The World Economic Forum’s army of global shapers were named for this year. The 2022 WEF Army of Global Shapers includes Ukraine’s Minister Of Digital Transformation Fedorov. Another added to the other leaders around the world that are using destructive strategies to shape the world they want. Mikhailo Fedorov is the Vie Prime Minister of the Ukraine. The key leader of Ukraines WEF digital revolution.

Volodymyr Zelensky at the WEF DAVOS Forum’ gathering in the very wealthy Swiss ski resort in 2020 announced that “Ukraine would be the very first nation to implement a massive ID system in Ukraine, a social credit type system all in one digital wallet. Millions of US dollars flowed  into Ukraine, which far exceeded $63 million in crypto donations. One must question “Is/was Ukraine the vanguard for the WEF’s ‘Great Reset’?

After all Fedorov Ukraine’s Digital Transformation Minister, Ukraines Vice Prime Minister did “by 2024 we will  have 100% of all government services available online” and that”our goal is to enable all life situations with this Digital ID”. In a panel discussion Fedorov openly stated that “the governments goal is to create a digital ID where within 3 years this would make Ukraine the most convenient state in the world by operating as a digital service provider”. Saying, that  “President Zelensky has tasked our ministry within 3 years to create one of the most convenient states in the world in terms of the state as a service provider”. The Ukrainian Parliament adopted a draft law making Ukraine one of the first countries to legalize E-Digital Passports and Digital ID’s that are accessible in all life situations.

Fedorov said “When it comes to winning trust in the government, then run digital ID scheme, in other words when there is no other choice but digital ID then there is no other choice than to  trust technology” He added “The pandemic has accelerated Ukraine’s Govt progress with their digital transformation, as people are now demanding online digital services, so they trust them. Fedorov said “We have to make a product that is so convenient that it will disrupt peoples stereotypes, break though their fears therefore we started using a government made application. We allow a person to register a business in 3 clicks, we allow them to pay their taxes in 2 click, no matter how sceptical citizens are they will use our service” Fedorov said.

Fedorov ambitiously wanted to make Ukraine a digital transformation leader globally. Fedorov introduced ‘Diia-ID 2.0’. This includes an Identification Card, Foreign Biometric Passport, Student Card, Drivers License, Vehicle Insurance Policy, Tax Number, Birth Certificate, IDP Certificate, E-Passport, a huge Ukraine Govt Digital Transformation project. Fedorov’s ambition was and is to make Ukraine a world champion in digital leadership referencing Ukraine’s  Diia ID 2.0 included in this are ID Card, Foreign Biometric Passport, Student Card, Drivers License, Vehicle Registration Certificate, Vehicle Insurance Policy, Tax Number, Birth Certificate, IDP Certificate, Vaccination Certificate. This is an extremely large scale governmental digital Identification project.

To promote Diia (digital services) among the Ukraine population, Fedorov the Minister Of Digital Transformation launched the Diia Digital Learning project to teach digital competency to 6 million Ukrainians by 2024. Fedorov has boasted that his country is (no longer of course) the world leader in digital transformation in the public sector. Chandran Nair is a WEF entrepreneur, president of the ‘World Institute of the Future’ noted that “the world is moving towards a post western order and Ukraine is a big part of this” Klaus Schwab has publicly reported  “he will help Ukraine in whatever was possible when it comes to Russia’s aggression”

The WEF unveiling of the worlds most promising 110 global leaders of 2022, those under the age of 40years old, were those involved in activities from ‘green energy’, health equity’ to refugee rights and education reform. Mykhailo Fedorov, was named as a WEF Global Shaper of 2022. Another one of Klaus Schwab’s global army that’s been sent out to transform the world into one humongous Marxist Socialist planetary Eco-social credit system, much bigger and more aggressive than China’s. Ukraine Minister of Digital Transformation-Fedorov yet  another name to add to the Schwab’s WEF army of Global Shapers along with Putin, Macron, Trudeau and Ardern . 1,000’s of WEF Global Shapers in 120 countries. Be aware of the words- Equitable, 2.Equality, Sustainability, Inclusiveness. The Global Shapers global network was created in 2005 by Klaus Schwab founder of the WEF

