Technocracy: The Digital Panopticon Of The World Economic Forum

• https://www.technocracy.news, By Jacob Nordangard

A week before World Economic Forum's 2020 meeting, the report Unlocking Technology for the Global Goals was released by WEF's Global Future Council Working Group on 4IR for Global Public Goods. The report, written in collaboration with the audit and consulting firm PwC, reviews how the advanced technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) will contribute to meeting the objectives of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.

The work is part of WEF's new initiative Frontier 2030, led by Danish Anne Marie Engtoft Larsen (who also contributed to Klaus Schwab's book Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution). Noteworthy is that six of the seven main authors of the report are women. Big Mother coming to our rescue?

The world, if all goes according to plan, is to be completely transformed over the course of a decade. Just like Maurice Strong at the first Stockholm Conference in 1972, the United Nations claims that we have "only ten years" to save the world, and both the UN and WEF have dubbed the next ten years the Decade of Action.
