The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Switzerland’s Davos is here – a cabal, critics would say, of elected and unelected elites that either rule the world, or have a strong tendency to get there.
Security has always played a major role during these gatherings – images of snipers in camouflage gear on top of buildings in what would otherwise be a sleepy winter resort have been coming out of Davos for years.
This time, there’s more than just physical security swirling around participants of an event that sums up the year-round work of the WEF to define the world for “the little people” – without bothering to ask “the little people” about it.
Officials and all others wanting access to a Davos event this week, and that includes journalists, must provide a negative PCR test (the WEF is obviously still holding out), and if they either fail the test or are in no mood to present one to the “authorities” – the chip in their biometric data-based passes get disabled.
Additionally, the Swiss police has been enlisted to check fingerprints outside the WEF venue.
The Davos event is almost inevitably accompanied by a variety of protests, but that has no impact on this gathering of elite politicians and corporations, and corporate media. This year, however, it seems that more independent journalists have decided to try their luck in reporting from “the scene of the crime.”
They’re telling us what was pretty much expected: high levels of security, both in terms of biometric screening and actual security personnel (checkpoints, thousands of regular and military police, and even soldiers).
And, independent journalists are not exactly welcome there. Some are reporting being stopped at one of the checkpoints set up in this warzone of its own making. At the same time, their corporate counterparts are, for some reason, trying to downplay just how heavily fortified the area is.
But proof is in the pudding: the Swiss Army states on its website that up to 5,000 soldiers have been approved by MPs to protect “these civil affairs support operations from 2022 until 2024.”

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
