Quote of the Day 17th November 2020

 

Many are quite rightly getting perturbed by the idea proposed by the World Economic Forum of a Great Reset based around environmental fascism being imposed from above on every nation on the planet. This is scary and I believe that it is something that should be politically resisted and it is almost intolerable that a government that Britons voted in to increase Britain’s sovereignty is actively working, with activists like Boris Johnson’s girlfriend Carrie ‘Princess Nut Nut’ Symonds, to decrease Britain’s national sovereignty.

However this Great Reset idea is just one of a great many utopian schemes that have been cooked up by the intellectual great and good over the years, especially following World War One when such ideas gained traction in a shattered world. These ideas, whether it be the idea of a United States of Europe or the League of Nations, or the border changes imposed on Eastern Europe by the Treaty of Versailles and the Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine, the creation of the Bretton Woods Institutions and the United Nations after World War II, never ended up truly solving problems or even being able to live up to their promises. The League of Nations failed through being disregarded,the Versailles treaty set the stage for the Second World War by imposing reparations on Germany that were paid for in party by the German Social Democrat post war government by merely printing more money thereby causing hyperinflation. Also the state created by the Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine, what later became Yugoslavia, was destroyed, less than 100 years after being created, by the very ethnic conflict that the creation of what was then the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was intended to avoid.

A commentator at the Conservative Woman blog has made a very interesting observation of the idea of the ‘Great Reset’. The gist of what they are saying is that it’s OK to have these utopian ideas but how are they practically implemented and what happens when there is mass resistance? Whilst I believe that this Great Reset idea should be knocked back, there is the possibility that it could end up as a disaster either though internal tensions or people seeing through the propaganda?

This is what the commenter said:

I am still waiting to see the flesh on the bones of this Great Reset, or whatever is the latest moniker they are using for it.

They seriously need to answer the real questions. Like deciding who exactly will be the rulers of their utopia. OK, I know they all think it will be themselves, but they can’t all be the Supreme Master. Somebody will have to stick the knife into the others a bit faster than anyone can stick it into him. Will they ever decide who that will be? Because none of these massive egos has any intention of playing second fiddle to anyone.

What will they do about the world’s religious beliefs ? Choose one and make it compulsory? Abolish all of them? Invent a new one? Or do they think that 7 billion people will just abandon their beliefs when ordered to do so?

And how exactly will they divest us all of our property? Using whose army? Bearing in mind that it will need to be massive and ruthless, but its foot soldiers will also be losing their own property, which makes it rather difficult to induce them to swear allegiance to the ruling elite who are screwing them as hard as they are being required to screw everyone else.

There are an awful lot more deadly serious questions of these kinds to be answered before there is any chance of getting within a million miles of making the damned thing work. But expecting a bunch of power-crazed psychopaths to co-operate with each other to the extent of doing so looks well beyond them. Is Davos any more than a club for rich dreamers to float their fantasies in front of one another?

And so far, I have yet to see them address the biggest question of all: how on earth do they think that they will be able to protect themselves when there are literally billions of enraged people hunting them down like mad dogs when they finally work out just who is responsible for robbing, starving and impoverishing them and their families?

This Great Reset looks like fascism and smells like fascism but we should remember that it failed in the past and it could quite easily fail again. The author of this piece makes the very interesting and cogent observation that it’s difficult to get a room full of egos to cooperate and this will bring internal tension. It reminds me of what happened to Moselyite fascism after World War II. Whilst entities like the 43 Group did a lot to disrupt their activities, in a lot of cases these groups shot themselves in the foot because every leader of every group wanted to be the ultimate ‘Fuhrer’ and stabbed others in the back in order to do this. The author’s points about faith and the motivation of those tasked with carrying out the ecofascist plot, also shoot holes in these plans.

Politicians are not superhuman, they are like all of us, vulnerable to group-think. But I suspect that those who have imbibed deeply from this well of group-think may find that their utopian ideas may, just as the Post World War treaties and international institutions did, be destroyed by reality.

  1. “Politicians are not superhuman …”
    I’d settle for some who are reasonably intelligent, with a good grasp of reality, a genuine moral compass and sense of probity.
