The Great Reset Roadmap

The global political ruling class has released a document that plainly lays out the roadmap for the Great Reset aka Build Back Better agenda.

  

Here is the cover page for the G20 Action Plan on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and G20 Development Commitments and here is a link to the entire document should you wish to peruse it yourself:

 

 

With both Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab being in attendance, you can assure yourself that their requirements for the Great Reset have been included in the 2022 edition of our collective roadmap for the future.  Let's look at some key excerpts, keeping in mind that "sustainable development" plays a key role in the future.  In case you have forgotten, here is a graphic showing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which forms the foundation for the Great Reset roadmap:

 


...and a video which briefly outlines the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development:

 

 

Here is a quote from the document showing how this document is rebranding the Great Reset which has not particularly been well received by thinking serfs:

 

"Recover Together, Recover Stronger: Reaffirming Global Partnership and Reinvigorating Multilateralism in Fostering Recovery and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development"


Here are some of their plans for our collective futures (my bolds throughout) by subject matter:

 

1.) Environment (page 21 and 22) which includes behavioural modification for the serf class:

 

a.) Support scaling up sustainable finance for protecting, conserving, sustainably using and restoring all ecosystems, such as but not limited to surface and ground water wetlands including peatlands and mangroves, coral reefs, forest, marine and other unique ecosystems with close cooperation and collaboration with the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group and the Finance track of the G20, and call for additional progress in addressing the priority actions identified in the G20 Sustainable Finance Roadmap for stepping up G20-led efforts concerning finance for nature, biodiversity, circular economy and resource efficiency, water, sanitation and social issues.

 

b.) Strengthen policies to enhance the participation in sustainable finance of public and private financial institutions, including multilateral development banks (MDBs), and other relevant public and private institutions.

 

c.) Highlight the role of fiscal policies that can play as an effective instrument to foster behavioral changes in businesses and consumers for steering the economy on the whole towards greater sustainability, leaving no one behind and encourage initiatives to scale up and maximize these instruments, including through international partnerships among countries to finance land protection, conservation, sustainable management and restoration programs and projects.

 

2.) Digital Economy (page 23) noting that the digital economy is key to the implementation of CBDCs, digital identities and ultimately control over the serf class:

 

a.) Acknowledged the role of digital connectivity as an essential enabler of digital inclusion and digital transformation and recognized the need to protect digital infrastructure. It demonstrated the complex interplay between digital connectivity and the social context within which the technology is embedded for expanding connectivity through the provision of policy and regulatory frameworks to support the achievement of the SDGs.

 

b.) Foster the discussion on enabling digital identity systems to harness the benefits of the digital economy.

  

3.) Agriculture (page 24) noting that Bill Gates, the world's foremost clean hands, non-farmer farmer and a very heavy promoter of technological advances in agriculture that will ultimately benefit him:

 

a.) Committed to step up efforts to enhance sustainable agriculture and food systems and highlight the fundamental priority of safeguarding food security and the importance of both adaptation and mitigation for climate resilient agriculture.

 

b.) Acknowledge the role of digital technologies in promoting sustainable agriculture and food systems, and therefore supports a G20 digital food and agriculture knowledge-sharing product (through report or website).

 

4.) Energy/Energy Transition (pages 29 and 30):

 

a.) Sets out voluntary multiyear actions to get on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and lays pathways towards net zero emissions or carbon neutrality according to national circumstances--in line with the principles of clean, sustainable, just, affordable, and inclusive transitions.

 

b.) Increase International cooperation in technological solutions through reducing emissions, including in the power and energy-intensive (hard-to-abate) industries & sectors. This technology improvement must be supported by funding, innovation, and Research, Development, Demonstration, Dissemination & Deployment (RDDD&D) in maximizing the available technology and integrating it with the next generation technology.

 

At the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting back in February 2022 and which was reaffirmed in this roadmap, this was discussed as quoted in the roadmap:

 

"Recognize that policy mix toward carbon neutrality and net zero should include a full range of fiscal, market and regulatory mechanisms including, if appropriate, the use of carbon pricing mechanisms and incentives, and phase out and rationalize, over the medium term, inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption and commit to achieve this objective, while providing targeted support to the poorest and most vulnerable, and in line with national circumstances. Recognize that G20 Finance Track policy dialogue on the macroeconomic and fiscal impact of climate change policies could benefit from further technical work.

  

5.) Trade and Investment (pages 29 and 30):

 

Ensure trade and environment policies are mutually supportive, consistent with WTO and multilateral environmental agreements and should allow for the optimal use of the world's resources as a contribution to accelerating progress towards the achievement of SDGs, including on affordable and clean energy, on industry, innovation and infrastructure, on sustainable consumption and climate actions, life below water, and life on land.

