Although it contains some very decent facts about the past, some interesting insight, the suggestions offered in this book are not to my liking.
Well written and edited, but I disagree with many of the ideas.

This essay is a warning and a wake up call, and all who love freedom and all who still use reason and can think for themselves must read this.

Granted, it is difficult to ingest, but not for the reason you may think. I would place it at a 7th grade reading level. Even the economic jargon is juvenile. It is difficult because if you have red blood running through your veins, it should boil. This is the future, and we may not have much recourse.

Here is my overview:

A small international elite group of wealthy globalists are preparing a utopian one world oligarch at the expense of human lives and livelihoods, and they do not want or need our input. They will be our new overlords, and we will comply or be cancelled. At present, they have control of all the international institutions that influence the nations' healthcare, banks, trade, money, economies, and governments, and they have the blueprint to unite one government over all the people. All they need now is complete compliance of all governments and corporations, as well as the technology to begin total surveillance of every human being.

The authors of this essay tell readers that Covid will hardly leave a dent, but it was and is the catalyst they wanted or needed to begin the Great Reset. In other words, Covid, or coronavirus, HAS NOT disrupted society as claimed by the media. The Great Reset has been in the works for years, and yet they wrote this essay as if they had a year or more to observe the destruction of the scamdemic and investigate its real outcomes; but one can see right through that.
The real driving force behind the GR was to be and still is the environment, or climate change, and they have convinced many governments and corporations that it is the most dire issue, though there are other issues: social issues, worker protection plans, and control of human consumption.

For example, if businesses, companies, industries, or corporations are not WOKE enough or cannot demonstrate that they are compliant with the sustainable development goals that the global cabal sets, then those businesses will struggle and eventually be ostracized and fail. The global government will also scrutinize individual personal behaviors. If you don't change your bad habits, you, too, can and will struggle and be cancelled from society.

They want to micromanage your life and your health; limit what goods you may purchase and foods you may eat; determine where you live and prevent you from traveling far from home. You probably won't own a car or a house, as that will be reserved for the elite. And with technology, they want to observe everything you do and where you go, as well as track how you feel, what you think, and how you react to social issues or behave in society.

That's mental illness right there.

The global elite want to institute their own religious utopia. They hate God, the Creator, but they want to be God and god-like, and it is why they desire to read your heart and mind and to legislate morality, which they label: fairness, kindness, and equity. Forget any future dreams for you or your children because personal interests are self-centered, and may not be in the best interest of the whole; they want all to consider a "common good" approach to life.

They may give the impression that they care about people, especially the downtrodden, but do not be fooled. They don't genuinely give a crap about George Floyd or society's so-called victims. It's all a facade. If anything, these are the most racist, prejudiced, heartless, godless individuals pushing the GR.

One thing about tyrannical commie/socialists/fascists (they are all these things) is that they really suck when it comes to economics. At some point, they will run out of resources and other people's money after utterly destroying billions of lives and mismanaging the world. No one will be able to work except in a few preserved sectors like technology, healthcare, and synthetic food development. Everything will fail because man cannot micromanage billions of people (although controlling population is also part of the scheme) and their local communities and economies. Yet the establishment is so far removed from reality because they live in a fantasy elite world apart from reason and common sense.

There is a timeline for a full completion of the GR: 2030, though sooner, they desire, which is why they want the COVID FEAR & COMPLIANCE EXERCISE to LINGER for YEARS. Never let a good crisis go to waste!

The Great Reset is a wicked, evil, selfish, self-centered, vile idea, and I hope God has immediate plans for those involved because it is going to be almost impossible for us to stop them. The world's corrupt governments and corporations and industries are so entangled with these global institutions. They are literally handing over the reins to these godless elite.

P.S. If you don't know Christ, He is not a tyrannical overload, such as these men and women desire to be -- implementing their wicked science and technology on the people. God put Freedom on our hearts, which is why America was founded on liberty. The GR is the opposite of who God is, and it is why they desire to dissolve personal liberty and freedom forever. God gives us total freedom to be personally responsible with our own lives; we don't need man to legislate morality. ( )

I'm an advocate for primary sources when ascertaining ideologies or personalities; human nature will tend to either lionize someone or demonize with very little room left for anything in between.

Covid-19: The Great Reset is largely a descriptive, not necessarily prescriptive, look at possible trends in light of the effects of the pandemic.

A variety of fields is looked at, including, but not excluded to:

IoT (The Internet of Things)
AI / Algorithms
Climate Change

Important macro narratives dealt with include the relationship between security and privacy; the increasing role of activists, the role of cooperation - largely at regional and global levels and a tend to focus on modification of behavior - whether of the consumer or the citizen.

Mr. Schwab and Mr. Malleret tend to hold their proverbial cards close to their vest, but in the few lines in which the guard is let down it becomes quite clear that Mr. Schwab has a disdain for the patriot and for the nation-state as a governing concept. Mr. Schwab is firmly in the global governance camp which gives authority to the technocratic, and unelected, class.

If one is in this Elite Club then I suppose this is how they would prefer it, but it certainly does not bode well for the vast majority of humanity. It is a desire for a neo-Feudal State with a small Oligarchy of unelected Ruling Class Elite in which the Nation-State, Representative Government, and the rise of the Middle Class being nothing but an unfortunate blip in history.
