In Heck's view, right-wing anti-Trilateralism has always been rooted in simple isolationism. "This country finds it difficult to be so interdependent with the rest of the world, given our history and our national traditions," he says. "It's a hard lesson for [Americans] to grasp."
The idea behind creating the commission, he says, was that "the United States would never again be in such a singularly dominant position as in the immediate post-World-War-II era, and that leadership in the world would have to be shared." Now, such matters as the ecology -- a new focus of Trilateralist study -- will require global cooperation, Heck says.
"It does not run the world," says Time magazine Editor-at-Large Strobe Talbott, who's been a Trilateralist for at least six years. "Present company emphatically excluded, it's made up of a number of highly influential people. The body itself does not presume some sort of unitary influence. In fact, quite the contrary. ... There's a lot of diversity.
"The proceedings I would describe as much more like a large and high-powered seminar than a parliament or a board of directors," he says.

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. … It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”

4. The "great reset" is better described as the "great transformation" because the plan is not a restart but a world wide revolution
😬
I would argue that that "revolution" is 100% inevitable, however it is not synonymous or interchangeable with the "great reset."
Of course, the ones pushing the "great reset" have a vested interest in convincing people otherwise!
The "great reset" is essentially the technocratic vision to not only maintain establishment dominance (whatever you want to call that), but proliferate it to the greatest extent possible.
Plenty of other courses and paths for our civilization, naturally, but the marketing has done a staggeringly impressive job in convincing many people that all these terms are not only interchangeable, but that it is their vision that is inevitable.
In reality, its the technological revolution itself that is inevitable. But, as long as most people either buy into their vision as the only possibility, or desire a return to times before the personal computer.. The terms and concepts might as well be synonymous.

Overreaching socialism isn't much better. In fact, it's one of the tools to usher it in. Humans like safety. Humans get lazy when they living a good life.
Lazy humans like others to drag them through life. That's why in the current time, a social catching net is so looked after by the new generation, mostly my generation.
Not me though.

The primary obstacle blocking the “sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers” is a strong, democratic, sovereign America. Both cannot exist simultaneously.

Yeah, the technocratic plan has been quite clearly outlined with Agenda21 and so-called "Sustainable Development Goals."
Due to the technology in play, I think we basically have three paths available to us; an absolute corporate global takeover (centralized path), decentralized adoption of the same concepts, or an AI takeover. "Government" would have more of a role if the bureaucracy had more awareness, but it currently serves as little more than a corporate proxy/puppet.
I wouldnt have as much doubt about Agenda 21 if it wasnt so duplicitous, disingenuous, and based in manipulation. It would have some positive aspects, but I believe will also precipitate a global folie a plusieurs due to the MindWar (which has already been forming).
My preference is using the main pillars of the revolution (automation, worldwide communication, & accessible creative tools) in our own homes. I suspect that this option has been highly obfuscated for a variety of reasons. Despite being my preference, since I feel it is a clearly super alternative for our civilization, there would be downsides. Even so, we would actually eliminate things like world hunger and colloquial "poverty." Im 100% biased given that I designed systems specifically for this. I also doubt that technocrats have truly examined the potential for their own benefit in decentralization and instead look at it merely as competition.
The last is a genuine AI takeover. Perhaps not a path that is "chosen" like the other two, but highly relevant in any path. Either way, we are building systems that are primed for a sentient network to take control. Obvious issues here, and most have no idea of the difference between automation and sentient AI.
The illusory option is akin to the Luddites. Desiring everything from elimination of social media to the possibility of EMPs. None will be effective, as global communication & computers are already embedded in our society and the authoritarian systems will be hardened. This will also be somewhat complemented by general, impotent resistance from discussions online to violent reaction. No actual alternatives will be provided here.
Should be fascinating to witness.. Will we choose global tyranny, repeating the same pattern as always? Will we choose the path that directly enables the vast pool of potential in our species, but removes control?

I hadn't heard of Patrick Wood but he is good at explaining how the technocrats have infiltrated & influenced government and what we might expect to see in the decades ahead.

I think the war that is going on is the Global Financial Coup d’État, as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement 56 (FASB 56).
The technocrats’ proposal has three planks:
• Conscription of all men and women, 18 to 65, with all workers placed under a militarily-organized “technological command” coordinate with the Army and Navy.
• “National direction” of all industrial and commercial facilities.
• Suspension of all corporate and “ordinary” commercial operations, including the suspension of dividends, profits, taxes, etc.

But there are only 24 branches/banks? How can there be 34 per his post?
So I said to the wonderful team-mate who was building this, I said, ‘Do me a favour. I want you to put a box called ‘the Federal Reserve’. And I want you to check the box, there are 12 banks, one headquarters and then the branches, for a total of 37 locations. I want you to check the box wherever in . . . in any city where we have a branch or a bank or the headquarters, I want a check.’ And what we discovered is 34 of the 37 bank locations have riots. And I said, ‘Well, wait a minute, that’s a pattern.’ (laughs) There’s something here. Let’s drill down.’ So we started with Minneapolis and we said, ‘Let’s take the data of all the buildings that were harmed or burned, or businesses and we’ll map it. You know, we’ll do a GIS software and we’ll map where these businesses were and how close they were to the Federal Reserve Bank.’ And so the first thing one did, there’s a . . . there’s a street going across Minneapolis called Lake. And we map them. And one of the things we did when we mapped them was we drew pictures of where the opportunity zones were. Do you know what an opportunity zone is? An opportunity zone is a tax shelter mechanism created in 2018 to help the tech billionaires, as they sold their stock, avoid capital gains. So you can . . . if you’re Jeff Bezos, who sold $10billion of stock this year, if you were to roll over your proceeds into opportunity zone investments and handle it in a certain way, you could avoid all capital gains tax. So this is fantastically profitable. Now, if you look at the riots, when I first saw how all the buildings and businesses destroyed along Lake Street were right at the bottom of the opportunity, I started to laugh and I said, you know, ‘I was Assistant Secretary of Housing. That’s not a riot pattern. That’s a real estate acquisition plan.’
Big Tech are very afraid of this woman
