Yes, Carlos, JNC claims to know quite a bit about the WEF. In fact a lots
of people know quite a bit. Just on their plans for global governance and
how precisely the NMI fits into their plans, you may want to read

State of Davos – The camel’s nose in the tents of global governance by
David Sogge (
http://www.tni.org/sites/www.tni.org/files/download/state_of_davos_chapter.pdf
)

See how clearly he predicts what NMI is upto, quite a bit before NMI took
shape.

And since you mentioned your emotions about Lula and the launch of World
Social Forum, you would also for sure know that the World Social Forum was
launched in clear opposition to the World Economic Forum and its world
view. Knowing that much about WEF should suffice. There is something that
is basic and structural to WEF, and a WEF led global IG paradigm can
easily be criticised from that 'knowledge' alone. And you know that as
more civil society people outside a certain charmed IG civil society
circle hear about it, there can only be one response to it -  surprise
followed by dismay.
