Governments of left and right united to create a crony corporate socialism. Just like communism, an oligarchy were protected from their irrational exuberance, subsidized (without consent) by ordinary citizens’ taxes. These insidious links between an unholy oligarchical trinity of multinational corporations, politicians and NGOs have helped Davos develop into a hotbed of dangerous global groupthink. An overlay of aging rockers and sundry celebrities espousing ‘good’ causes sprinkles some stardust amongst the ‘suits’. but adds little contrasting thought to the prevailing politically correct doctrine of big corporations / government / NGOs. Meanwhile, the irony of chartering private jets to protest about global warming by visiting an obscure Swiss mountain peak is somehow lost on self-important celebrity delegates. Ultimately messages from Davos resemble the finale of a Mozart opera – a cast singing some moralistic homily in unison which is frequently far removed from any sense of reality. jhaines6.wordpress/2014/01/27/rt-davos-groupthink-dangerously-out-of-touch/
