WEF: Mankind ‘On Way To New World Order’

Stefan J. Bos

The president of the influential World Economic Forum (WEF) says, “We are on the way to a new world order” at a time when power is shifting away from the United States as China’s military and economy grows.

And with Russia waging war in Ukraine and Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza after the group massacred 1,200 people in the Jewish nation, the shape of an international system is unclear.

WEF President Børge Brende said in comments monitored by Worthy News on Thursday that the “biggest question we’re faced with is whether we’ve left the post-war order and entered a new multipolar world order but without traffic rules and multilateralism.”

Brende spoke about the world order at the WEF’s annual gathering for the rich and famous, ranging from world leaders to powerful CEOs, in the mountainous town of Davos in Switzerland.

In a discussion with U.S. President Joe Biden’s White House Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, he stressed that the post-World War II international order “seems to be not that order anymore. We are on the way to a new order, so we are between orders.”

WEF founder Klaus Schwab echoed Brende’s concerns, saying governments and “decision-makers” must “break the cycle” of nationalism and individualism to achieve its Great Reset objectives.

His organization has clarified that the Great Reset includes “sustainable development,” the term used for balancing human activities with the perceived natural requirements of the Earth.

Schwab tried to make his case for global governance. “We have to rebuild trust in our future by moving beyond crisis management, looking at the root causes of the present problems, and building together a more promising future,” he said. “We risk to be much more egocentereed and on a national and individual level.”

‘CLIMATE CRISIS’

The WEF’s worries about what it views as a human-caused “climate crisis” is also a vital issue at the talks this week at Davos, where many arrive by planes, including private jets, despite their emissions.

U.S. President Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, responded fiery after he was confronted Tuesday by a reporter in Switzerland who asked about his carbon footprint.

“What’s the carbon footprint of these events every single year that you come here? Do you think it’s worth it — peasants paying for your crimes?” Avi Yemini, an Australian reporter with independent outlet Rebel News, asked Kerry who was walking on a street in Davos.

“Nobody ever suggested that. Don’t make up stupid questions,” he said when asked a follow-up question about why his carbon footprint didn’t matter. Kerry added that he has done a “huge amount” to combat climate change. Security personnel escorting Kerry between WEF events ultimately blocked Yemini from asking further questions.

The confrontation comes days after reports surfaced that Kerry would step down from his role as special presidential envoy for climate at the State Department. On Tuesday, he confirmed the reports but said he would merely shift his efforts, not retire.
