10 Reasons to Question the “Putin vs Davos” Narrative

Ryan Matters

The recent Russian invasion of Ukraine has garnered a lot of attention from both the mainstream and alternative media.

There are plenty of theories floating around about what’s really going on, the true reason behind the invasion and the true motives and allegiances of Russian President, Vladimir Putin.

Among this entangled mess of assertions, ill-conceived opinions and downright false assumptions is a certain theory that has gained traction in alt media circles, and that is the idea that Putin is some kind of saviour, and that his moves in Ukraine represent an attack against the Western, globalist elite.

When I first saw this claim circulating on the web, the immediate thought that came to my mind is that this must have originated with the QAnon crowd. You see, in the Q-niverse, Vladimir Putin is one of the good guys and he is given the same messiah status as the God-king himself, Donald Trump.

Many of the QAnon “decoders” are still very active online and they are the driving force behind the Russia-went-into-Ukraine-to-save-us-from-the-biolabs theory, itself a curious idea that seemed to have originated on Twitter, and was ardently censored before circulating widely in the alternative media.

Recently, Victoria Nuland, the US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, admitted that Ukraine houses “biological research facilities” and expressed concern that Russia would commandeer them. Um… Okay. Anyone else think this narrative seems eerily similar to the whole Covid lab-leak hypothesis?

In both cases, the theories have followed a similar life-cycle:

  1. Originated at the beginning of the event but exact origins unclear
  2. Widely promoted in alternative circles
  3. Heavily censored on social media and denounced by fact-checkers
  4. Finally accepted into the mainstream narrative

In my article on the Q phenomenon, I endorsed the idea that Q was actually a military intelligence Psy-op being run from within the Western intelligence establishment. This is an idea I derived from the excellent research of Bernard Grover, Joseph Farrell and Catherine Austin-Fitts.

Although ‘Q’ the entity hasn’t posted anything for over a year, I don’t believe that such a sophisticated operation merely vanished into thin air.

In fact, I have a hunch that the powers behind Q learned everything they needed to learn about how information circulates in alternative circles and are now using that data to “poison the well” as it were by subtly introducing bits and pieces of misinformation into the picture in an effort to infiltrate and discredit alternative media. However, that is a subject for another article altogether.

Suffice it to say that many people are pushing the idea that Putin is trying to fight back against the Western globalist elite, thereby implying he is NOT on board with the overarching WEF technocratic control agenda.

However, the facts seem to indicate otherwise. Here are ten reasons to question the “Putin vs Davos” narrative.

1. RUSSIA’S COVID VACCINE IS THE SAME AS THOSE IN THE WEST

Russia played along with the Covid-19 nonpandemic just like most other countries in the world. They even developed their own vaccine called “Sputnik V”.

The vaccine was created by the Russian Health Ministry’s Gamaleya Center, an institution that describes itself as “the world’s leading research institution”, yet doesn’t even have enough money to install an elevator!

Sputnik V uses an adenovirus vector to transport synthetic genetic material into cells, causing the cell’s machinery to manufacture the viral “spike protein” (so they say). Although different from mRNA technology, vaccines utilizing Adenovirus vectors are arguably still a form of gene therapy (“Ad” vectors have been used as gene delivery vehicles since the introduction of gene therapy).

So yes, Russia’s vaccine is based on the same transhumanist technology that all the other injections use. In fact, according to Gamaleya’s director, Alexander Gintsburg, there are no significant differences between Sputnik V and the adenovirus-based vaccine produced by the Oxford-AstraZeneca bunch.

Furthermore, in December 2020, Russia’s Gamaleya research centre signed a “memorandum of cooperation” with AstraZeneca, in the “fight against COVID-19”. Not only did Putin participate in the signing ceremony, he stated that he was

absolutely convinced that such an attitude towards partnership today can serve as a good, convincing example of combining scientific forces, technologies, investments for a common goal – to protect the life, health and safety of millions of people on the planet as a whole.”

(Let’s not forget the links between the Oxford-AstraZeneca researchers, the Wellcome Trust and the British eugenics society).

Putin himself has openly endorsed both Russia’s vaccine as well as their peculiar “intranasal vaccination” booster.

That brings us to the second point…

2. RUSSIA COLLABORATES WITH BIG PHARMA

The developers of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine have conducted join trials not only with AstraZeneca but with Pfizer and Moderna as well!

In October 2021 Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), said that he thought the Pfizer and Sputnik injections would be “a very successful combination”. One of Sputnik V’s lead developers also voiced his support for the rollout of foreign vaccines in Russia.

