21stcenturywire--2020-06-11--Elite COVID Action: Now Comes the Davos ‘Great Reset’

For those wondering what will come after the Covid19 pandemic has successfully all but shut down the entire world economy , spreading the worst depression since the 1930s , the leaders of the premier globalization NGO , Davos World Economic Forum , have just unveiled the outlines of what we can expect next .
These people have decided to use this crisis as an opportunity .
On June 3 via their website , the Davos World Economic Forum ( WEF ) unveiled the outlines of their upcoming January 2021 forum .
They call it “ The Great Reset.
” It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the coronavirus to advance a very specific agenda .
Notably enough , that agenda dovetails perfectly with another specific agenda , namely the 2015 UN Agenda 2030 .
The irony of the world ’ s leading big business forum , the one that has advanced the corporate globalization agenda since the 1990s , now embracing what they call sustainable development , is huge .
That gives us a hint that this agenda is not quite about what WEF and partners claim .
On June 3 WEF chairman Klaus Schwab released a video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Great Reset .
It seems to be nothing less than promoting a global agenda of restructuring the world economy along very specific lines , not surprisingly much like that advocated by the IPCC , by Greta from Sweden and her corporate friends such as Al Gore or Blackwater ’ s Larry Fink .
Interesting is that WEF spokespeople frame the “ reset ” of the world economy in the context of the coronavirus and the ensuing collapse of the world industrial economy .
The WEF website states , “ There are many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but the most urgent is COVID-19.
” So the Great Reset of the global economy flows from covid19 and the “ opportunity ” it presents .
In announcing the 2021 theme , WEF founder Schwab then said , cleverly shifting the agenda : “ We only have one planet and we know that climate change could be the next global disaster with even more dramatic consequences for humankind.
” The implication is that climate change is the underlying reason for the coronavirus pandemic catastrophe .
To underscore their green “ sustainable ” agenda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the would-be King of England , Prince Charles .
Referring to the global covid19 catastrophe , the Prince of Wales says , “ If there is one critical lesson to learn from this crisis , it is that we need to put nature at the heart of how we operate .
We simply can ’ t waste more time.
” On board with Schwab and the Prince is the Secretary-General of the UN , Antonio Guterres .
He states , “ We must build more equal , inclusive and sustainable economies and societies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of pandemics , climate change and the many other global changes we face.
” Note his talk of “ sustainable economies and societies ” —more on that later .
The new head of the IMF , Kristalina Georgieva , also endorsed The Great Reset .
Other WEF resetters included Ma Jun , the chairman of the Green Finance Committee at the China Society for Finance and Banking and a member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the People ’ s Bank of China ; Bernard Looney , CEO of BP ; Ajay Banga @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , president of Microsoft .
Make no mistake , the Great Reset is no spur-of-the moment idea of Schwab and friends .
The WEF website states , “ COVID-19 lockdowns may be gradually easing , but anxiety about the world ’ s social and economic prospects is only intensifying .
There is good reason to worry : a sharp economic downturn has already begun , and we could be facing the worst depression since the 1930s .
But , while this outcome is likely , it is not unavoidable.
” The WEF sponsors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 ” of capitalism.
” This is big stuff .
Schwab reveals more of the coming agenda : “ …one silver lining of the pandemic is that it has shown how quickly we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Almost instantly , the crisis forced businesses and individuals to abandon practices long claimed to be essential , from frequent air travel to working in an office.
” These are supposed to be silver linings ?
He suggests that those radical changes be extended : “ The Great Reset agenda would have three main components .
The first would steer the market toward fairer outcomes .
To this end , governments should improve coordination… and create the conditions for a “ stakeholder economy… ” It would include “ changes to wealth taxes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and new rules governing intellectual property , trade , and competition.
” The second component of the Great Reset agenda would ensure that , “ investments advance shared goals , such as equality and sustainability.
” Here the WEF head states that the recent huge economic stimulus budgets from the EU , USA , China and elsewhere be used to create a new economy , “ more resilient , equitable , and sustainable in the long run .
This means , for example , building ‘ green ’ urban infrastructure and creating incentives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on environmental , social , and governance ( ESG ) metrics.
” Finally the third leg of this Great Reset will be implementing one of Schwab ’ s pet projects , the Fourth Industrial Revolution : “ The third and final priority of a Great Reset agenda is to harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good , especially by addressing health and social challenges .
During the COVID-19 crisis , companies , universities , and others have joined forces to develop diagnostics , therapeutics , and possible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mechanisms for tracing infections ; and deliver telemedicine .
Imagine what could be possible if similar concerted efforts were made in every sector.
” The Fourth Industrial Revolution includes gene-editing biotech , 5G telecommunications , Artificial Intelligence and the like .
If we compare the details of the 2015 UN Agenda 2030 with the WEF Great Reset we find both dovetail very neatly .
The theme of Agenda2030 is a “ sustainable world ” which is defined as one with income equality , gender equality , vaccines for all under the WHO and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CEPI ) which was launched in 2017 by the WEF along with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation .
In 2015 the UN issued a document , “ Transforming our world : the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
” The Obama Administration never submitted it to the Senate for ratification knowing it would fail .
Yet it is being advanced globally .
It includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals , extending an earlier Agenda21 .
The 17 include “ to end poverty and hunger , in all their forms and dimensions… to protect the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consumption and production , sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change… “ It calls for sustainable economic growth , sustainable agriculture ( GMO ) , sustainable and modern energy ( wind , solar ) , sustainable cities , sustainable industrialization… The word sustainable is the key word .
If we dig deeper it is clear it is code-word for a reorganization of world wealth via means such as punitive carbon taxes that will dramatically reduce air and vehicle travel .
The less-developed world will not rise to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the advanced civilizations must go down in their living standards to become “ sustainable.
” To understand the double-speak use of sustainable , we need to go back to Maurice Strong , a billionaire Canadian oilman and close friend of David Rockefeller , the man who played a central role back in the 1970s for the idea that man-made CO2 emissions were making the world unsustainable .
Strong created the UN Environment Program , and in 1988 , the UN Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change ( IPCC ) to exclusively study manmade CO2 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Isn ’ t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse ?
Isn ’ t it our responsibility to bring that about ?
” At the Rio Earth Summit Strong that same year he added , “ Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class – involving high meat intake , use of fossil fuels , appliances , air-conditioning , and suburban housing – are not sustainable.
” The decision to demonize CO2 , one of the most essential compounds to sustain all life , human and plant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Richard Lindzen an MIT atmospheric physicist puts it , “ CO2 for different people has different attractions .
After all , what is it ?
– it ’ s not a pollutant , it ’ s a product of every living creature ’ s breathing , it ’ s the product of all plant respiration , it is essential for plant life and photosynthesis , it ’ s a product of all industrial burning , it ’ s a product of driving – I mean , if you ever wanted a leverage point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this would be a dream .
So it has a kind of fundamental attractiveness to bureaucratic mentality.
” Lest we forget , the curiously well-timed New York pandemic exercise , Event 201 on October 18 , 2019 was co-sponsored by the World Economic Forum and the Gates Foundation .
It was based on the idea that , ” it is only a matter of time before one of these epidemics becomes global—a pandemic with potentially catastrophic consequences .
A severe pandemic , which becomes “ Event 201 , ” would require reliable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and key international institutions.
” The Event201 Scenario posited , “ outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person , leading to a severe pandemic .
The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS , but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms.

