Did you happen to catch the most important political speech of the last six years?
It would have been easy to miss given everything going on. In fact, I almost did, and this speech sits at the intersection of nearly all of my areas of intense study.
The annual World Economic Forum took place last week via teleconference, what I’m calling Virtual Davos, and at this year’s event, of course, the signature topic was their project called the Great Reset.
But if the WEF was so intent on presenting the best face for the Great Reset to the world it wouldn’t have invited either Chinese Premier Xi Jinping or, more importantly, Russian President Vladimir Putin.
And it was Putin’s speech that brought down the house of cards that is the agenda of the WEF.
The last time someone walked into a major international forum and issued such a scathing critique of the current geopolitical landscape was Putin’s speech to the United Nations on September 29th, 2015, two days before he sent a small contingency of Russian air support to Syria.
There he excoriated not only the U.N. by name but most importantly the U.S. and its NATO allies by inference asking the most salient question, “Do you understand what you have done?” having unleashed chaos in an already chaotic part of the world?
As important as that speech was it was Putin’s actions after that which defined the current era of geopolitical chess across the Eurasian continent. Syria became the nexus around which the resistance to the “ISIS is invincible” narrative unraveled
And the mystery of who was behind ISIS, namely the Obama administration, was revealed to anyone paying attention.
President Trump may have taken credit for beating ISIS, but it was mostly Putin and Russia’s forces retaking the Western part of Syria which allowed that to happen, while our globalist generals, like James Mattis, did as much damage to Syria itself and as little to ISIS as possible, hoping to use them again another day.
And regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the U.S.’s policy in Syria, which I most definitely do not, it is hard to argue that Russia’s intervention there fundamentally changed the regional politics and conflicts for the foreseeable future.
It was the beginning of the voluntary disconnection of China, Russia and Iran from the West.
For standing athwart U.S. and European designs on consolidating power in the Middle East, Russia has been vilified in the West in ways that make the indoctrination I received as a kid growing up in the Cold War look like vacation advertisements for spending the summer in Crimea.
But it is that strength of purpose and character that has defined Putin’s two decades in power. He’s done wonders in rebuilding Russia.
He’s made many mistakes, mostly by first trusting American Presidents and second by underestimating just how arrogant and rapacious the leadership in Europe is.
That said, he’s now reached his limit, especially with Europe, and he’s set a firmly independent path for Russia regardless of the short-term costs.
And that’s why his speech at the World Economic Forum was so important.
Putin hadn’t spoken there for nearly a decade. In a time when WEF-controlled puppets dominate positions of power in Europe, the U.K., Canada and now the U.S., Putin walked into Virtual Davos and dumped his coffee on the carpet.
In terms I can only describe as unfailingly polite, Putin told Klaus Schwab and the WEF that their entire idea of the Great Reset is not only doomed to failure but runs counter to everything modern leadership should be pursuing.
Putin literally laughed at the idea of the Fourth Industrial Revolution – Schwab’s idea of a planned society through AI, robots and the merging of man and machine.
He flat-out told them their policies driving the middle class to the brink of extinction over the COVID-19 pandemic will further increase social and political unrest while also ensuring wealth inequality gets worse.
Putin’s no flower-throwing libertarian or anything, but his critique of the hyper-financialized post-Soviet era is accurate.
The era dominated by central banking and the continued merging of state and corporate powers has increased wealth inequality across the U.S. and Europe, benefiting millions while extracting the wealth of billions.
Listening to Putin was like listening to a cross between Pat Buchanan and the late Walter Williams. According to him the neoliberal ideal of “invite the world/invade the world” has destroyed the cultural ties within countries while hollowing out their economic prospects. Putin criticized zero-bound interest rates, QE, tariffs and sanctions as political weapons.
But the targets of those weapons, while nominally pointed at his Russia, were really the West’s own engines of vitality, as the middle classes have seen their wages stagnate, and access to education, medical care, and the courts to redress grievances fall dramatically.
Russia is a country on the rise, so is China. Once their ties are embedded deeply enough to stabilize its economy, so too will Iran rise.
Together they will lead the central Asian landmass out of the nineteenth-century quagmire that exists thanks to British and American intervention in the region. Putin’s speech made it clear that Russia is committed to the process of finding solutions to all people benefiting from the future, not just a few thousand holier-than-thou oligarchs in Europe.
In a less confrontational address, Chairman Xi said the same thing. He gave lip service, like Putin, to climate change and carbon neutrality, focusing instead on pollution and sustainability.
