Govt Corruption

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has launched an internal investigation into its founder and longtime chairman, Klaus Schwab, following whistleblower allegations of financial misconduct involving both Schwab and his wife, Hilde.

The claims, which include misuse of Forum funds for personal expenses and questionable workplace practices, surfaced last week in a letter obtained by The Wall Street Journal.

The anonymous whistleblower letter, addressed to the WEF’s board, accused Schwab of using the organization’s financial resources for personal gain without proper oversight.

Among the allegations were claims that Schwab instructed junior employees to withdraw thousands of dollars in cash from ATMs for his personal use.

The letter also alleged Schwab used WEF funds to pay for private massages at hotels.

Hilde Schwab, who previously held a role within the organization, was accused of scheduling what the whistleblower described as “token” meetings—minimal or superficial engagements funded by the WEF—in order to justify expensive personal travel.

A second source familiar with the situation confirmed to The Wall Street Journal that an investigation had been initiated.

The board reportedly convened an emergency meeting over the Easter weekend to address the whistleblower’s claims.

Despite Schwab’s attempts to prevent the probe, including his stated intention to pursue legal action against the whistleblower, the board voted to proceed with an independent review of the allegations.

He had previously announced plans to step down later this year, after more than five decades of leading the organization.

In a statement released through a spokesperson, the Schwabs denied all claims raised in the letter.

The spokesperson said Klaus Schwab plans to file a lawsuit against the anonymous author of the whistleblower complaint and “anybody who spreads these mistruths.”

The WEF confirmed the launch of an investigation in its own official statement, noting the board had “unanimously supported” the decision to proceed after consulting with external legal counsel. The Forum emphasized that the allegations remain unproven.

“The Forum takes these allegations seriously, but they remain unproven, and will await the outcome of the investigation to comment further,” the statement read.

The World Economic Forum, based in Geneva, is best known for its annual meetings in Davos, where global political, business, and media leaders gather to discuss international policy.

Klaus Schwab, who founded the organization in 1971, has been a prominent figure in shaping its direction and messaging over the last five decades.

The allegations and resulting investigation come at a time when the WEF has faced increased scrutiny from critics who view the organization as unaccountable and overly influential in global governance matters.

Schwab’s sudden departure amid financial misconduct accusations is likely to fuel further debate over transparency and accountability within the organization.

The independent investigation into Schwab’s alleged conduct is ongoing.

RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) claimed she is “afraid” of speaking her mind about President Donald Trump during an appearance in front of nonprofit leaders in Anchorage this week.

While Murkowski did not reference Trump directly, it was clear who she was referring to.

“We are all afraid,” Murkowski said, pausing.

“It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.”

The discussion, which took place alongside Laurie Wolf, President and CEO of The Foraker Group, came during the group’s annual leadership summit. The summit focused on the ripples that “chaos” in Washington, D.C., might cause in Murkowski’s home state.

Attendees expressed their anxiety about working in the public sector under Trump’s cost-cutting initiatives.

At one point, Murkowski used the word “unlawful” to describe some of the president’s orders.

Recounting a fire drill in which she and aides sought to uncover the truth behind rumors about cuts, she said, “It is as hard as anything I have been engaged in in the 20-plus years I’ve been in the Senate.”

Murkowski recalled asking Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to delay the slashing of AmeriCorps programming.

“I share this with you not to say that ‘we don’t know anything,’ but I’m saying that things are happening so fast through this Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE … none of us understand the half of it,” Murkowski said. “It’s literally piecing it together.”

Watch:

Now, the lawmaker is calling on Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and the administration to pursue a slimmed-down version of the cuts over the next several months.

“I’m not saying you can’t touch Medicaid at all,” Murkowski said.

“What I hope we’re moving away from is an $880 billion cut to Medicaid. Because if that happens, this is going to be a very, very different state.”

Murkowski questioned whether House and Senate leaders are doing enough to act as a check on executive power.

“It’s called the checks and balances. And right now, we are not balancing as the Congress,” Murkowski said.
“I think it’s important the concerns continue to be raised rather than letting the fatigue of the chaos grind you down.”

Millionaire socialist Bernie Sanders appeared at the eye-wateringly priced Coachella festival over the weekend as part of his ‘Fight Oligarchy’ tour—and you literally couldn’t make it up.

Many punters have been forced to take out loans to pay for the tickets, which cost between $679 and $779, with VIP packages reaching between $1,199 and $1,399.

Unsurprisingly, Sanders found this the perfect venue to sound off about his alarmist ‘causes’ while making bank.

