NEW WORLD ORDER

Everybody wants to rule the world

• Globalism is fundamental to CTs

• If CTs are about connecting to explain, then, doing so beyond the nation is inevitable and even necessary – about power, world power, subversion.

• So CTs have a history related to History

• Reality of monarchial power
• Fears engendered by overturning of such power - the French Revolution and its export

• Is why the grand-daddy are the Bavarian “Illuminati” founded by Adam Weishaupt, 1776

• Not tied to ignorance. Illuminati as in 8th C Enlightenment. Saw secrecy as necessary

Vision of the Secret Elite

• The Illuminati – as a general term now

• Freemasons & Rosicrucians (often tied to religious issues, eg claim that the Masons are secretly Satanic

• Signs and symbols (their ID card)

• Jews (Protocols of the Elders of Zion forgery)

• Communists - John Birch Society

• “One World” Internationalists

• CFR, Trilateral Commission, the United Nations

• Corporate power

• The Bilderberg Group
• World Economic Forum meet in Davos
• Bohemian Grove , the owls and the cremation of care

The New World Order

• The phrase “new world order” is a staple of these “globalist” conspiracy theories

• It is not their invention – track back the term

• A version appears on the dollar bill…(the New Order of the Ages)

• Was used most often recently by elder George Bush following close of Cold War, especially at the first Gulf War 1991

• Spoke to a real change post Cold War

• But mere use served as confirmation of old CTs – as if the corner of curtain had been lifted

• Is rarely used now by US authorities, but…

Reaction: American Patriots

• Militias were a striking phenomenon of the post Cold War 1990s, amidst globalisation – focused selves on threat of a “New World Order”

• Used historic model to create small connected organisations – the Militia (by State)…

• Narrative of subversion of US Govt, UN control and “invasion” of USA (eg 1994 Donahue)

• Often held fundamentalist Christian - Libertarian outlook, Survivalist and “End Times” focused

• Have largely faded from the scene – only a few survive though some revival post Obama, eg the Oathkeepers

Left Wing New World Order

• As both a counter and complementary trend

• Similar focus on global control and often similar villains, though focus more on corporate

• For instance, WTO – the Battle of Seattle1999

• Other meetings since, eg London, Washington, Prague.

• May Day has been adopted anew.

• Environmentalist accent – oil corps

• Noam Chomsky seer – essential vision is of governmental/corporate deceit - a “New World’s Order” (aka American power, McDonalds, the Iraq War, Oil, etc)

• Fears of new order of technology

Reality of Globalism

• In an interconnected, inter-related world, we can see NWO CTs as a shadow, mirror, a narrative that seeks to render the complex contained and comprensible, when other stories don’t satisfy

• No doubt that the powerful do organise and align (eg Bilderberg meetings do happen); power does unite and secretly (corporate fraud)

• Contemporary examples of locale

• Climate change as conspiracy
• Recent financial crises

• But are CTs about the global a potential moment of new activism or are they a fantasy distraction?

An industry

• UK – David Icke

• Books, website, appearances, lectures

• US – Alex Jones

• Websites (Prison Planet / Infowars), web radio, sw radio, web video, DVD
• Doyen of modern NWO conspiracists
• Sites show fantastic degree of detail and interconnection, weave their narrative
• Often based on using news and things which are true, then given a NWO spin/implication
• Hard not to disagree with fragments?
