From Schwab to Fink: The Quietest Coup in Global Governance

From Schwab to Fink

Aynaz Anni Cyrus

For half a century, Klaus Schwab was the face of the World Economic Forum. He wasn’t merely eccentric; he was the architect of an unelected empire. Schwab created Davos as the annual parliament of the global elite, where billionaires, politicians, and corporate executives dictated to nations what “the future” would look like.

Schwab’s policies and beliefs were explicit:

– He pushed the “Great Reset” after COVID, using the crisis to justify permanent controls over economies and freedoms.

– He was a transhumanist evangelist, publishing The Fourth Industrial Revolution and openly advocating merging human beings with artificial intelligence and surveillance tech.

– He promoted ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) compliance as a weapon to starve industries, nations, and companies that refused to bow to climate authoritarianism.

– He maintained affiliations with China’s Communist Party, boasting of his “Young Global Leaders” program that groomed figures like Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, Jacinda Ardern, and even Vladimir Putin decades earlier.

– And at the heart of it all, he sold the idea that private corporations should hold more power than nation-states, openly describing “stakeholder capitalism” as the model of the future.

– “We penetrate the cabinets. Yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I know that half of his cabinet are actually Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum.”

 – Klaus Schwab, 2017

And he put the WEF brand on its true vision for humanity with the infamous slogan: “You will own nothing and be happy.”

In April 2025, after 55 years, Schwab finally stepped down amid internal backlash and a formal investigation. The media framed it as the end of an era, the fall of Davos. Headlines celebrated it as if an empire had collapsed. And that is a reasonable reaction, because imagining anyone more evil than Schwab feels unimaginable. But the empire didn’t collapse. It shed its skin.

Schwab may be gone. His system remains. Corporate control over democracy, the fusion of finance and pharma, the grooming of leaders to obey Davos rather than their people. And under Larry Fink and André Hoffmann, it is more dangerous than ever.

After Schwab’s exit, two men stepped in as interim co-chairs: Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, and André Hoffmann, Vice-Chair of Roche Holding. They don’t play professor like Schwab. They don’t issue manifestos or slogans. They already own the machinery that governs your daily life.

Larry Fink is not just another executive. He controls $10 trillion in assets, more than the GDP of most nations. BlackRock holds pieces of everything: your mortgage lender, your food company, your local power grid, even your retirement account. He doesn’t need to campaign, legislate, or persuade. He can sink industries, starve governments, and socially engineer society by deciding what gets funded and what gets cut off. In his 2025 Chairman’s Letter, he made it explicit:

When the man who controls $10 trillion says capital is “co-equal” with governments, he isn’t predicting the future; he is declaring himself a sovereign. And his record shows he already rules like one. BlackRock weaponized ESG mandates to choke America’s oil, gas, and coal industries while funneling billions into Chinese coal plants. That wasn’t “climate responsibility.” That was economic warfare, weakening America while empowering Beijing. Fink openly told CEOs: “Behave the way we tell you, or lose funding.” That wasn’t a suggestion. That was a dictatorship because BlackRock is often its largest shareholder and can strangle a company overnight.

After the 2008 crash, BlackRock didn’t rebuild American neighborhoods; it bought them. Families who lost their homes found themselves renting from the very firm that profited from their misery. That’s not capitalism. That’s socialism by stealth, with Wall Street as landlord. And during COVID, the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve handed Fink control over trillions in bailout funds. No election. No accountability. In that moment, America’s financial sovereignty was outsourced to a single unelected man.

Christine Lagarde Waiting in the Wings

Behind the interim setup, another name circles: Christine Lagarde, head of the European Central Bank and former chief of the IMF. If she takes the chair, Davos would hold the trifecta, with Fink commanding finance, Hoffmann binding medicine to profit, and Lagarde digitizing money itself. That isn’t influence. That’s regime change on a global scale.

Lagarde has been orbiting Davos for over a decade, one of Klaus Schwab’s most trusted allies, and reports confirm Schwab privately discussed her succession as early as 2027, down to her relocation details in Switzerland.

Lagarde publicly brushed it off:

“I am determined to complete my term…you’re not about to see the back of me.” – Christine Lagarde, June 2025

But Lagarde’s record tells the real story. At the IMF, she imposed brutal austerity programs across Greece, Spain, and multiple developing nations. Pensions were slashed, hospitals shuttered, taxes raised, not because voters chose it, but because Lagarde demanded it in exchange for loans. Her tenure proved one thing: she views democracy as optional when “the system” requires obedience.

At the European Central Bank, she has become the loudest voice for creating a digital euro, a Central Bank Digital Currency that would allow authorities to track and control every transaction. In a leaked 2023 conversation with students, Lagarde admitted it outright:

“There will be control. You’re right. You’re completely right.” – Christine Lagarde, on Central Bank Digital Currencies

Control is not a side effect. It is the point. With a CBDC in place, governments, or Davos, under her leadership, could dictate what citizens are allowed to buy, when they are allowed to buy it, and whether they are allowed to participate in the economy at all.

If Lagarde takes the chair, Davos would no longer just lobby nations. It would outrank them. With Fink commanding global capital flows, Hoffmann binding public health to corporate profit, and Lagarde digitizing and centralizing the very money people use, the WEF would hold the trifecta: finance, medicine, and currency. That is not influence. That is regime change on a global scale.

The Quietest Coup

The West has been trained to laugh at Schwab’s theatrics and dismiss Davos as an eccentric club. But while we laughed, Klaus Schwab turned Davos into the place where corporate power was normalized as superior to national sovereignty, where ESG was born, where “stakeholder capitalism” was sold to the world, and where leaders were groomed to carry out an unelected agenda in their own nations. Schwab did plenty of damage. He showed us the plan.

But now Davos has moved past selling. Under Fink, Hoffmann, and soon Lagarde, it doesn’t need to persuade anyone. The machine enforces outcomes directly, through capital markets, through health mandates, and through digital money.

This is a coup against governments themselves, a quiet overthrow of democratic authority by unelected financiers and pharmaceutical dynasties. History has seen this before: the East India Company ruled nations not by election, but by monopoly. Mussolini called it “corporatism,” the fusion of state and corporate power into one. Davos has simply globalized the model.

So the question for every American is simple: if Davos already dictates what you can power, what you can own, what you must inject, and soon what kind of money you are allowed to spend, what part of your life isn’t already under its control?

And if unelected asset managers, pharma heirs, and central bankers can quietly outrank elected governments, then what exactly is left of democracy?

Fellow Patriots, the only reason they get away with this is because people stay silent. Don’t. Share this truth, support this fight, and refuse to live as a subject in a system you never voted for.

This is the quietest coup in global governance. Schwab tried to convince you. Larry Fink doesn’t need to. He already owns the system.
