off-guardian | Like everyone, I would love to live in a
pollution-free world. I would love to see human civilization strike a
balance with nature and at the risk of sounding like a naïve idealist, I
sincerely do believe that this is ultimately our destiny as a species.
My personal experience has led me to the conclusion that we have only
failed to achieve this paradigm as a species due to the system (and
cultural influence) of oligarchism which has managed to stubbornly sink
its claws parasitically onto its host for a few too many generations-
corrupting and perverting everything that it dominates.
Due to the pervasiveness of oligarchism, mass exploitation, wars and
pollution have lain waste to ecosystems and countless human lives alike,
and as the neo-liberal order continues to careen towards the inevitable
breakdown of a 2 quadrillion dollar derivatives bubble which our
un-repentant decades of decadence has caused, very serious choices will
need to be made.
False Remedies to the Oncoming Meltdown
Many false solutions will be presented as society wakes up to the
burning building it is trapped in, and unless our minds have become
aware of those false solutions, (not to mention those arsonists managing
this fire from the top), then many well-intentioned souls from all
walks of life may sign onto their own death warrants and accidentally
usher in a solution far worse than the disease they sought to remedy.
Before you, dear reader, accuse me of being overly dramatic in my
claims, let me bring your attention to a June 3rd event sponsored by the
World Economic Forum (WEF) entitled The Great Reset
featuring impassioned calls by leaders of the IMF, World Bank, UK, USA,
corporate and banking sector to take advantage of COVID-19 to shut down
and “reset” the world economy under a new operating system entitled the
Green New Deal.
WEF founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab said:
“the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions… Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”
Schwab’s message was amplified by Prince Charles who gushed over this
golden opportunity to radically modify human behaviour in ways that
decades of environmentalism have failed to accomplish when he said:
“We have a golden opportunity to seize something good from this [COVID-19] crisis. Its unprecedented shockwaves may well make people more receptive to big visions of change,”
While the World Economic Forum is usually known as a forum of global
corporate elites, this organization branched out in recent years to
become a leader in global pandemic coordination as a co-sponsor of the
creepy October 2019 Event 201
and has embraced leaders of typically “anti-capitalist” resistance
groups like Greenpeace who now speak regularly at their events.
Jennifer Morgan (current head of Greenpeace) stated at the event:
We set up a new world order after World War II… We’re now in a different world than we were then. We need to ask, what can we be doing differently? The World Economic Forum has a big responsibility in that as well—to be pushing the reset button and looking at how to create well-being for people and for the Earth.”
So is this definition of international wellbeing truly what it
appears? Or does something more nefarious lurk under the surface? How
can we know?
