As I’ve <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-you-need-to-know-about-george-soros-and-why-it-matters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> before, George Soros has been on my radar for a long time because he continues to appear anti-democratic. As a quick refresher, Soros grew up in Hungary and was recruited into a Jewish council as a child. These councils were set up by Nazis to do their bidding against the Jews’ own people. Soros was assigned the job of confiscating Jewish property in his community. As an adult looking back on this time in his childhood, Soros has said the experience <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1C8lwDonvg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wasn’t difficult</a> at all. His own father has indicated George seemed to have enjoyed working with the Nazis.
As an adult, Soros is actively working to see the end of America, evidence which is namely in the form of his investments. He has funded electing liberal district attorneys into office while advocating for defunding the police. Yet he does this cunningly by giving to one cause to ensure it makes its way to another. His network of fact-checkers cover his tracks, and the CIA and FBI leave him alone. As I expected, out of his five children, his son Alexander is set to fill his father’s role.
Alexander Soros was named “successor” to George in the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/george-soros-heir-son-alexander-soros-e3c4ca13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wall Street Journal</a> in June, just before his father turned 93 in August. George, of course, has been implementing legacy plans for how his work will continue which the Wall Street Journal documented in their first interview with Alexander, who plans to continue to fund leftist initiatives. Alexander is now overseeing “the $25 billion empire” and nonprofit Open Society Foundations (OSF). Labeled an American philanthropist and a younger son of the five Soros children, 38-year-old Alexander is also one of the World Economic Forum&#8217;s young global leaders of 2018 and beyond. 
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/is-nikki-haley-brown-enough-to-pull-the-race-card-i-investigate-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
This year, he spoke on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos. It was a rare opportunity to be able to hear him speak, but listening to him, I was genuinely shocked. He commented on technology, democracy, institutions, and Trump. At least, he said those words somewhere in his dialogue. He also said: 
<blockquote>I don&#8217;t think that that&#8217;s the fundamental, I don&#8217;t think technology is fundamental issue in in democracy. Democracy is messy. I mean, you know, democracy is about contestation of ideas. It&#8217;s about plurality. It&#8217;s about people having different truths, actually. Now, fundamentally, how society lives together, civically, in those in those contestations is, you know, is obviously, is obviously, you know, quite, quite, you know, quite tricky.</blockquote>
And:
<blockquote>And, you know, you know, we just heard this this point about untrustworthy people and we talked about things in the United States like, you know, like checks and balances which aren&#8217;t written anywhere but are customs. And one man, Donald Trump, literally came in and just took that, you know, took that, took that all away, you know, so, you know, so, you know, but when I see this, you know, when I look at this, you know, you know, more globally regarding, regarding, you know, regarding democracy, I also say to myself, when was this great time that everybody got along so well and, you know, things were going so, so great? </blockquote>
I was shocked at what came out of his mouth — or rather, what didn’t. I never imagined that. He is one of the individuals who get up on stage at this forum — a forum built around people who think they are the brightest people in the world and everyone else is too stupid to know how to live their own lives. So they sit down, plot, and think about the future of the world together because they don’t think anyone is smart enough to know how to take care of themselves.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="What You Need to Know About Alexander Soros" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U5b8_7MVy_8?start=96&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
To be sure, Alexander Soros is a trust fund baby. However, being a trust fund baby does not automatically equal stupidity. Coming from wealth also does not mean you did not earn some of your success. Yet Alexander Soros, the man who has just inherited billions of dollars and is going to represent the future, cannot so much as string together a sentence. Absolutely nothing he said made any sense. I have listened to the clip of his panel multiple times, but his words make no sense. They’re incoherent. I actually tried to figure out how he could say so much and absolutely nothing at all within a two minute span. Even someone on drugs or hungover could get a few sentences out. But not Alexander Soros.
This would actually be hilarious if it wasn’t for the fact that Soros has inherited billions and is going to shape the future of this country. He has the ability to do that because of the wealth that his father earned, which I emphasize because he clearly isn’t capable of earning that sort of wealth on his own. Alexander Soros is a trust fund baby — and he&#8217;s not a bright one.

So I will leave you with some final words from Alexander Soros:
<blockquote>I mean, I think, you know, you know, the, you know, I think that we really have to be careful here. And, you know, in this nostalgia for a time, you know, for a time past, because a lot of the reactions we&#8217;re seeing in society are actually reactions to positive, positive things like, you know, like equality for women, you know, and, you know, and greater diversity, which comes with backlash.</blockquote>
Who knows what he was trying to say.

World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is in full swing as liberal elites from all over the world travel to the wealthy and difficult-to-access Swiss mountain town of Davos to hobnob, enrich themselves, and conspire to control all of our lives. If that doesn&#8217;t sound cartoonishly villainous enough, the wealthy elites decided to kick things up a notch this year by inviting an actual witch to cast magic spells on the panelists.

The person in the headdress (who Elon Musk says looks like Elizabeth Warren) was saying some sort of prayer — obviously not a Christian prayer. One can only imagine which supposed deity she was invoking. In the midst of this prayer, she breathed on her hands, which certainly does not seem very cautious with regard to COVID. Then she continued on in her performance by coughing all over the panelists’ faces. These are the same people who led the charge of enforcing face masks, of telling us never to cough, and of implying it best just not to breathe. But there she stood, on stage, coughing directly on the panelists with a mixture of her presumably bacteria-ridden breath.

