While we never thought that the coronavirus pandemic was engineered to soften us up for harsher climate lockdowns to come later, we did note that our ruling class was watching our reactions to its repressive rules to see how far it could go the next time. Today we’re alarmed that “the next time” might be here soon.
In November 2020, we said we were afraid that the country was being conditioned to just take whatever is dished out by power-hungry officials, elected and unelected, and were troubled that Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, could say “now is the time to do what you’re told” with minimal condemnation and no demands that he be fired.
Nearly two years later, it’s clear that our concerns were justified.
We find the evidence in a Sept. 14 World Economic Forum document topped by the title “‘My Carbon’: An approach for inclusive and sustainable cities.”
The report says there have been “significant developments” over the last five to seven years “on social, environment and technology fronts that could help realize” the goals “for shaping the future towards smart and sustainable cities.”
Example No. 1 was the public response to the pandemic lockdowns.
COVID-19 was the test of social responsibility – A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world. There were numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations and acceptance of contact-tracing applications for public health, which demonstrated the core of individual social responsibility.
Are we misreading the intentions of the World Economic Forum? Unlikely. Read the entire document. It’s impossible to not come away with the stomach-churning feeling that the WEF saw in the pandemic lockdowns a model for climate lockdowns.
Never give it the benefit of the doubt. This is an organization that trains politicians and activists to follow the progressive playbook to remake our world not through cooperation between liberated people but coercion directed by those who wield the power of government.
It has told us we will own nothing and like it, that it’s determined to establish a “fascist economic model” and recalibrate “a whole range of human rights that are playing out online,” including “freedom of speech,” and is working toward eventually tracking our carbon footprints. It aims to push through the self-empowering “Great Reset,” which reminds us far too much of Mao’s “Great Leap Forward” and not just in name only.
The WEF and its soldiers have made a fetish out of “democracy,” but as soon as they can manufacture an “emergency,” such as the ginned-up fears of man-caused global warming, even that goes out the window. The elites who make up the organization’s leadership and its trainees who’ve been spread across the world in positions of influence and power flat-out want us to be their slaves, doing what they tell us when they tell us. End of rights, the end of individuality, one big socialist, global government. The WEF believes not in economic freedom but an economy centrally planned for the entire globe. Another phrase for that is “economic tyranny.” ....

Yup! Had some folks from Germany that couldn’t grasp how someone with a suspended drivers license ‘could’ still drive. “But, but, but zey haf no licenz so how can zey drife”. It’s a mind set thing I guess. Just following the rules. 😎✌
The 1st world liberal/progressives, the real ‘sheeple,’ will smugly follow whatever they are told.
Bingo! I remember a whole neighborhood succumbing to rolling home searches, no warrants, and the occupants willfully marching out
their front doors, arms held high.
DO NOT COMPLY.
All due respect, but what was funny about that?
That it confirmed exactly what I believed, among others have said as much on these boards.
Oh, not a “that’s funny” laugh...a “see, I told you so” laugh. Got it!
Correct.
The whole damned CITY closed down!!
How did you avoid the threats of fines or loss of licenses/permits for non-compliance?
Never had to deal with that. Most of my work is done at project sites and in my own office. I traveled extensively in 2020 and 2021. I was working on one big project where I was supposed to be working with a client’s staff at a project site. Their lawyer drafted a document with all kinds of daily testing requirements and indemnification clauses and told me that my company staff wouldn’t be allowed on-site without signing it. I told them (gently) that they’d be better off keeping their staff home and letting me and my people do 100% of the work instead of 50% of it. They were actually thrilled to do that — probably because they were dealing with Branch Covidian employees who didn’t want to leave their homes.

reminds me of the Poles (or whoever) that weren’t scared when their brakes failed on a hill becasue there was a stop sign at the bottom of it...
