In his weekly monologue today, Neil Oliver discusses the strutting peacocks at Davos who think they are masters of the universe controlling the outcomes of the sheeple masses beneath them. However, as Oliver also notes, only the brainless frogs will sit in the pot – the rest of us, but far the majority, have no time for these insufferable schemes and dictates.
The pretense of the Potemkin village can only be maintained as long as good, moral and virtuous people extend the graciousness of patience and play along with the pretending. Whether the Davos crowd want to admit it or not, the ranks of the grace-filled are diminishing, and the ranks of the vulgarian hoard are swelling. We are all becoming increasingly hardened, deliberate and refusing to pretend. The control mechanisms are starting to falter, and the messaging hits deaf ears. WATCH:
[Transcript] – The usual suspects have been in Davos again, at the World Economic Forum overseen by Klaus Schwab – the few hundred of the most unimaginably rich gathered in one place to fantasise together about what the several billions of us ought to be forced to do in order to make those billionaires’ lives better.
Those poor billionaires – for whom everything on Earth might finally be perfect, if only someone would invent the vacuum cleaner big enough to suck every last one of us peasants, inconsequential specks of dust that we are, into outer space once and for all.
While listening to whichever one on stage is pontificating about this or that technological advance, or about how better to structure civilization itself, I find it best to imagine they have the high pitched, excitable voices of children – like in those TV adverts for chewy, jelly sweeties.
When I do that, I am reassured by their evident ridiculousness, their patent lack of a grasp on the reality of what this human species of ours is all about.
Some of their ilk talk blithely about the millions, billions of “useless eaters” who might best be controlled and placated by drugs and video games.
I hear it announced that it is already time to “hack” the human animal and implant technologies to make us better at being alive in the world. Some of them are apportioning to themselves nothing less than the power of God.
It is precisely that genetic failing of theirs, demonstrably present in one billionaire or technocrat authoritarian after another, that will always be their undoing in the end. That glitch, that Achilles Heel common to all of them, is their failure to note the still limitless potential of the unadulterated Human Being Mark I. They think they have us mapped – tracked and traced already – but they don’t.
There’s another thing they collectively overlook – or deny, at least to themselves – while making their plans and cooking up their little magic potions.
And it is fear – their own fear. Their all but overwhelming fear of all of us. Whether or not they’re aware of it, they are motivated, those few hundred Richey Richests, by fear of the billions of us. They look out at us, down on us, from their castle walls, and our presence – in all our endless, untidy, unpredictable variety – and they are afraid. They don’t really understand us, they don’t really get us, and it’s that which has made them fearful.
People always fear what they don’t understand. When you get right down to it, they would probably rather we just weren’t here. But we are here. We are here and every last one of us, white, black or brown, tall or short, good at maths or good at growing plants, or good at putting smiles on the faces of those around us, or whichever small fragment of the miraculous each of us has within us – every last one of us has the same unalienable right to a place on this planet as any one of them. Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates – whoever – has no more right to be here, to live the best life available here, than you or me.
You may have heard or read by now about the slowly boiled frog. It’s that notion that you can put a frog in a pot of cold water and turn on the heat beneath. Poor frog doesn’t know what’s happening and so, according to the story, is slowly and unknowingly cooked to death. We are invited to think that we are like that frog, that we are helpless to identify the danger we are in, far less to extricate ourselves from our plight. Here’s the thing: it’s not true.
Back in the 19th century a scientist of sorts removed a frog’s brain and found it would, indeed, remain in the steadily heating water until dead. But much more recently, in the 20th century, biologists tried the experiment with healthy, complete frogs – and found that every single one of them leapt out long before it was in any real danger. Sometimes, the frog wouldn’t stay in the pot even when there was no heat under it at all.
Clearly the lesson there is that only brainless frogs get boiled alive.
I would offer here a helpful analogy: we placed ourselves in a pot called the social contract. This is a way of describing the relationship we proles have with the State. Put simply, under the terms of the social contract, we agreed to behave and do our bit, and in return the State kept us safe from crime and undue suffering and protected our rights and freedoms. That was the deal.
A while ago, though – even before the adventures of Covid-19 – the State turned the heat on under the pot. It takes a while – and each one of us frogs becomes aware of the change at a different moment – but sooner or later one frog after another realises the water has become unpleasantly warm … and jumps out. I feel this is what is happening now – that’s what’s been happening for years. More and more healthy frogs, with brains intact, are getting out of the pot, turning their backs on the social contract.