On the spiritual level, who knows what kind of spirits she was invoking. She styles herself as an indigenous shaman, which is just the PC term for witch. But this is nothing new. For all of human history, prideful elites have been inclined toward the ridiculous occult worship of false gods. The indigenous tribes all did it, the Canaanites did it, and even the Israelites did it when Moses left them to their own devices for five minutes in the desert. The counterparts to shamans and witches are priests and prophets. Both groups dress in funny clothing and perform rituals, but the difference is that while shamans cavort with demons, prophets proclaim the truth and, therefore, appear to predict the future. But, as a wise priest once observed, they only predict the future in the derivative sense of warning of the consequences of denying the truth.
We know the liberal elites of WEF have spread plenty of lies. Now they&#8217;re dancing around with actual witches. It doesn&#8217;t take an Old Testament prophet to know that the consequences are unlikely to be good.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1407-a-witch-headlines-world-economic-forum-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Michael Knowles Show</a></h4>
There is some good news coming out of WEF, an insufferable group of big lib elites, crony corporate leaders, and, apparently, witches. They all conspire in this really ritzy mountain town to control the entire world and to subvert self-government, which is why it was so refreshing when the newly elected leader of Argentina, Javier Milei, showed up. His appearance worried a lot of people. They said, “Oh, he’s a populist libertarian, and now he is going to become a WEF guy.” But Milei didn&#8217;t stick to the usual Davos script.
<div id="attachment_683877" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-683877" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-683877" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/uiooiu.png" alt="Screenshot: World Economic Forum" width="512" height="285" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/uiooiu.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/uiooiu-300x167.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />Screenshot: World Economic Forum</div>
Instead, Milei warned them that the Western world is in danger, saying, “It is in danger because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty.” He continued, saying that the main leaders in the West have abandoned freedom for collectivism. Then, he explained “that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather, they are the root cause.”
Now, I do not agree with Milei on everything. He is a libertarian, so he was speaking about material goods, how to alleviate poverty, how to enrich people, and freedom in a liberal, lowercase “l” sense, which he contrasts with collectivism. As I have said many times, I think radical individualism and radical collectivism are two sides of the same coin and both opposed to the common good, tradition, and conservatism. So I can’t give three cheers to Javier Milei, but I can give two because these people need to hear this.
The World Economic Forum people want to peddle socialism, they look to China as the model, some of them are outright communists, and now, they’re dancing around with witches. They are opposed to freedom, both the defective libertarian view of freedom and the true classical view of freedom. They’re opposed to both. So, it is amazing to see a world leader attend and give them a piece of his mind and at least point out all that they are getting wrong, even if Milei doesn’t have the exact right answer to combat it. This was great to see in an otherwise alternately bizarre and downright occult kind of World Economic Forum.

The Bizarre And Occult World Economic Forum Welcomes A Witch

Leftists

Liberals

Michael Knowles

Switzerland

This week, amidst all of the domestic political hubbub here in the United States, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is happening over at Davos. Now, why exactly is the World Economic Forum important?
In 1971, there was an organization that was established by Klaus Schwab, who is a German engineer, economist, and professor with a James Bond villain accent. He created this organization so that heads of business in heads of state could discuss what he called “stakeholder capitalism.” Stakeholder capitalism was a theory he expressed that essentially suggested if you owned a company, you ought not answer to your shareholders; if you managed a company, you ought not answer to profit margin or shareholders.
Instead, you ought to answer to every stakeholder in the world — meaning governments. Meaning people who didn&#8217;t own stock in your company. Meaning everyone.
Now, you might ask yourself: Then to whom are you accountable? Because it turns out that the rando who doesn&#8217;t own shares in your company can actually fire you or sell your stock or change anything about the way you run your company.
The answer that Klaus Schwab would give is: You are answerable to no one. You, as the head of a company, should be like a king with his own little kingdom. You, as the head of a company, should be a lord, and the company should act as your fiefdom. And you can pretend that you&#8217;re acting in the name of the general will.
But what you truly are is some sort of prophet from on high brought to spread your values. And this was the basis of stakeholder capitalism.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1887-davos-vs-the-rest-of-us-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
This theory was promoted via what was called the European Management Symposium. That&#8217;s what the WEF was originally called in 1971. By 1975, it had grown so quickly that 860 participants, including the CEOs and chairman of the largest European companies, started showing up. That same year, only four years after creation, the European Management Forum, the EMF, was now partnering with the United Nations.
According to the WEF website itself, “After just five years, the Forum had gained acceptance at the highest levels of business and government. While not advocating policy or strategy, the Forum had become a respected organization that served as a valuable platform for business, government, civil society and other stakeholders to confer and collaborate. Klaus Schwab’s stakeholder theory was beginning to evolve into a broader concept of corporate global citizenship.” 
In 1987, the European Management Forum changed its name from the EMF to the WEF. 
So what is the WEF today? The same thing, except bigger, much more prominent. 10,000 people show up at the WEF every year, but the people who are on stage, the people who are meeting in the back rooms, are all of the global influential people.
They are the heads of major corporations and the heads of government, and they all come to pat each other on the back and explore what they have in common. What they have in common is a very peculiar set of values you do not share with them, a set of values that suggest they are responsible for solving all of the world&#8217;s problems.
They should collude and decide what system prevails everywhere. They should collude and decide what information you are capable of seeing and understanding problems like the climate. They will get together, and they will restructure entire swathes of the global economy in order to fight back against climate change. 
This is what they do. Let&#8217;s face it, this is a weird group of people because the people at the top levels of power, particularly in the West, are a strange group of people. They are disproportionately secular. They are disproportionately of the political Left. These are people who do not have ties to traditional ways of life in traditional values.
They are also people who seem to have scorn for the culture that actually bore them and, instead, have embraced this peculiar notion of multiculturalism in which all cultures are created equal. And that leads to this really sort of paternalistic and odd look at the WEF, where people are walking in wearing $5,000 suits and $20,000 watches, and then they are paying homage to poor Native Americans or natives of Europe or whoever is showing up.
Yesterday at the WEF, for example, there was a bizarre spectacle of a native woman of some sort with her face painted, appearing before various company owners, heads of state, and top level bureaucrats.
These Bane knockoffs, except in corporate garb, have come up with all sorts of interesting and weird ways to restructure the global system in order to run it and control you.

