The “Great Reset”, corporatism, Pelagianism, and counterfeit subsidiarity

It appears that the push for President Biden’s Build Back Better (BBB) program is halted with the failure to pass it in Congress and the war in Ukraine taking center stage. However, the rollout of Build a Better America program in his State of the Union address does not mean that the momentum for BBB is gone. The reason is that it is part of the Great Reset movement. The Great Reset is based on certain philosophical and theological principles, and there is no indication that Biden changed his position on these tenets nor is there evidence that support for the Reset is waning.

The Great Reset 

The Great Reset was announced in 2020 by the World Economic Forum. In his June 3rd, 2020 article, “Now is the Time for a ‘Great Reset‘”, WEF founder Klaus Schwab argues that to “achieve a better outcome, the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions.” He then makes an astonishing connection between COVID-19 and his agenda, stating that there are “many reasons to pursue a Great Reset, but the most urgent is COVID-19.” Schwab reiterates this point in his book, COVID-19: The Great Reset:





[T]he possibilities for change and the resulting new order are now unlimited and only bound by our imagination, for better or for worse. … You get the point: we should take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to reimagine our world, in a bid to make it a better and more resilient one as it emerges on the other side of this crisis. (pp. 16-17)

John Kerry confirmed that the White House is committed to this plan at the Nov. 17, 2020 WEF meeting (starts at 27 min mark). Likewise, Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki echoed Schwab’s words in her Oct. 12, 2021 press conference when she stated, “The President wants to make fundamental change in our economy, and he feels coming out of the pandemic is exactly the time to do that.” She then listed off a policy agenda that has nothing to do with the pandemic.

This same tactic was used by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a Great Reset enthusiast. In his Sept 23, 2020 speech, he first discussed the pandemic and then segued into policies unrelated to COVID. Several days later he addressed the United Nations, where he again stated that the response to the virus must entail broad social and economic changes. More recently, he used the truckers’ backlash against the COVID vaccine mandates to suppress free speech and property rights to bank accounts. It wasn’t until Canadian banks complained of massive withdrawals that Trudeau rescinded the Emergencies Act.

The phrase “Build Back Better” is frequently used by the WEF and is tied to the Great Reset. In fact, an April 3, 2020 article by the WEF is entitled, “How to build back better after COVID-19”. Justin Trudeau explicitly uses the phrase in connection with the Reset in a Sept. 29, 2020 UN videoconference. (A longer version of the clip can we seen here.)
