The Great Reset: And the War for the World

Rate this book
In The Great And the War for the World, the most controversial man on earth Alex Jones gives you a full analysis of The Great Reset, the global elite's international conspiracy to enslave humanity and all life on the planet. If you really want to know what’s happening in the world, this is the one book you must read now. Alex Jones is the most censored man on the planet and you should ask yourself why that is. There is a powerful authoritarian takeover in process that is seeking to capture the entire human system and turn it into an artificial factory farm controlled system. We are in a war for the future of the world. In this book, you will hear from the world’s elites, from their own mouths, what they are planning for you and your families and you will learn what you can do to fight it.From central bankers, corporate billionaires, and corrupted government officials, global elites have been organizing a historic war on humanity under a trans-humanist, scientific dictatorship. Alex Jones was the first major figure to expose the World Economic Forum’s agenda. He has dedicated the last 30 years of his life to studying The Great Reset, conducting tens of thousands of interviews with top-level scientists, politicians, and military officials in order to reverse engineer their secrets and help awaken humanity. The Great And the War for the World chronicles the history of the global elites' rise to power and reveals how they’ve captured the governments of the world and financed The Great Reset to pave the way for The New World Order. Once dubbed a conspiracy theory, but now openly promoted by the most powerful corporations and governments, The Great Reset is a planned attempt to redistribute all the world’s wealth and power into the hands of banks, corporations, billionaires, and The World Economic Forum. If you read one book in a lifetime, this is it. In The Great And the War for the World, you will discover from the self-appointed controllers of the planet in their own words, their plan for what they call the final revolution, or The Great Reset. The only way this corporate fascist conspiracy can succeed is if the people of the world are not aware of it. And this book lays out their sinister blueprint and how to stop it. While many great books have been written to help awaken people to this sinister agenda, no author has ever spent as much time and research on The Great Reset as Alex Jones. The Great And the War for the World is the undisputed trailblazer for understanding what’s happening and how to stop it.

Alex Jones exposes the sinister Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum in this book, and it provides us with an idea of what they really have in store for us. Despite their claims to want a better future for all, it really is a better future for them and digitally controlled imprisonment for the rest of us.

It also highlights how they're manipulating global events, e.g., climate change, covid-19, digital IDs, food shortages, wars, and more to achieve their aims.

As usual, brilliant research and work by Alex Jones.

I'm giving this book 5 stars not because it's amazing but to balance the scales. another reason clearly because the account (q) aka fake conservative anonymous online group. just spam one-star on Christian and conservative books within the same day. who ever owns the account doesn't write reviews. good luck Alex you said a lot of crazy things I might disagree with but everyone deserves the first amendment. God bless. ps i will write a real review once i get a copy and finish it.

Unreadable. Poorly written ranting of an insane dimwit. My copy now lives in a dumpster - I didn’t donate or sell it because I would never inflict that hateful garbage on anyone.

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. Alex Jones takes a deep dive into the minds and plans of the globalist elite. It's hard to question Alex Jones when he literally shows you what the economic and political elites involved with the WEF and Davos group are saying themselves with quotes from books and speeches. This is a real eye opener and a quick way to to be up to date on the facts that expose the mainstream media narrative and political propaganda.

Oh my goodness, this book is so bad. Badly written, badly thought through, badly everything, and written by someone who promulgates conspiracies to a nation of people who think being uneducated is a badge of honour and so believe every cartload of crap he delivers to their minds. I expect he's hoping enough of them will buy it for Christmas so he can pay off his $965 libel damages. I hope they won't. Stick it on the loony shelf next to Mein Kampf.

Absolutely one of the strangest books I’ve ever read but is it stranger than fiction or just plain strange?

“The Great Reset”, by Alex Jones, could be shelved in the science fiction department, at least in my library. It’s not well written, in fact, Jones only wrote about half this book. The other half is a bunch of quotes from people he considers “globalists”, the key players being Klaus Schwab, (who’s quoted ad nauseum), Yuval Harari and an host of others ranging as far back as Jimmy Carter & Zbigniew Brzezinski to Tucker Carlson. Well, maybe not all the quotes are from globalists…

Jones tries to organize his tho’ts by reaching back but he grabs at a biblical example from the book of Samuel of people wanting a king, not just God, to serve and protect them. That came after imaginary tribes from the Ice Age have conversations to solve problems. Even tho’ people die and tribes cease to exist, problems are being solved by talking about them; they are satisfied. Jones bluntly states we are not doing this today. Now, he wants to know who the most well known advocate of the Great Reset might be. Huh? How did we get here? This all happens in the first chapter and in comes Klaus Schwab, Marc Benioff, the Davos Group and the first of many, MANY quotes by Schwab.

This is not a big book. It’s only 227 pages of text without notes and publisher stuff. 40% or more is quotes from others that Alex Jones is using to debunk their claims, prove their dishonesty or further confound. If nothing else, he is consistent and faithful. Jones has been touting the same information with regular updates for 30+ years and has done it independently; kudos for not being owned and beholden. His writing feels like it bounces between conspiracy theories and an honest quest for truth.

