<h1>#together talks presents: </h1><h1>Is a &#x27;Great Reset&#x27; inevitable? </h1><h2>And to what extent do ‘globalist,’ non-governmental organisations such as WEF, WHO and the Gates Foundation undermine democracy?</h2><h1>Monday 24 October, 7pm</h1><h2><a href="https://g.page/RoyalNationalHotelLondon?share" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Royal National Hotel</a></h2><h2>38-51 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0DG - 7pm</h2><h3></h3><h2><strong>S﻿peakers: </strong></h2><h3>Professor Frank Furedi - Sociologist and Social Commentator </h3><h3>Matt Gubba - Founder, International Liberty Forum</h3><h3>Ben Pile - Independent political researcher, film-maker, writer and blogger</h3><h3>Dr Tara McCormack - Lecturer in International Politics</h3><p></p><h2><strong>Videos messages from:</strong></h2><h3>Nick Hudson - Founder of PANDA, South Africa</h3><h3>Michael Driver - Financier, Author, Political Commentator</h3><p></p><p>Before 2019 very few of us had heard of the <a href="https://www.weforum.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">World Economic Forum</a> (WEF). </p><p>It was founded in 1971 by Klaus Schwab in Davos, Switzerland, claiming to want to forge a &#x27;global village&#x27; where all &#x27;stakeholders&#x27; (participants) could interact on crucial issues (as defined by the WEF).</p><p>Terms like &#x27;multi-stakerism&#x27;, &#x27;interdependence&#x27; &#x27;stakeholder capitalism&#x27; and &#x27;public-private partnerships&#x27; became key terms used by the WEF, often as though they were uncontestable. </p><p><strong>There was no debate in the public square about these concepts or policy ideas. </strong></p><p>In fact, the Public has been conspicuous by its absence - talked about, never engaged with on a level playing field. The WEF was notably an organisation only open to the most wealthy and powerful, the so-called &#x27;global elite&#x27;. </p><p>Davos took place yearly under the auspices of &#x27;business networking&#x27; where keen members would sign up to become WEF &#x27;<a href="https://www.younggloballeaders.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Young Global Leaders</a>&#x27;. </p><p>You will see many familiar and influential names among the alumni, including many current leaders in the West such as Emmanuel Macron, Justin Trudeau, Jacinda Ardern and Matt Hancock.  They are notable for their appetite for going above and beyond with enforced draconian, anti-democratic measures during the Covid era.</p><p>Some now believe that the WEF and other similar organisations present a very real existential threat to the foundations of liberal democracy, championing top down approaches, whether it pertains to covid, climate or any other &#x27;current thing&#x27;. </p><p>In this view, a dystopian elite &#x27;plan&#x27; for the future is laid out in WEF leader Klaus Schwab&#x27;s book &#x27;The Great Reset,&#x27; with the chaos of the Covid situation providing an opportunity to change forever the way we live. </p><p>Others contest that the WEF amounts to a glorified business and ideas conference, an ultra-expensive expedition for those not in touch with the day to day lives of ordinary people. </p><p>But how much influence can and does the WEF and other global organisations have on sovereign nations?</p><p>The Covid situation threw fresh light on organisations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Gates Foundation, with numerous accusations of corruption, incompetence, and oversized influence on media and national governments.</p><p><strong>In a world increasingly informed by fear and anxiety, #together will examine the &#x27;Great Reset&#x27; thesis and the role of non-governmental organisations such as the WHO and Gates Foundation in a considered and rational way.</strong></p><p>We will hear from panelists whose expertise include historical, sociological, political and cultural insights to assess, evaluate and reflect on the role of such organisations and what the implications are for citizens and nations. </p><ul><li>To what extent can ordinary people shape and influence the current landscape? </li><li>How much do ideas influence policy? </li><li>Are &#x27;the shots&#x27; being called from on high or are there justifiable reasons for big ideas to inspire? Is this the role they play? </li><li>How does any citizen based approach that insists on rights and freedoms compete and or inspire others to shape things?</li><li>Is any &#x27;reset&#x27; inevitable?</li></ul><h2>Join us in person to have your say during the audience Q&amp;A.</h2><h3>References and Further Reading </h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Great Reset</a></li><li><a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/now-is-the-time-for-a-great-reset/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Now is the time for a &#x27;great reset&#x27;</a></li><li><a href="https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/oureconomy/conspiracy-theories-aside-there-something-fishy-about-great-reset/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Conspiracy theories aside, there is something fishy about the Great Reset</a></li><li><a href="https://time.com/collection/great-reset/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Time Magazine - The Great Reset</a></li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/COVID-19-Great-Reset-Klaus-Schwab/dp/2940631123" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Great Reset - Book by Klaus Schwab</a></li><li><a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/01/the-fourth-industrial-revolution-what-it-means-and-how-to-respond/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The 4th Industrial Revolution: what it means, how to respond</a></li><li><a href="https://www.weforum.org/press/2022/01/klaus-schwab-releases-the-great-narrative-as-sequel-to-the-great-reset/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Klaus Schwab Releases “The Great Narrative” As Sequel To “The Great Reset”</a></li><li><a href="https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/04/15/the-twilight-of-globalism/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Twilight of Globalism - Spiked Online</a></li><li><a href="https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/09/04/ukraine-and-the-myth-of-a-new-world-order/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ukraine and the myth of a new world order</a></li><li><a href="https://www.spiked-online.com/2018/03/02/the-eu-where-did-it-all-go-wrong/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The EU: where did it all go wrong? - Tara McCormack</a></li><li><a href="https://www.climate-resistance.org/2021/09/is-there-a-plan.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cimate Resistance: Is there a plan? </a></li><li><a href="https://thelibertyforum.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Matt Gubba - The Liberty Forum</a></li></ul><ul><h3></h3></ul><h3></h3><h3></h3>
