> it's something closer to the TED Talks

This is blatantly not true.

TED doesn't make official agreements with governments:

> It's random executives networking and trying to make themselves seem more important than they are.

And government officials. Schwab bragged about "infiltrating" governments around the world:

And when the government officials are asked about it they do not want to answer:

> Fun fact: companies that participate in the WEF underperform the S&P

That's irrelevant. What is worrying is that they are among the biggest and involved in all critical industries and have a quasi monopoly on their industries and as a whole. By collaborating together over political goals they form a plutocratic autocracy.

The links you've pasted here make my case for me. Canada sponsored a series of TED talks, for a pittance relative to what they send to other NGOs. Therefore: the WEF has "infiltrated" governments around the world. This is lizard people stuff.

Important people show up at Davos because it's a networking event and an easy way to get publicity. Important people have attended TED talks, too. That doesn't mean TED is a shadowy extragovernmental puppetmaster.

The links I've posted are not talks...

Show me where the Government of Canada has actual agreements with TED to enact, decide or orientate policy.

My source is the head of the WEF.

This doesn't make sense, important people do not need networking events, the are already public figures.

You're making a straw man argument, I didn't say that.

If the head of the TED Talks organization claimed he had infiltrated world governments, I'd take it equivalently seriously.