These WEF Global Shapers are reported on the WEF website that they are were seen  to be the young leaders that would create a more sustainable, inclusive world.  As annual Global Shapers are chosen they take part in a three year leadership programme, this includes opportunities to collaborate and test ideas with a network of peers. As the war was started between Russia and Ukraine, Fedorov campaigned for supports from multinational companies and corporations so as to get rid of Russia from the global economy, cut Russia off from the worldwide internet.  New York Times reported that Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation, Fedorov has turned technology and social media into modern weapons of war” It was reported back in June 2019 (21st June) that the Presidential administration of the Ukraine held discussions on the concept of a ‘State Smart Phone’, as one of the most important components of the digital economy.

Attendees at the June 2019 gathering were representatives of International donors & technical assistance projects including that of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine, the Swedish Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and the Swiss Cooperation Office (SDC) and others.It was at this 2019 meeting that Ukraine presented a large digital action plan to its international partners, a basic framework for the digital economy from digital infrastructure to digital skills and the implementation of digital transformation projects, regarding e-services, we have clearly described typical life situations, births, admission to kindergarten, school, university, obtaining a passport, a drivers license registration of a car, real estate, land, marriage etc., etc.,  “A state smartphone being an opportunity to solve all situations in just one click, the same applying to business situations. Also included are online surveys

The Deputy Head of E-Governance of Ukraine stated “by the end of this year (2019) we can implement 70 new top e services that will be prioritized, a convenient e-services portal and a mobile application.With the support of Ukraine’s International partners mobile applications- MobileID and SmartID. Representatives at the June 2019 meeting made recommendations to prioritize projects of digitalization. They discussed the adoption of laws to harmonize the Ukraine Digital Law with European Digital Law, thus paving the way to a single digital European market which would include a reform of the security system in Ukraine. Also formalising a digital universal education service

In the 2019 gathering they discussed the creation of an electronic register of the population, with the use of existing state registries- demographic, fiscal, medical, civil, registry of voters, thus allowing a National Identification System (E-ID) Fedorov noted that all the digital tasked projects of digital transformation had already been included in a single action plan and coordinated meetings following the 2019 one would become regular.  One must question– Is Ukraine’s Digital ID Wallet a World Economic Forum’s Blueprint for the West? Ardern is also implementing a Klaus Schwab Digitalization project on New Zealand- NZ a guineapig state. (Without your permission to do so)‘Reimaging AI Regulations’ (Digital Transformation)

WEF accesses and re-accessories NZ Police Force. 1 low to 7 high. Two years in a run 6.2 and 6.4. WHY?                             Is Ukraine’s Digital ID Wallet the WEF Blueprint for the West?

Prince Charles, now King Charles openly said at the WEF DAVOS gathering that ‘the pandemic global crisis is a narrow window of opportunity, one we may never see again”. I question does the same apply to the war between Russia and Ukraine- ‘Is this also one of those narrow opportunities, one never to be seen again”? WEF Website documents what they call ‘Disruptive Strategies’ and ‘Opportunities’. The turning of billions of lives across this planet upside down and inside out, where many people can hardly even think for themselves anymore.

A massive confusion, a psychological warfare. And the NZ Govt, all parties played their part in this destruction, confusion, fear, anxieties that people suffered, and are still suffering. I call this a Godless Evil that has violated, invaded NZrs lives.

3.As Helen Clark Co Chairs the World Health Assembly to give the World Health Authority extreme control of all living kind with an International Pandemic Treaty, to control humans, animals-domestic and in the wild, plants, soils etc., Yet they are already planning the next plandemic. Solution ‘NO’. The easiest word to say and the hardest one to action. NO NO NO NO- NO MORE.

I personally believe that an Eco Social Credit State is being introduced, implemented in NZ, firstly in a voluntary capacity and then will become mandatory in the very near future. Using the narrow window of opportunity, one we will never let them get away with. .Political control, eco social credit system. As the warning bells ring we must urgently seek solutions. Yes we must gain the knowledge of what is really happening. We must always seek the truth.  Ignore the ‘Build Back Better’ because its not building back better for NZrs. Its building back better for them to control you. It’s the Trojan Horse .I urge you don’t let any of those political cronies in the toilet bowl of Wellington hoodwink you.