For those wondering what will come after the Covid19 pandemic has successfully all but shut down the entire world economy, spreading the worst depression since the 1930s, the leaders of the premier globalization NGO, Davos World Economic Forum, have just unveiled the outlines of what we can expect next. These people have decided to use this crisis as an opportunity.
On June 3 via their website, the Davos World Economic Forum (WEF) unveiled the outlines of their upcoming January 2021 forum. They call it “The Great Reset.” It entails taking advantage of the staggering impact of the coronavirus to advance a very specific agenda. Notably enough, that agenda dovetails perfectly with another specific agenda, namely the 2015 UN Agenda 2030. The irony of the world’s leading big business forum, the one that has advanced the corporate globalization agenda since the 1990s, now embracing what they call sustainable development, is huge. That gives us a hint that this agenda is not quite about what WEF and partners claim.

To underscore their green “sustainable” agenda, WEF then has an appearance by the would-be King of England, Prince Charles. Referring to the global covid19 catastrophe, the Prince of Wales says, “If there is one critical lesson to learn from this crisis, it is that we need to put nature at the heart of how we operate. We simply can’t waste more time.” On board with Schwab and the Prince is the Secretary-General of the UN, Antonio Guterres. He states, “We must build more equal, inclusive and sustainable economies and societies that are more resilient in the face of pandemics, climate change and the many other global changes we face.” Note his talk of “sustainable economies and societies”—more on that later. The new head of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva, also endorsed The Great Reset.
Other WEF resetters included Ma Jun, the chairman of the Green Finance Committee at the China Society for Finance and Banking and a member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the People’s Bank of China; Bernard Looney, CEO of BP; Ajay Banga, CEO of Mastercard; Bradford Smith, president of Microsoft.
Make no mistake, the Great Reset is no spur-of-the moment idea of Schwab and friends. The WEF website states, “COVID-19 lockdowns may be gradually easing, but anxiety about the world’s social and economic prospects is only intensifying. There is good reason to worry: a sharp economic downturn has already begun, and we could be facing the worst depression since the 1930s.