There&#8217;s language people in the West love to use when they&#8217;re talking about controlling you: the language of war. The War on Poverty is about controlling income. It is about controlling redistribution of wealth. The war on climate change is similarly about controlling exactly how you live your life. These people are eager to use war language, because in a war, you get to take control of literally everyone, day and night.
But — there was one wonderful moment during the WEF. Javier Milei, who&#8217;s become my spirit animal, the President of Argentina, who is colorful and a wonderful economist rock star, an all around Wolfman, was speaking at the WEF. And he just laid into them, and it was wonderful. He stated: 
<blockquote>Do not surrender to the advance of the state. The state is not the solution. The state is the problem itself. You are the true protagonists of this story. And rest assured that as from today, Argentina is your staunch, unconditional ally. … Long live freedom.
Today I&#8217;m here to tell you that the Western world is in danger. And it is in danger because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty. Unfortunately, in recent decades, motivated by some well-meaning individuals willing to help others and others motivated by the wish to belong to a privileged caste, the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism.</blockquote>
This is great stuff. Good for Javier Milei for going to the WEF and slapping people across the head.
It’s precisely what they deserve.

Day Two Of The World Economic Forum (WEF) 2024

Javier Milei Wrecks The WEF. Good For Him.

Argentina

Ben Shapiro

Javier Milei

Klaus Schwab

Newly inaugurated Argentinian President Javier Milei blasted Western leaders and warned of the dangers of “collectivism” during a Wednesday speech at the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual meeting. 
World leaders gathered in Davos, Switzerland, beginning on Monday, where they will hold speeches and panel discussions on issues ranging from artificial intelligence (AI) and climate policies to the ongoing wars between Ukraine and Russia and Israel and Hamas. On his way to Davos, Milei said he was attending the WEF conference to advocate for freedom, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/17/argentina-president-javier-milei-urges-davos-elite-to-reject-socialism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to CNBC. 
“Today, I’m here to tell you that the Western world is in danger,” Milei began his remarks at the WEF meeting. “And it is in danger because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty.”
“Unfortunately in recent decades, motivated by some well-meaning individuals willing to help others and others motivated by the wish to belong to a privileged class, the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism,” Milei added. “We’re here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather, they are the root cause.”
The Argentinian libertarian president then said that there is no better than his country “to testify to these two points.”

Milei took center stage in Argentina last year, winning a shocking victory in November as he rode a wave of anti-establishment sentiment. He <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/javier-milei-argentina-president-inauguration-9574d812" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pledged</a> to gut federal government agencies and slash government spending by around 40%, warning against Argentina’s high inflation rate, which has blown up to more than 200%, and the socialist policies that put the country in a dire economic position.   
After taking office, the Argentinian president <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/17/economy/milei-argentina-speech-world-economic-forum/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">devalued</a> his country’s currency and is pushing to abolish Argentina’s central bank and privatize its pension system. 
At the conclusion of his speech, Milei added, “Do not surrender to the advance of the state! The state is not the solution; the state is the problem itself.” 
“Long live freedom, dammit!” he said.