 

6.) Climate and Green Finance (pages 36 and 37):

 

a.) Reiterate that our policy mix toward carbon neutrality and net zero should include a full range of fiscal, market and regulatory mechanisms including, as appropriate, the use of carbon pricing and non-pricing mechanisms and incentives, and phase out and rationalize, over the medium term, inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption and commit to achieve this objective, while providing targeted support to the poorest and most vulnerable, and in line with national circumstances.

 

b.) Recognize the challenges faced by many developing countries in accessing finance and technology for that purpose. In this regard, urge the fulfilment of the commitment made by developed countries, to the goal of mobilizing jointly USD 100 billion in climate finance per year by 2020 and annually through to 2025 to address the needs of developing countries, in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation.

 

7.) Global Health (pages 37 and 38) recalling the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's funding of the World Health Organization and a myriad of other health-related NGOs and well as his deep affection for all things vaccine-related and the move toward digital vaccine passports during the COVID-19 pandemic:

 

a.) Commit to nurturing under WHO coordination an ecosystem of manufacturing and research and development, which encourages strong collaboration between academia, government, research institutions, civil society, philanthropic foundations, international organizations, and private entities as well as acknowledge the importance of public-private partnership, technology transfer, and knowledge sharing on voluntary and mutually agreed terms.

 

b.) Acknowledge the importance of shared technical standards to facilitate seamless international travel, interoperability, and recognizing digital and non-digital solutions aligned with countries’ relevant legal provisions including those used for COVID-19 proof of vaccination or verification of tests as well as the IHR (2005) which provide an overarching legal framework for addressing public health emergencies that have the potential to cross borders.

 

c.) Endeavour to move towards interoperability of systems including mechanisms that validate proof of vaccination, whilst respecting the sovereignty of national health policies, and relevant national regulations such as personal data protection and data-sharing.

 

b.) Support science to shorten the cycle for the development, manufacturing, and distribution of safe and effective VTDs, with the ambition to develop VTDs (vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics) from 300 to 100 days in the long term acknowledging the differences in challenges to develop vaccines compared to therapeutics and diagnostics, following the identification of such threats while maintaining strong regulatory oversight and public confidence, and work to make them affordable and widely available.

 

Just in case you thought that they may have forgotten, the meeting covered this very important topic:

 

"Strengthening financial resilience, including monitoring and discuss the risks associated with volatile international capital flows, discuss the drivers of currency usage in trade and finance as well as developing local currency capital markets, and discuss macro-financial implications of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) for the international monetary and financial system."


Let's close this posting with a screen capture of the G20 Bali Leaders' Declaration as found on the White House website, showing the world how the Biden Administration has bought into the Great Reset roadmap:





 

I believe that is enough to digest for this posting.  At the 2022 G20 meeting, the most influential members of the  global aristocracy has succinctly outlined its roadmap for our futures and the dystopia that we will face if they are enacted.  Our only hope is that there is a "Great Awakening" and that the majority of human beings realize that this systemic restructuring is in the best interest of a very small percentage of the world's inhabitants and not being undertaken with the best interests of the vast majority of humanity.

 

In closing and just so you are aware of how this group of influential individuals pays little attention to detail, here is a screen cap showing one of two misspellings of "geopolitical" in their document:

 

If they can't even use a spell checker, why would we trust them with the entire globe?

The G20 and the Move Towards a Global Digital Identity

To almost no fanfare, in early August 2021, the G20 Ministerial Meeting on digitalization was held in Trieste, Italy as shown here:

 

For those of you that are less familiar with the G20, the group consists of Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the UK, and the US along with the European Union.


Let's open this posting with this promotional video for the Digital Ministers' Meeting:



Here is another video showing the arrival of the VIPs noting the on again, off again use of face masks and personal distancing as shown here:



The meeting was organized into two work streams; the digital economy and digital government.  Here is a quote from the pre-meeting press release with my bold:

  

"In the latter area (the digital economy), the discussion will primarily focus on the role of digital identity as a tool to provide citizens with both a secure identification method and a trustworthy access to digital services. Secure and privacy-compliant digital identity solutions facilitate the continuous and reliable delivery of public services and unlock full participation in society. In addition, the Italian Presidency has encouraged information sharing among Members by mapping best practices showing how governments can transform themselves and make the most of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and data, to better serve the economy and society."

  

Remember that; a digital identity will allow citizens to "unlock full participation in society".  