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” of capitalism.” This is big stuff.
Radical changes
Schwab reveals more of the coming agenda: “…one silver lining of the pandemic is that it has shown how quickly we can make radical changes to our lifestyles. Almost instantly, the crisis forced businesses and individuals to abandon practices long claimed to be essential, from frequent air travel to working in an office.” These are supposed to be silver linings?
He suggests that those radical changes be extended: “The Great Reset agenda would have three main components. The first would steer the market toward fairer outcomes. To this end, governments should improve coordination… and create the conditions for a “stakeholder economy…” It would include “changes to wealth taxes, the withdrawal of fossil-fuel subsidies, and new rules governing intellectual property, trade, and competition.”
The second component of the Great Reset agenda would ensure that, “investments advance shared goals, such as equality and sustainability.” Here the WEF head states that the recent huge economic stimulus budgets from the EU, USA, China and elsewhere be used to create a new economy, “more resilient, equitable, and sustainable in the long run. This means, for example, building ‘green’ urban infrastructure and creating incentives for industries to improve their track record on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.”
Finally the third leg of this Great Reset will be implementing one of Schwab’s pet projects, the Fourth Industrial Revolution: “The third and final priority of a Great Reset agenda is to harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good, especially by addressing health and social challenges.

Imagine what could be possible if similar concerted efforts were made in every sector.” The Fourth Industrial Revolution includes gene-editing biotech, 5G telecommunications, Artificial Intelligence and the like.
UN Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset
If we compare the details of the 2015 UN Agenda 2030 with the WEF Great Reset we find both dovetail very neatly. The theme of Agenda2030 is a “sustainable world” which is defined as one with income equality, gender equality, vaccines for all under the WHO and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) which was launched in 2017 by the WEF along with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
In 2015 the UN issued a document, “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” The Obama Administration never submitted it to the Senate for ratification knowing it would fail. Yet it is being advanced globally. It includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals, extending an earlier Agenda21. The 17 include “to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and dimensions… to protect the planet from degradation, including through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change…“ It calls for sustainable economic growth, sustainable agriculture (GMO), sustainable and modern energy (wind, solar), sustainable cities, sustainable industrialization… The word sustainable is the key word. If we dig deeper it is clear it is code-word for a reorganization of world wealth via means such as punitive carbon taxes that will dramatically reduce air and vehicle travel. The less-developed world will not rise to the developed, rather the other way, the advanced civilizations must go down in their living standards to become “sustainable.”
Maurice Strong
To understand the double-speak use of sustainable, we need to go back to Maurice Strong, a billionaire Canadian oilman and close friend of David Rockefeller, the man who played a central role back in the 1970s for the idea that man-made CO2 emissions were making the world unsustainable. Strong created the UN Environment Program, and in 1988, the UN Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) to exclusively study manmade CO2.
In 1992 Strong stated, “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” At the Rio Earth Summit Strong that same year he added, “Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class – involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, air-conditioning, and suburban housing – are not sustainable.”
The decision to demonize CO2, one of the most essential compounds to sustain all life, human and plant, is not random. As Prof. Richard Lindzen an MIT atmospheric physicist puts it, “CO2 for different people has different attractions. After all, what is it? – it’s not a pollutant, it’s a product of every living creature’s breathing, it’s the product of all plant respiration, it is essential for plant life and photosynthesis, it’s a product of all industrial burning, it’s a product of driving – I mean, if you ever wanted a leverage point to control everything from exhalation to driving, this would be a dream. So it has a kind of fundamental attractiveness to bureaucratic mentality.”
Lest we forget, the curiously well-timed New York pandemic exercise, Event 201 on October 18, 2019 was co-sponsored by the World Economic Forum and the Gates Foundation. It was based on the idea that, ”it is only a matter of time before one of these epidemics becomes global—a pandemic with potentially catastrophic consequences. A severe pandemic, which becomes “Event 201,” would require reliable cooperation among several industries, national governments, and key international institutions.” The Event201 Scenario posited, “outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS, but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms.”
The declaration by the World Economic Forum to make a Great Reset is to all indications a thinly-veiled attempt to advance the Agenda 2030 “sustainable” dystopian model, a global “Green New Deal” in the wake of the covid19 pandemic measures. Their close ties with Gates Foundation projects, with the WHO, and with the UN suggest we may soon face a far more sinister world after the covid19 pandemic fades.

