  • An image shared on Instagram claims World Economic Forum (WEF) executive chairman Klaus Schwab predicted the erasure of 4 billion useless eaters by 2050. View this post on Instagram A post shared by World Health Mafia (@worldhealthmafia3.0) Verdict: False The statement appeared in a 1992 book by Dr. John Coleman. There is no evidence Schwab made such a remark or included it in his book. Fact Check: The image claims the alleged quote stems from a passage in the book, COVID-19: The Great Reset, authored by Schwab and Monthly Barometer founder Thierry Malleret . The passage says around 4 billion useless eaters would be eliminated by 2050 through various methods, including war and starvation. Energy, food and watershal (sic) be kept at subsistence levels for the non-elite, the passage reads in part, adding that it would continue until the world population reaches a manageable level of 1 billion people. (RELATED: Did The World Economic Forum Report On The Omicron Variant In July?) The statement, however, does not appear in the book nor on Schwab’s verified Twitter account . The WEF’s social media posts and its press releases likewise make no such comment. Check Your Fact was unable to locate a single credible news report online of Schwab making such a remark. Mr. Klaus Schwab has never made such a statement, WEF spokesperson Alem Tedeneke told Check Your Fact in an email. An internet search reveals the passage can be found in John Coleman’s 1992 book Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300 , which is also available through the Central Intelligence Agency’s website . Coleman, who claimed to be a former British intelligence officer, cites British writer H.G. Wells’ 1926 book The Open Conspiracy: Blueprints for Global Revolution as a source for his allegations. This is not the first time Schwab has been the subject of viral misinformation. Check Your Fact corrected a false rumor in April 2021 that alleged he referred to the COVID-19 pandemic as the first big step towards the unprecedented control of mankind. (en)