In the latest episode of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/facts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facts</a>,” Daily Wire Editor Emeritus <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-shapiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> explains the history behind the World Economic Forum and what Americans need to know about its power-hungry agenda. 
In the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/tbdeee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a>, released on Saturday ahead of the WEF’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, next week, Shapiro explained the history of the organization and how it evolved into the entity it is today. He said that the organization had little respect for representative democracy or liberty, but wanted to impose top-down control. 
“The World Economic Forum was first established in 1971, led by a German engineer, economist, and professor with a master&#8217;s from Harvard. His name was Klaus Schwab. Schwab was the originator of a theory of governance and markets he called stakeholder capitalism, defined in opposition to shareholder capitalism,” Shapiro said. 
Shareholder capitalism is when businesses primarily focus on returns to investors while stakeholder capitalism suggests that businesses should answer to the world at large. 
“This philosophy, of course, means that those who control corporations ought to act as philosopher kings, answerable to no one but their own perceptions of moral duty. Unsurprisingly, this particular argument is attractive to those who love the idea of top down command and control,” Shapiro said. 
In recent years, the WEF has pushed for a “Great Reset” of capitalism to transform industry in pursuit of the so-called fourth industrial revolution. This includes pushing the concepts of “social sustainability” and “environmental sustainability” onto global corporations. It’s a call to revolutionize the world and how it currently works, Shapiro explained.  
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1883-america-bombs-the-houthis-f-around-find-out-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
“Almost certainly the new revolution will look like top down social engineering by the big brain, all in the name of smoothing out the bumps of technological change. Regulators will work hand-in-glove with big business to work out the rules for your life,” Shapiro explained.
He also said that pushing this global agenda of elite control conflicted with traditional Western concepts like liberty and representative democracy, which were disliked by the WEF.  
“If all of this sounds frightening, that&#8217;s because it is. The arrogance of the business and governmental elite seeking to control all of us is absolutely breathtaking. The policies discussed at Davos shape the elite caste in nearly all Western countries. When you hear about the end of carbon-based fossil fuels or a global tax regime or corporate governmental cooperation, a lot of that is coming from Davos and the World Economic Forum,” Shapiro concluded. “And when those globalists get together at Davos, understand the ideas they are discussing will have a real world effect on you, your business, your church, and your family.”

Facts Intro Still

Ben Shapiro Explains What Americans Need To Know About The World Economic Forum’s Agenda

Capitalism

Stakeholder capitalism

Throughout my career, it’s become increasingly difficult to follow all the various things I get accused of being. Depending on what hour of the day it is, I may either be in the Illuminati or a Satanist. I’ve been accused of being tied to George Soros, in cahoots with Klaus Schwab, and connected to the World Economic Forum. I can’t even keep up with it all myself. There are people in this world — people even on the conservative side — who believe this nonsense. The problem with this is far bigger than there being false rumors circulating about me. The real problem is, people’s minds have been so bent, they distrust everything and everyone, and this mentality is hurting our cause.
For the record, I do not like George Soros. I believe he is an incredibly evil man. I have dedicated hours to trying to expose the ways in which he is using his money to corrupt the West. I believe he has an allegiance to the East, and I have questions about his childhood. His media arm has done numerous hit pieces on me from the very first time I appeared on the scene and they continue to do so, attempting to get me cancelled. Despite all these efforts, some people still believe I am somehow tied to George Soros. I was tagged in a picture with one of my best friends whose last name is Schwab, and I was immediately connected to Klaus Schwab — because, obviously, every person on the planet who has the last name Schwab must be related to Klaus Schwab. And because I was connected to Klaus Schwab, I was also related to the World Economic Forum and then also connected to George Soros.
Being accused of having a connection to Soros via the World Economic Forum via Schwab via my friend is not the first weird allegation that’s been made about me. Once, when I was filming my show with a studio audience, I paused in thought, looking to my left and folding my hands.

I often look to the side when I’m thinking, and I’m very Talladega Nights, in the sense that I don’t know what to do with my hands. (But that, of course, would be too reasonable of a reason for that pose.) Someone grabbed a screenshot, and this image has been shared all over. According to this Tweet, what it actually means is that I’m a freemason deceiver shill, etc.

Clearly, I’m not vaccinated. I am very passionately against vaccines. I have an entire series dedicated to showing people vaccines have always been a scam for children. So getting pizza without a vaccine? Challenge accepted. We got someone to get us a whole pizza, and I took a picture to brag about managing to pull that off. Then suddenly the comments on Instagram had me somehow tied in with Pizzagate and the Clintons and then George Soros. Me. Candace Owens. I couldn’t even eat a slice of pizza trying to be funny to show how I skirted the law in New York City without people associating me with children being abused.

What is happening now is that people who are on our side are no longer able to even see straight. And I understand the distrust. We have been lied to over and over again. There are huge questions that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-medias-cover-up-of-barack-obamas-alleged-illicit-gay-affairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have not been answered</a>. But when people are only promoting the worst evils for every single person, that is not helping our cause. It’s hurting it. As an example, I do not support Ron DeSantis being the next president of the United States. I think he is a great governor, but I also think he’s fake and has too much donor money. But what I say about him has nothing to do with whether I like him or not. Yet now, people seem to think if they don’t like someone, they’re being fraudulent so they need to smear them.
Vivek Ramaswamy is facing this right now because, years ago, a scholarship he was awarded to go to law school came from Soros. But context matters — if you care about the truth — and he has <a href="https://www.glennbeck.com/radio/vivek-ramaswamy-slams-3-lies-presidential-run" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained this in great detail</a>. I applied for every single scholarship I could get my hands on. When my guidance counselor said scholarships would reduce costs, I applied, I wrote essays, and I had no idea where the scholarship money was coming from. My family couldn’t afford to put me through college, and I was trying to get money any way I could. Wise students try to get as much money as possible. It doesn’t make them fundamentally dishonest human beings who don’t deserve to be in the discourse of politics, as some have labeled Ramaswamy.
You don’t have to like Ramaswamy, Trump, DeSantis, or even me. But we all need to be meaningful and sincere in our critiques. Can we at least be honest? Can we be real? If I get attacked, people should at least know that a girl who came from absolutely nothing wouldn’t be in the Illuminati because the truth is, she just doesn’t know what to do with her hands when she’s thinking. People have moved from the red pill to the black pill and are no longer able to process reality whatsoever. They believe that everything and everyone is corrupt. Everything is a conspiracy theory. But we must be realistic.
The Left watches the media and believes it to be reality and can’t think on their own. In the same way we say the Left is demented because they believe absolutely everything, we have a small segment on the Right that is becoming equally as demented because they believe absolutely nothing. It’s opposite sides of the same coin.
The black pill is becoming dangerous. And we need to get real. Otherwise, we are just hurting our movement, our cause, and ourselves.

