Examples

“Klaus Schwab, WEF’s founder and executive chairman, invoked the need to help provoke a “great reset” around the world in the wake of the pandemic. “The covid-19 crisis has shown us that our old systems are not fit anymore for the 21st century,” he said in a podcast ahead of events this week.”

““Anyone who doesn’t realise that the great reset is the biggest threat to our form of life right now hasn’t been paying attention,” he said.”

“The Great Reset is going to be the segue from the pandemic. Now that they’ve got everybody obedient in terms of not leaving the house and doing what they have to do, and we’ve seen actions from the police in Victoria which are unthinkable in this country, there’s a segue from there into making sure that we control our emissions, that we do what we’re told to do with regard to what they call the Green New Deal.”
