Devious Davos: Escort Services “fully booked”as WEF begins

While solving the world’s issues, our world leaders also appear to be enjoying their “downtime”. Alongside the standard magic mushrooms, caviar and gold-leaf desserts, our world leaders are also enjoying the company of escorts. Fucking escorts!?!

The owner of a popular escort matching app in Switzerland has said “All local service providers are completely booked during the WEF week”. Unbelievable. This is what your tax is going towards fellas…

Tech
John Deere and Elon’s Starlink Partner Up

The two companies “entered into an agreement” on Tuesday. This partnership promises to provide high-speed internet to farmers across the US and Brazil by the summer of this year.

What these farmers need fast internet for? Fuck knows.

Commodities
Shell Suspends Red Sea Shipments of Oil

A string of attacks on vessels off the coast of Yemen have prompted Shell to suspend all Red Sea shipments indefinitely. This has come after two recent attacks on tankers travelling through the region. One was even directly hit by a missile.

Shell said they made the decision not only for the safety of crews, but also over concerns a successful attack could lead to a major spill.

Why the Houthis feel it necessary to take potshots random ships out at sea is unclear, but these fuckers sure aren’t going away anytime soon.

Covid-19
Fauci’s Old Boss Said Covid May Have Come From a Lab

Dr. Francis Collins, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) former director said that the theory Covid came from a lab in Wuhan is “not a conspiracy theory”. Big shock there. Good to see this dude is still Biden’s science advisor, eh.

What do you guys think? Seems pretty suspicious to me.

Politics
Putin Says US Elections Were Rigged By Postal Voting

Putin may have a point. Mail-in ballots have become all the more popular in recent years, especially following Covid. Since then, many politicians have contested election results and claimed the system is fraudulent.

Agent Orange (Trump) is of course a strong supporter of this claim, and it has become a theme in his 2024 presidential campaigns.

What Putin knows about the ins and outs of US mail-in ballots is unclear. Likely jack shit. He may have a point though…

Thank you 
That’s all Folks

Just one more day, one more fucking day…
