If you have had enough of COVID lockdowns and wearing masks that don’t make a difference, then get prepared for yet another onslaught against individual liberty – the “Build Back Better” mantra being used worldwide, and in the Biden ranks for our own country.
Those who are aware of Agenda 21 and the move toward global governance may have seen this already. If you don’t know about Agenda 21 (now Agenda 2030), here’s a good place to start for an overview (Agenda 21 in One Easy Lesson). You’ll see that much has taken place already.
In the move toward worldwide socialism/communism, the United Nations (UN) began the transition in 1987 with Maurice Strong and “Sustainable Development” and “The Wildlands Project”. “Sustainability” was defined at that time by what is “not” sustainable: Private property ownership, fossil fuels, high meat intake, privately owned cars, air conditioning, logging, dams, grazing of livestock, and more. The tool to be used to get there: Global cooling, er, global warming, now “climate change” since the earth cools and warms cyclically.
With the COVID shutdowns, a new opportunity to push the agenda forward more quickly (they have less than 10 years to accomplish their ultimate goal (thus Agenda 2030), they are not letting a “good crisis go to waste”. So the “Green New Deal” has arisen, using so-called “Climate Change” as the reason, and planning for the “Great Reset”, which is embodied in the term “Build Back Better”.
In an article for The Hill by Justin Haskins, the “great reset” was introduced in a virtual meeting earlier in June 2020 hosted by the World Economic Forum, some of the planet’s most powerful business leaders, government officials and activists where they announced a proposal to “reset” the global economy. He states: “Instead of traditional capitalism, the high-profile group said the world should adopt more socialistic policies, such as wealth taxes, additional regulations and massive Green New Deal-like government programs.”
“Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed,” wrote Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, in an article published on WEF’s website. “In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”
“Build Back Better” is actually a United Nations invented phrase and what it actually means is more world government, more green taxes and regulation, more expensive energy, more identity politics, more corporatism — and, of course, less freedom and entrepreneurialism.
Here are some recent examples:
In a speech on April 23, 2020, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated: “Looking ahead, we need to build back better. The Sustainable Development Goals — which are underpinned by human rights — provide the framework for more inclusive and sustainable economies and societies.” And the UN is using children to accomplish their goals of worldwide government.
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Building Back Better: why we must think of the next generation, states that “The recovery must also respect the rights of future generations, enhancing climate action aiming at carbon neutrality by 2050 and protecting biodiversity.”
The UN is working hard through its “Children’s Environmental Rights Initiative” to grant children the power over adults to achieve its goals: “Already, youth are way ahead of their elders when it comes to protecting the planet. Now, a generation of young people will have seen first-hand the impacts of a truly global crisis. For the youth voices anxious about the climate emergency, the pandemic may well only harden their resolve… If youth attitudes continue to solidify over environmental action because of the pandemic, the adults may not have a choice.
As David Boyd, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and the environment, notes, “Millions of children and youth across the planet are calling for change. The children have spoken. Now the adults must act.”
The World Economic Forum (WEF) states that: “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.”
The World Economic Forum, in its Davos Manifesto 2020: The Universal Purpose of a Company in the Fourth Industrial Revolution seeks to implement Agenda 21/2030 and Sustainable Development into a new business model, called “stakeholder capitalism”. From their website: “Business leaders now have an incredible opportunity. By giving stakeholder capitalism concrete meaning, they can move beyond their legal obligations and uphold their duty to society. They can bring the world closer to achieving shared goals, such as those outlined in the Paris climate agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda. If they really want to leave their mark on the world, there is no alternative.”
The website goes on to say: “A company that has a multinational scope of activities not only serves all those stakeholders who are directly engaged, but acts itself as a stakeholder – together with governments and civil society – of our global future. Corporate global citizenship requires a company to harness its core competencies, its entrepreneurship, skills and relevant resources in collaborative efforts with other companies and stakeholders to improve the state of the world.”
