Public, in-person discussion of the Great Reset feels long overdue, distracted as we have been by lockdowns, masks, vaccines, climate and the ever-increasing difficulties of simply living an ordinary life. But do all these things need to be seen in the context of a global technocratic agenda to remove the relevance of the nation state, and to remove politics, justice, due process and individual choice?
On October 24th there was an in-person event to discuss the Great Reset organised by the Together Foundation and titled “#Together Talks: Is a ‘Great Reset’ inevitable?“
Foundation founder Alan Miller introduced proceedings with a stirring and engaging talk about the foundation, which supports robust free speech, democracy, freedom and our individual rights. He outlined the situation in British politics today, where a Government with a huge majority nonetheless seems to be under the control of ‘The Markets’. The events of the previous few days he described as a “technocratic seizure of Government” via the installation of Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt, and reinforced by Keir Starmer. He mentioned the power of the World Economic Forum (the WEF, also known as Davos), the WHO, Gates Foundation, Blair Foundation, the technocratic elite and many more NGOs. In all this, what is the role of the public? Can we do anything?
Matt Gubba was the first of the panellists to speak. In his view the Great Reset is far from inevitable, and “lives and dies with public compliance”. He thinks the technology to put in place the digital ID, digital currency and social credit scoring system is many years away from being ready to go live. One danger we face is that these are being developed on the quiet, while our attention is diverted by other matters, and we need to keep fighting it.
Alan Miller described the way many of his followers argue that ‘it’s all done’ and so they don’t fight back and might as well just lie down in a ditch. Yet, he continued, we have done much good already, such as resisting the vaccine passport and mandatory vaccination for NHS staff. We can and must keep going, he said – to the quiet but obvious approval of everyone in the room (roughly 200 people).
Frank Furedi discussed the authority of the technocratic elites (the Science, the Experts). The only other authority is that of the people, he said, but instead the big decisions are made by distant and abstract institutions (IMF, WEF and others). There is no debate and no choice presented to the people, Net Zero being a case in point. The central problem we face, he argues, is the ‘national collaborators’ in each country. These encourage a type of snobbery which washes its hands of politics, pontificating that ‘politics is bad, it’s for idiots, it’s not for good people like us’. This is fundamentally wrong, he says, and we ‘the people’ must be dynamic makers of politics, not spectators or “voyeurs”.
Nick Hudson drew attention to the sheer volume of terrible work done by the WEF, including the false premise of a fixed capacity of the planet, and the generation of ‘global crises’ needing ‘global solutions’. ‘Stakeholder governance’ is especially bad, being a blending of monopoly companies and governments – the very definition of fascism, he suggested. The WEF may well not be the ultimate power in this, he argued, but it does generate the narrative, and the narrative drives reality. In a situation of mass propaganda, we need to get better at explaining its anti-human ideas to the public.
Michael Driver and Frank Furedi both drew attention to the relevance of the ‘culture wars’ in undermining our confidence, agency and individuality. We need to fight that directly and also develop our imagination, intuition, understanding, creativity and appreciation of beauty.
Ben Pile pointed out that Keir Starmer’s Green Prosperity Plan is exactly the same as Boris Johnson’s 10 Point Plan. There is no democratic legitimacy for Net Zero since all the large and medium parties included it in their manifesto so it was all but impossible to cast a vote against it. If you follow the money, every single green movement, from Extinction Rebellion to academics in major universities, are all connected via the funding that stems from the billionaires, he argues. The same individuals and organisations have pushed ‘divestment’ from energy companies, and this lack of capital investment has inevitably led to a scarcity which is entirely artificial and unnecessary, there being no lack of coal, oil and gas available for extraction. The WEF is not central to this agenda, he said, and we should not accept that it’s all written, done and dusted.
