******************<\/p>\n

25 Oct 2022 – Important to understand is that there is not one single new or original idea in Klaus Schwab\u2019s so-called Great Reset agenda for the world. Nor is his Fourth Industrial Revolution agenda his or his claim to having invented the notion of Stakeholder Capitalism a product of Schwab. <\/em><\/p>\n

Klaus Schwab is little more than a slick PR agent for a global technocratic agenda,<\/strong> a corporatist unity of corporate power with government, including the UN, an agenda whose origins go back to the beginning of the 1970s, and even earlier. \u00a0The Davos Great reset is merely an updated blueprint for a global dystopian dictatorship under UN control that has been decades in development. The key actors were David Rockefeller and his prot\u00e9g\u00e9, Maurice Strong.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the beginning of the 1970s, there was arguably no one person more influential in world politics than the late David Rockefeller,<\/strong> then largely known as chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank.<\/p>\n

Creating the new paradigm<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the end of the 1960s and into the early 1970s, the international circles directly tied to David Rockefeller launched a dazzling array of elite organizations and think tanks. These included The Club of Rome; the 1001: A Nature Trust, tied to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF); the Stockholm United Nations Earth Day conference; the MIT-authored study, Limits to Growth; and David Rockefeller\u2019s Trilateral Commission.<\/p>\n

Club of Rome<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 1968 David Rockefeller founded a neo-Malthusian think tank, The Club of Rome, along with Aurelio Peccei and Alexander King. Aurelio Peccei, was a senior manager of the Fiat car company, owned by the powerful Italian Agnelli family. Fiat\u2019s Gianni Agnelli was an intimate friend of David Rockefeller and a member of the International Advisory Committee of Rockefeller\u2019s Chase Manhattan Bank. Agnelli and David Rockefeller had been close friends since 1957. Agnelli became a founding member of David Rockefeller\u2019s Trilateral Commission in 1973. Alexander King, head of the OECD Science Program was also a consultant to NATO. \u00a0[i]<\/sup> That was the beginning of what would become the neo-Malthusian \u201cpeople pollute\u201d movement.<\/p>\n

In 1971 the Club of Rome published a deeply-flawed report, Limits to Growth,<\/strong> which predicted an end to civilization as we knew it because of rapid population growth, combined with fixed resources such as oil. The report concluded that without substantial changes in resource consumption, \u201cthe most probable result will be a rather sudden and uncontrollable decline in both population and industrial capacity.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

It was based on bogus computer simulations by a group of MIT computer scientists. It stated the bold prediction, \u201cIf the present growth trends in world population, industrialization, pollution, food production, and resource depletion continue unchanged, the limits to growth on this planet will be reached sometime within the next one hundred years.\u201d That was 1971. In 1973 Klaus Schwab in his third annual Davos business leader meeting invited Peccei to Davos to present Limits to Growth<\/strong> to assembled corporate CEOs. [ii]<\/p>\n

In 1974, the Club of Rome declared boldly, \u201cThe Earth has cancer and the cancer is Man.\u201d Then: \u201cthe world is facing an unprecedented set of interlocking global problems, such as, over-population, food shortages, non-renewable resource [oil-w.e.] depletion, environmental degradation and poor governance.\u201d [iii]<\/sup> They argued that,<\/p>\n

\u2018horizontal\u2019 restructuring of the world system is needed\u2026drastic changes in the norm stratum \u2013 that is, in the value system and the goals of man \u2013 are necessary in order to solve energy, food, and other crises, i.e., social changes and changes in individual attitudes are needed if the transition to organic growth is to take place. [iv]<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In their 1974 report, Mankind at the Turning Point<\/em>, The Club of Rome further argued:<\/p>\n

Increasing interdependence between nations and regions must then translate as a decrease in independence. Nations cannot be interdependent without each of them giving up some of, or at least acknowledging limits to, its own independence. Now is the time to draw up a master plan for organic sustainable growth and world development based on global allocation of all finite resources and a new global economic system. [v]<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That was the early formulation of the UN Agenda 21, Agenda2030 and the 2020 Davos Great Reset.<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Rockefeller and Maurice Strong<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By far the most influential organizer of Rockefeller\u2019s \u2018zero growth\u2019 agenda in the early 1970s was David Rockefeller\u2019s longtime friend, a billionaire oilman named Maurice Strong.<\/p>\n

Canadian Maurice Strong was one of the key early propagators of the scientifically flawed theory that man-made CO2 emissions from transportation vehicles, coal plants and agriculture caused a dramatic and accelerating global temperature rise which threatens \u201cthe planet\u201d, so-called Global Warming.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As chairman of the 1972 Earth Day UN Stockholm Conference, Strong promoted an agenda of population reduction and lowering of living standards around the world to \u201csave the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strong stated his radical ecologist agenda:<\/p>\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn\u2019t it our responsibility to bring that about?\u201d [vi]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is what is now taking place under cover of a hyped global pandemic.<\/p>\n

Strong was a curious choice to head a major UN initiative to mobilize action on the environment, as his career and his considerable fortune had been built on exploitation of oil, like an unusual number of the new advocates of \u2018ecological purity,\u2019 such as David Rockefeller or Robert O. Anderson of Aspen Institute or Shell\u2019s John Loudon.<\/p>\n

