What Is the Great Reset?

Quote
The specific phrase “Great Reset” came into general circulation over a decade ago, with the publication of a 2010 book, The Great Reset, by American urban studies scholar Richard Florida. Written in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, Florida’s book argued that the 2008 economic crash was the latest in a series of Great Resets—including the Long Depression of the 1870s and the Great Depression of the 1930s—which he defined as periods of paradigm-shifting systemic innovation.

Quote
In 2018 and 2019, the WEF organized two events that became the primary inspiration for the current Great Reset project...In May 2018, the WEF collaborated with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security to conduct “CLADE X,” a simulation of a national pandemic response....

Quote
The CLADE X and Event 201 simulations anticipated almost every eventuality of the actual COVID crisis, most notably the responses by governments, health agencies, the media, tech companies, and elements of the public. The responses and their effects included worldwide lockdowns, the collapse of businesses and industries, the adoption of biometric surveillance technologies, an emphasis on social media censorship to combat “misinformation,” the flooding of social and legacy media with “authoritative sources,” widespread riots, and mass unemployment. ...
Quote
The Great Reset aims to usher in a bewildering economic amalgam—Schwab’s stakeholder capitalism—which I have called “corporate socialism” and Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben has called “communist capitalism.” ...

Quote
This is the “social justice” aspect of the Great Reset. To comply with that, governments, banks, and asset managers use the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) index to squeeze non-woke corporations and businesses out of the market. The ESG index is essentially a social credit score that is used to drive ownership and control of production away from the non-woke or non-compliant....
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Problem is, they are picking their winners and losers based on false premises. It doesn't have to be true to make them money (as if they really need more), it just has to seem to work (what propaganda is for), and when it doesn't, that can make them money, too.
In the meantime, accounts exist of people still being strung up from lampposts in Berlin during the closing days of the Second World War in Europe, even as the sound of Allied artillery grew louder, for being "defeatist".
 
The key is owning the means of promoting all this garbage, and that is where the Orwellian media come into play.
It seems I have heard the words "scientific socialism" before. And if their version of science is wrong (Lysenko), you get another Holdomor to save 'face', and even if you don't--millions, somewhere, will starve.

The whole Green New Deal is one such fallacy, and the next Holdomor, should these people be allowed to persist, will be over energy. People will die from heat or, more likely, freeze to death, while these people are selling EVs to the urbane  masses. When that is imposed, conventional energy sources (ones which have worked in the past: "fossil fuels") will be valued at dimes or pennies (if that) on the dollar, and the pendulum will swing back with a new group of Rockefellers at the helm...

For the life of me, I can't see even wanting that much money, but then, I guess decadence and psychosis come at a hefty price tag, at least for some. The difference may be that I don't want to rule the world. This world is temporary for us, and while we might be able to make it a better place for our progeny, even that would pale in comparison to what awaits.

To me, the greatest cost, in real terms, is the gift Almighty God gave each of us, the loss of the freedom to choose our course in this life to serve Him or not, as we will, with whatever awaits our eternal soul as a result of our actions, but more importantly, our beliefs, our faith. I have but one King, and do not need nor desire these vassals to try and tell me how to live.

With this in mind, I will do what my limited abilities allow. I will patronize the unwoke, which is little more than a reversed social credit scoring (which we do anyway, to some degree, by boycotting those who support philosophies which are not in alignment with our own). But we need a way to bring the large players in this down.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It ain't about money. It is about ruling class. Ever since the Magna Carta created an upwardly mobile middle class, they have been trying over and over again to destroy it. What they want is feudalism, or something close to it, with a peasantry wholly divorced from the ruling class.

Thank you, Earl, for this article.  I read it in its entirety.

Whether you call it the "Great Reset" or something else, there is no doubt that there has been a sea change in terms of western governments adopting totalitarian tactics, aligning themselves with big finance, big tech and big media to control their populations.

It is very scary what might lie ahead.
