The Great Reset

C'mon he must know his stuff about virology from the time he spent working in Virgin Megastore?!

You just believe that immedietely because its in an article?

The sources are linked to in the article, including the report by Peter Hug and the analysis of it by Georg Kreis (University of Basel).

Right so if I write a story about Bill Gates wanting to implant everyone with microchips, does the fact that I have given a history of his early life and business from reputable historians biographers validate my claims about him wanting to implant everyone with microchips?

Documented info about Klaus Scwhab's involvement in the arms industry has nothing to do with conspiracy theories. It speaks to his character which is the only relevance.

No it doesn't prove that he (or Bill Gates) must be involved in a plot.

It does give an indication of someone's trustworthiness if they are mixed up in such stuff imo. I would also look askance at tobacco manufacturers, sweat shop manufacturers etc.

That Declan Ganley had an interest in the arms industry was widely reported and definitely affected the public perception of him.

Reminder, you still haven't actually read Schwab's book.

Completely irrelevant to this thread.

It's not "documented info", it's cherry-picked info full of tenuous links and inferences. For example, any German person will have relatives who lived during Nazi control and either worked directly or indirectly for them.

Any idiot (or musician in this case) can write a blog full of carefully chosen and very selective facts to smear anyone with guilt by association. They've done the same with Bill Gates countless times.

It's bad character assassination by people with an obvious agenda for people with no critical thinking skills.

But that's not what this discussion is about..

It's about people claiming this person, who has no legislative power in any way, is going to somehow implement or usher in a nightmareish 1984 style dystopia, that we won't "own things" anymore, part of some incredibly vague global plot.

Have you read any of Klaus Schwabs books? You have extrapolated the same nefarious plan?

Or do you have a watered down version of that?

Or he's just an aged economist who is theory-crafting about a better future, like anyone does?

Okay thanks for the response, and what about the whole conspiracy angle?

And please be specific. Is there some big conspiracy involving Klaus Schwab, if so, what is it?

It's not criticism of Klaus Schwab. It's the implication he's part of a giant conspiracy plot/movement that no one can detail.

I don't like Donald Trump, I am critical of Donald Trump, but if I am hinting he is part of some big conspiracy I can't detail then that's nonsense. If someone points out that it's nonsense, I can't defend it by saying "why is there such hostility to my criticism of Donald Trump".

And that these changes include stopping people from owning things, installing a global communist government, implanting people with chips and making them cyborgs.

All of which will happen in the next 8 years.

And all of which was predicted supernaturally by the bible.

And none of which he can point to in the book that he's still not actually read.

Which are never going to happen.

Do you really think someone is going to repossess your house in the next 8 years?

Some people are looking for things to be afraid of.

Maybe the conspiracy theorists should try hanging their fruit a little higher, but they never do. Instead they repeat the same old half baked poorly-argued evidence and then proclaim it the gospel truth and confidently declare that anyone who doubts it is brainwashed or part of the cover-up.

Speculating is fine, but I have never, ever seen a conspiracy theorist declare their claims to be just speculation, an exercise in "just-spitballing" or some form of thought-experiment. Quite the contrary.

As for "writing a thesis outlining all the motives methods and details", if they're so sure they're right then yes they should be able to to do so. How on earth can someone be sure about something going on if they don't know who is doing it, how they're doing it or why they're doing it? My own suspicion is that such evasiveness is part of a long game: something will come out eventually about what's been going on, and the more vague one is about the details of it, the easier it will be to claim to have been right about it all along. But I'm just speculating (see how it works?😉).

"Some people will get sucked in to any old nonsense"

Quite. Then they post about it here with the certainty of evangelists.

The problem with linking to YouTube is that the videos tend to be quite long and I've watched enough of them to have no confidence that they will back up the poster's claim (because I've never seen one that did) to the point that I seriously doubted that the poster had even watched it. Or else had deliberately misrepresented it in the hope that nobody would actually watch it and suss out the trick.

If conspiracy theorists want higher-quality discussion, they should start with higher-quality claims, and display a higher quality of critical thinking.

These conspiracies, aka spoilers are really speeding up recently. Now who told us about this before the media?? Hmm..

Eh, if it’s a strategy being deployed as we type, then it should be easy to provide evidence to prove they it’s not a conspiracy theory, and have the topic moved to a different forum. However, after so many posts, ye lot have failed to do so and that’s why it’s still here in the conspiracy theory forum.

Sure, we want to build back better, build a better world, be more sustainable, etc, etc.

You think that's a bad thing? If yes, why?

Do you think this is a "cover" for something nefarious? If yes, what is the nefarious thing?

It's on the conspiracy forum because the original poster think's there's some conspiracy going on, it's right there in the first post:

"The conspiracy, according to what I've read, is that COVID-19 is being used a cover for ushering in a techno tyranny and sustainability on steroids. I have heard people argue that countries are deliberately destroying their economies so that they can be rebuilt according to the vision WEF has for the world."

“WE”

I don’t think “we” (the plebs) have much of a say in the matter.

We live in a representative democracy.

If people that represent us want more sustainability, a better future, etc, I support that. It's pretty standard stuff. Is there "something else" going on according to you?
