The ‘Great Reset’ – the Animal Farm version

To understand the "Great Reset" that the translational globalists have in mind for us, it's helpful to imagine a zoo.

Currently, transnational globalists are pushing for a “Great Reset.” It helps to understand what’s coming at us if you remember that the globalist’s mindset is akin to a zookeeper’s. Currently, the zookeepers have their animals safely confined but there remains a modicum of hope that the animals can liberate themselves.

First some context. History is replete with ideologies that seek to save people either from themselves or a foreign contagion. Until recently, this impulse, as the 20th-century shows, has taken the form of political ideologies.

For those espousing Marxism, the ideology sought to cleanse a people from the errors and machinations of the past. When the new ideas prevailed, even if only briefly, the alleged salvation from historical, social, and economic maladies required a reset of just about everything. More often than not, the reset was accompanied by a sea of blood and violence. The objects of salvation (the people) often died, ended up in the same circumstance, or worse off.

I’m, of course, referring to communism, fascism, and national socialism. Some will say, what about capitalism?

Whatever the ills of capitalism, it behooves one to consider the alternatives offered during the 20th century. Some have said that history is just one damn thing after another. Others say the history is the same damn thing after another.

In any case, the intellectuals of modernity (see Thomas Sowell’s Intellectuals and Society) decided that people left to their own devices will get in the way of humanity’s salvation. Their solution is global governance that will closely manage all human activity. Saving humanity is yesterday’s solution. Saving Planet Earth from humanity is the ticket. Enter the zookeeper.

Saving the Earth from humanity - does not seem like people would be valued in that system, only the zookeepers.

“As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major’s speech. Instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon. But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled.”
