Human Events host and former Navy Intel Officer Jack Posobiec has been detained by Swiss police wearing World Economic Forum badges while attempting to cover the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos.
Swiss police refused to answer why they detained Posobiec, outright stating they won’t answer questions and telling journalists to stop filming.
In an interview with Turning Point’s Charlie Kirk, Posobiec said, “It was really amazing because they were not letting me film — I was able to get one piece of footage out.”
“But my brother, he’s here with me, he came up, he started filming, and then the great Savannah Hernandez… started getting right in the face of the police officers, filming everything that was going on. And the minute they realized it was becoming more of a thing, that more journalists were starting to take attention of what was going on, they immediately ran back into their police vans and took off within, like, 30 seconds of her arriving.”
According to Posobiec, despite obviously being a journalist covering a newsworthy event, police feigned ignorance and were highly suspicious, questioning him about TPUSA, which Posobiec is representing.
They then asked Posobiec to show them his footage and then “tried to take one member of the crew back into their van to show them the footage.”
“I said, no, no, no, you’re not going anywhere. You’re not separating us. We’re not playing that game,” Posobiec continues. “… You know what happens. You start showing them the footage; that’s when they start asking for the [memory] card, that’s when they say you need to delete that or we’re going to confiscate that.”
“Never once did they actually explain to us why it was that we were targeted.”
As reported by Rebel News’s Avi Yemini and independent journalist the Real Rakshan, who arrived in Davos early, there was massive military and police mobilization ahead of the World Economic Forum’s meeting. Video captured shows that authorities are on high alert in the small skiing village, and several structures have been tailor-made for several multi-billion-dollar companies convening in Davos.
Of course, independent and alternative media, which have been shining a light on the WEF’s undue influence on governments around the world, have not been invited to cover the WEF meeting. Only the corporate press, of which many journalists are WEF members, can actually attend the meeting.
Nonetheless, independent and alternative media are doing their best to get interviews from the world’s elites outside the Forum.
