Chapter 1: The Rise of the World Economic Forum (WEF)
The Origins of the World Economic Forum
The World Economic Forum (WEF) was founded in 1971 by Klaus Schwab, a German economist and engineer. Originally named the European Management Forum, the organization was created to bring together business leaders to discuss economic policies. However, over the decades, the WEF has evolved into a powerful, non-governmental organization (NGO) that influences global governance, economic policies, and social structures.
WEF's Mission and Stated Goals
On the surface, the WEF claims to be committed to improving the state of the world. According to their official website (weforum.org), their mission is to:
However, beneath this mission statement lies a far more ambitious agenda. The WEF actively pushes for global governance, advocating policies that centralize power among unelected elites, corporations, and governments aligned with their vision.
The Shift from Economics to Global Influence
In its early years, the WEF focused mainly on business and economic policies. However, starting in the 1990s, the organization broadened its scope to include:
The Davos Meetings: A Gathering of Global Elites
Each year, the WEF hosts an exclusive summit in Davos, Switzerland, attended by world leaders, corporate executives, and influential policymakers. These meetings, often criticized for their lack of transparency, have led to:

Critics argue that The Great Reset is not about improving the world but rather about centralizing power under a global elite. (World Economic Forum Great Reset)
Why the WEF is a Threat to National Sovereignty
Unlike democratic governments, the WEF is an unelected body with no direct accountability to the public. Yet, it influences policy decisions that impact millions of people worldwide. This raises concerns about:
Resistance Against the WEF Agenda
Many experts, journalists, and independent researchers are now exposing the dangers of WEF-driven policies. Public resistance has grown in recent years, with sovereignty-focused movements pushing back against its influence. Some examples include:
Understanding the Bigger Picture
The WEF’s growing influence is not just about economics—it’s about reshaping the entire world order. By understanding its origins, alliances, and long-term goals, individuals can make informed decisions about their personal freedom, national sovereignty, and economic stability. As we move forward in this book, we will explore deeper aspects of WEF's strategies and their global impact.
