✈️ Sky-High Hypocrites: Davos Elites Hit Turbulence over Love of Private Jets

The globalist elites and their private jets are now landing in Davos, Switzerland, for yet another World Economic Forum (WEF) built on a week of fine dining and billionaire back slapping in luxurious surrounds – with a few meetings in between.

As they do they’re drawing contempt for their hypocrisy as elsewhere mere mortals are hectored to stop their own use of regular commercial air travel in the name of saving the planet.

More than a thousand private jets delivered dignitaries to last year’s summit in the plush Swiss holiday resort, a Greenpeace study revealed on Friday, and the sheer volume of flights generated four times the carbon dioxide emissions such aircraft would create in an average week, according to the report.

Greenpeace released the analysis, conducted by Dutch consultancy CE Delft, ahead of this year’s round of moneyed self-congratulation which begins tomorrow.

“Europe is experiencing the warmest January days ever recorded and communities around the world are grappling with extreme weather events supercharged by the climate crisis,” Klara Maria Schenk, transport campaigner for Greenpeace in Europe, said in a statement.

“Meanwhile, the rich and powerful flock to Davos in ultra-polluting, socially inequitable private jets to discuss climate and inequality behind closed doors,” Schenk added, noting the WEF has long warned of impending doom because of the “world-wide disaster” of climate threats.

Of all the 1,040 private jets studied, 53 percent were for short-haul trips less than 466 miles, while 38 percent were under 311 miles, according to the report.

Greenpeace accused attendees of “ecological hypocrisy” before asking just why the WEF claims it is committed to the global goal of keeping warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) when the emissions generated from all the private jets flying in and out of airports serving Davos last year were equivalent to those produced by about 350,000 average cars for a week.

Not that this is the first time the privileged Davos members have been accused of hypocrisy, demanding others change their ways while they board their luxury private jet transport.

The 2023 WEF meeting has a self-proclaimed goal of tackling the climate emergency and other “ongoing crises” and has called for “bold collective action.”

Private jet flights are not regulated in the E.U., but they are the most polluting mode of transport per passenger kilometre.

The French government has already banned short haul commercial flights where “green alternatives ” are available and New Zealand may follow soon.

💭 Storms and tornadoes caused extensive damage to several communities across the U.S. Southeast on Thursday, including in Alabama, where at least 25 tornadoes were reported, according to the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center.

At least six fatalities have been confirmed in Autauga County, Alabama, located in the central part of the state, Emergency Management Director Ernie Baggett told Weather.com. “The best we can tell is about 40 homes have major damage or have been completely destroyed,” Baggett added.

The county’s coroner, Buster Barber, told CNN that emergency workers are still searching for bodies.

In Selma, officials called the city a “disaster area” as a high-end EF2 or EF3 tornado rolled through and lifted debris at least 16,000 feet up into the air, WSFA 12 reported. The storm was also reported to have caused major damage to roads and vehicles in the city.

Selma officials have enforced a curfew extending from dusk to dawn Thursday night.

No fatalities have been reported in Selma, but multiple people have been injured. The tornado also hit the Dallas County Jail, and inmates are currently being transferred to other counties’ facilities in the state, according to WSFA 12.

💭 Lisa Marie Presley Shared Remarks At Elvis Presley’s 88th Birthday At Graceland four Days Before Her Death.

Lisa Marie Presley thanked enthusiastic supporters for traveling from around the world to visit the King of Rock ‘n Roll’s personal home.

Days before Lisa Marie Presley passed away Thursday, Jan. 12, she attended an event at Graceland in Memphis to honor her father, Elvis Presley, for what would have been his 88th Birthday Celebration.

During her brief remarks at the estate, she thanked enthusiastic supporters and applauded their willingness to travel from around the world to visit the King of Rock ‘n Roll’s personal home.

“It’s been a while; I missed you,” Presley opened her remarks Sunday.

