Introducing the ‘Great Reset’
For decades, progressives have attempted to use climate change to justify liberal policy changes. But their latest attempt – a new proposal called the “Great Reset” – is the most ambitious and radical plan the world has seen in more than a generation.
At a virtual meeting earlier in June hosted by the World Economic Forum, some of the planet’s most powerful business leaders, government officials and activists announced a proposal to “reset” the global economy. Instead of traditional capitalism, the high-profile group said the world should adopt more socialistic policies, such as wealth taxes, additional regulations and massive Green New Deal-like government programs.
“Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed,” wrote Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, in an article published on WEF’s website. “In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”
Schwab also said that “all aspects of our societies and economies” must be “revamped,” “from education to social contracts and working conditions.”
Joining Schwab at the WEF event was Prince Charles, one of the primary proponents of the Great Reset; Gina Gopinath, the chief economist at the International Monetary Fund; António Guterres, the secretary-general of the United Nations; and CEOs and presidents of major international corporations, such as Microsoft and BP.
Activists from groups such as Greenpeace International and a variety of academics also attended the event or have expressed their support for the Great Reset.
Although many details about the Great Reset won’t be rolled out until the World Economic Forum meets in Davos in January 2021, the general principles of the plan are clear: The world needs massive new government programs and far-reaching policies comparable to those offered by American socialists such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in their Green New Deal plan.
Or, put another way, we need a form of socialism — a word the World Economic Forum has deliberately avoided using, all while calling for countless socialist and progressive plans.
“We need to design policies to align with investment in people and the environment,” said the general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation, Sharan Burrow. “But above all, the longer-term perspective is about rebalancing economies.”
One of the main themes of the June meeting was that the coronavirus pandemic has created an important “opportunity” for many of the World Economic Forum’s members to enact their radical transformation of capitalism, which they acknowledged would likely not have been made possible without the pandemic.
“We have a golden opportunity to seize something good from this crisis — its unprecedented shockwaves may well make people more receptive to big visions of change,” said Prince Charles at the meeting, adding later, “It is an opportunity we have never had before and may never have again.”
You might be wondering how these leaders plan to convince the world to completely alter its economy over the long run, since the COVID-19 pandemic most assuredly won’t remain a crisis forever. The answer is that they’ve already identified another “crisis” that will require expansive government intervention: Climate change.
“The threat of climate change has been more gradual [than COVID-19]—but its devastating reality for many people and their livelihoods around the world, and its ever greater potential to disrupt, surpasses even that of Covid-19,” Prince Charles said.
Of course, these government officials, activists and influencers can’t impose a systemic change of this size on their own. Which is why they have already started to activate vast networks of left-wing activists from around the world, who will throughout 2021 demand changes in line with the Great Reset.
According to the World Economic Forum, its 2021 Davos summit will include thousands of members of the Global Shapers Community, youth activists located in 400 cities across the planet.
The Global Shapers program was involved in the widespread “climate strikes” of 2019, and more than 1,300 have already been trained by the Climate Reality Project, the highly influential, well-funded climate activist organization run by former Vice President Al Gore, who serves on the World Economic Forum’s Board of Trustees.
For those of us who support free markets, the Great Reset is nothing short of terrifying. Our current crony capitalist system has many flaws, to be sure, but granting more power to the government agents who created that crony system and eroding property rights is not the best way forward. America is the world’s most powerful, prosperous nation precisely because of the very market principles the Great Reset supporters loathe, not in spite of them.
Making matters worse, the left has already proven throughout the COVID-19 pandemic that it can radically transform political realities in the midst of a crisis, so it’s not hard to see how the Great Reset could eventually come to fruition.
Can you imagine George W. Bush or Bill Clinton printing trillions of dollars and mailing it to millions of people who didn’t lose their jobs? This would have been unthinkable just a couple of decades ago. Today, this policy garners bipartisan support.
Prince Charles was right: The present pandemic is a “golden opportunity” for radical change. And if Al Gore, Prince Charles and the rest of the World Economic Forum can convince enough people that attempting to stop climate change is also worth dramatically pushing humanity toward greater government control, then radical – and catastrophic – change is exactly what we’re going to get.

