LOL Check out their Talking Points

This year's World Economic Forum in Davos has been described as the most crucial in the event's 40-year history. For the VIP delegates taking part, the challenge will be to find ways to survive the global turmoil

Talking points

Oops! They sound scared.

"whether an anti-capitalist backlash can be avoided"

:scared:

[PDJane]

1. "values" and "market capitalism"

are incompatible concepts.

[leftstreet]

2. They spell it 'value$'

:-)

[omega minimo]

3. They won

[ShortnFiery]

4. Re: Power to the people: politics in the internet age

Perhaps they could school the Corporate GOP on the computers that The Obama Administration threw out of the WH from Chimpy's reign? :evilgrin:

[leftstreet]

6. LOL

Nice pic!

:rofl:

[ShortnFiery]

9. p.s.

"Tony Blair joins business leaders ... "

I hear Tony will is having an Opus Dei. :wow: :scared:

Blair, his 'sexy' Catholic aide... and their new Yale HQ near her Opus Dei father's office

Tony Blair is setting up an American office for his religious charity in a move that sheds new light on his close links with Ruth Turner, his controversial former Downing Street aide.

Ms Turner, 38, who was at the heart of the cash-for-honours inquiry in 2006 and 2007, was chosen by the former Prime Minister last spring to run his new Tony Blair Faith Foundation.

/snip

It has become a highly lucrative vehicle for the ex-premier, concentrating its activities at America’s Yale University, where Mr Blair teaches a course on ‘faith and globalisation’ – and where Ms Turner’s British-born father, Denys, is a theology professor.
Asked about the foundation’s expansion plans and whether Catholicism played a role in it, his spokesman drew attention to an article on its website, which said: ‘As Prime Minister of Britain, Tony Blair was officially an Anglican. Unofficially, though, he was a practising Roman Catholic.’

It goes on to quote Mr Blair as saying: ‘My wife’s Catholic, my kids are brought up as Catholics, I’ve been going to mass for 25 years,’ and it comments: ‘In a way, Blair’s foundation is the culmination of his life as a double agent.’

11. wow

I hadn't seen that.

LOL I guess nothing should be shocking anymore

[ShortnFiery]

14. No, but what gives me HOPE is that these over-inflated EGOS will not be able to

find ORDER, whether it be "One World" or NOT.

But there's some interesting reading at this site. Yes, I would not be surprised that there are some very FREAKY alliances and some of them have origins in offshoots - tainting of the Christian Religions.

[Kip Humphrey]

21. Blair teaches a course on ‘faith and globalisation’ ... Should be BLIND faith...

the only way anyone can believe in globalisation.

[metapunditedgy]

5. It's not an issue of "capitalism" or "socialism." The predators built a

system that was biased in their favor, and then they pretend that they have a God-given right to perpetuate that system.

We'll be fixing that soon. :-)

[undergroundpanther]

7. I'd tell them

You keep screwing over people,your little party will come to an abrupt end.

Greedy predators..always fail..

[Warpy]

8. I'd tell them they're a bunch of fucking idiots

and that if even a nurse in Podunk could tell them that substituting debt for wages so they could strip mine labor was a stupid idea and would eventually crash the economy as the debt started to reach a critical level and go unpaid, they'd definitely been paying the wrong people to do their thinking for them.

I'd tell these masters of the universe that they're irrelevant and that the economy has always run from the bottom up and if they don't want people to rise up and strangle them in their beds they'd better realize it and repair the economy fast, and that means parting with everything they stole from us to rebuild the economy from the bottom up.

I'd then leave them all with a nice graphic of the aristocracy in their tumbrils, Madame La Guillotine in the distance with blade raised to welcome them properly to hell.

They'd better be scared. They have done this to us before and some of their ancestors were executed because of it.

[leftstreet]

10. I wish you were there as our envoy

[Wiley50]

19. Damn Warpy! I think I love you! (been meaning to tell you that for a while) n/t

[cliffordu]

12. "This is really gonna hurt.....

....And leave a nasty mark..."

[Double T]

13. Greed, Greed and More Greed is what went wrong you worth-less SOBs.

An ANTI-capitalist backlash is inevitable and I will help to lead the way you wretched bastards! To be or not to be; that is no longer the question. What do you call every CEO, executive management and board member fitted in cement overshoes drowning on the bottom of the ocean. Answer: Hope and Change. Frugal my ass; America is months away from outright poverty. The wall street scam artists have raped, pillaged and burned the US and world economy for the last 30 years and the backlash cometh!!!

[leftstreet]

15. Nice rant!

...and the backlash cometh

:thumbsup:

[Fridays Child]

16. "Predator class."

The term is so apt. I hope it gains wide usage.

[leftstreet]

17. Capitalism: The Predatory Phase of Human Development

Heard that somewhere too!

[Wiley50]

18. At this point I'd tell them

"Pay Up or Die You Greedy Motherfuckers!"

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. "That Pate de fois Gras you just consumed was laced with cyanide.

"Oh, and I pissed in the sorbet and spit in your water glasses, too."

[Deja Q]

22. Well, Davos would say it's getting crowded...

[OffWithTheirHeads]

23. How about "You are all under arrest"

SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Oops. I mean, you have the right to remain silent.

[kenny blankenship]

24. Live it up, baby!

Because this could be your last chance.