Truth for Alex Jones is an interesting mix of his personal faith in God and his interpretation of those he deems globalist’s writings and speeches. After living with this book for 17 hours I’m right where I began this review - unsure if it’s truth stranger than fiction or just plain strange; perhaps a little of both📚


EXTRA NOTE: At the risk of sounding like I’m sounding my own conspiracy theory, this review is one of the many that been targeted by my friends at GR’s parent company. Anytime I attempt to review a book or movie that’s not solidly left of center, (even tho’ I review books from left, center, right or as in this case, outer space), they hold, lose, bury or find some reason not to post my reviews. Today we had a brand new excuse why I couldn’t even submit the review: they had “unusual activity on this title and reviews were being limited to VERIFIED PURCHASES only”. Great. I purchased my book at 03:00 E. S. T. and sent customer service my PO#, picture of the Kindle copy and proof of the full price charge to my Amazon/Chase Visa card. Guess what? It’s not a verified purchase, they won’t or can’t say why and I can’t write a review. Interestingly, while it took 8 hours for this to transact, it only took a nanosecond for them to issue $15.98 credit for the book I didn’t purchase verifiably. So, just for kicks and giggles, I bought another copy and immediately tried to write the review. Guess they were sleeping at the screw me desk because this time it allowed the review to be written. Oh, they didn’t post it. If recent history continues, they will hold the review for 3-5 days, let all the non-reviews post their vitriol and all the vote getting activity die down and then they will bury my review under the detritus. A few months ago I was solidly in the middle of the top 10 of reviewers. Now, I’ve been dropped, notch by notch to #15 as of today. Those being buoyed on the top ten are what we honest reviewers call “5 star cheaters” - these folks collect $$$ for reviews and are paid by PRC companies for 5* reviews only. If they have pictures, they get more $, a video gets more and streaming is the motherload of earning from these dollar store quality products. Paid reviews are supposed to be taboo, not rewarded with status standing. One by one I’ve watched my friends who are good, honest reviewers give up and move on to other pursuits. Being surrounded by blatant cheating, abuse and purposeful manipulation is hard to deal with on a daily basis. Quitting feels like they win but staying is beginning to take more energy than I’m willing to devote; conundrum…📚

I was initially skeptical to read this book, but I kept having it recommended by people whose opinions I trust.
I didn’t finally have an urge to read it until I saw The NY Times censored it off of their best seller list, despite it selling almost double the copies of their #1 best selling book, that caught my interest.

Short and easy read, very concise and to the point. I was surprised there is foot notes and references. I was also surprised it has a little bit of humor, despite the dark and disturbing subject matter. I devoured it because it was short and to the point. SO GOOD! I seriously read it in a day.

Once I finished it, I was so mind blown I had to fact checked all the claims. This was the most surprising part, all his references and citations are REAL, most of which are public documents, government policies and books written by the very people he’s talking about. So not only is what he says in this book true, it’s not even some tin foil hat “grand conspiracy” these people have been openly bragging about their plans for decades and publishing their plans themselves.

It’s so crazy to me that more people don’t see what’s happening. This book is phenomenal. I can’t recommend enough. Anyone whose saying it’s far fetched either didn’t read it or went into this with bias.

TL;DR: Skeptical to read because I don’t like AJ, but did anyway because of the NYT censoring that it’s the #1 best seller in the country. Easy, short read, completely cited and many references in the book. Fact checked everything myself…. All of it is true! Will blow your mind and change your life. I was so wrong about Alex Jones.

I had previously read the books written by Klaus Schwab. I found his writings to be difficult to comprehend. This book reviews his written works to make it understandable.

I was very surprised to see how my dad, got this book for me, as it was out of my price range, so was going to wait for a little while. But, my dad said, “this is a book, everyone is talking about, so I guess I wandered to hear your views on it?”

So, I was thrilled to get it, and read it in an afternoon, not feeling very feel to do anything else, and it was a very easy read.

Still, when I began reading it, I was a little confused, was this really Alex Jones? As, the narrative is very reserved in language and straight to the point, which as people know, is not Alex Jones in person.

Even so, this book is full of very interesting facts and details. A must for anyone to read, wanting to push against the Evil Global Agender. As, the elite can’t hiding their plan from humanity now, called the Great Reset. Hence, we can push back if we unite against them, but even more important is to pray.

Stop snickering and just pick up this book and read it! The WEF and Klaus Schwab have told us exactly what they want to do to all of us. Believe it! See for yourself and read their own words. Stand for Freedom. Down with Globalism.

This is exactly the book you want it to be.

If you are a fan of Alex Jones then you will cheer, sneer, roar and boo along to this book as it reinforces everything you already believe about globalism and the corrupt world of elites, technocrats and wokeism.

If you are one of Alex Jones’ many detractors then this book will confirm your set opinions and enrage you the exact amount you anticipated.

I approached this book as someone who has never seen Alex Jones’ TV shows or podcasts, but was only aware of him in relation to the Sandy Hook defamation trail. It didn’t take this book long to confirm any preconceived notions I may have had. It is a ludicrous mish-mash of barely coherent ideas and wild speculations.

In many ways it brought to mind the kind of angry book report that secondary school teachers have no doubt had to put up with over the years from hormonal teenagers. The pattern is repeated endless, Alex Jones quotes one of his perceived enemies and then asks us to replace the words they have actually said with bad words that Jones has chosen and then invites us to be outraged and disgusted at the ‘true’ meaning of what they are saying.

So, in that spirit I will decode Alex’s conspiracy ladened book. When he refers to the attendee of the Davos World Economic Forum he means the Illuminati and when he says globalists he means our lizard overlords.

So why the 2 stars? They are both for the narrator of the audiobook, who hams up his performance to an epic degree. He wrings every ounce of sarcasm and roaring indignation from the text. The performance is authentic, exhausting and hilariously over the top.

Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations.
—George Carlin

"When one uses the frame of the Samuel story, it becomes clear why many believe the United States to be a divinely ordained nation. Our founding documents clearly place the people as the true masters of our country, if only we act like it. The rulers serve the people, not the other way around.(...) Reset is nothing more than an ancient battle between the forces of freedom and tyranny."
(From Chapter 1 of the book)

Read this the same time I was reading The Stepford Wives. Could not have chosen a better pairing.

One is about a community where the nerdy technical elites want to isolate and murder a large chunk of the population and replace them with servile robots, the other is The Stepford Wives.

My only criticism? the format was not great.

If it was formatted like the Politically Incorrect Guide Series from Regnery Publishing it would have been a lot more interesting.

That said: it is all true. Beware.