Together they basically told the WEF to stuff the Great Reset back into the hole in which it was conceived.
I’ve followed Putin closely for nearly a decade now. I got the feeling that if he was speaking to a college-level political science class and not a convocation of some of the most powerful people in the world he would have laughed in their faces.
But, unfortunately, he understands better than any of us having been the object of their aggression for so long, he had to treat them seriously as their grasp of reality and connectedness to the people they ruled was nearly severed.
At the end of his planned remarks, Klaus Schwab asked Putin about Russia’s troubled relationship with Europe and could it be fixed. Putin pulled no punches.
If we can rise above these problems of the past and get rid of these phobias, then we will certainly enjoy a positive stage in our relations.
We are ready for this, we want this, and we will strive to make this happen. But love is impossible if it is declared only by one side. It must be mutual.
I don’t get the sense from anything I’ve seen from the Biden Administration or the European Commission in Brussels that anyone heard a word he said.

Bravo. Love VPP.. He really is a wonder. And I’ll take all the opprobrium that that statement invites.
Right there with you Marcus
Wow spoken like a true Commie. No wonder the right likes to dip it’s toes in the fascist camps. Have fun sucking on the politburo teet!
That’s hilarious
You are mistaken. It is the USA that is clearly Communist. Russia cast off those chains.
Paul Ryan must have been in a coma for 30 years. He who is ruled most by the non-members of the Royal Church of Scotland is he who is most communist.
VVP – Vladimir Vladimirovich Putic.
Otherwise, I agree.
I am a huge fan of VVP. Quite often his pressers etc are made available at various website/blogs, with captions in Russian and/or English. With my spotty high school Russian I can follow a fair amount. His language and thought process is so clear. Really wonderful. I am unaware of any USA politician who can match the breadth of VVP’s thinking, his clear articulation of important relationships, his “rhetorical” abilities.
Just like “Orange man bad” it has been non-stop “Russia man bad” and for the life of me I never could get on board with neither of those… This just makes me even more leery in a way but glad that their are still “leaders” who choose not to sell the souls of the little guy to the Davos/WEF crowd. Thanks Tom, been reading back on old articles and tracking down information I may have missed all these years of slaving away for a few dollars here and there
You are welcome JD
Novalny, (sp?), leader of the opposition in Russia, just went to jail on some pretty trumped (lol) up charges. I like Putin. He behaves like a rational man, with some dignity. But, I think we can understand something of his character from this. Iron fist in a velvet glove. When was it he said he would retire?
Yes please reset me. I have no money.
Recently, Yves Rocher admitted that they suffered a loss in effect of Navalny’s actions but he was sent to prison for breaking the terms of his suspended sentence; there’s absolutely no doubt that he did skipped on his weekly reports to the police hence his jail terms are in no way “pretty trumped (lol) up charges.” Assange broke his bail terms for the non-existent crime (charges withdrawn by the Swedish prosecutor) and this is what I call “doing a term on pretty trumped up charges.” As to the other (rhetorical?) question, he said about retiring after the current term, which runs out at the end of 2024, in 3 years time. You worry about something in 3 years while you don’t know what’s gonna happen next month?
Donna read up on who Navalny is! He is a corrupt man who was caught and tried for the crime of stealing not once he was actually given a lite sentence and broke his bale. His organization was taped demanding millions from M-15. He was not poisoned and he is not the leader of the opposition. He is nothing more the the cia m-25 puppet.
Navalny as little support in Russia 2%.
“He’s made many mistakes, mostly by first trusting American Presidents and second by underestimating just how arrogant and rapacious the leadership in Europe is.”
I don’t think Putin ever really trusted America or the West. If he actually did, then Russia would have suffered a fate similar to Ukraine’s or Libya’s. However, Putin had to play a careful game because he did not want to end up in a position similar to North Korea’s, completely isolated from the rest of the world.
Remember Sun Tzu’s quote: “All warfare is based on deception.”
I would actually modify it to say: “All effective warfare is based on deception.”
I think Putin really thought at the beginning there was a chance the Europe would treat Russia decently. But as time went on and the plans of the EU became clear he realized who the real bad guys were
Putin perhaps entertained this as a possibility, but he never seriously based any of his major plans on it. That is the one of the main reasons Russia was able to reemerge as a global power instead of becoming a vassal state or being invaded/bombed. If America and Western Europe suddenly held out a genuine olive branch, Putin would certainly accept, but he has always known that it is foolish to base his plans on such naive thinking.
