World Economic Forum in New York. (Insider Report).

For the first time in its history, the World Economic Forum (WEF) held its annual meeting outside of Davos, Switzerland. After the 9-11 terror attacks, the WEF decided to meet in New York City from January 31st-February 4th. The meeting was moved to New York City "as a sign of solidarity with the city."

The WEF serves as a major vehicle for promoting world government in top business, political, media, academic, and financial circles under the rubrics of "globalization" and "global governance." WEF events, like those of the IMF, World Bank, and World Trade Organization, have been sites of strident demonstrations in recent years by leftist coalitions, whose main beef with the globalists is that their narrow focus on economics and trade puts "profits before people." The leftist critics insist that UN institutions must be expanded, empowered, and funded to address labor, health, educational, environmental, and other issues as well. WEF leaders have been only too happy to respond with proposals and support for UN expansion into many new areas. The WEF's Global Governance Task Force issued its Global Governance Report "as a first step in developing that political will" necessary to implement the many proposals for UN enlargement set forth in the Declaration of the United Nations' Millennium Summit.

Pushing in the same direction from the port side was a "counter-summit" known as the World Social Forum, held during the same time period in Alegro, Brazil. A reported 60,000 NGO activists participated. The conflict between the two events is a stage-managed charade; as usual, the major NGOs that provide the cadres for these gatherings are funded by the same globalists gathering at the WEF. The rent-a-mob demonstrators and their antics make the one-world corporatists appear conservative, reasonable, and responsible by comparison.
