In this week's relatively calm news cycle, a notable shift caught my attention: the dwindling emphasis on Martin Luther King Jr. Day from traditionally vocal supporters on the Left. This holiday, which used to be a beacon of unity and progress championed especially by progressive voices, seemed to pass with minimal fanfare. The contrast to previous years is stark and indicative of a broader shift in the cultural and political landscape.
Martin Luther King Jr., once a towering figure of the Left and the civil rights movement, appears to be receding from the collective memory of the very groups he championed. His iconic speeches, advocating for equality based on the 'content of one's character' rather than skin color, seem at odds with the current race-focused narratives often promoted by diversity, equity, and inclusion advocates. This ideological shift seems to have left little room for King's vision of unity and mutual understanding.
Interestingly, it is now the conservative voices that are keeping King's legacy alive, celebrating his message and its enduring relevance in bridging America's racial divides (a gap that Obama and every Democrat after him did their best to boost rather than bridge). This change underscores a growing recognition that King's wisdom – advocating courage, unity, and understanding – remains a critical guidepost in navigating today's complex social fabric. The fading of his legacy among his once-ardent supporters on the Left, juxtaposed with its embrace by the Right, speaks volumes about the changing dynamics of political and social discourse in America.
‘Rebuilding Trust’ was the theme at this year’s gathering of the world’s uber-elites at Davos, Switzerland.
The concept of 'Rebuilding Trust', with its ostensibly noble veneer, could well be a masterclass in irony. Cloaked in the language of unity and consensus, it appears to be a strategic maneuver by the Davos elite to police the global narrative. It's almost as if 'trust' is the new code word for 'conformity to our views'. The intent, wittingly or not, seems less about bridging divides and more about muting the cacophony of dissent. Imagine a world where differing opinions are as welcome at Davos as snowballs in the Sahara. This theme, therefore, might be less about restoring faith in global leadership and more about reinforcing a monolithic viewpoint, conveniently aligned with those at the helm. In this light, 'Rebuilding Trust' could be seen as less about constructing bridges and more about erecting echo chambers.
Now if truly ‘Rebuilding Trust’ was actually the focus of discussion it would have been tremendous progress.
They could have started with a keynote panel admitting that the mistakes they made during Covid were not only monstrous and easily foreseeable, but that they actually knew that masking, lockdowns, shutting schools and peddling a barely tested experimental genetic injection was a catastrophic mistake and that the world leadership and entire public health sector’s reputations were irreparably damaged by the above.
Like I said, that would be a good start and then we could move into the climate change agitprop and slandering of fossil fuels that was a mistake as its become obvious to anyone paying attention that wind and solar are only capable of producing 2-3% of energy needs worldwide. Remove the remaining ‘fossil fuels’, and you lose 6-7 billion people to starvation and strife.
And there were plenty of other mea culpas the Extraction Class could have touched on if renewed trust was their goal such as the ill-conceived war on farmers, the attempts to eliminate free speech and install a censorship regime on the distribution of information or the explosion of wokeness and anti-semitism at the dumbed-down American universities.
See, these admissions of error would all make sense if the goal was to actually regain trust, and if these supra-national institutions and altruistic elites were actually beneficent advocates for a better world.
Not surprisingly, the thrust wasn’t to regain actual trust, which any psychologist or therapist can tell you comes from an actual place of introspection, recognition of the mistake and harms it caused, and a heartfelt apology designed to acknowledge said harms and then honest effort to remedy the wounds or make amends.
As expected, this was sinister gaslighting pointing the finger at us dumb plebs who were hoodwinked.
To summarize, their stance was, "Our decisions weren't the issue; rather, it was the misinformation and disinformation spread by regular people (as opposed to us, the experts) and the hate speech on X that led to a lack of trust in our leadership. Therefore, we need to eliminate this kind of free speech, not focus on the serious mistakes we made."
However, if your perspective on events like Davos is framed this way, you're likely overlooking the bigger picture (once more).
The people behind these decisions aren't driven by a desire to improve humanity.
These are totalitarian vampires, who live their lives by one rule and expect everyone else to submit to a suffocating regime of anti-human, anti-liberty rules.
Their primary goal is twofold, and they haven’t been shy in the past about expressing it.
Total enslavement and control of the plebeian population for an interim period until their second goal - depopulation, has time to take effect.
As I’ve written about previously, the ideal number of people on Earth is 500M according to the Davos Demons. That leaves about 7.5B of us too many, a modest 90% haircut from today’s numbers.
The reality that these people seek to exert extensive control over every facet of our lives isn't a novel concept.
