ar self-styled “global elites:”
No doubt, should this missive ever come to your attention, you will simply
dismiss me as a “conspiracy theorist.” But no theorizing is necessary when
the conspirators keep admitting to it, repeatedly speaking the quiet part out
loud.
Your creepy Bond-villain in chief, Klaus Schwab, Chairman of the World
Economic Forum, has openly called for “permanent interaction between
governments and regulatory agencies on the one hand, and business on the
other”—in other words, for a kind of global fascism 2.0. Meanwhile,
Schwab’s oily henchman, Yuval Harari, asserts that “human rights exist
only in the imagination.”
One needn’t be a prophet to see where this is heading.
Not only are you not trying to hide your agenda, you’re obviously quite
proud of it. As another of your number said in a speech at Davos in 2022,
“The good news is that the elites across the world trust each other more
and more. So we can come together and design and do beautiful things
together. The bad news is that…the majority of people trust their elites
less. So we can lead, but if people aren’t following, we’re not going to get
to where we want to go.”
How to respond to this stunning example of tone-deaf arrogance, which I
believe accurately represents the attitude of most “elites” these days—
especially the elitest of the elites, the Davos crowd?
Let’s start with this: You’re right—we are not following. And we have no
intention of doing so, for several reasons.
First, anyone who describes themselves as an “elite” betrays a breathtaking
egotism. They are openly acknowledging that they think themselves better
than the rest of us—smarter, more knowledgeable, morally superior, better
equipped to lead. So we should all just shut up and do as we’re told.
No. We’re not going to do as we’re told. Not by you. We don’t accept that
you know more than we do about anything that matters, and certainly not
about how to live our lives. If we had any doubts—if we ever wondered
whether, after all, maybe your way was best—the last four years have
proven unequivocally otherwise.
Calling your pandemic response “botched” would be the greatest
understatement in history. Everything you told us to do—lock down, mask
up, “socially distance,” offer ourselves as human guinea pigs—not only
didn’t stop the virus but made things exponentially worse. A health crisis
morphed quickly into an economic, social, and political one as well, not to
mention an even worse health crisis.
It wasn’t Covid that did that. It was you, our “global elites.”
Indeed, we have come to realize—and many of us knew all along—that
the severity of the disease was oversold from the beginning. Sure, it was
bad, worse than the seasonal flu, maybe, but not that much worse. It was
nowhere near the mass extinction event you made it out to be. It affected
almost exclusively the elderly, the infirm, and the morbidly obese.
Schools, churches, and businesses could have stayed open all along and it
would have made little or no difference in the course of the pandemic, as
places like Sweden and Florida have shown.
Yet you insisted on keeping us locked in our homes. On keeping our kids
out of school. On covering our faces and shuttering our churches and
bankrupting our businesses. All while holding out hope of a magical
“vaccine.” And when your jabs turned out not to work so well—when it
was obvious they didn’t stop infection or transmission—instead of
admitting you were wrong, you simply doubled down on your failed pre-
jab strategies.
Perhaps, in the beginning, it was just ignorance. You didn’t know what
was going on any more than the rest of us did. Maybe you were just doing
your best to “save mankind.”
Somehow, I doubt it. Evidence that this entire debacle might well be
attributable to your own perfidy and malfeasance argues against that
generous interpretation. So does the fact that you steadfastly refuse to
admit your now obvious mistakes and instead persist in your folly. At the
very least, it is clear that you have exploited this crisis for all it’s worth, in
an attempt to remake the world to your liking—to initiate, as you call it,
“The Great Reset.”
Unfortunately for you, the professor was right: We the people are not on
board. We reject your Great Reset. We reject your vision of the world. We
reject globalism. We have nothing against other countries, but we prefer
our own, warts and all, and we have no intention of surrendering our
national sovereignty to any form of world government.
We reject your multiculturalism. Other cultures may offer much to admire
and emulate, but we have our own culture, thank you, and it suits us just
fine.
We reject your vision of a tightly controlled, centrally planned economy.
We prefer free markets, messy as they are, as the engine for producing the
greatest possible individual liberty, prosperity, and human flourishing.
We reject your nouveau fascism, in which world governments collude with
global corporations, notably Big Tech and Big Pharma, to surveil, harass,
and ultimately control the rest of us. We don’t care if it’s “for our own
good” (although we sincerely doubt it). We’d much rather have self-
governance, the freedom to decide for ourselves what is best for us and our
families.
In short, we reject you, the self-styled elites, the smug sanctimonious
limousine leftists who fly your private jets into Davos then lecture the rest
of us about our “carbon footprint.” We don’t think you’re in any way
smarter or better than us. Indeed, you have proved to our satisfaction that
you are not. We do not trust you. We do not want your “leadership.”
We suspect, based on hard experience, that the “beautiful things” you
intend to “design and do” are not beautiful at all but rather hideous and
loathsome—for us, at least. They may be beautiful for you as they increase
your power, wealth, and influence. But we care about the magnificent
edifice you are constructing for yourselves only to the extent that we wish
to tear it down.
If the past four years have taught us anything, it is that you “elites” are
awful people. Your ideas are awful. Your vision for the future is awful.
The society you wish to create, with yourselves in charge, would be
unspeakably awful. We reject it, and we reject you. So go away and leave
us alone—or else suffer the consequences.