For those who thought they could cook us, without us knowing, this is a frightening time. The billionaires, technocrats and autocrats can sit together in Davos and squeak excitedly to one another all they want. But they’re in another pot – a pot of their own elitism – and the heat under theirs is rising too.
I am wired to look back in time in search of answers to problems. Given the assumption that there’s noting new under the sun – that a version of whatever is happening now has likely happened in the past – I look to see how things played out.
Nearly 2,000 years ago the Caledonians of the north faced off against a Roman army led by a Roman Governor called Agricola. Among much else, the Roman Empire wantedsubmission from those people they deemed lesser, inferior.
According to Agricola’s son in law, Tacitus, the Caledonians were led by one they called Calgacus, which means the swordsman, who rallied his forces with these words, or words like them:
“To all of us slavery is a thing unknown; there are no lands beyond us, and even the sea is not safe, menaced as we are … And thus in war and battle, in which the brave find glory, even the coward will find safety … unpolluted by the contagion of slavery … the furthest limits of Britain are thrown open, and the unknown always passes for the marvellous. But there are no tribes beyond us, nothing indeed but waves and rocks, and yet more terrible Romans, from whose oppression escape is vainly sought by obedience and submission.
“Robbers of the world, having by their universal plunder exhausted the land, they rifle the deep. If the enemy be rich, they are rapacious; if he be poor, they lust for dominion; neither the east nor the west has been able to satisfy them. Alone among men they covet with equal eagerness poverty and riches … they create a devastation and call it peace.”
I read about those Romans and see the model for every autocratic empire there ever was, and that ever shall be – from whose oppression escape is vainly sought by obedience and submission. The Romans were the victors of the battle in question, but they never did win either the submission or the obedience of those Caledonians. The Roman Empire declined and fell, of course – as every empire must. Empires used to last for centuries. The most recent last for just years. They fall, the world kings, faster and faster every time.
The strutting peacocks of Davos, the WEF, the United Nations and the World Health Organisation are no Romans. But they want our obedience and submission and have endeavoured to obtain as much by stealth. They thought we wouldn’t see them, wouldn’t see what they were doing, that we wouldn’t feel it, but we did and we do.
They sought to exploit our good nature. Give the devil his due – the social contract was good while it lasted. We had peace a lot of the time, rule of law, personal freedom and protected rights that passed from generation to generation.
That was then, though, and this is now. Now a handful of frightened billionaires and their enablers seek to make the pot a prison. By the manipulation of fear and the application of propaganda, they want us to be and to remain forever as frightened as they are.
They tell those of us who’ve noticed that we are being silly, that nothing of the sort is happening. This is gaslighting – and that is the gas that’s already lit under the pot. But look at what they’ve done. Having slipped and shouldered their way further and further into our lives, every aspect of our lives, they’ve only made a mess of everything. For all their wealth and their so-called wisdom we’re all about to get poorer, colder and hungrier. Already millions have had their health – physical mental or both – hopelessly compromised. It is increasingly hard not to see this as having been the plan all along. After all, surely no one in authority is stupid enough to have caused all this harm by accident.
As far as I am concerned, the social contract has been broken – not by we the many law-abiding, tax-paying majority, but by the few of the State.
Of course, an analogy only goes so far. We are not frogs. We are human beings. This is our country, our world. In the moment we decide collectively that we have nothing to fear from those who would take advantage of our good nature … in that moment the fear is gone. And somewhere in their hearts, and somewhere in their heads, the billionaires in Davos must know it too. (LINK)
The elites in the WEF as eloquently stated, think of us as vermin. If only we didn’t consume so much. If only we didn’t pollute so much, the planet would be so much nicer! They want us dead and the mask is coming off. Mr. Oliver is 100% correct and it does my heart good to hear him say it, I know I’m not the only one who sees it. The power of evil is a real thing, satan rules our world and these “people” are his followers. Nothing is an accident; food shortages, racial division, school shootings… Trust me they are responsible. Russia, Ukraine and the open border, as they ratchet up the pressure, they create excuses to declare martial law and seize your means of defending yourself (from them). Our country and way of life is doomed, the petro dollar will be destroyed and the people will suffer. God help us all as the greater depression and war approaches. Thank you Sundance for being a beacon of light so we know we are not alone in the darkness.
well said. sundance has done us a service.
Was Sundance made for this moment? I believe he was.
Sundance is the Thomas Paine of our time.
