Praise for The Great Reset
“Marc Morano’s The Great Reset exposes the well-coordinated effort to crush human freedom under the guise of fighting COVID, climate change, and ‘misinformation.’ The book takes a deep dive into the global organizations and billionaires who are pushing for a leveling of human freedom under the guise of fighting permanent crises. Morano reveals how climate activists are eager to transition from COVID lockdowns into climate lockdowns and silence anyone who questions them. This book also lays out a vision for freedom-loving citizens to halt this dystopian vision of our future. A must-read for those who want to understand and fight back against rule by unelected ‘experts’ and bureaucrats.”
—Mark Levin, bestselling author and host of The Mark Levin Show and Life, Liberty, and Levin
“Whether you agree or disagree with Marc Morano, his book is one worth reading. Filled with extensive research, The Great Reset includes facts and information you can’t find anywhere else. Marc takes a deep dive and unpacks the questions surrounding our economy, the pandemic, and the effort to make a global society no matter the cost.”
—Sean Hannity, host of Hannity on Fox News and of the nationally syndicated radio program The Sean Hannity Show
“We have been sleepwalking into a dystopia. Those who would be our overlords haven’t even tried to hide their plans, yet most people have been weirdly quiescent. Marc Morano has written the Common Sense of our time. May it, like its eighteenth-century counterpart, awaken a spirit of resistance that overthrows tyrants and changes the world.”
—Thomas Woods, New York Times–bestselling author and winner of the Hayek Lifetime Achievement Award
“Marc Morano unpacks the lie that the U.S. government and its agencies and globalizing interests are interested in improving the health and welfare of the citizens that they control. He shows that the ‘covid’ and ‘climate change’ campaigns are glaring examples of actuating an improper agenda to control us more completely and to deprive us of expression, democratic influence, and resources.”
—Denis Rancourt, physicist, former professor and environmental science researcher at the University of Ottawa
“They really are coming to reset us. They want to remake the world in the image of their merciless god of Science. There will be no area of life that will not fall under their god’s sway. This sounds absurd—until you read Morano’s Great Reset book and see that this is what they openly, loudly, and stridently, desire.”
—William M. Briggs, statistician, former professor at the Cornell Medical School, and coauthor of The Price of Panic: How the Tyranny of Experts Turned a Pandemic into a Catastrophe
“At least when George Orwell wrote about dystopian society, it was fiction. But as Marc Morano makes clear in his brilliantly detailed Great Reset, there are those working actively today to bring about a real world where only the select few rule at the top and the rest exist to serve. Read Marc Morano’s The Great Reset to see the full breathtaking scope of the Left’s global battlefield so as to fight effectively for individual rights and, hopefully, win.”
—Cheryl Chumley, online opinion editor at the Washington Times and bestselling author of Lockdown: The Socialist Plan to Take Away Your Freedom
“Across the wide world, Marc Morano knows more than anyone the plans of the powerful who subscribe to the globalist and climate cults. The reader learns of a dystopian coup in the making before it turns from a forbidden conspiracy theory into an irreversible system combining the evils of old communism (into which I was born), cancel culture, and Covid-type lockdowns. This transformation can be prevented if enough readers become familiar with the key scientific facts as well as the pseudo-scientific hysterical attack on them and on prosperity and freedom.”
—Luboš Motl, physicist and former faculty member at Harvard University
“Morano exposes how the Davos crowd wants to impose permanent lockdowns on the unwashed masses—that’s you and me—and how they are maneuvering to transition COVID lockdowns into climate lockdowns. Morano reveals how doctors are now diagnosing patients with ‘climate change’ and adding ‘climate change’ as a cause of death on death certificates. This book will be your go-to source on how the global agenda is not about controlling viruses or the climate but about controlling you. Help keep George Orwell fiction, read this book and fight back!”
—James Delingpole, host of the legendary Delingpod podcast and author of Watermelons: How Environmentalists Are Killing the Planet, Destroying the Economy and Stealing Your Children’s Future
“For years Marc Morano has been my ‘go-to’ source when I want information that counters the politicized science of ‘climate change.’ In his new book, he shows us how bureaucrats and elites are imposing their worldview without our permission and even knowledge. It’s another warning sign that if we don’t fight back against this subtle evil we will be forced to submit to it.”
—Cal Thomas, nationally syndicated columnist
This book is dedicated to those who refused to comply and asserted their universal human yearning for freedom from government oppression. Kudos to the parent resistance that welled up in local school districts against mask mandates, to the mass resistance to lockdowns, to the rejection of censorship, to the open defiance of vaccine passports, and to those who refused to acquiesce to the “new normal” being imposed upon the world without the consent of the governed.