Tara McCormack revisited the question of how we got to where we are now, a situation where the Great Reset unfortunately appeals to quite a lot of people. When New Labour came to power in 1997 one of their slogans was “what matters is what works”. But ‘works for whom?’ is the relevant question that wasn’t addressed, she said. In reality, there was a systematic transfer of manufacturing capability away from Britain and Europe, and the demos has steadily been removed from decision-making and control. The setting of interest rates was transferred from politicians to the Bank of England’s technocrats. Outsourcing of public services meant an end to public involvement and oversight, with legitimacy derived from contracts not from the demos. PPP (Public-Private Partnerships) handed infrastructure as well as public services to private companies, who gained the profit while the public was left with the risk, at enormous ongoing cost. We need to “repoliticise” the economy, McCormack argues, but she can find no answers as to how we ‘the people’ can get back to the centre of decision-making.
Several speakers discussed the influence of Black Rock and other ‘woke’ asset management companies, vested interests and lobbyists.
Alan Miller next invited questions and comments from the audience. These led to discussion of the obscene levels of national debt and transfers of wealth brought about via Covid and the Ukraine war, and the power and influence of China, specifically the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). Matt Gubba described the CCP as a very dangerous and insidious threat, as big as any other threat, reminding the audience that Jeremy Hunt’s wife works for them.
Other topics included the importance of supporting and buying from small and medium businesses, many now saddled with huge Covid debts at 17-18% interest rates, and of paying by cash rather than electronic transfer; education morphing into indoctrination via a controlled syllabus; and the WHO executive takeover, signed up to by both Biden and Johnson, which nobody voted for.
On the psychological side, a mental health worker described the dire impacts on ordinary people of the constant stream of fear pumped out by the Government and media. In fighting back against the Great Reset, we need to stay positive and loving and put out a positive energy, he said. Many speakers commented that most of the general public remain oblivious to the technocratic agenda. Tara McCormack explained that the Behavioural Insight team has created a transferable model on how to create consensus, whether regarding Covid, Ukraine, or whichever crisis, they convey a message that ‘this is how all right-minded people think’, which is depressingly successful. The panel agreed that we need to keep talking to people, starting with their immediate concerns and then helping them to join just a few of the dots into the bigger picture.
Another speaker emphasised the importance of engaging in local events and community campaigns, even if on other matters we might disagree.
Another speaker suggested that part of the problem is that we lack a positive agenda of our own. I agree with this point, and think that many of us do have clear ideas that we need to articulate together, but Frank Furedi put his finger on it in his reply – that we are always playing catchup and reacting to the latest blow inflicted on us. But even that is better than giving up, he said.
Alan Miller concluded by calling on us to act with courage and to be inspiring and effective.
Towards the end I felt that there was a missed opportunity. The event was advertised as being from 7pm to 9.30pm. Although it started promptly, it finished at 9pm. At £25 a person, I admit I felt short-changed. The people who attended were highly committed; for example, a lady near me had travelled up from the South Coast for the event and was staying the night in a hotel. Another person had come from as far away as Cornwall. This half hour could have been used as an active planning session, with time to go around the audience and find out what they could contribute to the campaign, or to divide into several smaller groups to focus on a specific aspect.
Overall it was an excellent event, not just talking about the need for free speech and freedom of association, but actually doing it. I found that listening in person made things clear in a way that no amount of online videos can achieve, and the unusual perspectives on politics I found especially insightful and motivational. Without politics all we have left is tyranny. The full video is available on YouTube.

Short answer is no. Fascisms always implode when confronted by force. Net Zero, Gaia killing ‘green’ ‘energy’, the Rona, ‘The’ Science ™, the UN-WHO, are all the tyrannical whores dressed up in different technology and propaganda. The Reset will fail because there is no truth, no faith, no reason, in it. What is often missed is the obvious evil which is present. Masonic, Satanic, Pagan or other appellations if you prefer, but all baying for your blood and your demise and the end of your civilisation. This is as much a war of the spirt and mind, as it is of the physical and material. Arm yourselves. It is a long war. And yes, we the little people will win, because inevitably, truth and faith will re-emerge.
Indeed. These things go in cycles, with I think a general drift towards improvement over the very long term, for the reasons you state. The thing that worries me most is a little bit of complacency from some along the lines of “the technology to control everything is not ready yet”. This is clearly true, but the technology to control some things is already here and being used, and this can only get worse. So our only defence over the long term is ceaseless vigilance and pushing back. The longer we leave it, the worse it gets and the harder the job of fighting back.
