In a recent article I briefly examined a number of advances that global planners made prior to the World Economic Forum's announcement in June of a new initiative dubbed 'The Great Reset'.
Taken together,
...offer an insight into how elites want to turn the lives of every man, woman and child inside out over the course of the next decade.
Details of 'The Great Reset' came as nations began to reopen their economies following a global lockdown. The extent to which Covid-19 has dominated every facet of existence - largely because of unrepentant media coverage - has encouraged people to focus exclusively on what life will be like after the virus...
For many, what came before now seems inconsequential. It is anything but...
For example, three months before Covid-19 took hold, a global pandemic exercise - 'Event 201' - was held in New York City which simulated the outbreak of a coronavirus that originated in Brazil.
The scenario focused on a novel zoonotic virus that,
Whilst initially some countries managed to control the outbreak, it ended up spreading and,
The simulation culminated at the eighteen month mark with 65 million people having died and severe economic and societal repercussions.
But that was not the end of it...
As the scenario explained,
'Event 201' also used the exercise as an opportunity to warn that,
That pandemic arrived in the shape of Covid-19, just weeks after the conclusion of 'Event 201'.
On examining the make up of 'Event 201', we find that the three institutions at the forefront of the simulation were,
It is through the WEF that 'The Great Reset' was launched, in what the group said was in response to Covid-19.
Johns Hopkins has been the go to source for the number of global infections and deaths thanks to their newly established 'Coronavirus Resource Center'.
And then you have The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which has been a driving force behind efforts for a vaccination to be found and disseminated worldwide.
'Event 201' consisted of fifteen 'players' that represented, amongst others, airlines and medical corporations.
Out of these fifteen, six are direct partners of the World Economic Forum:
To be clear, these organizations do not all operate at the same level within the WEF.
For instance, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Johnson and Johnson are 'Strategic Partners', the highest stage for a participant.
Not only that, but Strategic Partners,
Beneath the Strategic Partners are the 'Strategic Partner Associates', which is the category that NBC Universal Media fall under.
Strategic Partner Associates include some of the largest businesses in the world, who are,
According to the WEF, associates also believe in 'corporate global citizenship'.
Next come the 'Partners' which comprise of,
Partners are described by the WEF as,
Finally, there are the 'Associate Partners'.
Whilst they participate in 'forum communities' and have a,
Every major industry in the world, be it banking, agriculture, healthcare, media, retail, travel and tourism, is directly connected to the World Economic Forum through corporate membership.
What is evident is that the deeper a corporation's ties with the WEF, the greater its ability to 'shape' the group's agenda.
Which brings us to what the WEF call their Strategic Intelligence platform:
They describe the platform as,
As for why the WEF developed Strategic Intelligence, they say it was to,
Growing the platform is an ever present goal.
The WEF are always looking for new members to become part of Strategic Intelligence by joining the 'New Champions Community'.
But they will only allow a new organization on board if they,
A 12 month 'New Champions Membership' comes in at €24,000.
In arguing for the relevance of Strategic Intelligence, the WEF ask:
In other words, Strategic Intelligence is both an antidote to 'fake news' and an assembly for corporations to position themselves as global pioneers in a rapidly changing political and technological environment.
That's the image they attempt to convey at least...
We can find more involvement from global institutions via Strategic Intelligence.
The platform is,
'Co-curators' are perhaps the most important aspect to consider here, given that they have the ability to,
It is safe to assume then that when co-curators speak, members and partners of the World Economic Forum listen.
Who are the co-curators?
At present, they include,
It was the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that in March published an article titled, 'We're not going back to normal', just as Covid-19 lockdowns were being implemented world wide.
Citing a report by fellow co-curator Imperial College London that endorsed the imposition of tougher social distancing measures if hospital admissions begin to spike, MIT proclaimed that,
As well as co-curators there are what's known as 'Content Partners', who the WEF say are,
Content Partners include,
Getting into specifics, the way Strategic Intelligence is structured means that the higher your position in the corporate fold, the more 'platforms' you can be part of.
Whereas Strategic Partners must be part of a minimum of five platforms, Associate Partners only have access to a single platform of their choice.
Here is a list of some of the platforms hosted by the World Economic Forum:
As we will look at in a follow up article, 'The Great Reset' is made up of over 50 areas of interest that are formed of both 'Global Issues' and 'Industries', which in turn are all part of the WEF's Strategic Intelligence platform.
(See also "Prospering in the Pandemic - The Top 100 Companies - Financial Times".)
Corporate membership is essential for the World Economic Forum to spread its influence, but in the end every single member is in compliance with the agenda, objectives, projects and values of the WEF.
These take precedent over all else.
Also in concurrence with the WEF are the organization's Board of Trustees.
Three of these include,
The Trilateral Commission are also represented amongst the trustees through Larry Fink and David Rubenstein.
To add some historical context to the WEF, the group dates back to 1971 when it was originally founded as the European Management Forum.
At the time the conflict in Vietnam was raging, social protest movements were building and the United States was about to relinquish the gold standard.
By 1973 when the post World War Two Bretton Woods system collapsed and the Trilateral Commission was formed, the Forum had widened its interest beyond just management to include economic and social issues.
From here onwards political leaders from around the world began to receive invitations to the institution's annual meeting in Davos.
The World Economic Forum is classified today as the 'International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation', and is the only global institution recognized as such.
It is in this capacity that the forum,
Like how the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) acts as a forum to bring central banks together under one umbrella, the WEF plays the same role by uniting business, government and civil society.
The WEF declare themselves as being a 'catalyst for global initiatives', which is accurate considering 'The Great Reset' agenda originates at the WEF level.
And it is initiatives like 'The Great Reset' and the 'Fourth Industrial Revolution' which the WEF say are distinguished by,
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) narrative was developed out of the World Economic Forum back in 2016.
The WEF have confidently asserted that because of 4IR,
Not only that, but the world is on the verge of witnessing,
The group now plan to use 'The Great Reset' as their theme for the 2021 annual meeting in Davos as a vehicle for advancing the 4IR agenda.
4IR is marketed as a technological revolution, where advancement in all the sciences,
And like their global counterparts, such as the BIS and the Trilateral Commission, the WEF nurture their agenda gradually and seek to maintain their focus on the long term rather than 'the emergencies of the day'...
In their own words,
