Subject: Article: We Are Facing The Greatest Assault On Our Civil Liberties In Our Lifetimes

Dear Mr. Baldwin,

I read your column "We Are Facing The Greatest Assault On Our Civil Liberties In Our Lifetimes" where you quote Dr. Ron Paul's article "Empire is the Root of the US-China Hostilities."

Please read my article,
Liberty, Taxes and Hypocrisy, on China's "new imperialism," which is far worse than the US hegemony of the past several decades. I would even say the the US has had a beneficent effect on the world as a whole.

China's "imperialism" will be far more war-prone than the US ever was (for example, China is helping build naval bases in Somalia, giving it access to the Horn of Africa and the Indian Ocean), and it induces devastating economic effects around the globe, and especially in Africa. There will be no "free market" under China's rule.

I have explained this at my website Reclaiming Beauty, in my article Liberty, Taxes and Hypocrisy.

Sincerely,

Kidist Paulos Asrat

The Great Reset



The Great Reset
June 25, 2020
The Thinking Housewife


THE WEBSITE of the World Economic Forum (WEF) is truly a motherlode of information about the vast social and economic changes that are now being “operationalized.”

If you want powerful evidence that this winter’s outbreak of a strong seasonal flu, billed as a catastrophic, world-changing pandemic, was a pretext for implementing a whole new level of global governance — a system planned well in advance — go to the website’s “Covid Action Platform.” I guarantee you, spending a bit of time here will enlighten you. But please bear in mind that the Covid Action Platform was already in place in January. This powerful coalition of private and public leaders based in Davos, Switzerland has obviously been working on this plan for years.

“What they had to do is bring the whole world to a standstill so they could inject the global governance,” says Celeste Solum, who has studied the WEF plan. “It will be titrated out a little bit … but we are on the fast track of global governance right now.” The purpose of the plan is “to galvanize the business community” to follow the plan.

Once you get to the website, you’ll find in the center of the Covid Action Platform page a large corona graphic, a sun emitting rays of subtopics from the main topic in the center. Click on any subtopic and you will be taken to another corona sun, with a new set of rays. Click on any one of the subtopics here and you will be taken to another corona sun, with a new set of rays. Click on any subtopic and you will get to another corona sun …. and on and on. There are hundreds of layers to each main topic, so well conceived is the system that is now being implemented. (In order to see the entire plan, you have to create an account.)

You will learn exactly what the “Great Reset” and the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” are. You will learn about a future with drones, genetic engineering, socialized healthcare, digital identities, behavioral modification with positive reinforcement, travel restrictions, vaccines, open borders, curtailed driving, greater surveillance, remote commerce, dramatically changed workplaces and a climate action revolution. You’ll learn about the “Internet of Things” and the “Circular Economy.” You will see “Pope” Francis’s name repeatedly and you will come across buzzwords from U.N. Agenda 21, especially the ominous term, “sustainable development” — that’s sustainable for nature not human beings. You will be told that the elimination of national sovereignty is absolutely necessary.
Global governance is a means to manage issues that cut across national borders – whether it is a pandemic, financial crisis, or geo-economic dispute. Though traditionally centred on diplomacy and international organizations, a wide variety of public and private actors now engage in cross-border governance – and the work itself has expanded beyond treaty-making to include formal and informal monitoring, enforcement, and financing. Effective governance is essential to secure peaceful, healthy, and prosperous societies, particularly now amid the COVID-19 outbreak and widespread nationalist backlash against globalization. [emphasis added]
It’s not that the world planners at the World Economic Forum don’t sympathize with those who find that government control of so many aspects of life chilling. It writes on an “anti-globalism” tab:
Nationalist backlash has made effective global governance more difficult, and more necessary

The widespread resurgence of nationalist and populist politics has raised serious questions about the future viability of global governance. This troubling trend is at least in part a result of backlash against globalization – against both the economic and social dislocations it has created, and those for which it is unfairly blamed. Populist movements generally express scepticism of perceived elites, and profess to having faith in the wisdom of ordinary people. Yet, paradoxically, they also tend to have an authoritarian bent and a belief in a strong leader able to mobilize the masses. Timely examples of successful populist movements include US President Donald Trump’s election campaign, and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s consolidation of political authority in Turkey. Such movements typically appeal to those people who are particularly worried about threats to their social status due to the actual or feared loss of a job, or to those troubled by immigration and changing cultural mores; in other words, people who feel especially vulnerable to exactly the kinds of changes unleashed by globalization. [emphasis added]
If you are concerned about the obliteration of your nation, it’s because you are worried about your social status. Not that those who reengineer daily life have concerns about social status.

Religion does not have a particularly bright future but it can be useful, according to the WEF. To the extent that religious institutions further the goals of global government to bring about “equality” and “education,” that’s okay.
There is a growing awareness that religion is a factor to be reckoned with when it comes to tackling environmental challenges, peacebuilding, improving education, and supporting economic growth. But there is still a general lack of knowledge about the practical contributions of religious actors to international development work. This applies to the impact of beliefs and behaviour on development, and to the particular ways in which religion factors into key development sectors. Education-related goals are at the centre of the global development agenda, and tend to deal glancingly with religious dimensions – if at all. Yet, religious institutions play significant roles in national and international education systems and approaches; religiously-affiliated schools fill critical gaps in rural areas and in countries with underdeveloped infrastructure. Christian schools in particular have also been associated with colonization, however, and have often contributed to the marginalizing of Islamic and other minority communities in a way that creates parallel and unequal systems. Islamic schools have meanwhile played an enormous role in providing education globally, but have also become a political flashpoint because they are (often unfairly) perceived both as standing in the way of social progress in terms of gender equality, and as radicalizing influences.
This is an entirely godless universe. The purpose of human life is nothing more than human life. We are living through the “Great Reset.”
The world is at a historic crossroads, as economies everywhere attempt to pull themselves out of a COVID-19-induced hiatus. The damage inflicted has been horrific in terms of lives taken and livelihoods lost.

However, it also presents an opportunity to rebuild in a more inclusive and responsible way. Coronavirus-related lockdowns provided a glimpse of what is possible in terms of limiting pollution, and the pandemic’s human toll illustrated what can happen when healthcare systems and social safety nets are neglected.

Now, it is up to leaders in the private and public sectors to seize the moment and help create a more equitable and sustainable society.
It’s not that everything in this plan for global governance is inherently wicked, mind you. But the positive changes necessarily entail a radical loss of individual freedom, the growth of a vast industry of behavioral manipulation, and an unprecedented concentration of power at the top. And beneath the bromides about technological efficiency and reduced poverty are truly demonic transformations.
