The UN’sOur Common Agenda is common to no one except themselves. It is propagandaized to stampede the world into Sustainable Development, aka Technocracy. Key to their plan is the total digitalization of the entire world and the UN is morphing into its new post-reset form. This is a must-read article. ⁃ TN Editor

Now is the historical movement of time, not only to fight the real virus, but to shape the system for the post-corona era. (Klaus Schwab)

Awaiting us is the total digitalization of the world. This agenda goes hand in hand with the mantra “Build Back Better” which has spread like wildfire among world leaders.

Our Common Agenda contains a number of recommendations on how the UN can be reformed in order to meet the problems facing the world today. Guterres begins the report by describing the serious situation:

We are at an inflection point in history. In our biggest shared test since the Second World War, humanity faces a stark and urgent choice: a breakdown or a breakthrough. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is upending our world, threatening our health, destroying economies and livelihoods and deepening poverty and inequalities.

This is paired with other crises and problems such as climate change, water scarcity, poverty, violence and discrimination. The picture painted is a crisis of Biblical proportions. If nothing is done, exacerbated crises await in the future. The report also points to “problems” such as failure to reach consensus regarding facts, knowledge and science.

Secretary-General António Guterres.

These challenges can only be addressed by an equally interconnected response, through reinvigorated multilateralism and the United Nations at the centre of our efforts.

Therefore, Guterres proposes a summit next year called the “Summit for the Future” with the aim of creating a new global consensus on what our future should look like, and what we can do to secure it.

To this end, an Advisory Committee has been appointed to “to make concrete suggestions for more effective multilateral arrangements across a range of key global issues”. These proposals will be presented at the 2023 meeting.

The panel includes representatives with links to World Economic ForumClub of MadridRockefeller FoundationCouncil on Foreign RelationsTrilateral Commission and the financial elite organization Group of 30 (founded in 1978 with a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation).

Special mention should be made of Tharman Shanmugaratnam from the Technocratic model country Singapore who is chairman of Group of 30, board member of the World Economic Forum and a member of the G20 High-Level Independent Panel on global financing for pandemic preparedness and response. Tharman was also chairman of the G20 Eminent Persons Group on Global Financial Governance, which proposed how the G20’s role in the global financial architecture should be changed to create a new international order.

The role of the G20 in the global financial architecture should be reset. It should focus on developing political consensus on key strategic issues and crisis response.[8]

This gives a hint of the direction and the agenda.

But Our Common Agenda also gives a clear picture of the direction. An action plan of 12 points has been released as a part of the report. This contains proposals that have been discussed for more than a decade.

This includes a Global Digital Compact, a Universal Digital ID, an upgraded digital UN 2.0 and closer cooperation between the UN and the G20-system, space technology to monitor carbon dioxide emissions, an ombudsman who will speak for future generations and the establishment of an “Emergency Platform” as a more effective ways to deal with global crises such as COVID-19 and climate change.

What kind of ”world order” are we here concerned with? Surely one obvious distinction is between a loosely organized or ”open” society and a tightly knit or ”closed” society of a totalitarian form of social order. At the present time we have a loose world order, such as embodied in the present United Nations Organization. Those of us who believe in the necessity for a world federation will want us to foster the forces and agencies working toward political and economic integration, thus tightening up somewhat the loose order into a planetary federation of friendly people. (Oliver Reiser)

In the following posts, I will review these proposals and their close connection to the World Economic Forum, the G20 process and the implementation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the UN Agenda 2030.