You walk into this room at your own risk because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super-states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
—Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone
Foreword by Sebastian Gorka
I can remember it now. It was a chilly November night. I was nineteen years old. And my parents and I watched the old-school cathode-ray tube TV transfixed. We were watching the fall of the Iron Curtain. Live.
“Fall” is not the right word, however. The wall that had been built by the brutal East German Communist regime to keep its “citizens” from escaping to freedom didn’t collapse in some passive sense like a rotten, punked-out tree in a humid bayou swamp. It was being dismantled piece by piece by the captive people of East Berlin. Using hand tools.
November 9, 1989, was all the more significant for our family given that my parents were living in exile, political refugees from Communism themselves. My father had been liberated from a political prison where he was serving a life sentence for resisting the Hungarian dictatorship as a young Christian university student. My mother, the daughter of another political prisoner, was seventeen years old when she escaped to the West, holding the hand of my father, her future husband, as they crossed the minefield into neutral Austria, as Soviet troops were crushing the Hungarian Revolution back in Budapest.
They had made a new life in England, where I was born and raised, and they were convinced that they would die in exile, with their family members still trapped behind the Iron Curtain. And here we were watching formerly enslaved people liberate themselves as the border guard troops of an ossified and utterly morally bankrupt regime just watched in stupefaction.
To give credit where credit is due, it was actually the Hungarians who had inflicted the first chink in the armor of the Communist system and the Warsaw Pact. Two months earlier, the “reform” Communist regime in Budapest had allowed East German tourists to leave Hungary into Austria, without the acquiescence of Honecker’s Communist government in East Berlin. The mass exodus of funny little Trabant cars from East to West was the beginning of the end for Karl Marx’s “workers’ paradise.” In the months and years to come, barbed-wire border regimes would be cut, the Berlin Wall would be breached, and free elections would be held in state after state until, finally, on Christmas Day 1991, the Soviet Union, which had enslaved millions and murdered millions, dissolved itself, and the Cold War was won. It was the greatest Christmas gift the Gorka family had ever received.
But did we actually win?
Recent events have sadly reaffirmed that the spirit of Marx is less of a ghost and more of an implacable and insatiable zombie that simply will not stop in its genocidal mission.
There are, of course, the remaining Communist regimes. From Cuba, to North Korea, to China with its forced-labor camps, state-sanctioned organ harvesting, and COVID “research” facilities, more than one and a half billion souls live under a red flag, trapped by a truly demonic ideology that has taken the lives of more than 100 million human beings since the Winter Palace was stormed in 1917. Communism is very much still alive for those living in these prison states. Then there is what we should call the “new Communism,” or what my wife and muse, Katie Gorka, has labelled the “Next-Gen Marxists.”
The end of the Cold War should have assigned Socialism to the “ash heap of history” in the West. Instead it has transmogrified and metastasized. Thanks to the invidious influence of Foucault’s apostles, the Frankfurt School, the New Left, the Alinsky-ites, and the likes of Zinn, Chomsky, and Moore, the ideas of Marx are more popular in the West than they ever have been before. How is this possible? Well the answer to that question is lengthy and multifaceted, deserving of its own book. (Please don’t tell our publisher, Re
I will forever owe a debt of gratitude to Marc Morano for his service in providing me the intellectual ammunition to puncture the propaganda of the Climate Change extremists. I had grown up listening to one after another of the catastrophic Cassandras lecturing free people on the coming Ice Age, neo-Malthusian overpopulation, Ozone Depletion, Acid Rain, and “Climate Change,” but it was Marc’s seminal book The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change that became my intellectual armory of actual science and real data on how carbon dioxide is not a pollutant but actually the fuel for life and how the world is NOT going to end in twelve years (sorry AOC, it’s not).
But the old watermelon of environmentalist cultism—green on the outside, deep Commie red on the inside—is old news. With the rise of anti-democratic institutions like the World Economic Forum and the radical activism of unaccountable billionaires like Bill Gates and George Soros, allied to the insatiable greed for power of COVID lockdown–drunk politicians, we are facing a new Devil’s brew, a concatenation of forces who want to control all aspects of your life, from what you are allowed to eat, to what mode of transport you are allowed to use, and even the words you are permitted to utter. The Great Reset is real. The Great Reset is the greatest threat to your liberty since that wall fell over thirty years ago. You need to understand what its propagators intend for you and your family, and you need to get engaged and stop them. Now read on!

CHAPTER 1 The Great Reset
What is the Great Reset? A true dystopian nightmare where every aspect of your existence is observed and regulated by unseen bureaucrats—all for your own good. The Great Reset is the long-planned reorganization of the world imposed by technocratic global elites.
