 We did that all over the world in 2020. AUTHORITIES MANDATED WEARING MASKS, STANDING AT LEAST 6-FEET APART, AVOIDED MEETING IN LARGE GROUPS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, CLOSED SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES, NO VISITORS ALLOWED IN HOSPITALS AND NURSING HOMES…. 

Authorities began mandating all of these and more in America in March 2020. I used the occasion to teach my students to think critically by asking “why.” Students responded in the usual ways saying “COVID,” “the university,” “the state,” “the government,” “the scientists,” and “they made us.” Then, I asked them whether they’d do the hokey pokey if “they” told us to.

What if the COVID-19 Pandemic were an experiment to test how people would react to authorities’ mandates during an emergency?

We’ve all heard about the World Economic Forum that meets in Davos, Switzerland, annually. The WEF’s mission statement: “Connecting leaders to make sense of global challenges and move the world forward together.” Of course, the Forum meets other times and places around the world. 

For example, in October 2019, WEF hosted a meeting in New York City to conduct a “simulation” in which health, government, and business leaders could work out how they might work together to confront “true-to-life dilemmas associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic.” They developed lists of recommended actions to facilitate “unprecedented levels of collaboration.” 

Now all they needed was a world crisis. As fate would have it, on June 3, 2020, about six months into the worldwide pandemic, Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF) announced, “To achieve a better outcome, the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions…. In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”

In totally unrelated news, America is closing in on its mid-term elections. The party out of power, i.e. Democrat, is running on a radical socialist platform that promises to upset government as usual. They are resisting a ‘King,’ eliminating the Electoral College and giving the House authority to choose the President among other little changes in our Constitution. 

Historically, the party out of power has won enough seats in the House and Senate to regain authority to run the government again. I’m not saying a Democrat win would be a step toward a Great Reset of capitalism, but I’ve been watching NCIS on CBS regularly for years, and Leroy Jethro Gibbs rule #39 is “There is no such thing as a coincidence.” I’m just sayin’. 

Let’s go back to my earlier question: “What if the COVID-19 Pandemic were an experiment to test how people would react to authorities’ mandates during an emergency?”

In hindsight, knowing that COVID-19 was man-made and that governments, media, and scientists lied to us for years, have we learned anything?

Riots by leftists in America, France, Spain and other nations are distractions. Leftists have not changed their goal of consolidating power from the nations. In 2020 America’s historic booming economy began crashing to unbelievable levels. So had economies of other nations who responded to the worldwide pandemic with lock downs and mandates. Billions of people around the world obediently followed authorities’ commands and mandates, even to their own detriment.

Are we witnessing a Great Reset?