Good to see what I think is a former Lockdown Sceptics regular BTL poster still going strong (unless I’ve got the wrong Rosie).
Hear, hear.
Excellent comment capturing the key dimensions.
Let’s not forget that the psychopathic luciferians with their bizarre, basic ideology have already lost – they’re but a mere ripple in the eternal realm of Spirit.
Let us meditate, in communion with the Eternal Light, exhaling Resilience, Love, Faith and Compassion for all sentient beings.
We, the little people, have never had to face a corrupt technocracy that controls nearly all forms of communication. It makes the struggle so much more difficult.
This is neo Fascism. Fascism of old was driven by government officials co-opting business and industry. This Neo Fascism is driven, in contrast, by the multinational businesses elites and power brokers more than the government officials. The agenda is not so clear because in truth there are multiple intertwined agendas united in the intent to increase the power making stranglehold through highly effective lobbying (Co-option) to shape legislation and recruit technocrats (like Fauci), influencing to the point of almost wholly setting the news agenda, and of course making money. There is at the top-level the agendas of Climate Change, (increasingly) food supply, Covid and the Military Industrial complex. Private equity to the tune of trillions of dollars unite each of these, which can perhaps more usefully be thought of as mechanisms of opportunity. ESG investment (Environmental, Social, Governanace) is a total anti ‘the masses” disaster which simply provides a mechanism for these private equity funds and the ultra rich elite to siphon the money that should be coming back to individual private investors and pension funds etc into new businesses owned owned by the private equity funds. Worse they are being supported willingly by the very many useful idiots who wholly believe these narratives in the masses. Business such as heat pump manufactures, insect food protein start-ups, farming land and land for wind farms, vaccine development and manufacture. But the technocrats have become too cocky and are overplaying their hand. The erstwhile “invisible hand” of the technocratic elite united in this exercise in shaping state power law and subsidy to bolster these businesses, has actually – since the pandemic – become highly evident and obvious to those prepared to look, think for themselves and question the narrative. The level of government sponsored and elite sponsored misinformation is now overwhelming. The fact we are being gaslit by government telling us it is we who are purveying the misinformation had gone far beyond credibility. The technocratic elites have stretched the membrane so far it is now transparent. All I need to say are the words “criminal, Nazi, terrorist Canadian truckers” and “emergency act,” or “safe and effective” to illustrate my point.
I agree with much of your commentary but wonder if you are not overstating the role of private equity in all of this. PE comprises around $6 trillion out of total global assets under management of around $120 trillion. So PE represents about 5% of global investment. I would have thought that the global asset managers, such as BlackRock, might be more involved in setting these global agendas than PE.
it is true. Nothing beats an in person event. A chance to meet up. I met people from other Together events, people I met during protests and new people.
A chance to exchange ideas.
I liked the point Frank Furedi made that politicians appear to have outsourced decision making to non-elected institutions, such as the EU, UN, WHO.
We do need to get more pro-active to be able to influence the future.
Whilst gatherings such as this are important for morale, my sense is that the majority of the population are drowning in ennui, just trying to keep their heads above water, caring for their families, surviving Covid hysteria and paying bills.
The 10% who control the corporations, the governments, the bureaucracy, the NGO’s are indefatigable.
We 10% who are red-pilled don’t hold the reins, and can only function as a resistance movement.
I don’t find the great reset helpful, net zero is actually the means by which serfdom is being imposed. Therefore we should fight that a d not this straw man the great reset which I believe is just a distraction from net zero. Net zero can be easily stopped with the right political will.
All part of the same bucket of excrement in my view.
I agree net zero is proving, practically speaking,the most powerful tool. The great Reset is a proposal with nebulous and not wholly coordinated command and control. No one actually thinks Klaus Schwab is actually stroking a cat while sitting in secret at the head of some table with billionaires sitting around it. Covid was temporarily the most powerful agenda but the people have grown wise to it and it’s largely lost it’s power now. My hope is that, through the energy crisis and having become more aware of the control mechanisms (censorship, legislation, social pressure through social media, the desire to project a virtuous persona, taxes, subsidy, “social justice” lawmaking), people will find some of the shine has come off the whole climate change agenda and the stitches are beginning to unravel.