SD is way optimistic compared to Paine.
Good, look what happened to Thomas Paine in the end…
With Rush gone, someone had to do it.
We are done and we will NEVER go back..never!
A short story for you, Joaquin.
“…and then the people said, ” NO!!”
The End.
Thanks I never heard of Neil Oliver until you posted his videos. This one was, for me, particularly, inspiring.
Russell Brand uses his Youtube videos and Under The Skin Podcasts to frequently host Neil Oliver.
Neil Oliver is an historian and has several series out there.
Well reasoned and respecting those who do the work. No time for the free-riding self-appointed elite.
i listened to some of the bull coming out of that meeting. one sentence i read that schwab said in the past sums the whole cluster up. you will own nothing . and you will be happy. pray that mccormick doesn’t win pa. his wife is a part of those that run WEF. the congress has been infiltrated by them.
Let’s start with Louse Slob, that old goblin, take all that he has, see if he’s happy.
Then we’ll hear the screamings of that old stuck pig around the world.
These people are liars, subversives, and killers; malignant narcissists imbued with the delusion that they’re fit to run the world.
Well said, paul vincent! I believe that hell on earth for them, would be to take everything from them except their lives and make them live as “common” people. I don’t believe their would survive. I believe that without their power and wealth, they would commit suicide – because they cannot ever and have not ever, made their wealth themselves. They’ve always taken from everyone else.
They tried very hard to get him elected. They gave us a divider in that Kathy Barnette. Almost 2 weeks after the vote and we still don’t know the winner. Crock of BS!
WEF is made up of purile village idiots and nutters, arrogantly posing as smart and wise. Those populating the WEF imagine they are the ‘Smart Kids’, but are now exposed by their abject Ukraine Project failure only as incompetent grifters, crooks, thugs, and trained propagandists, interested in nothing but debauchery, money, power, but even more than that they want the rest of us to be tricked into believing they are unimpeachable masters of the rest of us.
Rubbish.
“incompetent grifters” two words that define them 100% . Those morons advantage over us is one, just one: lack of moral scruples of any kind.

Here, here. Enthusiastic clapping. Quite beautiful, poetic, rousing, enlightening and true. You are a light.
“Good at maths…”
Hilarious
I owe no fealty to these WEF clowns.
Someone should start picking them off, strategically.
If 3 or 4 of those private planes took off from Davos but didn’t land, they would start thinking twice about trying to enslave us.
Interesting that they have their own military/police with wef badges sanctioned by the Swiss government.
If there were a League of Shadows, it would be their duty to pursue justice directly with each of the vile leaders within this cabal. They believe they are untouchable, and they nearly are. But no one is invincible.
History teaches that freedom is rarely achieved. America was likely the very best vision achievable by an amazing group of founders. Sadly they knew it was a nearly impossible task to maintain.
And here we are…being overrun by hordes of evil from both parties, doing the bidding of their masters. What can stop them? Many say return Trump to the Presidency. Even if it happened, his support from lawmakers would be weaker than ever.
The globalist cabal is pushing now, right now, for the final play, their end game. There is very little pretending by anyone, since they are fully launched. Turtle colludes openly with the enemy…no longer posturing even as a RINO.
The elite and their henchmen don’t believe sh*t stinks…because they feel emboldened and invincible. Time will tell, but the window is rapidly closing to change their course.
“Many say return Trump to the Presidency. Even if it happened, his support from lawmakers would be weaker than ever.”
I disagree.
PDJT is actively creating and selecting his team to go to Washington DC with him. He is creating his army, his force to fight the Deep State and the Rinos who are left there until their term is up.
You really should not underestimate PDJT; he is known as a great strategist.
Yes, I know he is NOT perfect. Only God Fills that Role and so many liberal morons forget that, as they attempt to play God everyday.
Check is in the mail!
They stole the election from him once while he was in power. Now you think he stands a chance of returning while not in power?
Or do you forget that stealing elections was illegal in 2020? Now that the corrupt hold the power, stealing elections will be as law, either codified or understood.
Trump has the hearts and minds of the nation and that’s why things will get so, so much worse before they get better. Because your average American today holds onto a hope passed. And that is the definition of insanity. Delusion, even if in hope for better things, never served anyone in the creation of a real and better reality.
McTurtle told him who would pass muster in PDJT’s first term. It won’t work the second time if there is another term. If Trump gets another term, I think you’ll see a hellava lot more retirements in Congress! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving crowd!
