    {Count Dankula @CountDankulaTV | 17 January 2024}

    I was really disappointed when I found out Javier Milei was going to the WEF summit.

    Until I got a few minutes into his speech and he is just telling them that everything they are doing is wrong and $#@!ed up and the "root of all the worlds problems".

    He's a pulling a Gervais at the Golden Globes so far.

    And he has just $#@! all over their socialist model and told them free market capitalism is the only way forward lmao.

    I think he just trojan horsed them to $#@! all over their ideology to their faces but I am going to watch the rest.

    He's now pulling out the stats and saying how from year zero to about 1800 global per capita GDP was at rock bottom and never increased during that time and the only thing that changed this was free market capitalism.

    He is going HARD with the stats. The crowd is $#@!ing squirming.

    Also lmao.


    "Free market capitalism and trade is the only way to end hunger and poverty across out planet, the empirical evidence is unquestionable"

    Man is $#@!ing railing everything the WEF stands for to their faces lmao.

    "The state is financed through coercion."

    Man said taxation is theft.

    He's now explaining the basics of supply/demand economics.

    Convenient since the WEF clearly needs to be educated on that.

    He is now asking them why anyone can be against the system of free market capitalism which has a proven track record of lifting people out of poverty.

    He is now talking about Libertarianism and telling the crowd it's core values.

    Each core value is something the WEF is against.

    He said there are those who seek to undermine everyones freedom for their own personal power and condemn to world the poverty and stagnation.

    He didn't point any figures but it's clear he is talking about the WEF, I think he is being careful so he doesn't get pulled off stage.

    "It should never be forgotten that socialism is always, and everywhere an impoverishing phenomenon that has failed in all countries where it has been tried out"

    He's $#@!ing nuking them.

    He is now describing how market failures are almost always caused by state regulations and interference.

    The WEF wants complete totalitarian control of the market.

    "Whenever you want to correct a supposed market failure, inexorably, as a result of not knowing what the market is, or as a result of having fallen in love with a failed model, you are opening up the doors to socialism and condemning people to poverty"

    Schwab is sweating.

    "All that base feminism radical agenda has led to is greater state intervention, to hinder the economic process, giving a job to bureaucrats who have not contributed anything to society, examples are international organisation committed to pushing this agenda"

    He is cleverly talking about everything the WEF stands for without naming the WEF.

    He's now talking about how neo-marxists have co-opted all of our institutions.

    His closing statement.

    "Do not be intimidated either by the political class or by parasites who live off the state, do not surrender to a political class that only wants to stay in power and retain its privileges."

    "Do not surrender to the advance of the state, the state is not the solution, the state is the problem itself"

    GOD DAYUM

    Speech finished. Yeah he completely trojan horsed them. He spent the whole time $#@!ting all over the WEFs ideals and goals without outright naming them (maybe worried about being yanked off stage). Even breaking out empirical evidence to prove that the economic model the WEF wants does not work.

    This was amazing, especially after seeing Klaus Schwab shidding and farding about "the dangers of libertarianism" just a few weeks ago, Javi goes into his house and starts preaching it.

    Full translated speech is here.

    [see the video embedded above - OB]





    Javier Milei is who Klaus Schwab is talking about.

    And Milei just walked into Schwab's own house and threw it right in his face.

    There is nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency, but a globalism where free trade is competitively subsidized by each nation, a continuous trade war is dictated by the WTO, and the single currency is pure fiat, fear is justified. That type of globalism is destined to collapse into economic despair, inflationism and protectionism and managed by resurgent militant nationalism.

    Milei's rebuke of WEF to their own faces is significant enough (and has gained enough traction/attention) that it deserves a thread of it's own - so I've moved all the relevant posts from this thread to a new one:
    Please make any posts concerning the Milei/WEF/Davos nexus to that thread.

    One is invited to speak at Davos and the one isnt. Can you imagine Davos inviting Ron Paul to their assembly? His invitation alone should be a big red flag to anyone else who thinks he is legit. Hey, if he was so fiscally efficient, why didn't he fly economy class. That looks like 1st class which isn't what normal people fly with.

    I understand, some people care about identity politics and other dont. You must be one of those guys who dont care and the problem with politicians who engage in identity politics is that when the identity they protect go against their principle, they usually protect the identity instead of their principle.

