The Davos agenda this week aims to put forward the Great Reset Initiative, according to the World Economic Forum, the official launch of this new form of capitalism that purports to take advantage of the fact that the Pandemic has just devastated the economy to rebuild the world in the image that people like Klaus Schwab and the UN and all of these other organizations and individuals tend to want.

00:00:00.000 This is a big week if you are paying attention to the world that the global elites are trying
00:00:10.960 to create for you because this is the virtual Davos Agenda Summit put on by the World Economic
00:00:17.780 Forum. Normally all of the elites and world leaders would be hobnobbing in the Swiss Alps
00:00:22.800 but right now they have to slum it by doing it on Zoom because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:00:28.580 But nevertheless the Davos Agenda this week aims to put forward the Great Reset Initiative.
00:00:35.400 It is according to the World Economic Forum the official launch of this Great Reset Initiative
00:00:40.880 that purports to create a new form of capitalism and take advantage of the fact that the pandemic
00:00:47.900 has just devastated the economy to rebuild the world in the image that people like Klaus Schwab
00:00:53.640 and the UN and all of these other organizations and individuals tend to want.
00:00:58.460 A world that they have not yet succeeded at putting into place without the pandemic.
00:01:03.980 The problem is that people on the left insist that it is a conspiracy theory to talk about
00:01:09.040 the Great Reset even though it's the name of a book and it has its own website and the World
00:01:14.560 Economic Forum is entirely proud of the Great Reset Initiative.
00:01:19.060 This is what came up when Justin Trudeau indicated that he wanted to partake in a little bit of a
00:01:24.100 reset. Remember this?
00:01:25.180 This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset. This is our chance to accelerate our
00:01:31.220 pre-pandemic efforts to reimagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme
00:01:37.580 poverty, inequality, and climate change.
00:01:40.620 And then of course people like Conservative MP Pierre Polyev rightfully draw attention to it,
00:01:45.800 point out the similarities between Trudeau's reset rhetoric and Klaus Schwab's reset rhetoric,
00:01:50.660 and then Trudeau accuses them of peddling conspiracy theories.
00:01:54.980 The difficult moments we're in, it's nice to be able to try and find someone to blame,
00:02:00.340 something to point to, something to get mad at. I think we're seeing a lot of people fall prey to
00:02:05.480 disinformation and if Conservative MPs and others want to start talking about conspiracy theories,
00:02:12.640 well that's their choice.
00:02:13.860 Well if that's the case, the conspiracy has certainly thickened because this week,
00:02:18.960 Chrystia Freeland and Patti Hajdu are among the vaunted speakers of the World Economic Forum's Davos
00:02:25.380 agenda. Yes, the two Canadian cabinet ministers are actually speaking part of this week of events
00:02:30.280 that aims to launch the Great Reset Initiative. Chrystia Freeland is speaking about stakeholder
00:02:35.600 capitalism and of course Patti Hajdu is speaking about restoring cross-border mobility. This is the
00:02:41.340 woman who said that border closures are racist and don't work and then went all in on closing the 1.00
00:02:46.640 Canadian border, which will have been closed for coming up on a year quite soon, and then she's the
00:02:51.780 one that they want to speak about reopening the world, which I'll just let you take from that what
00:02:56.080 you may. But the problem is, while everyone who's everyone is speaking at the Davos agenda this week,
00:03:01.240 the keynote speaker, the person who kicked things off, was none other than Chairman Xi. Yes,
00:03:07.040 Xi Jinping spoke and actually tried to double down on the globalization and globalism that so many
00:03:14.160 people are critical of in the World Economic Forum's mandate. And he actually took aim at the arrogant
00:03:20.100 isolationism. He didn't call out Donald Trump by name, but you could tell it was an attack on Trump
00:03:25.020 and said that we need to go down even further the road of multilateralism and globalization and the
00:03:33.160 UN-led international order. And he called for adoption of the UN Agenda 2030 and other things
00:03:39.180 like this. And if you watch the whole speech, it's not something that really aligns with the China
00:03:46.160 that we all know. But there's something very revealing in this. China knows it's running the 0.92
00:03:52.800 world right now. China knows that this world order, which is not a conspiratorial term, that's actually
00:03:57.800 what it is here, is working to its benefit. The liberal capitalist free market world order
00:04:03.220 that was created by Western governments is something that China has been able to manipulate 0.79
00:04:07.660 and maneuver its way into a great deal of success with. So why would China want to mess with it? 0.98
00:04:13.580 China's investing right now about a trillion dollars in the so-called Belt and Road Initiative,