Strong had met David Rockefeller in 1947 as a young Canadian \u00a0eighteen and from that point, his career became tied to the network of the Rockefeller family.[vii] \u00a0Through his new friendship with David Rockefeller, Strong, at age 18, was given a key UN position under UN Treasurer, Noah Monod. The UN\u2019s funds were conveniently enough handled by Rockefeller\u2019s Chase Bank. This was typical of the model of \u201cpublic-private partnership\u201d to be deployed by Strong\u2014private gain from public government. [viii]<\/p>\n

In the 1960s Strong had become president of the huge Montreal energy conglomerate and oil company known as Power Corporation, then owned by the influential Paul Desmarais.<\/strong> Power Corporation was reportedly also used as a political slush fund to finance campaigns of select Canadian politicians such as Pierre Trudeau, father of Davos prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Justin Trudeau, according to Canadian investigative researcher, Elaine Dewar. [ix]<\/p>\n

Earth Summit I and Rio Earth Summit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By 1971 Strong was named Undersecretary of the United Nations in New York and Secretary General of the upcoming Earth Day conference, United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Earth Summit I) in Stockholm, Sweden. \u00a0He was also named that year as a trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation \u2013 which financed his launch of the Stockholm Earth Day project.[x] In Stockholm the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) was created with Strong as its head.<\/p>\n

By 1989 Strong was named by the UN Secretary General to head the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development or UNCED (\u201cRio Earth Summit II\u201d<\/strong>). He oversaw the drafting of the UN \u201cSustainable Environment\u201d goals there, the Agenda 21 for Sustainable Development \u00a0that forms the basis of Klaus Schwab\u2019s\u00a0 Great Reset, as well as creation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the UN. Strong, who was also a board member of Davos WEF, had arranged for Schwab to serve as a key adviser to the Rio Earth Summit.<\/p>\n

As Secretary General of the UN Rio Conference, Strong also commissioned a report from\u00a0 the Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution, authored by Alexander King which admitted that the CO2 global warming claim was merely an invented ruse to force change:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe common enemy of humanity is man.\u2028In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up\u2028with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming,\u2028water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these\u2028dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through\u2028changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome.\u2028The real enemy then, is humanity itself.\u201d [xi]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

President Clinton\u2019s delegate to Rio, Tim Wirth, admitted the same, stating,<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.\u201d [xii]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At Rio Strong first introduced the manipulative idea of \u201csustainable society\u201d defined in relation this arbitrary goal of eliminating CO2 and other so-called Greenhouse Gases. Agenda 21 became Agenda 2030 in Sept 2015 in Rome, with the Pope\u2019s blessing, with 17 \u201csustainable\u201d goals. It declared among other items,<\/p>\n

\u201cLand, because of its unique nature and the crucial role it plays in human settlement, cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership also is a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice\u2026Social justice, urban renewal, and development, the provision of decent dwellings and healthy conditions for the people can only \u2018be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In short private land ownership must become socialized for \u201csociety as a whole,\u201d an idea well-known in Soviet Union days, and a key part of the Davos Great Reset.<\/p>\n

At Rio in 1992 where he was chairman and General Secretary, Strong declared:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class\u2014 involving high meat intake<\/strong>, consumption of large amounts frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels<\/strong>, appliances, home and work place air-conditioning<\/strong>, and suburban housing<\/strong> \u2014 are not sustainable.\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0[xiii] (emphasis added)<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By that time Strong was at the very center of the transformation of the UN into the vehicle for imposing a new global technocratic \u201cparadigm\u201d by stealth, using dire warnings of planet extinction and global warming, merging government agencies with corporate power in an unelected control of pretty much everything, under the cover of \u201csustainability.\u201d In 1997 Strong oversaw \u00a0creation of the action plan following the Earth Summit, \u00a0The Global Diversity Assessment, a blueprint for the roll out of a Fourth Industrial Revolution, an inventory of every resource on the planet, how it would be controlled , and how this revolution would be achieved.[xiv]<\/p>\n

At this time Strong was co-chairman of Klaus Schwab\u2019s Davos World Economic Forum. In 2015 on Strong\u2019s death, Davos founder Klaus Schwab wrote,<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was my mentor since the creation of the Forum: a great friend; an indispensable advisor; and, for many years, a member of our Foundation Board.\u201d [xv]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before he was left UN over an Iraq Food-for-Oil corruption scandal, Strong was member of the Club of Rome, Trustee of the Aspen Institute, Trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation and Rothschild Foundation. \u00a0Strong was also a director of the Temple of Understanding of the Lucifer Trust (aka Lucis Trust) housed at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City,<\/p>\n

\u201cwhere pagan rituals include escorting sheep and cattle to the alter for blessing. Here, Vice President Al Gore delivered a sermon, as worshippers marched to the altar with bowls of compost and worms\u2026\u201d [xvi]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the dark origin of Schwab\u2019s Great Reset agenda where we should eat worms and have no private property in order to \u201csave the planet.\u201d The agenda is dark, dystopian and meant to eliminate\u00a0 billions of us \u201cordinary humans.\u201d<\/p>\n
