New World Order
What
Is the New World Order?
NWO
conspiracies almost always involve the super rich, globalism, and oftentimes
authoritarianism. The quick run-down is as follows: there’s a shadow network of
really rich people with a globalist agenda slowly forcing the world into a
single, authoritarian state. In turn, sovereign states are gradually giving up
their freedoms and will ultimately dissolve into one - New World Order
conspiracies are just that… conspiracies

The phrase “New World
Order” can mean a lot of different things to different people.
But sometimes, it’s
fun to put on the tinfoil hat, so in this post we’re talking conspiracy.
As alluded to, the
New World Order (NWO) is a conspiracy theory.
While it has a lot of
different facets and connotations, there are a few common threads.
NWO conspiracies
almost always involve the super rich, globalism, and oftentimes
authoritarianism.
The quick run-down is
as follows: there’s a shadow network of really rich people with a globalist
agenda slowly forcing the world into a single, authoritarian state.
In turn, sovereign
states are gradually giving up their freedoms and will ultimately dissolve into
one.
Oftentimes, New World
Order conspiracies go beyond this, but we won’t get into all of that.
Basically, the whole
conspiracy is a huge rabbit hole that can lead to ideas as wild as reptile
people and the Hollow-Earth conspiracy if you follow some of the weirder
corners.
Not every NWO
conspiracy involves reptile people though, how outlandish they are can vary.
What is important to
note is that much of the paranoia regarding the New World Order surrounds the
West.
It’s founded on the
belief that the West, considered free and democratic people, are willingly
surrendering their freedoms to this shadow network.
History of the New
World Order
The New World Order
conspiracy theory has its roots in the 1700s.
It emerged from
conspiracy theories of that time, which centered around the end-times,
Freemasonry, and the Illuminati.
In the 20th century,
many NWO conspiracy theories began to take on an antisemitic element.
It was only recently,
however, that paranoia regarding the New World Order would come to rise in an
almost mainstream fashion.
Before the 21st
century, New World Order conspiracism was largely limited to two American
groups: Fundamentalist Christians who tied the NWO to end-time prophecies and
the rise of the Antichrist, and militant, right-wing, anti-government
activists.
Today however, thanks
in part to the internet, New World Order conspiracy theories have entered into
popular culture.
New technology like
Amazon’s Alexa, and the time it recorded an entire conversation, haven’t helped
quell the paranoia.
Neither has the
advent of the smartphones. Carrying around a box with two cameras and a
microphone, that also stores your fingerprint, only adds fuel to NWO
conspiracies.
Today, most NWO
conspiracies assert that this shadow network has infiltrated the government at
all levels, and even controls the media.
The idea that the
government has already been taken over goes back to at least 1966.
Mary M. Davidson’s
publishing of The Profound Revolution was one of the earlier instances of this
idea taking hold.
Her work alleges that
the US Federal Reserve was created by international bankers to handle the
finances of the New World Order.
Many took
“international bankers” to mean Jewish bankers, notably the wealthy Rothschild
family.
Are We Living in a
New World Order?
Has the NWO taken
control of our government and the media?
Have we sold our
souls to people who dive into pools of money like Scrooge McDuck?
Should we start
making offerings to ancient aliens? Of course not.
New World Order
conspiracies are just that… conspiracies!
But we mentioned
earlier that the phrase can have different meanings.
The term, in a
political sense, simply refers to a dramatic shift in worldwide political
views.
It gained popularity
during the 20th century, when politicians like Woodrow Wilson and Winston
Churchill used “new world order” to describe the dramatic changes that occurred
following both world wars.
It was in those
post-war periods that more efforts were made to address global issues together,
and groups like the United Nations and NATO were established.
More recently, the
use of the term became widespread following the end of the Cold War.
Leaders like Mikhail
Gorbachev and George H. W. Bush both used the phrase in reference to what they
hoped would be a new era of cooperation between the world’s superpowers.
Today, things like
Brexit, a western rise in nationalism, North Korea becoming a nuclear power,
and climate change are affecting the global zeitgeist in dramatic ways.
Views that were held
in the wake of WWII are becoming memories as dramatic changes continue to
occur.
Is the world
approaching a new world order? Are we living in one now?
That’s an ongoing
discussion. Just don’t expect our reptilian overlords to come crawling out from
under the ground anytime soon.
Skynet, though, you
should look out for.
