NEOM, the undercover company we should watch out for
Is the World Economic Forum and NEOM gearing up to turn The Great Reset into a reality?

Some of you might have heard about The Line, which is being built in Saudi Arabia. This new urban city may have gained traction for its striking visual image, but there is a bigger story behind the company building it. Let's introduce NEOM, the company behind the new smart city, both a location and an enterprise. Could this be a deadly combo?
The company, NEOM, was announced in January 2019 and is solely owned by the Public Investment Fund. The Public Investment Fund is a Saudi Arabian fund that is among the world's most significant sovereign wealth funds totaling about $620 billion. NEOM is one of three companies under Vision2030 put forth by Saudi Arabia; however, it is their most ambitious. In a video by NEOM, they showcase their progress as of January 2023. This video talked about their “master plan” and how much they have already accomplished. This list started with an overview of their two high-end luxury resorts, one on an island, Sindalah, and one in the mountains, Trojena. They also mentioned The Line, which will soon be built as they described their flagship city.
The list continues as they show their center for advanced industries, Oxagon, their new technology and digital company Tonomus, their first-class sustainable energy and water systems, and the world's largest green hydrogen production plant. Oxagon will build industries and plants that turn brine, the largest waste output of desalination, into industrial materials that can be used or exported. This video is not over yet… They talk about their $175 million investment into Volocopter, a company creating flying transportation for daily lives.
They have also teamed up with McClaren for a new electric racing car and media and film companies such as BBC, NBC, Apple TV, and OceanX to explore areas such as the bottom of the red sea. Finally, they hosted the NEOM beach games, where athletes from 25 countries participated and were awarded the Asian Winter Games of 2029.
This was a very long and impressive list built only over the last four years. They have created a place that can be fully self-sustaining and have all the “best” parts of our lives. However, these so-called perfect lives would only exist for residents that obey those in power. Who would be in control, you may ask? Well, this entire company is owned and funded by the prime minister of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman. Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) was accused of ordering the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Agents of the Saudi government assassinated a Saudi dissident journalist at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. He opposed the agenda of the Saudi Arabian government, and he paid the price in his life. MBS was never officially charged because he acquired the new status of prime minister granting him immunity. There is a tribal community that has been on the land for centuries that is now planned to be used for The Line. One of these tribesmen made videos protesting the evictions — videos of a critical sort; as you might imagine, MBS was not very happy. MBS seemed to use his immunity again as the tribesman was shot dead last year in a confrontation with Saudi security forces.
The Saudi Arabian government announced they would give 500 billion dollars to the NEOM project; however, more is needed. NEOM is expecting a lot more funding to come from other investors. If only there were a big meeting of deep-pocket investors that get together every year and talk about where to invest their money. Oh, wait! There is! The World Economic Forum. NEOM is a partner with the World Economic Forum, and Mohammed Bin Salem spoke at the January 2023 annual meeting.
The theme of this meeting was “Cooperation in a Fragmented World,” talking about the effect of covid-19 and what to do next. In an article put out by World Economic Forum themselves, they focus on one project, The Line, emphasizing that the apparent answer to ignite the global urbanism movement is the pandemic. “With COVID-19 and its variants keeping everyone home, the 15-minute city went from a “nice-to-have” to a rallying cry. Meeting all of one’s needs within a walking, biking, or transit distance was suddenly a matter of life and death”. They are using the pandemic to instill fear and convince the public that a utopian society of total control is the perfect solution.
One of the well-known “plans” created by the World Economic Forum (WEF) was The Great Reset, the WEF’s grand plan to recover from the pandemic. According to May 15, 2020, WEF article, COVID-19 offers an opportunity to "reset and reshape" the world in a way that is more aligned with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The Great Resets is a plan to take advantage of the weak economy and give power to people like MBS. With their self-sufficient cities, murders of anyone who speaks negatively about them, and rumors of their digital currency (which they could have total control over), could this be their subtle attempt at The Great Reset? With most cities being technology-based and AI-monitored, they are constantly watching and collecting data on every resident within their control.
These seemingly cool projects could have a larger agenda behind them. One frightening thing is that it is not in the mainstream media, especially in the U.S. The few articles out there usually only discuss The Line and its technological aspect. They have built so much to create this “new world” but have gotten around the backlash that some reporters/people may have if they were to know more about it.