Predictably, Sanders urged the audience to vote against President Donald Trump’s policies.

Sanders said the U.S. “faces some very difficult challenges” while urging the crowd that “the future of what happens to America is dependent upon your generation.”

“Now you can turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do it at your own peril,” Sanders continued.

“We need you to stand up to fight for justice. To fight for economic justice, social justice and racial justice.”

Watch:

In a post on X after the appearance, Sanders wrote:

“Thank you, Coachella,” adding, “The younger generation has to help lead in the fight to combat climate change, protect women’s rights, and build an economy that works for all, not just the few.”

What a fraud.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday addressed the contrast in transparency between the Trump and Biden administrations, particularly regarding Joe Biden’s cognitive condition during his time in office.

Leavitt also took aim at members of the media for their role in what she described as a coordinated effort to downplay Biden’s mental decline. During a White House press briefing, Leavitt fielded a question about President Donald Trump’s upcoming annual physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

She assured reporters that the White House would release updates from the physician once the examination was completed. The exchange took a turn when a reporter brought up the issue of transparency in relation to the previous administration.

That prompted Leavitt to criticize both the Biden administration and members of the press for failing to address the issue of Biden’s declining mental acuity while he was in office.

“I can tell you there was certainly a lack of transparency from the former president, from the entire former administration, and frankly, a lot of people in this room when it came to the health and the competence of the former President of the United States, Joe Biden,” Leavitt said.

She went on to characterize the collective effort to obscure Biden’s cognitive condition as “one of the greatest cover-ups, and frankly, political scandals this nation has ever seen.”

Leavitt also commented on recent revelations published in books written by journalists who previously downplayed or ignored signs of Biden’s cognitive issues.

“It’s been unraveled in some recent books that are being written by journalists who engaged in that cover-up and scandal, which is quite ironic,” she noted.

Though she did not name specific individuals, the remarks appeared to reference reporters who once dismissed concerns about Biden’s mental sharpness.

Some, like CNN’s Jake Tapper, had previously suggested that criticism of Biden’s verbal gaffes or memory lapses was merely an attack on his stutter.

In recent weeks, Leavitt has also raised the issue of potential transparency surrounding Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Biden.

When asked earlier this week whether the Trump administration would consider releasing audio recordings of that interview, Leavitt responded, “I don’t have an update on that, but I can certainly check. I think the American people would be quite interested to hear that tape, but I’ll double-check on the release of it.”

Leavitt has become known for challenging members of the press to pursue accountability with equal rigor across administrations.

In a previous exchange with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, Leavitt questioned whether Biden had knowingly used an autopen to sign official documents, including pardons.

“Was he aware of his signature being used on every single pardon?” she asked.

When Collins countered by asking for evidence, Leavitt replied, “You’re a reporter; you should find out.”

At Friday’s briefing, Leavitt emphasized that President Trump remains active and engaged, noting that reporters who have covered him “know from covering [Trump], it’s hard to keep up with him.”

She added, “He is a machine working around the clock every single day, and the physician, after today’s physical, will provide an update on the report in the effort of transparency.”

Leavitt’s remarks come as new information continues to emerge from inside the Biden administration.

One recent book revealed that Kamala Harris’s team reportedly maintained a “death-pool roster” of federal judges who could take emergency action if Biden were to die in office.

The report has added fuel to ongoing concerns about the lack of transparency surrounding Biden’s health during his presidency.

As questions of competency and openness dominate the headlines, Leavitt’s call for equal scrutiny across political lines signals a continued push from the Trump administration for accountability—not just from political opponents, but from the press corps covering them.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s visit to the FDA made headlines as he schooled employees on everything from past CIA experiments, mind control and the Deep State.

Kennedy, who also warned FDA employees against becoming “sock puppets” of the industries they regulate, didn’t hold back.

“Because of my family’s commitment to these issues, I spent 200 hours at Wassaic Home for the Retarded when I was in high school,” Kennedy said, referencing the Wassaic State School for the Mentally Retarded in Wassaic, New York.

“So I was seeing people with intellectual disabilities all the time. I never saw anybody with autism.”

Kennedy’s remark unnerved several FDA employees, who misheard and thought he was making a derogatory comment about people with intellectual disabilities.

“President Trump always talks about the Deep State and the media, you know, disparages him and says that he’s paranoid,” Kennedy said, according to a transcript and audio via Politico.

“But the Deep State is real. And it’s not, you know, just George Soros and Bill Gates and a bunch of nefarious individuals sitting together in a room and plotting the, you know, the destruction of humanity.”

