This Is No Path to Happiness

Sometimes I think Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and co-author of the book COVID-19: The Great Reset, is a warm-hearted philanthropist with a dark sense of humor.

Recently I read a puerile and degrading article in Forbes, titled “Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better,” written by one of the WEF’s brilliant “Young Global Leaders” and published on November 10, 2016

The article describes much of what the WEF has been touting for the past two years, what they call the Great Reset. Some of the scenarios described have already been implemented, or are in the process of being implemented, since Dr. Fauci’s “deadly pandemic” flattened the earth in two weeks.

Of course only a dim-witted conspiracy theorist sitting in a dank basement would think that the pandemic was a pretext, a conditioning exercise, to intentionally destroy free society and create a digital-technocratic-totalitarian dystopia wherein people’s businesses and jobs have been destroyed, wiping away much of their asset ownership, with vaccine mandates used as a stealth weapon to make bodily autonomy and medical privacy archaic. 

Funny how all those things are summed up euphemistically in the article’s title (albeit the last part about life being better than ever; unless, of course, you’re a billionaire like many members of the WEF).

The Forbes article, like everything the WEF spews, literally smacks of someone talking down to a child–which is exactly what it is intended to do–appeal to a stupefied population socially engineered to be infantile in its thinking and reasoning abilities.

Here are some highlights of the article, with my translations.

First, the title:

“Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better.”

Does this require any explanation about how insane and dehumanizing their plans are for their so-called Great Reset? “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy.” This is the bizarre unabashed slogan of the WEF, and anyone with two brain cells will notice how the past two years have set us up for exactly what they describe (without the happy part), using the pretext of a pandemic to mask an already collapsed economy, causing skyrocketing inflation to collapse the dollar, and then conditioning people to accept no privacy (or bodily autonomy), all while being digitally tracked everywhere they go via a central bank digital currency (CBDC) that Biden is already talking about. Yes, after the economy is completely destroyed, you will be wiped out, buried in debt, you will own nothing, have no privacy, and your life will be better than ever!

“Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city–or should I say, ‘our city.’ I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes.”

If you still own anything at this point, even the clothes on your back, just wait. After you’re hit with the coming economic tsunami that we generated, BlackRock will finally own whatever’s left. 

“Sometimes I use my bike when I go to see some of my friends. I enjoy the exercise and the ride. It kind of gets the soul to come along on the journey.”

Yes, indeed. If you’re fortunate enough to own a bike it will be your only mode of transportation. Now you will be forced to get off your lazy obese butts. If you still have a soul left, congratulations. 

“Everything you considered a product, has now become a service.”

This is something else the WEF loves to talk about. Basically, and they say this elsewhere, you won’t own the clothes on your back but instead will rent them, along with every other product that will be provided as a “service.” And guess who will provide all these wonderful services? Not your local mom and pop shops, which have already been mostly wiped out, but our wonderful warm-hearted WEF overlords like Bezos and Gates.

“It made no sense for us to own cars anymore, because we could call a driverless vehicle. . .”

This is what the insane and artificially high gas prices are about (possibly heading up to $10 or more a gallon by the time they are finished jacking them up) along with the manufactured fear of climate change. Make cars a thing of the past not because the intellectuals at the WEF give a damn about the environment they have been destroying for decades. This is getting rid of cars under the guise of environmental concern when their real concern is financial gain from the enormous worldwide fleet of driverless cars and Uber-type services they will own and you will rent. (See “Everything you considered a product, has now become a service” above.)

“In our city we don’t pay any rent, because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there.”

This is typically WEF-weird. When we’re allowed to leave our modular containers, someone will be using them for important business meetings? Is this a take on the BnB rental model, except you don’t even get paid? At least they are going to allow us a “free space.” Lovely. And who are these “businessmen” who will be using our living rooms? Inspectors or vaccine administrators in suits? They really mean it when they say “you will have no privacy.”

“When products are turned into services, no one has an interest in things with a short life span. Everything is designed for durability, repairability and recyclability.”

Everything will be rented to you and designed to have the shortest lifespan possible (engineered obsolescence), deliberately limiting the life of a product in order to encourage the purchaser to replace it. Also called built-in obsolescence. But hey, they will kindly handle all your repairs and recycling also, for a fee of course.

