Want to know how Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset is going to work out? Take a look at Sri Lanka. People there own nothing, but, boy, are they unhappy about it.
Purely by coincidence, I’m sure, the architect of the policies which have pushed the Jewelled Isle to economic and agricultural collapse, is a wunderkind of Herr Schwab’s World Economic Forum.
Also purely coincidentally, I’m just as sure, the WEF has suddenly deleted its past bragging about how its graduate was going to make Sri Lanka “rich by 2025”.
Why? Sri Lanka was a poster child for the policies espoused by the WEF: green, organic and centrally-planned.
The WEF appears to have deleted an article dated August 29, 2018 from Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, “This is how I will make my country rich by 2025.”
I wonder why the WEF is suddenly so keen to distance itself from the policies it promoted for Sri Lanka?
“We have also played a constructive role in promoting international and regional initiatives in many areas, ranging from the environment and climate change to maritime security and migration. It is our commitment to use the strategic potential of the country, including its vibrant maritime connectivity, for enhancing friendly cooperation with all partners while reaping the economic benefits for all our peoples.”
As I write, all their people have spent the last few days storming government buildings, in part in an attempt to stop the architects of their misery from fleeing the country with suitcases full of cash.
While Bond villain Klaus is rapidly scrubbing his browser history, his lickspittles in the legacy media are doing their best not to report just why Sri Lanka is so deep in the elephant poo. Australia’s taxpayer-funded broadcaster runs regular articles on its crisis — and almost never mentions the organic fiasco.
As lengthy and comprehensive as an explainer from Reuters may seem, there is still very little about the disastrous “green” policies, with more of an emphasis on “economic mismanagement” and how leaders stalled talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
“Anti-government protesters angry over power blackouts, shortages of basic goods and rising prices have long demanded that [President Gotabaya] Rajapaksa steps down,” the explainer reads at one point. It fails to delve into why such blackouts occurred though, which are already coming to the United States, especially in the case of deeply liberal California, which Gov. Gavin Newsom has sought to turn into a progressive oasis of sorts but has really become more of a wasteland.

Blackouts? Food shortages? Detached elites screwing up their countries?
Is any of this sounding just a teensy bit familiar?
Don’t worry — it’s for the good of the planet, ok?
