Excerpts from Rajiv Malhotra & Vijaya Viswanathan’s book ‘Snakes in the Ganga’ (Images and titles added):
The public is being deceived with the impression that the global elites have suddenly become big-hearted and selfless. The fact is that they are repositioning themselves for even greater concentration of wealth and power.

[The technocrat founder of World Economic Forum, WEF] Klaus Schwab’s power comes from the grand by-invitation-only annual party he throws called a global summit in Davos, Switzerland. It brings together the most powerful influencers from academics, corporations, governments, artists, royalty, celebrities, activists, and public figures of all kinds to join its carefully thought-out worldview. Through this networking clout, WEF has infiltrated most governments, businesses, and NGOS.

Klaus Schwab has discussed his new world order in a book titled COVID-19: The Great Reset. He says that ‘the pandemic has presented a rare opportunity to reset our world’. According to British journalist James Delingpole: “The Great Reset, as every half-way informed person now knows, is part of the sinister plan by the World Economic Forum (and others) to turn the world into a gigantic slave state in we are the vassals (‘You will own nothing and be happy’) and the Davos elite rule over us like Pharaohs or Babylonian kings. But for some weird reason the puppet governments only obeying the orders of this elite just don’t want to admit this in public.”

Many world leaders cultivated by WEF have publicly supported the principle of the Great Reset.

Klaus Schwab has an unbelievable God complex, and he frequently reminds the reader of his apparently unlimited technocratic faculties. He routinely reveals that he believes his group of colleagues have deity-like powers, and that once they unite their overall expertise, these technocrats, once in charge of all of us, can bring about unprecedented happiness and order.

Environment, Social Justice, and Governance are the pillars of stakeholder capitalism, and the ratings of companies will determine how businesses operate and who gets funded. But the question is, who is deciding the criteria for rating under the ESG system? Answer: Big banks, big consulting and financial institutions, certain corporations, governments, and United Nations officials – all under the aegis of World Economic Forum’s task forces. But this presents serious conflicts of interest because the global elites are designing the value system by which corporate social credit will be managed.

It is safe to assume that the rubric imposed on corporates via the ESG program, and the social credit system scorecard imposed on individuals, will all be based on Western social sciences ideas of what constitutes social justice, environmental compliance, and governance.
*
The World Economic Forum is also bringing ESG to the venture capital world, forcing companies to invest in only those start-ups that are ESG- compliant. Even more shocking is that it wants venture capitalists to use organizations like Amnesty International to supply human rights reports. It says that a “report by Amnesty International highlighting the failure of VC firms over human rights due diligence demonstrate that venture capital has been a laggard when it comes to incorporating … [ESG] considerations in investment processes”.

Just as ESG is a way to control the behavior of corporations, individuals will be controlled through digital IDs and digital currency which will reward them on social credit earned with ‘good behaviour’ as prescribed by the elites. We witnessed this during the pandemic, where the poor were not given rations if they refused vaccinations. This is just the beginning!
*
We could also be headed towards a system of algorithmic justice in which Artificial Intelligence embeds the values of the global oligarchs. The World Economic Forum’s devatas will punish the heretics who commit ‘sins’ as determined by the social credit system. Social credit will determine if one is eligible for services like healthcare, food, insurance, shelter, and travel/mobility. The digital IDs and personal data will prevent dissidents from availing of goods and services. Corporate ESG ratings will effectively shut down small businesses that are non- compliant.

The irony of this new game is that it is being played in the name of saving humanity from a variety of problems. Sadly, many Indian elites are all in it as the new zamindars, sepoys, and shishyas.
