Thierry Baudet
Chair,
For years I have seen how our society is being destroyed and for years I have been fighting against that destruction.
I fight against mass immigration, which is distorting our societies, causing crime, insecurity, social disruption and a catastrophic housing crisis; I fight against the EU’s attack on our national democracies; that awful EU, which is sucking more and more power out of the public domain into a closed world of unelected bureaucrats; Against the climate hysteria and its catastrophic consequences, such as the current energy crisis that has in fact only just started and is likely to get much worse; Against the euro destroying our savings and our economy; Against the insane Covid policies, which have undermined not only our freedom, but also our health; Against wokeism and its totalitarian attack on both freedom of expression and natural human relations; Against the ugliness, yes, the criminality of modern architecture, which violates life and makes everyone a stranger in their own country; And I also fight against the proxy wars of the US and NATO, as now, for example, against Russia, which was first provoked by that same NATO and which is now being fought on the territory of Ukraine: a war that is meaningless and unwinnable, and continent into chaos and poverty.
Chair,
For a long time I thought these were separate phenomena. I couldn’t understand why new fronts were always being opened in the war against ordinary people trying to live an ordinary life. Why we were continuously brought further into the shit. I couldn’t see the connection between these seemingly different problems. Then I came to realize that all these different insanities are really all part of a single plan. As irrational and counterproductive as they are (Covid policies, for example, arguably made Covid worse, all of these are part of the same Big Project. They are symptoms of the same spiritual error. This is not a secret conspiracy I discovered. It is instead an openly announced plan, or series of plans, that have one and the same underlying ideology. Whether the plan is called the Great Reset or Build Back Better, the Green Deal or the ‘Euro-Atlantic Integration’; the plan is always the same and it comes from the same mindset, the same mindset over and over again. In the deepest conviction of the elites who rule us, human freedom is a danger; human nature is a danger. Indeed, human nature must be changed and a new man must be created. That’s why they want transhumanism. These elites think that human nature is flawed and that human intellect (that is, planners, like them) can improve it. They think they can live 150 years, or even forever. They think, like Yuval Harari, guru of the WEF, that people are ‘hackable’ and can be programmed. They believe in “humanity 2.0”. Inextricably linked to this, these people hate existing individual freedom. They hate humanity 1.0, that is, real people. That’s why they want fewer people on the planet. That’s why they want to control us with social credit, QR codes and algorithms so that our feelings and desires can be monitored and manipulated. They think too many people travel. That a personal ’emissions budget’ should control all our movements. They believe that freedom of expression should be curtailed because people say things they don’t agree with. Yes, the whole politics of today has essentially turned into a struggle, a war against traditional European life, against the free man, against other opinions that they call ‘disinformation’, against Russia of course, against even the seasonal flu, which they call excuse to inject people with poison, against national identities too, and yes, of course, against CO2, against Nitrogen, and so on. It goes on and on. The model of government is war, because war means leaders can give orders to civilians, and that’s what our elites really want. They think the world would be more rational, better, more efficient, if it were organized in this way. By them! The language and ideology of top-down management and control thus dominates politics, and bears a stunning resemblance to the language and ideology of the Soviets. We used to have the planned economy; today we have the Sustainable Development Goals. But on a deep level, Davos’ ideology is related to the ideology of communism. The apparent differences dwarf the similarities in conviction. In fact, from the Chinese model we see that communism is completely compatible with economic productivity and – indeed – with globalism.
Thus, the political spectrum does not run from proponents of “state interference” on the one hand, and proponents of “corporations and corporations” on the other: for both groups, which on the surface could be called “left” or “right” on the other, are both groups in which the global elites could be classified: they both believe that when people are in line, they make the wrong choices. They believe that when countries are free, they start wars. And so, that they themselves, these global elites, have to rule. That is why our elites – from both the ‘right’ and the ‘left’ (thus indicating an insignificant, cosmetic difference indeed) – want to create top-down structures like that of the EU to make it impossible for states and people to and act of their own free will. Because of that ideology it feels ‘essential’ for them to want to regulate human economic activity down to the smallest detail and to dream of total control over ‘climate’ and ‘planet’.
Because of that ideology, it feels essential for them to pass euthanasia laws, such as those that already exist in the Netherlands, Belgium and soon France, because they no longer want to accept that there is a part of life that is completely out of our control.
Just as much, it stems from the same ideology of our elites, that the LGBTQI madness is propagated and that children – young children! – are encouraged to experiment with deviant sexualities: nature must be adaptable, yes, the body is for them only an instrument to be brought under control, and the heterosexual family as a natural, even biological basis of society is a thorn in the eye to them. Also, because of this ideology, in which the members of our hopeless elites believe, an attempt is made to construct a new post-historic, post-national homo europaeus, without any connection to its homeland or its history, impregnated with a cosmopolitan ideology without roots. But that’s why it’s “essential” for our elites to destroy Russia, that’s why this obsession with NATO’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, because Putin’s Russia evidently embodies the opposite of all these things. It is a country with a strong sense of national identity, with a realistic approach to foreign policy and a virile male leader against whom the effeminate, often sexually deviant politicians of the West stand out in stark contrast.
Chair,
In ancient times, Gnostics believed that knowledge was the key to eternal life. That the world, nature, could be recreated according to one’s own idea. It is the old astray of the Tower of Babel; the pride of man as we speak is embodied by contemporary gnostics such as Yuval Hariri, guru of Davos, and, in its wake, by all those members of the global elites, whose members of our government are again the executors, the subordinates.