With COVID-19, the Great Reset is becoming a reality.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has called for “a Great Reset of capitalism” in response to COVID—and to help fight climate change. The World Economic Forum is very blunt about its utopian Great Reset vision.
“The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world to create a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future,” WEF founding chairman Klaus Schwab wrote in June 2020. “Populations have overwhelmingly shown a willingness to make sacrifices.”
“The changes we have already seen in response to COVID-19 prove that a reset of our economic and social foundations is possible…. The world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions,” Schwab explained. “Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”1
Maurice Newman, a former advisor to Australian prime minister Tony Abbott, explained what this really means: “Stripped of the propaganda, the Great Reset is not new. It’s another fascist experiment being pushed by controlling elitists. Economic growth and social mobility must be subordinate to the collective…. Think inequality, serfdom and misery.”2
The unprecedented suspension of liberties in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has emboldened the forces behind the Great Reset to achieve their centrally planned vision: monitoring, planning, censoring, crushing dissent, controlling the lives of the masses for our “safety”—all in the name of “The Science.” The very real threat of oppressive rule by unelected experts in government is now threatening to engulf the world in the wake of the COVID lockdowns, “phased re-openings,” vaccine passports, contact tracing, mask mandates, capacity limits, bans on church services and social gatherings, stay-at-home orders, and travel restrictions. Citizens of once-free Western democracies faced limits on where and when they could go out—subject to the whims of government bureaucrats. These drastic limits on our liberties were put in place largely without legislative votes or public hearings. In addition, climate-inspired energy regulations, massive government spending, supply chain issues, food shortages, debt, out-of-control crime in major cities, spiraling inflation, wars, and economic “degrowth” all helped create the perfect pandemonium to empower the forces of the Great Reset.
“You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy.” That is the utopian vision of the WEF and its founder Klaus Schwab. “Whatever you want you’ll rent and it’ll be delivered by drone.” Meat will be “an occasional treat,” the WEF prognosticated in a 2016 video (which has since been deleted from their website).3
The WEF chose the year 2030 as the date by which their vision will be imposed on the world. “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better,” said a 2017 tweet from the WEF.

“Flu d’État”
COVID-19 gave the world a chance to see the never-let-a-crisis-go-to-waste strategy in action.
As healthcare journalist Peter Barry Chowka observed at the American Thinker, “There’s been what I’ve called a flu d’état—a takeover of our supposedly democratic political process by unelected and unaccountable administrative state medical bureaucrats who are deeply and permanently embedded in the system of modern medicine—a collection of businesses that now consumes about twenty percent of the Gross National Product.”6
“I’m Selfish?”
“You force others to inject themselves with dangerous substances so YOU can feel safe.
“You force others to cover their source of oxygen for months so YOU can feel safe.
“You force others to lose their jobs and retirements so YOU can feel safe.
“You force others to stay home so YOU can feel safe.”
—meme circulating the internet in 20207
According to Chowka, “Overnight, our society is doing what radical leftist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her fellow Green New Deal fanatics have demanded: An almost total end to air travel; personal automobile travel down to a trickle; promises of free health care for all quickly becoming the new status quo; and the ability of people to sit at home without working and receive a paycheck from the government. The Democrats want that to continue indefinitely.”
COVID-19 “is being politically weaponized, including as part of a much larger agenda that fast tracks a global system of surveillance, medical mandates, and control,” Chowka added. “Will the Covid-19 PsyOp succeed?” he asked.
American life was transformed after COVID came on the scene. Citizens of America and other countries across the globe were suddenly told they had to stay at home. The public health bureaucracies mandated that people could leave their homes only for approved “essential services,” and Americans saw the imposition of government curfews. We were banned from attending weddings and funerals and barred from hosting backyard barbeques. If you dared rebel, your neighbors—in a practice borrowed from the now defunct Eastern European communist nations—could snitch on you to the government, and they would get rewarded, while you could have public utilities like water and electricity cut off for your disobedience.8
A Dystopian Future
“The year is 2043. Covid variant phi beta epsilon is ravaging 0.0026% of the population, you go outside for your government mandated 30 minute exercise, it’s 1 a.m. not the best time, but they alternate your schedule so eventually everyone does get some sunlight. You quadruple mask and put on your plastic helmet. You gaze longingly at the sky. A man riding his bicycle points his flashlight at you ‘Why aren’t you doing your stretches and cardio?’ He asks, you recognize him as your neighbor (maybe, it’s been some time since you last saw anyone). ‘It’s because of people like you not obeying that the lockdowns have been extended another 4 years.’ He mumbles through his layers of masks. He reports you to AlphabetGoogle and your social credit score drops 5 points, good luck buying bread this week.” —internet meme circulating in 20219
