Richard Dolan, famous in UFO disclosure circles, has a new video out about The Great Reset. What is The Great Reset? From Wikipedia:
In June 2020, the theme of the January 2021 50th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting was announced as "The Great Reset", connecting both in-person and online global leaders in Davos, Switzerland with a multi-stakeholder network in 400 cities around the world. The Great Reset was also to be the main theme of the WEF's summit in Lucerne in May 2021, which was postponed to 2022. The World Economic Forum generally suggests that a globalised world is best managed by a self-selected coalition of multinational corporations, governments and civil society organizations (CSOs). It sees periods of global instability – such as the financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic – as windows of opportunity to intensify its programmatic efforts. Some critics hence see the Great Reset as a continuation of the World Economic Forum's strategy of focusing on connotated activist topics such as environmental protection and social entrepreneurship to disguise the organization's alleged plutocratic goals.
My opinion, similar to Naomi Klein's, is that this Reset is just business as usual from the Davos crowd. This crowd is a relatively small group of elites who wield disproportional power in the world. Their agenda is clearly one of increasing their own wealth and power with technology, though they describe this agenda in lofty terms of stakeholder economics and environmental sustainability. But conspiracy theories about The Great Reset take simple observations like these and use them as evidence for a global domination plot that includes intentionally creating covid and microchipping everyone.
One reason these conspiracy theories gained so much traction was that they were heavily promoted by the Russian propaganda machine. More and more, working in media, often on the conspiracy side of things, I've come to believe that the Russian propaganda machine is far more influential in alternative media than most people realize. Actually, I'd bet money that this propaganda machine is at least in part behind Daily Mail stories like this one and this one. Watching rehashed Russian propaganda seep into my social media feeds feels surreal. But I digress.
Dolan's video carefully avoided blaming the pandemic on The Great Reset, but it did consider the Reset to be a global transhumanist domination plot with an agenda of totalitarian control over our individual lives. In a sense, Dolan might be right. Our control regime has definitely been exploiting the crises we face to increase its own power at everyone else's expense. Digital vaccine passports are a case in point. They gate access to everyday life while forcing increased dependence on mobile devices and ceding our power of movement to opaque computer systems. These and other hilariously dystopian programs are being rolled out as fast as our control regime can come up with them.
The first 18 minutes of the hour-long video summarized Dolan's view of human history. I found this boring, but nothing he said was too far off. From there, the overall message was that our species has recently entered a period of major transformation, informed by technological advancement, which seems obviously true. The magnitude of this transformation was cited as a reason why various groups of extraterrestrials may be visiting Earth, which I feel neutral about. If UFOs turn out to be physical beings in ships, sure. But none of the evidence of UFOs that I've seen has convinced me that that's what the phenomenon is all about.
At one point, Dolan speculated that ETs all served some grand algorithm, and that the endgame of The Great Reset was to make all of humanity subservient to this algorithm. This part of the video made me wonder if Dolan understood that an algorithm is just a set of instructions. If physical ETs exist, they may very well be beholden to a single set of important instructions. But I sort of doubt that the World Economic Forum is aware of said instructions.
The video's overarching message was that we're all becoming powerless components of vast digital systems. That privacy is disappearing and that human labor is increasingly being performed by machines. That governments will soon be forced by economic conditions to establish Universal Basic Income. The world does appear to be moving in this direction.
Elite conspiracies do exist. So do government conspiracies. They're uncovered all the time and only sometimes make the news. One thing that all of these conspiracies have in common is that their scope is constrained by the capabilities of their perpetrators. Consequently, I think Dolan gives the Davos crowd far too much credit by imagining them capable of carrying out a world domination plot.
Over the years, Dolan has consistently done excellent work on UFO disclosure. This latest video left me feeling like he's become afraid of technological advancement, which was surprising. His apparent belief in a Star Trek universe, filled with benevolent interacting ETs, implies a universe with a technological basis far more advanced than humanity's. Wouldn't it maybe behoove us, then, to chart a course from here to there?
