The Forum's president Klaus Schwab is the exemplary archetype of what Samuel Huntington in 2004 defined as,
Writing for Harpers in 1994, Christopher Lasch remarked that this elite,
They regard the planet as their financial playground and have no national allegiance to any border or flag.
CNBC later defined the stereotypical Davos Man as rich and powerful, perhaps out of touch, but most of all representative of the Global Elite.
Technically, we have been charging blindly into the Schwab's Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Globalization 4.0, for over three decades following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the near silencing of anti-globalization protests after 911.
When this new revolution began is relatively unimportant.
However, two events at the close of the first Bush administration seem to have inadvertently catapulted its onset:
There is an amateurish assumption that the Great Reset is the 'brainchild' of Schwab.
Technologies such as,
...were already forging ahead and becoming exponentially more complex and sophisticated.
A dozen years ago, a popular urban theorist Richard Florida published his book The Great Reset - How New Ways of Living and Working Drive Post-Crash Prosperity.
Well, before Schwab's blathering about the great opportunity before us to reset human civilization as the Covid-19 'pandemic' overturned "life as normal," Florida's Reset already promised a better life free of,
Several of his predictions are coming to pass, notably the shift away from home ownership to a renter economy.
In 2014, Dutch economist Willem Middelkoop proposed The Big Reset in his book with the same title.
Surprisingly since its inception in 1971 the WEF has achieved little as an international institution. Despite the enormity of its global public face, by itself,
Left to itself, it is a rather lame institution.
Schwab himself has stated that his organization's sole purpose is to initiate "dialogue between stakeholders" and doesn't engage in negotiations for treaties and policy decisions.
Speaking at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, when asked whether the WEF could replace the multilateral institutional international structure Schwab replied it was not the Forum's goal:
The Forum is largely a huge clearing house that internalizes enormous amounts of,
...and no doubt intelligence entities and elitist institutions such as,
It has never truly succeeded in anything monumental or earthy shattering other than serving as the premier incubator for the Davos Folk, corporate multinational and financial elite and their well funded think tanks and NGOs,
Yet it is also in the WEF's DNA to advance a template for socio-economic progress defined by a technologically driven regime that will not trigger earthquakes throughout the ruling elite class.
At our peril, the WEF's harshest public critics may be placing too much weight on Schwab as the mastermind for a unipolar world ruled by elite stakeholders.
Remove Schwab, WEF and the Great Reset and the Fourth Industrial Revolution will proceed unscathed.
However, one elite mover and shaker who barely goes noticed is the French economist and social theorist Jacques Attali.
Attali was a senior consultant to French presidents Mitterrand, Sarkozy and it is claimed he opened doors for Emmanuel Macron's election.
He founded the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in 1989 with a mission to rebuild the former Eastern European Soviet republics into functioning capitalist democracies, which he was later accused for having grossly mismanaged.
Nevertheless, the prestigious journal Foreign Policy lists him as among the world's top global thinkers.
Professor Valentin Katasonov, Chairman of the Russian Economic Society, has noted that many of Schwab's strategic plans and goals outlined in his Great Reset coincide with Attali's ideas.
Attali's Positive Planet Initiative is also part of the WEF's network.
A few voices have called Attali the actual,
In his 2009 book The Crisis and After, Attali predicted an "uncontrolled 'pandemic'" and has supported Bill Gates' 'pandemic' strategies.
During a 2021 TED talk, which was removed shortly after being posted, Attali is fully onboard with a technological readjustment of the human organism through vaccination.
Embracing the doctrine of radical scientific materialism, Attali believes all human activity - politics, agriculture, transportation, technology, economics, human behavior (from selfishness to empathy), health and medicine, are nothing more than codes.
All such codes in Attali's dystopian future, which govern "sets of rules," need to be overhauled and rewritten so a "living being " becomes "an object" and "an artifact."
A decade ago, Attali praised the possibility of radio-identification chip strategies to be implanted,
"The luxury of tomorrow," he conceded, will be to escape this electronic surveillance prison - hence offering the elite and get out of prison pass.
Earlier he indicated that modern medical practice is ideally suited to be the platform for a future surveillance system when,
During the same 1981 interview published in L'Avenir de la Vie, Attali rejected the idea that his technological utopia was Orwellian; rather he believes,
The Chinese Communist Party's control is a vague analogy, and during a recent appearance on China's state media, Schwab proclaimed the Xi regime is one of his role models for a global transformation.
In later lectures and interviews Attali recommends a drastic reduction in agriculture, most forms of transportation, mechanical and chemical engineering and widespread decarbonization - all points clearly outlined in Schwab's The Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Throughout Attali's work we repeatedly discover technological innovation as the final solution for all of humanity's struggles and failures.
True to the ideology of scientific determinism and metaphysical realism, his language characteristically frames humans as broken and imperfect machines.
But it is the inherent authoritarian capacity of technology itself - through the Fourth Industrial Revolution's social networks, data collection, algorithmic surveillance and censorship, and human engineering - that will ultimately give rise to a post-capitalist regime.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US and the West in general believed a new neo-capitalist era was being born.
