All governments in the world are in the world order. Adding 'new' just makes it look as if they have not achieved this world order yet, which would be very foolish to think. Their order is very, very old.
The 'new' in new world order is the fact that we are heading into a new world, one with a lot less 'undesirables' and a lot more digital control.
Spain had one of the strictest lockdowns during the PlanD. People were wearing masks even outdoors - when they were allowed out, that is.
Blackrock and Blackstone have been buying up property in Spain.
Data centres are also moving to Spain:
“Spain is one of the leading secondary data center markets in Europe,” with Barcelona and the nation’s capital of Madrid serving as chief data center construction sites, and Madrid emerging as a high-investment location.
Well, here's where the line will be drawn, or not. Digital ID required for evry action and connected to your finances is the end of individual liberty and the completion of a complete takeover by government. This is the hill to die on. There will be a new order of hero-hackers who work to disrupt this development and there will be political opposition. Can they succeed in stopping this?
The speech today by President Milei to the WEF is sheer genius and is the rallying cry of a return to freedom. No doubt your cynicism will not allow you to see its significance but many will.
She too serves. No choice. A faction of powerful national interests sustain the State. " After the head of state comes the head of government.

A lukewarm general silence prevails over the actions of her government, which is then a tacit assent, surrounded by haters and admirers on the sidelines; but when you see her at the top as a child among the greats in the austere halls of the Palace, a small flame of pride takes hold of you: but how good our child is, how tough she is, how she answers, conquers with smiles and glances from below upwards… Biancanana and the seven greats."https://www.marcelloveneziani.com/articoli/i-sette-che-guidano-litalia/
My reference was to President Milei of Argentina. He is far more revolutionary than Meloni. Interesting that many did not take milei seriously when he was elected because he had attended WEF sessions and leftist universities. Where would he learn what he needed to know? those who measure their leaders for purity are truly foolish.
He says the "winds of change are blowing in the West" and calls for a cure to the "mental virus of woke ideology" that has "colonized institutions".
Milei urges the world to "embrace the last proven thesis of economic and social success" and the "ideas of freedom", and go back to libertarianism.
Good morning everyone. And how much has changed in such a short time. A year ago, I stood here before you, alone, and spoke some truths about the state of the Western world that were met with some surprise and astonishment by much of the political, economic and media establishment of the West.
And I must admit that, in a way, I understand it. A president from a country that, as a result of systematic economic failure for more than 100 years, as a result of having the country taken weak stances in major global conflicts, and as a result of us having closed ourselves off to trade, we had lost practically all international significance over the years.
A president of such a country stood on this stage and told the entire world that they were wrong, that they were headed for failure, that the West had gone astray, and that it needed to be redirected.
The president of that country, Argentina, who was not a politician, who had no legislative support, no backing from governors, business leaders or media groups. In that speech, here standing before you, I told you it was the beginning of a new Argentina, that Argentina had been infected with socialism for far too long, and that with us it would once again embrace the ideas of freedom – a model that we summarize as the defence of life, liberty and private property.
And I also told you that in a way, Argentina was the "ghost of Western Christmases yet to come", because we had already experienced everything you were going through, and we already knew how it would end. A year later, I must say that I no longer feel so alone.
I don't feel alone, because the world has embraced Argentina. Argentina has become a global example of fiscal responsibility, of commitment to honouring our obligations and, obviously, a commitment to solve the inflation problem.
Also, we are an example of a new way of doing politics, which is about telling people the truth to their faces and trusting that they will understand.
Nor do I feel alone because over the course of this year, I have found allies in this fight for the ideas of freedom in every corner of the world – from the amazing Elon Musk to that fierce Italian lady, my dear Giorgia Meloni; from Bukele in El Salvador to Viktor Orbán in Hungary; from Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel to Donald Trump in the United States – slowly an international alliance has been forming among all those nations which, like ours, want to be free and believe in the ideas of liberty.
And slowly, what once seemed like the absolute global hegemony of the woke left in politics and educational institutions, in the media, in supranational organizations, or even in forums like Davos, has begun to crumble. And I hope for the ideas of freedom is starting to emerge.
Today I've come here to tell you that our battle is not yet won. And although hope has been rekindled, it is our moral duty and our historical responsibility to dismantle the ideological edifice of sickly wokeism, until we have succeeded in rebuilding our historical cathedral, until we have ensured that the majority of Western countries once again embrace the ideas of liberty.
Until our ideas become the common currency in the halls of events such as this one, we can't let our guard down. Because I must say that forums like this one have been protagonists and promoters of the sinister agenda of wokeism that is doing so much damage to the Western world.
