So I give this a three because there is a lot of writings of another author however his depiction of Klaus Schwab is right on. Klaus is trying to destroy our beautiful planet then preserve it and while his writings may sound wonderful, they are not. Ie. Eventually humans will eat bugs and be happy. I am happy eating meat,I am happy eating veggies, I am happy not having people like Klaus Schwab interrupt my life, while he is living on his high and mighty horse. But that’s for another day.

I’ve enjoyed listening to Alex Jones for many years, I’m not saying I believe everything he says, especially the weird outlandish stuff, but I enjoy the way he says it. Though I always have to turn off when he starts making outlandish claims against people that have lost their children in horrific massacres.
This book starts off great, he comes across as a free thinker, but then he starts with the contradictory stuff, he claims to be anti globalist, but then attacks the anti globalist environmental movement. Big business and most governments are anti environmental, and so is Alex Jones, seems odd. He claims to be for people, and anti big business, if that’s the case why is he repeating their lies? He then claims to be pro people demonstrating against big business and the governments they’ve bought, but then attacks these demonstrations as some weird Jewish/communist plot. Equal rights for all sexes and all races is apparently part of the Jewish/globalist/communist plan to keep us in control? It’s like when he goes into the governments being corrupt and bought and paid for by big business, this is 100% fact, but then he bizarrely contradicts himself and starts cheerleading for the republicans!? It’s truly bizarre. And it’s why many think he’s a bought and paid for “shill”, and I understand where they’re coming from.
The chapter where he quotes Harari then purposefully misconstrues what he’s just read was very weird, and was quite irritating to read. In reality what Harari actually says and thinks is very close to many of Alex’s views, so the attacks came across as very childish, and worrying, does he really have fans that can be that easily told what to think?
If he was a true free thinker I think he’d have a lot more followers, but I doubt he’d make as much money, which is why I think he goes off in the pro right contradictory hyperbole. I personally think he probably is a free thinker, and knows the contradictory stuff is lies, but knows it keeps a lot of his followers interested and buying his stuff. Everyone knows preaching hate of others is a very easy way to keep followers and make money.
The ethos of a true free thinker is “no gods, no masters”, in this book he seems to start like that, but by the end he’s the exact opposite.

Alex Jones is a bit too normie as he builds up Klaus Shwab as the supervillain of the world, ignoring CEOs of media companies that are destroying our societal morals and culture. This is what is making it so easy for this "Great Reset" to take place, but Alex solely focuses on Shawb and the WEF. He mentions Disney and other companies, who owns them Alex?
In his chapter on how the Ukraine Russia war is affecting our food supply, he never hints at who is profiting from this war. He never says what the true motivations were behind the conflict. Instead, he uses the WEF like a boogeyman to theorise how they're going to control our food in the future. And that's great, they probably are, but there is so much detail left out of the picture.
This book is about one thing, bringing people's attention to the WEF in the hopes they do some further reading. It's a good book, but I feel like it just scratched the surface of everything that is going on. If he rewrote this in 2024, with the ongoing Palestinian genocide and other wars in the middle east, and after the two assassination attempts on President Trump, I think Alex would have a lot more to say about what is actually happening.

Having followed Alex Jones for more than a decade, I can confidently state that he is not a dishonest person. He and Tucker Carlson are among the very few media personalities who still stand up for the truth.
He revealed the terrible schemes of the elites,
particularly Klaus Schwab, and it was
fascinating.
Alex did a fantastic job, and his writing is well
researched. Why it took me this long to finish reading it is beyond me.

In The Great Reset, controversial figure Alex Jones pens a short but sprawling work that describes globalist machinations for the world using a collection of influential figures own words from books, speeches, and interviews, and responds to these claims and assertions with his own commentary and analysis of the situation. Much of The Great Reset is in direct response to claims made by World Economic Forum Chairman Klaus Schwab and other powerful figures such as "Sapiens" author Yuval Noah Harari and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, outlining their view of humanities current position and where they wish the future of humanity to progress. These rich movers and thinkers believe that humanity would be best kept fearful and tightly monitored, under intense surveillance and beholden to big government and bigger business. That these people seem to openly idolize dystopias like those found in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World or James Cameron's Terminator, and have no shortage of praise for communist China is quite disturbing, and the sway these people have over world governments and business is disturbing to say the least. Admittedly, the ample quotations of varying quality throughout The Great Reset can make for exhausting reading. Sometimes I felt that there were several books that I probably should have read before -- by Schwab, Harari, and others, because the book feels like a series of responses to their material, almost a collection of academic style reviews instead of Jones-style energetic monologues on various conspiratorial topics. The Great Reset is at its best when Jones's voice and wry sense of humor informs, commentates, and describes the situation of the world in candid, sincere, often heartfelt terms. Jones does not dress up his writing to be more than it is and restrains himself from making claims too bold to support with citation. In fact, for the bombastic Alex Jones, the whole book feels restrained and admittedly I wish he leaned more on his radio personality at times. It is nice that Jones cites his work with endnotes and is always sure to support his claims with quotations, but at times this can be overwhelming when pages of text are dominated by quotations of authors of varying quality. As I received the book as a birthday gift from a friend and paid nothing for it, I can say with confidence that I got my money's worth, although I do not think I would pay the nearly 50 CAD it goes for presently. It is a book worth maybe half that price or alternatively picked up as a library loan -- read for its information and then passed along. I would also say it is probably a book best read periodically instead of all at once as the book can feel exhausting and repetitive when read in large chunks. It is almost hard to imagine Alex Jones sitting down to write this book (or in this case, sitting down and working with a co-writer), but the proof is in the pages and one can frequently hear (read) his recognizable cadence come through. I imagine the audiobook of this would be quite enjoyable. Though undoubtedly the words in The Great Reset will probably ruffle some feathers, I have my doubts that anyone who would be bothered by what Jones says would even pick this book up in the first place. It is a worthwhile read by a dedicated alternative journalist, food ration and supplement salesman that speaks to the ongoing information crisis of our day.
Since I've written so much about the quotations throughout the book, I thought it would be funny to end this review with a quotation where Jones's voice shines.
Alex Jones compares globalist's current plans to "transition" from fossil fuels to green energy to a plan to jump off your roof and land safely onto thousands of pillows, except the pillows haven't arrived yet:
"You've been cheering about 'transitioning' from the roof to the ground for so long that you jump anyway. The 'transition' turns into a transfer to the emergency room, and the doctor wonders why you're stupid enough to jump off a roof, if you knew the pillows weren't there. This is exactly what we're doing. The idiocy is so glaring that the only way it makes sense is if you understand the larger plan for the Great Reset. Why else would you be dangerously jumping off roofs without a fail plan?" (P.159-160)
