World Economic Forum (WEF) Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab has proposed using the overreaction to coronavirus to launch a worldwide "Great Reset."
世界經濟論壇（WEF）的創始人兼執行主席克勞斯·施瓦布（Klaus Schwab）提議利用社會對新冠病毒的過度反應來發動被稱為「大重置」的全球性政治運動。
This Great Reset is about expanding government power and suppressing liberty worldwide.
「大重置」運動的真實目的是要在全球範圍內擴大政府的權力和壓制人民的自由。
Schwab envisions an authoritarian system where big business acts as a partner with government. Big business would exercise its government-granted monopoly powers to maximize value for "stakeholders," instead of shareholders. Stakeholders include the government, international organizations, the business itself, and "civil society."
施瓦佈設想的未來是一個威權主義的體系。在那種體系下，大企業與政府的形成合作夥伴關係。大企業將行使政府授予的壟斷權力，以最大化“利益相關者”而不是股東的價值。利益相關者包括政府，國際組織，企業本身和所謂的“公民社會”。
Of course, government bureaucrats and politicians, together with powerful special interests, will decide who are, and are not, stakeholders, what is in stakeholders’ interest, and what steps corporations must take to maximize stakeholder value.
當然，官僚、政客、和強大的特殊利益團體將決定誰是利益相關者，以及誰不是利益相關者，什麼是利益相關者的利益，以及公司為了使利益相關者價值最大化而需要採取的步驟。
People’s own wishes are not the priority.
人民的願望不是他們的優先考慮。
The Great Reset will dramatically expand the surveillance state via real-time tracking.
「大重置」將通過實時跟監，極大地強化「監視之國」。
It will also mandate that people receive digital certificates in order to travel and even technology implanted in their bodies to monitor them.
「大重置」還將要求旅客必須先獲得數字證書才能通行。這種數字證書甚至可以是他們植入體內的監控設備。
Included in Schwab’s proposal for surveillance is his idea to use brain scans and nanotechnology to predict, and if necessary, prevent, individuals’ future behavior.
施瓦布的建議中還包括他的個人想法：使用大腦掃描和納米技術來預測並在必要時防止每個人的未來行為。
This means that anyone whose brain is "scanned" could have his Second Amendment and other rights violated because a government bureaucrat determines the individual is going to commit a crime.
這意味著，祗要政府官員認為此人將會犯罪，大腦被“掃描”的任何人的（美國憲法）第二修正案權利和其他權利都可能受到侵犯。
The system of tracking and monitoring could be used to silence those expressing "dangerous" political views, such as that the Great Reset violates our God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
施瓦布的建議的跟監系統可以用來使那些表達“危險”政治觀點的人噤聲，例如任何認為「大重置」侵犯了我們由上帝賦予的生命、自由、和追求幸福的權力的人。
The Great Reset involves a huge expansion of the welfare state via a universal basic income program.
「大重置」還涉及通過普遍基本收入計劃（UBI）極大地強化福利國家。
This can help ensure compliance with the Great Reset’s authoritarian measures.
普遍基本收入可以確保人民屈服於「大重置」的威權主義措施。
It will also be very expensive.
「大重置」也將非常昂貴。
The resulting increase in government debt will not be seen as a problem by people who believe in modern monetary theory. This is the latest version of the fairy tale that deficits don’t matter as long as the Federal Reserve monetizes the debt.
雖然相信現代貨幣理論的人會擔心由此增加的政府債務問題，但是「大重置」的提倡者們不認為這是一個問題。這是這些提倡者兜售的童話的最新版本：祗要美聯儲將債務貨幣化（譯者按：也就是靠央行印錢來支付政府債務），赤字多大都沒有關係。
The Great Reset ultimately will fail for the same reason all other attempts by government to control the market fail. As Ludwig von Mises showed, government interference in the marketplace distorts the price system.
與政府企圖控制市場的此前所有嘗試相同，「大重置」這一政治運動必將失敗。正如路德維希·馮·米塞斯（Ludwig von Mises）所解釋的那樣，政府對市場的干預扭曲了價格系統。
Prices are how information about the value of goods and services related to other goods and services is conveyed to market actors.
價格是市場將商品和服務的相對價值傳遞給市場參與者信號。
Government interference in the marketplace disturbs the signals sent by prices, leading to an oversupply of certain goods and services and an undersupply of others.
一旦政府干預市場，就會擾亂價格信號，從而導致某些商品和服務過剩，而另一些商品和服務短缺。
The lockdowns show the dangers of government control over the economy and our personal lives. Lockdowns have increased unemployment, caused many small businesses to close, and led to more substance abuse, domestic violence, and suicide.
（為了對付新冠病毒而採取的）封城措施凸顯了政府控制經濟和個人生活的危險性。封城增加了失業，導致許多小商戶倒閉，並且增加了藥物濫用、家庭暴力、和自殺。
We are told the lockdowns are ordered because of a virus that poses no great danger to a very large percentage of the American public. Yet, instead of adopting a different approach, politicians are doubling down on the failed policies of masks and lockdowns.
政府告訴我們，下令封城是因為有新冠病毒。然而，新冠病毒對很大比例的美國公眾並不構成重大健康威脅。然而，政客們對與不依靠封城的防疫措施沒有興趣，反而加倍採取了不很成功的「蒙面法」和封城措施。
Meanwhile, big tech companies, which are already often acting as partners of government, silence anyone who questions the official line regarding the threat of coronavirus or the effectiveness of lockdowns, masks, and vaccines.
同時，在大部分時候已經是政府合作夥伴大型科技公司，封禁任何在新冠病毒的健康威脅、封城、口罩、疫苗這些話題上發表與政府口徑不一致的人。
The disastrous response to COVID-19 is just the latest example of how those who give up liberty for safety or health will end up unfree, unsafe, and unhealthy.
對社會造成了很大傷害的COVID-19疫情應對反應，祗能說是驗證以下原則的一個最新例子：那些為了安全和健康而放棄自由的人，最終得到的祗會是不自由、不安全、和不健康。
Instead of a Great Reset of authoritarianism, we need a great rebirth of liberty.
我們需要的一場自由的偉大復興，而不是一場回歸威權主義的「大重置」運動。

>> 賴索托跟南極是個好地方
這位義士這樣陰陽怪氣的是什麼意思。古時亞伯拉罕和他的追隨者們面臨的處境比現在嚴重多了。當時索多瑪和俄摩拉那些被權力和財富沖昏頭腦的諸王，由於認為亞伯拉罕所提倡的自由和道德是一種價值觀威脅，於是不僅驅逐任何膽敢談論亞伯拉罕主張的人，而且還禁止亞伯拉罕的追隨者來迦南地區出售羊毛、羊肉、羊奶等（亞伯拉罕族的主要經商產品）。
亞伯拉罕和他的追隨者們在高山上的城塞堅持自己所嚮往的自由與道德的生活方式，被迦南低地的諸王孤立和打擊了五百多年。最後還不是一場「大洪水」，使低地的人們陷入了遍地人吃人的慘狀，然後亞伯拉罕的後裔凱旋地回到迦南地區，成為了以色列的王族。
我們所經歷的紅禍，才幾十年吧。

這肯定是。當然即使是內戰也不能單打獨鬥。「上帝、祖國、家庭」。當年的黎巴嫩長槍黨靠的不祗是勇武，而是專注於構建自身以「上帝、祖國、家庭」為價值觀的小共同體，才在黎巴嫩內戰中擊敗了中共和蘇聯所支持的巴解組織。