After a member of the audience shouted, “We love you, Lisa,” she responded: “And I love you.”

“I keep saying you’re the only people that can bring me out of my house. I’m not kidding,” Presley added, drawing a laugh from those in attendance.

“Today, he [Elvis Presley] would have been 88 years old. That’s hard to believe,” his daughter said. “I think that he would be proud.”

She also commented on the film “Elvis,” released in 2022, to much fanfare. Austin Butler (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” “The Dead Don’t Die”) played the titular role in the musical drama that showed the star’s childhood and his rise to fame in the 1950s.

The film also starred Tom Hanks, who played Elvis’ manager, Colonel Tom Parker.

“I think the movie was incredible,” Presley said Sunday, Jan. 8. “I am very proud of it and I hope you guys are too.”

The soft-spoken Presley also said she “really appreciated” how people “come from all over the world” to visit Graceland and honor her father.

“It’s moving to me and my family. Thank you,” she said before waving to the crowd and exiting the stage.

💭 Americana Music Triangle to Map Home of Roots Music

👉 Courtesy: USATODAY

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — The music that changed the world started as the music of slaves, plowboys and outlaws in five states along the Mississippi River.

Today, that roots music carries a host of names, such as Americana, which Grammy-winning songwriter Rodney Crowell can define succinctly, if a bit mysteriously.

“I always say when people ask me, ‘What is Americana music?’ ” said Crowell, who is an Americana Music Association board member, “I would say it’s poetry driven.”

It is the poetry of hardscrabble lives encompassing blues, folk and rock ‘n’ roll.

Now, Leiper’s Fork businessman and musician Aubrey Preston and the Franklin-based Americana Music Association are launching the Americana Music Triangle — an ambitious, multistate tourism venture they hope can pull the different styles, stories and places under one umbrella for the sake of musical preservation and economic development.

Preston, who helped create the statewide Discover Tennessee Trails and Byways program, believes a musical- and cultural-based trail program could be a boon for tourism across the Deep South. If successful, its impact could be felt along the three points of the triangle — from Broadway in Nashville to Beale Street in Memphis to Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

Russia Says It Shot Down a UFO | ምንነቱ የማይታወቅ በራሪ አካልን መትታ መጣሏን ሩሲያ አሳወቀች

🛑 A mystery object described by one local news outlet as a “UFO” has been shot down in the southern Russian region of Rostov.

Vasily Golubev, the governor of Rostov oblast, wrote on Telegram that a “small-size object in the shape of a ball” had been discovered flying “in the wind” at an altitude of around one and a half miles on January 3. With the object spotted above the village of Sultan Sala in the region’s Myasnikovsky district, Golubev said “the decision was taken to liquidate it.”

“I urge everyone to remain calm. To ensure security, all forces and means are involved. The sky is covered with anti-aircraft defenses,” he added, without specifying what the object was.

In reporting his comments, local news outlet Pivyet Rostov carried a headline that said “a UFO in the form of a ball was shot down in the sky.”

Telegram channels that night described how air defense systems in Rostov had been operating. The channel Ostorozhna, Novosti (Caution, News) published a video showing a shining object flying and then exploding in the sky.

“Look, another one has gone,” someone is heard saying in the clip, which was captioned, “another video of the work of Rostov regional air defenses.” A witness told the channel how “there was a very strong explosion” and that “everything in the house shook. We realized that the air defenses were in operation.”

Newsweek has contacted the governor’s office for further comment.

Rostov borders the Sea of Azov, which is connected to the Black Sea by the Strait of Kerch, a strategic location for both sides of the war in Ukraine. Since the start of Vladimir Putin’s invasion, the oblast near Ukraine has been subjected to regular shelling and drone attacks.

In October, Rostov was named as one of six Russian regions and two annexed regions in which Putin introduced a “medium-response level” to the threats posed by the war. This includes restrictions on movement and strengthening public order measures.

