Joe Biden’s chief climate officer and deputy assistant administrator at the U.S. Agency for International Development was a fellow at the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, which was founded by World Economic Forum Chairman Klaus Schwab.

Biden’s USAID climate chief, Gillian Caldwell, has significant influence over the White House’s climate and energy policy, which the World Economic Forum (WEF) has pointed to as a key element of its Great Reset agenda.

The WEF has not only been accused by its detractors of seeking to use the COVID-19 outbreak to advance big government, but also of advocating the abolition of private property under the guise of combating climate change.

Caldwell was a Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship fellow in 2001, earning an “all expenses paid participation at the World Economic Forum in Davos annually,” per her resume. 

The Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship was founded by WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab in 1998 and is run by his wife, Hilde.

Caldwell’s resume also notes that in addition to attending several WEF events, she has been tagged as a blogger by the organization.

Many of the blog posts Caldwell authored from 2006 center around panels she attended and influential figures she spoke with while at the WEF.

“Day 1 at the World Economic Forum. I attended a session this morning on how we did as a global community in the last year in the areas identified as top priorities by Davos attendees last year: poverty, equitable globalization, climate change, education, global governance, and the Middle East,” she wrote.

Before becoming part of the Biden White House, Caldwell was a consultant for various left-wing entities, including Arabella Advisors, which has deep ties to George Soros. She was also a Strategy Consultant for the Robin Hood Foundation, to which Soros has donated millions of dollars.

“Gillian serves as the Chief Climate Officer and is responsible for directing and overseeing all climate and environment work across the agency. She also serves as Deputy Assistant Administrator, overseeing DDI’s Center for Environment, Energy, and Infrastructure and the Office of Environmental and Social Risk Management,” reads Caldwell’s professional bio on USAID’s website.

The USAID has previously funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, believed by many to be the source of COVID-19.

In a World Economic Forum-produced video touting its Great Reset, the group says that (if it gets its way) by 2030, “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.”

“Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed,” Schwab wrote about the Great Reset in an article online. “In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”

Arabella Advisors, to which Caldwell also has ties, has recently come under scrutiny for its role in moving dark money around to left-wing politicians and causes.

Founded in 2005 by Eric Kessler, a Clinton administration official, Arabella is made up of five nonprofits — the New Venture Fund, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the Hopewell Fund, the Windward Fund, and the North Fund.

Per Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of the conservative Americans for Public Trust, the Sixteen Thirty Fund alone donated more than $60 million to Democratic PACs and Biden.

The activities of these dark money organizations run afoul of U.S. federal election law, which prohibits foreign nationals from directly or indirectly spending in elections.

One of the main donors to Arabella and other Soros-tied groups is Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, who is neither a U.S. citizen nor a permanent resident and is therefore a foreign national under the law.

“We know that for years Wyss has funneled millions of dollars to left-wing nonprofits that boost Democratic turnout and provide partisan campaign strategy,” said Hayden Ludwig, a senior investigative researcher at the conservative think tank Capital Research Center.

“By weaponizing charitable groups for political gain, he’s effectively bypassed campaign finance restrictions barring non-citizens from meddling in American elections. Given how much money the Left commanded in 2018 and 2020, I’d expect Wyss to continue pouring huge sums into these leftist groups in 2022 and beyond,” Ludwig added.

Caldwell’s ties to some of the most powerful globalists begs the question: Who’s really calling the shots in the White House? Biden, or the oligarchs in Davos?