He just gave the west a chance to act with “truth and respect”, as did Gangs Kahn , in his dealings with the west.(prior to laying your city to a waste land) But once you show that you didn’t understand how to do that, you and those you purport to lead and “govern” were treated as, let us say, ‘unworthy of being regarded as human.” I give Putin free reign, to do what’s needed, stop the rot, to save the forest.
Great article, Tom. Putin is right that the Great Reset will fail, but us in the West will have to suffer through it first. If only Trump hadn’t dropped the ball and made allies of Putin and Xi.
But he did.
Putin as much as stated openly some years ago his reasoning for his actions visa vie the west in general and washington in specific. he said to the effect russia needed 20 years give or take of peace to remake itself into a world class nation state. he said this in the 2000-2010 era. i suspect the russians have achieved 80% of what he envisioned back then at this point in time if not more.
at this point russia is invulnerable from anything the west can toss and if the crazies have their way against russia then the usa will cease to exist as a viable state within 60 minutes or less after the first missiles are detected heading to russia.
neither putin or xi need do anything other than what they already are in order to prevail against an imploding west.
i suppose all they are trying to do at this point is assure those still in professional military positions in the west that war against either russia or china will swiftily and mercilessly bring about your own death and those of your families.
what else can a rational actor do when confronted by desperate crazy imbeciles?
Thanks. Well put.
Re: “And regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the U.S.’s policy in Syria, which I most definitely do not, it is hard to argue that Russia’s intervention there fundamentally changed the regional politics and conflicts for the foreseeable future.”
Might read better with a slight edit:
And regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the U.S.’s policy in Syria, a policy I disagree with, it is easy to see that Russia’s intervention there fundamentally changed the regional politics and conflicts for the foreseeable future.
All the search results for Putin World Economic Forum are from 2 weeks ago. I’m assuming you wrote this article a week ago, so those are the ones you’re talking about? Trying to find a video or transcript.
“But, unfortunately, he understands better than any of us having been the object of their aggression for so long, he had to treat them seriously as their grasp of reality and connectedness to the people they ruled was nearly severed.”
There is much for all of us to learn form Putin’s hard-earned understanding. We too have long been the object of our rulers’ abundant aggression and disdain, but the whole time we kept propping them up with a delusional myth of some cherished connectedness between the rulers and the ruled. That myth has now come crashing down messily all around.
Suddenly, we can plainly see our rulers’ disconnection from both the populace and reality — that is why they have become dangerous. Their losing hold of any remaining tether to reality signals that we need to wake up, as Putin did, and begin treating them far more seriously than we used to. When our rulers begin throwing their hysterical tantrums, we can no longer afford to indulge their nursery-room fits — they simply need to be put down to nap for everyone’s safety and benefit.
Like a seasoned teacher, Putin marched back into their nursery, run amuk, and snatched the great-reset scissors out of their destructive little hands. I expect considerable wailing to ensue!
Thanks Tom, I admittedly hadn’t seen/heard his speech but from the account you’ve shared am delighted. :)
Hi from south of Moscow :)
Hi from North of Gainesville Fl, Eva. I would read the transcript on TASS, it’s impressive.
Thanks, Tom, will do!
Wow, what a small and fragile person. You were right though — you knew quite intimately the insatiable kind of envy you talked about. Being crazed with envy really does weaken people’s souls and their projects, doesn’t it? All the best to you and your blog.
Thank you Christophe
You need to have more followers and influence to be considered useful. Полезный идиот
Who is a useful idiot?
“Putin literally laughed at the idea of the Fourth Industrial Revolution – Schwab’s idea of a planned society through AI, robots and the merging of man and machine. “
I watched Putin’s speech. I’m sorry to say that Lungo is flat out lying with the above statement. Putin didn’t laugh, he didn’t even sneer. His point about the 4th Industrial Revolution and the virtual economy (modern digital tech) is that it creates more unemployment, which fuels ethnic and racial tensions, and that Big Tech suppresses the rights of people and competes with the rights and social interests of nation states.
Vasili, in diplomatic speech what Putin said was akin to laughter. You have to calibrate your listening differently.
All of those points he made about it were warnings that it won’t work and it is the avowed policy of Russia not to treat Russians so badly. Warnings like that spoken diplomatically are the highest form of put down.