Remember each leader of every political party in Wellington agreed to Ardern’s Labour Cross Party agreement not to listen to the fears, serious concerns of those that were mandated out of jobs, those that had been jabbed and seriously harmed. Those whose loved ones had died post jab. Not one of them would listen to one individual as to the tremendous grief our nation of NZ  was staring them right in the face in parliamentary grounds. Not one of those political cronies took any interest in one individuals life of thousands that visited and resided beneath the windows of parliament. These are those that are suppose to represent your health and wellbeing, economically, physically, emotionally, mentally and medically. It was A NO SHOW.

The mainstream media continued and still continue to bully beef law abiding citizens. Where is the core of ‘Common Law’ “DO NO HARM” destroyed by the political bullies of parliament enacted out in the judicial system of NZ. One could never have envisaged such large scale political policing of law abiding citizens. An unapproachable, unaccountable, irresponsible government in every aspect mentionable. The deliberate character assassination of NZ law abiding citizens  by a  political authoritarian Govt. A Government full of politicians that are willingly obedient, compliant to a non-elected global elite entities and national non elected entities. The people of NZ did not give them a vote. I believe this is highly criminal.

13th June, 2019 the UN signed an official partnership agreement with the World Economic Forum. The WEF that represents Multistakeholder Corporations. This surely is a massive conflict of interest. However none of these political cronies in Wellington will publicise this. WEF Influential whisper advisors to all UN Member countries. Again I ask myself -Is the war between Ukraine and Russia a massive catalyst where global stakeholders of the UN/WEF been busily engaging, promoting the PPP’s. People, Planet for massive Profit, for the few already wealthy global elite in Ukraine as they have been elsewhere in the world. Is Ukraine a special country on their agenda????? Questions???

As is reported those billionaires who have become much wealthier during the Pandemic era. NZ and significant rises in inflation- go back to January 2020 when the Reserve Bank warned the Govt that inflation would rise significantly if they did not stop printing off so much money. At one stage a billion dollars per day. It took Ardern’s Government, minister of Finance Grant Robertson 13 months to heed the warning.

Act, Maori Party, Greens, Labour, National are all on the same page, they all mandated the jabs. 10th Oct 2022 European Parliament. Chief Executer for Pfizer testified “we did not check if the Pfizer Vax stopped transmission of the virus before it was rolled out”. They did not do clinical trials on pregnant women, and clinical trials on children are ongoing.  Every member of Parliament promoted, pushed using New Zealanders as guineapigs in a politically controlled police state. They have never truly represented the people, they have represented their own pay cheque. Where far too many Kiwi’s have lost their pay check. 2023 will roll around, election year – Lest we forget, we should never forget. They too are but mortal (mortalis) for every and each mortal sin. God Save NZ. I will never ever vote any political party that resides in the toilet bowl of Wellington again. I have already decided to vote for the minor parties under the umbrella of Freedoms For New Zealand

4.More Power for the People and less Power to the political cronies that reside in the toilet bowl of Wellington. Its time for the Bill of Rights to be enshrined in a written constitution, one that will never be used and abused again as it has been over these last few years.

The preaching of Climate Change. Of course Climate like science is unsettled. However man made climate change, fart and belch tax.. come on people do you really believe this crap. This is an  Eco Social Credit System being introduced into NZ. Emissions trading scheme is a scam. Every living being, plant, animal, human and even the billion or so tree’s the state are going to plant must have CO2 to survive, otherwise this would be a dead end planet.

He Puapua, Three Waters, all in the toolbox to introduce, implement the United Nations Declaration for Indigenous peoples in NZ. Minister of Maori Affairs 2007 parliamentary speech totally opposed NZ Signing the UNDRIP. Said this would bring about a two class citizenship, one more worthy than another. Art 26. Iwi/Maori to own all land in NZ.

That’s not possible land is legally owned by Maori and Non Maori legally in NZ. And UNDRIP is not compliant with the Treaty or of NZ’s Legal System.

