The globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) is investigating Klaus Schwab, the organization’s founder, over accusations of financial and ethical misconduct.

A whistleblower sent a letter last week to the WEF’s board allegating that Schwab used WEF money for personal reasons. According to an exclusive report from The Wall Street Journal:

It included allegations that Klaus Schwab asked junior employees to withdraw thousands of dollars from ATMs on his behalf and used Forum funds to pay for private, in-room massages at hotels. It also alleged that his wife Hilde, a former Forum employee, scheduled “token” Forum-funded meetings in order to justify luxury holiday travel at the organization’s expense. 

Schwab denies the accusations. He said that whenever he charged massages at a hotel to the WEF while traveling, he paid that money back. He and his wife also denied allegations about using WEF money for luxury travel. Schwab plans to file a lawsuit against the person who wrote the anonymous letter.

Just before the allegations surfaced, Schwab stepped down from his position as chair of the board of trustees.

Current WEF leadership says it’s taking the charges seriously and initiating an independent investigation. But they also pointed out that the allegations “remain unproven and will await the outcome of the investigation to comment further.” 

“Culture of Misogyny and Racism”

This is the second time in less than a year that WEF employees have leveled accusations of misbehavior against Schwab and WEF higher-ups. In June 2024, the Journal published a report about accusations that WEF leadership had for a long time fostered a culture of misogyny and racism. “Under Schwab’s decades-long oversight, the Forum has allowed to fester an atmosphere hostile to women and Black people in its own workplace, according to internal complaints,” the Journal reported. A half-dozen women accused WEF senior managers of sexual harassment and some employees complained that managers used the N-word around black employees. As for Schwab, he had created a reputation for being a creep. According to the report, “Since the Forum’s earliest years, staffers say women received warnings about Schwab: If you find yourself alone with him, he may make uncomfortable comments about your appearance.”

The WEF, naturally, had denied the allegations. It claimed many of them came from people who were let go for poor performance.

The June 2024 allegations came after Schwab had recently stepped aside as the executive chairman. They also reek of hypocrisy, which didn’t go unnoticed by employees. As the Journal reported:

The Forum’s workplace culture is particularly distressing to many employees because of the organization’s public stances promoting gender equality. It publishes an annual “Global Gender Gap Report” that details various countries’ progress toward gender parity. Some of the allegations of mistreatment came from former members of the very team that put it together. 

The Great Reset

The WEF was founded in 1971. Made up of elitist globalists from corporate, academic, media, and government realms, it seeks to impose a fascist/communist-style world government. But the WEF didn’t garner a lot of mainstream attention until the Covid era. A 2016 WEF promo video came back to haunt the organization when it launched its Great Reset campaign. In the video, the WEF revealed its aims to render the peasant class free of property in the famous “you will own nothing and be happy” video.

As a majority of governments across the world leveled totalitarian-style restrictions on movement, speech, and worship, and as many of those governments tried to force everyone to take the Covid-19 injection, nationalist movements and the rising conservative media began pointing to the WEF’s Great Reset agenda. With the Covid crisis, which government policies and restrictions made exceedingly worse, WEF globalists saw an opportunity to “reset” the world. Among the changes, as TNA reported in our January 4, 2021, issue, the WEF aimed to shatter what remained of the free market and replace it with a technocratic system of nebulous “social” and “environmental” goals.

Aligned With the UN

The WEF’s goals were not only aligned with the United Nation’s Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development vision, but in many cases identical. That’s because many of the main players were involved in both entities. And, as TNA has pointed out, the WEF had inked a “Strategic Partnership Framework” deal with the UN designed to facilitate the imposition of Agenda 2030.

Agenda 2030 is essentially an outline of elite control of the entire world. It prescribes 17 goals centered around warped views of environmentalism, gender equality, and population control.

By 2022, Schwab was feeling confident. He told the crowd during the organization’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, that “the future is built by us,” specifically referring to the “powerful people in this room.” Asset fund managers such as Blackrock and Vanguard were bullying international corporations into following environmentalist and “woke” positions in their business practices. Target was selling clothes for “trans” children and many companies in the West had hired race hucksters to tell white employees how terrible they were. Also, Western Europe was sold on going green. Basically, business and woke politics were merging, fulfilling the WEF’s “stakeholder capitalism” vision.

Opposition Building

But pushback was building, as publications such as TNA and other influential voices in the freedom movement started warning about the WEF’s dystopian vision for our lives. Despite attempts to silence and “fact check” any and all criticism of the absurd policies coming out of the WEF and Western governments, word was getting out. The censors ended up playing whack-a-mole. No matter how many dissidents they cancelled, another crop popped up somewhere else. No matter how many social-media accounts they shut down, the nationalists figured out a way to get the message out. And by 2024, nationalists had succeeded in bringing global attention to Schwab and the WEF. They had beaten the censors.

By the time the WEF held its 2024 annual meeting in Davos, the organization was reeling. Its theme, “Rebuilding Trust,” corroborated its diminished influence. TNA pointed out that this “was a transparent sign that Klaus Schwab, the WEF’s Central Casting-esque founder and leader, senses that the power and influence of globalists are very much on the wane, even as nationalism and a renewed interest in liberty are transforming governments and societies from Finland and Italy all the way to Argentina.”

And it looks like things haven’t gotten any better for Schwab. The organization he started has now turned on him, and he’s seen as a villain by billions in the world.

But the globalist threat is anything but vanquished. Schwab’s fall is one of many dominoes that need to come down.