The Great Reset: And the War for the World, by Alex Jones, is a very good expose on the plot of globalists to install a totalitarian communist-inspired government to at best enslave and at worst exterminate the great mass of humanity. He meticulously examines and dec-codes the words of leading globalist figures, often quoting them directly at length, to show readers what they believe and what they are attempting to do, and contrasts that with philosophical reflections on a society focused on helping other people. These reflections are often meritorious and serviceable. Consequentially, this book is good learning material about the state of the world and where it might be going.

There are two main flaws. Jones’ praise of the Enlightenment, democracy, and support for classical liberalism runs contrary to how society ought to function, which is under a Catholic state, where all humanity is directed towards worship of Almighty God, which is our duty as a species and on which our salvation, which should be the ultimate goal of our lives, is dependent. Secondly, Jones is a little short at times on the substance of what the globalists intend to do. For example, he casually mentions in the last chapter that globalists have developed technology to insert microchips into people and track people’s heartbeats through a laser, but never goes into detail about steps taken to get there and if and when the plans might be implemented. These are the sorts of things-specific details and concrete data- that were somewhat inadequate in this book. To include it, the book ought to have either been expanded or a way should have been found to trim some of the quotations. Jones also sourced a quotation from Augustine of Hippo to Goodreads, which is sloppy academic work.

Yet this book shall be an important one for our times, and its benefits significantly outweigh its disadvantages.

This book is an excellent and thorough work of investigative journalism. It does not read as a famous/infamous Alex Jones "conspiratorial rant," but instead as a book that soberly exposes the openly published writings and speeches of members of the globalist movement, such as Bill Gates, Yuval Harari, and Klaus Schwab.

Backed by evidence, Alex Jones goes on to discuss the implications of their anti-humanistic ideas. Their objective is to groom the world to reject basic human beliefs and replace them with digitally tracked, androgynous, sexless men and women, babies bred from scientific gene editing, and people who work from the cradle to the grave, provided for by government rations of money, pleasure and social credits.

Though the futute proposed by the globalist movement is daunting, ultimately a simple (not easy, but simple) refutation is offered by which people of the world must speak in truth, celebrate humanity, reject secularist science, and embrace Christ.

Alex jones gets a reputation from the mainstream media who slanders him as an unhinged conspiracy theorist with zero basis in reality. This book isn't that at all. I'd highly recommend this read for anyone willing to take the deep dive into what is really going on in the world behind closed doors (or rather, wide open doors in front of an open secret).

It's time for the truth to have its day.

I made a new friend who said that he liked Alex Jones and thought that everyone should listen to what he has to say. I wanted to say a few choice words about Mr. Jones but when I searched my Alex Jones schema in my old gray matter, I found that my scaffolding was shockingly full of holes. What I did know is that he claimed on his media platforms that the Sandy Hook massacre of twenty-six school children, teachers, and staff never happened, that it was "fake news." He was convicted in a civil suit of defamation and ordered to pay a very large financial penalty ($473M). This factoid certainly doesn't work in favor of Jones in my estimation, but my friend is, in fact, a genius, and he thinks this guy is brilliant so, in an attempt to fill in the holes in my brain, I decided to read Alex Jones' book The Great Reset and the War for the World.

It turns out that Alex Jones is either very paranoid and is offering us a timely warning, or has been misguided by his right-wing leanings (or both). His book is written in the style used in Bible studies as an exegesis of books by other authors. He begins with a detailed discussion of Klaus Schwab's book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution. Klaus Schwab is the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum which sponsors the annual meeting of the wealthy and powerful from around the world in Davos, Switzerland. Jones quotes a section of Schwab's text and then reacts to it. His theory is that these world leaders are up to no good in Switzerland, or whenever they speak together. He sees "globalization" as a danger to ordinary humans. He is talking about global government rather than global trade although he does address global trade later in his book. Jones warns us that world leaders plan to rule over all nations and will destroy all national governments, economies and cultures replacing individuals with essentially human clones. They will do this through surveillance, fear, threats, whatever it takes. They will be free, we won't.

Jones' paranoia extends to the area of vaccines. Vaccines could be used for nefarious purposes. They could be used for mind control. They could be used to control overpopulation. They could just be toxins that are slowly killing us on behalf of the rich and powerful.

He expresses the right-wing paranoia about strategies that are supposed to be designed to improve livability factors that are being challenged by climate change. If climate change is made up or if, as right-wingers contend, humans didn't cause it and nothing we can do will fix it, then perhaps the issue is simply being used, he suggests, as more tactical ammunition for globalists who want to corral us all into cities where we will be easy to spy on and where we can be put to work at menial tasks which limit any time we might have to exercise freedom of thought or action.

Another chapter is dedicated to the messages that environmentalists are putting out about our food. Without nitrogen-based fertilizers, the manufacture of which releases lots of CO2, we will not be able to grow enough food to feed the growing earth population. Bill Gates, for example, has a factory/research center to design plant-based meats that can replace beef, chicken, and pork because all of these animals are sources of methane emission, and contribute more to global warming than things that release CO2 directly. "What if," asks Alex Jones, "even what is going on with our food is part of the global takeover by the wealthy class?" (Not a direct quote). He asks the same question about the supply chain.

We can all tap into this paranoia about what the rich and powerful are up to. We all would like to believe that climate change is a made-up crisis. We may not make millions or billions from fossil fuels as many of the rich and powerful have, but we have kept warm in winter and cool in summer fairly predictably with fossil fuels and we're not sure that alternative energies are up to the job or will offer the same comfort. But we suspect that we cannot trust people in the oil and gas industries to speak the truth in these matters. Those who argue about changing our habits to lessen our CO2 emissions do not seem to have a dog in the fight as the oil and gas people do.

How paranoid should we be? Can we stop these guys from world domination? How would we go about that? Would we be willing to give up our freedom if our creature comforts were protected? Would we be willing to fight for our freedom when we have such a nebulous grasp of what freedom means that we think wearing a mask to protect us from disease is a true risk to our freedom?