Now, the PM, and other political leaders meet with the Iwi Chairs Forum to implement the UNDRIP into every aspect of NZ Life. (Vision 2040). All political parties and their cohorts determining our lives for their common greedy interests. For political control over the lives of all New Zealanders.  I do am not fooled. I will never ever vote for any of them again.

I would prefer they were flushed down the loo, in the stinky political toilet bowl of Wellington, their propaganda machine that(Mainstream media) that wipes their stinky arses for them.

NO ONE- AND NO COUNTRY HAS TO START OF THE WAY THEY BEGAN THIS CAN BE CHANGED AND I URGE YOU TO GO TO THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE. SHARE THIS WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY AND NEIGHBOURS.

This new technology that’s transforming cities, societies, the New Urban Agenda. Algorithms are shaping the outcomes all over the place, our world and the world around us. The influence of Algorithms is massive as to influencing life itself.

Because people , governments, Organizations, groups can make any claim they want about what their Algorithm can or cannot do, but no-one can really stop them.  How do we know the benefits verses the risks of Algorithms, we do not.  Algorithms can be of great benefit in certain situations but in  situations where the State itself is the creator of these invisible pieces of code called Algorithms then we should be seriously concerned.

Algorithms are made up of small pieces of invisible code, so if these codes are invisble, why would you even believe the government, the creator of these algorithms when they report transparancy????

PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE:     THIS WILL TAKE YOU TO MY RUMBE VIDEO ON THIS  SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS BEING ACTED OUT BY THE  NZ GOVERNMENT

To leave no-one behind, everyone, everywhere at every age.

To create a one world system socialist blueprint, this is being implemented across government by all members of parliament in Central and Local Government. This is now appears to look like a socialist/ communist top down state of cultism a global socialist distribution of wealth and global governance being forced upon all populations across the world from every direction possible. Todays NZ Herald full page spread authored by the Consulate General of the Peoples Republic Party of China in Auckland (The CCP) titled in very large font heading ‘China’s Reforms Creates Opportunities For The World in changing the turbulent International Environment. Diversified Development opportunities proposing a Chinese Solution’ for the path to modernization.

Chinese characteristics based on its own Chinese characteristics for all peoples, inclusive global governance system all countries building a more open inclusive world. Embraced by the World Bank, Goldman Sachs, implementing China’ Socialist strategy through science and education. China (The CCP) will be working with NZ and other countries to inject impetus into the world economy.  hinese businessman courted mayors across NZ (Stuff NZ 16 June 2024) Foreign interference by China in New Zealand. Zhang Yikuns interests in befriending politicians went far beyond large donations to Labour and National Parties. He formed close relationships with Mayors across NZ, cultivating relationship on behalf of Chinese officials.

Phil Goff a former Labour Minister and Auckland Mayor was about to become NZ’s High Commissioner to the UK  and Eric Roy ex National MP, both signed Zhangs nomination for a Royal Honour, and formers Southland Mayor Gary Tong went on two trips to China with the businessman. Iwi/Maori Activist Tame Iti went on a trip with Tong and so did John Tamihere when Zhang was sentenced on a charge of obtaining by deception, in relation to $100,000 donation to the National Party made in June 2018. Of course the conviction was squashed by a Court of Appeal in November 2023.  Zhang cultivated relationships with influential leaders whom held prominent roles with organizations tasked to carry a united front, decades long strategy of the Chinese Communist Party to build influence and promotes its self interested ambitions. Thus the united front to promote the CCPs influence in NZ has been years in the making

NZ HERALD 8th August 2024 brings to the public’s attention  that China’s modern day reform working with NZ and other UN Nation State leaders to implement the accelerated Socialist Blueprint for a One World Global Governance.. westernized world with CCP characteristics. China’s strategy for governing countries over half of China’s population live in cities compared to 1/5th before China’s reform process. Luxon speaking at the podium of a joint news conference 13th June 2024 standing alongside him was visiting Chinese Premier Li Qiang  “China is a very important citizen in the global community plays a huge role in global issues as well as with Ukraine and Russia. Issues where I think China can actually play a significant role and needs to is as a significant major power in the world today”  says Luxon.

