The claim
There is a quote circulating on the Internet that is attributed to Klaus Schwab. It covers a proposal for dealing with angry farmers during current protests.
Our conclusion
The quote circulating is a hoax. There is no evidence that Klaus Schwab made this statement. Both internet research and confirmation from the WEF refute the authenticity of the quote.
Claims or quotes are often spread without careful examination, which leads to an unintentional increase in disinformation - as here in the case of Klaus Schwab.
Rumors/Claims regarding quote attributed to Klaus Schwab
An alleged statement from Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), is circulating on social networks. Schwab is said to have made disparaging comments about the angry farmers' protests, saying the protests were part of a plan to give farmers an "illusion of great power" whereupon they would return to submission.
“And this is how we deal with the angry farmers: we create a protest, let them vent their anger for a few days and give them the illusion of great power. Then they will go home and be compliant again. Everything according to our plan, we can say.”
Evaluation
This claim is false. There is no evidence that Klaus Schwab ever made such a statement.
Facts
Thorough research shows that Schwab's quoted statement cannot be verified. There is no reference to such a quote either on the WEF website or in other reliable sources.
A spokesman for the WEF also confirmed to the German Press Agency that the quoted statement did not come from Schwab.
It is important to emphasize that although Schwab spoke out about social unrest and the role of farmers , he did so in a completely different context that has nothing to do with the quote falsely attributed to him.
Additional information
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a frequent target of disinformation in conspiracy theories. False claims suggesting a secret agenda or a new world order are often made against the WEF and Schwab.
Conclusion
The alleged quote from Klaus Schwab about dealing with angry farmer demonstrations is incorrect. There is no solid evidence or sources to confirm the authenticity of this quote.
The spread of this made-up quote underscores the importance of carefully examining information in our digitally connected world. It is important not to get carried away by baseless claims and to always rely on reliable sources and fact checks.