What is strikingly new, however, is the sheer audacity with which they now openly discuss these intentions.
Here were the lowlights from Davos:
John Kerry tells the world that it doesn’t matter who is President of the US or leader of your country. You cannot stop the insane climate hysteria policies and climate change totalitarianism we are implementing.
German leader Ursula Von Der Leyen tells Davos her biggest concern is not climate change or war but ‘misinformation’. Here she is explaining how governments are going to unabashedly censor speech to make sure there’s no wrong think that leaks to the public. By misinformation she actually means true information that the predator caste doesn’t want you to know.
I want to state unequivocally that my grandfathers did not risk their lives and the horrors of war to fight the Nazis so that a German woman could tell me what I can or cannot say. Their sacrifices were for the preservation of freedom, including the fundamental right to speak freely, a principle I stand firmly to uphold.
John Evans getting all horned up over Chinese-style social credit scoring systems that are being worked on. Are you ready to be tagged and tracked, maggot?
WEF member JoJo Mehta claims that farming and fishing is “ecocide” and demands that it be recognized as a “serious crime.”
And this final bit was priceless. Over the past 4 years, these people relentlessly demanded under the threat of personal destruction that people wear masks, stand 6 feet apart, and get locked in their homes to having some Native woman intentionally coughing in their faces. It's absolute insanity and if you fell for the Covid nonsense and watched this, you should feel extra extra stupid. She’s coughing in their faces, but they are laughing in yours.
Video here. Shout out to Elon for the extra dig at Elizabeth Warren.
Mr. Milei Goes to Davos
On the bright side, there were at least 3 terrific moments from Davos.
The first, was Democrat and world’s most powerful banker JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon stunning the CNBC crowd when asked about Donald Trump.
Dimon responded with a rare take for a Democrat - actual truth and acknowledgement that Trump might not be the prettiest messenger, but he was right about damn near everything, from China, to the border crisis, to the economy while shedding light on the Democrats’ vast loss of direction.
Here’s how Scott Adams put it: The funniest part of the Jamie Dimon story is that a Democrat made national headlines by NOT having TDS. Literally. Because the things he said about Trump were both normal and observable. Not exactly penetrating insights. Yet we are surprised and amazed -- not by Dimon's opinion -- but by the fact a human being escaped from mental jail. Being CEO of JP Morgan is impressive, but this escape act is more so. I would have written the headline this way: "Man Somehow Impervious to Brainwashing. Scientists are studying how it happened to see if it can be reproduced." I'm genuinely impressed.
Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts went to and spoke at the WEF in Davos and absolutely destroyed their elite globalist agenda right to their faces in a mere 3 minutes.
And the highlight of course, was newly-elected Argentinian President and anti-socialist Javier Milei’s speech at the summit.
Even getting to Davos Milei set a different tone from the rest of the ‘Rules for Thee’ crowd - spending $2000 of his own money flying commercial on Lufthansa to the gathering while John Kerry and the rest of the elitist kleptocrats loaded up their 2000+ private jets to attend and lecture us little people about carbon use.
Once there, the real fireworks started.
In a speech of historic defiance, Milei took the globalists to task and decisively rebuffed every anti-human, totalitarian notion they had been explicitly promoting for the entire week.
In what is likely the best speech in history at Davos, Javier Milei praised free trade, capitalism, and economic freedom, while denouncing left-wing Bolsheviks and social justice.
"Long live freedom, damnit."
Here’s the full speech with a boost from AI translating it to English in Milei’s own voice. It’s worth the 20 minutes.
Fani Willis
As I handicapped here several months ago, the 5 legal cases and “91 Indictments!” against Trump are some of the most absurd and spurious cases ever brought and I expect them to continue to implode.
The only remaining case of any consequence remains Special Counsel Jack Smith’s crusade of made-up laws in the DC‘Election Interference’ Case. And again, the only reason that case of ridiculous made-up law and charges has any weight to it is because it is being heard in Washington DC, the heart of the Deep State Swamp by a liberal Obama appointed Judge.
This week’s implosion was the revelation that Fulton County DA Fani Willis might have played fast and loose with taxpayer dollars, funneling a substantial sum to her chief investigator, who also happens to be her romantic partner. This Romeo, who was paid twice as much as the other prosecutors despite having no prosecutorial experience, splurged on gifts and getaways for Willis using public funds.
Paying your unqualified lover 7 figures who then funnels that money back to you seems like an easy case of political fraud (Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was sentenced to 14 years for far less) and Fani now faces a laundry list of potential legal woes ranging from honest services fraud and public oath violations to bribery and racketeering. Irony abounds, as Willis, known for her zealous pursuit of Trump, might now face a similar legal quagmire.