Kennedy said that “every institution that’s created by human beings” is inevitably captured by powerful interests.

He then vowed that the Department of Health and Human Services would not be subjected to undue influence and would listen to “dissidents.”

“All of us are subject to those gravities of agency capture,” Kennedy said, calling on the audience to “be conscious of that gravity because it’s going to be pulling you every single day of your career. We want to break away from this so we can make our kids healthy.”

The speech sent many FDA staffers reeling, which was undoubtedly the point.

HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said in a statement that Kennedy was “telling the truth that many Americans already know: for too long, the FDA has been captured by the very industries it is supposed to regulate.”

“Calling this out and encouraging radical transparency is not controversial — it’s leadership,” Nixon said.

“The era of rubber-stamping and silence is over.”

Last week, Kennedy culled around 10,000 employees, vowing that HHS would find ways to “do more with less.”

“This whole generation is damaged,” Kennedy said.

“The information is out there,” he said. “But those studies aren’t done because they may offend the financial interests of powerful entities.”

Kennedy also referenced the CIA’s MK-Ultra Project — the infamous human experimentation program from the 1960s — in what appeared to be both a warning and an effort to encourage FDA employees to align with his agenda to Make America Healthy Again.

A new tell-all book, Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House, continues to expose shocking details about Joe Biden’s declining health during his re-election campaign.

The book sheds light on several troubling incidents, including one where Biden’s handlers had to use fluorescent tape on the floor to prevent him from wandering off during a speaking engagement, just days before the 2024 election.

In one particularly concerning moment, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) encountered Biden, only for the former president to seemingly fail to recognize the congressman.

According to the book, Swalwell had to remind Biden of who he was, even providing personal details to jog his memory.

While Swalwell may not be the most high-profile politician, he had been a visible figure within the Democratic Party for over a decade, having met Biden several times.

The incident, however, was not reported at the time, as the priority for Biden’s inner circle was to maintain the cover-up.

As the book continues to reveal, Biden’s physical decline was also masked in public appearances.

One of Biden’s former aides disclosed that a makeup artist was used to hide the toll his deteriorating health had taken on his appearance.

These efforts, including using makeup for Zoom calls, became necessary as Biden’s condition worsened.

This effort to cover up his physical decline gained more attention after an incident at the G7 Summit, when Biden wandered off during a photo-op.

Conservative outlets like RedState were quick to report the incident, only for the White House and mainstream press to accuse them of spreading “cheap fakes.” Despite the cover-up, these troubling details are now coming to light.

Jill Biden, however, remained fully supportive of her husband’s re-election bid.

According to the book, she was “a thousand percent” behind his campaign, regardless of the mounting concerns about his physical and cognitive state.

“At the end of the day, I don’t think anyone in that inner circle was presenting the president any contrary advice that this thing is not going to be easy or maybe this is not the best thing for the Democratic Party,” a source close to Biden’s campaign said.

Jill Biden’s unflinching support comes as little surprise to those familiar with her time as First Lady.

Her tenure has been marked by ambitious moves and a lifestyle seemingly centered around enjoying the high life funded by taxpayers.

However, she was not the only one driving the push for re-election. Many of Biden’s top advisors were equally invested in maintaining their positions of power.

The book describes the scene in the White House as a kind of “Weekend at Bernie’s” situation, with Biden’s inner circle reportedly deceiving the American people to protect their own interests.

It wasn’t until Biden’s disastrous debate performance that the public began to question the viability of his re-election campaign.

Despite the growing body of evidence concerning Biden’s decline, the media and political insiders continued to downplay the situation.

Administration officials frequently assured the public that Biden remained mentally sharp and fully capable of serving another term.

They brushed off his occasional stumbles as simple mistakes, even though his public gaffes were frequent and alarming.

The reality, however, is that Biden’s cognitive decline was far more severe than they were willing to admit, and by 2024, many wondered why he was still being allowed to attend public events at all.

While the release of tell-all books like Fight provide insight into the behind-the-scenes cover-ups, there is frustration that no one involved will face any consequences.

Questions linger about why figures like Rep. Swalwell didn’t speak out at the time, or why Biden’s staffers weren’t held accountable for their role in perpetuating the deception.

Many of these staffers have already moved on to new positions, despite their involvement in what could be the biggest presidential scandal of modern history.

As these revelations continue to unfold, one can’t help but wonder what else has been concealed—and what will be allowed to slide under the radar in the future.