Fukuyama's The End of History would have us believe that history was being wiped out by an epoch of neoliberalism engineered by the US and its economic allies.
However, perhaps the events leading to this ahistorical era also marked signs pointing to the end of capitalism altogether. During the 2008 financial collapse the loss of money's hard value accelerated.
The only thing required was a printing press to create value and purchasing power out of nothing.
Rather than technology and many of its wonderful advancements serving humanity and democratic ideals, the human race becomes increasingly enslaved.
Writing shortly before the WHO's declaration of Covid-19 'pandemic', David Baker, a historian at Macquarie University, lists the "big picture" predictions that have been made as the century progresses:
We have been witnessing each of these crises unfolding in spades.
The Great Reset agenda could transform neoliberalist capitalism into a counterrevolutionary movement led by a global elite to destroy capitalism itself in order to usher in a post-capitalist era.
Warnings of such a revolution were described by Christopher Lasch in his 1995 book The Revolt of the Elite and the Betrayal of Democracy.
Lasch viewed the elites' intention to destroy the middle class as a revolt to,
Post-capitalism has nothing to do with a new Marxism, an ignorant trope that sadly infects red pill country and many WEF critics.
Attali, Schwab, and those most closely aligned with the Fourth Industrial Revolution's techno-economic ideology, invert true Marxism.
It should be self-evident that the WEF counterrevolution is not about genuine class struggle nor does it in any way favor the proletariat worker' struggle against an extremely powerful global bourgeoisie ascending to opaque political positions of socio-economic governance as stakeholders.
Consequently this would be an utterly new creature, an oppressive regime to further the destruction of the middle and upper working classes.
As real estate is gobbled up by banks and large investment firms like Blackrock, tens of millions of homeowners and owners of small and medium sized businesses are going bankrupt and having their property seized.
The long-term goal is to eventually establish a depopulated caste system that favors a liberated elitist class and its privileged constituents.
Beneath them resides a socially engineered caste that comprises the masses of useful and expendable "useless" eaters...
In 2018, attendees at the Santa Fe invitation-only conference by the National Security Agency (NSA) voted on their preference and/or likelihood of four future scenarios for humanity to constructively face the global crises ahead.
The second most popular scenario was named "anthropological transition" and refers to the movement towards a new social order with the distinguishing gap between the top and bottom being that which separates two different biological species.
This latter scenario is the new caste system, which can be found intrinsically couched within,
However, none of this is really new; we have heard much of this before.
In their special report Crisis of Democracy, commissioned by the Trilateral Commission under the directorship of Zbigniew Brzezinski and published in 1975, authors Samuel Huntington, Crozier and Watanuki suggest the US needs to move towards less rather than more democracy.
A functioning democracy requires moderation; to reach this goal a large portion of the population must become apathetic and disengaged from civil action.
Therefore diminishing civil society's public influence is essential.
We may not feel inclined to lend much importance to a report written almost half a century ago.
However, in the Trilateral Commission's Summer 2019 report, entitled "Democracies Under Stress," the 1975 report was resurrected.
The 2019 report states,
The globalists' adrenaline rush during the past years of the 'pandemic' has been an effort to shatter the public's self-awareness, to squash individuality and dumb down critical thought.
Viewed from this perspective, social movements such as the New Woke, environmentalism as an ideology created by the elites' New Green Deal agenda, and gender insanity were likely very predictable distractors now that we have seen them being co-opted by the same engineers of the Great Reset.
The Critical Race Theory movement's identity politics has replaced a direly needed authentic class struggle.
After Obama's 8-year term in office, the elite class fully expected Hillary Clinton to rule for the following two terms.
Over the course of this anticipated 16-year reign by hardened corporate Democrats, the politicos of globalist ideology, the neoliberal project for implementing the unipolar regime outlined in the Great Reset had a greater chance of success.
Unsurprisingly, Silicon Valley, the exemplar of a technological autocracy, voted overwhelmingly for Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020.
But then there was a "black swan" event:
Far from truly representing the average person, Trump represents,
As a nationalist, he believes in the country's sovereignty.
However he also stood in opposition to international institutional infrastructures, such as, ...and their various offspring that impose their will upon nations' sovereignty.
Trump's presidential predecessors were simply high-ranking clerks...
For the global elites, Schwab's stakeholder capitalism would,
Trump's buffoonery, the uncertainty about what he would do from one day to the next, may be regarded as a surreal blessing to interrupt the globalist agenda and perhaps saved a middle class - or at least lend it a bit more survival time.
Trump's fool's errand nevertheless brought to public light the underbelly of the globalist class and its ties to the deep state apparatus.
Trump would certainly be an inappropriate architect and general for a constructive counterattack against a New Global Order built upon the Great Reset's designs.
However, it serves us to pay heed to how his presidency's burlesque upset the new faux left's tyrannical forces and the powers of wealth that support it...