 

Now, let's look at the post-meeting press release:

 

"...Ministers recognized their responsibility to work together to increase the overall positive effects of digitalisation, building on common objectives and converging on action principles as a means to accelerate the digital transformation and reflect on how to reap its benefits, while addressing the challenges ahead."

 

The G20 Digital Ministers signed a Declaration which identifies 12 actions to accelerate the transition to a digital economy.  Here is the cover page of the Declaration:

 

You will note that the Digital Ministers invoked the COVID-19 crisis as one of the key reasons why there is a need for a digitalization of the economy:

 

"Building on the achievements and commitments of past Presidencies and acknowledging the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the economy, employment, and the wellbeing of our societies, we discussed how to embrace opportunities and address challenges and risks to further leverage the potential of digitalisation for a resilient, strong, sustainable and inclusive recovery, while tackling inequalities....

 

The pandemic has highlighted the benefits of digitalisation for the economy and the society: to support employment, health and education (People), to contribute to sustainability (Planet) and to enable the economic resilience of businesses (Prosperity)."

 

Here are the key aspects of the declaration with my bolds throughout:

  

"1.) Digital Transformation in Production for Sustainable Growth. Ministers commit to leveraging digitalisation for an economic recovery that intends to be resilient, strong, sustainable and inclusive, in the three dimensions of “people, planet and prosperity”, leaving no one behind. Ministers recognise that companies have to be prepared for the “new normal” and for further technological shifts, in order to cope with future challenges towards a sustainable, open, shared and more innovative economy. They acknowledge that there is a need to increase efforts on developing a human-centered approach to digital economy that also takes into account the needs and perspective of traditionally vulnerable groups. Ministers therefore commit to take action towards reinforcing industrial policies and international cooperation for the digital transformation of production for sustainable growth, in a way beneficial to all.

 

ii.) Leveraging Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence for MSME Inclusiveness and Promotion of Startups. Ministers reaffirm their willingness to implement trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI). They acknowledge the need to bolster the AI capabilities of MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises), including their capability to use data, access finance, share opportunities, and build a talented and skilled workforce.

 

iii.) Measurement, Practice and Impact of the Digital Economy. To support an inclusive and multi-stakeholder dialogue on measurement, Ministers affirm that the 2020 Roadmap can help ensure that measurement of the digital economy remains a priority in G20 countries and in International Organisations, and that adequate resources are devoted to its implementation. They value the contribution of sharing good practices, also in relation to monitoring digital economy developments beyond the G20 itself, especially with regard to the measurement of AI and the digital gender divide.

  

iv.) Consumers Awareness and Protection in the Global Digital Economy. Ministers commit to take action to raise awareness, educate and support consumers, including through digital literacy programs, with the aim of preventing the detriment of consumers and ensuring consumer protection regarding product quality and safety, privacy and personal data protection, and unfair commercial practices, with particular consideration for vulnerable consumers. They also stress the need to promote stronger international cooperation, including between consumer protection authorities. Furthermore, the Presidency opened the dialogue on distributed ledger technologies, such as blockchain, and produced a G20 Report on Blockchain in Global Value Chains to increase knowledge on transparency and accountability of products for the benefit of consumers.

  

v.) Child Protection and Empowerment in the Digital Environment. Ministers are pleased to include the protection and empowerment of children in the digital environment, for the first time, among the priorities of the G20 Digital Economy. They stress theshared responsibility of different stakeholders, especially the providers of digital services and products, in creating a digital environment that both empowers and protects children. To promote a safe, secure, inclusive, transparent and beneficial digital environment for children, centered around age-appropriate and high-quality online content, Ministers are guided by the G20 High Level Principles on child protection and empowerment, drawn from the OECD Recommendation, which can be instrumental to guide policies.

 

vi.) Encourage Innovation for Smart Cities and Communities. Ministers welcome the Italian Presidency’s Report of G20 Practices of Innovative Public Procurement for Smart Cities and Communities, as a tool to increase and share knowledge.

 

vii.) Connectivity and Social Inclusion. Ministers affirm their commitment to bridge connectivity gaps, and encourage the goal of promoting universal and affordable access to connectivity for all by 2025. They believe that enhanced collaboration and exchange of practices at international level and interaction with stakeholders can contribute to our connectivity and social inclusion goals.

 

viii.) Data Free Flow with Trust and Cross-border Data Flows. Building upon and recognising the work and achievements of the Japanese and Saudi Presidencies, Ministers acknowledge the work of the OECD on Mapping Commonalities in Regulatory Approaches to Cross-border Data Transfers, which identifies “commonalities, complementarities and elements of convergence” across different approaches. Such commonalities can foster future interoperability.

