Meet The Fortress Hotel That Separates The Davos Billionaires From The Peasants
The theme of this year's Davos meeting where the world's wealthiest and most powerful people meet to enjoy each other's company, a fawning media, and of course the best food and entertainment that money can buy, is social stability, class hatred, and how to fix a world torn by a record wealth inequality.
An ambitious task to be sure, especially for the very people who have benefited the most from the record wealth transfer of the past 5 years. Still, while these true Robin Hoods of the modern gilded age are desperate for a few minutes of humanitarian TV exposure, or at least a soundbite or two, their advice to the peasants out there is quite clear: don't get too close.
And just to make sure the appropriate distance of at least a few hundred meters to every member of the great unwashed class they are "saving" is maintained, here is the hotel in which the bleeding heart Davos billionaires are staying: a $170 million fortress surrounded by barbed wire, security cameras, motion sensor and even its own helipad.
Oh, and for those dignitaries of the non-private sector staying here, guess who is picking up the bill dear taxpayers.

At least a pustule is useful...you flatter them too much, friend.
The hotel uses SPIDERMAN´S Towels xd:9
And the idiot Islamic terrorists are too busy messing with the Olympics to make a difference in the world. But those pathetic pawns do the political work they get paid to do.
Of course this is a perfect example of the one and only real purpose of the NSA, drones, and all of the rest of the police state stuff. To protect these guys.

These SHIT eating liberals that suck SOROS cock are not the NSA, or the MORMONS, or the CIA, or the AIPAC, or BIS,
These fuckheads are rich-sheep being sheered, I just once in a while that ZH would quit the god damn stupid shit /sarc, /stupid, /snide its gets boring
why no posts on aipac? or bis? or Nsa/cia for real? Fuck no, cuz zh has no balls, but they'll fuck with 'jerry's rich kids' go figure
Of course THEY are not them, THEY own them is all, now wake the hell up it is time to choose the red or the blue pill and neither have anything to do with elephants and asses.
You are drawing some heat here.
Nice.
This place needs to be shaken up. Keep it coming. +1.
Satoshi 101 forgot to take his meds agan ..
Who do they think they are, Bilderbergers?
If they can hire armed guards for a "gun free" hotel why shouldn't I be allowed to have a gun to protect my family?
If they are so worried about global warming why don't they teleconference?
Teleconference could be hacked. I'm sure the NSA isn't invited. Anyway, any restrictions to counteract global warming do not apply to them. They're special. If they truly are discussing the great wealth disparity, it's only because they might be getting uneasy about the masses awakening and guillotines making a come back. The internet is proving to be a tool for awakening and poking holes in the status quo. If it wasn't that financial networks and corporations rely on the internet, I'm sure it would have been put to bed by now.
one pant leg at a time...... why not meet where it is warm.... see they aint that bright after all
Slaughter House of Morgan's Jamie Dimon wont be attending this conference............ he's richer than all of us and them.....HUH?
Hey Chief,howz ya JPM's fortress balance sheeeeeiiiiiiiiit holding up?
Ok so the ultra wealthy have a lot of money. They have the ability to afford much more thant he rest of us. They are treated like Royalty everywhere they go. They can afford the very best of everything. All of this has always been known. It sounds more like envy than anything else and how could it not be when the middle class if being eroded and the poor around the world are getting poorer.
I have no such envy for the ones that are self-made which in all likelihood is most of them over time. Time is the key word. The ones that are living off of some other poor schleps hard work like the Royal family and others of this particular class I have absolutley zero respect. A true leader does not galivant around the world claiming they are Royalty just because of some lineanage. I believe that you lead by example. I still believe that if you work hard and change the world in some way that benefits all you too can join these ranks (if you so wish).
Don't mistake disdain for envy.
Most of the disdain from me stems from most of this wealth being the product of being very close to or controlling (credit) money creation.
If I had the authority to create money out of nothing and lend it out at interest I could be a billionaire too. It ain't that tough.