Just recently, this March, Russian pharmaceutical company R-Pharm applied for registration of the AstraZeneca Vaccine in Russia. This comes off the back of a new report published by the RDIF claiming amazing benefits from combining “Sputnik Lite” and the UK-Swedish AstraZeneca shot.

For more information on these two points, I highly recommend checking out Edward Slavsquat’s blog.

3. VACCINE PASSPORTS ARE MANDATORY IN RUSSIA

Russia was an early adopter of vaccination passports. By early 2021, residents were able to receive a Covid passport, proving their vaccination status. The passes contain a QR code that can be scanned at various venues and allow residents to receive discounts and other benefits.

The passports remained voluntary for some time, until, in November 2021, the Moscow Times reported that:

The Russian government said Friday it had submitted to parliament two bills that will introduce mandatory health passes to access restaurants and public transport, amid a new wave of coronavirus cases.”

According to the article, the new legislation was aimed at “boosting Russia’s sluggish immunization rates amid strong anti-vaccination sentiment”. Sounds familiar.

The measure is supposedly in place until June 1, 2022.

4. RUSSIA IS DEVELOPING ITS OWN CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY (CBDC)

This year the Bank of Russia began piloting their “digital ruble”, its version of a central bank digital currency. The central bank also called for a total ban on cryptocurrencies, stating that the digital ruble would become an alternative to decentralized coins.

Three banks in Russia are already supporting pilot transactions using their existing mobile app banking technology with nine more banks expected to join them soon.

If you’re unfamiliar with “central bank digital currencies”, they are a centralized form of digital, programmable money, issued and controlled by the central banks, allowing for complete surveillance across all transactions, giving the banks the ability to control who can spend what and where.

In other words, the introduction of CBDCs is a key part of the technocratic control grid that the WEF globalists seek to construct and Russia is fully on board with the plan.

5. RUSSIA’S COVID LOCKDOWN WAS JUST AS STRICT AS THE WEST’S

Like most countries around the world, Russia instituted a draconian lockdown as a measure to “fight” the Covid-19 “pandemic”. The initial lockdown began in April 2020 and lasted approximately six weeks.

Russia’s capital, Moscow instituted another lockdown in October 2021 and also ordered all unvaccinated citizens over 60 to remain home for four months. Four months!

Granted, Russia’s lockdowns haven’t been as long or as many as certain other countries. However, according to the Covid-19 Stringency Index, Russia’s Covid-19 measures were just as strict as their Western counterparts and sometimes more so.

In other words, Russia played along with the phoney pandemic narrative.

6. PUTIN HAS DECLARED SUPPORT FOR GLOBALIZATION AND AGENDA 21

Last month, Russia and China issued a joint statement on “international relations entering a new era and the global sustainable development”, in which they expressed support for globalization, Agenda 21, vaccines, pandemic control, financing for climate change, the digital economy and more.

Here are some key snippets from the report (emphasis added):

The ongoing pandemic of the new coronavirus infection poses a serious challenge to the fulfilment of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is vital to enhance partnership relations for the sake of global development and make sure that the new stage of global development is defined by balance, harmony and inclusiveness…”

In order to accelerate the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the sides call on the international community to take practical steps in key areas of cooperation such as poverty reduction, food security, vaccines and epidemics control, financing for development, climate change, sustainable development, including green development, industrialization, digital economy, and infrastructure connectivity.”

7. PUTIN IS CLOSE FRIENDS WITH HENRY KISSINGER

Russian President, Vladimir Putin has “long-standing, friendly relations” with former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

According to Kremlin Spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, Putin and Kissinger “communicate all the time”, taking the opportunity to  “discuss pressing international issues as well as exchange opinions on global perspectives”.

Apparently, Kissinger has been a frequent guest in Russia since Putin took over in 2000. In 2007, Putin appointed Kissinger to co-chair a bilateral “working group” aimed at improving US-Russia relations.

Kissinger and the team that accompanied him to Moscow were all high-level members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), one of the prominent Western “think tanks” leading the charge for a New World Order. Kissinger is also a member of the Bilderberg Group and the Bohemian Club.

8. PUTIN HAS TIES TO THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM

Putin has been attending events organized by the WEF since the early 1990s.

Just last year, WEF head Klaus Schwab invited Putin to give a special address at the WEF annual meeting (held in digital Davos).

During his address, Putin called for more testing and vaccines as measures to combat the coronavirus, stating that

It is essential to join and coordinate the efforts of the world in countering the spread of the virus and making the much needed vaccines more accessible. We need to help the countries that need support, including the African nations. I am referring to expanding the scale of testing and vaccinations.”

