\u201cTo create a dystopian world like the one embodied in the Great Reset Conspiracy Theory, no conspiracy is needed.\u201d \u2014 Eric van de Beek<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Due to the lockdowns, many people around the world are losing their jobs, businesses are going bankrupt and governments are indebting themselves to the hilt. Those who believe that the negative impact of the coronavirus measures are more damaging than the lives being saved have started asking themselves: Is there a hidden agenda behind it all?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Last week marked the 50th annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. For the first time, the forum was held in a virtual setting, with no heads of state, captains of industry and others physically attending. The theme of this year\u2019s sessions:\u00a0The Great Reset<\/strong>.<\/a><\/h4>\n

The Great Reset has become a buzzword in circles of conspiracy thinkers<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n

Some think that it refers to global financial elites and world leaders that planned the pandemic, deliberately letting loose a coronavirus to cause conditions that will allow a restructuring of the economy, the financial system, politics and society. They refer to the pandemic as a \u2018plandemic\u2019. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Others refrain from any opinion about the cause of the pandemic and merely think the elites are just taking advantage of the virus. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Many believe the main goal of the Great Reset is to take global control by instituting a totalitarian regime, and by extension, a so-called new world order. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Such a regime would abolish personal ownership and property rights, send the military into cities, impose mandatory vaccination, and create isolation camps for people who resist.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or be thrown into \u201cisolation camps for people who resist.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

[LD]\u00a0 This is already being done in Germany where \u201cdetention camps<\/span><\/a>\u201c\u2014concentration camps in all but name\u2014are being set up for Covid \u201ccriminals\u201d. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

First-hand reports also come from Canada about forced quarantine in Canada\u2019s coronavirus internment camps<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0 *<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In Britain, the situation rapidly spins out of control.\u00a0 Here totalitarianism begins to rear its ugly head ominously, with controversial plans being set in motion to fine Covid \u201ccheats\u201d \u00a310,000 ($13,800) and sentence them to TEN YEARS in prison. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cThe purpose behind the Government\u2019s invoking of imprisonment,\u201d columnist\u00a0 Stephen Glover notes in the <\/strong>Daily Mail,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> \u201cis to instil fear. Rule by fear is often effective.\u201d\u00a0 (See \u201cA decade in prison for lying where you travelled? It\u2019s laughable. Some have served less for murder<\/span>.\u201d<\/a>) <\/a>\u00a0The former head of the British government\u2019s legal department, Sir Jonathan Jones, tweeted scornfully: \u201cIf anyone is ever sentenced to ten years for lying on a form, I\u2019ll eat my mask.\u201d [LD]<\/strong><\/h4>\n

*\u00a0 A respected reader informs us in a comment that the reference made to Canada is unfair and gives false information. There are no such mega-camps in Canada, she points out, adding: \u201cThis is a slimy, dishonest move. The man in Canada was placed into a decent HOTEL.\u201d (See comment made by Wyandotte below<\/em>).<\/h4>\n

Conspiracy thinking has become a derogatory term. And, in fact, there are many examples of conspiracy theories that are ludicrous. But at the same time, conspiracy theories have often turned out to be conspiracy facts. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

And so what to make of The Big Reset Conspiracy Theory?<\/h4>\n

A hidden agenda<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is understandable that people have started asking themselves why governments have taken such draconian measures to stop the pandemic. The virus may be deadlier than the flu, but it\u2019s not a killer virus like ebola or the Spanish Flu. To many, the cure seems worse than the disease.<\/h4>\n

Due to coronavirus lockdown measures, many are suffering from severe physical and psychological stress. They have lost jobs or have gone bankrupt. Their governments are indebting themselves to the hilt. The World Food Programme (WFP) executive director, David Beasley,\u00a0has warned\u00a0that the world<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0faces \u201cmultiple famines of biblical proportions\u201d that could result in 300,000 deaths per day \u2014 a \u201chunger pandemic\u201d. Financial\u00a0experts have warned<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0we are bringing ourselves to the brink of a financial crisis, one that could be worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s.<\/h4>\n

To an increasing number of people it seems that the lives that are being destroyed by the coronavirus lockdown measures outweigh the work of saving lives, by far.<\/h4>\n

Many therefore have started to think there\u2019s a hidden agenda behind it all. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

This agenda, to conspiracy theorists, is called The Great Reset, and in their view, it is being masterminded by the global elites via the World Economic Forum in Davos. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Klaus Schwab, 82, who founded the forum 50 years ago and is still leading it,\u00a0is sometimes depicted<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on social and alternative media as the character Blofeld from the James Bond films: a bald-headed villain, holding a white cat, who directs the international criminal organisation SPECTRE and aspires world dominance.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

KLAUS\u00a0 SCHWAB, German engineer and economist,<\/strong>
\nthe alleged mastermind behind the Great Reset,<\/strong>
\noften compared to a James Bond villain.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Schwab co-authored a book\u00a0published in July 2020\u00a0entitled \u2018Covid-19: The Great Reset<\/span>\u2019<\/a>.<\/strong> I\u2019ve read this book and\u2014to be honest \u2014 I didn\u2019t find anything in the book\u00a0 that substantiates the Great Reset Conspiracy Theory. There\u2019s nothing new or particularly controversial here.<\/h4>\n

