In 1971, when Schwab's WEF was just getting started, the New York Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) had already been operational for 50 years. David Rockefeller was CFR chairman (1970-85). Nixon was a former CFR member, and his admin was loaded with CFR members. Schwab's mentor Kissinger was a CFR member. Fed chair Burns was a CFR member. Treasury secretaries Kennedy and Shultz were CFR members. CIA director Helms was a CFR member. UN ambassador GHW Bush was a CFR member. It was also in 1971 when Rockefeller, Kissinger, and the CFR launched the buildup of mainland China.

The WEF is an interlocking node in the CFR network, which includes the major corporations, foundations and NGOs.

Fast forward to today. Billionaires Larry Fink (BlackRock), David Rubenstein (Carlyle) and Marc Benioff (Salesforce) are WEF trustees. Fink is a CFR director, Rubenstein is the CFR chairman, and Benioff who owns Time magazine is a CFR member. CFR members on the "Biden team" include the secretaries of State, Treasury, Defense, Commerce and Homeland Security. Also the Fed chairman, CIA director, ambassador to China, and dozens more.

Here's a recent article on Kissinger, Schwab, and the origins of the WEF: https://unlimitedhangout.com/2022/03/investigative-reports/dr-klaus-schwab-or-how-the-cfr-taught-me-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-bomb/
