Klaus Schwab, 87, announced he is stepping down from the helm of the World Economic Forum. Schwab’s departure is symbolic—a signal that the elite agenda of top-down control, championed under the guise of “stakeholder capitalism,” is starting to unravel. The Build Back Better nations will continue to push for Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset that will inevitably end in failure, but this is the first crack in the dam.

His successor has yet to be appointed, but last year he handed over some of his executive duties to Borge Brende. Brende is a Norwegian politician, former trade minister, and former minister of foreign affairs. He formerly advocated for China, the US, and India, the “Group of Three” as he has deemed them, to step up and take on WEF initiatives in hopes that the rest of the world would follow. Good luck with that happening with the current state of geopolitics.

“What is essential now after the turmoil of the last months, is to recover our sense of mission,” Schwab told the Financial Times without specifying. Schwab himself has admitted that his agenda is failing. The appointment of Donald Trump was a huge knock to the WEF. Trump certainly is not supporting an agenda that includes allowing an unelected tribune to overthrow the US as the world’s leading superpower. Trump signed an executive order outlawing the creation of CBDC. Schwab was relying on the dollar moving on the grid, creating a cashless society that could be tracked and controlled.

Schwab also lost a few of his favorite puppets like Boris Johnson and Justin Trudeau. Nations are beginning to abandon the World Health Organization, and Tedros has less power. No one cares about Greta Thunberg and the countless “end of times” messages spouted out by the climate zealots. The entire premise of ongoing pandemics is fading as the people are unlikely to fall for that scam twice. Bill Gates has even fled to Europe, the strongest remaining frontier for the Great Reset.

Look around at how these globalist policies are going thus far. Europe is in economic decline, largely due to these utopian policies like Net Zero which Schwab and the WEF forcefully endorsed. Germany, once the engine of the continent, is now declining because ideology was placed above practicality. Energy shortages, deindustrialization, and capital flight—this is the real legacy of Schwab’s vision. Companies have abandoned ESG initiatives, with even BlackRock’s Larry Fink coming out and stating stakeholder capitalism and ESG policies have failed.

I said in 2021, “It would not surprise me if we start seeing the WEF itself under siege.” The people have woken up. “You will own nothing and be happy,” has become a very well-known phrase as the masses have begun to pay attention to the plans outlined in Agenda 2030. They believed that the people, the plebian Great Unwashed, would be too stupid to understand their plot. Instead, the people are voting against globalist policies and authoritarian governments.

Now that he’s stepping aside, do not mistake this for a surrender. The globalists are still keen on forming a one-world government. The infrastructure he helped build remains. The infiltrated cabinets, the think tanks, and the NGOs are still pushing the same agenda. The tide is turning because the economic policies they’ve promoted simply do not work.