Good point – probably better as a matter of tactics to focus on specifics, especially specifics that are hitting people where it hurts.
You win a war by being cautious about the battles you fight, and by winning one battle at a time.
Was there any discussion about the creation of a new political party in the UK? Pierre Poilievre’s promise to his followers that he will have no minister with connections to the WEF and his subsequent election as leader of his party was a very welcome development.
The fact that articles like this are still postulating, while the thing and all the proponents of the thing are actually happening, might go some way to answering the headline question.
“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” Karl Rove – Bush jnr’s White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy.
I don’t think the empire he was referring to was the United States. But a supranational empire, which through the weight of its assets held via corporations and foundations now control the global narrative. Our (ordinary people) role is to keep providing the ‘reaction’ to the ‘problem’, which we are steered towards, so the ‘solution’ can be implemented.
The goal is global enslavement. Just as it is says in the Bible.
Its a really hard really bitter pill to swallow and the idea is so crackpot and so hair brain that it can’t be true. Can it? This is the essence of the article.
The events in Revelations and Yeshua Messiah’s words in Matthew 24 can and will only happen in a fully globalised world. Throughout the course of history since and before Christ the world has been continually moving in that direction; recently with frightening acceleration.
Man has never before controlled the world under a single unified system. I can only speak for myself, because I know I would never have believed The Word unless I came to understand it on my own terms. But as a former devout rationalist I can testify it takes a giant slice of humble pie to embrace a position I once believed false, backward and ignorant, to discover the reverse is true and I was in error.
I never thought I would see the day when Russia was the best bet in the fight for traditional values.
A US Congressman (Ruskin) said:
“Russia is an Orthodox country professing traditional values. That is why it must be destroyed, no matter what price the US pays for it.”
I’m doing my best to fight-back, following the steps being recommended by The Global Walkout as best and as much as I realistically can. The members of our small SitP Group are all doing our best to, at the very least, delay their plans.

The problem with in-person events is that they are generally held in central London and occasionally in other large cities such as Manchester. Attendance isn’t practical and/or affordable for me … or, I suspect, many others.

I started to read that but only to the point where that tired old chestnut of US ignorants unwilling to and probably incapable of learning anything about the world beyond their wasteline popped up – the hypothetical blending of governments and multinational corporations they like to call fascism. Guys, The world may well be in need of saving. But not by horses who confuse the inside of the blinders they joyfully wear with the sky. These are just useful for their masters.
Mussolini’s corporate state was patterned on the medieval guild system and its corporations were supposed to be bodies of craft and tradesmen of various professions, generalized to all relevant sectors of a national society. This has absolutely nothing to do with present-day multinational companies who happen to be legally incorporated and are hence also called corporations.
I think I get now why they are allowing the “migrant crisis”. “Look”, they can say, ” these people go to work in the illegal economy, cash in hand. Abolish cash and the problem goes away”. Make the “crisis” bad enough and maybe people will accept this. CBDC here we come!
The ‘great reset’ is already an irreversible catastrophic failure. The hubris of the criminals is being destroyed by the sweetest rising Nemesis in all history.
But, if we believe in all this (the Great Reset Agenda), which I do, where do we go from here?
I agree with some comments below, that this is a war against humanity, spiritual as much as anything, if not more. And, as others have said, some of the stuff (eg ID passes) is well along the way already. As Simon Elmer says, convenience brings compliance. You only have to see that from May 2023 the EU are introducing facial recognition and fingerprinting to realise this – people will comply because they want to travel. The James Delingpole podcast with Simon Elmer is well worth listening to and his book ‘The Road to Fascism‘ should be read.
If Elon Musk was on charge, life would be so much easier. There would be no more klaus whatever and his crew of trained chimps. Who know, they may all dissolve as the requests for amnesty are coming in thick and fast and as the owner of space X, and now twitter get our party going
Schwab, Gates, Soros et al, look very close to shuffling off this mortal coil, so I’m not worried and as for all the joke governments of the world supported by their very own version of Keystone Cops. Rest easy folks. Example: £36B wasted on “Track n Trace”……remember