00:04:18.560 which is actually putting Chinese money at the forefront of development in, I think,
00:04:23.080 like close to 100 countries. It is China's world, and we are just tenants in it right now. 0.98
00:04:30.040 So when Klaus Schwab is heaping praise on Chairman Xi, and Chairman Xi is talking about the need to go
00:04:36.160 further down this road of international multilateralism, and then the Secretary General of the UN comes on
00:04:41.780 a couple hours later, Antonio Guterres, and says the same thing. And then later on in the week,
00:04:46.360 we've got Patty Hajdu and Chrystia Freeland that are all a part of this. How are Canadians supposed to
00:04:51.180 stand for being accused of spreading conspiracy theories to talk about the fact that there are
00:04:55.940 people that are trying to manipulate the world into this form of a reset? Hidden in plain sight
00:05:03.720 does not even begin to describe this. This thing that is actually a source of pride for some of
00:05:09.040 these international elites that we are being told we're not allowed to even talk about, let alone call
00:05:13.600 out. Now, this is not just some shadowy cabal of people that are sitting in some cave in the Swiss
00:05:19.920 Alps deciding how the world is supposed to be structured. These are people who actually have 0.99
00:05:24.360 leadership positions in countries around the world, like, for example, Chrystia Freeland and Patty
00:05:29.480 Hajdu, who are on the front lines of the government's response to COVID-19 and any number of other areas,
00:05:36.140 and these are the folks that they're hobnobbing with. And Chrystia Freeland knows these people very
00:05:40.780 well. One of her great claims to fame before she entered politics was literally writing the book
00:05:45.360 on the Davos elites, immersing herself in this world. And it's hard to imagine looking back that
00:05:51.900 this was done with a journalistic eye when now she is one of the very people that she was writing about
00:05:57.720 in her seminal work. And again, I mean, the topics that Hajdu and Freeland were talking about were
00:06:03.940 relatively banal. I mean, stakeholder capitalism, whoop-dee-doo, and cross-border mobility, which is
00:06:08.960 basically just saying, yes, we want to get the world moving again. I mean, there's nothing
00:06:12.320 controversial on the surface about those. But it's a part of them inserting themselves into this
00:06:18.320 agenda, it's literally called the Davos agenda, inserting themselves into this agenda that doesn't
00:06:23.880 actually care about the independence of nations, that actually rebukes it. The United Kingdom, by
00:06:30.360 leaving the European Union, actually struck a blow against this narrative that is unfolding, a world
00:06:36.660 beyond and moving past nation-states, a world in which every country's interests have to be
00:06:42.560 subservient to the global order, to the global interests. And it's not that we're heading towards
00:06:47.220 one world government, it's that individual countries are increasingly interested in surrendering
00:06:52.460 their own sovereignty to just do whatever the UN wants. And Justin Trudeau has these idealistic
00:06:58.740 delusions, these delusions that, by the way, were disproven going as far back as like Woodrow Wilson in the
00:07:04.380 early parts of the 20th century. And Justin Trudeau wants to just completely outsource all decision
00:07:10.180 making to the UN, to the World Health Organization. So no wonder Chairman Xi is happy with the world
00:07:16.680 order, because the world order is the one that gave the WHO that refused to actually look at China's
00:07:22.360 role in unleashing the COVID-19 pandemic. It's the world order that's allowing China to become such a 1.00
00:07:28.660 powerhouse. The world order that is happy when Chairman Xi gets up there and talks about the Paris
00:07:33.180 climate agreements, while on the other hand, actually committing genocide against Uyghur minorities
00:07:39.100 and having labor camps and state executions. That Chairman Xi was not criticized. But oh no,
00:07:45.680 no, no, to close Schwab, it's all great because yeah, he shares our goals of a world that's moving
00:07:50.100 forward, leaping into progress, because if there is a one world government, or even a de facto one world
00:07:55.460 government, it's going to be China that's at the helm of that. We are going to be covering this
00:08:01.120 more and more. In fact, in May, the World Economic Forum is planning to have an in-person summit
00:08:07.040 in Singapore, which they'd normally have again this week in Davos, but everything's a little bit
00:08:11.360 wacky this year. And I actually hope to be there covering this because we know that a lot of the
00:08:15.420 benefits to the world leaders that go to these things are not the official sessions, but all the
00:08:20.140 meetings that take place away from the cameras. And that's what we aim to see. So, but we're getting a
00:08:25.180 little bit of a taste of it by watching the Zoom version of the Davos agenda this week,
00:08:31.120 written for you under the auspices of A Great Reset, but oh no, it's just a conspiracy.
