💭 Very sad! An Oklahoma news anchor suffered a stroke during a live newscast. Anchor Julie Chin says she suddenly lost vision in one eye. Then her arm went numb and her speech became garbled. She says her symptoms came out of nowhere. Her colleagues recognized something was wrong and called 911. The newscaster says tests at the hospital showed she suffered the early stages of a stroke. Chin says “There are still lots of questions, and lots to follow up on, but the bottom line is I should be just fine.”
💭 Guest Stuns Joe Rogan With Details On How World Economic Forum Infiltrates World Governments
Maajid Nawaz told Rogan the World Economic Forum has openly put its members in leadership roles to steer world governments toward ‘more and more authoritarianism.’
In a three-hour interview that was released on Saturday, Nawaz, the founding chairman of Quilliam, a think tank designed to confront Islamist extremism, told Rogan that the WEF has installed its members in national leadership roles around the world to further the organization’s sprawling authoritarian agenda.
Explaining that government leaders worldwide have begun lifting COVID-19 mandates and restrictions while leaving in place an apparatus of digital tracking and identification which forms the embryonic stages of a digital social credit score, Nawaz said that the WEF under Klaus Schwab has worked on “embedding people in government who are subscribed to” the Great Reset agenda.
“That’s what they say themselves,” Nawaz said, pointing out that the so-called Great Reset, whose advocates have famously asserted that by 2030 people will “own nothing and be happy,” is explained in detail on the WEF’s website.
In a 2020 book entitled “Covid-19: The Great Reset,” Schwab openly argued that the COVID-19 response should be used to “revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions.”
Nawaz went on to point out that in 2017 Schwab said the WEF’s “young global leaders” would “penetrate” the cabinets of world leaders.
Members of the WEF’s Forum of Young Global Leaders have included Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, French President Emmanuel Macron, former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, among many others.
Nawaz pointed out that Blair had tried to implement an ID system during the Iraq war, and is now openly moving to implement digital IDs in the post-COVID era.
The WEF has clearly articulated its interest in pursuing a global digital ID system.
“So this is going to be this never-ending process to slowly move the goal-posts,” Rogan surmised.
“Towards more and more authoritarianism,” Nawaz added. “Checkpoint society. It’s all there. They’ve told us this.”

The great narrative for the great reset is about manipulating human behavior to benefit unelected globalist agendas: perspective
The great narrative for the unelected globalists’ great reset agenda is about manipulating human behavior to benefit their own policies that merge corporation and state power while eroding individual rights and liberties.
There isn’t one single great narrative in Klaus Schwab and Thierry Malleret’s book, “The Great Narrative.”
Instead, there are a series of five interconnecting narratives surrounding technology, society, economy, geopolitics/governments, and ecology/climate change.
These narratives are geared towards manipulating human behavior through pride, fear, shame, guilt, and greed in order to coerce private citizens (while incentivizing governments and corporations) into accepting the unelected globalists’ agenda for a great reset of society and the global economy.
“Narratives shape our perceptions, which in turn form our realities and end up influencing our choices and actions” — The Great Narrative, Klaus Schwab & Thierry Malleret, 2022
All solutions in the “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” mindset require public-private collaborations — a closer merger of corporation and state — which blurs the line between elected and unelected decision making over the future of humanity.
First came the great reset launch in June, 2020, which called for new social contracts, stronger governments, and a different form of capitalism that would make stakeholders richer and more powerful while people like you and I would own nothing and be powerless.
Now comes the great narrative for humankind, which is an attempt to legitimize the unelected globalists’ technocratic agenda for a great reset of society and the global economy, and they can do this without ever having to reference any real-world data to back it up.
Why?
Because, “In the battle for hearts and minds of human beings, narrative will consistently outperform data in its ability to influence human thinking and motivate human action,” according to the WEF’s own blog post from 2015, which adds, “A good narrative soundly beats even the best data.”
“In the battle for hearts and minds of human beings, narrative will consistently outperform data in its ability to influence human thinking and motivate human action” — Davos Agenda, 2015
Similarly, Schwab and Malleret’s great narrative book argues, “Narratives shape our perceptions, which in turn form our realities and end up influencing our choices and actions.”
Here, we see two major takeaways for understanding the great narrative for what it is:
The great narrative doesn’t have to be based on any hard data, facts, or truth, but rather an unelected globalist belief system
The purpose of the great narrative is to influence and manipulate human behavior
But what is a great narrative?