He then went on to emphasize the role of central banks in rebuilding global economies “affected by the pandemic”, in what was seemingly an endorsement of Schwab’s Great Reset agenda:

So, the key question today is how to build a programme of actions in order to not only quickly restore the global and national economies affected by the pandemic, but to ensure that this recovery is sustainable in the long run, relies on a high-quality structure and helps overcome the burden of social imbalances. Clearly, with the above restrictions and macroeconomic policy in mind, economic growth will largely rely on fiscal incentives with state budgets and central banks playing the key role.”

Schwab even claimed that Putin was a member of his “Young Global Leaders” program, graduates of which include Justin Trudeau, Angela Merkel, Tony Blair, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Emmanuel Macron.

However, apart from Schwab having said so, there is no other evidence to support this claim, and Putin would have been too old to join when the program was launched anyway.

So, did Schwab just make a mistake? The man is in his 80s so it’s understandable if he did, or was his slip a sign that the two share a rather close relationship? Putin did begin his WEF address with an intimate “Dear Klaus” after all…

9. PUTIN’S WAR IN UKRAINE IS ACCELERATING THE RISE OF CBDCS ALL OVER THE WORLD

Kit Knightly at OffGuardian recently published an article titled “Ukraine crisis accelerating rise of Central Bank Digital Currencies”, highlighting the fact that governments around the world are developing and trialling CBDCs.

As stated earlier, CBDCs would give the state absolute control by allowing them to track individual transactions, restrict people’s spending and ensure people only purchase goods and services that the state deems to be acceptable.

As Knightly rightly points out,

Western governments are currently declaring financial war on dozens of private citizens who have not been charged – let alone convicted – of any crime, just because of their nationality. It’s being done under the guise of “punishing dirty Russians”, but what can be done to an oligarch can be done to anyone.”

10. THE WAR IN UKRAINE IS AIDING THE GREAT RESET

Part of the globalist agenda is the destruction of the current economy, allowing for the introduction of a new economic system (the “Great Reset”), one based on CBDCs, surveillance and run by artificial intelligence.

As I said in a previous post,

“The elites dress it up with buzzwords and catch-phrases like “sustainable development” and “inclusivity”, but at the end of the day, the “great reset” is about the creation of a digital surveillance state run on artificial intelligence where we all transact with “central bank digital currencies” (that can be fully tracked and traced).”

Putin’s war in Ukraine is aiding this goal by helping to further destabilize the world economy and destroy the middle class (exactly what COVID was meant to do).

Sky News is reporting that an increase in food prices is “inevitable” due to the rising costs of fertilizer, animal feed and fuel, raising concern for food security in the UK. Likewise, the New York Times reported that “Russia’s war is raising gas prices and roiling financial markets”.

According to the article,

If the effective closing of Russian financial markets and rising commodity prices lead to a steeper stock market decline, or have other, unexpected consequences, the Fed will be in a tough place. It is moving toward tightening monetary conditions but might have to reverse itself and engage in another rescue operation, as it did in March 2020.”

This comes alongside predictions of a recession in Europe. And there are plenty of other reasons why this war favours the Great Reset agenda.

AN INCOMPLETE PICTURE

At this stage, the Russia-Ukraine situation is a minefield of conflicting narratives, disinformation and dodgy reporting.

All we can do is look at the facts and try to piece together a picture of what may be happening… and when we do, it’s rather clear that the “Putin vs Davos” narrative fails to hold up.

A few years ago in Uruguay I met a Russian/American woman with a heavy accent who is what I considered to be the brightest woman I ever met. She was really tuned in to what was going on. I asked her if she believed that Putin was part of the New World Order plans and she looked at me as if she couldn’t believe I was asking such a stupid question. Her answer “of course”. Most normies don’t get any of it, believing cancel, culture, an education system, that doesn’t teach anything but a degeneration of moral principles and gender fluidity, a governmental system (executive, legislative and judicial all corrupt and a religious institutions that are all captive and corporations like Pfizer and Military Industrial companies that dictate government policies.

This article is “That was Then” but is not really addressing “This is now” Sort of apples and oranges also. It doesn’t really address the DAVOS vs Putin narrative. Talks about things people should already be aware of. Not much use for this, but if your not aware of these things, then you are ignoring the “Trustem as far as you can throw him” thing.

