FRANCIS, A POPE OF THE POOR? A POPE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT? OR A POPE OF THE GLOBAL ELITE? Part III

A pope to the global partnership
Is this simply another example of an institution swimming with the stream? After all, the pope is merely singing the same tune as all the other Western heads of state. But there is more to it: Francis Bergoglio sees himself as an active partner of the great social and economic upheaval instigated by the global governance in the wake of the Covid crisis, and advertised by the WEF under the ‘Great Reset’ brand name. As it happens, this global governance is supposed to gather the world’s public and private ‘stakeholders’ inside a ‘partnership’. The latter, which is more like a subservience of the state to the corporate global elite, is meant to allow the technocratic managerial ruling class to decide the planet’s future far from any democratic process. This is what they call the Global Public-Private Partnership (GPPP or G3P).
‘Stakeholder capitalists’, as they like to call themselves, represent the senior partners. Basically, these are the financial and Info Tech complex, that is to say the finance industry (BlackRock, Vanguard and the SIFI international investment banks) in collusion with Info Tech (Big Tech), under the aegis of the central banks (BIS, Fed, ECB and BoE), while good old Big Oil (and all the industries, such as Big Food, depending on it) stands in the background. They consider themselves to be responsible as a whole for global public common good in a decisive and vital way. These CEOs and chairmen are the real policymakers. The junior partners are the governments and their respective state apparatus (with the exception of China which holds a specific position in the food chain). States are some kind of ‘middle-management’ to the global corporate oligopoly… The global governance also relies heavily on international institutions such as the IMF, World Bank, WTO or OECD, NGOs such as the WHO, and, of course, the main private NPOs such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust or Rockefeller Foundation…
And then come the stakeholders’ global assemblies (for want of a better word), among which the Vatican looks forward to holding rank. The task of these particular NPOs is to think over the agenda conducted by the senior partners, and to coordinate the decisions of those in charge of implementing the policies derived from this agenda. Right now, the main one is undoubtedly the World Economic Forum (WEF), whose lifelong chairman Dr Klaus Schwab managed over time to allow the Davos Forum to become the inescapable ‘hub’ of the said global partnership. Contrarily to the low-profile clubs such as the central bankers’ Group of Thirty, the public-private Bilderberg Group and Trilateral Commission, or the older Chatham House and Council on Foreign Relations, the WEF takes on, with a lot of publicity, the mission with which it is endowed, by virtue of the corporate ‘community’ it serves. The global governance does not need to hide any longer. Actually, the WEF is in charge of its public relations, and is therefore at the helm of a huge marketing campaign designed to push ‘civil society’ to welcome the governance’s new policies: the Great Reset and the subsequent 4th Industrial Revolution. Upon the wreckages left by the COVID crisis and thanks to the narrow ‘window of opportunity’ the latter offers, stakeholder capitalists will be able to implement a new ‘responsible capitalism’ transcending both Keynesianism and Neoliberalism. Or so they say.