Where is the “great reset” headed? To utopia? Read the article from the World Economic Forum’s website: “Here’s How Life Could Change in my city by the year 2030” (That’s the same year Agenda 21/2030 has in mind for completion of its goals.) Own nothing. No privacy. Life ‘has never been better’. Sound like a science fiction novel? Be very aware that this is a plan for your life. Is this what you want?
In their own words, here are “8 predictions for the world in 2030” by “imagining the societies of tomorrow,” including individuals not owning anything; a global tax on carbon; US dominance is over; very few hospitals; bio-printed organs; eating less meat (it’s a treat, not a staple); economic integration of Syrian refugees; reduction of Western values; moving humans toward Mars.
President Trump has stood in the way of the implementation of these globalist goals, standing instead for “America first”, religious freedom and individual liberty and responsibility. When he spoke at the WEF’s annual gathering in 2020, he explained how the U.S. has prospered by maintaining a free society. George Soros, in a speech to the World Economic Forum, talked about how President Trump is a “danger to the world”, saying, “”Clearly, I consider the Trump administration a danger to the world,” Soros said at a World Economic Forum event. “But I regard it as a purely temporary phenomenon that will disappear in 2020, or even sooner. I give President Trump credit for motivating his core supporters brilliantly, but for every core supporter, he has created a greater number of core opponents who are equally strongly motivated. That is why I expect a Democratic landslide in 2018.””
Watch it here:
If Biden becomes president, he will support the UN, embrace globalism and the UN’s goals toward world socialism/communism.
It is important to understand the overlay of all that is taking place in our society, for better or for worse. We have moved away from the nation envisioned by our Founding Fathers, built on Judeo-Christian principles. Public schools are teaching children to think in terms of “groupism” rather than individualism; of being “global citizens” rather than on an individual nation; and that “socialism” is a good way of life. To continue down the path toward socialism/communism takes doing nothing – just let it happen. The more difficult task ahead – if we want to retain individual freedom, the right to own property, the right to worship God as we see fit, the right to raise our children instead of the state raising them, the rights of are God-given, not state granted – is to stand against the flow and speak, educate, and vote. Will you take the easier, softer way which leads to servitude of the state? The choice is yours.

Other sectors and how they are incorporating the “build back better” slogan:
UNEP financial arm: …how the banking sector can ensure financial inclusion is not forgotten as economies recover from the crisis and build back better.
We Mean Business Coalition. Global companies join the bandwagon.
They list ‘The businesses urging governments to build back better from COVID-19′
Local government authorities join in. Press release from Invest in Manchester.
This week, in partnership with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, The Greater Manchester Local Enterprise Partnership has launched the ‘Build Back Better’ campaign – an initiative which sets out to build back the economy and create a better opportunity for a strong and successful recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
U.S. World Resources Institute:
Governments and others will spend trillions of dollars responding to the effects of the coronavirus. Rebuilding the old-fashioned way — by investing in fossil fuel-driven growth that threatens human health and exacerbates inequality — is a dangerous proposition. Future prosperity demands that countries build back better. To build back better, countries must harness low-carbon investment opportunities to reboot economies while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution that jeopardize lives.
Australia: “How Australia can ‘build back better’ after coronavirus”
Friends of the Earth, Europe “EU Council: Governments must act together to ‘build back better’”
Africa Africa can build back better after Covid-19. Our guiding frameworks for a better, more sustainable recovery are the Sustainable Development Agenda and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
The phrase has been knocking around for a while. Here is the UN using it in 2017 in the context of disaster recovery:
Disaster impacted countries and communities are oftentimes much better equipped to Build Back Better during the extended period of recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction when they have taken actions to strengthen recovery capacity and decision-making effectiveness prior to the onset of disaster.
Apparently it now also embraces identity politics – and a feminist green new deal. “Building back better requires building back differently. We need a ‘rainbow recovery’.”
Here’s the BBC, in a report accompanied by solar panels stretching as far as the eye can see, with a link that says, somewhat ironically, “Our Planet Matters”.
