Dav(r)os: You will own nothing and be...
EXTERMINATED!
Wednesday, July 13, 2022
Davros was a recurring villain in TV's longest running science-fiction series,
Doctor Who. Half-man, half-machine, this psychopathic scientist mutates people down to just the essentials: a brain, one eye and a few tentacles. His heartless (and feetless) creations live inside mobile frames (which looked like pepper pots with a plunger) and are fixated on taking over the universe. Anybody who interferes with Davros' nightmarish plans are laser-gunned to death by his cybernetic mutants, while they scream:
"Exterminate!"
Is it not amusing that the names Davros and Davos sound so similar? Davos, of course, being the meeting place of the World Economic Forum, headed by Klaus Schwab— another megalomaniac set on taking over the world with his now iconic promise that by 2030 we will "own nothing and be happy."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Mr. Klaus "Davos" Scwabb look a bit too similar to Davros:
Please share this email and that meme. Most people don't even know who Schwab is. Let's make him infamous... before he owns everything and we are exterminated.

PS Yesterday, Will Dove released a new interview with me on
The Iron Will Report. He recently read
Much Ado About Corona: A Dystopian Love Story, and we had a great conversation about the story and characters. On the subject of villains, find out who Will feels were the most unforgivable characters in my novel (turns out it wasn't Constable Mackenzie). We also discuss why most people go along with tyranny and only a few resist. You can watch the interview on
Strong and Free Canada.