Putin doesn’t rule Russia single-handedly. Regional powers passed their own mandates (including the Moscow Mayor). There are definitely a globalist faction in Russia but whether he is one of them, I’m not sure is clear. He has definitely had to work with them. Things will become clearer now that he is cutting ties with the West, thus reducing the influence of those with Western support in Russia. The vaccine passport legislation was suspended in January 2022. Coincidence? I haven’t seen data on Russian vaccine injuries. Sputnik is still not licensed in a number of countries – is that because it doesn’t do the same job as the West’s vaccines, or is it simply a financial tactic? Catherine Austin Fitts discussion with Karel van Wolfren is a must-see.

Naturally the narrative fails to hold up. Its because there is no such direct narrative in the first place. Trying to use current world events in an attempt to justify a thesis to an argument that does not exist is pure folly. In fact your article backs the absurdity up fairly well. Square peg in a round hold fits if your like the current group of degenerate politicians that are destroying the West’s economies for the sake of their hatred for Russia over a plot of land that is neither a member of NATO nor a member of the EU. The simple reality is that Ukraine represents a revolving door for laundering and misappropriating funds for the peasant class of politicians currently running the West. To further believe that an aging and degenerate like Mr.Schwab could run such an agenda over these corrupt and greedy politicos is another wet dream.… Read more »

How so? The article nfers that we are heading towards a global government, but is lacking in mentioning the fiscal unification process at all. WHO will be in control of a central and global currency? This is a contradiction of the article. Yes, the method is starting to become visible (biopolitical security state) but there is no mention of the resolution of global antagonism.

What a pointless article (with many factual errors). Putin has never said he is taking on “Davos”. First you erect a straw man and then you tear it down….

There is a whole history in the Donbass and Crimea that has little to do with Davos. It’s tempting to view Davos, MICIMATT, EU and NATO as one big blob and I am sure there are many interconnections but equally there are many powerful interests slugging it out, often at cross-purposes to each other.

Some of these points don’t seem valid to me – if read the list sanctions the EU are imposing on Russia it becomes clear that Russia has been excluded from all Western institutions including the world economic forum. In fact the western countries had already kicked Russia out from most of their organizations long before the war and were only imitating cooperations. Russia was pushed into the the war in Ukraine by the US and Britain- they would have avoided it if they could or they would have waited another few years for Ukraine fall apart from the inside. I do believe Russia has taken an anti-globalist position a long time ago. They have been preparing for complete western isolation – they are restructuring their economy to be self-sufficient, they will even restart building their own planes. I don’t doubt the intelligence of the Russian medical brains – they have… Read more »

Any of the topics are valid.. but it’s indeed incomplete. Klaus Schwab claims Putin a young new leader. But Mr. Putin was already past the maximum age once the YNL programme was created. However. He was attending occasionally the predecessor programme. What would have happened if Russia hadn’t cooperated in the “C19 P(l)andemic” ? Certain gov leaders leaders suddenly passed away, one barely survived barely a murder attempt. As of now, looking at a foreseeable future there is no one new world order. (At least not one with US lead) I see a new alliance raising but in the far east. The other demands like CBDC, Social Credit and other instruments. They re already on the dawn anyway (WEF or not WEF) and China has already imposed hefty control instruments. Western countries like it. So even if WEF not existed this will put in place.

Russia is fighting the GAE, the USA’s reaction is going to cost them their unipolar world order & Liberal Hegemony will end. Russia’s motivation is its own security but that’s irrelevant, every institution & political body I detest is against them. Their victory & the cataclysm that will ensue from the sanctions is a blow against my enemies. If you’re about to fight someone & a tiger pops up & kills them, you don’t ponder the tiger’s motivation, you just get gone while he chows down on your (former) enemy.

Thanks for the link.

The principal device used by Corbett in this video are two February 4th Joint Statements (one on US-Canadian Relations and another on Sino-Russian Relations) which use identical language. Although Corbett may have used this device as a piece of sarcasm to push the thesis of Russia-China complicity in the Great Reset, the fact is that based upon countless comments from viewers who have watched his video on many online platforms, including dozens of subscribers who wrote into me after having watched Corbett, these documents were both… Read more »

Ryan Matters does a sterling job of lining up the cons against the pros of Putin’s being apart from and against the Davos globalists. I wish he would write another article about whether Putin is/was pro- or con- the Russian ‘oligarchs’. This should be topical now, but no one seems to be addressing it. Is it not intriguing that Putin got rid of these ‘oligarchs’/thieves, but punished only one of them, Khodorkovsky. The rest were left to leg it, for fear of prosecution by Putin, but the ytook their enormous loot with them. They came mostly to Britain, where they were welcomed, and clearly prospered handsomely, having grown ever more oligarchic. Britain even defeated the Russian attempt to extradite Berezofsky: he was given British nationality. But now, the self-same ‘oligarchs’ are seeing their assets confiscated in Britain … for being Putin’s men! Eh? Was their flight from Russia a hoax,… Read more »

“They” are us. We are the ones faking the results of representative democracy.
Direct Democracy and elections via Sortition would considerably narrow false results and the miserable dictates of oligarchy.

