“What is the Great Reset?”: A Blatant Propaganda Video by the World Economic Forum
VC
The video “What is the Great Reset?” is a bizarre piece of PR / propaganda. At face value, it appears to say “don’t worry about the Great Reset, we love you all very much”. However, through coercive words and powerful symbols, the message most people get is “we’re doing this … whether you like it or not”.
Through its condescending tone and obnoxious, over-simplistic phrasing, the video is basically about the elite talking down to the peasants, especially those who dare question its plans. And, if the goal of this video was to quell concerns about the Great Reset, it failed miserably. Proof: About 99.9% of the comments on YouTube are extremely negative. Here are some examples.
Here’s the video:
This video is important and worth analyzing for several reasons. First, it was produced by the World Economic Forum (WEF) itself. As stated in several past articles, the WEF is one of those non-democratic elite organizations that set social and economic policies on a global level. In other words, if the WEF releases a video about something, it has the power to actually make it happen. In fact, it is probably already happening.
Second, this is not one of those feel-good “let’s fight the pandemic together” videos. It actually announces the “death of capitalism as we know it” – in those very words. It announces drastic, historical, and structural changes on a global level. It announces a New World Order.
This is the video description on YouTube:
The pandemic has radically changed the world as we know it, and the actions we take today, as we work to recover, will define our generation. It’s why the World Economic Forum is calling for a new form of capitalism, one that puts people and planet first, as we come together to rebuild the world after COVID-19.
The first sentence of this description sets the overarching narrative: The pandemic destroyed the world and the elite is going to fix it. However, that description contains one glaring omission: The pandemic itself did not “radically change the world” – it is the response to it that changed it. And this response was dictated by the very elite that is now lecturing us about a Great Reset.
Indeed, instead of tackling the pandemic with a balanced and targeted approach that’s focused on people who are actually at risk, the elite insisted on shutting down small and medium businesses for months, eliminating millions of jobs in the process. Meanwhile, elite-owned mega-corporations were allowed to strive.
Then, after suffocating the masses for nearly a full year, the WEF says that the system is broken. But they broke it. And before they broke it, we were actually in the midst of the longest economic recovery on record. I am not saying that capitalism as we know is perfect. However, we are being presented a “solution” to a problem they’ve purposely created. In short: Order of out chaos.
Here’s a look at this video.
In Your Face
Usually, PR efforts by elite organizations hide their true intentions with flowery words and meaningless sentences. But this thing is blatant.
Of course, it has to start with the elite’s complete obsession with seeing the entire world wearing masks. They’re particularly excited when children wear them.
At the beginning of the video, we see a bunch of people donning masks in a semi-ritualistic manner: A sign of submission to the elite.
Then, we hear UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres describing the pandemic as an “opportunity”.
In a weird shot that includes a massive full-moon, Guterres talks about “hope” brought by vaccines. He also adds: “there’s no vaccine for the planet, nature needs a bailout”. In other words: If COVID hysteria ever goes away, it will immediately be replaced by global warming hysteria.
Then, the video treats us with the image of a building crumbling down as the narrator says: “With everything falling apart, we can reshape the world in ways we couldn’t before”. That’s powerful, near-subliminal imagery.
Not unlike the building above, the world is actually being subjected to controlled demolition. And they’ve placed the dynamites themselves. Why?
The narrator then says: “That’s why so many are calling for a Great Reset”.
Nobody (except for the elite) is calling for a Great Reset. Everybody (except for the elite) is calling for the complete restoration of freedoms.
Then, in a bizarre twist, the narrator talks about how the Great Reset sounds like a conspiracy.
“Great Reset? That sounds more like buzzword bingo masking some nefarious plan for world domination”.
While these words are uttered, powerful symbols are displayed.
While this image is meant to ridicule theories regarding the Great Reset, it actually depicts, with relative accuracy, what the Great Reset would achieve: The hand of the elite pulling the strings of the global economy.
Then, a fake newspaper with the headline: “Global Elite’s Plan For Your Future”.
Once again, while this headline is meant to address critics, it is also unconsciously assimilated by viewers to the first degree. The contents of this fake article are quite revealing:
The Great Reset is well-documented.
The Great Reset has been labeled a conspiracy theory and parts of it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but everything we know about it comes from the global elites themselves, who have been quite open about it.