The Illuminati, Pizzagate, Schwab, And Soros: Are The Rumors About Me True?

Conspiracy Theory

Pizzagate

Many people have warned me that talking about George Soros is dangerous. Others have told me that it is brave. If you comment on him on X, formerly Twitter, a whole network of blue checkmarks flood the replies saying you are anti-Semitic. But Soros does not really care that he is Jewish. He does not hold any allegiance to Jews. We need only to look where he spends his money. His financial records prove he is anti-Israel. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. 
In January, Matt Palumbo published an in-depth biography on Soros titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Man-Behind-Curtain-Inside-Network/dp/163758332X" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Man Behind the Curtain: Inside the Secret Network of George Soros</a>.” Palumbo joined me to discuss his book a few months ago because I wanted to learn more. Soros has been on my radar for a long time. It seems like every time something terrible happens, that “something” can be traced back to Soros’ dollars. I want to continue talking about what I am learning, what Palumbo shared with me, and what we need to be on the lookout for moving forward. 
Born to a Jewish family, Soros grew up in Hungary. During World War II, the Nazis set up Jewish councils in various countries to do their bidding against their own people. As Palumbo shared with me, some who participated were forced and others may have believed they would be spared from Nazi brutality. Soros was one of the children recruited into one of these councils. One of Soros’ assigned tasks was to help confiscate property of Jews living in his community. In what has become an infamous <a href="https://www.worldcat.org/title/60-minutes-george-soros/oclc/934520933" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; episode</a>, Steve Kroft asks Soros about this experience: “That sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?” Kroft was clearly giving Soros an out, a chance to express his regret, or perhaps his conviction, from having been involved. But without pausing, Soros vehemently shakes his head saying, “Not at all.” While smiling. Kroft had paved an easy path for Soros to gain sympathy from viewers, but Soros blew right past any chance of that.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/convicting-a-murderer#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace&#8217;s new documentary: &#8216;Convicting a Murderer&#8217;</a></h4>
If Soros had been forced into this council in an attempt to survive as a child, we could all sympathize. But it was Soros’ response as an adult that is disturbing. The coldness of his response is unnerving. Not only was dehumanization apparently not difficult for Soros, but he also seemed to have no remorse. It is bizarre he did not identify what happened as horrific or comment on feeling sad. Instead, he nonchalantly and very plainly confirmed he did not feel guilt. His dad, Tivadar, even said in his <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Masquerade-Incredible-George-Outsmarted-Gestapo/dp/1611450241">autobiography</a> “Masquerade: The Incredible True Story of How George Soros’ Father Outsmarted the Gestapo” that Soros seemed to have enjoyed participating with the Nazis. Needless to say, Soros is not a practicing Jew, nor is he welcome in his own home country. But Hungary is not the only country Soros is after. 
George Soros wants to see the end of America. It is clear he is fostering America’s demise — the evidence is everywhere, especially his wallet. He has spent millions to fund electing DAs into positions of power across America. More liberal officials mean more chaos, which the Left seems to love. Palumbo said in all his research, he was unable to find one rogue DA in any of Soros’ funded districts to show where crime went down. Soros is ensuring that criminals are turned loose to run free on the streets. He wants to see police defunded, and he consistently donates to these initiatives. But he is being smart about it. As Palumbo told me, he essentially funnels money through one cause to make it to another, like Black Lives Matter. So he is passing money through a chain, making it appear as though he is giving to one cause, when really, his money is making its way to another. He gives to organizations that support a plethora of leftist causes and relies on everyone’s financial stupidity not to recognize it. Then, as another safeguard, his network of fact-checkers can cover his tracks. He is connected to people at practically all the major media outlets. So, most articles defend him or reframe the story entirely. And how does he control them? He funds them. His fact-checkers protect him while anyone else is afraid to expose him — since anyone else’s reputation would stand a good chance of being destroyed. 
It is no mystery George Soros hates America. It is, however, a mystery as to why. Everything he is doing is forcing the Western hemisphere and America to spiral. He does nothing to help the Jewish people whose lives were ruined after the war. He does not give to Holocaust memorials. He does not support Israel. He obviously does not like the results that came from the war and believes it to have been an unrighteous ending. What does he believe should have happened post-World War II? Why does he have so much hatred for the people who liberated him? How could he spend his life having such contempt for Americans? 
The CIA and the FBI are apparently unconcerned. But I think we should all be wondering why. We should be concerned that the FBI is not looking at Soros. Instead of dissolving his work, they are helping maintain it. Perhaps it is not just the journalists, DAs, and fact-checkers under his thumb. 
If we connect the dots, we might wonder about his relationship with the CIA and FBI as well. 
George Soros is 92-years-old, but his legacy will live on. He is made sure of that. He has four sons and one daughter, but his son Alex is the one who will likely fill his father’s role. We can expect cities to be full of more crime, have more criminals wandering the streets, see more underhanded political dealings, and attempt more of the demise of America. We need to be keeping a close eye on this man — and his legacy. Soros is not going anywhere, but if it is up to him, America might be.

