Klaus Schwab, founder, and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF)—an organization made up of the world’s political, economic, and cultural elites meets annually in Davos, Switzerland. The idea of the Great Reset can be traced at least as far back as the inception of the WEF, originally founded as the European Management Forum, in 1971. In that same year, Schwab, an engineer, and economist by training, published his first book, Modern Enterprise Management in Mechanical Engineering. It was in this book that Schwab first introduced the concept he would later call “stakeholder capitalism,” arguing “that the management of a modern enterprise must serve not only shareholders but all stakeholders to achieve long-term growth and prosperity.” Schwab and the WEF have promoted the idea of stakeholder capitalism ever since. They can take credit for the stakeholder and public-private partnership rhetoric and policies embraced by governments, corporations, non-governmental organizations, and international governance bodies worldwide.
The goals of the Great Reset are quite specific. They are: “You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy about it.” Instead, you’ll rent everything you need, and it’ll be delivered by drone right to your door. “The U.S. won’t be the world’s leading superpower.” Instead, a handful of countries will dominate together. “You won’t die waiting for an organ donor”. Rather than transplanting organs from deceased donors, custom organs will be 3D printed on demand. Yes, but only if your social credit score is high enough. “You’ll eat much less meat”. Meat will be “an occasional treat, not a staple, for the good of the environment and our health”. “A billion people will be displaced by climate change” — As a result, countries will have to prepare to welcome more refugees. “Polluters will have to pay to emit carbon dioxide”. To eliminate fossil fuels, there will be a global price on carbon. “You could be preparing to go to Mars”. Scientists “will have worked out how to keep you healthy in space,” thus opening up the possibility of becoming a space-faring race and colonizing other planets. “Western values will have been tested to the breaking point.” This means that the Western culture and our shared values will slowly become extinct.
