Elon Musk is rare among the mega-rich in that he has multitudes of superfans who love every move he makes. And the Musk aficionados provided the loudest cheers when the Tesla CEO reported he would be purchasing Twitter, and possibly bringing back the principle of free speech to social media. But those cheers were no doubt misguided as Musk is unquestionably a tool of the establishment and not that rare sort of billionaire looking to upend the existing system controlled by Wall Street, military contractors, Big Pharma and other powerful interests.

AARON GOODThe paradox of deprivation alongside latent or even excessive productive capacity speaks to the power of the extant regime. For example, we rarely hear it publicly stated that our civilization does not even consider solving easily solvable socioeconomic problems—problems that could have been solved with technology that existed by the mid-twentieth century. Instead, we are conditioned to be resigned to dystopian facts like the existence of a large homeless population alongside an even larger number of vacant homes.

Why Germany Needs a Revolution, and What Type
15 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—In order for the German people to become authentically free, they need to replace their existing westward, Atlanticist, pro-U.S.-regime, orientation, by a far more economically viable eastward, Russian, Chinese, and authentically EurAsian one, which will mean that Germany will no longer participate in imperialism by ANY nation, but will instead quit NATO and have commerce with all nations that is NOT being restricted by anything like the imperialism America’s billionaires have been imposing upon Germans ever since 1945 and especially since 1991.

Switzerland’s Secretive Banking System and the WEF’s “Great Reset”: First in “You’ll Own Nothing and You’ll be Happy”?
26 minutes readPETER KOENIG—Switzerland is home to a number of highly dubious institutions and organizations. Take the World Economic Forum (WEF) – the unelected NGO, with its unelected master, Klaus Schwab, based in Cologny, a suburb of Geneva. This unelected but dirty-rich body of “luminaries”, with tax-free status, pretends to decide over our future, the future of the world, and literally, the future of mankind. Once a year, mostly in the second half of January, the WEF unites some 2000 to 3000 oligarchs and wannabe luminaries in Davos, Switzerland, to ruminate (often in secret chambers off the madding crowd) on how to make the world a better place. No, not for us the people, but for themselves, the elite.

PEPE ESCOBAR—As Bilderberg follows Chatham House Rules, mere mortals won’t have a clue of what they actually “proposed” or approved, and none of the participants will be allowed to talk about it with anyone else. One of my top New York sources, with direct access to most of the Masters of the Universe, loves to quip that Davos and Bilderberg are just for the messenger boys: the guys who really run the show don’t even bother to show up, ensconced in their uber-private meetings in uber-private clubs, where the real decisions are made.