Alas, guilty.
I wish I could make idiotic and risky huge investments with (not my) money so that I could skim profit up and down. When they fell through, I wish I had the government making sure that everyone else pitched in to make me whole again. I wish I could sell stuff that I never owned, never saw or touched, and don't even know exists for sure.
I also wish the government forced everyone who gets food stamps or a paycheque to go through my useless bloat of a corporation first. More skim.
I also wish that I could tell the government what kind of laws they need to pass, or get my lobbyists to write them. That'd be sweet. Especially if me and .gov could kind of trade our key employees back and forth over the years, like sister corporations. I wish I could show up to 'advise' or be politely requested for an audience when they're trying to figure out how to put together the latest market I broke.
I wish I could fuck up again and again and STILL get a line of media clones kissing my ass. I wish I could give shitwit answers ("That's why I'm richer than you") and still be the darling of MSM puppets everywhere. I wish I was next step after the printing press so I can buy MOAR real stuff cheap, before inflation doubles the price and I sell.
And I wish that I could commit any crimes I want with impunity. If it gets too public, it'd sure be nice knowing .gov had my back then too.
You don't envy them, but I do! Ah, to be a bankster, sigh! You're a better man than I am gunga din.
Oh, wait...you didn't mean envy their intelligence, charisma, talent, looks, authority, sexual prowess, or the ability to feel love, did you?
You forgot the presidential cufflinks.

So please explain how the FSA, or free shit army if you will, is more deserving of the fruit of MY labors than my own family whom I have deprived of my good company in order to achieve this wealth? If you have any sense left to you the light of truth might have just flashed you.
I always found it funny. "The fruit of MY labors". No credit or thanks to the people who created the inputs, nor your clients who provide your profits.
Well done elitist. Well done.
You really believe that any of those people are self made, or that we are envious of their lifestyle? The vast majority of the people attending that conference have made their wealth by looting the wealth of the nation. Their contribution to society has been nil, and it is because of their greed that the world finds itself in the position that it is in. And to make matters worse these hypocrites pretend to meet to try and "solve" the very problems that they have created, when in actuality they are devising ways in which they can extract even more wealth from the world.
I don't begrudge a person who builds honest wealth. More power to them, but if they then want to use that wealth to extract more from the rest of us then I have a problem.
You forgot to use 'psychopath', 'treason' and 'traitor' in a sentence (they don't have to all be in the same sentence - you can use a whole paragraph if necessary).
The underlying term is "sociopath." The world rewards this behavior now when in the past such people would be eliminated from communities or at least marginalized.
I prefer "parasite" as the image it conjures is so appropriate.
If the food preparation employees there had any brains, they would poison all of them.
"Peasants and Debt Slaves MUST sample their own work" 3rd proclaimation of the committee of the Elite Olgarch.
Buttercup: "And to think, all that time it was your cup that was poisoned!"
Man in black/ Westley : "They were both poisoned. I've spent the last few years of my life building up an immunity to iocane powder."
They have a totally different view of the world than we do

Sudden Debt, I'd go further than that and say that they don't even live in the same world as we do. BTW, do your little arms ever get tired?
Interesting map but dead wrong. Think about the fact that Brazil is four times the size of greenland and then look at the map again:
Brazil Total 8,515,767 km2 (5th)
Greenland Total 2,166,086 km2 (12th)
Here's a real map.