What You Need To Know About George Soros And Why It Matters

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro exposed the powerful global entities working to deplatform and demonetize conservative voices in a new <a href="https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1686109381761318912?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter thread</a>. 
Shapiro explained in the Monday thread how the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/world-economic-forum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Economic Forum</a> (WEF), the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), and NewsGuard were all working together to crack down on so-called “misinformation” and dictate what media is “safe” for advertising.  
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
🧵Here’s how the World Economic Forum is quietly working to demonetize and deplatform right-of-center voices, including <a href="https://twitter.com/realDailyWire?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@realDailyWire</a>, using authoritarian tactics and hall monitor “fact-checkers” like <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsGuardRating?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NewsGuardRating</a>. <a href="https://t.co/xgukS5n6d5">https://t.co/xgukS5n6d5</a>
&mdash; Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) <a href="https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1686109381761318912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 31, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The WFA, which <a href="https://wfanet.org/knowledge/item/2017/01/30/Agency-Trading-Desks-still-dominate-programmatic-but-advertisers-are-demanding-a-new-more-transparent-relationship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">represents</a> 90% of “global marketing communications,” launched the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) in 2019. Soon after, the World Economic Forum <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-takes-on-corporations-behind-censorship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adopted</a> GARM as one of its “flagship” projects. 
“GARM is an unholy alliance between huge advertisers and social media companies like Google’s YouTube, China’s TikTok, Meta’s Facebook &amp; Instagram, and even Twitter/X and Snapchat. GARM developed something they call the ‘brand safety floor &amp; suitability framework,’” Shapiro explained. 
The Daily Wire co-founder said the framework might be fine if it stuck to things like blocking child pornography, but it also included cracking down on viewpoints that GARM found objectionable. 
“But their authoritarian nature kicked in, &amp; they decided to ban cultural commentary they don&#8217;t approve of, like when we say men can&#8217;t be women,” Shapiro said. 
“Legacy media, new media, and even independent podcasters are subject to these rules. If you violate them and say true things the elites don&#8217;t like, they can blacklist you, demonetize you, or deplatform you,” he added. 
Shapiro said that he doesn’t think that WEF chairman Klaus Schwab believes that transgender-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney is actually a woman, but that supporting that position degrades family and social fabric, “making power easier to take from the top.” He added that it also makes the activists marching against capitalism now on the side of the powerful. 
One of the organizations that “helps” advertisers meet GARM standards is NewsGuard, which rates American media on supposedly apolitical criteria. According to NewsGuard, it helps <a href="https://www.newsguardtech.com/press/newsguard-offers-targeted-services-free-audits-to-help-brands-meet-new-garm-misinformation-standards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identify</a> so-called “misinformation” that is “inappropriate for advertising support.”
“The little compliance crusaders at NewsGuard engage in performative virtue signaling by going around issuing scores to media outlets based on their allegedly ‘apolitical’ criteria,” Shapiro said. 
The partnership has made even some lawmakers concerned. House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoenaed officials from GARM and the WFA, saying that the two appeared to be facilitating “collusion among their members in a manner that may violate U.S. antitrust law.”
The end goal of the initiatives, Shapiro explained, is to control information and restrict what people can and cannot be exposed to.
“There are certain industries where a violation of antitrust law isn’t going to result in disaster. The Left’s increasing desire to monopolize news and commentary isn&#8217;t one of them. Take the time to know the players like your freedom depends on it, because it does,” Shapiro concluded.

Ben Shapiro Details The Global Entities Working To ‘Demonetize And Deplatform’ Conservative Voices