 

2.) Digital Government:

 

ix.) Digital Tools for Public Services and Their Continuity. Moving from the 2018 G20 Digital Government Principles, developed under the Argentine Presidency, Ministers focused on how to guide and improve the digitalisation of public services to better meet the needs of citizens. They therefore commit to pursue and ensure the quality, diffusion and accessibility of digital public services, and to foster better skills for civil servants.

 

x.) Digital identity. The importance of easily usable, reliable, secure, trusted, and portable digital identity solutions is recognised as a means to guarantee secure access to digital services to citizens and businesses, protecting their privacy. Reference is also made to the potential of digital identity in emergency and humanitarian aid contexts. 

 

xi.) Agile Regulation. The role of agile regulation in fostering innovation and economic growth, as well as in controlling and preventing possible negative impacts of technological progress on society and on the planet is acknowledged. The contribution of the Survey on agile regulation across G20 Members is welcomed as a useful tool to share experiences and common approaches to more agile governance and regulatory models for innovation.

 

Under the newly signed declaration, transformation of the task force into a permanent Working Group will take place. Ministers commit to continue working towards digitalization for resilient, strong, sustainable and inclusive recovery while tackling inequalities. In this regard they welcome the transformation of the Digital Economy Task Force (DETF) into a Digital Economy Working Group (DEWG)."

 

A good portion of this declaration reflects the World Economic Forum's technocratic vision for the future

 

Given the move by several governments to implement a digital identity with step one being the issuance of a vaccine/immunity/health passport, let's focus on the G20's vision of a digital identity.  Here's more of what they had to say with bolds being mine:

 

"We acknowledge that easily usable, reliable, secure, trusted, and portable digital identity solutions that guarantee privacy and the protection of personal data, could enable G20 Member States to meet the needs and expectations of public and private sector users and, for example, they could improve accessibility to social benefits, however provided. We note that during the pandemic, the domestic adoption of digital identity to support access to both public and private sector services has accelerated. We support technical solutions that are based on the users’ freely given, specific, and informed consent, and protect citizens’ privacy and personal data, within the domestically applicable legal frameworks. We recognise that receiving government services by means of digital identity should not completely replace other means of accessing services, in order for citizens to meaningfully consent to the use of digital identity. While connectivity remains the main enabler, we recognise the potential contribution that digital identity solutions may have in supporting countries in the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal Target 16.9: “to provide legal identity for all”.

 

We welcome the opportunity to support international dialogue on digital identity by sharing practices, including through the G20 Collection of Digital Identity practices, developed in collaboration with the OECD, and gathering experiences of interoperable, portable and reusable digital identity as a tool that can transform the capacity of citizens to timely access the benefits and services they are entitled to.

 

We believe that such a learning exercise could provide useful insights to the development and improvement of national e-ID schemes, and contribute to future discussions to encourage harmonising digital identity standards and regulations as a key to achieve interoperability between different platforms and frameworks with appropriate data protection to prioritise users’ privacy. We will pursue further work to find technology solutions that are suitable in internet-scarce settings including in humanitarian and emergency scenarios to provide a digital identity."


Like so many of these programs, a global legal identity for all sounds wonderful on the surface but don't scratch too hard or you may find that you are disappointed by how the implementation of a digital identity turns out in the end.  Given that the United Nations is involved, the use of a global legal identity fits in well with their plans for a global parliamentary system.

 

Let's close this posting with a video which summarizes the decision made regarding the transition from a task force studying the idea of a digital economy with one of the pillars being a digital identity (aka a digital green certificate) which is stated as being an imperative:

 


Now that you have learned more about the background movement to a digital identification/digital green certificate by a group of the world's most influential nations, you may have a better understanding of the haste to implement a vaccine/immunity passport, the first step of many to implementing an all-encompassing digital identification which, as we know, will give government access to all of our information.  As is becoming apparent, governments including Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom are using digital identification as a means by  which people that have made a personal choice not to be vaccinated with one of the experimental vaccines are excluded from many of life's activities, creating a COVID-19 apartheid system.  As I noted above, the G20 states that a digital identity. will allow citizens to "unlock full participation in society". The current reality could not be further from the truth but then what should we expect from governments that have become addicted to their unfettered powers that they have granted to themselves as part of their toolkit to battle a pandemic that has an infection fatality rate that is not all that dissimilar from the infection fatality rate of seasonal influenza.


But then again, when have governments ever let a perfectly good crisis go to waste?
