    If one had a coin for everytime some specific 'types' here, lazily use the word 'nefarious' (daily!) lol.
    Show where I claimed there was something 'nefarious'.

    What The Great Reset is in essence the cramming of 15yrs worth of change into approx 1.5yrs.
    Now (sudden, wholescale) change, can be (both) good and bad.

    The only thing for certian is that the imposition of systemic change of this scope, will in turn have equally wholescale (irreversable) effects on populations (good and bad).

    Time is the single biggest risk factor here.
    Natural and gradual changes of this scale, usually iron out any risks or concerns through consideration and reasoned debate (common in democracy).

    This will not be the case here.
    Hence there are heightened immediate risks of unknown or wayward effects, by the few (undemocratically) will imposing their will on the many, many.

    Everything you write here is underpinned by an extreme paranoia of authority. "They" are always up to something. A global summit to discuss dealing with the pandemic has sinister undertones according to you. When asked for specifics or details, you can never provide them.

    All of which was explained to you. You are either playing a role here, or you are unable to grasp basic explanations. If you can't understand things, no one can help you with that.

    What do you think Charles means when he says "big visions of change"?

    An interesting comment on an article in the Daily Mail:

    "If your planned 'endgame' was a society (similar to china) but basically large communities all dealing with their own problems and finance. There would be no personal ownership for the sake of the commune (planet). No voting (that pretence is gone). Overall world control is Fa scist by "the rich". How would you get there? How could you get people to accept? Maybe if you manufacture a "crisis" and come down hard with any dissenters. Of course you'd need help, you'd need people onside to snitch others not obeying the dictat or something simple like not wearing a mask. You'd need some good old public shaming (and fear) to get the message over. You'd also need to dispel the 'its your own personal responsibility' and make it 'you have to for the community'. Welcome to Agenda21's non binding but signed up to by every country in the worlds policy of 'communitariansism'. Also needed would be a 'great reset' of some kind on the money system, bankrupting everyone and everywhere.."

    No role. I just think that when Polish people living in Melbourne describe Melbourne as as bad as, if not worse than, Communist Poland, it should make us all worry. The Polish people I'm referring to are the journalist and people who commented on the article.

    Again point out where there was anything 'sinister' mentioned.

    Again, as mentioned this 'Great Reset' is simply a series of massive changes, sanctioned by a small number, and all within a short time period.

    All this presents is a tri-fold increase in heightend risks, for irreversable undemocratic changes, yes some can be good, and certainly can be bad.

    However, there appears to be zero natural 'risk mitagion' of any potential negative aspects (time x scope x decision makers interests) factored against the actual stakeholder (the global public).
    Where is the public consultation on any changes they want to make?

    The thing is, the Great Reset amounts to the theme for the WEF's annual meeting in 2021. It's a discussion, there's nothing legally binding about it and individual governments or companies may borrow from aspects of it. The title seems to be exciting you guys more than anything.

    .
    Thing is, that its you that is only concerned with dismissing the 'title' of a book, and entirely ignoring the unread contents, even the blurb bit on the back.

    So we can assume from your POV, you are expecting very little in the way of any change at all, after this (once in a lifetime opportunity) twin-summit for global change across all socio-economic areas. Grand so.

    Paranoia of authority in every post, always insinuating some cabal of tyrannical "power's-that-be" are up to something undemocratic, without ever once giving specifics

    In it's most simpliest terms, leaders globally have looked at China in terms of managing it's own pandemic, it's citizens (inc Ughiers), it's 7% GDP forecast (for 2020), it's 'SmartCities', it's control over media or opposition, and thought....
    ...I'll have some of that.

    Afterall, who inpower, does not want more 'control'?

    But they're always talking about the importance of a free press and criticising Trump for calling out the media.

    So mass surveillance. Possibly a social credit system?

    Yes there'll be some sweet zoom calls from Greta airdropped onto a melting Iceberg and so on, but there won't be any votes cast or great public consultations.