A new country of sorts has risen from the ashes of several weeks of Black Lives Matter protests in the United States. For now at least, it’s called CHAZ and it stands for the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” in what was formerly known as a vibrant cultural and entertainment district in Seattle, Washington.
The City of Seattle’s Police Chief and Mayor have essentially given the area over to the protestors who now inhabit and lord over it – after months of hearing from public officials at the local and national level that ‘no one is above the law.’
News presenter Tucker Carlson takes a humorous yet critical look at this ridiculous ‘idea’ of a homegrown nation-state brought to life by liberal mobs and their corporate media enablers. Watch:

No doubt by now, you’ve probably seen this popular new socially engineered Zeitgeist term “New Normal”. It’s a vague, all-encompassing banner under which just about anything COVID-related can be housed. Two countries which are embracing this concept with exceptional vigour are the United States and the United Kingdom.
It is maybe no coincidence how this Anglo-led re-framing is all sounding particularly post-war. American author Roger Kimball explains why:
“Crises, even if they are manufactured ones, are great producers of linguistic mutation. Thucydides noticed this. In one of the most famous bits of his History of the Peloponnesian War, the great historian wrote that in a time of civil war certain words changed their usual meanings and took on new ones. For example, “reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal ally; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question inaptness to act on any. It’s not only civil war that produces such linguistic deformations. Any crisis will do.”
But language comes with a price tag. There are new rules in this ‘pay to play’ system. Anyone who will be allowed to participate in normal economic activity will be expected to invest in this “New Normal”, including towns and villages across the UK.
In other words, despite plenty of available science which downgrades COVID-19 in terms of risk posed to the general population (numerous leading scientists have shown through serology tests that it’s within the same infectious fatality range as the seasonal flu), the government will not allow the public at large to opt out of its new ‘post-war’ technocratic regime.
How long will people abide by this raft of new social engineering measures?

At the start of the coronavirus lockdown, popular online video conferencing app Zoom experienced unprecedented growth in the use of its platform – driven largely by healthy people going into ‘self-quarantine’ and gathering virtually around the world.
We’re now learning the Silicon Valley company “blocked several meetings and suspended the accounts of three activists at the request of the Chinese government” according to a new AP report:
The company released details Thursday saying that in May and early June, the Chinese government notified it about several online meetings planned to commemorate the crackdown on protesters in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989. China bans public dissent. Zoom said the government told it such activities were illegal and demanded that the company terminate the meetings and the host accounts of the organizers, even though they did not live in China.
Zoom initially complied with the Chinese government’s order and then later reinstated the suspended accounts.
Zoom has since provided a detailed explanation for its censorship actions and outlined policy changes it plans to make in the future.
The changes include developing technology to block participants by geography to comply with local government laws, while allowing other participants outside of a country’s borders, in this case mainland China, to attend Zoom meetings.
It’s unclear how Zoom will decide which meetings could still be shutdown if there are participants from multiple countries where local censorship laws conflict.

When This Is All Over
.
When this is all over, there’ll be singing in the church
And each from one another, we’ll no longer feel to lurch
There’ll be dining in the restaurants and laughter in the pubs
And we’ll cease to see the need each week to clap for those in scrubs
.
When this is all over, there’ll be a smile upon my face
And folk may begin once more to act with charm and grace
No mask required on bus or train, no fearful looks from strangers
Free at last from stress and strain, afraid of hidden dangers
.
When this is all over, I’ll dine out every night
And relish every moment, each and every bite
The wine will flow, the laughter doubtless ring
And if I have enough to drink, I may even start to sing !
.
When this is all over, I might go on holiday
A few nights in a hotel would be such a joy to stay
A cafe lunch, a fine museum, oh the things we took for granted
Before this dreadful lurgi, in all our minds was planted
.
When this is all over, I think I’ll dance for joy
For the solace of the lockdown has long since begun to cloy
These groundhog days are tiresome, it’s a stale and phony peace
One day soon it must surely, and forever CEASE !

How the ego perceives challenges and obstacles
The three kinds of adversity—personal, collective, and mind-made
Collective ‘hive mind’ and the spread of ‘mind viruses’
How the collective mind is projected through social and mainstream media
How sensationalism in mainstream media drives the ‘crisis’ narrative
How to be more conscious of mainstream media manipulation
The vital relationship between spiritual awakening, human development, and adversity
Finding peace amid turmoil
Certainly, in these unstable and challenging times, Tolle’s alternative views on the psychosomatic and spiritual aspects of upheaval are worth listening to.

