Hello Peasants.
"We have entered a new Middle Ages: an era that most resembles the pre-Westphalian era of nearly 1,000 years ago. That was the period of history when the East was as powerful (if not more so) than the West, cities mattered more than nations, powerful dynasties and trading companies were engines of growth and innovation, private mercenaries fought in all wars, religious crusades shaped inter-cultural relations, and new trade routes over land and sea forged the world’s first (nearly) global economy. ..Davos has nothing to do with sovereignty and everything to do with authority: it’s peer-to-peer among anybody who’s somebody. Where else do hundreds of Fortune 500 CEOs, American cabinet secretaries, the mayor of London, prime minister of Catalonia, chairman of China’s Export-Import Bank, investor-statesmen like George Soros, rock-star activists like Bono, and billionaire hybrid executive philanthropists like Bill Gates speak directly and honestly, and form new ventures on the spot?"

Please be distracted by your Tea Parties and Progressives as the real power brokers have broken the back of the working class in their globalism. Let me know if you think you have a say in what matters.
And +1 to you deluded right wing douches and your lovely bread and circus Tea Party shenanigans that delude you into thinking your on some sort of meaningful crusade that matters to real power in the world.The only thing that ever scared these people was organized little people, and you guys throw that out before you start because it's, you know "socialism" or something thus ensuring your own serfdom.
Rock on.