Whether you believe Alex Jones's paranoia is justified and an important forewarning of a future we always hoped to defend against or not, this man, with only an associate degree from a community college in Austin, Texas has managed to make a fortune on social media and podcasts and radio, etc., preaching the gospel against globalism and blaming everything bad on the left, while the right-wing chooses dictators as cohorts, dictators like Orbán in Hungary and Putin in Russia.

Is he a "shock jock" with a suitably raspy voice and the disheveled grooming of a modern philosopher, is he a true philosopher, or is he just a guy who knew how to exploit the gifts life gave him. I find him confusing. He says things we have all thought about the rich and powerful but attributes the policies that will help the globalists win to the Left, while we can clearly see that it is the Right protecting the hoarding of money with tax cuts, giving money human rights as in Citizens United v the FEC, and thus growing the power of the wealthy.

Perhaps the rich and powerful do not divide the world into left and right; rather simply by rich and not rich. I have not become an Alex Jones devotee, but I have learned more about him. If making a fortune is the test of brilliance, then well-done Alex. However, simply accruing wealth does not offer absolute proof of genius, or at least it didn't used to. Perhaps we no longer know what true genius is. None of our heroes seem able to pass the tests of a divided nation/world.

I did not read the Kindle edition, I read the hardcover edition.

I did not finish this book. I read the cover jacket and thought it might be an interesting view of current events. I was wrong. This is propaganda. It is written for people who don’t read and want to be told what to do. It was written in a way that you converse with children. “You like lollipops, right?” I guess it was enlightening in that it helps me understand who this message appeals to - scared, uninformed people who are resistant to progress and change. It makes me sad to believe that there are so many people susceptible to this manipulation.

I would suggest to overcome your biases on Alex Jones, read the book and then decide for yourself based on all the info, notes he provides.
Even if only 1 of the great resets is real, and considering how things are evolving, I think it is more than only one.

At the beginning it might be tricky to read but because it includes quotes from "authors" (Schwab) who are clunky.

But the book gives a great perspective and something you don't find anywhere else.

I wonder why?

Much of the information and this book is very nice.

I would, however, take exception with the way he takes the Bible completely out of context. I will take a star off for that.

Overall, definitely recommended to get a glimpse into what may be coming. But just remember, these folks that want to take over the world and forget about God will be in for a rude awakening one day.

My first impression: After hearing Del Bigtree’s praise of this book on The Highwire, I was really looking forward to reading this book. I was expecting to read a more serious book about the great reset and the history of totalitarian governments, but instead what this is is Jones basically giving reviews of the globalists’ books. Jones uses analogies to give his own interpretation of whatever Schwab says. In the first couple chapters, Schwab really says nothing at all, just basically, “The world is changing, and we must adjust” with no specifics. And Jones reads into everything he says and makes it sound sinister. The Great Reset is sinister enough without having to twist and exaggerate Schwab’s vague words. I feel like Schwab could have said, “We’re going to teach kids the sky is blue,” and Jones would twist it into, “Oh my God, our kids are going to be property of the state! They’re going to be indoctrinated!” This insulting and over the top exaggeration of Schwab may appeal to those who already hate the man and want to hear nothing but an echo chamber, but it lacks the substance that more objective people seek. I wouldn’t be able to give this book to someone ignorant to teach them about what the great reset is all about. They would think Jones was just a raving lunatic making a big deal over nothing.

But the book did get better as Jones got more serious and analyzed in a calmer manner. And I did learn some things I didn’t know before.

Schwab’s writing seemed to be pretty neutral/vague. It reminded me of the book I read called Revolutionary Wealth, in which the author talked about how things are rapidly changing and how great the future will be.

Brzezinski’s writing was more specific and clearly negative for the majority of us: “More directly linked to the impact of technology, it involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled and directed society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific know-how. Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control” (63).

I liked that Jones admitted that Yuval Noah Harari was intelligent and complimented his writing as fascinating and thoughtful (98, 99). This shows Jones can be objective. Harari’s vision of the future includes genetic manipulation of food (and eventually humans), robotic enhancements (chips under the skin), and intelligent machines (AI) that rule over us (113-119). “The system will still find value in some unique individuals, but these will constitute a new elite of upgraded superhumans rather than the mass of the population” (122). The small, privileged, upgraded elite humans will remain indispensable and undecipherable (123). Bill gates said he was a big fan of everything Harari has written (125).
“The missing component in Harari’s analysis is he does not seem to consider the possibility that it was the rise of people like himself, those who think they know better than others, that has caused so much strife as groups of people began to live in larger and larger communities” (101). Probably every leader of government and corporation and even family groups think they know best. Whether they actually do or not is debatable. Their status as leaders allows them to carry out their will.
Harari said, “If you want power, at some point you will have to spread fiction. . . . Scholars throughout history have faced this dilemma: do they serve power or truth? Should they aim to unite people by making everyone believe the same story, or should they let people know the truth even at the price of disunity?” (125) I think that’s what happened with religion. It was a lie to unite people, because it was too chaotic and unpredictable to let people believe whatever they wanted, and law wasn’t enough to keep some people in line. Harari likes Brave New World’s style of controlling people through love and pleasure rather than through fear and violence (127).
He said that Disney’s movie “Inside Out” had the message of no free will, and that it surprisingly became a worldwide hit despite its “sinister implications” (126). First of all, the movie likely only became a hit because it was a Disney movie, and all modern Disney movies become hits because all the parents take their kids to see them without knowing anything about them. Secondly, if Harari thinks it’s true that people don’t have free will, why would he call this sinister? Passages that like one and this one make me wonder if he’s trying to warn people against technology rather than advocate for it: “As cave paintings gradually evolved into television broadcasts, it became easier to delude people. In the future, algorithms might bring this process to completion, making it well-nigh impossible for people to observe the reality about themselves. It will be the algorithms that will decide for us who we are and what we should know about ourselves. For a few more years or decades, we still have a choice. If we make the effort, we can still investigate who we really are. But if we want to make use of this opportunity, we had better do it now” (128).