‘attempted to use climate change to justify liberal policy changes.’
What liberal policy changes?
Safe spaces in college policy?
It’s certainly not intentionally reduced consumption or energy use. Any fool can look at the aggregate numbers & see that. They’ve been going in the opposite direction for decades – UP.
Still, the climate policy(window dressing) bogey man has worked for over 30 years, so why stop using it now? It’s especially effective at whipping up a frenzy with conservatives.
Anyone feel free to prove me wrong. Just show me the data that demonstrates reduced consumption & energy use as a result of ‘climate policy’ in the US or elsewhere.
Good luck.
‘Great reset’? It’s very catchy.
We’re we surprised that tptb would use a crisis to divert responsibility for their criminality & to remain in power?
Tptb are not alone in this story.
Nope, all you consumer pigs have been more than willing to play kick the can these last 20 some years & many of you have been apologists for it.
If you did not see what was coming, it’s because you did not want to. Most humans are weak like that – can’t deal.
What happened to all the fracking cheerleaders around here?
USA – Energy Superpower!! USA – Energy Independent!!……not so much now eh? As predicted.
Did any of you actually think the world could continue on ever greater levels of retard debt?
Did any of you actually think that the increasing number of multi billion dollar AGW Jacked disasters could be minimized or denied forever?
If y’all are angry and/or surprised you’ve had your head up your ass & are 5 years old.

“change is exactly what we’re going to get.”
The human’s primitive limbic system (emotion) makes them fear change.
The irony in that is that the neocortex has enabled the humans to discover a great many things about how the universe works. Change being the one constant among them.
The universe is a change machine.
When the universe & everything in it stops changing it is dead.
‘Equilibrium is Death’
Energy, Entropy, Evolution and the Paradox of Life’s Complexity
Non-equilibrium makes life possible. Without gradients to be reduced nothing of interest could or would ever arise in the first place, they argue convincingly.
What makes this approach interesting is that it looks to be more relevant for biological complexity than the usually rather abstract complexity sciences, which have a mathematical basis. It is not so much “order” they are after, but “organization”, the hallmark of biological complexity. Other than complexity scientists such as Kauffman (whom Wilber sometimes presents as an ally) they argue that energy flows or gradients are paramount in creating the conditions for complex life. Not only does life thrive because of a constant flow of energy, they maintain, it arose in the first place to “reduce” or minimize the differences set up in gradients. “Nature abhors a gradient” is their maxim. So far from life going against the Second Law of Thermodynamics, it fully works in accordance with that Law. Thus, the paradox is solved in which complexity seems to increase when all of Nature tries to undo it in a state of sterile equilibrium. It turns out that a local increase in complexity is very well possible within a global trend towards entropy (or increasing disorder).”
http://www.integralworld.net/visser90.html
The universe created humans to reduce gradients, so get out there & buy a new gas sucking truck & jet off to Australia for another canned vacation or better yet shit out a couple consumer brats.
Most importantly, you need not feel any guilt over your materially obscene lifestyle (I don’t) for it is your purpose. It’s why we exist.

Truthfully, the orange man was a rubbish white nationalist. But his supporters are an inch away from heading in that direction, now that he has been cheated out of the presidency by electoral fraud. The media are so thoroughly discredited in the eyes of these people, that they no longer care what they have to say about orange man or white nationalism.

The France-based organization provides medical care to millions of people caught in crises around the world, typically in developing countries where access to quality health care is minimal. It has been instrumental in dealing with ebola outbreaks and other epidemics, responding to natural disasters and caring for victims of war and civil unrest.”

And what is this “Trumpism” of which they speak? It’s hard to say, since Trump himself was always a recklessly unpredictable populist who changed tune unpredictably to suit his own ambitions and vanities. But in the way the term is used journalistically, “Trumpism” often serves as a stand-in for all that is malignant in the world—a sort of Voldemort-like spirit nourishing itself on unicorn blood within the souls of the unenlightened. A staff critic at the Post defined it as that “unique brand of ugliness—rooted in racism, exceptionalism, recklessness, arrogance and a tendency to bully… And although white supremacy may be the better, more clinical term for what ails America, Trumpism is a useful, colloquial alternative. It encompasses an even wider category of people that includes not just avowed racists who have publicly supported the president but also those who downplay the problem, or align with it for personal gain, or are simply unwilling to acknowledge its history and persistence.”

