I didn't realize the steep fees to attend the WEF. It sounds more like a money making venture for Klaus, but hey, what do I know? The US government is paying some of the fees, lucky for our attendees.

You'll be happy to know that certain media organizations will be present to hold these elite accountable to join the elite in controlling the messaging and push the climate agenda. I laugh at CNN being there because they couldn't afford to keep CNN+ running into the ground. So where did they get the funds to go to WEF? Inquiring minds want to know.

Speaking of corporate media; I caught part of a CNN segment on the monkeypox cases last night at the gym, and it was fun watching them tie themselves into knots trying to simultaneously acknowledge the now widely-reported news that the outbreak is sourced to two massive “gay rave parties”; and frantically spin that any assertion that the outbreak is tied to… any demographic group/behavior is particular, is “stigmatizing”, and therefore doubleplusungoodthink.

We might not have been able to predict this in the 1980's, or maybe we could. But they created this logic puzzle all on their own.

I know of no media outlet that is talking about this within the US, other than one or two articles in obscure places. It could and should be a major story that everyone learns about, but of course they won't. That doesn't help the WEF.
TACOMA, WASH. (TND) — A Democratic congressional candidate in Washington state wants to pass a “Housing for All” bill, and thinks a legion of one million squatters could help, according to a new campaign ad.

Doc Fauci's back in the 80s and loving it, no doubt, since he "made his bones" with the AIDS crisis.

it was really remarkable. The message was basically, “so we can’t deny that this link is true, because it’s already been reported; but you are not supposed to think about it, because those are bad thoughts.”

Now THAT is a respectable distribution of chocolate. But I'll be honest; I'm not much into truffles. But this will keep me off your machine for at least a month.

I did not realize we were building a new CVN, much less another one named Enterprise.
So Gropey Joe hasn't canceled this yet, at the behest of Beijing? Or at least insisted it be renamed the George Floyd or the Rachel Levine or something like that?

She was trouble, as all dames are. She showed up carrying a crowbar, like she knew something about the line of work I'm in. But when I showed her the truffles, she set the crowbar down and gracefully sat down with the box, carefully deciding which one to taste.
She had the look about her, that she knew her chocolates. But I don't trust any dame that doesn't like dark chocolate.
