2021 Resolutions: The great push-back against the cosmic scam of the “Great Reset”

The coronavirus upheaval justifies posing fundamental questions.  Do we want to go back to “business as usual”, do we want simply to pick up on a dysfunctional economic model?  This is a historic opportunity to demand and implement cross-cutting changes in the system, demand that our governments cease wasting our limited resources in wars, missiles, drones, military bases, false flag and other criminal interventions. This is the time to draw on the experience of top economists like Jeffrey Sachs, Joseph Stiglitz and Thomas Piketty to reorient the economy toward a coherent human-security paradigm that leave no one behind. We can and must demand transparency and accountability from the authorities, whose responsibility it is to convert the economy into a sustainable people-centred institution that creates jobs in the health, education and services sectors.  We must push-back against the embrace of Big Brother, globalism, militarism, totalitarianism, intrusive government surveillance, conformist culture and homologation, thought police and denunciation, fake news from government and the so-called “quality press”, fake law, fake history, censorship and self-censorship.  We must push-back against efforts to turn us into mere numbers, robots, or “consumers”.  Inaction against the social virus of conformism and indifference means surrendering the fundamental freedoms and human rights acquis that prior generations won for themselves and for us.  This is no time to cop out, deceiving ourselves that things eventually will fall into place. This is the moment to rise up to the challenge, demand reasonable budgetary priorities, laws and regulations that place people above profits, demand ethics in foreign policy, an end to the insane arms race and criminal wars.  All humans have a right to live in peace – not just ourselves, but also all the peoples that our governments assault, exploit and humiliate.  We demand that public institutions promote and protect our privacy and family life.  Both are under attack in flagrant violation of articles 17 and 23 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and Article 10 of the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. We must assert our individual and collective right to our culture, identity and traditions.  We demand from our democratically elected officials that they do what they were elected to do, that they represent us and not only the lobbies or the corporations.  The alternative to action is reckless self-deception.  The Romans already knew that mundus vult decipi – the world wants to be deceived.  Let us not be deceived by the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset”, the latest scam to keep the rich rich and the poor poor.  Even Julius Caesar warned about our blindness and our tendency to believe what we want to believe – with disastrous consequences. Quae volumus, ea credimus libenter (De bello civili, 2, 27, 2). More than ever in 2021, we must demonstrate the courage of our convictions and learn to articulate our own ideas – notwithstanding the asphyxiating “political correctness” that undermines democratic governance.  We need more whistleblowers that reveal the covers-up of criminals in government service.  Sapere aude!