Bilderberg
Davos
bilderberg they invite you in secret, and you have to be a 'somebody'
DAVOS any body can go that pay's for the "E" ticket.
A fortress can turn into a tomb with a long enough siege.
Yes but something like that most definitely has underground access points away from the building for people to enter and leave unseen.
sheeple need to pull resources together and invest in a backpack nuke.
Nothing so expensive required. The words Fuel Air Explosive are the operative ones.
Absolutely devastating in confined spaces. Even better, the fuel can be anything which will mix well with air. That means methane, propane, flour dust, coal dust, ether etc. Industrial accidents involving what are effectively fuel/air explosives are absolutely deadly and they still happen regularly.
So all you would need to do is turn the gas taps on full in the facility kitchen, bar the exit points, and leave.
Alernatively... Improvised high explosives using fertiliser; Ammonium nitrate as the oxidiser and oil as the fuel mixed up in a big drum. The IRA almost got Mrs Thatcher with one of those.
The Bastille was stormed... this place can be too.
It's like a Monty Python skit.
King: "My fellow Lords and Ladies we are gathered here this day to discuss how best we can help the poor unfortunates God had entrusted to our care. Any ideas"
Or like in the Holy Grail. To paraphrase
My lord.
How do you know he is a king?
He is the only one who isn't covered in shit.
They'll be deciding the fate of bitcoin 2.0 and Reggie Middletown there
A manpad outside the perimeter and a few well armed diversions storming the gate will get rid of a few of them helicopter fleers...
They're all special until the time comes when they have to void their bowels and then they become just the same as the great unwashed and will definitely stink up the place if they don't pay a visit to a restroom.
All they have is money and nothing else. They're all human, that means they are all living organisms, and, one day, they will cease to exist.
One doesn't have to lift a finger. Their eventual demise is guaranteed by nature.
Meanwhile, they can do what they want and have to do.
If I checked into that hotel, I'd walk out a loading entrance and leave the place. It is a butt ugly place. Get the wrecking ball and raze the place.
If I were in Switzerland, I'd make my way up to Gimmelwald and drink beer.
satoshi101 is a moron.
Your money and gold ain't worth shit if there is nothing to buy with it.....
There in lies the rub of monetary wealth. Consent of the governed still needs to be given. Refusing and saying no is the ultimate freedom that is repressed at every turn to force compliance.
> They're all human, that means they are all living organisms ...
I think you're reaching here.
> satoshi101 is a moron.
But his posts are better than yours.
you forgot /sarc off
No, I really didn't.
When I saw names on the attendance list of Tony Blair and Bill Gates, I immediately knew that Davos has nothing - absolutely nothing - to do with solving any of the world's problems. It is simply the "winter jolly" for the world's criminals in chief and other assorted hangers-on.
But Tyler is quite right: Davos will be stuffed full with fawning MSM.
I'd do Ms. Yahoo.
Funny story about that, I have a friend we think could have. I and some buddies were big into motocross racing back then. Early to mid 90's Wausau, WI held an outdoor supercross-style race. I was dating my buddies sister who lived there so we had a place to crash and would make a big weekend out of it. He was a stud and could basically pick a chick out of a crowd and have at it. He met some girls and ended up banging a Marissa on the seat of a YZ250 leaned up against our enclosed trailer wall. I remember they were too young to go to the bars, and her bio says she graduated in '93. This would have been the summer of '92.
With ~40,000 people I'm sure there is more than one Marissa, but we joke that he could be living in a penthouse suite in a San Fran hotel right now.
It's the the ultra rich's star night. Blowing their own horn.
I'm sure many people would like to see some terrorist group shell the place. Many smaller countries have cruise missiles now.
Even Al Gore was there. Expending thousands of gallons of jet fuel to hob-knob with his masters.
I bet you the hypocrite Gore is he didn't even bother to buy offseting carbon credits to do his part against global warming.
die pigs!

The "Dear Leader" and some of his Bernanke/Buffet type minions want to continue to discuss "income/wealth disparity" yet they conveniently exclude themselves and these attendees from the discussion and somehow get a way with pitting the $250k guy vs the Wal- Mart/McDonalds cashier. Perhaps the bigger shame is that their narrative somehow gains traction with the media and many of the masses.
The magic show continues.
I'll bet they're discussing wealth inequality.
"To individuals with various psychological deviations, the social structure dominated by normal people and their conceptual world appears to be a "system of force and oppression". Psychopaths reach such a conclusion as a rule. If, at the same time, a good deal of injustice does in fact exist in a given society, pathological feelings of unfairness and suggestive statements emanating from deviants can resonate mong those who have been truly treated unfairly. Revolutionary doctrines may then be easliy propogated among both groups, although each group had completely different reason for favoring such ideas."

Oh and let's all remember the words of Redd Foxx: "They all have to wash their ass just like the rest of us. Yes even the "beautiful people of Hollywood". Somewhere even Sheryl Crow is using more than one square of TP to even though she espouses something different.
If there is any nation out there that would like to stop a war in their nation. Here's your chance. You'll make a lot of friends too.
Iran, never mind Jerusalem. There are better targets.
Welcome to The Intercontinental Davos Museum of Natural History. Look at all the Dinosaurs!
You know what they say.....Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Hahaha Sickening.......
Calling these turds "Robin Hood" is laughable. Robin Hood lived in the forest and robbed from the rich to give to the poor. He identified with the people. He didn't have a store of great personal wealth to give. That's why he stole from the rich. Today, on ZH, he would get burned as a socialist. There were no food stamps back then so give him a break, m'kay?
Robin Hood didn't "rob from the rich" He robbed from the State. The Sherriff of Nottingham was a tax collector.
It's not enough.
Today the muppets have access to technology which makes security really difficult. And once the open source guys produce software which can run facial recognition and so on, eliminating the need for radio contact...#
Wait... they already did...