He also announced a “maximum response”—effectively martial law—on the four regions he claimed to have annexed but does not fully control; Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos have both reportedly invested in Synchron, a new brain-computer interface startup that aims to compete with companies like Elon Musk’s Neuralink.

Bloomberg reports that in March of last year, Tom Oxley, an expert in brain-computer interfaces, had dinner with Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, to discuss Oxley’s newly established company, Synchron Inc. During the dinner, which took place in Ojai, California, Bezos expressed interest in investing in the business.

On Thursday, Synchron announced that it had completed a funding round of $75 million, with Bezos Expeditions contributing a portion of the investment. The round was led by ARCH Venture Partners and included investment from Gates Frontier, the venture capital branch of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, as well as other investors. In addition, several previous investors, including Khosla Ventures and its founder, Vinod Khosla, who introduced Oxley to Gates, also participated in the funding round.

Brain-computer interfaces, also known as BCIs, have the potential to interpret and stimulate certain areas of the brain and are being explored as a possible treatment for brain injuries. According to Oxley in an interview, the new investors approached Synchron “through the lens of making an impact in neurology in an area of need.” Oxley estimates that approximately 100 million people worldwide have upper limb impairment and could potentially benefit from this technology.

This funding brings Synchron’s total funding to $145 million, making it one of the highest-funded companies in the brain-computer interface (BCI) space, according to research firm Pitchbook. While it may be behind companies such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink Corporation and Max Hodak’s Science Corp. in terms of fundraising, it is still far ahead of many other BCI companies. This is a significant achievement, especially considering the costly process of getting BCIs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Synchron has already enrolled three patients in a U.S. trial, with two of them receiving the implant. Oxley expects the remaining patients to enroll and receive their implants in the coming months. Over the course of a year, doctors will observe these patients and report their findings to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the past, the FDA granted Synchron “breakthrough” status, which streamlined the approval process for the company.

Elon Musk claims that Neuralink is also close to human trials.

💭 Selected Comments:

• We’re just expendable pawns in their game of wanting to play God.
• Not going to happen, I belong to God, and that will never change. Satan & his followers will be put down in the end. Read Revelation, if you don’t believe me, it’s pretty clear of what is to come.
• The Globalist who like to play God all need to be Terminated! Starting with Gates!
• Yep! Take the mark of the beast chip and be their controlled Puppet!
• Today, the brain chip is supposed to help people with brain damage – (Democrats).

💭 McDonald’s – Statistics & Facts

👉 Courtesy: Statista Research Department, Nov 23, 2022

McDonald’s is a quick service restaurant (QSR) chain based in the United States. It was founded in California in 1940 by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald. Eventually, it was transformed by a production line system that rolled out burgers in a quick service style. This was the start of the company’s “McDonaldization”, a phrase coined by sociologist George Ritzer, meaning that the company prioritized efficiency, calculability, predictability, standardization, and control. Today, this type of system is not only used in many QSRs but also for a variety of other institutions and organizations. Ultimately, this method of operating has allowed McDonald’s golden arches to become a familiar spectacle in towns and cities all over the world. In 2021, there were over 40 thousand McDonald’s restaurants globally a figure that has grown year-over-year for the past decade.

Where are McDonald’s biggest markets?

The quick service behemoth operated and franchised by far the largest proportion of restaurants in its home country. In 2021, the number of McDonald’s restaurants in the U.S. reached 13.4 thousand. When looking at the countries with the most McDonald’s in Europe, France (including Monaco) took the top spot, accounting for 1.5 thousand units. Meanwhile, China had the most McDonald’s restaurants in the Asia Pacific and Middle East regions. The United States was also one of McDonald’s biggest markets in terms of revenue. In McDonald’s regional revenue breakdown, the U.S. accounted for roughly 8.7 billion U.S. dollars in revenue in 2021. Meanwhile, internationally operated markets such as Australia, France, Canada, and the UK made the largest overall contribution to McDonald’s total revenue, with a sum of 12.09 billion U.S. dollars. In total, McDonald’s revenue reached 23.22 billion U.S. dollars in 2021.

