The Great Reset: Wild new coronavirus conspiracy theory takes hold
This is not a conspiracy theory. It is perfectly mainstream Leftist doctrine. The Left has always wanted to reform everyone else -- by revolution if need be.
The only difference these days is the terminology used: "New world order", “The Great Reset”. etc But it is just new names for socialism
And people are right to see in it a threat to their way of life. That's what Leftism is. Leftists mean to upset existing arrangements
COVID-19 conspiracy theories are rife. While some people question its origins, others outright deny that it exists.
Microchips in vaccines, sovereign citizens, a new world order under the cover of a crisis – the pandemic has been fertile ground for the nurturing and dissemination of conspiracy theories.
Talk of nefarious, underground plans by evil cabals of the elite have spread like, well, a virus.
And now a new theory is doing the rounds. A theory that, depending on what you read, posits that after the pandemic a “fascist” regime will take over that will “enslave” mankind – all with a healthy dose of communism to boot. Naturally, your guns – if you have them – will be taken away.
It’s called “The Great Reset”.
But there’s a novel twist about this theory. Whereas many other conspiracies rely on adherents being persuaded terrible things are happening just out of sight; the Great Reset, by contrast, has its own official website and branding.
Apparently leaders, from Prince Charles to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, just keep talking about it. Time magazine has an entire section of its website dedicated to it.
If it is a plot, it’s the most in the open yet underground, secret plot yet.
Interest in the Great Reset conspiracy theory began to surge in recent weeks following a video featuring Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau giving an online speech to the United Nations where he mentions a “reset” of the economy.
The speech was actually in late September, but has been widely circulated in recent weeks. “This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset,” Mr Trudeau said.
“This is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts, to reimagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality, and climate change.”
Mr Trudeau also spoke of “building back better” by supporting the vulnerable in society and achieving sustainable development goals.
If that slogan seems familiar, it was used by the Biden-Harris presidential campaign with the website claiming it would give “America’s working families the tools, choices, and freedoms that need to build back better.”
In Britain, Mr Johnson has also been sliding in the “building back better” slogan here, there and everywhere. Just last week, Mr Johnson used the hashtag #buildbackbetter in a tweet.
Gavin Newsom's "French Laundry" Outing Crystallizes the Arrogance of the Left
On November 6, when California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) sat down for a fancy dinner party at the tony Napa Valley restaurant The French Laundry, the state was in the midst of a COVID-19 surge. Newsom and other state officials were emphasizing the importance of following social distancing rules and wearing face masks in public places, as mandated by an order that the governor issued in June. They were urging Californians to forgo Thanksgiving dinners and other private social gatherings, which they had identified as an important source of virus transmission.
Yet there was the politician behind those policies, sitting shoulder to shoulder with people outside his household, celebrating the 50th birthday of his friend Jason Kinney, a prominent political strategist. To Newsom's right was Dustin Corcoran, CEO of the California Medical Association (CMA). To the governor's left was CMA [medical] lobbyist Janus Norman. There was not a mask in sight, although state rules required diners to wear face coverings except when they were "actively eating or drinking."
After the dinner party came to light last Friday, Newsom apologized while suggesting there were extenuating circumstances. "It was in Napa, which was in the orange status, relatively loose compared to some other counties," he told reporters on Monday, and "it was to be an outdoor restaurant."
But photos obtained this week by KTTV, the Fox station in Los Angeles, show that Newsom and company were in fact dining indoors, at a table near sliding glass doors the led to a courtyard. According to a witness, the doors were initially open but were closed because the birthday celebrators were making a lot of noise.
"As soon as I sat down at the larger table, I realized it was a little larger group than I had anticipated," Newsom said, "and I made a bad mistake. Instead of sitting down, I should have stood up and walked back, got in my car, and drove back to my house. Instead I chose to sit there with my wife and a number of other couples that were outside the household.
We can quibble about the guidelines, etc., but the spirit of what I'm preaching all the time was contradicted, and I gotta own that. So I want to apologize to you, because I need to preach and practice, not just preach and not practice. And I've done my best to do that. We're all human. We all fall short sometimes."
Please be patient as I "quibble about the guidelines" a little bit. The actions that Newsom presented as violating "the spirit of what I'm preaching" actually violated the letter of the rules he imposed. According to the California Department of Public Health, restaurant patrons "must wear face coverings" unless "they are eating or drinking." Even then, they are allowed to remove their masks only if "they are able to maintain a distance of at least six feet away from persons who are not members of the same household or residence." Newsom broke both of those rules.
As J.D. Tuccille notes, this sort of double standard is par for the course during the COVID-19 epidemic, when politicians such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D–Calif.), Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D), Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney (D), and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D–Calif.) have felt free to flout the disease control safeguards that mere mortals are told to observe. "We're expected to suffer discomfort, economic pain, and emotional distress or else pay fines and even serve jail time," Tuccille writes. "Government officials, meanwhile, take offense when called out for violating the standards they created."
