    My issue is that either these insitutions are so inept that they've failed, for close to 80 years now, to impose their governmental control on the world to the detriment of countries who choose liberalized economies; or that they've been controlling things so much that those countries that have liberalized their economies will have all their economic gains wiped out when the powers that be impose massive controls. The latter making no logical sense."

    I'm going with incompetent technocrats... if there are any out there that identify as globalists.

    But I await submittal of further evidence.
    the logic is "make people think you value freedom, gain authority, then go totalitarian".

    it's called deception, 'sperg.

    Again, no logic and no evidence. You keep making the same faulty predictions that others have for decades.

    I just explained to you what deception is.

    you were saying you didn't understand.



    the country has massive jobs loss and loss of production capacity due to globalization fanaticism.

    do you even approve of reciprocal tariffs?

    probably not, you hate america and freedom.

    Now sit down and take your medicine.

    @AHZ

    So, in your estimation, is there a difference between "globalists" who believe in a One World Order and people who believe in global free trade?

    hmmmm, a fairly broad definition.
    One that gives a great amount of leeway when using to describe a group and/or its supposed political positions/ambitions.
    In fact, gives no hint at it being a group , just describes it as an individual.
    As such, I see it as no basis for a counter to or refutation of the term-- "globalist"-- or the globalists, one world order/, one world government agenda.

    SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
    Now is the time for a 'great reset'
    Jun 3, 2020

    In every crisis, there is an opportunity (note this--RJL), especially so when one manufactures the desired crisis in the first place, eh? RJL

    We can emerge from this crisis a better world, if we act quickly and jointly, writes Schwab.
    The changes we have already seen in response to COVID-19 prove that a reset of our economic and social foundations is possible.
    This is our best chance to instigate stakeholder capitalism - and here's how it can be achieved.
    COVID-19 lockdowns may be gradually easing, but anxiety about the world’s social and economic prospects is only intensifying. There is good reason to worry: a sharp economic downturn has already begun, and we could be facing the worst depression since the 1930s. But, while this outcome is likely, it is not unavoidable.

    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. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a “Great Reset” of capitalism.

    https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/...a-great-reset/

    DISCOVER
    What is the World Economic Forum doing about the coronavirus outbreak?


    There are many reasons to pursue a Great Reset, but the most urgent is COVID-19. Having already led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, the pandemic represents one of the worst public-health crises in recent history. And, with casualties still mounting in many parts of the world, it is far from over.

    This will have serious long-term consequences for economic growth, public debt, employment, and human wellbeing. According to the Financial Times, global government debt has already reached its highest level in peacetime. Moreover, unemployment is skyrocketing in many countries: in the US, for example, one in four workers have filed for unemployment since mid-March, with new weekly claims far above historic highs. The International Monetary Fund expects the world economy to shrink by 3% this year – a downgrade of 6.3 percentage points in just four months.

    All of this will exacerbate the climate and social crises that were already underway. Some countries have already used the COVID-19 crisis as an excuse to weaken environmental protections and enforcement. And frustrations over social ills like rising inequality – US billionaires’ combined wealth has increased during the crisis – are intensifying.

    Have you read?
    What risks does COVID-19 pose to society in the long-term?
    COVID-19 is a litmus test for stakeholder capitalism
    Left unaddressed, these crises, together with COVID-19, will deepen and leave the world even less sustainable, less equal, and more fragile. Incremental measures and ad hoc fixes will not suffice to prevent this scenario. We must build entirely new foundations for our economic and social systems.

    The level of cooperation and ambition this implies is unprecedented. But it is not some impossible dream. In fact, one silver lining of the pandemic is that it has shown how quickly we can make radical changes to our lifestyles. Almost instantly, the crisis forced businesses and individuals to abandon practices long claimed to be essential, from frequent air travel to working in an office.

    Likewise, populations have overwhelmingly shown a willingness to make sacrifices for the sake of health-care and other essential workers and vulnerable populations, such as the elderly. And many companies have stepped up to support their workers, customers, and local communities, in a shift toward the kind of stakeholder capitalism to which they had previously paid lip service.

