We definitely need to pay attention to the ravings of James Bond-style villain, Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum. He likes to gloat about what the globalists are going to do next, I think because they are so full of themselves, believing in their invincibility, and confident that no-one will defeat them. Thus, they have told us that we will eat bugs, that we will own noting and be "happy, "and that the climate crisis will entail an end of fossil fuels. But a new paper on their web site by Maha Hosain Aziz
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2024/08/4-global-risks-to-look-out-for-in-the-post-pandemic-era/, is predicting that the post Covid world will face numerous "shocks':
"Make no mistake – the US-driven post-Cold War era ended a while ago (and realistically America's 2024 election won't change this). Enduring global leadership, democratic ideals, globalization and liberal values have all been notably challenged and superpowers are overstretched. This is a global legitimacy crisis as argued in my book and our past crowdsourced research since 2017. This period of muddling through means anything can happen in our post-pandemic era. Look for global risks to be further exacerbated by unexpected, destabilizing shock events.
Briefly, here are three shock events to consider that may impact global stability:
1. A new global extremist group emerges: with the world distracted with multiple major wars and leadership in decline, this could be an opportunistic time for a new extremist group to make its mark – and maybe not face as many consequences. Perhaps, it will even leverage AI tools to kick off a new phase of terrorism.
2. A cyber pandemic – that is intentional: the massive global IT outage in July was not terrorism, but simply a faulty software update from a cybersecurity firm. Yet, it cost Fortune 500 companies $5.4 billion in damages and shut down flights, banks, hospitals, retailers and other services worldwide. Imagine if a bad actor did this – on purpose and an even grander scale?
3. Climate change claims its first island nation in the post-pandemic era: The COP28 plan to phase out fossil fuels may take decades and it's unclear if world leaders will follow through. What's more probable is that in the meantime certain island nations (who emit only 0.3% of global emissions) will keep fighting their cause, whether it is through international law or new climate funds. But, if these islands do succumb to climate change, sinking a lot faster than we expect, how will climate activists and world leaders react?"
We have been warned of this before, but now the threats are looming ever closer, particularly the sorts of grid crashes caused by cyber-attacks.
