“There, in the rarefied air of smugness and hubris, the planet’s moral exemplars gather to look down their long noses at the flailing peasants of the flatlands, mired as we are in the filth and disgrace of our own wretched ignorance.”
Joel, the two hour communication knocked the ball out of the park. A delight to listen to three of the most brilliant macroeconomists around, who expounded right down to current industrial reality in real, essential commodities and the companies who have the best chance of productive growth. I consider your ability to get these three giants into the same virtual room, a coup of a high order.
Thanks for the kind words, Dean! Members can access the full recording of the even - plus download the transcript. With Rick, Eric and Byron's presentations, I'd humbly suggest this event alone was worth the price of admission. Cheers!
I think you’re counting your chickens before they hatch, DEI and the Climate Change agenda might be fading but the digital ID is still full steam ahead. I like like to think of the WEF as the marketing arm for Bilderberg and that is where these elites discuss their most sinister plans that are NSFW.
Alas, the CBDC train is indeed accelerating away from the station. You're quite right there. Still, small victories are worth counting... even if there are many battles ahead. Cheers!
I smell something bad in Trump's so called new 'Board of Peace' that he hopes will replace the UN. It smells like another money making scheme to divide the spoils from Gaza.
I highly doubt that it have anything to do with real peace.
Looks like BB didn't attend the 'Board of Peace' meeting for fear of being arrested there.
I love your writing. My husband asked how much I pay to subscribe and I realize I don't remember. It doesn't seem like I've paid in quite a while. Can you tell me? He came downstairs to my computer to listen to your last webinar. We have found in our old comfortable age, that him living upstairs with his clutter, and me downstairs; clean and tidy - works great! How blessed are we that we can live in the same house but enjoy two places?
G’day Judy! An annual subscription to these Notes From the End of the World goes for $70, or about a dollar thirty-five a week. Glad you’re enjoying the messages! Cheers!
I will also note that the Original Climate Tsar, AlGore, was in attendance at the Gathering formerly hosted by der Schwabenklaus, just as his sandbox, the US, once again prepared itself for an Extreme Weather Event, also known as a Global Warming Event (Arctic Blast) that might paralyze a large area within the nation. Of course, his minions now want to just call it Climate Change, since the Green New Scam is RIP. But AlGore still thinks the US is the primary driver of Climate Change.
Funny how major cold weather events in the US always line up with the WEF confabulation.
Good news for Argentina but what a smartass piece of writing this is. We can all see where this populist scorn for elites and the educated have brought us, there is not an ounce of greatness in our future, there is not an ounce of wisdom from these right wing bloviating liars. Quoting Howard Lutnick and trump, really? Hilarious. I won't be buying into this nonsense.
Perhaps you missed trump's campaign style 'speech'? The entire globe witnessed the POTUS make a whining fool of himself. He can't differentiate Greenland from Iceland. We won WWII and they should be grateful? Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of British and French soldiers who gave their lives. NATO will not come to our defense? The only time Article 5 has ever been invoked was in response to 9/11. Danish soldiers died in equal proportion to ours in Afghanistan. History will long remember the disgraceful display of ignorance and dishonesty by the 'leader' of the American nation. It was historically pathetic and so are the people who believe in and enable this fraud.
As noted in my smartass article, the point of quoting Trump and Lutnick (and the German Chancellor for that matter) was to demonstrate the fact that the tone of this year's gabfest has changed... which, quite clearly, it has.
The tone certainly did change, the POTUS threw his little tantrum and displayed his developmentally arrested inner child in a bravura display of complete ignorance and delusion. The world is shocked by what we have devolved into, which is world class stupid. China has no wind farms? They have the world's largest. He actually believes he ended 8 wars and we defended Greenland and then stupidly gave it back to Denmark, and on and on, too many preposterous lies to even tally accurately. The whole Greenland idea is just another instance of him putting his name on shit and trying to dominate everyone. I'll tariff you if you don't bow down to me! Is that your idea of a new world of freedom, liberty and prosperity?
Of course, Kamala too, anybody but trump, especially after Jan 6th. I also voted for Reagan, twice. He was exactly the change that was needed in 1980, Milei is far more akin to Reagan than an ignoramus like trump. Reagan was a leader, he brought Americans together and appealed to their higher natures, he also constantly acknowledged that America was a nation of immigrants and valued them instead of demonizing them. He worked for Americans, you didn't see him grifting, bragging and putting his name on everything. It took trump to get me to vote Democratic. They may suck but voting is always a matter of the lesser evil.
Maduro and Chavez are the ones most analogous to trump, lying, populist, frauds who suckered credulous fools into electing them. Of course the original populist disaster was Argentina's Juan Peron. trump has far more in common with these tinpots than he does with any US president.
I don't think you're going to be happy with the new global order of idiocy and lies that you brought about with your vote for trump. Unfortunately we will all get what's coming to us thanks to the low info voters. What do you think it is that gold is telling us?
Lol, I am up $128K just this week in PMs and miners. Over 700K in the last 4 months, doubling our portfolios in the last year. No poverty in my future, especially living on our off grid rancho in Baja where we are now permanent residents. If you want to listen to BS from the likes of Lutnick and trump you're a fool. I remember when conservatives were against jack booted government thugs violating their constitutional rights and intervening in markets, I used to vote with them back then.
As am I. I don't listen to Idiots and I especially don't listen to Dim-Witted Pedo Files... Glad to hear You're doing well. I, a lowly Conservative, try to stay low and out of sight. Better an informed Observer than a Blatant Toady. Enjoy your Weekend, Sir and have a few Brew for the Rest of Us.
Another great tribute to your mastery of alliteration! There are many very special articles written by you of course, and every once in a while, at the height of your cynicism and biting humor, directed at the most deserved subjects, I am transported to the most enjoyable environment by your accumulation of words & phrases! The rhythm and alliteration of your prose is brilliant and hypnotic to this dirt-covered flat lander.
Entirely welcomed and gleefully observed, I think this well deserved obituary of WEF is beyond the comprehension of its participants and certainly beyond its status!
So Sorry Mr. Bowman, the W.E.F. shouldn't Rest In Peace, the WEF should R.I.H. (Rot In Hell)...
Or perhaps Rot In Pieces
Or perhaps Rust in Eternity...

LOLOL…that’s priceless! :-)

One of your best ever. Thank you so much!!!
Joel, I hate to disabuse you, but The World Economic Forum isn't going away.
It's influence will ebb and flow, but there will always be a gathering of senior officials, former and current, somewhere.
Everybody in every skill likes annual meetings.
That's unfortunately true.
I smell something bad in Trump's so called new 'Board of Peace' that he hopes will replace the UN. It smells like another money making scheme to divide the spoils from Gaza.

It would be much better to just stay out of foreign entanglements, instead of creating a new one to replace an old one.
Recalls Jefferson's sage words: “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.”
I share your views

Trump is a fool in many ways but better than Kamala. We are in for trouble.Hell is coming. God bless us all Dave.
That's Fantastic Dave...Enjoy Your Poverty!
And I too will enjoy mine . Money is not my goal , only used as a form of convenient trade.
Money is freedom, health is wealth. Fitness is better than money.
A different philosphy! But one that can be lived by.
