The World Economic Forum (an unelected NGO) has been around for 50 years. Now, with the incompetence of the political class world-wide, it is flexing its muscles quite openly via online texts, videos and speeches by its 82 year old founder, Klaus Schwab. The WEF means to rule the world, with the help of a few countries and a few people. America and Western values with be hard pressed. Free markets and individual choice will be out; state intervention and collectivism will be in. There will be no individual liberties or private property by 2030. People will have to rent and borrow necessities from the state, which will be the sole proprietor of all goods.

Every personal move will be tracked electronically. Food will be mainly vegetarian. The government will provide basic accommodation, food and transport,and the rest will be on loan.

Natural resources use will be reduced to a minimum. A global agency will set the price of CO2 emissions at a high level.

If the WEF is allowed to get away with it - and there are seemingly well-meaning people who think they should - the 8 main objectives will be:

People will own nothing. Goods are either free or must be lent by the state.
The US will no longer be the leading power: a handful of countries will dominate.
Organs will be printed, not transplanted.
Meat consumption will be minimised.
Massive displacement of people will occur with billions of refugees.
To limit CO2 emissions, a global price will be set at a very high level.
People will be able to choose to go to Mars for a new life.
Western values will be tested to breaking point.

And there will be a universal basic income, a cashless society, with all transactions registered so that the government can monitor how we spend.

When Prince Charles rabbits on about a "unique opportunity" for change thanks to climate change and the China virus, this is what he means. But not for himself, of course.

What a life: having no possessions, every movement monitored, eating only what is supplied by the authorities, electronic chips embedded to prevent escape, being milked twice a day, then slaughtered for my meat once my milk runs out.

Wake up mate, rub your eyes, wash your face, it is morning, this was only a nightmare, the WEF holds no power in our waking state, but then... if you do this to others, no wonder it comes back to you in your dreams.

Moooooooo.

It's no dream. It's all been said. There's more to come at Lausanne next year. It would have come out of Davos this year had it not been for the China virus.

As for WEF having no power, it is the the hugely wealthy technocrats and big business attendees who pay up to $100k to attend and hear Herr Shcwarb who have the power. Politicians can attend free of charge because it is they who are powerless. It will be interesting to see see if the headless chooks in Canberra send anyone. They are already prepared to let big business make decisions for them - as with Qantas and compulsory China virus vaccination. They might be happy to hand over responsibility to a global Big Brother if the bribes are good enough.

ttbn,
If, as you say, "it is the the hugely wealthy technocrats and big business attendees who pay up to $100k to attend and hear Herr Shcwarb who have the power" then why do you imagine they'll give up property rights? Even if they had the political power to (which they don't) surely they wouldn't have the political inclination to do so?

As for the rest of your list:
>The US will no longer be the leading power: a handful of countries will dominate.
That's nothing to do with the WEF: it's just the result of political and economic incompetence in the USA throughout the 21st century.

>Organs will be printed, not transplanted.
That's a foreseeable technological improvement, but they'd still need transplanting after printing.

>Meat consumption will be minimised.
As fake meat gets better and cheaper, this too is likely.

>Massive displacement of people will occur with billions of refugees.
Would that be the result of war? Despots? Or climate change?

>To limit CO2 emissions, a global price will be set at a very high level.
The more we do sooner, the less need there is for the huge rapid cuts which would require a very high CO2 price.

>People will be able to choose to go to Mars for a new life.
Eventually I expect they will, but it's probably centuries away.

>Western values will be tested to breaking point.
Many people say they already are. But there's really no agreement on what "western values" are, let alone what their breaking point would be.

Oh well, it seems that they now understand that wind, solar and
batteries won't supply the demand so this is how they reduce demand.

Simple isn't it ?
The odd thing is I think they are serious !

Researchers cite lithium and cobalt production as the most likely to fall short of expected demand levels in the next few years, if EV take-up grows as desired or mandated by many political leaders. In short, new discoveries of supplies will be required if present battery technology is to be maintained. Failing that, ‘net zero’ may need a plan B.

In a new report, Chengjian Xu, Bernhard Steubing and a research team at the Leiden University, Netherlands and the Argonne National Laboratory in the U.S. showed how the demands of a lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese oxide dominated battery will increase by many factors between 2020 to 2050.

