The Great Reset was laid out a decade ago by the Rockefeller Foundation (showed you the rabbit hole last saturday, but nobody went in head first)
“In 2012, the pandemic that the world had been
anticipating for years finally hit. Unlike 2009’s H1N1, this new
influenza strain — originating from wild geese — was extremely virulent
and deadly. Even the most pandemic-prepared nations
were quickly overwhelmed when the virus streaked around the world,
infecting nearly 20 percent of the global population and killing 8
million in just seven months…”
Then the scenario gets very interesting:
“The pandemic also had a deadly effect on
economies: international mobility of both people and goods screeched to a
halt, debilitating industries like tourism and breaking global supply
chains. Even locally, normally bustling shops and
office buildings sat empty for months, devoid of both employees and customers.” This sounds eerily familiar.
“During the pandemic, national leaders around the
world flexed their authority and imposed airtight rules and
restrictions, from the mandatory wearing of face masks to
body-temperature checks at the entries to communal spaces like train
stations and supermarkets. Even after the pandemic faded, this more
authoritarian control and oversight of citizens and their activities
stuck and even intensified. In order to protect themselves from the
spread of increasingly global problems — from pandemics
and transnational terrorism to environmental crises and rising poverty —
leaders around the world took a firmer grip on power.”
At first, the notion of a more controlled world gained wide acceptance and approval. Citizens willingly gave up some of their sovereignty-and their privacy- to more paternalistic states in for greater safety and stability. Citizens
were more tolerant, and even eager, for top-down direction and oversight,
and national leaders had more latitude to impose order in the ways they
saw fit. In developed countries, this heightened oversight took many
forms: biometric IDs for all citizens,
for example, and tighter regulation of key industries whose stability
was deemed vital to national interests. In many developed countries,
enforced cooperation with a suite of new regulations and agreements
slowly but steadily restored both order and, importantly,
economic growth.
