New World Order makes you believe in God(?)
New World Order
New World Order (Novus Ordo Mundi) refers to a conspiracy theory in which a powerful and secretive group (Illuminati, Freemasons, etc.) has created a secret plan to eventually rule the world via a unitary (as opposed to federal) world government.
The Basics
New world order is an integrative millenarian conspiracy theory that appears in both religious and secular versions. It emerged as a combination, and recombination, of the reaction by fundamentalist Christian eschatology to New Age ideas, with the long-standing disposition to blame conspiracies for shifting social inequities.
Many believe the idea of the “new world order” originated in the early 1900s with Cecil Rhodes, who advocated that the British Empire and the United States should jointly impose a Federal World Government (with of course English as the official language) to bring about lasting world peace. Lionel Curtis, who also believed in this idea, founded the Rhodes-Milner Round Table Groups in 1909, which led to the establishment of the British based Royal Institute for International Affairs in 1919 and the U.S. based Council on Foreign Relations in 1920. The concept was further developed by Edward M. House, a close advisor to Woodrow Wilson during the negotiations to set up the League of Nations (it is unclear whether it was House or Wilson who invented the actual phrase). Another important influence was the futurist H.G. Wells, a vigorous advocate for World Government.There is a prediction that the next major historical world upheaval will emerge from the worldwide web.As a sign of the growing influence of the worldwide web in the human civilization today, a group of advocates from different parts of the world, adhering to The Globalist Manifesto, are snowballing the formation of a global political party of selected individuals for the formation of a global government.This party may or may not be influenced by “conspirators”. Their websites had been rating in the top 10 of the Yahoo and Alta Vista search engines under the topic of “formation of global government”. Some of their websites were also in the top ten in the Google search.
Elements of the conspiracy theory are present in the populism of the nineteenth century. The theories in their present form can be traced to the collapse of Soviet Communism and President George H. W. Bush’s new world order speech of 11 September 1991. In it he described the United States’ objectives for post-cold-war cooperation with the former Soviet Union, using the phrase “new world order.”
In new world order conspiracy theories, many things significant are caused by a powerful secret group. Historical and current events are seen as steps in an on-going plot to rule the world or implement an age of reason.
Supporters of this theory can say to a certain degree who is part of it. Nobody can determine who isn’t part of the NWO. Most prominent families such as the Rothschild Family, Rockefeller Family, Morgans, Kissingers, Schroders, and DuPonts, as well as European monarchs, are said to be important members. The theory claims that virtually all important persons of the international world of banking, commerce, arts, entertainment, and mass media are involved.
International organizations such as the World Bank, IMF, European Union, the United States, the United Nations and NATO are often listed as core NWO organizations. Presidents and prime ministers of nations are routinely included in this huge conspiracy. A slightly different version of the NWO conspiracy theory goes as far as saying that these families and persons are all part of the same bloodline. Though there are many internet sites and books that present many ideas as factual, scant evidence to support many such claims exist. This is seen to fuel some NWO conspiracy theory because some conspiracists may see this lack of evidence as proof of organized “truth suppression”.
New World Order is a pretty well-constructed conspiracy theory. As a matter of fact, it makes number of legitimate and sound claims. For example, there aren’t that many differences between Democrats and Republicans. If you compare two parties today, there are actually differences, but if you observe two parties over a period of time, you do not find that many differences. It’s almost like these two are two sides of the same coin AND they change sides from time to time. Both parties tax (average) Americans more and more, and this is pretty consistent. Inflation is persistent, and the value of dollar keeps depreciating; this is pretty consistent also. This also creates the environment that those who own assets, i.e., those who can generate income without working for it can manage to stay where they are or manage to acquire more assets, while those who do not own assets become poorer and poorer. United States would become a controlled state as a result, and this would establish a part of New World Order. There are many more examples.
However, there is a puzzling element if you do not believe in a monolithic religion such as Christianity. Rothschild Family is often mentioned in New World Order, but all family members are mere mortals after all. They live and die. Not one of family members can live for thousands of years. Death is a certainty, though tax might not be a certainty to them. Every single family member has individual mind, and it is impossible to imagine that all family members starting from Mayer Amschel Rothschild believe in New World Order, and they all try to establish New World Order. But this is when you have to wonder about the existence of Devil, immortal Devil. If you believe that Devil exists, then New World Order conspiracy starts making sense; the fact that a Rothschild family member or anyone who tries to establish New World Order has a limited life expectancy becomes irrelevant. In other words, New World Order makes you believe in God and (Devil).
I guess that this is why a deeply religious person like David Rivera discusses New World Order. Alex Jones is also another person who discusses New World Order; in fact, his radio show is pretty much all about New World Order. From what I read, he is also very religious.
Does God really exist? Is New World Order really lead by Devil?
My take on this is that New World Order is a pretty well-constructed conspiracy theory. Certain interpretations of New World Order sound rather kooky, but generally speaking, it’s not an outrageous conspiracy; it makes many valid claims. The over all conspiracy theory should not be dismissed as another “kooky” conspiracy theory in my opinion. However, I am not 100% sure if this proves or disproves the existence of God and Devil. Atheists seem to be able to explain every subject, and my guess is that one or more of Atheists can also explain New World Order without believing in God or Devil; they can probably explain New World Order scientifically.