    Clearly, the will to build a better society does exist. We must use it to secure the Great Reset that we so badly need. That will require stronger and more effective governments, though this does not imply an ideological push for bigger ones. And it will demand private-sector engagement every step of the way.


    The Great Reset agenda would have three main components. The first would steer the market toward fairer outcomes. To this end, governments should improve coordination (for example, in tax, regulatory, and fiscal policy), upgrade trade arrangements, and create the conditions for a “stakeholder economy.” At a time of diminishing tax bases and soaring public debt, governments have a powerful incentive to pursue such action.

    Moreover, governments should implement long-overdue reforms that promote more equitable outcomes. Depending on the country, these may include changes to wealth taxes, the withdrawal of fossil-fuel subsidies, and new rules governing intellectual property, trade, and competition.

    The second component of a Great Reset agenda would ensure that investments advance shared goals, such as equality and sustainability. Here, the large-scale spending programs that many governments are implementing represent a major opportunity for progress. The European Commission, for one, has unveiled plans for a €750 billion ($826 billion) recovery fund. The US, China, and Japan also have ambitious economic-stimulus plans.

    Rather than using these funds, as well as investments from private entities and pension funds, to fill cracks in the old system, we should use them to create a new one that is more resilient, equitable, and sustainable in the long run. This means, for example, building “green” urban infrastructure and creating incentives for industries to improve their track record on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.

    The third and final priority of a Great Reset agenda is to harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good, especially by addressing health and social challenges. During the COVID-19 crisis, companies, universities, and others have joined forces to develop diagnostics, therapeutics, and possible vaccines; establish testing centers; create mechanisms for tracing infections; and deliver telemedicine. Imagine what could be possible if similar concerted efforts were made in every sector.


    The COVID-19 crisis is affecting every facet of people’s lives in every corner of the world. But tragedy need not be its only legacy. On the contrary, the pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world to create a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future.

    I don't think there was a claim made that globalists were imaginary; I've seen countless threads and references to actual people. My opening question was evil geniuses or incompetent technocrats (both plural)? Further I think incompetent technocrats is redundant especially as the technocrat usage was pejorative. Can you find references to whomever one wants to describe as a "globalist" and links to many egghead conferences and working papers? Without a doubt. My question gets to what the evidence says about their impact on the globe, so to speak. If I were a globalist I wouldn't publish a working paper.

    There should be a third choice. Divisive and ignorant children who cannot understand there are more ways of looking at a problem than one that is fed to them from the hive mind of central government.

    I recently read Alex Jones "The Great Reset". I've never really been much of an Alex Jones fan, but his book really was an eye opener. He did a great job of explaining the history of globalist and technocrats, and he explained how Carter, Bush, and a whole bunch of other globalists are connected via the trilateral commission. He discussed current globalist and their goals, he discussed covid and globalism, and he discussed how globalist want to use technology. Alex is much better educated and well spoken than I had previously understood.

    I'm sure it was a wonderful book with many dubious connections.

    and I'll not be specific by making reference the specific people making those horrifying quotes I'll say "someone", so it all seems somewhat random and vague.

    so I'll lump them all together and give them a funny name in an attempt to minimize the collective impact of the facts.
    And I'll call them incompetent even though I probably couldn't get a job working next to any of them. And deny the fact that it's blindingly obvious they've have gotten a lot done over the years, personally, professionally and politically.

    and then simply not address the contradiction of the globalist use of the 2 ideas.
    and I'll act like that when the UK official (who is member of the globalist WEF) promotes the "free trade" idea FROM the
    globalist WEF, she doesn't mean the same as the "you'll own nothing" Agenda 2030/Great Reset "free trade" FROM the the globalist WEF.
    And then I'll shift the burden back to him and require that he show me the head of the UK publicly stating "you'll own nothing and be happy".
    And pretend that until that happens, then it's not even CLOSE to ever happening or even meant to go in that direction.
