Episode description

The World Economic Forum is the Forest Gump of world affairs. They appear in every major news event since its conception in 1972. The organization is a forum of the most powerful businessmen, politicians, civic leaders, NGOs, and Economists who work to develop policy for the entire world. It is the economic engine of the world economy, or in political terms it would be considered the “Department of Commerce” for the world government. The key leaders in this organization work to distribute economic policy that they deem suitable for the world to every nation in attendance. Nations that receive financing from central banks like the IMF, World Bank, Federal Reserve, etc. are essentially forced to implement the policies that are developed through this organization. If they don’t play by the rules, then they end up in color revolutions as a method of replacing a government that’s more favorable to the WEF policies. Recent examples would be Iraq, Libya, Iran, France, UK, Ukraine, and America.