Fact Check

Media

There&#8217;s a group of people who control what you are allowed to see — the news you read, the videos you watch, the posts you engage with.
You haven&#8217;t heard of them. You don&#8217;t know their names, but they determine, through methods both direct and indirect, whether you are allowed to be exposed to particular messages. Their decisions can bankrupt companies, silence voices, and fundamentally shift cultural norms. Who are these people and how do they do this?
Well, at the top level you have a network of global elites who have created a universal framework full of guidelines and ratings designed to enforce “approved” narratives and punish disapproved ones. It sounds like a conspiracy theory, except it isn&#8217;t a secret and we&#8217;re not guessing. 
First, you have the World Economic Forum, the WEF, and their platform for shaping the future of media, entertainment, and culture. Second, you have the World Federation of Advertisers, the WFA, who represent mega-corporations that control 90% of global advertising dollars. WFA members are a who&#8217;s who of global business and include some of our recent wokeified favorites like Bud Light&#8217;s parent company AB InBev, Hershey, Procter &amp; Gamble, Lego, and Disney.
There is barely a billionaire Fortune 500 CEO, heavyweight philanthropist, government, or woke nonprofit that isn&#8217;t associated with the WEF or the WFA.
In 2019, the WFA established the Global Alliance for Responsible Media or GARM. Within months, the WEF adopted GARM as part of its platform for shaping the future of media, entertainment, and culture. GARM is a cross-industry alliance that brings these mega-corporations — the advertisers — together with big tech companies like Meta who owns Facebook and Instagram, Google owned YouTube, the CCP’s TikTok, and even Snapchat and Pinterest.
This unholy alliance created something they call the Brand Safety Floor &amp; Suitability Framework. Think of Brand Safety as a dog whistle for censorship. They say it themselves: The Brand Safety Floor means, “Content not appropriate for any advertising support.” In other words, if you publish content that violates these guidelines, you will be blacklisted from 90% of the advertising revenue in the marketplace.
So what have these global elites decided to put in their censorship framework? They started with things we can all universally agree on, like preventing the distribution of child pornography or the advocacy of graphic terrorist activity. But they don&#8217;t draw the line at what is objectively criminal, abusive, or dangerous. They continue expanding the guidelines to include far more subjective parameters.
For example, the framework lists subjective terms like hate speech as a problem. It says that anything surrounding transgenderism that they decide is dehumanizing or discussing what they deem to be a debated social issue in an insensitive way is off limits. 
The framework is deliberately vague, allowing those in control to pick and choose how they enforce it and against whom.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/facts-ep-1-news-guard-the-company-trying-to-control-your-mind" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: &#8216;Facts&#8217; Episode 1: The Company Trying To Control Your Mind</a></h4>
So how exactly do the approved narratives set by these global entities get enforced all the way down to the daily content you consume? 
Well, here&#8217;s how. We&#8217;ll start with NewsGuard. NewsGuard is an organization that formulates ratings for American media. They rank news sites on a 0-to-100 scale based on nine supposedly apolitical criteria. These criteria are anything but apolitical. They often align with leftwing positions.
During the height of COVID, NewsGuard falsely labeled and downgraded 21 news sites, only well after the fact admitting that they either &#8220;mischaracterized the site&#8217;s claims&#8221; about the lab leak theory — referring to the lab leak theory as a &#8220;conspiracy theory&#8221; — or &#8220;wrongly grouped together unproven claims&#8221; about the lab leak with the &#8220;separate, false claim&#8221; that the &#8220;COVID-19 virus was man-made&#8221; without explaining that one claim was unsubstantiated and the other was false.
&#8220;NewsGuard apologizes for these errors,&#8221; they said. &#8220;We have made the appropriate correction on each of the 21 labels.&#8221;
And when you compare their ratings of Left-leaning news organizations to Right-leaning news organizations, you see the same bias appear.
The Media Research Center, a free speech nonprofit, studied NewsGuards&#8217; ratings. The study found glaring examples of bias by NewsGuard. 
The Left&#8217;s BuzzFeed managed a 100 out of 100 perfect score, despite its reporting on the Steele dossier and alleging collusion between Trump and Russia.
The study found that The Global Times, a Chinese propaganda government outlet, scored a 39.5 — that is 27 points higher than the U.S.-based conservative outlet The Federalist. Despite a scandal at USA Today revealing the publication of multiple fabricated sources in their stories and their own fact checking operation misleading readers on the history of the Democratic Party and the KKK, USA Today maintained the 100 out of 100 rating by NewsGuard.
NewsGuard is also working with others to use AI technology to enforce Brand Safety standards at scale, by identifying scalable hoaxes and misinformation in order to streamline blanket removal. This means that the news that you read, news that is supposed to be fair and objective or at least diverse, must adhere to GARM, the WEF, the WFA and their subjective and biased standards in order to be deemed monetizable.
If you think this is only something big news corporations have to contend with, think again. Even the content you consume from independent content creators on social media platforms is subject to these globalist powers that be. 
The WEF, GARM, and the WFA, they&#8217;re all actively working with social media companies to censor what they consider to be misinformation, which very often is just good information with which they disagree.
Finally, the WEF, WFA, and GARM, they&#8217;re all aggressively pouring billions of dollars a year into news and content that drives their preferred narrative — narratives that are often counterfactual at best and harmful at worst.
When you look at the news, you need to feel as though you&#8217;re getting all the information. And even if one source isn&#8217;t giving you all the information, you can find another source, and all the sources together will give you a broad view of the world. But the World Economic Forum, World Federation of Advertisers, and the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, they don&#8217;t want you to have a full view of the news.
They want you to see what they want you to see. And they will work to prevent anyone from disseminating information they don&#8217;t pre-approve. They are determining what you see, what you hear, what you watch. And that&#8217;s dangerous.