But this wrong way has indeed been around for a long time; it is the age-old struggle between grounded people, those who accept the limits that nature, biology, and God place on life; and the Gnostics, the proud, the alchemists, who want to become God themselves, and who in their overestimation and megalomania cause immeasurable damage – again and again – to life. Consider, for example, the French Revolution, based on the megalomaniac delusion that society must be destroyed in order to be recreated; a revolution that led to the first organized genocide in modern history.
Or look at how the same idea then continued with the positivists of the early 1800s, who wanted a world ruled by industrialists – just as the World Economic Forum advocates today. Then it developed into utopian socialism, with figures like Robert Owen and Louis Blanc building model societies—which failed, of course, because nothing right has ever been hammered out of the crooked wood of humanity. But still it was not defeated, because after that all the revolutionary socialism of Marx, Engels and finally the murderous rule of Lenin developed.
And what happened next? Despite the artificial and superficial ‘contradiction’ between capitalism and communism, Marxism was very much alive in the West during the Cold War – namely, in the form of cultural Marxism, which was rampant in universities, in trade unions, in the media and in the secret services. Whole generations of Europeans were thus taught by Marxists, be they pro-Soviet or pro-Mao. A good example is St Antony’s College, Oxford, where Sigrid Kaag her M.Phil. has done, and which is little more than a training institute for Western secret services – that is, for precisely the globalist elites who want to plan and control our lives behind the scenes. Well, those people, the heirs of this criminal ideology, which caused the French and Russian revolutions, and which transformed into cultural Marxism in the second half of the 20th century – these people set the agenda of modern globalism. Marx and Engels said, “The worker has no land.” That was their ideal. Marx and Engels saw socialism as a weapon, in fact a means, to destroy the nation and the family. But essentially Marx and Engels were internationalists. Makeability thinkers. They hated the nation and the family because they are natural structures, arising from the essence of human nature, and thus cannot be the product of human planning.
So when the Cold War ended, this ideology did not disappear from the world stage. On the contrary, the ideology of global markets has merged with the ideology of the regulated welfare state. We got Globalism, the diabolical form of government in which Big Business and Big Government merge.
Globalism in other words, as the heir of capitalism on the one hand and communism on the other. Engels wrote: “The disintegration of humanity into a mass of isolated, mutually repulsive atoms means in itself the destruction of all corporate, national and even all private interests, and is the last necessary step towards the free and spontaneous association of people.” The old dream of the alchemists. Dissolve and let it solidify. Solve et coagula. Destroy to rebuild.
Covid therefore also as an opportunity – The Great Reset. Build Back Better. Every word out of Klaus Schwab’s mouth is based on the assumption that human society is dangerously anarchic and that it must be centrally managed, directed, controlled, by a few major players operating on a global level. So that globalists are hostile to national sovereignty is not because they are for individual freedom and against the perceived authoritarianism of states. It’s because sovereignty for them embodies the very freedom, and thus the unpredictability, that they can’t bear — because it gets in the way of their supposedly rational plans. Indeed, those plans had been eagerly pursued since the end of World War II. Thus, national coal and steel industries were dismantled and placed under central bureaucratic control. For example, national markets were dismantled and an internal European ‘market’ was created under central bureaucratic control.
European national currencies were dismantled and placed under central bureaucratic control.
Covid was the ultimate (and perhaps planned) opportunity for the globalists to push this control further. Britain’s Jaap van Dissel, Neil Ferguson, even openly admitted that he took inspiration from China, the world’s largest and most terrifying totalitarian state, to introduce lockdowns in Europe. Indeed, the globalists love China because it embodies exactly that combination of capitalism on the one hand and totalitarian control on the other that they dream of. The unfree top-down state of China does not frighten the globalists, it fascinates them and they want to imitate it.
Indeed, they love China as much as they hate Russia. Russia, which not only openly and blatantly disobeys them, but which itself represents an alternative model that they are therefore trying to destroy before people can come to admire it. One of the first sanctions the EU imposed was therefore also aimed at Russian media – imagine Europeans hearing the Russian side of the story!
Yes, mastering the narrative is essential to continue to represent and propagate the virtual reality in which the globalists want us to believe. So they don’t just want to control people’s energy consumption, know and record their social interaction and thoughts, they don’t just want the planned economy: they want the planned society; planned humanity.
And what exactly is wrong with all this? Why not try to control the world? Why are the globalists wrong? Why is the Great Reset the greatest existential threat to human freedom and European civilization we have ever faced?
Chairman: you will know them by their fruits. Our countries are drowning in debt. Inflation is destroying our savings at the rate of 10% per year. For years, economic growth has barely exceeded 1%, if at all. That means that people lose between 9 and 10% per year in income. The euro has fallen below 1 dollar after Mario Draghi said he would save it at any cost. Our debt burden is now so great that it can never be repaid. Trillions of debt has built up for our children to pay off, and our retirees are seeing their savings evaporate due to inflation. This inflation is theft – theft of our assets by the governments and banks that control the money presses. This, therefore, is a spiritual struggle—a struggle to save the human mind from the ravages of its potential engineers. A struggle in which human nature is at stake.
Where humanity is at stake. We must stop the mass immigration and stop the war against the native Dutch and the European peoples. We must dismantle supranational organizations and return to free cooperation between sovereign nation states. We need to free ourselves from Big Pharma, Big Capital and Big Tech. For the safety of current and future generations, we need sound money, not the EU’s politicized Weimar currency. We need policies that favor families, as in Hungary and Russia. We must make peace with Russia, stop with the insane climate mysticism, the LGBT alchemy and the modern anti-aesthetics. We must save European civilization. And that is exactly what the Forum for Democracy program is.
