The World Economic Forum on a Course of Self-Destruction

Peter Koenig

Word has it, the 2026 World Economic Forum (WEF) Davos event went down as the worst ever in WEF’s history. Maybe it has to do with Trump’s showing up and everybody, including the Swiss Government, falling on their knees to please the emperor without clothes; and / or because Larry Fink, the BlackRock Chair, now literally owns the WEF and calls the shots on everything. Everyone below him, even the co-chairs, are YES-people.

What is playing out ever clearer, is a digital-financial dictatorship, largely run by robotized humanoids. As long as the money flows – and flowing it does, better believe it – everything is allowed.

President Trump was literally uprooting Davos, the Swiss Government, and foremost the Swiss air traffic – see below.

He also uprooted the stock market, not by accident. When Trump first talked about his “sanctioning” the eight (8) EU countries and NATO partners that opposed his invasion of Greenland, the stock market slumped by record rates: The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 870 points (approx. 1.8%-1.9%), while the S&P 500 fell 2.1% and the Nasdaq dropped 2.4%.

When shortly after his WEF speech, Trump reversed his decision on the 10% tariff for EU opposition, the stock market rebounded https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/20/stock-market-today-live-updates.html. Guess who are the main winners and losers of this algorithmically-driven game? – Right, the ultra-rich, like the Elon Musks of this world. The common people as usual are the losers.   On freedom of speech of the so-called democracy – which was and is a scam, has never existed, not even in the Greece of 2,300 years ago, Delphi was a farce perpetuated to this day, as the Greek know very well – so, on freedom of speech, for example, Trump tried to block California’s Governor Gavin Newsom, from attending Davos.

Mr. Newsom came anyway – see this.

Everything, including WEF’s treatment of staff was horrible, although up-front the Davos-organizing staff were praised for a good job. In reality, they were treated by WEF “superiors” like slaves, with insults, and disrespect. And that after the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and Financial Times (FT) had already investigated the WEF in 2024 and 2025 for suspected “irregularities” – concerning especially Klaus Schwab, and for sexual harassment of female employees, regarding Schwab and WEF management.

An investigation by lawyers hired by the very WEF, vindicated Schwab and the WEF in 2025 from any wrongdoing, as could be expected. So, the WEF management starts on a new slate, so to speak. But the old dirt shines through the new slate, and becomes even worse, as Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, by far the largest financier of the WEF, has become one of WEF’s co-chairs, and now effectively owns the WEF.

Blackrock and Vanguard, the two intimately connected and legally interchangeable financial behemoths manage worldwide corporate assets valued between US$ 25 and US$ 35 trillion. They basically run and decide over every vital sector in the world, including food, energy, banking, production, military and services industries  – you name it – with a majority ownership.

Speaking at the WEF, Larry Fink, sounded like a polite financial autocrat, clearly pointing the way to an all-digitized monetary system, controlled by electronic IDs, insinuating to be monitored by BlackRock-Vanguard (although never mentioning Vanguard by name). In other words, Larry Fink and his ilk pretend to control your money, the way you spend it – or not – and whether you behave in style with the elite oligarchs’ narrative to continue being able to use your own earned money, or have it blocked for misbehavior.

We are in the hands of psychopaths, who are covering a worldwide audience with their annual Davos event, another nail in WEF’s coffin.

To complement Larry Fink’s finance-digital ruling, Elon Musk made a surprise appearance in Davos on 22 January, engaging in a 30-min. conversation with Larry Fink. His remarks focused on technology’s role in securing humanity’s future through an absurdly promised abundance, multi-planetary expansion, and cautious AI advancement.

The tech oligarch pointed to their companies’ shared goal: maximizing civilization’s probability of a great future by extending consciousness beyond Earth, adding that his SpaceX’s 9,000 satellites confirm that there is no evidence of aliens “out there”, that life is indeed a “rare tiny candle” in a vast darkness.

Elon’s sci-fi mind aspired to die on Mars “just not on impact,” [hahaha]; and aging reversal seems solvable via a body-wide “clock”. Whatever that means. AI will probe existence’s mysteries.