    And the fact remains, it's a discussion. Businesses might adopt strategies based on findings, governments might. Nothing mandatory about them or anything.

    By the way you're talking, I assume you've read the book right? :)

    Cloud Blockchain is the centrepeice of all future policy from the WEF.

    Reckon many countries also dream about having China's SCS, it does have both positive and negative attributes after all.

    China's smart cities are also proving to be very useful for them, again positive and negative to consider with such innovations.

    It's a global forum/summit. We've had things like this before.

    Paranoid and delusional people are simply unable to process this. They will never stop trying to infer it's something else. Once it happens, they will read into everything (Agenda 21, lol), then forget it until the next one, rinse repeat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    And the fact remains, it's a discussion.
    Just a chit-chat, elbow bump and chin-wag,
    or a gathering to sign and agree on policy outlined already?
    Businesses might adopt strategies based on findings
    This is not a meeting of any corporate entities, SME's, nor startups.
    There's nothing undemocratic about global conferences....
    This is not just any conference with tea and sandwiches.
    This is a once in a lifetime (twin-summit) called 'The Great Reset', a great revamp.

    Again from the organiser:
    The world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a “Great Reset”

    Again, why is it anti democratic? If you were to ban the WEF or the conference, that would be anti democratic. No policy is signed into being via the WEF... If good ideas are expressed that could become the policy of a government but that still goes through the standard legislative processes of governments. You know, the democratic ones?

    Putting aside the invite-only similar (Bilderberg) who hand pick global 'personas' to agree on state, corporate and global policy direction (undemocratic).

    One simple example of policy via TheGreatReset you can be asured of is the 'CommonPass Framework' (as per WEF, and funded by the Rockerfellers). This model will shortly (<end 2021) and informally spearhead towards reach global realisation (even before any WEF/DAVOS meetup agrees to it formally mid-year).

    If Brazil, Ireland or someone else refuses to sign up to this Framework, the penality of doing so, will be near global exclusion from regular travel, through the majority of the world's airports.

    Systemic changes are on the way, again direct 'expectation' from the WEF:
    We must build entirely new foundations for our economic and social systems. The level of cooperation and ambition this implies is unprecedented

    A comment on an article in The Telegraph about Johnson shutting down businesses in the UK:

    "This is about total decimation of the economy so that Klaus Schwab's great reset or fourth industrial revolution can be implemented.

    Johnson isn't oblivious to the destruction, he's not incompetent; Johnson is doing EXACTLY what he has been told to do.

    In the coming months Johnson and Hancock will herald in this new world order (Great Reset posters already up in parts of the UK) and the gullible amongst us will think how wonderful that something good has come out of this crisis. But the more informed amongst us will realise that the virus has been used as trojan horse to accelerate the plans of one of the most ethically repugnant psychopaths on this planet.

    The measures taken by our government (most governments) were never about health: it has always been about control.

    Say goodbye to life as you knew it.

    Say hello to totalitarianism, global government, digital currency, AI, endless vaccines, and, ultimately, depopulation.

    Research The Great Reset and educate yourself."

    Cool. So let's fact-check this claim.

    1. Who has told Johnson to "decimate" the economy in the UK?
    2. Why?

    No imagined answers, only real ones backed up by evidence.

    If you can't provide these, this is yet another example of a paranoid person on the internet inventing an (incredibly silly) theory with no credible evidence

    The "educate" there means go read conspiracy sites that contain nothing but disinfo and endless fantasies of totalitarian governments taking over. It's always "just around the corner".

    I have to say I'm very disappointed.

    It's a bit telling that no poster complaining about the Great Reset appears to have read the book. You'd think it'd bolster their argument.

    Even so, it's already been demonstrated in this thread that some online reviewer who actually read the book completely misconstrued it's meanings and changed context

    If someone has a highly paranoid filter, they may simply be unable or unwilling to process information normally, i.e. reading into things that aren't there

    Putting myself in the person who wrote the comment's shoes, this is what I imagine they are thinking:

    1. Klaus Schwab and WEF in order to "build back better" and "reset" the old destroyed society. The increasing use of "build back better" and the Great Reset itself is evidence, but not proof.