Luxon hoped to connect with President Xi Jinping in November at APEC and looked to go to China early next year. Luxon raised China’s joint Digital Economy Partnership Agreement.(Called the Auckland Principles). Revisiting NZ Parliamentary history. 14th June 2022 David Seymour as Speaker of the House (Beehive) “Moved that the House be gravely concerned about the severe Human Rights abuses taking place against Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, as David Seymour  sought serious debate in the House about this.

All political parties in the House agreed to participate in this serious debate. Saying we were elected by the people of NZ to debate freely and fearlessly, just so long as we do not offend the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It was said that “this is not a criticism of the country of China or of the Chinese People or our Kiwi Chinese neighbours. It is about the Chinese Regime, the Chinese Communist Party. A voice of conscience echoing out “Mr Speaker, our conscience requires that we support this motion. We know that a genocide is taking place. The evidence is voluminous, from multiple sources, and credible. Genocide does not require a war. It does not need to be sudden, it can be slow and deliberate, and that is what is happening here.

New Zealand and China both signed the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, in 1949. It gives an internationally agreed definition of genocide. Any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole, in part, ethnical, racial or religious group such as

(1) Killing members of that group  (2) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group  (3) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part. (4) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group. (5) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group… Not one but all of these occurring in Xinjian this is evidential according to multiple resources.

Also there has been a history of mass imposition of contraceptive devices upon Uyghur women, forced sterilization. The Parliaments of Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands have all passed motions condemning the Chinese Communist Party for genocide. Act Party stated “We may face the threat of losses for speaking our mind, but we face much greater danger if we do not”. However the Labour party watered down ACT Party’s China Genocidal parliamentary motion (4/3/2021 Stuff News)

The wording of genocidal was replaced by a motion with MPs confirming the description of the CCP committing genocide to ‘Possible Human Rights Abuses’ are occurring.  It was ACT Party  Brooke Van Velden who submitted the motion to Parliament for MPS to debate, which became extremely watered down and very blurry. All other parties supported the watered down version.

It is undeniable genocide has and is taking place in China by the CCP, and there is much suffering from horrific inhumane practices, more than a million people are estimated to be detained in camps (detention camps named re-education centres). Its not rocket science, can’t damage trade relations with China after all what is a million or so’s peoples human life of premature death, massive torture and million or so imprisoned. Again watering it down the UN Human Rights Council report in 2022 “the Chinese State MAY BE responsible for committing crimes against humanity”. After-all the CCP’s overall plans of building socialism with Chinese characterizes across the western world. Sustainable Development Knowledge Platform (UN) China’s remarkable achievements in implementing the 2030 Agenda are attributed to the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China. With the CCP realizing the Socialist modernization from 2020 through to 2035, a grand socialist blueprint of international global development

China’s global development initiative provides a blueprint that accelerates the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development worldwide. (The NZ across Government participation with CCP modernization westernized  blueprint of global socialist dictatorship with Chinese characteristics. NZ Govt and other UN Nation States builds China’s Socialism into leading the world to accelerate Ahenda 2030. A  Socialist Blueprint.

New Zealand Herald  8th August 2024 full page spread placed by the Consulate General of the Peoples Republic of China (The CCP Communist Party) titled  CHINA’S REFORM CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE WORLD. Chen Shijie, Consul General of the Peoples Republic Of China in Auckland located in Ellerslie Auckland. China’s vision for a New World Order. Agenda 2030 for global sustainable development for all nationalities to create a Socialist/communist world.

Its obvious that across all political parties there is no moral conscience, a wealth before health approach to globalization – UN Agenda 2030 official partnership between WEF/UN with the leading driver is the CCP a global Socialist/Communist One World Governance, with NZ MPs across the House puppets of implementing participating in this global strategy of massive surveillance of citizens and a westernized Chinese Socialist Social Credit System

A new agreement with the World Economic Forum gives multinational corporations influence over matters of global governance.

Harris Gleckman

Anew corporate and government marriage quietly took place last week when the leadership of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to partner with each other. While this MOU is proudly displayed on the WEF website, it is nowhere to be found on the UN website. The only indication on the UN website of this important new development is a picture of the pen used to sign the agreement, and two pictures of the signing ceremony.