The World Economic Forum started as The Trilateral Commission, founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, and Zbigniew Brzezinski (38, 40). “They immediately passed the baton to the United Nations. In 1974, the United Nations passed a resolution called ‘The Establishment of a New International Economic Order’” (40). “The members of the Trilateral Commission had sufficient contacts among the foreign policy elite that they could reasonably expect to be placed in the top positions in government, regardless of whether there was a Republican or Democrat administration in power” (41). Kissinger was President Nixon (R)’s National Security advisor, and Brzezinski was President Carter (D)’s National Security advisor and got China to join the world stage (40, 41). The Trilateral Commission operated through the presidencies of Reagan, Bill Clinton, Obama, and George Bush Sr. & Jr. (45). “The same thing happened, maybe to a lesser extent in the Trump administration, and now you have the Biden administration” (45). “China is the poster child for Technocracy. They have perfected surveillance, artificial intelligence, the use of social credit scores to keep their citizens in line, and strong-arming the population, forcing them to do whatever they want” (41). The Trilateral Commission was a smaller group of people who were more secretive, but when it became the World Economic Forum, it was open about its plans and broadened its membership to include media, lawyers, politicians, and CEOs (47). “One of the people who was not taken with the globalists of the Trilateral Commission in the 1970s was United States [AZ] Senator Barry Goldwater” a republican who ran against Johnson in 1964 and lost (65). Goldwater said that the globalists of the Trilateral Commission would treat the population “as nothing more than producing and consuming units. No attempt has been made to explain why the people of the Western world enjoy economic abundance. Freedom—spiritual, political, economic—is denied any importance in the Trilateral construction of the next century” (67).

Goals of TC/WEF/UN:
Infiltrate governments across the world (148).
End national sovereignty. It has largely been accomplished in the European Union. “The EU has taken over virtually every single function of the countries that it presides over. You can say on one hand, there’s still a national government in Spain, Switzerland, and Germany. Yes, there is. But do they have the same power today that they had, say, 30 years ago? No, of course they don’t” (52). Schwab said, “If no one power can enforce order, our world will suffer from a ‘global order deficit.’ Unless individual nations and international organization succeed in finding solutions to better collaborate at the global level, we risk entering an ‘age of entropy’ in which retrenchment, fragmentation, anger and parochialism will increasingly define our global landscape, making it less intelligible and more disorderly. The pandemic crisis has both exposed and exacerbated this sad state of affairs. The magnitude and consequence of the shock it has inflicted are such that no extreme scenario can now be taken off the table” (79).
Use Covid-19 to make people stay home more, use the Internet more, and get more comfortable with tracking and limitations (171).
Digital IDs. “Our goal is to enable all life situations with this digital ID. The pandemic has accelerated our progress. First of all, people are really now demanding digital, online services. People have no choice but to trust technology.” (Mykhailo Fedorov, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, p. 139-140).
Fascism. Replace classic capitalism with crony capitalism (217). Jones points out that the globalists want to do a public-private partnership, which is basically fascism as in Mussolini’s Italy and Hitler’s Germany. “This is how fascism differs from communism. The communists seized the means of production and tried to run these industries. They didn’t do a good job” (19-20). “Schwab is counting on the big corporations to function as de facto governments, possibly through their terms of service” (28), just as the US government used the biggest social media websites to censor, while it was not technically considered censorship because the government was not directly doing it (or so they claimed). “It’s important to understand that Technocracy can’t accurately be called communism or democracy. It is best understood as a monopoly on power, held jointly by Big Business and Big Government” (39). I guess the globalists couldn’t do communism in the US even if they wanted to, because the wealthy business leaders wouldn’t allow it to happen. Wealthy business owners lobby the government to get them to do their bidding. So the only way government/globalists can get more control over the people is by partnering with big business.
Weaponize climate change; use it as an excuse to control or prevent people’s movement. “Carbon dioxide emissions must fall by the equivalent of a global lockdown roughly every two years for the next decade for the world to keep within safe limits of global heating” (171). Academics in Australia propose adding climate change to death certificates (169). An international agency calls for everything from restrictions on your thermostat, to restrictions of moving. You can only fly in a climate emergency when it’s quote, ‘morally justifiable’” (169). “In the UK, they proposed CO2 ration cards that the government or employers would monitor your CO2 levels, your energy use, your travel, the type of car you drive. If you exceed a level, you pay penalties. If you’re under, you get credits. . . . A CO2 budget for every man, woman, and child on the planet as been proposed by a German climate advisor” (170). Biden’s infrastructure bill requires that all new vehicles sold in the US have instant kill switches. The police or other government authorities will be able to access it whenever they want, likely without a warrant. Hackers could also access it and shut down your vehicle. The regulation likely won’t be enforced for five years. (162-163). Another thing included in the infrastructure bill is charging people per mile that they drive, which Jones says is to make driving too expensive for most people (163).
Destabilize the global food supply in order to fully control the population (181). Encourage eating bugs (195). The WEF article titled “Why We Need to Go On the ‘Planetary Health Diet’ to Save the World” said to limit Westerners to 14g a day (30 calories) or a mouthful of a Sirloin steak, Africans to 50g of starchy veggies, and Asians to 28g of fish (189). The globalists claim farming meat contributes to climate change, but Jones thinks that they want us to stop eating meat because meat makes us more intelligent. In a study on 555 Kenyan children, eaters of a meat soup got higher non-verbal test scores, and eaters of that or an oil soup got higher math scores compared to kids who ate soup with milk in it or no soup at all (190-191). I’d like to see this study done with fish too. I predict the fish group would do best of all. I’d also like the study to be done making sure each group got equal calories to eliminate the possibility that simply more calories contributed to their higher test scores.

