There's not much I disagree with there.  I think there may be "top down" edicts but not necessarily explicit ones - its just obvious to everyone involved what they should do if they're paying attention.  But most of those will be "here's how to exploit and pump this herd dynamic" and not "now we move to phase 2.5b of the plan".

For example, I can't believe all these leaders really report to the WEF, however much Klaus Schwab brags of "penetrating" ze governments.

What seems far more likely is that the WEF is kind of like a conference organizer.  The participants are people with power and people who want power - the elite if you will - but the power doesn't come from the WEF.  So they socialize and they're all alike and they share their hopes and strategies for exploiting the masses - and when stuff happens it should be no surprise they act in a way that looks co-ordinated.  They all jump on things like covid and climate change precisely because they all see the opportunities it affords them.  The oppression evolves organically.

I'd guess that you may agree the herd has some power - in which case our disagreement ultimately might be the balance between them?