As a result, supply chains for lithium, cobalt and nickel will require significant expansion and likely additional resource discovery.

Of course governments may make access to petroleum based fuels difficult at the same time. If these elites succeed in removing personal transport from the masses, as Louie the fly from the animated Mortein pest spray add says, the party may be over.

Bazz,

Maybe. But I think it is more about the greed of a few already wealthy people and raw power. Have you ever watched one of Schwab's pep talks? Pure evil. Dr. No without the white cat.

Of course, if Senator Jim Molan is right - that war between the US and China is "more likely than people are prepared to estimate" - then the Great Reset might fall by the wayside. No matter what, people will remain in denial right up to the deathknock.

ttbn,

I'm convinced that Australia will be amongst the first to fall to Chinese aggression.

I doubt that China or anyone viz Russia will attack the US (unless they have sh!t for brains). Simply because the US will retaliate by unleashing its nuclear arsenal against China and Russia.

The answer: Just invade Australia where there is no chance of a nuclear retaliation. Because the US won't unleash its nuclear arsenal just to save Australia. The Americans would have to have sh!t for brains to do that.

Australia will just be listed as collateral damage in the struggle for supremacy between the US and China.

So, yes I definitely think Australia will fall to China and I think it will happen in the not too distant future. I think the timing will coincide with a massive build up of Chinese air and naval forces in the South China Sea. I said this five years ago and everyone on the The Forum told me I was stupid because China had no ambitions in the South China Sea.

Mr. Opinion,

While Australians continue to be in denial, with their 'it just couldn't happens' and believing in what the Ad Man and the MSM say, anything could happen happen to Australia, where 80% of the population is living in la la land.

ttbn,

You have to keep in mind that there are those of The Forum's pro-China camp who will pull out the race card to discredit any anti-Chinese opinion. I think they are Chinese plants and collaborators. We all know who they are.

Mr 0,

> was stupid because China had no ambitions in the South China Sea.

Can you provide a reference for that? It sounds extremely dubious to me; five years ago it was fairly well known that China had ambitions in the South China Sea.

Mr. Opinion,

I'm not sure that China would have much use for OLO's low intelligence name callers, except to show the idiots what real racism China-style is like.

ttbn,

People need to keep in mind that the Korean War has never been concluded and that China in 1950 was at war with the World (UN Forces) in order to establish a totalitarian regime on the Korean Peninsula.

So who in their right mind trusts the Chinese? Definitely not me!

[Aidan, you didn't think so. Can you reference that you did? No, of course you can't.]

Mr 0,
I never claimed I did. I may not have seen it, let alone deemed it worth responding to. Or indeed it may not have been there at all.

Dear Mr. Opinion,

«I'm convinced that Australia will be amongst the first to fall to Chinese aggression.»

Of course you are, being so much invested in being able to tell us all, "I TOLD YOU SO" that otherwise you will have to eat your hat!

And this positions you squarely in the pro-China camp.

Economic aggression is already happening, it is likely to escalate further and it could even, at worst, turn into a naval blockade, cutting off Australia's oil supplies. Shortages and rationing can be expected, also cyber attacks, but a physical military attack against Australia remains a fantasy. We are not alone, we have great friends, including nuclear ones, so the consequences for the Chinese would be far too painful.

Happy vaccine year!

Aidan,

But Mr Opinion saw it coming and was the first on The Forum to say that China was annexing the South China Sea.

And now Mr Opinion is saying that the South China Sea will be the launching pad for China's attack on Australia.

The Chinese see Australia as part of Asia and they see Asia as belonging to the new Chinese Empire under Xi and his successors.

Why do you think China has been so eager to transmigrate its people to Australia? Answer: To make Australia look Chinese to the Chinese nation-state.

Look at Sydney, which has become a Chinese city.

Yuyutsu,

You come across as an apologist for the Chinese.

Mr. Opinion,

The current president of South Korea has been talking about reuniting with the North since he got the job.

ttbn,

And the Chinese puppet Kim dynasty has been trying to reunite South Korea with North Korea since 1950.

Sounds like a win-win situation.