The saga grabbed headlines, with even the New York Times diving in—after all, a mix of romance, power, and money is too juicy for the press to ignore, even if it sidelines their usual Trump critiques.
The plot thickened when defendants scrutinized her office's expenses, uncovering evidence of her boyfriend's clandestine liaisons with the January 6 Committee and the Biden White House, raising questions about their role puppeteering the Trump case.
This labyrinth of alleged corruption and political machinations could invalidate the entire Georgia case and potentially unravel broader legal actions against Trump. Willis herself faces the prospect of disbarment and possibly jail time.
Now, it's up to Congress to unravel this knot of alleged collusion and corruption, since Georgia Republicans Kemp, Carr and Raffensperger seem too corrupt or compromised to do their jobs. Willis' story may be just a small chapter in a broader narrative of legal warfare against Biden's chief political rival, but it looks and smells bad enough that it should be the end of Fani’s career.
Pipe Bombs and Jan 6
One key missing ingredient from the Jan 6 narrative has been the memory-holing of the Pipe Bomber and the bombs planted at DNC and RNC headquarters on Jan 5 & 6.
Now, journalists Darren Beattie and Michael Shellenberg have explosive evidence that the pipe bombs were part of an elaborate hoax, and that the FBI/Secret Service likely knew about it.
Here’s Shellenberger’s summary.
And here is Darren Beattie’s twitter thread with videos. Notice how despite being a visible pipe bomb (would a real bomber leave an exposed pipe bomb in plain view or would he put it in a backpack or some other bit of camouflage that wouldn’t be instantly seen?)
In the videos below, note the Secret Service and Capitol Police’s nonchalant reaction to being told there is a pipe bomb nearby where Kamala is visiting. Not even a hint of urgency or alarm. Full article with videos in the link below 👇

Finally, here’s Tucker interviewing Beattie in a quick 14 min clip if you prefer a different medium.
As we’ve noted time and time again here, every bit of new evidence from January 6 and the new bombing footage and interviews continues to reinforce the thesis that January 6th was the largest false flag operation in American history in an effort to take attention away from an obvious stollen election and instead focus media attention on the already planned insurrection narrative.
Sports Illustrated
Once the be all end all of sports reporting, the former illustrious magazine is calling it quits after 70 years as the preeminent sports publication. On Friday, they laid off all their staff and announced they were looking for strategic options.
It’s another glorious endorsement of the “Go Woke Go Broke” trend that we’ve seen in recent months. Corporations have been shoving the leftist nonsense down the throats of Americans who just want to shop for clothes, watch the the NFL, drink beer and look at dimes in swimsuits without being lectured and scolded by leftist loons peddling ‘chicks have dicks’ and ‘men can get pregnant’ nonsense.
If there was any print magazine that should have been able to survive the online trend, it was Sports Illustrated. Their swimsuit issue was perhaps the most iconic piece of annual publishing in the magazine world, with that issue alone generating over 10% of their annual revenue.
Hot women in bathing suits…how do you F that up? Well, the leftist loons managed to find way.
A couple of years ago they put an obese woman on the cover - ‘the new beauty’ and all.
That was the beginning of the end and then then this year they went full Dylan Mulvaney with a dude who thinks she’s a girl gracing the cover, tuck and all I suppose.
That was the death knell, and deservedly so.
Had ESPN not been smart enough to tie up with ABC, they would likely go the same route, as the network can barely make it thru one segment without mentioning race, gender or some other tangential subject that has nothing to actually do with the game being played or men on the field.
Good riddance to both of them.
The ESG Exodus Continues
The once-trickling exodus of funds from the E.S.G. (Environmental, Social, and Governance) universe has turned into a deluge, as investors, increasingly disillusioned, turn their backs on a sector now mired in allegations of greenwashing, pushback from politically conservative quarters, and boardroom brouhahas.
E.S.G., once the darling of corporate virtue signaling for addressing various concerns, has now found itself at the center of a political tug-of-war. In a telling twist, the Davos set has even erased the term from the World Economic Forum’s official lexicon, a move akin to banishing a once-favored courtier from the royal presence.
Morningstar reports that a hefty $5 billion was yanked from these 'sustainable' investment havens last quarter, a flight of capital that occurred even as the wider market toasted to a rally at 2023's curtain call.
The year witnessed a staggering $13 billion fleeing the E.S.G. nest, leading Alyssa Stankiewicz of Morningstar to dub it the "worst calendar year on record" for the once-celebrated funds. It seems that what was once a green investment pasture has now turned into a somewhat less verdant landscape.