You believe we can survive until January 2025 and a second Trump presidency? I have my doubts.
This one was one of my favorites so far. Entertaining, well written, and piercingly on point about these evil creatures. I found it inspiring, also. After all the distressing news of the past few days, this and PDJT’s NRA speech gave me some renewed strength and courage. Thank you for sharing.
They are, as is BillGeeks, imbecile Aspergerish sociopaths and psychopaths who hate themselves and project it onto us.
Their actions and statements make perfect sense once one accepts that they want us dead. Period. Their flowery rhetoric re uplifiting all humanity, equity, diversity, bee bee, bah bah, is just sucker bait to lure the naive.
These dandruff-covered, halitosis ridden mean, queer, old oddballs wouldn’t know what a hammer is, let alone what to do with it, yet they profess to know what’s best for us? They’ve spent decades in symposiums, wafting their madman dream flatulence of running the world at one another.
They’re idiots, many of whom are incapable of tying their own shoes.
Ian Fleming, a scion of a wealthy London banking family and second in command of Admiralty Intelligence during World War II, warned us of them, saying their goal, these modern day Drs. No, Goldfingers, and Blofelds ‘is to pull the greatest crime in history.’
Fleming’s hero, James Bond, in the first film, Doctor No, well said it of these strange looking, screechy-voiced goblins:
“World domination. The same old dream. Our asylums are filled with men who think they’re Napoleon, or God.”
When Sean Connery said that line, sixty years ago, state hospitals and other asylums were open and filled. Then, the Left started lobbying to close them. These overrated goofballs are the result of closing them.
So true!
When the elitists decided to close ALL hospitals or havens of rest and therapy for those of us who are mentally ill; that was a sign of what our future was to be in The Globalists (rulers, elitists) great scheme of things to come to WE, The deplorable peasants.
Similarly when the elitists decided to rob the tobacco industry and confirm absolutely that all smoking kills all people and they will pay, pay, pay, dearly! However, simultaneously, the elitists were proclaiming POT was great, Cocaine..not so bad and let’s make drugs legal!!!
Heterosexuality is abnormal and bad. Homosexuality is good and normal. Babies can be created in a lab. Because mankind has just transitioned to God-like beings, therefore if a heterosexual wants to live a life of promiscuity and becomes pregnant, abort that sack of nothingness, thus sayeth the transitioned God-like beings.
If a person born with xy chromosomes decides that he is not a male, he can defy God and science can transform him into a woman, xx chromosomes; with HE/SHE/THEY/IT?//////being transformed, just like MAGIC! Or would that be God-Like?
I agree with Neil Oliver; these in-bred elitists are finally going through their own long, slow boil to oblivion, at least for my generation…the younger generations better pay attention.
“I read about those Romans and see the model for every autocratic empire there ever was, and that ever shall be – from whose oppression escape is vainly sought by obedience and submission.”
Ironically, this reminds me of the democraps who are so wrapped up in appeasing their enemies, such as common criminals and dictators abroad. But they pat themselves on the back and congratulate themselves on how “caring” they are to do so.
Are they engaging in some kind of Freudian coping mechanism?
The again, maybe I’m reading too much into it.
The striking thing about the Davos crowd is that they lack any regard for personal liberty and freedom, morality, ethics, and any sense of right and wrong.
They only care about money, power, and exerting their will upon the masses.
It’s up to us in the masses to defy and resist the Davos crowd as much as possible.
I think the people of Switzerland need to give them the heave-ho . . . send them off to the PRC, they already have an office there . . . the “Davos crowd” is actually injurious to the basis of what made Switzerland great.
Yep – the irony of George Soros talking about “open societies” as his ilk rush to close ours down – remarkable.
I have been thinking for a long time that, WEF members are best served broiled with a side of fries. Now I’m inclined to say it. Thanks so much Sundance, for that lovely picture of the lioness at the end of this post.
Isn’t it time we expose the WEF traitors purportedly on the side of MAGA?
From the Young Global Leader class of 2015, you will find the names Ivanka Trump and Tom Cotton.
Which, by itself does not mean they are traitors and does not mean they are not MAGA. It only means they have seen the other side. You need much more before you can demonize them.
The time has come to show our teeth, to teach (them) one of the lesser known definitions of the verb “worry”.
When I think of the type of power and possessions they weild, I laugh, knowing it all relies on common belief, and belief is little more than “sand without lime”.