“This is not a conspiracy theory, this is a well-documented movement among many of the world’s most powerful people,” says Justin Haskins, the editorial director at the Heartland Institute and a leading authority on the Great Reset, “fundamentally, this is a radical and complete transformation of everything that we do in our society,” Haskins adds, “it will change the way businesses are evaluated, it will coerce businesses to pursue left-wing causes.”
The Great Reset was unveiled at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where many of the world’s most powerful people go to offer solutions to the world’s problems. They have said that the coronavirus pandemic as a historic opportunity to change the way the world operates.
COVID-19 pandemic as an “opportunity” to change everything.
A World Economic Forum video warns, “Right now we’re facing a crisis of international proportions. It’s going to have a long-term impact on us”.
And their solution is essentially global socialism. Think of the Green New Deal combined with the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions and throw in something called the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in which technology is supposed to radically change the way we live and work.
Haskins says: “The elites, the technocrats in society, the most educated people”, see the chance to “control and manipulate society, pull the levers in society so that it’s in their minds, perfect.”
As you can see, the contents of this newspaper are not gibberish. It mentions Justin Haskins of Heartland Institute, a researcher from an actual think tank who has been warning about the massive scope of the Great Reset.
Right after, the video replicates a classic scene from the movie They Live (read my article about it here).
Through the lens of truth, the words “Great Reset” turn into “Obey!”
So the video acknowledges that the Great Reset sounds like a massive conspiracy to use COVID-19 to usher in global socialism. Then, instead of quelling these concerns, the video basically confirms them.
The narrator argues that the World Economic Forum is about “bringing people together”. She says:
“Whether its politicians, CEOs, academics, activists or you, we’re all about getting people toghter.”
Were YOU invited to the WEF? No, you weren’t. They don’t even want you to leave your house.
To illustrate people “coming together”, the video shows us this collage of powerful people (and elite-owned pawns).
The image above immediately reminded me of the very symbolic Economist cover from 2015 featuring figures of the world elite.
Then, citing the pandemic and global warming, the video gets rather extreme.
The video says: “Capitalism as we know it is dead”. To make things perfectly clear for us peasants, they’ve literally depicted a tombstone that says Capitalism RIP 2020.
About 23 seconds prior, the video was “addressing” critics claiming that the Great Reset was about global socialism. Then it literally shows a tombstone with the words “Capitalism RIP”. Once again, powerful imagery coming from a powerful place.
Then, the video introduces “stakeholder capitalism” – a system that would drastically change the way businesses and economies function.
“It’s for these reasons that the forum talks about something called stakeholder capitalism which would shift businesses away from just profit because, if we want to change where the focus of our recovery will go, then we need a new dashboard for the new economy. And that needs to encompass people, planet, prosperity, and institutions.”
While capitalism is based on a self-regulating system of offer and demand, the Great Reset looks to redefine the way businesses are evaluated through new parameters. The main one: Compliance to the elite’s social and political agendas.
Shortly after, the narrator utters this enigmatic sentence:
“And that’s all about getting the right people in the right place at the right time”.
While the video doesn’t quite explain what this sentence actually means in real-life situations, its implications are rather chilling. Instead of allowing successful individuals and businesses to grow organically, the elite’s system would interfere to “get the right people at the right place at the right time”, in accordance with its agenda. In other words, the system would be rigged and compliance to a wider agenda would be mandatory in a new economy.
The video ends with a call to viewers to get involved. However, of course, you’re not actually invited to the WEF. What they really want you to do is to shut up, wear a mask and stay home.
In Conclusion
If one watches the various videos posted by the World Economic Forum on YouTube, a common thread is easily discernable. 1- Scare people with catastrophic disasters (this video focused on COVID and global warming). 2- Present a drastic solution that involves a non-democratic elite entity regulating the entire world.
Despite all of the words being thrown around, the real issue at hand is freedom. A free market allows any citizen to create a business and make a living from it. And, as long as there’s a demand for it, the business can grow and everyone involved prospers. Free enterprise is a vector of freedom and allows those who succeed to live a comfortable life – no matter their social or political allegiances. It is all about numbers.
The Great Reset is looking to break this vector of freedom by introducing social and political components to the free market. If you do not comply, you do not succeed. Instead, they’ll put “the right person, at the right place, at the right time”.
