There is a program on Daystar called Prophecy Watchers and this is where I heard about Klaus Schwab and the book he wrote called The Great Reset. A one world government.

I think this is when people will be hailing him as a hero and saying peace peace when he comes up with supposed solutions and then the Bible says, sudden destruction.
As Christians we need to know that even the elect will be deceived by the signs performed by the ac. I confess I fell for the whole vaccine thing but that was a wake up and thank God I have another chance to not be deceived again.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 says that Christians will see the anti-Christ before the Lord comes and so whilst it sounds very spiritual to say we are not looking for the ac but for Jesus Christ, it remains a big indicator for those of us who are watching for the coming of the Lord.
3 Let no one in any way deceive or entrap you, for that day will not come unless the [c]apostasy comes first [that is, the great rebellion, the abandonment of the faith by professed Christians], and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction [the Antichrist, the one who is destined to be destroyed],
An even better way to navigate than going to their website would be to type "world economic forum...." in whatever search engine you use followed by the subject line. So if you wanted to look up their numerous articles about digital currency, you'd type "world economic forum digital currency," etc. You can also go to places like YT and listen to their current speeches and group discussions.

Their recent discussion of how those goals could be furthered in the post-covid world was called 'the great reset', and It's pretty standard "disaster capitalism" (where right-wing rich elites take advantage of a crisis to make themselves richer at the expense of the average person).
Wiki:
The Great Reset Initiative, and the World Economic Forum more generally,[11] have been criticised by some commentators for promoting economic deregulation and a greater role in policy for unrepresentative private businesses, particularly large multinational corporations, at the expense of government institutions.[12][13] Other commentators held that the Great Reset, if achieved, would lead to an ultra-conservative, "neo-medieval world health" order[14] or crony capitalism.[15]
It's their usual policy of wanting to destroy government, because government polices them. It's like 'defund the police' but for right right-wingers trying to scam everyone else, and unlike 'defund the police' the 'deregulation' version of the phrase sadly has many supporters.Last edited by Starlight; 12-28-2022, 04:31 PM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Yes, because climate change policy that they endorse is such a "right-wing" taking point.
3 responsibilities every government has towards its citizens

And I adept quite well. For some reason, when I encounter people like that, I just treat them as normal people.
That's what most of us want. Now, we do also want people to listen to us when we tell them we have an issue with something, but that should be common courtesy regardless of a person's brain wiring. There have been countless times I've been told I was "making things up", or "just trying to get attention" when that was the furthest things from the truth. It made me doubt my own sanity*.
Case in point...
I had a good friend who had a (dare I say "mentally retarded") son - Andy was 16, but "had the mind of a 4 year old", more or less.
I just talked to him like he was normal.
One day, I was kidding with Andy that I was Andy, and he was me. (Switched roles)
He started calling me Andy, and his dad got a little miffed --- he scolded me for "confusing" his son.
I said, "Kenneth, watch this...."
I asked Andy, "Andy, who is Andy - and he laughed and pointed to me".
Then I said, "OK, but really, who is Andy" and Andy got a sad look and pointed to himself and said "me - Andy".
I told Kenneth that was one of the first things I noticed about Andy -- he had the ability to both employ and understand humor.
He knew we were playing a game. He knew full well that I was me and he was him, but we pretended to switch roles.
Kenneth didn't know what to say - he had never thought about the "humor" aspect.
That really blew me away -- how could he not see that?
But I guess he was so focused on "taking care of Andy" that the didn't notice those things.
*I also heard things like "you're so smart, you can't have problems with X!". I was also accused of being too sensitive, a cry baby, etc. when I did show emotion, but was "emotionless", cold, uncaring etc. when I didn't.
**The rigid thinking being on the dad's part in your example. A lot of people have a rigid idea of what autism "looks like", and if you don't meet that you aren't seen as autistic even if you do have all of the symptoms. Nobody even thought that I could possibly have autism because I didn't match certain preconceived notions.

Typical conservative reaction:
The initiative triggered a range of diverse conspiracy theories spread by the American far-right and conservative commentators on social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Such theories include baseless claims that the COVID-19 pandemic was created by a secret group in order to seize control of the global economy,[1] that lockdown restrictionswere deliberately designed to induce economic meltdown,[16] or that a global elite was attempting to abolish private property while using COVID-19 to enslave humanity with vaccines.[17][12] Great Reset conspiracy theories increased in intensity when leaders such as U.S. president Joe Biden, New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeauincorporated ideas of a post-COVID-19 "reset" in their speeches.[1][18]

This is actually a really good example of the kind of rigid thinking** I was warning Sparko about in another thread discussing the term "on the spectrum". It also kind of reminds me of the "double empathy problem". Basically people with autism have historically been accused of having no empathy, but more recent studies have shown that two autistics empathize with each other as easily as two "normal" people, but they have difficulty empathizing when you put one of each side into two groups. That's of course on average, and there are people without autism that have no problem empathizing with those that do and vice versa.
