Introducing the 'Great Reset,' world leaders' radical plan to transform the economy BY JUSTIN HASKINS, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 06/25/20 11:00 AM EDT
For decades, progressives have attempted to use climate change to justify liberal policy changes. But their latest attempt – a new proposal called the “Great Reset” – is the most ambitious and radical plan the world has seen in more than a generation.
At a virtual meeting earlier in June hosted by the World Economic Forum, some of the planet’s most powerful business leaders, government officials and activists announced a proposal to “reset” the global economy. Instead of traditional capitalism, the high-profile group said the world should adopt more socialistic policies, such as wealth taxes, additional regulations and massive Green New Deal-like government programs.
“Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed,” wrote Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, in an article published on WEF’s website. “In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”
Joining Schwab at the WEF event was Prince Charles, one of the primary proponents of the Great Reset; Gina Gopinath, the chief economist at the International Monetary Fund; António Guterres, the secretary-general of the United Nations; and CEOs and presidents of major international corporations, such as Microsoft and BP.
Activists from groups such as Greenpeace International and a variety of academics also attended the event or have expressed their support for the Great Reset.
The world needs massive new government programs and far-reaching policies comparable to those offered by American socialists such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in their Green New Deal plan.
Or, put another way, we need a form of socialism — a word the World Economic Forum has deliberately avoided using, all while calling for countless socialist and progressive plans.
“We have a golden opportunity to seize something good from this crisis — its unprecedented shockwaves may well make people more receptive to big visions of change,” said Prince Charles at the meeting, adding later, “It is an opportunity we have never had before and may never have again.”
You might be wondering how these leaders plan to convince the world to completely alter its economy over the long run, since the COVID-19 pandemic most assuredly won’t remain a crisis forever. The answer is that they’ve already identified another “crisis” that will require expansive government intervention: Climate change.
The last time a socialist tried "fair access" we had the Barvarian communist government saying, "What does it matter? ... Most of it goes to the children of the bourgeoisie anyway. We are not interested in keeping them alive. No harm if they die – they’d only grow into enemies of the proletariat."
And "sustainability" from Lysenkoism and the Smash Sparrows campaign.
“The Great Reset” is a commitment to jointly and urgently build the foundations of our economic and social system for a more fair, sustainable and resilient future.
It requires a new social contract centred on human dignity, social justice and where societal progress does not fall behind economic development.

“COVID-19 has accelerated our transition into the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. We have to make sure that the new technologies in the digital, biological and physical world remain human-centred and serve society as a whole, providing everyone with fair access,” he said.
“This global pandemic has also demonstrated again how interconnected we are. We have to restore a functioning system of smart global cooperation structured to address the challenges of the next 50 years. The Great Reset will require us to integrate all stakeholders of global society into a community of common interest, purpose and action,” said Schwab. “We need a change of mindset, moving from short-term to long-term thinking, moving from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder responsibility. Environmental, social and good governance have to be a measured part of corporate and governmental accountability,” he added.

Streamers worried about getting their content pulled because they used music they didn't pay for should be more worried by the fact that they're streaming games they didn't pay for as well. It's all gone as soon as publishers decide to enforce it.
The real truth is the streamers should be paying the developers and publishers of the games they stream. They should be buying a license like any real business and paying for the content they use.

After banning @BretWeinstein, demonetizing @TheBabylonBee, curtailing the bombshell @nypost Biden exposé, Facebook is now banning conservative pages (e.g.: “I, Hypocrite” and “God Emperor Trump”) Big tech is openly interfering in the election and declaring war on conservatives

Since twitter has locked out the NYPost for violating rules that no longer stand as rules (but twitter won't revisit past enforcement decisions) the NY Post COULD end this standoff by deleting the tweets that broke the rules (thus unlocking its account) then tweet them out again

There's an odd Great Reset section in Time that links the Great Reset to Sompo Group, Palantir Technologies Inc. and Peter Thiel. Strangely no mention of WEF.

SOMPO possesses a treasure trove of ‘real data’ – data acquired through sensors that detect real-world activities. The company has amassed vast volumes of valuable information on accidents, catastrophes, lifestyles, health and nursing care. Using that information, SOMPO provides solutions that prevent accidents and illness. SOMPO handles its data with care and the utmost respect for privacy because it values the trust of its customers.
Last November, the firm forged an alliance with Palantir Technologies Inc. of the United States to found Palantir Technologies Japan. In 2020, Palantir Technologies Inc.’s advanced software platforms were deployed to support the global COVID-19 response at institutions including the U.S. Department of Defense, multiple U.S. government health agencies, the United Kingdom’s National Health Service, and others.

What Is Palantir? Never Profitable Company, Born With Help of CIA Seed Money, Makes Market Debut BY AILA SLISCO ON 10/1/20 AT 12:16 AM EDT
Government contracts are believed to be a major source of revenue for the company co-founded in 2003 by Peter Thiel, the tech billionaire also known as the co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Facebook who still sits in its board of directors. It was founded with the help of "CIA seed money" and has never been profitable, according to the Associated Press.
On September 17, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Jesús "Chuy" García (D-Ill.) wrote a letter to Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton, urging an investigation of the company before it went public.
A BuzzFeed report from earlier in September claimed that Thiel "hosted a dinner with" Kevin DeAnna, "one of the most influential and vocal white nationalists in modern-day America," while campaigning for Trump in the summer of 2016. Thiel has not publicly spoken in support of the president during the current election cycle.
My question is, how can anybody think this is anything besides self serving? All the people in support of this have vast wealth and power. They could just do these things that they want without requiring an economic overhaul.
So why don't they? The only rational answer is they don't care about the nice sounding stuff that's supposed to help everybody else. They just want more wealth and power for themselves. It's literally the only explanation.
Who the hell do they think they are?! No one voted for any of them and the world didn't agree to any of this!
It was the fucking lady in the lake. They think they have divine providence.
Ahh, the rallying cry of the communist. They don't care if you don't want a revolution, they need to keep in front of the angry mob that's demanding to know where this fucking paradise they've been promising since they killed all the bankers is and they need someone to throw in front of it, so hand over everything sonny jim, we've got ourselves an apparatchik to save!
Quality post.
Well that's fucking horrifying.