One reason for this difference is that the UN’s corporate-centered Global Compact has received a good deal of bad press. Now the new WEF-UN agreement creates a second special place for multinational corporations inside the UN. There is no similar institutional homes in the UN system for civil society, for academics, for religious leaders, or for youth. It is hard to imagine a national government signing a similar formal partnership with one of its business organizations.

At the same time, the UN is under pressure from Donald Trump who wants to deconstruct the whole multilateral system. For Trump, dismantling the international system built after World War II is a companion piece to his domestic effort at deconstructing the administrative state. For the Secretary-General of the UN, the pact with the WEF may well be his effort to find new power actors who can support the current system, which is now celebrating its 75th anniversary, in the face of Trump’s onslaught.

On the other side, the WEF recently received significant public criticism after giving Hungarian Prime Minister Orban and Brazilian President Bolsonaro a warm welcome at its 2019 Davos gathering. This marriage may be seen as a way for the WEF to re-establish itself as part of the global governance center.

The timing and managing of public perceptions are not the only interesting aspect of this arrangement. In 2009, the WEF published a 600 page report entitled the Global Redesign Initiative, which called for a new system of global governing, one in which the decisions of governments could be made secondary to multistakeholder led initiatives in which corporations would play a defining role. In a sense this WEF study recommended a sort of public-private United “Nations” – something that has now been formalized in this MOU. The agreement announces new multistakeholder partnerships to deliver public goods in the fields of education, women, financing, climate change, and health.

The rather detailed MOU includes forms of cross organizational engagement up and down the UN structure. The MOU contains commitments that the Secretary-General himself will be invited to deliver a keynote address at the WEF annual Davos gatherings. His senior staff and the heads of the UN programmes, funds, and agencies will also be invited to participate in regional level meetings hosted by the WEF. It also contains a promise that the UN’s individual country representatives will explore ways to work with WEF’s national Forum Hubs. Aware of the mutual importance of public legitimacy each institution can provide for the other, the MOU also contains an agreement to cross-publicize their joint activities.

Besides the institutional blessing of the United Nations, what does the WEF get from the MOU? The scope of each of the five fields for joint attention is narrowed down from the intergovernmentally negotiated and agreed set of goals to one with more in line with the business interests of WEF members. So under financing, the MOU calls only for ‘build[ing] a shared understanding of sustainable investing’ but not for reducing banking induced instabilities and tax avoidance.

Under climate change, it calls for ‘ …public commitments from the private sector to reach carbon neutrality by 2050’, not actions that result in carbon neutrality by 2030 . Under education, it re-defines the Sustainable Development education goal to ‘ensure inclusive and equitable quality education’ into one that focuses on education to meet the ‘rapidly changing world of work.’ The MOU explicitly restricts the WEF from making financial contributions to the UN, which might have ameliorated the economic impact of some of Trump’s threat to the budgets of the UN system. At the same time, it avoids any commitment to reduce global inequality, to make energy affordable, to hold multinational corporations accountable for human rights violations, or even to rein in the behavior of the WEF’s firms that act inconsistently to the re-defined goals set out in the agreement.

All this joint work might have some practical good if it were not for three crucial elements: firstly, the agreement circumvents the intergovernmental review process; secondly, the agreement elevates multistakeholderism as the solution to the problems with the current multilateral system; and thirdly the proposed multistakeholder partnerships are not governed by any formal democratic system. Were the Secretary-General convinced of the wisdom of a UN marriage with the WEF, he could have submitted the draft MOU for approval by the member states. Instead, the Secretary-General joined the WEF in declaring in effect that multistakeholder groups without any formal intergovernmental oversight are a better governance system than a one-country-one-vote system.

All multistakeholder governance groups are largely composed of a self-selected group of multinational corporations and those organizations and individuals that they want to work with. They work without any common internal rule book to protect the views of all who might be impacted by the group. Participation in multistakeholder group is a voluntary undertaking. The drop-in-drop-out arrangements are antithetical to the UN’s efforts for 75 years to build a stable secure global governance system with a clear understanding of obligations, responsibilities and liabilities.

What is surprising is that by accepting this marriage arrangement with the WEF, the Secretary-General of the UN is marginalizing the intergovernmental system in order to ‘save’ it.
