2:00

is attractive to those who love the

2:02

idea of top-down command and control. In

2:05

1971, when Schwab launched the WEF, it

2:07

was called the European Management Symposium. By

2:10

1975, the European Management Forum had attracted 860

2:12

participants, including the CEOs

2:15

and Chairman of the largest European

2:17

company. The European Management Forum also

2:19

entered into official cooperation with the

2:21

United Nations Industrial Development Organization. As

2:24

the WEF website grabs, after just five

2:26

years, the Forum had gained acceptance at

2:28

the highest levels of business and government.

2:30

While not advocating policy or strategy, the

2:32

Forum had become a respected organization that

2:35

served as a valuable platform for

2:37

business, government, health society, and

2:39

other stakeholders to confer and

2:41

collaborate. In 1987, the

2:43

European Management Forum changed its name to

2:45

the World Economic Forum, the WEF. Today,

2:49

the WEF hosts the most important

2:51

people on Earth. We have business,

2:53

of course, as

2:56

a very important audience, and we have politics,

2:58

we have continuous

3:03

partnerships with many governments around the

3:05

world, and of course

3:07

we have NGOs, we have trade

3:09

unions, we have all those different

3:11

parts, media, of course, media, of

3:13

course, and very

3:16

important experts and scientists

3:18

and academia. And those people gather

3:20

to coordinate their activities in changing

3:22

the world. The

3:26

future is built by us, by

3:29

a powerful community, as you

3:32

here in this room. We

3:35

have the means to improve

3:37

the streets of the world. We'll

3:39

get to more on the WEF in just one moment.

3:41

If all this makes you a little bit nervous about

3:43

the future of finance, well, maybe you might want to

3:45

think about investing a little bit in

3:47

gold. The dollar continues to lose buying power

3:49

quicker than wages can increase. How are you

3:51

protecting your savings these days? Consider diversifying with

3:53

gold from the Birch Gold Group. For decades,

3:56

gold has been the choice of investors and

3:58

central banks to hedge against in the Gold

4:03

and Birch Gold can help you create a

4:05

well-thought-out and balanced investment strategy. They'll help you

4:07

4:51

what is the broader WEF

4:53

agenda? In June 2020, in

4:55

the middle of the COVID-19 global crisis, Schwab

4:57

wrote a piece on the WEF website. It

5:00

was titled, Now is the Time for a

5:02

Great Reset. In it, he

5:04

said, quote, the world must act jointly

5:06

and swiftly to revamp all aspects of

5:08

our society and economy from education to

5:10

social contracts and working conditions. Every

5:13

country, from the United States to China,

5:15

must participate, and every industry, from oil

5:18

and glass to tech, must be transformed.

5:20

In short, we need a great reset

5:22

of capitals. We must build entirely new

5:25

foundations for our economic and social systems.

5:27

That great reset would require heavy-handed

5:30

top-down power in pursuit of environmental

5:32

redistributionism, which would require massive social

5:34

restructuring. As Schwab himself says, quote,

5:36

it's hard to comprehend how the

5:39

move toward environmental sustainability could take

5:41

place without a concomitant move toward

5:43

social sustainability. Social sustainability

5:45

is, of course, a euphemism for social

5:47

engineering and the overthrow of market economies.

5:49

That's why people like Greta Thunberg show

5:51

up at Davos to pledge their lives

5:54

to overthrowing capitalism. What we refer

5:56

to as normal is an

5:58

extreme system. It is a

6:00

system. defined by colonialism, imperialism,

6:02

oppression, and genocide by the

6:04

so-called Global North. What the

6:06

WEF isn't so clear about is that the

6:09

great reset would involve great suffering, like a

6:11

lot of suffering. Schwab, in one of his

6:13

books, quotes a Malaysian businessman and founder of

6:15

the Global Institute for Tomorrow named Shandran Nair,

6:17

who explained, quote, I think the idea that

6:19

by 2050, 6 billion

6:21

Asians can or should aspire to live

6:24

like Europeans and Americans through a consumption,

6:26

resource-intense model, is essentially a big lie.

6:28

We can't deal with it through pious

6:30

statements and market instruments, but with draconian

6:32

rules. And those rules won't be provided

6:34

by markets, but only by institutions of

6:37

society. Call it the state. Lowered

6:39

living standards enforced by government hand

6:41

in glove with corporations. That's the

6:44

message. Asian governments need to reject

6:46

the Western model. They need to

6:48

move beyond the rhetoric of liberal

6:50

democratic capitalist systems, which say that

6:52

individual rights are sacrosanct. All of

6:54

this will usher in what Schwab

6:56

calls the Fourth Industrial Revolution. According

6:58

to Schwab, this Fourth Industrial Revolution

7:00

will be all about integrating into

7:02

a big data world driven by

7:04

government and business. It will involve,

7:06

quote, a fusion of technologies that

7:08

is blurring the lines between the physical,

7:10

digital, and biological spheres. One of the

7:12

features of this Fourth Industrial Revolution is

7:15

that it doesn't change what we are

7:17

doing, but it changes us. And

7:19

that, of course, will require even more

7:22

top-down design and control. So, what will

7:24

this great reset this new revolution look

7:26

like? Well, it could look like replacement

7:29

of traditional food sources by, say, alternative

7:31

protein sources like bugs. The Dallas Agenda

7:33

for 2022 included an article explaining, quote,

7:36

insect are an excellent alternative source of

7:38

protein and significantly reduced our carbon footprint.

7:40

How exciting. It could look like widespread

7:42

neuro-technological brain enhancements as Schwab suggests will

7:45

happen. Or maybe it'll just look like

7:47

the end of private property ownership altogether.

7:49

In 2016, the WEF released a video

7:51

predicting that by 2030, you'll own nothing

7:54

and you'll be happy. Almost

7:56

certainly. The new revolution will look like top-down

7:58

social engineering by the Big Data. brains, all

8:01

in the name of smoothing out the bumps of

8:03

technological change. Negulators will work hand in glove with

8:05

big business to work out the rules for your

8:07

life. As Schwab writes, quote,

8:09

government and regulatory agencies will need to

8:12

collaborate closely with business and civil society.

8:15

Notice that no point in this proposed structure does

8:17

either liberty or representative democracy

8:19

really play a role. That's because liberty

8:21

might suggest the relevance of the honchos

8:23

at the W.E.F. might suggest that they

8:26

themselves are the attractive force in the

8:28

way of human happiness. And representative

8:30

democracy is too messy and slow for

8:32

the fast changing world that W.E.F. wants.

8:34

You need regulators working with business to

8:36

change the rules at a moment's notice.

8:39

The only solution, according to the W.E.F.,

8:41

is the very important people at the

8:43

W.E.F., working in the name of a

8:45

vague general will that never requires actual

8:47

accountability to anyone. If all of this

8:49

sounds frightening, that's because it is. The

8:52

arrogance of a business and governmental elite

8:54

seeking to control the W.E.F. is absolutely

8:56

breathtaking. The policies discussed at Davos

8:58

shape the elite cast in nearly all

9:00

western countries. When you hear about the

9:02

end of carbon-based fossil fuels, or global

9:04

tax regimes, or corporate governmental cooperation, a

9:06

lot of that is coming from Davos

9:08

and the World Economic Forum. When

9:11

people talk about the globalists, the folks they

9:13

most often meet are people like Klaus Schwab.

9:15

And when those globalists get together at Davos,

9:17

understand the ideas that they are discussing will

9:19

have real world effect on you, your business,

9:21

your church, and your family.