The idea of a great narrative is something that the French philosopher Jean-Francois Lyotard called a “grand narrative,” (aka “metanarrative“) which, according to Philo-Notes, “functions to legitimize power, authority, and social customs” — everything that the great reset is trying to achieve.
“A grand narrative functions to legitimize power, authority, and social customs”
Authoritarians use great narratives to legitimize their own power, and they do this by claiming to have knowledge and understanding that speaks to a universal truth.
At the same time, authoritarians use these grand narratives in an “attempt to translate alternative accounts into their own language and to suppress all objections to what they themselves are saying.”
Marxism creates “a society in which all individuals can develop their talents to the fullest” is one example of a grand narrative.
“We must be prepared to change ourselves at the micro level and to have enough selflessness to accept new policies (in the broadest possible sense of the word) at the macro level” — The Great Narrative, Klaus Schwab & Thierry Malleret, 2022
The last paragraph of Schwab and Malleret’s book gives a fair summation of what the unelected globalists are really trying to achieve with their great narrative for their great reset:
“We must be prepared to change ourselves at the micro level and to have enough selflessness to accept new policies (in the broadest possible sense of the word) at the macro level.”
In the broadest possible sense of which word? Change? Micro? Selflessness? Accept? Macro?
“The coming convergence of the physical, digital, and biological worlds [is] the defining feature of the Fourth Industrial Revolution” — The Great Narrative, Klaus Schwab & Thierry Malleret, 2022
To change oneself at the micro level can mean many things, such as changing your mind, beliefs, attitude, behaviors, and values, etc.
One the other hand, it can also mean changing who you are at the biological and physical level through synthetic biology and devices connected the Internet of Bodies (IoB) through technologies emerging from the so-called fourth industrial revolution.
“What the Fourth Industrial Revolution will lead to is a fusion of our physical, our digital, and our biological identities” — Klaus Schwab, 2019

“This is the only thing left that connects me to Islam,” says Merve, showing me her bright red headscarf.
Merve teaches religion to elementary school children in Turkey. She says she used to be a radical believer of Islam.
“Until recently, I would not even shake hands with men,” she tells me in an Istanbul cafe. “But now I do not know whether there is a God or not, and I really do not care.”
In the 16 years that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s party has been in power, the number of religious high schools across Turkey has increased more than tenfold.
He has repeatedly talked of bringing up a pious generation.
But over the past few weeks, politicians and religious clerics here have been discussing whether pious young people have started to move away from religion.
One day, Merve’s life changed when, after waking up very depressed, she cried for hours and decided to pray.
As she prayed, she realised to her shock that she doubted God’s existence. “I thought I would either go crazy or kill myself,” she says. “The next day I realised I had lost my faith.”
She is not alone. One professor has been quoted as saying that more than a dozen female students wearing headscarves have come up to him to declare they are atheists in the past year or so.
But it is not just atheism that students are embracing.
At a workshop in Konya, one of Turkey’s most conservative cities, there have been claims that students at religious high schools are moving towards deism because of what they referred to as “the inconsistencies within Islam”, according to reports in opposition newspapers.
Deism has its roots back in Greek culture. Its followers believe that God exists, but they reject all religions.
While there are no statistics or polls to indicate how widespread this is, anecdotal evidence is enough to worry Turkey’s leaders.
urkey’s top religious cleric, the head of Religious Affairs Directorate Ali Erbas, has also denied the spread of deism and atheism among the country’s conservative youth. “No member of our nation would ever adhere to a such a deviant and void concept,” he said.
Theology professor Hidayet Aybar is also adamant that there is no such shift towards deism.
“Deism rejects Islamic values. It rejects Koran and it rejects the prophet. It rejects heaven and hell, the angels, and reincarnation. These are all pillars of Islam. Deism only accepts the existence of God,” he says.
According to deist philosophy, God created the universe and all its creatures but does not intervene in what has been created, and does not lay out rules or principles.
“I can assure you that there is no such tendency towards deism amongst our conservative youth,” he argues.
Turkey’s only atheism association believes Prof Aybar is wrong about the current trend and claims that even atheist imams exist.
“Here, there are television shows that debate what to do to atheists,” says its spokesman Saner Atik. “Some say they should be killed, that they should be sliced to pieces.”
“It takes a lot of courage to say you are an atheist under these circumstances. There are women in niqabs who secretly confess they are atheists, but they cannot take them off because they are scared of their family or their environment.”
I meet Merve for a second time at home. She greets me without her headscarf. She has decided to let her hair down when she is at home. Even if there are men around.
“The first time I met a man without my headscarf, I felt really awkward,” she tells me. “But now it comes all very naturally. This is who I am now.”