As editor Andrew Stuttaford of the National Review puts it<\/strong>:<\/a>\u00a0\u201cCOVID-19 is just the latest excuse for Schwab to renew his longstanding campaign to replace free market capitalism with stakeholder capitalism.\u201d<\/h4>\n

Moreover, many of the ideals expressed by Schwab in his book, coauthored with his wife, are inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals\u00a0of the United Nations (UN) that were set in 2015 and are intended to be achieved in the year 2030.<\/h4>\n

The catch phrase \u201cbuilding back better\u201d that was\u00a0used in Joe Biden\u2019s election<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0campaign and in speeches of\u00a0Boris Johnson,\u00a0Justin Trudeau\u00a0and other world leaders does not stem from the WEF\u2019s Great Reset initiative as is often claimed by conspiracy thinkers. It\u2019s been part of the of the UN\u2019s vocabulary\u00a0for at least 15 years.<\/h4>\n

And so: Move along, nothing to see here? No conspiracy going on at the WEF in Davos?<\/h4>\n

LD: Not so. It\u2019s not as simple as that. The world has changed irreparably in the last year.\u00a0 And all the ideas implicit in the Great Reset have now come to the fore. There\u2019s no going back to \u201cthe good old days\u201d. It\u2019s now a one-way street to a world dystopia.\u00a0 Unless, of course, remedial action is taken without delay. [LD]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Danger of totalitarianism looming<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There isn\u2019t a shred of evidence the coronavirus was brought into the world on purpose. But at the same time it\u2019s a known fact that, with every crisis, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.<\/h4>\n

\u201cThe 1,000 richest people on the planet recouped their COVID-19 losses within just nine months,\u201d\u00a0NGO Oxfam reported<\/span><\/a>\u00a0last week on the opening day of the WEF. \u201cBut it could take more than a decade for the world\u2019s poorest to recover from the economic impacts of the pandemic.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Did wealthy actors take advantage of the coronavirus by pushing governments into taking draconian measures that would cause a worldwide economic crisis? As far as I know, there\u2019s no supporting evidence for this theory at all.<\/h4>\n

However, concerns about the development towards authoritarianism or totalitarianism need to be taken very seriously. Western governments have taken a set of freedom-restricting measures that are unprecedented in peacetime. As the Austrian-British economist\u00a0Friedrich Hayek put it<\/span><\/a>:<\/strong> \u201cEmergencies have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.\u201d<\/h4>\n

Governments are always eager to take more control over society\u2014and once they\u2019ve taken it, they will never easily let go of it.<\/h4>\n

Will governments send the military into the streets to crack down on demonstrations? Will they impose mandatory vaccination and create isolation camps for people who resist?<\/h4>\n

In some European countries, including the UK and The Netherlands, politicians have already suggested sending in the military to assist the police. In Germany, four federal states declared<\/strong><\/a> having plans to detain repeated quarantine breakers in facilities that historically have been either detention or refugee centres.<\/h4>\n

[LD: See my comment above, beginning with the words, \u201cThis is already being done in Germany\u2026\u201d]<\/h4>\n

To force people into taking a vaccination, governments do not have to make them mandatory. They can simply exclude people that aren\u2019t vaccinated from activities like travel.\u00a0Such measures are already being prepared<\/a><\/span>. The more people that have been vaccinated, the harder it will become for vaccination refusers to resist.<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cTo create a dystopian world like the one embodied<\/strong>
\nin the Reset Conspiracy Theory, no conspiracy is needed.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The erosion of freedom in the West started with the lockdown of the Hubei province in China,\u00a0\u201cleaked\u201d videos from Wuhan<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0of apocalyptic scenes likened to Zombieland and The Walking Dead \u2013 and with The World Health Organisation (WHO), imploring the world to \u201ccopy China\u2019s response\u201c. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

With one country after another following in China\u2019s footsteps, pressure increased on governments that initially responded in a more relaxed or thoughtful manner. No malevolent intentions were needed to get us to where we are now.<\/h4>\n

All it took was a global mass hysteria and\u00a0 peer pressured governments that overreacted or simply took the wrong measures.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n

All it took was global mass hysteria
\nto bring us to point where we are now.<\/h4>\n

Last but not least, fear struck, paralysing citizens who\u2014without putting up any serious resistance to this erosion of their liberties\u2014allowed themselves to be led like sheep to the slaughterhouse.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

One step at a time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How many more steps before we reach rockbottom?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Original\u00a0 source<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

LD: One final comment from me. By sheer chance I happen to be reading at the present time an acclaimed biography of Adolf Hitler<\/span><\/a>. I came across this fascinating quotation on page 568 of this monumental tome running to 868 pages. It is Hitler addressing the three supreme military leaders his armed forces, all anxious to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and advising restraint. This secret meeting occurred in the German Chancellery in November 1939, just as World War II in its early stages was gathering momentum. \u201c<\/strong>In struggle I see the fate of all beings<\/strong><\/em>,\u201d Hitler declared. \u201c<\/strong>Nobody can avoid fighting if he does not want to go under.<\/strong><\/em>\u201d America\u2019s disillusioned political dissidents\u2014I refer in particular to the patriotic militias\u2014need to bear these compelling words in mind. Unless they fight for their country in its hour of looming doom, unless they make a stand before it is too late, they will go under. The choice is theirs: either to fight or perish.
