There’s some Confusion about this, but those of True Faith know that it only occurs on a Blue Monday

There are likely strings being pulled by super rich oligarchs but this new world order stuff is tinfoil hat paranoia. Stop listening to Alex Jones.

If there is such a group, they are doing a shitty job of managing almost everything.

It’s the notion that a secret cabal of powerful individuals is out to control the world through the undermining of autonomous governments. It isn’t the plot that makes the story bullshit, but rather the idea that the scheme is secret or a recent invention. The conspiracy folks miss the underlying truth that there is no point to actually undermining the government when you can own those chosen to govern. In our country this has already been happily achieved, and the results speak for themselves. Thus the vestiges required to preserve the illusion of self governance remain in place, as measures which fly in the face of the public interest increasingly proliferate to dominate the landscape.

You mean that it’s pretty obvious right? Like it’s not so secretive? So IT IS true? (thanks for your answer)

No, no no @stanleybmanly they are not trying to undermine those governments they already control, only the ones they have yet to own. And only then if they cannot pervert the system by buying those who govern.

@FlutherBug No one is in control, and it’s okay. Nothing is under control, and it’s okay. Breathe deeply. Relax. Eat some ice cream. Smile.

It certainly does exist as an aspiration of existing Western powers led by the United States. The conspiracy theories that you have seen bandied about since the advent of the internet are the paranoid reactions to the idea of a New World Order, or one world government.

Woodrow Wilson talked about a one world democracy after the holocaust of WWI. His “League of Nations” was just the beginning. He wished for a one-world Parliament where every country would have a voice and hopefully avoid a reprise of the wanton annihilation of 20 million people like that which occurred in the four years between 1914–1918.

Next up was Adolf Hitler. He proclaimed many times in his speeches that the Nazi Third Reich’s ultimate aim was to “hammer and forge” the countries of the world together with “blood and iron” (reminiscing Bismark) into one New World Order, which he made very clear was about “Liebensraum”, or “Living space” exclusively for the Aryan race and the enslavement and destruction of all other races including their “inferior” cultures.

So, when George H. W. Bush used that exact term, “New World Order”, 46 years later in a speech to the US Senate in 1991, many people were made quite uncomfortable. The speech described a world united under Capitalism and guided by the Free Market. What was missing was the word democracy and, as everybody knows, Capitalism can do very well for itself without the hindrance of human rights and the voice of the complaining masses.

Thus, the plethora of wild and not-so-wild conspiracy theories with which you and I are familiar.
