The theories were triggered by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/focus\/the-great-reset\">World Economic Forum\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0(WEF) summit last year, which had the theme \u2018The Great Reset\u2019 and argued that the COVID crisis was an opportunity to address the burning issues facing the world.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/blogs-trending-57532368\">According to the BBC<\/a>, the term \u2018Great Reset\u2019 has received more than eight million interactions on Facebook and has been shared almost two million times on Twitter since the WEF initiative was launched.<\/p>\n<p>The set of conspiracy theories around the Great Reset are nebulous and hard to pin down, but piecing them together gives us something like this: the Great Reset is the global elite\u2019s plan to instate a communist world order by abolishing private property while using COVID-19 to solve overpopulation and enslaving what remains of humanity with vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>Intrigued by the palaver around last year\u2019s summit, I decided to find out what the WEF\u2019s Great Reset plan was really about. At the heart of conspiracy theories are supposed secret agendas and malicious intent. While these may be absent from the WEF&#8217;s Great Reset initiative, what I found was something almost as sinister hiding in plain sight. In fact, more sinister because it\u2019s real and it\u2019s happening now. And it involves things as fundamental as our food, our data and our vaccines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The real Great Reset<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The magic words are \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.project-syndicate.org\/commentary\/stakeholder-capitalism-new-metrics-by-klaus-schwab-2019-11\">stakeholder capitalism<\/a>\u2019, a concept that WEF chairman Klaus Schwab has been hammering for decades and which occupies pride of place in the WEF\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2020\/06\/now-is-the-time-for-a-great-reset\/\">Great Reset plan<\/a> from June 2020&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-page__rich-text\">\n<div class=\"rich-text\">\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conspiracy theories aside, there is something fishy about the Great Reset It\u2019s a corporate takeover of global governance that affects our food, our data and our vaccines Last year\u2019s WEF summit had the theme \u2019the Great Reset\u2019 EThamPhoto \/ Alamy Stock Photo \u2018The Great Reset\u2019 conspiracy theories don\u2019t seem to want to die.