    God bless your heart if you actually believe that. The man is being used for something and I am not exactly sure what it is. We are all acting like the WEF didnt do their research and were just completely shocked by the role the pretends to play in politics.

    We finally have a guy on the international stage saying literally all the right things from our perspective. He is remarkably invoking the names of Mises, Hayek, and Rothbard in a way that no other person in global politics has since Ron Paul and - forgive me, here - has managed to gain significantly more prominence than Ron in that he actually won an election to head of state, in a economically devastated country. And somehow, people on our side are suspicious of his motives? And when - inevitably - TPTB come in and undermine him or overthrow him, this will then become further confirmation that he was all along a globalist plant.

    I'm not sure how people like you get out of bed in the morning. Every defeat is a defeat, and every victory is a defeat. Must be a miserable way to walk through life.

    We're not acting like anything. We're watching the actions of the WEF and Javier Milei. You can't really criticize Javier Milei until he actually does something worth criticizing. If you find something, tell us.

    Its not that awful being me, I do take pleasure in the small genuine victories in life. A municipal bond is defeated, that's a victory, getting the local hospital to drop their vaccine mandates, that is another victory. With Milei, I will just watch and see if my suspicions are true. If not, then I will join the cheerleaders on this site to sing his praises.

    Speeches at WEF does absolutely nothing for me, removing a bunch of useless but insignificant govt employees is good but as an anarch cap, he could do much better. I wanna see how much of the budget he cuts and how much of it comes from the defense, pharma and intelligence sector.

    I am watching, his support for Ukraine and the Israeli govt is concerning but its not the smoking gun I was expecting to condemn him. But I will surely post more when he slips up. I know he will slip up.

    Yes, but what will you post if he does cut defense to the bone, and pharma completely out?

    Well, Javier Milei isn't an Anarcho-capitalist so prepare to be disappointed. The rest of us will celebrate each victory he has in reducing the size of government and we'll criticize his missteps that contradict that.

    Milei is not a dictator. He does not have absolute control to cut what he wants. He has to work with a legislative body from which his party is a small minority. That said, Milei has come out swinging.

    Argentine President Javier Milei's "omnibus" bill, a sprawling reform package ranging from tax hikes to privatizations, has cleared its first hurdle in Congress with a green light from a lower house committee. It now faces far tougher obstacles.

    The bill, part of a major push to reshape the South American country's embattled economy, will require majority approval from lawmakers in both chambers of Congress, where Milei's own libertarian coalition only holds a small minority of seats.

    It is a key plank of Milei's reform plans since taking office last month, aimed at reviving the fortunes of South America's no. 2 economy, which is battling inflation over 200%, high poverty levels and crippling public debt.

    As part of the bill, the government would privatize a raft of public firms - though it has backtracked on selling off state energy firm YPF (YPFD.BA), opens new tab - and introduce a broad 15% tax on most exports, with top export soy and its derivatives rising to 33% from 31%.

    The lengthy legislation faces a debate in the lower chamber of deputies next week, with some conservative and moderate blocs in Congress supportive, though often with conditions, while more left-leaning lawmakers are generally opposed.

    Milei's right-wing coalition has only 15% of the seats in the lower house and 10% in the Senate, but he has allied with the main conservative bloc and brought a range of political voices into his government.

    "Many of us have the will to accompany the government and help it in the necessary reforms to get the country out of this crisis," Radical Civic Union lawmaker Martin Tetaz said, according to a read-out of the lower house committee debate.

    "But we are convinced that these reforms cannot be done at the expense of austerity on retirees, cannot include increases in taxes on production and, much less, on exports."

    The official Peronist bloc, the main opposition, was more forthright in their plans to try to knock down the bill.

    "As a bloc we are going to express our rejection," said the head of the Union por la Patria coalition German Martinez, adding he expected other political parties to join them.

    The man is a self-described anarcho-capitalist, this is not something his enemies call him. Sorry but I would like to see him act like one. Instead, he goes around supporting statists like Zelensky who forcibly conscripts citizens to fight in a war, a man who ban certain Christian churches. The man cant even be honest to himself.

    Its not about getting perfection, even Ron Paul was not perfect. The point is getting someone who I believe is not a controlled opposition. I hope I am wrong but just like Trump, the man is sus as hell.
