Vivek Slams Great Reset, Globalism, World Economic Forum & UN

Businessman and 2024 GOP presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy is the “number one opponent” of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its Great Reset agenda in the United States, the candidate said in an interview with The New American magazine. He also argued that there were “good reasons to exit” the United Nations.

Speaking with this writer after his talk at Camp Constitution in New Hampshire, where the candidate praised other GOP hopefuls and told young campers that America’s best days were still ahead, Ramaswamy slammed Klaus Schwab’s WEF for using his image on its website without permission. “I respectfully told them I declined their award,” he said. “They refused to listen, so I sued them. I believe in taking action. I tend to win when I do.”

“The same thing with respect to any of these other globalist agendas,” continued the candidate, who trails Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis but is ahead of other GOP hopefuls in polls so far. “I think there’s been nobody else in the country in the last four years before this was popular that even exposed what was happening. And I understand how that game is played: I exposed it, now I’m fighting against it.”

Ramaswamy also explained that he has put his money where his mouth is, even starting a company to compete against what he described as the “ESG industrial complex.” ESG refers to Environmental, Social, and Governance corporate metrics peddled by social engineers including BlackRock seeking to have businesses focus on goals other than profit for shareholders. The concept that has become a lightning rod among critics of “woke” business.

Asked about the WEF’s highly controversial “Great Reset” scheme first exposed in these pages in the summer of 2020 when it was announced by Schwab and other self-styled global leaders, Ramaswamy said this was “the old-world monarchy rearing its head again.” “I say the response to the Great Reset is the Great Uprising,” he continued. “That is what we are leading.”

“The Great Reset says we need to dissolve the boundaries between the public sector and the private sector — to do through the backdoor what governments could not do through the front door,” added Ramaswamy. “The Great Uprising says, ‘no, no, no, no — We The People decide how we sort out our differences, as citizens of nations.’ I stand on the side of the uprising.” 

Continuing on the subject of globalism and globalist institutions, the founder of Strive Asset Management addressed the UN. “This will make a lot of people mad. I think there are good reasons to exit the UN,” he said. “When you have the Human Rights Commission staffed by representatives of Venezuela and North Korea, it has become a farce and a hollowed-out husk.”

The UN, like many government agencies domestically, “should have been a taskforce,” said Ramaswamy. “It has now become a permanent institution. The things that should have been taskforces that become permanent institutions, that’s a mistake,” he said. “And so I am shutting down the administrative state at home, but I’m going to do the same thing with respect to these multilateral institutions abroad.”    

A growing number of conservative leaders, including former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and many members of the U.S. House of Representatives have called for exiting the UN in recent decades. In fact, legislation to do that, known as the American Sovereignty Restoration Act, has been filed in almost every Congress for decades. Polls also show escalating public frustration with the global entity.   

Ramaswamy said that even though some well-meaning Republicans were advocating reform, he took a different approach. “I don’t believe in reform, I believe in revolution,” he said. “I think this is a moment that calls for revolution, not reform, because reform is not going to get it done.”

Ramaswamy, who comes from a Hindu background and is reportedly a practicing polytheist but whose campaign platform includes “God is real,” was also asked about his views on the Bible and America’s Christian heritage. “There is no doubt our Constitution was made for a moral people,” he said. “And I agree with the values of the Bible. I want to revive those ideals. Many other Republicans are squeamish about it. Not me.” 

Critics of Ramaswamy have raised concerns about his college scholarship funded by a member of the Soros family, his pharma interests, in addition to questions about whether the candidate is a natural-born citizen, as his parents were reportedly citizens of India at his birth.

The New American magazine is currently working with the Ramaswamy campaign to secure a longer interview to delve deeper into these and other critical issues facing the nation. Stay tuned for updates!