I have no doubt that things would continue to go wrong 25% of the time, but it would still be better than having things go wrong 99% of the time…

Surely Ukrainian border guards would be letting everyone out, in fact the whole population needs to be liberated out of Ukraine. Emptying the country out is the only humane thing to do.

Hello Sophie – Admin 1: It is my belief that all critiques of “leadership” simply shift public dialogue away from where the public needs to focus effective civil efforts. Political pundits have been dissing and complaining about government misfeasance and malfeasance for over 100 centuries. It is a moot point.

Like all current “leaders” Putin is just another corporate gangster. I believe most readers coming to OffGuardian know this already. (For what it’s worth) I think public dialogue needs to shift dramatically, or the discussion only becomes self-fulfilling prophecy.

It matters not whether the system is corporate/capitalism, corporate/socialist or corporate/communistic. Extortion and control over civil freedoms is the prevailing economic conundrum made possible thru corporate dictate and organized crime syndicates.

‘On 16 December 2021, the 53rd meeting of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly adopted the draft resolution on “combating glorification of Nazism.” There were just two nations that voted against: The United States and Ukraine.

The Russian Federation has exploited the same Nazis as a means of justifying, in part, its attack on another sovereign nation. It is thus illegitimate for Russia to castigate Ukraine for being a Nazi regime’

I can’t understand your reasoning or logic.

If you know anything about recent european history, you might be aware of the systematic destruction and butchery inflicted on eastern europe,
especially the (then) Soviet Union, including the Ukraine by devotees of Nazism.
The whole episode was a nightmare for Russians and others that were considered as sub-human.

The “Great patriotic war” was literally a life or death struggle against evil.
Russians have no desire to see a repeat of those times.

The whole philosophy of Nazism is Evil.

There are still elderly survivors of that era to bear witness.

My manager said that we’ve had so much Ukraine coverage that they’re not telling us that the covid cases are getting higher and higher. (“They’re not telling us” but obviously someone is telling us as well as telling us that no-one is telling us!) Management also used the expression “dropping like flies” so the moronic bullshit is still percolating nicely.

Also there will apparently be a period of silence today to pay respect to the uncounted millions who have died from the deadly deadly.

What also bothers me with Putin are two more things: 1) Why to this day is Putin’s government silent about the Skripals, which were abducted in and by the UK – or have by now even been murdered by the British government or MI5! The Skripals were “disappeared” like people were some decades ago in Pinochet’s Chile and (a bit later) also in Argentine. Because of this there were mighty protests then in Europe and elsewhere against these dictatorships in Chile and Argentine. Why does Putin mention these crimes never once?? It’s not about whether he likes the Skripals. Sergey Skripal was a traitor and spied against Russia. But this “disappearing” him – it’s an egregious inhuman crime of a western country! And Julia Skripal it still a Russian citizen, she never did something wrong against Russia. She was engaged with a Russian man and wanted to marry. But Putin… Read more »

The “globalists” or whatever took completely over Russia in 1917 and China in 1949 and they have only adjusted their grip since then. We have had an unofficial world government for a very long time and the Convid-hoax with missleaders from every country on earth reading from the same script proves this point. The few leaders, mostly Africans, who did not play along they died.

But it dosen’t matter which side one choose as long as one believe in their artificial conflicts. War is their social engineering multi tool for changes that would have been impossible without war and it needs believers and deaths on booth sides.

Need to distinguish between the long- and short- term.

Putin’s moving into Ukraine doesn’t immediately serve Davos. Which likely explains why the WEF have essentially kicked him out and cut off all ties with him.

We can see this most clearly with the Green agenda (which is pretty much Schwab’s ‘Great Narrative’). The Ukraine situation exposes the West’s current lack of readiness to do without fossil fuels, as they scramble for non-Russian alternatives. Davos would prefer a non-aggressive, ‘non-white male supremacist’ transition to the Brave Green World of CBDCs and paying taxes for breathing.

Long-term, however, it may well accelerate the Green (& hence Davos’) agenda, as nations accelerate their attempts to avoid reliance on other nation’s fossil fuels.

Depending, of course, on how the war pans out. The future isn’t written in stone, nor oil,…
