DAVID BLACKMON: IMF Head Tells The Little People To Pipe Down And Get Behind Carbon Tax

The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, held every year in Davos, Switzerland, gives all of us little people a clear preview of what the world's globalist elites are planning to do to us. I'll never forget it. for We are, but to Us — for the next 12 months and beyond.

Speakers at this event's myriad sessions are sure to aim to force us all to live smaller, less mobile, less affluent lives in the name of climate change and other global causes. He presents a series of plans to crush freedom and destroy spirits. It could be the basis for justifying the introduction of the authoritarian socialist system favored by Klaus Schwab.

The assumed theme for this year's WEF event was probably “Restoring Trust.” This at least has destroyed any trust in what those who call themselves the better globalists are doing among a section of the world's population with a functioning BS detector. Considering the reality, it shows that he has some level of self-awareness. . (Related: Faulkender and MacPherson-Smith: It's time to use the buzzsaw on Biden's beloved climate law)

But while the theme of this event suggests some understanding of this inconvenient reality, digging into the details reveals the same old authoritarian mentality that prevails unabated.

John Kerry, as usual, was rattling off about the urgent need to end the use of fossil fuels, which would avoid leaving billions of people in the developing world without access to adequate electricity. do not have. WEF president Klaus Schwab also praised participants for their loyalty to the Great Reset plan, doing his best to imitate a Bond villain.

Jake Sullivan, the US National Security Adviser, was seen speaking openly with WEF Chairman Borge Brende about the urgent need to create a “New World Order” that would destroy national sovereignty. In fact, the more these fanatics fail to achieve their goals, the more they start to double and triple think the same terrible thoughts.

Another prominent speaker promoting another terrible idea was Kristalina Georgieva, the head of the IMF. At this year's festival, Georgieva consoled attendees that the world seemed “prepared for a soft landing,” while also warning that elections were somehow economically bad. He seems to be carrying out a wide range of missions.

“This is going to be a very tough year, because fiscal policy will have to rebuild buffers and deal with the debt that has accumulated in many countries,” Georgieva said. said in an interview This will be done before you arrive at the conference. “About 80 countries have elections scheduled, and we know what happens when spending pressures occur during an election period.”

after that, at her address At the conference, she slammed what climate change fanatics call “fossil fuel subsidies.” Most subsidies are simply aggregations of the exact same business tax treatment available to all other lines of business: common accounting items such as depreciation and amortization deductions. Cost of sales. Her claim that these “subsidies” amount to $1.3 trillion worldwide is ridiculous on its face, but that didn't stop her from making it happen.

And in the next breath, she advocated for the entire world to cancel them and replace them with the most economically destructive idea currently in vogue: carbon taxes.

“Put it back to help fight climate change. Without a carbon price, we won’t be able to accelerate decarbonization quickly enough, as carbon prices are predicted to rise. By 2030. It has to be $85,” she insisted.

This is just economic sophism. Taxes levied on businesses that sell goods and services are ultimately paid by consumers. This is an unavoidable reality of life, and it's no secret. Well, obviously for everyone but the world's elites and the heads of the World Bank.

But Georgieva completely ignores the little people who complain about this. “I'm tired of people saying, 'Oh, it's so expensive, where's the money?'” she said, adding, “Let's take the money from where it hurts and spend it.” Where it helps. ”

Of course, it is the poor and lower middle class who will be hit hardest. If you think that's insensitive, you're not alone. But at least she's putting her true opinion out there for all to see, and it's very helpful for us hoi polloi to know her.