So it's only a matter of system integration then.
Should booby trap the helipad with mines, put many padlocks on the security gates, put the keys in concrete in a lead box and drop them in the Marianas Trench
Oh...for a stray MIG and some missiles......good pattern for a perfect air strike
I wish someone would do us the favor.
There is no fence, no helipad, no motel high enough or secure enough to protect these f'rs from hackers. The beauty of the rich is they are dependant on technology and barring that the 'poor' who will serve them. In time should they take too much there will be no place on earth, or in the oceans they will be able to hide.
Count on that you elitist SOBs. Got your ticket to the space station or Moon or Mars? Because that is about as far as you'll need to go to get away from the rest of us with pitchforks, computers, and hacking coughs.
Switzerland is a nice, little country full of little gnomes guarding Swiss watch and Swiss cheese factories? It's people are friendly and spend their time yodeling and making toys for Santa Claus. Well, not exactly, but if you are a Chinese tycoon bringing in billions in loot, Afghani opium warlord, murderous Mexican narco kingpin, Wall Street swindler, WWII Nazi, Russian Oligarch gangster you immediately qualify for Swiss hospitality and residence.
This is the country that made a pact with devil, it's completely evil and vile. It is only neutral for one reason: to allow all the looters throughout centuries save harbor and passage. Of course, this type of hospitality is not free.
Blablablablabla.... Wall Street is jst as bad, so is Washington, So is Bejing, so is... oh wait... IT'S ALL SHIT.
Don't blame the country, that just shows you don't get it at all...
it looks like a big fat wart on the side of an ugly frigid rock. an asylum. loony bin. something a doc needs to lop off. hahaha
I bet they steal everything that isn't nailed down when they leave.
so davos is the public meeting for Bilderberg.. Its not a party unless Henry Kissenger is there. He still wanted for war crimes in Switzerland?
How old is that guy? Do these people ever die? Are they vampires or something?
Gosh I sure hope they're having a nice time. A well placed avalance would be nice or maybe a meteor smashing directly into te Presidential suite. I hope they all choke on their caviar and get lung cancer smoking cigars. They should have met at Fukushima.
It would've been a better video if the interviewer had grabbed one of those firewood logs and bashed the hotel manager's skull to a pulp.
Actually, all of that firewood tells you that even oligarchs enjoy sitting around a fire. There is something primal about that that pacifies the soul, and oligarchs, whether sociopath or not, are not immune. In other words, despite their billions and other material wealth, they're still humans, no better than you or I.
"they're still humans, no better than you or I."
Human: Meh. Maybe. Remains to be seen actually. Nor am I certain they even want to be counted as one of us.
Better: Absolutely better, if you actually ask them. Better in every way you could come up with and quite a few ways you would never even think of including they have better blood, superior genetics, stronger moral fiber and possess of a vastly superior intellect greater than every other human being on the planet and for that matter every other human being that ever existed and ever will exist in the entire history of homo sapiens at least until the sun burns itself to a radioactive cinder.
These guys. Egos like you cannot even begin to minimally comprehend ego.
why all the security?
these people have no faith in humanity...
So we dont get to see this video . . . but can say that the static picture here above is the Davos InterContinental, looking like a well out of place gigantic futuristic aluminum multi-level Airstream trailor parked in the edge of the woods, definitely for the second tier and down. Cold and sterile looking, not unlike the people attracted to it , i wouldn't doubt. A huge blot on the landscape.
Anyone who's anyone stays at the Belvedere.
What is the source of this video please. : b2vod-vh akamaihd.net ?
edited to add detail
Boy, where's a good suicide waiter when you need one?
These fcukers in Davos hate our freedoms.
With that much traveling money and power the hotel must be filled with beautiful well dressed super models.
Hypocritocrats.
I don't mind these "elites" being super wealthy. What I hate is them using their power against me and mine.
I wish people would quit responding to front page comments and overloading the replies, so then nothing becomes readable...
They need to set the default sort order for the site so that the newest posts are at the top, not the bottom.
This is off topic, but has anyone noticed the molotov cocktails being used in Kiev just now are far more effective than I've seen before.
Is this a joke? We're paying the tab for the excesses of each and every one of those assholes staying there or doing whatever else they're doing.
The vast majority of us is supporting them every which way. Their wealth is a concept based on the labor, the innovation, the talents of the 99%.
In a sense they're just as parasitical and obsolete as the so called blue bloods were. If this hotel blew up overnight and sending all these "dignitaries" to the moon, who would miss them? They can be replaced quickly if absolutely necessary. In most cases, society can function better without them anyhow.
When they're dead, just don't expect me to avenge their death in the name of my country.
I wonder if the 85 people who own half the world's wealth will be there?
Who cares about these f*ckers. They are human vapors, that bleed and die like everyone else. Yes they destabilized the world and are heading us to war...but I don't hear the revolution bells yet
Meantime. Asia, the economic white knight that backstopped the IMF and ECB/Fed to keep the EUR/Bonds bid is so f*cked it's actually amusing. We got Thailand blowing up, Indonesia, Cambodia. Vietnam and Malaysia could all blow and of course the two darlings that will set off World War Three - Japan and China