COVID:
“The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in partnership with the WEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise on 10/18/19 in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated areas where public/private partnerships will be necessary during the response to the severe pandemic in order to diminish large-scale economic and societal consequences” (70). Funny that the economic and societal consequences of 2020 were caused by the public/private partnerships, not by covid-19.

Scientists said in a 2016 Nature article that they were able to make bat coronaviruses able to infect humans (70).

Schwab said “One of the great lessons of the past five centuries in Europe and America is this: acute crises contribute to boosting the power of the state. It’s always been the case and there is no reason why it should be different with Covid-19” (78). “Some leaders and decision-makers who were already at the forefront of the fight against climate change may want to take advantage of the shock inflicted by the pandemic to inflict long-lasting and wider environmental changes. They will, in effect, make ‘good use’ of the pandemic by not letting the crisis go to waste. [A famous statement attributed to Chicago mayor and Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel.] The exhortation of different leaders ranging from HRH the Prince of Wales to Andrew Cuomo to ‘build back better’ goes in that direction” (83). Jones says Build Back Better is the global elite’s sanctioned political slogan for the Great Reset (171).

Isabella Chase (British think tank member) and Rick McDonnell (UN chief) wrote an article in May 2021 called “The U.S. Pandemic Recovery is a Chance to Improve Digital ID” (150). Whether or not Covid was released intentionally or not, the globalists are using the “Crisis to further a long-standing agenda” (151).

Interesting:
“Nothing reveals more about a person than where they spend their money” (106).
The governor of CA “invoked emergency powers that never seem to end,” while at the same time allowing the Super Bowl in his state where 30,000 people sat elbow to elbow without any masks on (144).
Even before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the UK had a massive lack of fertilizer because of gas shortages (158).
It takes about 100 barrels of oil to make the amount of batteries that can store a single barrel of oil-equivalent energy (161).
“Business moves in an elevator lifted by the force of creativity; governments and regulatory agencies take the stairs of incremental learning” (202). That’s one reason why capitalism thrives and communism fails.
Empires “have been toppled only by external invasion or by a split within the ruling elite” (Harari, p. 107).
“When things improve, expectations balloon, and consequently even dramatic improvements in objective conditions can leave us dissatisfied” (Harari, p. 111). “If economic growth and self-reliance do not make people happier, then what’s the benefit of capitalism?” (Harari, 109). I think those things could make people happy, but the advertising and social media show people things they don’t have, so people want more things and become unhappy with what they already have. It’s not the fault of capitalism exactly. It’s more the fault of TV/computers. Even if advertising were only done through the postal mail and through billboards, this would help a lot because it would be less exposure to advertisement than what we currently get through TV and computers.

Where I disagree with Jones:
A study from Nature magazine said that meat provides a more calories-rich meal with much less chewing than root foods, which boosts nutrient levels (190). I disagree with this. My kid takes forever to chew meat.

“If there has been a problem with income inequality, human dignity, or degradation of the environment, it’s the fault of that 1% [of elites/rich people]” (21). Not really. Degradation of the environment was caused by industrialization and overpopulation. And who reproduces the most? The poor. Income inequality is party because of poor people who refuse to get out of poverty, which government enables by providing welfare and food stamps, and partly because the very rich get paid so much more than minimum wage. But it isn’t the fault of the rich that there’s such a wealth gap. Many wealthy get paid so well because their poorer customers are willing to pay those high prices. If not many people paid the high prices, the wealthy would not be so wealthy and would be forced to lower their prices. Blaming the 1% for income inequality is why leftists want socialism/communism, which makes everyone equally poor except the government which becomes the new 1%.

Jones doesn’t think that the success of any political system is based on the use of force, rather than persuasion (107). Even the US’s laws were not decided on by asking everyone to vote on them. They were made by a handful of men who thought they knew best. And if anyone disobeyed the laws, then they would be taken away by force, not persuaded to change their ways.

“If there’s no such thing as free will, how could anybody ever be prosecuted for rape, murder, or any crime?” (121) According to the Bible, we have free will AND get punished by God if we sin. So both free will and punishment can exist at the same time. “This is a version of hell where nothing is forbidden, and all things are permitted” (121). Actually, that would be complete freedom AKA anarchy, which isn’t a good thing any more than the strict control the globalists want for us. The globalists want strict control over us while at the same time saying we have no free will; they don’t want all things permitted. No free will doesn’t mean anything goes; it means we are controlled by something else. The globalists want to be that something else.

Jones implies that Russia invaded Ukraine because Ukraine wants to force digital ID on people (140). I disagree with this because Vladimir Putin was a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum (148), and China has been oppressing their citizens with similar technology, and Russia never invaded China. “The CCP has been constructing a moral ranking system for years that will monitor the behavior of its enormous population—and rank them all based on their ‘social credit’ . . . The exact methodology is a secret—but examples of infractions include bad driving, smoking in non-smoking zones, buying too many video games, and posting fake news online, specifically about terrorist attacks or airport security. Other potential punishable offenses include spending too long playing video games, wasting money on frivolous purchases, and posting on social media. Being discredited or blacklisted in China makes it nearly impossible to get a job, travel, buy things from stores, get a mortgage, or have children. You could also find your Internet speed slowed down or be prevented from boarding an airplane. That’s not to mention the public shaming component, as there is even an application that shows you the names and photos of everyone around you who is low on social credits, or in financial debt!” (141-142)

AN EXCELLENT SUMMATION OF THE CONTROVERSIAL TV HOST’S VIEWS

Alexander Emerick Jones (born 1974) is a TV show host and noted conspiracy theorist, who hosts The Alex Jones Show from Austin, Texas, and has several websites (e.g., InfoWars) to spread his ideas.

