People need to take seriously the Great Reset that introduces communist-style living and governance being pushed by the World Economic Forum (WEF), said Michael Walsh, author, filmmaker, and editor.
Too many people still treat it as nothing more than a conspiracy theory, Walsh said during an interview on EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program on Oct. 14.
Walsh warned that the Great Reset promoted by the WEF, an organization commonly known for its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, is, in general, “a plan to totalitarianize the world according to what the plutocracy wants, which is fewer people, less movement of people.”
Klaus Schwab, the founder and chairman of the WEF, wrote that the changes seen in response to the COVID-19 pandemic proved that the Great Reset of capitalism is possible.
In his article on the WEF website, Schwab envisions that the Great Reset will steer the market toward more equitable outcomes, ensure that investments advance equality and sustainability based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics, and harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
WEF is a voluntary association of extremely wealthy people and extremely influential political figures, Walsh said. People can find out more about their work from the WEF website, he added.
‘You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy’: WEF Predicts..
“Their slogan is: ‘You’ll own nothing and [you’ll] be happy,” Walsh said, referring to WEF’s eight predictions for the world in 2030.
The slogan illustrates the first one of the eight predictions presented in a WEF’s promotional video that was created “based on the input of members of the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Councils” and posted on WEF’s Facebook page in 2016.
This prediction foresaw that “all products will have become services,” the WEF website said.
...
Ida Auken, a Danish Parliament member, and a WEF’s young leader explained it further in her article on the WEF website: “I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes.”
“Once in a while, I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. Nowhere I can go and not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me,” Auken said, but added, “All in all, it is a good life.”
Auken, who was one of the architects of the Danish Climate Law that has one of the world’s most ambitious climate change targets, said in a note to her article that although the prediction may sound like her utopia or dream of the future, “it is not.”
“It is a scenario showing where we could be heading—for better and for worse,” Auken said, adding that the article was meant to “start a discussion about some of the pros and cons of the current technological development.”
Auken’s article is no longer available on the WEF website, but it still can be viewed on Forbes, which republished it, and is on an archival website.
Dr. Antony Mueller, a German economics professor who teaches in Brazil, wrote in 2020 that this initiative aims to abolish private property and privacy during the next decade.
“The coming expropriation would go further than even the communist demand to abolish the property of production goods, but leave space for private possessions. The WEF projection says that consumer goods, too, would be no longer private property,” Mueller wrote for Mises Institute.
‘US Dominance Is Over,’ WEF Predicts..
...
The third prediction of the WEF’s Global Future Councils states that the United States’ dominance will be over by 2030, and a single hegemonic power will be replaced by a handful of countries such as the United States, Russia, China, Germany, India, and Japan, according to political economist Robert Muggah, Ph. D.
However, the state’s role is threatened by the rise of cities and non-state networks, Muggah wrote for the WEF.
“During the 1990s, scholars forecasted the decline and demise of the nation-state,” Muggah said, adding that Friedreich Engels, a German revolutionary socialist who co-authored the Communist Manifesto with Karl Marx, also predicted that the state would wither away.
Muggah asserted that nation-states have already been ceding sovereignty to alternate configurations of governance, power, and influence, such as mega-cities and networks like multinational companies, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), unions, and faith-based groups.
For example, New York State’s annual budget of $82 billion is bigger than the national budgets of 160 countries, and the populations of mega-cities like Seoul and Tokyo are larger than those of most nation-states, Muggah wrote in 2016.
ESG
...
Another initiative promoted by the WEF is environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards “which is designed to destroy shareholder capitalism [and] replace it with stakeholder capitalism,” Walsh said.
Stakeholder capitalism is an economic system proposed about 50 years ago by Schwab.
“It is a form of capitalism in which companies do not only optimize short-term profits for shareholders but seek long-term value creation by taking into account the needs of all their stakeholders, and society at large,” Schwab wrote for WEF.
Schwab identified four key stakeholders: “governments (of countries, states, and local communities); civil society (from unions to NGOs, from schools and universities to action groups); companies (constituting the private sector, whether freelancers or large multinational companies); and the international community (consisting of international organizations such as the UN as well as regional organizations such as the European Union or ASEAN). “
To measure how companies uphold the principles of stakeholder capitalism, a new set of metrics that will include ESG goals needs to be devised, Schwab wrote.
In 2020, the International Business Council of the WEF, comprised of more than 120 global CEOs, developed a set of non-financial metrics and disclosures, also called the “stakeholder capitalism metrics” that companies will use to measure their ESG performance and report it to their investors and stakeholders, a WEF report said.
The concept of ESG factors guiding investment decisions was first introduced in 2004 by then-United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and UN Global Compact in collaboration with the Swiss government, according to the report by the International Finance Corporation/(IFC).
The initiative was endorsed at that time by 23 financial institutions collectively representing more than $6 trillion in assets, including the International Finance Corp. , a member of the World Bank Group, the report said.
