Liberty Rings Out from the High Mountain

Quote:
Professor [of History at Harvard and senior fellow at the Hoover Institute] Niall Ferguson recommends that we take in the whole of the speech given by Argentina’s President Javier Milei yesterday to the assembled globalistas at Davos. Ferguson characterizes the speech as “a magnificent defense of individual liberty and the free market economy”.
These must have sounded like fighting words: “Today I’m here to tell you that the western world is in danger…because those who are supposed to defend the values of the west have been co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism, and therefore to poverty”. How do you say bingo in Spanish?

Comment:
He took an ordinary commercial flight to Switzerland. Splendid free-market defender, Milei! He told the World Economic Forum’s globalist authoritarian collectivists what they did not want to hear but badly needed to be told. They must have squirmed. I hope they did. I doubt, however, that any of them will be persuaded to reconsider their political and economic opinions, even by the best arguments an individualist capitalist can make. They did not reach their collectivist convictions by reason, to which they are not susceptible, so cannot be reasoned out of them.

I don’t know why they even invite leaders like Milei.
Trump spoke there once along the same lines.
None of these speeches ever make one iota of difference to their agenda. Is it just to put on a show that they are “balanced” or something?
They’re still going to go right on with their plans to turn the entire world into their own digitally controlled surveillance slave state, in which elections become a “quaint relic” of the past, according to Schwab.

This is an extraordinary speech, given in the lions’ den. Milei is proving to be a most remarkable and inspirational defender of the moral and intellectual underpinnings of our Civilization.
