The Davos jamboree is coming to an end. The fact that it was covered with such enthusiasm by media companies shows how much media companies desire the support of big business.
As ordinary citizens Davos confronts us with real challenges. The past 300 years have been a relentless battle between democracy and authoritarianism. We thought we were winning, that elected councils and constituency MPs would represent the wishes of ourselves and our neighbours. That local schools, hospitals and employment would be delivered to where they are needed: here. The ethos of Davos, Bilderberg and the Council on Foreign Relations has the opposite intention because it thinks that power should be in the hands of those who "know how to manage best", the Multinational corporations.
Whether deliberate or not, the media coverage of Davos is all about peeling power away from local people. It gives priority to global problems and implies that the solution lies with the kind and generous folk who run big corporations. It is time for a reality check.
Multinational Corporations do not give a damn about you and me. Their remit is solely growth and profit. If their CEOs make speeches about helping humanity it is in practice no more than good public relations for their companies, the CEOs are never brought to account for their promises, corporations are not democratic entities.
Multinational Corporations are not responsible for the rise in global living standards. This rise is the result of improvements in education and governance - see Globalisation, global trade, internationalism.
The most profound desire of Multinational Corporations is to break down all barriers to trade so that they can source human and other resources globally. This removes control of the economy from the electorate and the economy is the most important aspect of governance. People will become just chaff in the wind if the Multinationals get their way.
Davos shows that our irresponsible media have already thrown in their lot with these enemies of democracy and freedom.