    2. To "build back better" and reset the old destroyed society.

    Do you think all the people on social media who are very worried about the Great Reset, people who comment on YouTube videos and on newspaper articles, are conspiracy theorists? The reason they're worried is because of how dramatic and far-reaching the Great Reset sounds.

    I don't think that's true.
    I don't think you're being genuine. You are using very dishonest arguments and tactics.

    You didn't do any reading, you read conspiracy blogs and watched conspiracy youtube videos.
    And again you did not apply any critical thinking and fell for the same nonsense you agreed was wrong.

    You should perhaps stop watching youtube as you don't seem very well suited to judging reality from ficition and seem to want to believe a conspiracy, even when you know it's silly and doesn't make sense.

    What's silly about the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6pzXrEBqR0

    The man who made the video did a lot of research and quotes people involved with the Great Reset.

    And I watched interviews with Schwab himself. He's talking about stakeholder capitalism, and resetting every aspect of human behaviour, work etc. It's crazy.

    Bad people can twist and alter and misrepresent things.
    Bad people who want to trick you.

    I really feel bad for bursting your bubble of innocence on this. But you can't trust people on the internet.

    Also, why do you keep trying to deflect and avoid topics and points when they become uncomfortable for you. That's a very dishonest tactic and lends weight to the notion that you aren't being genuine.

    How do you know? Because he says so? Have you done any research yourself to verify his claims or are you taking him at face value?

    But you have to understand that dishonest people can present quotes in ways that misrepresent them without actually changing what they say.
    It's very easy to do and scam artists do it a lot.

    Just because someone is providing a quote it doesn't mean they are accurately representing it's context and meaning.

    Again, this is basic critical thinking stuff.
    Have you honestly not considered this a possibility?

    Maybe you should actually read the book to ensure this is not the case.

    But you won't do this I think because you would prefer to believe in a conspiracy theory.

    You can believe all you want, but belief does not equate to reality.

    So again, why are you being so willfully naive and ignorant and engaging in dishonest tactics to preserve your belief in a conspiracy theory you can't explain or make sense of?
    Why go to all that trouble when you could just conclude the conspiracy theory isn't true?

    I of course considered it, and always do when watching a video or reading an article. I always try to get both sides.

    I could show you clips of people talking and claim they are saying XYZ but if you watch the full clip they are actually saying the opposite of what I have claimed.

    Because I just don't see how context can make what they say okay. When Schwab talks of microchips it can only be a bad thing, in my opinion.

    I of course considered it, and always do when watching a video or reading an article. I always try to get both sides.

    But why would the man who made that video misrepresent what they say? What would he gain from doing that? More viewers?

    Viewers equals revenue, plus I would happily bet that he has a donor link on his website somewhere to grift money.

    Because you have listened to his scaremongering and believe that we will all be forcibly chipped and have no say in our lives anymore.

    Won't read a book. Yet bases thread on said book
    Forms opinion based on sensationalist review of said book.
    Then realised their position may be a bit weak, agrees that.
    Then rather than take the time to read the book or actually contextualise any of it.
    Watches more YT.
    Believes that if someone took the time to make a YT video, they must be trustworthy.

    Dionabh, send me on photos of the front and back of all you credit cards and I will lead you too the truth my friend.

    Yes. Among other things.

    Again I think that you can't possibly be this naive, so I suspect you are not being genuine.

    So read the book then.

    It's a bit telling that no poster complaining about the Great Reset appears to have read the book. You'd think it'd bolster their argument.
    No real need to read this singular book anyway, when more accurate (updated) information regarding this Great Reset, are all readily available online from the source:
    https://intelligence.weforum.org/topics/a1G0X000006OLciUAG?tab=publications


    There are also plentyful of reports downloadable, platforms or framework descriptions to give an idea of the monumental changes planned ahead.

    A lot of it looks very good to me. Particularly the focus on the environment.
