What Is the Great Reset?
... the idea of the Great Reset... can be traced at least as far back as the inception of the WEF, originally founded as the European Management Forum, in 1971....
The Great Reset aims to usher in a bewildering economic amalgam - Schwab’s stakeholder capitalism - which I have called "corporate socialism" and Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben has called "communist capitalism."...
In brief, stakeholder capitalism involves the behavioral modification of corporations to benefit not shareholders, but stakeholders—individuals and groups that stand to benefit or lose from corporate behavior....
In opposing that [free enterprise] system, stakeholder capitalism entails corporate cooperation with the state and vastly increased government intervention in the economy....
Another way of describing the goal of the Great Reset is "capitalism with Chinese characteristics" - a two-tiered economy, with profitable monopolies and the state on top and socialism for the majority below....
The draconian lockdown measures employed by Western governments managed to accomplish goals of which corporate socialists in the WEF could only dream - above all, the destruction of small businesses...
Other developments that advance the Great Reset agenda have included unfettered immigration, travel restrictions for otherwise legal border crossing, the Federal Reserve’s unrestrained printing of money and the subsequent inflation, increased taxation...
... corporations become what I have called "governmentalities" - otherwise private organizations wielded as state apparatuses, with no obligation to answer to pesky voters. Since these corporations are multinational, the state essentially becomes globalist, whether or not a one-world government is ever formalized....
... the COVID crisis has accelerated the Great Reset. Monopolistic corporations have consolidated their grip on the economy from above, while socialism continues to advance for the rest of us below....
Because the goals of the Great Reset depend on the obliteration not only of free markets, but of individual liberty and free will, it is, perhaps ironically, unsustainable. Like earlier attempts at totalitarianism, the Great Reset is doomed to ultimate failure....

Klaus Schwab: Young Global Leaders Penetrated Cabinets, 29 January 2022:
Transcript:
When I mentioned our names like Mrs. Merkel, even Vladimir Putin and so on, they all have been young global leaders of the World Economic Forum.
But what we are very proud of now as a young generation like prime minister Trudeau, the president of Brazil, of Argentina and so on, that we penetrate the cabinets.
So yesterday I was at a reception for prime minister Trudeau and I would know that half of this cabinet or even more half of - uh half of subscribers - are actually young global leaders of the World Economic Forum.
(And that's true in Argentina too as well.)
That's true in Argentina and its true in France now with a president who is a young global leader, but what is important...
Great Reset in Action: World Economic Forum's Communist 'Digital Identity' Scheme (Video), RAIR Foundation 20 February 2022:
The WEF’s digital identity scheme is laying the foundation for a global social credit system that will give them the power to control citizens and punish those they deem "untrustworthy."
In February 2022, Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF) released a new report, "Advancing Digital Agency: The Power of Data Intermediaries," which lays out their plans for the creation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a fusion of the "physical, digital and biological world."
The unelected WEF globalists have capitalized on Covid and are using the "vaccine passports" to lay the foundation for widespread digital identity adoption. This is just one more part of the great reset in action...
Such a digital identity can be used, among other things, to access your health insurance treatments, monitor health devices and your phones, open a bank account and carry out financial transactions....
Banks will take an individual’s social behavior, both online and offline, into account in the crediting process; This is called Alternative Credit Scoring,...
The WEF future includes constant surveillance of human beings and their surroundings through the Internet of Bodies (IoB) ecosystem. This ecosystem connects human beings with technology through devices allowing the forum to obtain massive amounts of data on an individual....
Although Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum would like the world to believe their goals are to improve our "health" and "well-being," however, they intend to dominate human beings on a global scale.

World Economic Forum pushes digital ID system that will determine access to services - The digital ID system proposes monitoring online behavior, purchases, biometrics, and more, by Tom Parker, Reclaim The Net, 22 February 2022:
The World Economic Forum (WEF), an international organization that works to "shape global, regional and industry agendas," recently published its latest dystopian proposal – a far-reaching digital ID system that will collect as much data as possible on individuals and then use this data to determine their level of access to various services.
This digital ID proposal is outlined in a report titled "Advancing Digital Agency: The Power of Data Intermediaries" and builds upon a digital ID framework that the WEF has published previously.
Once the digital ID has access to this huge, highly personal data set, the WEF proposes using it to decide whether users are allowed to "own and use devices," "open bank accounts," "carry out online financial transactions," "conduct business transactions," "access insurance, treatment," "book trips," "go through border control between countries or regions," "access third-party services that rely on social media logins," "file taxes, vote, collect benefits," and more....
In this Advancing Digital Agency: The Power of Data Intermediaries report, the WEF positions this digital ID framework as the part of the solution to a "trust gap in data sharing" and notes that vaccine passports, which were mandated across the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, do "by nature serve as a form of digital identity."...