He wrote in the first chapter of this 2022 book, “The premise of this book is that the battle we are fighting against the Great Reset is nothing more than an ancient battle between the forces of freedom and tyranny. And yet, the critical piece of this fight is not found with those who are publicly advocating for our historical freedoms, or among those advocating for greater governmental control of your life. The battle is won or lost by you, the public, deciding whether you want freedom over your life and decisions or more governmental control. Choose wisely.” (Pg. 4)

He asks, “Do you think Marc Benioff [CEO of Salesforce] or Klaus Schwab [founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF)] is genuinely interested in your opinions? The truth is they simply want us to be silent as they enact their plans… And let’s not forget the blatant lies they tell, like leading you to believe they want incumbents to be disrupted. They’re the incumbents. They’re doing this so they don’t get disrupted. They want a front row seat… as they reshape ‘production, consumption, transportation, and delivery systems.” (Pg. 6, 8)

He continues, “Let’s translate Schwab’s flowery language into its true meaning. ‘Those currently in charge are too stupid to understand the brilliance of my plan! Stand aside, peasants, and let me unleash my massive brainpower on the world!’... Honestly, is there any other way to understand the condescension of Schwab’s writing?” (Pg. 10) He goes on, “This book will detail all parts of Schwab’s strategy to use the Great Reset to achieve an unprecedented amount of control over your daily life. This… is a war to control the future of human development and capture control of the human species… I freely confess that in this book I use abundant satire and mockery. And yet that’s not to imply that the plans of Schwab and the Davos Group are not dangerous… Our enemies are human and possess no more strength or intelligence than you do. They currently possess many of the levels of power… but eventually they are accountable to the common people. You are the ones who will decide whether the future is one of freedom and prosperity, or bondage and suffering.” (Pg. 10-12)

He asserts, “these globalists/Technocrats… genuinely believed what they were saying. They think the rest of us are idiots in need of being saved by them. They reject all other sources of morality, be it religious, ethical or moral. It is accurate to call them materialists, yet even the ardent materialist can still live an ethical life if they respect the rights of others just as much as they respect these rights for themselves.” (Pg. 49-50)

He argues, “The answer to bad speech is good speech and trusting people to be able to tell the difference. This principle no longer seems to be part of the operating system of our civilization. Instead, the motives of the speaker were attacked, usually with some of the most heinous allegations possible today, and that person was removed from the discussion on the grounds that many found the comments objectionable, or that such speech created a significant risk of public harm. If we lose free speech, we lose our ability to think and can only blindly follow the dictates of those who believe they have our best interests at heart.” (Pg. 51)

He states, “these globalists don’t understand that they can’t really seem to convince the public and need to use ‘techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control.’ With these people it’s always about controlling others. It’s like a pathological state, the equivalent of a religious fanatic always believing the end of the world is just around the corner.” (Pg. 63)

He contends, “the mainstream narrative of … COVID-19 is filled with so many lies that it’s difficult to detail all of them… I think COVID-19 was a planned attack on civilization by the globalists … But let’s assume for a moment that SARS-CoV-2 wasn’t an intentional act, but rather a negligent one. Scientists were playing around with bat viruses… and one of their creations escaped from the lab… In 2016, in an article in Nature, they’d triumphantly told the world that they’d been able to make these bat coronaviruses able to infect humans… There you have, if not a smoking gun, at least a significant amount of smoke…” (Pg. 69-71)

He continues, “I consider the most likely scenario to be that COVID-19 was released on purpose by the globalists to terrify us into accepting their authoritarian rule, complete with dangerous vaccines that would kill or maim a large part of the population, requiring further government support. I consider the second-most likely scenario to be that there was an accidental escape of the pathogen from the Wuhan Institute of Virology… and that the authorities and globalists were taking the measures they did because they genuinely believed they were justified by the unprecedented nature of the emergency.” (Pg. 76)

He asserts, “Schwab, in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis, laid out his plan to deal with the dissidents. ‘No extreme scenario can now be taken off the table.’ What might those extreme scenarios be? The shutting down of opposing voices on social media?... Cutting off a person’s access to financial payment services?... Using law enforcement agencies, like the FBI or IRS, to harass the dissidents? The creation of detention camps, to be utilized for those who deny health mandates… The mass execution of those who defy government orders?” (Pg. 79-80)

He suggests, “just imagine if they turned off all their mobile apps. Of, if we were all linked into a Central Bank Digital Currency, and they deducted social credits, or pulled money off their tokenized central bank digital currency. Imagine a world where your every movement is tracked. Your opinions would be analyzed by artificial intelligence (AI) and you could be instantly penalized for wrong thinking. This is the world that the global elites would like to create with the Great Reset. This … is not unrealistic conspiracy theory. The technology is already there…” (Pg. 136)

He complains, “I was the first person in history to be totally censored and deplatformed from social media… I was the first person to have all social media, tech companies, and financial institutions remove me from their services. That was bad, but just imagine what happens when everything is centralized into a World ID, vaccine passport, and Central Bank Digital Currency.” (Pg. 141)

He asks, “Would you willingly give up your freedom of movement, your ability to drive and travel, if they told you it was for saving the planet? If they told you (again) that a new crisis was so severe that you had to stay inside indefinitely? Would you be willing to allow global governments and big corporations to track and trace your every movement, in the name of saving the planet?... would you submit to a digital surveillance system to monitor your carbon emissions? These are questions worth asking, because this is what they want for you.” (Pg.153)

He summarizes, “Ultimately, I believe that the microchips and digital software in your car will sync to your personal identity, just like your iPhone syncs to your iCloud. Your car will become a surveillance device to monitor, track, trace, and penalize you. And in a digital world, it will be automatically synced with your digital currency financial accounts and social credit score. Perhaps this is another reason why they want us all to use electric cars?” (Pg. 163) Later, he adds, “How does the big plan all get put together? Why, by tying together your vaccine papers with your carbon footprint. What an excellent way to manage the population… Once they get your approval to be tracked for COVID-19, it's not that big of a jump to get you to agree to track your carbon footprint.” (Pg. 173)

