Thanks for reading, and replying with thoughtful detail! By the end of your comment it looks as if you don't think I'm COMPLETELY "full of shit"!

As far as the revolutions are concerned, I am aware that what I'm describing isn't quite the "schoolboy" version of history.

(No, naturally I don't think what you suggest I think about the WEF).

And certainly I agree with your last sentence. Apologies if I didn't make that clear in the article.