If you do not believe, if you do not comply, everything they have created, all that they hold, ceases to exist in a blink of an eye.
The mighty (they) are little more than fleshy bags of fluids, no greater or different than any other living-ism.
If you should ever come across one of these so called elites, see them for what they are, flesh, and know that you have more power between your jaws than all the worthless wealth of this world combined.
If you have any doubt as to what I have said, try to persuade a hungry beast with money, gold, property, positions or political power. Test what value those objects really hold (in the real world, the world beyond belief). In the jungle of life, all that they have accumulated will be worth nothing, not for one second, when it comes to negotiating with the hungry beasts…
This should stand as the seminal speech that launches our cancellation of the contract. And I would offer this as an opening act: “Why do we continue to pay taxes”?
And so, why is it year after year there is no comprehensive record of those attending the Davos cabal planning sessions?
You can’t battle a faceless/nameless acronym.
The GPS coordinates of their gathering place, regardless of the list of attendees, have been known for years. The fact that there has never been a tactical strike tells me the governments of every nation (save perhaps North Korea) are in on the WEF scam.
now i know why the french invented the guillotine.
for those who would play god.
The Davos crowd are the French aristocracy strutting arrogantly around Versailles.
But, out here, among us peasants in is 1788 and time to build the tumbrils!
Check out some Clif High and the Woo’s take on the wef……

Davos/WEF is another instantiation of the political aims of collectivists. This cultural/intellectual war has been underway since at least the 18th century – with millions of deaths to its everlasting glory. It believes, with a long history reaching back to Rousseau, Herder, Fichte, Kant, et al, that conflict and war are the purest, required, means for achieving the collectivist realization of the full “reality” of the species (us). It is anti-liberal, anti-individual, anti-science, anti-freedom, anti-capitalist (which depends upon freely interacting individuals).
Important details are needed.
The notion that WEF requires more definition so that precision can be applied to confronting it across all planes of human activity has merit. What is it? Right Wing collectivism (i.e., fascism)? Left Wing collectivism (i.e, communism)? A meld of the two perceived as the latest response to all previous collectivist failures (e.g., French Revolution, Paris Commune, WWII, Soviet Union, Maoist China)? Is it a veil that it appears to be sustained by hugely wealthy capitalists? Who are these people? What is their ideology? What informs their morality, their attitudes to culture, their priorities for education? Is there any irony in the thought that these people believe technology has reached the point where collectivism is enforceable (read tech magazines like Wired when you have a free moment and you’ll be surprised – the collectivist impulse is evident while not openly expressed).
It’s not enough to identify oneself as a victim. There’s a huge abyss between “I shall not submit” and “We shall overcome.”
Attribution is a fundamental problem here.
What is their ideology? Simple: We are smarter and more deserving than your are, and you will shut up and worship us as directed.
The WEF is led by an 84 year old NAZI-COMMUNIST MEGALOMANIAC Klaus Schwab. Another German tyrant trying to CONQUER the WORLD for his elitist cabal. When do we get rid of GERMANY? They started two world wars, gave us Karl Marx whose communism has engulfed half the world. Germany FUNDED COMMUNISM – Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin – in Russia and Russia funded Mao in China. And now Germany wants a ONE WORLD COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT…PURE TYRANNY – AGAIN!
It occurs to me that perhaps in the very near future there will be a power struggle within the WEF, to topple Klaus Schwab . . . that he is “unlikeable” and “out of touch” and “it is time for new leadership”. Who or what comes after him will probably be even worse but they could be thrown into disarray as those who who would defend Klaus Schwab’s continued leadership will be outnumbered even though he purportedly started it.
What the WEF espouses today is not what Klaus Schwab was saying in 1970 . . . is it possible that Schwab and Soros could both be merely “bagmen”?
Then I hope and pray that the Swiss people will move to have the WEF expelled!

The World Economic Forum and the globalist movement it helps lead have used the “climate crisis” and the COVID-19 pandemic as pretexts for measures to redistribute the wealth of nations.
But this week, as WEF convenes is annual conference in Davos, Switzerland, the Arctic sea ice expanse so far this month is at a 30-year high, according to data from intergovernmental European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites.

….of all good men and women who have emerged in recent years, Neil Oliver has to be my favourite. Love the guy, his intellect and eloquence is legendary.
Would love for John to read the poem When the Saxon Begins to Hate (or whatever it’s true name it…). It begins to be more and more true!!
