  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

And what sort of "pushback" do you suggest, Merrill?
I can't speak for Merrill but I have spoken up about the Great Reset a couple of times on this forum. My big complaint about the whole thing is that all hard working peoples are not getting a say in any of the Great Reset. It's all the heads of big corporations, big organizations, and rich entrepreneurs. Why do these people think they speak for everyone?

One of the points Great Reset is people may not have to work, that everything we want will be provided for us and we'll be happy.

@Hvizsgyak and @Merrill,

Sure. It's yet another manifestation of the old scientific canard that "because we think we can, we should ... or even, we will."

I think we all know it's more or less another attempt to move the world into a framework of socialism. However, the only "pushback" I would do, other than to toss a soft-cover bible at the WEF, is to share my individual skepticism with those who want a Global Reset and tell them, "I don't think your political and social rhetoric, as obscurely delivered as it has been thus far, will provide the reset you'd like for it to..."

It's called global government to which all nations bow. It goes by the name Corporatism.
that is exactly what it is

I remember reading a book from Fareed Zackaria, in which he extolled the virtues and efficiency of unelected, global organizations, which could create and enforce policy. The technocrat globalists love this idea of borderless corporatism, and the total absence of accountability

Corporations will be held to standards defined by "stakeholder capitalism" --which really means, unelected officials having a stake in your operation, and governments defining how much profit is reasonable, what sectors you can go into, and how much carbon you can emit into the atmosphere.

This results in the loss of real shareholder value, market distortions, and massive corruption

The thing is, I don't think there's much we can "do" about it. If I was a Post-Millennialist, then I might deign to offer a kind of Christian activist's form of "pushback." Unfortunately, I'm a pessimist where the general human future is concerned... my job as I see it isn't to change the world or take command of its politics, but to hold myself together as it runs over me.

This is not conspiracy theory. These are the words and writings of one Klaus Schwab (Founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum).
Klaus Schwab, a man born and influenced when motherland was deeply into eugenics.
..... and I reckon with you and other believers that "great" does not mean wonderful, good, magnanimous or beneficial for people ....
it is a massive world change in the world like massive invasive cancer growing in a persons body ?

The attempts to change the system within the US are underway.
The changes since 2020 alone have been horrendously evil and malevolent, gigantic and widespread and in almost everything from top to bottom, government, religion, education, finance, corporations, laws, legality, hollywood, churches, charities,...... everything affected.

Six years later and we're on schedule. With subscriptions becoming a way of life I wonder if many have made the connection between that and Schwab's statements. It was hard to conceive how a lack of ownership would make one happy but as things unfold we know the answer is nearing. By the time they finish breaking the economy and offering a solution via ubi; people will eagerly accept it despite the tradeoffs elsewhere.

It was said recently that people need to learn to share, not own. This of course means rent. It also means only the few in control will own so sharing doesn’t apply to them. They get to own it all, their personal utopia (that ends with death). They see themselves as oh so praiseworthy for taking on the burdens of wealth.

Sharing sounds so benevolent and it is but not when twisted to come at a price. There is the difference between Kingdom and adversity. One is freely shared while the other comes with a price. The latter is the backwards traditional way of humankind.

I remember a video I saw during the pandemic that was discussing climate change in relation to occupancy. I don't recall the organization they cited but the gist was making the most of one's home and using it wisely from the overseer's perspective. They gave an example about an individual living in a 3 bedroom home alone and said it was too much space for one person and they'd add roommates for the extra bedrooms.

Another mentioned the sharing economy in respect to home goods. You wouldn't own a mixer per se but would use it for the task in mind and return it to a repository. If you look up the town of Oxfordshire, UK you'll learn about their experiences with smart city legislation. They were trying to restrict their mobility and prevent them from leaving (via car) when they exceeded the cap. They have the videos on YouTube that show them blocking the cars.

Sharing sounds so benevolent and it is but not when twisted to come at a price. There is the difference between Kingdom and adversity. One is freely shared while the other comes with a price. The latter is the backwards traditional way of humankind.

It's a dystopian nightmare they plan to implement. Remember when they said New Yorkers should be willing to house illegals in their home? I consider statements like much like the other in the UK as dry runs. They're gauging what we'll permit.
