Klaus Schwab's Road Map to Absolute Power
If taken to its logical conclusion, the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset" will lead to a bifurcated world of haves and have-nots. All but a privileged few are immiserated.
My take and summary of Larry Alex Taunton’s excellent 4 part read.
The Great Jet Set: Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum, and the New Fascists.
The road to totalitarianism
Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum (WEF) are godless and have no power. What Schwab and the WEF have is influence and it provides a road map to power. The Great Reset, taken to its logical conclusion by the countries represented at the forum, can end only in totalitarianism. The WEF is the mother of all woke progressive organizations. And Klaus Schwab is a kingmaker prophet selling a product they all want—absolute power. The WEF provides a roadmap to get there under the guise of environmental and humanitarian virtue. In other words, to achieve absolute power, the government must deceive and scare its citizens.
Noble lies and government power grabs
“With the threat of a climate apocalypse serving as Plato’s Noble Lie, Marxist-style government power grabs are taking place all over the Western world. But Marxism could never survive on its own because Marxist economics don’t work. So, it must always adopt a fascist element, loosening government restrictions on private property and a market economy; not totally, but as the Chinese have done: “socialism with Chinese characteristics.” The addition of ESG—Environmental, Social, and Governance—is that fascist element. A kind of coercive corporate social credit system, once compliance is fully in place, will bring all industries to the government's heel. The path to totalitarianism, you see, is quite clear.”—Larry Taunton
Enforcing Woke Ideology on Publicly Traded Corporations
ESG refers to the environmental, social and governance information about a firm. It is a set of nonfinancial standards for a company’s operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments.
Companies fulfilling ESG standards get a de facto seal of approval with a score from the global corporate and financial community, led by the World Economic Forum, which has been promoting the initiative for years. ESG is also being sponsored by the European Union, which is reviewing whether internationally traded companies are complying with the checklist.
ESG’s environmental sustainability criteria includes a company’s energy use, its adherence to pollution standards, and treatment of animals and nature. The social criteria includes whether a company supports racial, gender, and sexual diversity, and paying their employees a fair wage, while the governance criteria includes promoting diversity on executive boards and corporate transparency.
“ESG is business social credit. It’s a means to control capital, keep businesspeople in line with the narrative, and, ultimately, control everyone. ESG is the devil.”—Elon Musk. ESG is the way for elites to use our banking system to control our economy and everything else about our lives.
China is a role model for control
China expanded its brutal crackdown this weekend on protesters over the government’s zero tolerance measures to control Covid. The crackdown follows comments from Klaus Schwab who said China was a “role model” in how to handle the virus. He also said that “the Chinese model is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries.” Schwab’s “very attractive model” includes the denial of free speech, forced confinements and arrests for millions.
Big government transformation
Klaus Schwab is conspiring with his global comrades, who are in control of countries and businesses, to take over the world. His objective is to help his disciples “transform” their countries, just as the progressives (i.e., socialists) want to do in the US. They can do so only via massive wealth redistribution, which is required to gain the political support required to transform their countries from free enterprise market economies into big government (centrally planned) socialism. Ginning up race and class warfare resentment, with bogus narratives like environmental [racial equity] justice is one way to gain public support for the transformation plan. In short, politicians must buy votes and deceive.
The Great Reset
Schwab said his “Great Reset” is to “revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions.” His disciples want power, influence, and control. For these wannabe tyrants to achieve their objectives, they will need the full authority of the state and the cooperation of big corporations that control the narratives parroted by compliant and useful idiot media.
The haves will rule the have-nots
If taken to its logical conclusion, the Great Reset will lead to a bifurcated world of haves and have-nots. The rich and powerful political and corporate elites will live with their servants in walled mansions, similar in purpose if not in appearance to castle keeps. Private cars, jets, chefs, and protective security will extend the quarantine for the few living in luxury. Everyone else, the unwashed and compliant government-subsidized masses, who Schwab calls “useless eaters” will live in high-density mega complexes forced to take mass transit to work. Welcome to the new Middle Ages, where all but a privileged few are immiserated.