Is McDonald’s the biggest fast food brand?

Given its global reach, large number of units, and high revenue it is perhaps no surprise that in 2022 McDonald’s placed in the Forbes top 100 largest global companies in terms of market capitalization. Furthermore, when looking at a ranking of the biggest global QSRs by brand value McDonald’s came out on top. With a brand value of almost 155 billion U.S. dollars in 2021, McDonald’s surpassed other QSR chains by a large margin. Coffeehouse chain Starbucks was its closest competitor; however, Starbucks’ brand value was significantly smaller than McDonald’s.

Digitalization of McDonald’s

McDonald’s has more than a couple of famous menu items, some of which are the “Happy Meal”, the “McFlurry”, and the “Big Mac”. The price of the “Big Mac” is also used as an indicator for the purchasing power of an economy through the “Big Mac Index” – published annually by the Economist since 1986. Not only does McDonald’s provide the option of buying these items in-store and via the drive thru, but the company also provides home delivery. McDonald’s initially rolled out its “McDelivery” service in 1993 which has since developed into partnerships with online delivery services such as UberEats and DoorDash. In recent times, the food delivery market has moved increasingly online and in 2027 the global revenue of the online food delivery market was forecast to reach 223.7 billion U.S. dollars. This online market became essential to restaurants during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, where lockdown and social distancing measures meant that people were unable to order in-store.

💭 A video has now gone viral online showing President Salva Kiir Mayardit of South Sudan urinating on himself while reciting the National Anthem at a public function, to the dismay of his aides, officials and military officers nearby.

President Salva Kiir, aged 71, has been the president of the troubled northeast African country since its founding in 2011 and has continued to preside over a protracted conflict which has kept the country underdeveloped, with about 82 per cent of its citizens in abject poverty.

👉 This is another warning to the genocidal Galla-Oromos who would like to sing their fascistic anthem and wave the ‘Egyptian’ flag in Ethiopia.

💭 Why President Kiir skipped Biden’s invite to US-Africa Summit

South Sudan has defended President Salva Kiir’s move to snub an invite by his US counterpart, Joe Biden, for a summit bringing together close to 50 African heads of state.

While other African leaders opted for the historic visit, President Kiir was locked up in a busy schedule on Monday, where he commissioned the first phase of the 63- kilometre Juba-Terekeka Road in Lakes State. Kiir sent a team of diplomats, headed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Mayiik Ayii Deng, to attend the summit on his behalf.

In an exclusive interview with The City Review yesterday, Deng Dau Deng, the deputy minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation, said the head of state delegated the duty to Mayiik to allow him (President Kiir) to attend to more pressing national duties.

“His Excellency the President is in charge of issues internally, and he was not here (in Juba) yesterday, he was launching the road, which was more crucial to the people of South Sudan than just a summit of America where we will go and listen to sanctions and all those kinds of things,” Deng said.

Kiir, like his other African counterparts, was acting in good faith, according to Deng, by sending a representative to the summer.

“It (summit) is not a classroom, we have several heads of state and government that have not gone for that particular summit (US-Africa leaders’ summit),” he explained.

He added, “It depends on our national interest, and South Sudan has sent a foreign affairs minister who is equally important as the rest of African nations whose heads of state and government have not attended that particular conference.”

He argued that President Kiir was busy spearheading the implementation of the peace agreement, which is long overdue, and “South Sudan should concentrate on their own issues” and not spend much energy on “the international conferences.”

“It is not a must that all the heads of state and governments in Africa attend,” he added.

Deng said that there were still upcoming conferences such as France-Africa Summit, the Turkey-Africa Summit, the Japanese-Africa Summit, and the Russia-Africa Summit that President Kiir could still attend.
