World Disinformation Forum

 By Reginald Johnson



   I checked out a few bits of the "World Economic Forum" meeting in Davos, Switzerland and it is distressing. The WEF is supposedly this elite group that promotes all these advanced ideas that will save the world. Billionaires are in attendance so you can only imagine what those "advanced" ideas would be.

 In the morning on Euro News, I heard the Finnish President, I can't remember her name, say repeatedly how important it was to give Ukraine all the weapons it needs to win the war with Russia. Crucial for Europe, she said, without saying why. No mention of the need for negotiating a peace or of possible nuclear dangers if the war keeps going.

 Then later in the day, I saw former CNN pundit Brian Stelter interviewing Arthur Sulzberger, publisher of the New York Times, in a discussion about controlling "disinformation." As they used to say back in the '60s, can you dig it? Here was Stelter, who promoted the totally wrong Trump-Russia collusion claims a few years ago talking with the head of the Times, which also backed the same bogus claims, over and over, in addition to censoring the explosive Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2020 election, blacking out the FBI's strongarming of social media in violation of the First Amendment and running one-sided stories about the Ukraine War.

Disinformation is right --- perpetrators are on full display in Davos. So much for the WEF.