In brief, he painted the oligarch’s usual rosy “bla-bla-picture” that any thinking individual knows, means exactly the contrary. See this .

Back to the 2026 WEF and Trump in Davos – what no mainstream will report: The airport of Zurich was blocked on Wednesday morning with numerous Trump planes, several cargos – C-130’s and the sort — for Trump’s limousines convoy and private helicopters flown in from Washington.

The so called “plane spotters” at 6 AM on 21 January, were crushing barricades at Zurich airport to see Trump arrive, whenever he arrived, later than he should have, due to a last-minute change of airplane.

Several planes carrying heads of state to go to Davos, i.e., from Greece and Cyprus, – could not land at Zurich airport. There was no more space, since in addition of the Trump extra planes, there were an unprecedented about 850 private jets also parked at the airport, from WEF attendees. Compare this with 65 for the COP29 (November 2024) Summit at Baku, Azerbeijan.

The politicians who could not land – and many others, of course, had to cancel their attendance in Davos. – For sure, no big loss.

The WEF stampede. Some of the 3000 attendees in Davos, heads of State, highly educated (or one would think) corporate CEO’s, managing trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of people, caused literally a stampede to enter the room where Trump was blabbering for over 70 minutes – when normally heads of states are allocated 10 to 20-minute slots.

These high-level WEF attendees were running – charging – into and over the organizing staff, crushing them against the walls, hurting one lady so badly, she had to leave….. so, they could enter the special conference room where Trump was to speak. That demonstrates a conscience level of high-flying WEF attendee-billionaires comparable to football fans.

Swiss military, two rows of them, were placed inside the room, instead of outside, to help prevent a stampede. Stupidity increasingly worldwide knows no frontiers.

The entire WEF meetings had to be reorganized and last-minute restructured for Trump, and of course BlackRock calls the shots on everything. As Trump and BlackRock’s Larry Fink indicated, though not in words, in their WEF speeches – we are racing towards the goals of the 2030 Agenda which never left us.

This 2030 agenda, also called the Great Reset, prepared for over 100 years – represents a complete destruction of civilization’s orders and laws, towards societal chaos and ever-changing values – from where they, the monsters behind the WEF, expect – with accent on “expect” – the emergence of a “New World Order”, under a “One World Government”.

This One World Order may be based on “multiple pillars” [they call it multi-polar to once again deceive the public at large], pillars, represented by world powers other than the United States, like Russia and China.

This explains why and how Trump could invade Venezuela on January 3, 2026, and kidnap President Maduro, killing over 100 people, without any material interference of Russia and China, at the time also present with their respective navies in the Caribbean. They were informed in advance. Their protests came in words, no actions. Words are blowing in the wind.

These secondary thoughts and ideas are expressed in hidden messages by the WEF and its elite attendees, because they represent a worldwide Cult which is currently in control of our civilization. And you may guess, who is behind this Cult.

According to Cult wisdom – call it Cult science – any actions or plans MUST be announced in one form or another to the populace concerned, so that it will be successful. Hence the many “predictive” monster and horror movies produced by Hollywood. Just look at the current list of the “10 best movies” as the 2026 Oscar nominees. See this .

They all keep humanity on low vibrations which is a MUST for them manipulating human minds, preventing them from ascending to a higher level of consciousness. As an example, look at horror-vampire flick, “Sinners” (https://screenhub.blog/2025/04/23/sinners-spoiler-free-review-screenhub-entertainment/ ) which was literally nominated for every category of Oscars. The Coordination between the WEF, those who pull the strings behind it, and all the 2030 Agenda agents and actors used to control humanity, among them Hollywood, is perfect.

But there comes the point where the apparently limitless exuberance of sugar-charged energy brains, à la “We can do what we want, nobody stops us” – like Trump’s – will backfire. So, in the end, this horrifying organization, called WEF, is self-destructing. It MUST be. The faster the better.

At the same time, think THE NOW gives humanity a chance for a new start outside of the slavehood of our digital monetary system and digital control-gulag.

May there be soon an end to our dystopian Cult-world. Instead, let us open our hearts and souls for Love and Light to emerge on our Blue Planet’s sentinel beings.