If we want to change, if we truly want to defend the rights of citizens, we must first begin by telling them the truth. And the truth is that there is something badly mistaken about the ideas that have been promoted through forums such as this one. And I would like to take a few minutes today to discuss some of them.
Today, few will deny that winds of change are blowing in the West. There are those who resist change, those who grudgingly accept it, but accept it nonetheless. There are the new converts who appear when they see it as inevitable. And finally, there's those of us who have fought all of our entire lives for change to arrive.
Each one of you will know which group you belong to. Surely there may be a bit of each within this auditorium, but you will all surely recognize that the times of change are knocking on our doors.
Historic moments of change have a unique characteristic. The times when formulas that have been in place for decades become exhausted. The methods once considered the only way of doing things cease to make sense and what, to many, seemed unquestionable truths is finally called into question. These are times when the rules get rewritten, and therefore these are times that reward those who have the courage to take risks.
But much of the free world still prefers the comfort of what is familiar, even though it may be the wrong path. And they will insist on applying the recipes of failure and the great burden that is the common denominator among the countries and institutions that are failing is the mental virus of woke ideology.
This is the great epidemic of our time that must be cured. This is the cancer we need to get rid of. This ideology has colonized the world's most important institutions – from the political parties and governments of leading Western nations to global governance organizations, even NGOs, universities and media outlets.
It has also set the tone of the global conversation over the past decades. Until we remove this abhorrent ideology from our culture, our institutions and our laws, Western civilization – and even the human species – will not be able to return to the path of progress demanded by our pioneering spirit.
It is essential to break these ideological chains if we want to usher in a new golden age. That is why today I would like to take a few minutes to breaking those chains.
But first, let's talk about what we are fighting for. The West represents the pinnacle of human achievement on the fertile ground of its Greco-Roman heritage and Judeo-Christian values.
The seeds of something unprecedented in history were sown after definitively overcoming absolutism. Liberalism inaugurated a new era in human existence, and within the new moral and philosophical framework, which placed individual liberty above the whims of tyrants, the West was able to unleash man's creative capacity, initiating an unprecedented process of wealth generation.
The data speaks for itself. Until the year 1800, the world's per capita GDP remained virtually constant. However, from the 19th century onwards, and thanks to the Industrial Revolution, per capita GDP multiplied by 20, lifting 90% of the global population out of poverty, even though the population itself increased eightfold.
And this was only possible thanks to a convergence of fundamental values, respect for life, liberty and property, which enabled free trade, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the other pillars of Western civilization. In addition, our inventive Faustian exploratory, pioneering spirit, which is constantly testing the limits of what is possible, and that's a pioneering spirit that today is represented, among others, by my dear friend Elon Musk, who has been unjustly vilified by the wokism ideology in recent days for an innocent gesture that simply reflects his enthusiasm and gratitude towards people.
In summary, we invented capitalism on the basis of saving, investment, labour and reinvestment, and hard work. We got every worker to multiply tenfold or 100-fold, or why not even a 1,000-fold? Their productivity thus overcoming the https://ourworldindata.org/breaking-the-malthusian-trap. Yet at some point in the 20th century, we lost our way and the liberal principles that had made us free and prosperous were betrayed.
A new political class, driven by collectivist ideologies and taking advantage of times of crisis, saw the perfect opportunity to accumulate power. All the wealth created by capitalism until then and into the future would be redistributed through some scheme of centralized planning, setting in motion a process whose disastrous consequences we are suffering today.
By promoting a socialist agenda while insidiously operating within the liberal paradigm, this new political class distorted the values of liberalism, and so they replaced freedom with liberation, using the coercive power of the state to redistribute the wealth created by capitalism.
Their justification was the sinister, unjust and abhorrent idea of social justice, complemented by theoretical Marxist frameworks aimed at liberating individuals from their needs. And at the core of this new value system lies the fundamental premise that equality before the law is not enough, as hidden systemic injustices exist which must be rectified, an idea that serves as a gold mine for bureaucrats who aspire to omnipotence.
And this is fundamentally, fundamentally what wokeism is about, the result of the reversal of Western values. Each of our civilization's pillars has been replaced by a distorted version of itself through various mechanisms of cultural subversion.
All governments in the world are in the world order. Adding 'new' just makes it look as if they have not achieved this world order yet, which would be very foolish to think. Their order is very, very old.
The 'new' in new world order is the fact that we are heading into a new world, one with a lot less 'undesirables' and a lot more digital control.
Maybe more. Scientism only 200 years old\ give or take.