A group of world elites, including individuals connected to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pfizer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pfizer</a>, the U.S. intelligence community, and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/world-economic-forum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Economic Forum</a>, are in Portugal this weekend for a meeting to discuss a variety of topics, including <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">artificial intelligence</a>, Ukraine, and China. 
The high-profile attendees of the annual Bilderberg meeting, which include Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and World Economic Forum President Børge Brende <a href="https://bilderbergmeetings.org/press/press-release/participants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to a participant list, will discuss a variety of topics including artificial intelligence, banking, China, energy transition, Europe, industrial policy, NATO, Russia, transnational threats, Ukraine, and the United States&#8217; role in the world. 
The meeting, which is <a href="https://bilderbergmeetings.org/press/press-release/press-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taking place</a> from May 18-21 in Lisbon, will feature about 130 participants in fields like finance, government, and tech from 23 different countries. Due to the nature of the meetings, little is known about the specifics of what the leaders will discuss. 
“The Bilderberg Meeting is a forum for informal discussions about major issues. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed,” the meeting’s website says. 
According to event organizers, the Bilderberg meetings were begun in 1954 to create dialogue between European and North American elites. 
“Thanks to the private nature of the Meeting, the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken and no policy statements are issued,” the Bilderberg website says. 
Several American political and military figures are listed as attendees, including two-time failed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/stacey-abrams" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stacey Abrams</a>, U.S. general and current Supreme Allied Commander Europe Christopher Cavoli, statesman Henry Kissinger, former Obama administration National Security Council director Tarun Chhabra, and former Trump administration National Security Council member Matthew Pottinger. 
Individuals linked to the Biden administration were also listed as participants, including former National Economic Council director Brian Deese, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly, Commerce Department China advisor Elizabeth Economy, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, and National Security Council member Tom Wright.

Leaders from Canada, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland, and the European Commission were all scheduled to attend as well.
Media and cultural figures were also scheduled to be in attendance, including liberal Atlantic journalist Annie Applebaum, historian and Stanford fellow Niall Ferguson, Museum of Modern Art chair Marie-Josée Kravis, Bloomberg News editor-in-chief John Micklethwait, and The Economist editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes. 
Republican donors and businessmen Ken Griffin and Peter Thiel were also listed as participating, in addition to Microsoft CEO Satya ​​Nadella, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Goldman Sachs COO John Waldron, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Yaccarino also served as board chair for the Ad Council, an entity which creates public service announcements for nonprofits and governments. She partnered with the Biden administration to launch a campaign featuring Pope Francis in order to promote COVID vaccines.
Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1656898688739057665" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insisted</a> on Friday that Yaccarino would not institute the shadow bans which frequently targeted conservatives under the previous management of Twitter. The phrase &#8220;RIP Twitter&#8221; nevertheless trended on the platform after he officially announced her appointment to work as chief executive.
Users also unearthed an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypZNWjPpOuI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> Yaccarino conducted with Musk last month in which she pressed him to amend his own spontaneous use of the platform and contended that advertisers “need to feel that there is an opportunity for them to influence” the site with respect to “content moderation.”
Yaccarino and Musk clashed as she asked Musk to reinstitute the “well populated, much loved influence council” that existed before he purchased the company last year. Musk countered that he would be “worried about creating a backlash among the public” should they believe that “their views are being determined” by a handful of elite marketing executives.

“It’s totally cool to say that you want to have your advertising appear in certain places on Twitter and not in other places, but it is not cool to try to say what Twitter will do,” he remarked. “And if that means losing advertising dollars, we lose it, but freedom of speech is paramount.”
Musk, who also serves as chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX, said he acquired Twitter at the end of last year in order to reserve a corner of the public square for open dialogue. The billionaire entrepreneur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-takes-away-blue-check-verification-from-celebrities-and-news-outlets-confusion-and-hilarity-ensue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> a new revenue structure based on subscriptions rather than advertisements after he noted that a number of companies have ended their relationships with the platform at the behest of leftist organizations, dealing a significant blow to the business.
“Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists,” Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1588538640401018880" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarked</a> on the platform. “Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.”

Twitter CEO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> is reportedly in talks to name NBCUniversal’s head of advertising Linda Yaccarino the CEO of the company as he prepares to shift his role to executive chairman and chief technology officer.
Yaccarino has been at NBCUniversal for more than a decade where her focus has been on finding the best methods for measuring the effectiveness of advertising.
Musk announced on Thursday afternoon that he had hired a woman to become the company&#8217;s new CEO, but he declined to name her.
&#8220;Excited to announce that I’ve hired a new CEO for X/Twitter,&#8221; Musk wrote on Twitter. &#8220;She will be starting in ~6 weeks! My role will transition to being exec chair &amp; CTO, overseeing product, software &amp; sysops.&#8221;
Yaccarino is also the Chairman of the World Economic Forum’s Taskforce on Future of Work.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
In Linda Yaccarino, Elon Musk gets a CEO who is a seasoned ad executive who generally shares his political leanings.
But she&#39;s also the Chairman of a World Economic Forum task force so she can comfortably liaise with Twitter&#39;s current investors and advertisers around the world.

A review of her Twitter account shows that she frequently engages or &#8220;likes&#8221; a lot of content from Musk and some of Musk&#8217;s top allies.
Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-elon-musk-stepping-down-as-the-ceo-of-twitter-reveals-what-hell-do-next" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> shortly after taking over at Twitter that perhaps remaining CEO permanently was not the best situation for him, noting at the time that he would have to start searching for someone who could handle the role.
The billionaire entrepreneur polled users on the social media site in December of last year, asking whether they believed he should step down as CEO — and he promised, “I will abide by the results of this poll.”
In just 12 hours, 17,502,391 votes poured in, and the majority (57.5%) said that yes, they believed he should step down. Another 42.5% voted no.
“I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software &amp; servers teams,” he tweeted once the poll results were in.
