The Great Reset
The Great Reset is defined as a means of addressing the 'weaknesses of Capitalism' that were purported exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. But, the idea goes back farther than that, at least to 1971 with the original formation of the World Economic Forum. It introduces the concept of 'stakeholder Capitalism', where management of a modern enterprise must serve not only shareholders, but all stakeholders to achieve long term growth and prosperity. The term Great Reset came into general circulation with the publication of a book by that name in 2010. In 2020, the WEF announced the Great Reset's official launch. They said that COVID represents an 'opportunity that can be seized'. Another way of describing The Great Reset 's 'Capitalism with Chinese characteristics'. Developments that advance The Great Reset agenda are: unfettered immigration, travel restrictions, unrestrained printing of money, inflation, increased taxation, increased dependence on the state, broken supply chains, job losses due to vaccine mandates, prospect of personal carbon allowances, and more. Such policies reflect the 'fairness' aspect of the Great Reset - fairness means lowering the economic status of people in wealthier nations like the US relative to people in poorer nations. To do this, the people in the wealthier nations have to feel guilty about their wealth. This is the social justice aspect. With no obligation to answer to pesky voters, the great reset can be implemented without obstacles. As history can tell us, this concept will never work. But, in the meantime, it will leave a lot of destruction in its wake.

The 2024 election emergency

The climate crisis continues to get panicked airtime in the legacy media and from left wing politicians around the world. Expect no 'deceleration' from either on this subject. It is the political emergency we are facing for the 2024 election cycle.

We all know that the 2024 Presidential election will both mirror 2020 and upgrade the lunacy. It was considered critical by the worldwide left that a Democrat be elected President of the United States in 2020, or their agenda would be set back decades. Now that they achieved that and re-established their agenda, a little taste of sin means that another Democrat President in 2024 is even more critical.

Expect all hell to break lose both before and after the election. Before the election, another round of emergencies and associated hysteria if everyone does not follow orders. After, if by some wild chance a Republican is elected President, expect prolonged protests & riots in the streets. Not an 'insurrection', of course, just citizens honest concern for the country and the planet.

Where does climate change fit in here - it is the supposed emergency, an existential crisis. What it is, is a political strategy! As Steven E Koonin points out in his book Unsettled, climate change is neither a hoax or a crisis.

Below are two posts from earlier this year reacting to climate catastrophes that were supposedly occurring in plain site. They fit into and shed light on today's discussion very well.

'endless climate absurdities'

'simplistic political narratives'