Knowing what we know now in terms of the relatively marginal threat posed by COVID-19 , will government repeat this same mistake again ?
The past three months have been a global experiment to test whether modern economies built on social interaction are compatible with methods for tackling a pandemic that haven ’ t moved on much since the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in .
Lockdowns are toxic for a world in which people travel to work on buses or commuter trains , spend eight hours with their colleagues at the office , spend their lunch hour doing a bit of shopping , and head off in the evening to the pub , the theatre or the football .

If the trend is reversed , does the government lock down the economy a second time ?

More than any single variable in this COVID crisis threat matrix, the economic calamity is by far the biggest ticking bomb. And the collateral damage from this will not be confined to any sector or corner of society – the impact is indiscriminant.
In addition to hurting the livelihood and health of tens of millions of people, the economic factor poses the single greatest risk to any government’s future survival. That said, you’d think it would be in their best interest to apply an intelligent approach, rather than a top-down, one-size-fits-all shutdown.
The lesson should be clear: if the media and government try to spin-up a “Second Wave” mass-panic, people and businesses should remember the devastating costs of this first lockdown. Knowing what we know now in terms of the relatively marginal threat posed by COVID-19, will government repeat this same mistake again?
Author Larry Elliot from the UK Guardian writes…
The past three months have been a global experiment to test whether modern economies built on social interaction are compatible with methods for tackling a pandemic that haven’t moved on much since the Black Death.
The results are now in. Lockdowns are toxic for a world in which people travel to work on buses or commuter trains, spend eight hours with their colleagues at the office, spend their lunch hour doing a bit of shopping, and head off in the evening to the pub, the theatre or the football.
Britain imposed severe restrictions towards the end of March. By the end of April, according to initial estimates by the Office for National Statistics, the economy had shrunk by 25%. If anything, that will prove to be optimistic because of the difficulty in getting data from companies forced to close.
Little by little, restrictions are being lifted but life is not going to return to normal while face masks are obligatory on public transport, diners have to stay two metres, or even a metre apart in restaurants and customers are discouraged to browse in shops.
(…) The number of new cases has been on a downward trend for weeks as a result of the severest curbs on the UK population ever imposed in peacetime and the arrival of warmer weather, but what happens in the autumn when restrictions have been further eased and the temperature starts to drop? If the trend is reversed, does the government lock down the economy a second time?
The answer is almost certainly not, even though the possibility spooked financial markets last week. Share prices crashed in the early stages of the crisis because investors grasped that measures taken to control the pandemic would result in much weaker corporate profits. Markets subsequently rallied fast because the tentative easing of lockdown restrictions raised hopes of a V-shaped recession. They then had second thoughts after an increase in new Covid-19 cases in a number of US states, mainly in the south. The city of Houston in Texas is mulling the possibility of again ordering people to stay in their homes. A partial shutdown has been imposed in Beijing after the city reported its first cases of Covid-19 in almost two months.
This is likely to be the template for the months ahead: a targeted, localised approach rather than a blanket ban on activity. Political leaders are going to be wary of reimposing full lockdowns, and they are right to be.
For a start, it has become clear that there is no such thing as “the science” when it comes to Covid-19. Immunologists have different views about infection rates and possible mortality outcomes in the same way that monetarists and Keynesians differ over economics…

Mayor Pekau has been outspoken about adopting the 14-day timeline to move to the next phase of re-opening and has said that Orland Park’s Covid-positive rate continues to be on the decline.
In a series of video messages last week, Pekau provided colorful examples of how the restrictions imposed on communities like his are rife with confusing double standards:
“There is no logic, data or science being shared to explain the restrictions we are living with. I call it weird science. For months we were told it was safe to go to warehouse stores and grocery stores, approved department stores and hardware stores, however, you could catch Covid if you went to disapproved department stores or bridal boutiques or game stores. Where was the data that supports this? You can go to an essential store with hundreds of other people, but if you go golf with four people you will get Covid.”
Watch this creative presentation, emblematic of what many other cities are trying to navigate on behalf of their citizens:
And just a few days later, Pekau put out another video message challenging the Governor’s latest executive order:

Where possible, Illinoisans are encouraged to conduct their activities outdoors.’ So we’re safest when we’re outside and yet we were told for months to stay at home. I’m so confused.”
Watch as the mayor presents his city’s Covid update and then calls out the hypocrisy:
In April, Gov. Pritzker’s stay-at-home executive order was modified to include an extension based on modeling that showed a “significant second wave” if the order were to be lifted. It also mandated that Illinois residents begin wearing masks in public.