Amid Voting Irregularity Challenges, Democrats Call For People To Move To Georgia To Stack The Vote
Profile picture for user Tyler Durden

TwitterFacebookRedditEmailPrint
Authored by Jonathan Turley,
One can have an interesting debate over the most self-defeating political statements in American politics. There was Bill Clinton’s not-so-clever answer about his affair with Monica Lewinsky as depending what “the meaning of is is.” There was John Kerry statement that he was against the Iraq war before he was against it. There was Donald Trump refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power. However, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer may have taken the crown with his yelling on the streets of New York that “Now we take Georgia, then we change the world. Now we take Georgia, then we change America.”
It is a quote that will live in infamy — and endlessly in Georgia. Now adding to the Democratic problems are liberal figures openly encouraging Democrats to move to Georgia to stack the vote in the runoff elections. So Georgia just started a hand recount in the midst of claims of voting irregularities but figures like New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman are calling for liberals to move to Georgia to influence their election. In other words, Friedman and others are sending the self-destructive message is that Jon Ossoff and Raphael G. Warnock might not have enough Georgians to vote for them so they need New Yorkers and Californians to come and vote as Georgians. The New York Times, which has run repeated pieces on alleged vote suppression by the GOP, has had nothing to say about Friedman’s call for vote stacking in Georgia.

But over the past 50 years, the time it takes for hurricanes to dissipate on the coast has almost doubled.

Yes, the Climate Crisis May Wipe out Six Billion People
‘One thing the climate crisis underscores is that Homo sapiens are not primarily a rational species. When forced to make important decisions, particularly decisions affecting our economic security or socio-political status, primitive instinct and raw emotion tend to take the upper hand.’

William Rees: Cognitive Blindspot; The Road To Extinction
“In the face of abrupt climate change, catastrophic loss of biodiversity around the globe, and rapid species decline across the board in recent decades, why are we, as a species, unable to clearly perceive the very perilous situation we find ourselves in?”

The question is moot. One might as well ask yeast in a petri dish why they won’t stop consuming the glucose & reproducing.
Yeast – ‘because our purpose it to reduce a glucose gradient & shit out more insatiable consumer yeast…..then perish.’

“Dear Snowflakes
I know you are busy shredding every hard copy and scrubbing hard drives whilst trying to con your supporters out of their money for the Crazy Uncle PAC, so I will keep this brief.
Put your toddler in his walker and slap in a pacifier if necessary, it is so over and time to step aside.
It is not the end of the world, so what if you have to wear orange jumpsuits for a while, you deserve them. It is not a conspiracy, not even bloody close, your days of sowing chaos and death in the US have come to an end.
I thought the “elite” were meant to be dignified, I’ll check if auntie Ayn has anything to say about that otherwise I’ll be forced to consult my “A Guide to how to deal with trash 101” by Robespierre.
So lets not cause more of a scene than is absolutely required
Grow the Fuck Up and pack your bags.”

Climate change blamed for fall’s super floods in South Florida
“Tropical Storm Eta’s record-breaking deluge may be part of a pattern of more intense rains and higher tides that have turned late fall in South Florida into a season of super floods.
A new study from climate researchers at the University of Miami adds to the evidence that humans —and their greenhouse gas emissions — are largely to blame.
The study looked at the relationship between sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean and rainfall in South Florida. It argues that greenhouse gas emissions from humans are the likely source of the hotter sea water and the more intense rains.
“The water is warmer, and so the air above it is warmer. Warm air can hold more water. So that means there is more water available to rain when a storm comes through,” said Jeremy Klavans, one of the study’s co-authors and a doctoral candidate at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences.”

Clearly the Canadian cancer chimps are at or near the top for per capita emissions & thus consuming.
Canada’s greenhouse gas problem is worse than they thought, federal scientists say
“OTTAWA–Canada’s methane emissions from the oil and gas sector in Alberta and Saskatchewan are almost twice as high as had been previously reported, according to a new study by federal government scientists.
The study, published online Tuesday in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, says the scientists measured methane in the atmosphere at four spots in the Western provinces from 2010 to 2017.
Using this data alongside models that determine how the air is moving, they estimate the provinces’ oil and gas operations emitted an average of three megatonnes of methane each year. That’s almost double the sector’s annual average of 1.6 megatonnes as reported by the government’s yearly tally of national greenhouse gas emissions, the study says.”

Rivers of air in the sky are melting huge patches of Antarctic sea ice
“Rivers of warm air transported across the atmosphere have been found to play a major role in the creation of vast openings in Antarctic sea ice.
Storms are known to help trigger the openings, known as polynyas, which in the past have expanded to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of square kilometres. But despite the world’s most powerful storms being a regular fixture in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica, they don’t on their own explain why the polynyas form at some times and not at others.
Now, Diana Francis at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and her colleagues think they have the answer. Combing satellite records and climate data, they looked at major polynya events in the Weddell Sea on the Antarctic coast in 1973 and 2017.
They found that flows of heat and water vapour in the sky, known as atmospheric rivers, travelled huge distances, in one case moving from the south-eastern coast of South America down to the Weddell Sea in 2017. During September that year, one river increased air temperatures in the Weddell Sea by 10°C.”