The paper also noted that Newsom's children are attending private school while most public schools remain shuttered. "Newsom and the First Partner eschewed state public health guidelines to dine with friends at a time when the governor has asked families to scale back Thanksgiving plans," the Bee observed. "If the governor can eat out with friends—and if his children can attend their expensive school—why must everyone else sacrifice?"
Consumer Watchdog President Jamie Court said he was "shocked" that the dinner also included top CMA officials. "The message is to forget the pandemic, sit as close as you can, no face coverings, no masks, no social distancing," he told KTTV. "This is the state's medical association. They speak for the doctors in the state, and their chief lobbyist and the president are sitting shoulder to shoulder with the governor as though it's any time in American history."
The 'Scandal' of a Christian Congressman-Elect
You might want to sit down for this. North Carolina Congressman-elect Madison Cawthorn is a Christian. Worse, he has confessed to having “tried to convert Jews and Muslims to Christianity.” And you thought voter fraud was the real problem!
That quote comes from the headline to a story by an intrepid reporter at The Daily Beast (an awfully ironic name given the subject matter). The Beast quotes Cawthorn telling his Jewish Insider interviewer, “If all you are is friends with other Christians, then how are you ever going to lead somebody to Christ? If you’re not wanting to lead somebody to Christ, then you’re probably not really a Christian.”
That’s Evangelism 101, of course, and it’s straight from the Great Commission that Jesus Christ gave his disciples in Matthew 28. Cawthorn began taking this seriously after a terrible car accident several years ago left him paralyzed from the waist down. He doesn’t appear ready to set it aside as the youngest person ever elected to Congress.
But that isn’t our main point here. Nor is the story about how Jewish Insider dishonestly merged some of Cawthorn’s comments to make him seem anti-Semitic. We all know the real congressional anti-Semites reside on the Democrat side of the aisle.
What makes this story newsworthy is actually the Left’s relentless and intolerant proselytizing. It’s one thing for Evangelical Christians to share their faith in the hopes of persuading someone else to accept it. It’s a totally different thing for the Left to silence anyone who does not accept, espouse, and celebrate certain ways of thinking or speaking. You will be made to conform or you will be “canceled.” This is proselytizing by the proverbial sword, and it’s akin to how, well, some Muslims are known to operate.
Moreover, in what do leftists put their faith? We believe humans are created by God to worship Him. When we don’t worship our Creator, we inevitably worship something else. It’s how we’re made.
Leftists — even the radical leftist Christians who often merely serve a god made in their image — ultimately put their greatest faith in government and cultural power. Call it the unification of church and state. Want to know what someone’s idols are? Take them away or challenge them. Want to make leftists hysterically angry? Challenge their power over speech, thought, or government action. Or, worse, win an election.
The Madison Cawthorns of the world are not the problem. That designation belongs to the hateful and intolerant radicals of the Left.

South Dakota’s Governor Just PISSED OFF Every Liberal In America With Thanksgiving AnnouncementAs Democrat tyrants around the country essentially ban their citizens from attending Thanksgiving and, soon Christmas, gathering because muh coronavirus! — Noem is taking the opposite tact, via the Washington Examiner:
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem laid out a ‘common sense’ plan for families to spend time with their loved ones during Thanksgiving amid the coronavirus pandemic.
‘Thanksgiving is around the corner, and across the country families are planning how to celebrate with their loved-ones in the midst of #COVID19,’ Noem said in a lengthy Twitter thread on Friday. ‘In South Dakota, we won’t stop or discourage you from thanking God and spending time together this Thanksgiving.’
Noem continued: ‘Some states across the country are imposing restrictions on Thanksgiving celebrations. Some in the media are even looking ahead and planning to cancel Christmas. I’ll continue to encourage each and every one of you to exercise personal responsibility and make smart choices.’
As you dig in to enjoy that delicious turkey and stuffing, make sure that everyone in your household is practicing good hygiene. Wash your hands. If someone in your family is in the vulnerable population, take extra precautions to keep them safe.
Let’s all take the time to remember what Thanksgiving is all about – thanking God for everything that he has blessed us with in our lives. During difficult times, it’s important to be extra thankful for what we have. (5/)
— Governor Kristi Noem (@govkristinoem) November 20, 2020
The Republican governor then reminded South Dakotans to use ‘common sense’ and suggested families should not visit each other on Thanksgiving if a family member is experiencing symptoms typically associated with the coronavirus.
Noem encouraged residents in her state to reflect on what Thanksgiving is ‘all about.’
‘Let’s all take the time to remember what Thanksgiving is all about — thanking God for everything that he has blessed us with in our lives. During difficult times, it’s important to be extra thankful for what we have,’ Noem tweeted.
In case you were wondering what American-style individual freedom and decision-making look like, those qualities are alive and well in Kristi Noem’s state of South Dakota.