In that case do not say “literally laughed.” “Literally” means, uh, literally laughed.
When you consider that after Putin’s presentation, some 80 most prominent wheeler-dealers of the industrial and financial world requested (and were granted) private consultations with Putin regarding future business opportunities, this does seem to show who ended up laughing last at this forum.
I fucking hate Putin shills.
He 100% is onboard with the Great Reset, all of his speech supported all of the Great Reset plans, full-blown global communism, planned economies, coveting from the rich, the vaccines for the fake virus.
All of it.
So, shill, I fucking hate you for selling out to the evil ones.
I love people like Gary Morgan. So deep in their own cognitive dissonance that they can’t see what is right in front of their eyes.
Your anger is like delicious scotch. I savor it.
I would like to know if he’s not on board with the ‘Great Reset’ why is his country so intent on ‘vaccinating’ or using gene therapy on it’s populace? This seems to the central theme running through the present narrative so why go with it..?
Have you looked into the Sputnik V vaccine? If you haven’t then your comment makes no sense.
Because Sputnik V is not an mRNA vaccine. It is a simple two-factor adenovirus vector vaccine designed to stimulate the immune system to fight off the virus, similar in design to the ones the same Russian institute developed for SARS, MERS and Ebola.
This type of vaccine is the safest, most effective form of vaccine for this virus. In effect, Sputnik V is the vaccine to counter the rush for the Gates eugenics program which the Western vaccines are.
It’s cheap to produce and can then undermine the call for universal vaccination and medical passports to stop people from freely roaming the world. That’s the point of these mRNA vaccines, to be so dangerous that only the ‘good people’ get to travel and do business… while the Deplorables are forced to stay at home and not consume energy or make a living.
They can die off and save the planet.
Sputnik V is the exact opposite of that, a low-cost, low-side-effect, reasonably effective vaccine that will end these ridiculous lockdowns.
I wrote about all of this a couple of months ago… search Sputnik V on the front page, you’ll find the article.
Bang on. Sputnik V can be thought of as a ‘true’ vaccine – an attenuated form a virus, designed to stimulate an immune response, and thereby build antibodies which can then defend against that, or a similar virus, in future. That’s something most should recall from high school biology.
Geopolitics is chess, and Putin and the current Russian leadership are superior in the craft. In this game, one needs to predict with every move of your opponent, what their next steps may be. The Russian leadership figured out relatively quickly during the orchestrated pandemic that it posed no more risk than an above-average flu, but despite that, the global population would be spooked, and the cabal of elites would try to calm the population with a mandatory vaccination narrative. So the Russians got ahead of it. Which wasn’t even hard to do, because researchers have been working on cold virus (essentially what corona virus is) vaccines for 40 or more years. That research has never really resulted in a marketable vaccine, because until March 2020, most people just accepted that if they got a cold, their immune system would fight it off. But Sputnik V can be viewed far more as a geopolitical chess move, than as a cure for a disease which was never serious in anything more than an emotional sense. With their own vaccine, the Russians have thwarted any future narrative by the west, that their population is a risk to their neighbours, and more importantly, have offered the vaccine to other countries, and in the process strengthened the growing coalition that’s in opposition to the cabal of elites in the west. Check. Not yet mate, but getting closer.
I certainly hope I can get to Europe or Russia to get the Sputnik V. Not that I want any jab whatsoever—I’d really prefer to take my chances with the virus than with any dodgy “vaccines” and have survived perfectly well without flu jabs—but if I need some kind of jab in order to be allowed live somewhat normally, I’ll go for the Sputnik. If I can get it.
Ian Rand said:
“That research has never really resulted in a marketable vaccine, because until March 2020, most people just accepted that if they got a cold, their immune system would fight it off. ”
I thought the reason that efforts to create a vaccine against the common cold was precisely because the virus mutates too quickly—but not for lack of trying or not wanting to create a vaccine. .
Of course, people generally recover from a cold and live to get another cold another day—or, maybe not. I must say that I have not been sick for a number of years. I think I did have a bad case of the flu in 2000 (I call it the Y2K flu) and then again in 2017. It pretty much knocked me, and quite a few others here-abouts, out for about two weeks of acute illness of every sort (deep cough, cararrh, extreme weakness, headache, no appetite, feeling nauseated, etc.) and about three more weeks to recover more or less normal strength. So I guess that was flu. But I haven’t been ill since then and i expect that illness gave me some good antibodies!!