People Do Not Believe in WEF’s Predictions
...
Walsh said that people often do not believe that what is written on the WEF website will materialize.
WEF members are “the richest people ever, of all time,” Walsh said. “They mean what they say.”
“This is always the weakness of the victim—the deer as the predator comes up—it’s not going to happen to me, or they don’t really mean it.”
“Throughout history, most recently during the Holocaust, when Hitler came to power explicitly on a program of hating the Jews and everybody else who got in his way, a lot of people said, ‘Well, he doesn’t really mean it,” Walsh pointed out, until six million people died later in the Holocaust.
When Adolf Hitler wrote his infamous book Mein Kampf, he laid out exactly what he was going to do, Walsh said. A lot of people read it but did not believe that he would do what he meant in the book, since “only a crazy person would do that,” Walsh explained. “Well, welcome to the club.”
Mein Kampf focuses on Hitler’s political goals and plans, such as gaining living space for Germans in eastern Europe and his anti-Jewish program. In the book, Hitler used “veiled terms to call for the actual murder of the Jews,” according to Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center.
Walsh considers the Great Reset an insidious, totalitarian movement that “sticks its tentacles into everything, and as with any totalitarian or communist movement, it is done in the guise of doing it for people’s own good.”
Hoping to give people tools to combat it and to kick off the intellectual resistance to the sweeping restructuring of the Western world by globalist elites, Walsh enlisted 17 eminent intellectuals and writers on the center-right from around the world, including himself, to write a book about the Great Reset.
The book, Against the Great Reset: Eighteen Theses Contra the New World Order, a collection of essays presenting critical perspectives of the Great Reset edited by Walsh, “is the first salvo in what we hope will be an international movement against the Great Reset,” Walsh said.
“It’s hard to move people off the dime until it’s almost too late. We hope it’s not too late.”
Go Galt and/or lying flat - against the dictator in China.
I don’t believe PA voted in Fetterman.
I think the powers that be installed him through vote fraud whether the people like it or not.

Since the WEF people want to eliminate 85% of the population, you must have an exit plan:
Be reconciled with God.
You’re right.
400 + private jets arrived in Egypt during COP27 as climate delegates are accused of ‘hypocrisy’.. Criticisms of private jets also surged during the last UN climate summit, COP26, in Glasgow in November 2021..
Do as I say, not as I do.
I so totally agree with your every word.
Sometimes the best way to win the game is to not play.
OK, I've gone through this exercise many times before, but I'll repeat it just in part:
Conservatives MUST first get into the easy "PTA, school board, and local planning boards" immediately.
School teachers and principles are largely liberals. Conservatives must gravitate into those positions.
University positions need to have their conservative counter-parts.
The Department of Education in every state is staffed with liberals. Conservatives must pinch their noses to get doctorates in education and then take positions in those jobs.
Conservatives must move into Federal jobs that perform educational planning. That also requires doctorate degrees.
There need to be riots and demonstrations in the streets when there are issues being ignored or mishandled by politicians.
Politicians need to get a deluge of letters, emails, and phone calls concerning issues.
Corporation management positions are stuffed to the gills with liberals. That must be balanced.
There are three important considerations looming over all of this. First, the young have all been fully indoctrinated and a super-majority of them will soon overwhelm the conservative vote. Second, decades will be required to penetrate the aforementioned leadership positions in society; and, there isn't that much time remaining before this Nation goes full commie. Liberals are the hippies of the sixties and seventies, and they all went into education and government. They are decades ahead of us, and they do plan tactics and work together. Third, the proposed solutions will take planning, coordination, and training. Conservatives don't seem to be a very cohesive or cooperating bunch of people. Please take note of how many here on FreeRepublic treat their fellows. With friends like these there is no need for enemies.

I just can’t help but notice that you didn’t come back with any plans or suggestions. Paper Tiger.
Note *the slow walk thru the Institutions* as advocated by Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci ./ 1930s +.. the Fabian socialists have been increasingly successful at poisoning the roots of Western Civilization... and freedom..
Gramsci contended , if Marxists gained control of the organs of culture - churches, education, media .. .. by winning cultural hegemony. .
-2- Yes :: Conservatives MUST first get into the easy “PTA, school board, and local planning boards” immediately.
Just as in previous postings, nobody can get past the easy parts. Nobody will even discuss the remaining points. I know why this is so: Everyone understands in their hearts that it is too late, even if they don’t admit it.
Yes. They are going to trow us into 3rd world standards. I say let’s do it ourselves and catch them with their pants down and not ready yet.
I think there are hundreds of thousands that are taking the GR seriously. What the hell can a person do? These people are powerful, evil and have limitless resources as well as control of most major legislative bodies worldwide.
Everyone has been in denial since 2008.
They also have the biggest portion of the stupid masses behind them; and, they are belligerent while we are not.
Sad but true.
Well said.
Nobody runs a four minute mile.
