In today’s #vatnik soup, I’ll be discussing one of the most resilient and widespread conspiracies out there: World Economic Forum (WEF), The Great Reset and the “New World Order”.

WEF is a lobbying organization founded by Klaus Schwab (@ProfKlausSchwab) in the 70s... 1/10

One of the first countries where this conspiracy spread quickly was Canada. A British journalist Oliver Kamm has stated that the Great Reset conspiracy theory has been widely disseminated by Russian disinformation channels. It is especially popular on sites like 4chan.
