Great commentary! The answer lays in understanding the sociopathic mind. Read Hervey Cleckley’s “The Mask of Sanity”, 1941 and Robert Hare’s works, especially his “The Psychopathic Test” which is on line.
These people have been with us for all human development but only recently have they formed coalitions to boost each other in this power grab. Power is all they know or respect. All the evil that has ever occurred has been by them. They are the predators of others’ wealth and influence. They know no bound in their hunger for power. They simply want more power today than they had yesterday.
Years ago, I was teaching a principles of economic class and explaining that even the wealthiest centuries ago were paupers compared to almost anyone in the West today. Some students were so ahistorical that they wouldn't believe the numbers. One student believed the numbers but said he would rather have been powerful and relatively poor centuries ago than who he is today. At first, I thought he was joking. He wasn't. He explained he enjoyed ordering people around.
Interesting comments. I love Hayek. There are def. people at the top who want to boss others around (this is commonplace at all levels of society) but I do agree that many people at the top (and people who consider themselves to be 'leaders' [whether they are or not is another question]) very often DO think they know better and, importantly, are BETTER people, than the common folk.
Social Justification Theory by Prof John Jost proposes that people go along with the power holders and throw victims/targets under the bus even if they know that the power holders are doing the wrong thing. The perceived benefit to one's survival overrides ethical conduct and self-examination about one's actual impact.
Outsourcing one's sovereignty to an external authority is destructive. These WEF/WHO/UN etc robots are so detached from reality and so enamoured with their social status that they're under the illusion that their status = higher intelligence = benevolence.
Soros was painful to listen to and had nothing substantive to say, just like many other nepo babies who inherited their Golden Child role in the WEF circus.
Fauci has been in the position to impose his will on vulnerable masses for over 40 years. He was behind the death of thousands of early AIDS patients with AZT, which was created decades earlier as a cancer treatment but shortly shelved for its high toxicity and adverse side effects. Did anyone really expect a different outcome?
Fauci’s own report on the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic found that people didn’t die due to the flu, rather it was primarily bacterial pneumonia that killed millions. Where did the bacteria breed? The upper respiratory system. The Covid clot shot can’t do damn thing to protect you from bacterial pneumonia, but lots of other otc treatments can!
Finally, why was he funding illegal gain of function research? He’d already been told no, and that it is illegal by CDC and DoD. Why has he not been arrested and prosecuted for funding unlawful research, especially since he did it in China!
Imagine a system where whistleblowers and other honest officials doing the right thing were promoted instead of needing protection from being fired or cancelled or worse, and corruption was treated legally like one of the most dangerous crimes to a society(which it is)
There’s always going to be power hungry people and are Machiavellian in how they use it, but imo why they rise to the top is because our system is setup to reward them, we reward results by any means necessary, if we were to redesign the incentives in our system then maybe we would get different results even though the power hungry would still be part of the society
Do you think Soro's son needs media training? I've never heard so many ums and ahs and inarticulateness. He may have power, but he can't talk. He's the most unimpressive bad guy.