He acknowledges, “Admittedly, much of this is hypothetical, and while there doesn’t seem to be a lot of good data, that doesn’t seem to be stopping the globalist war on meat. Why might that be? Meat is likely associated with higher intellectual function. If you’re lying to people, it’s probably easier if they’re not as smart as they might otherwise be. Some evidence suggests veganism is likely associated with lower intellectual function. I believe a planet of vegans would be much easier to control than a planet of meat eaters.” (Pg. 191)

He concludes, “We are in a war for the future of the world. The globalists want an antihuman future in which they will capture control of our species and direct the future of human development. But that’s not a future the people want. They want a future of freedom, where scientific discoveries liberate them to be so much more than they could ever be when they were focused on mere survival… Science can serve as a handmaiden of humanity’s development, but it makes a poor master, which is exactly what the globalists seek to bring about. The globalists are destined to fail. It is God’s will. We were created to be the masters of our own fate. We only need to choose that path, and it will open up before us.” (Pg. 220)

This book presents a very useful summation of Jones’s views (and reading the book is much quicker than viewing all of his videos, TV shows etc.).

This sure was a frustrating read. It's mostly full of quotes from other books, intermittently interrupted by Alex Jones' terrible writing. He likes to write.
Like.
This.
I think it's for emphasis, or to sensationalize something. After making a loose connection based on a coincidence, or a misinterpretation or after letting his imagination run wild, he'll often repeat himself multiple times in a row. Saying it again doesn't make it truth, Alex. If only he knew anything about the scientific method, despite how much he loves to bash it.
It's nice to know he's read Brave New World. It's too bad he doesn't realize it's a science fiction book written in the 30's.

I’ve enjoyed listening to Alex Jones for many years, I’m not saying I believe everything he says, especially the weird outlandish stuff, but I enjoy the way he says it. Though I always have to turn off when he starts making outlandish claims against people that have lost their children in horrific massacres.

This book starts off great, he comes across as a free thinker, but then he starts with the contradictory stuff, he claims to be anti globalist, but then attacks the anti globalist environmental movement. Big business and most governments are anti environmental, and so is Alex Jones, seems odd. He claims to be for people, and anti big business, if that’s the case why is he repeating their lies? He then claims to be pro people demonstrating against big business and the governments they’ve bought, but then attacks these demonstrations as some weird Jewish/communist plot. Equal rights for all sexes and all races is apparently part of the Jewish/globalist/communist plan to keep us in control? It’s like when he goes into the governments being corrupt and bought and paid for by big business, this is 100% fact, but then he bizarrely contradicts himself and starts cheerleading for the republicans!? It’s truly bizarre. And it’s why many think he’s a bought and paid for “shill”, and I understand where they’re coming from.

The chapter where he quotes Harari then purposefully misconstrues what he’s just read was very weird, and was quite irritating to read. In reality what Harari actually says and thinks is very close to many of Alex’s views, so the attacks came across as very childish, and worrying, does he really have fans that can be that easily told what to think?

If he was a true free thinker I think he’d have a lot more followers, but I doubt he’d make as much money, which is why I think he goes off in the pro right contradictory hyperbole. I personally think he probably is a free thinker, and knows the contradictory stuff is lies, but knows it keeps a lot of his followers interested and buying his stuff. Everyone knows preaching hate of others is a very easy way to keep followers and make money.

The ethos of a true free thinker is “no gods, no masters”, in this book he seems to start like that, but by the end he’s the exact opposite.

QUOTES

All of us have to answer for our actions in this world. We are spirit, and the attempt to deny such a reality is the path to suffering and hell. Look at history and tell me I'm wrong. The fascists of Italy, the Nazis of Germany, to and the Communists of the Soviet Union all sought to restrict the rights of people and placed the government as their God when ideologues get in charge and tell you they must "temporarily" do terrible things the atrocities just keep piling up. It's as predictable as the law of gravity.

As a Christian I'm always willing to accept a sinner who has seen the error of his ways. It's one of the superpowers of being a Christian. We rejoice over the reconciliation of the greatest sinner even more than the enduring faithfulness of the regular believer.

The greatest victory is not to destroy your enemy, but to welcome him back when he realizes the error of his ways.

Unlike the globalist, God does not force you to do anything. One must come to their decisions voluntarily and without coercion if they are to have any meaning at all. Making voluntary decisions is one of the most important aspects of living as a free human being and emerging as one who is calm and at peace with the world.

Of course, we've all heard of the gulags, forced labor camps maintained in the Soviet Union. These gulags become prisons used to capture, control and enslave dissidents. And what was a dissident? Simply a person who opposed the official policy of an authoritarian state. Now imagine this digital gulag being used in countries around the world, or in the United States.

It can be overwhelming to fully understand the plan of the globalist but they count on you not being informed or being so enamored of their promises that you won't question some of the more troubling aspects. But the truth is their plans are fragile. All we need to do is speak out, stand up, say no to them, and they will have to flee from us and civilized society.

If the World Economic Forum says that you will own nothing and be happy, why is Bill Gates so busy buying all the farmland? Could it be that you will own nothing, but they will own everything?

We all remember what it was like to be young and filled with moral righteousness. But as we matured, we started to have a greater understanding of the complexity of the world. We came to understand that the best decisions are not made from a place of panic, but from calm, rational consideration.

Why is it that I remain so optimistic about our ability to defeat the globalists? It's because they can't tell a story to save their lives and stories run the world. They fail to realize stories of freedom, of humanity's ability to triumph over great odds, are always more popular than stories of slavery, or eternally young cyborgs, sexless and non-breeding.

The lie is that the individual cannot be trusted to make their own decisions. It's a lie they'll never be able to sell, no matter how many experts they get to tell you that you can't be trusted with the choices for your life.