“Shopping? I can’t really remember what that is. For most of us, it has been turned into choosing things to use. Sometimes I find this fun, and sometimes I just want the algorithm to do it for me. It knows my taste better than I do by now.”

Love it! No longer will you have to shop until you drop. You can rely exclusively on Amazon, just as we’ve conditioned you to do in our two-year pandemic exercise. And who needs a brain or privacy when you can rely on an algorithm that knows more about you than you do? Now you don’t even have to bother with the excruciating mental exercise of thinking about what to buy. What will these tech geniuses think of next? Priceless.

“When AI and robots took over so much of our work, we suddenly had time to eat well, sleep well and spend time with other people.”

Being completely obsolete, you will have all the time in the world to contemplate your misery. Even with your family and friends.

“For a while, everything was turned into entertainment and people did not want to bother themselves with difficult issues. It was only at the last minute that we found out how to use all these new technologies for better purposes than just killing time.”

We’ve provided you deplorables with bread and circuses and still you’re ungrateful, unmanageable and generally a major pain in the ass. But we’ve found out how to use new technologies–such as subscription vaccines–combined with never-ending manufactured crises for the purpose of controlling you.

“My biggest concern is all the people who do not live in our city. Those we lost on the way. Those who decided that it became too much, all this technology. Those who felt obsolete and useless when robots and AI took over big parts of our jobs. Those who got upset with the political system and turned against it. They live different kind of lives outside of the city. Some have formed little self-supplying communities. Others just stayed in the empty and abandoned houses in small 19th century villages.”

When I read this I had to wipe away a tear. Our masters never tire of being so concerned about us, do they? Doesn’t this reveal a lot about the past two years? So all the disaffected, lost and deplorable people who decided they didn’t want to be prisoners and disposable commodities of a corrupt cabal of wealthy maniacs, and decided to just form their own little islands of freedom, grow their own little gardens, and have their own micro-economy in an attempt to remain human, will be relegated to “19th century villages?” 

Sounds about right. Reminds me of the Covid quarantine camps in Australia. But they could’ve at least said “20th century villages.” Unless of course the villages they refer to–their reeducation centers for the defiant–are intended to be so draconian that you will indeed feel like you are living in the 19th century.

“Once in a while I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. Nowhere I can go and not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me.”

Note that they have no qualms about saying you can’t go anywhere without being “registered.” Of course this obviously means “digitally tracked.” When the economy finally collapses completely and our manufactured supply chain shortages have you starving, you will beg for universal basic income (UBI) which will be generously offered to you, forcing you into a nightmarish digital labyrinth. The vaccine mandates were conditioning the herd for this innocent-sounding euphemism of totalitarian control. And you can bet your inhuman ass that everything you do, think and dream will be tracked and will absolutely be used against you. They promise.

“All in all, it is a good life. Much better than the path we were on, where it became so clear that we could not continue with the same model of growth. We had all these terrible things happening: lifestyle diseases, climate change, the refugee crisis, environmental degradation, completely congested cities, water pollution, air pollution, social unrest and unemployment.”

For some strange reason when I read this one I heard Bill Gates’ obnoxious voice. Oh yes, Bill, all in all the past two years have been an economic Renaissance period for you and other billionaires and a total nightmare for us useless eaters and deplorables who are out of control, unemployable, obsolete, and have the audacity to think we are entitled to freedom. 

You wiped out our remaining middle class and small businesses and transferred billions more into your pockets. You smirked in interviews, wearing your warm fuzzy little sweaters, while everyone you control hit us with one terrible manufactured crisis after another. 

You’ve programmed people like computers to fear an invisible virus, while your draconian mandates created millions of refugees seeking freedom. You and your ilk, along with the media you own, have truly outdone your depravity by fostering moral degradation, gender dysphoria, and crime-infested cities. Of course, you’ve also figured out that water pollution, air pollution, social unrest and unemployment (that you and your ilk also created) can be used as effective weapons to cull the herd of useless eaters taking up resources that you are entitled to. For all your hard work and philanthropy it’s amazing that you found the time to write about all the hardship you’ve endured during the pandemic you exploited. 

“Yes, you will own nothing, have no privacy and your lives will be hell on earth.”