Since attempts to create a coronavirus vaccine have failed for half a century, I don’t believe that they have suddenly come up with on in under a year. I think companies like Moderna have had this mRNA technology lying around for awhile now and are going to haul it out every chance they get.
https://www.modernatx.com/modernas-mrna-technology
I wondered as well. Why joining the club? I see no flu and would not take a vaccination, but if someone puts pressure on me (I was forced into a PCR test up the nose – at night water ran out) I would chose the Sputnik. These days I trust only the east.
It seems the tables have turned since the days of the cold war. Now Russia tells the truth more than we do.
Thanks for covering this historic move by President Putin
BTW you made it to the top of today’s briefing from Socha Faal!
https://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index3479.htm
You are welcome. This article has really blown up, much to my surprise. Thank you for the heads up!
I have posted a few places, not just this article but your link as well. People need reliable, and they need to do the research!
you still think the military cant crack
“”$&&9@@@ coin ?
Rule of thumb, all who eat their own God hates, figure it out.
Very good and informative summary, esp. diplomatic definition. I read the original translation courtesy a link in Pepe Escobar’s article.
There is a reset in process but its not going to be great for the people who control the US Federal Reserve Note. The FRN was the world reserve currency and that is the pinnacle. Thinking the people who ripped off the whole world are going to be allowed to control the next world reserve currency is beyond stupid.
The people in charge of the FRN have eventually been run off from every place that ever accepted them. This time they ripped off the whole world at the same time.
An old song comes to mind. No where to run no where to hide.
Zakusivat nado. We’re talking about a guy who has had how many journalists whacked? Delivered how many polonium sandwiches? It was my immigrant Russian teacher in SF who warned me about Putin back when he was allegedly our friend and ally.
Excellent commentary everyone
What a Statesman is! Long may reign as President of Russia. And, with charismatic Lavrov, what a Team!
Agreed. We’re given a fungus in a mask who wears depends.
I have much respect for fungi, they do good work every second. Perhaps a better comparison would be Biden = ____.
(Couldn’t think of anything as bad….just a blank.)
I am very thankful for your text and especially for your intro. I can not believe I had not heard about Putin’s speech. I left Europe as I see no reasonal thinking in the west anymore. I do not believe in the vaxxination nor in the great reset. I am afraid of the present and the future. To “listen” to president Putin gives me hope. You made my day Tom. Thank you.
You are very welcome sir!
Thanks for this , I am new to your Blog, but enjoyed it. I think I either surround myself with like minded people or people are starting to wake up. I hope the later, as RT was rather frightening this morning. Biden is very frightening.
You are welcome. Thanks for stopping by.
I can confirm that the Covid fear porn is losing its effect. Just went grocery shopping at my local Kroger without a mask on. Everyone else had a mask on, but no one said anything to me, not even the store workers.
I think that the Covid fear porn in America is still somewhat potent only in hyper-authoritarian cities such as NYC and the big Californian cities.
Yesterday I noticed three people out walking in the nice sunny weather *without masks*!! Not even draped around neck.
I recognized one lady who is a mere acquaintance and said, “Are you X?” She said, yes, I said, “Nice to see you!” (meaning, without your mask I can recognize who you are). She said the same.
Thank goodness for V.Putin …. Matthew Ehret writes: “Where one system promotes the trojan horse seeds of its own annihilation, the other promotes the seeds of fruitful new epochs of continual growth and discoveries both on the surface of the earth and also beyond […] While the Great Reset Architects are thoroughly committed to closed operating systems which demand computer models be imposed onto the world guiding a zero-growth policy towards total equilibrium and “entropy”, the multipolar alliance led by Xi and Putin are committed to “open system” thinking. […] Where the closed system/unipolar model demands the submission of governments to a totalitarian system of controls of “experts” who are “uniquely qualified” to control the diminishing rates of return of fixed resources, the open system/multipolar model demands a respect for sovereign nations and a focus upon the creation of new resources via scientific and technological progress. Where one is premised on a zero-sum game of win-lose behavior (aka: the survival of the fittest), the other is premised upon a non-zero-sum game of win-win cooperation. When confronted with ‘resource scarcity’ and ‘population growth’, closed system thinkers adopt a Malthusian view that population growth must be culled to adhere to mathematical models of “carrying capacity” in some imagined stated of “natural equilibrium” which said models demand must exist.”

Hope Putin does not send any nukes to Canadians. We don’t like our PM but what can we do.
