Hitler may have believed in the new world order himself.

At the end of Mein Kampf. Hitler states "translated into English" Hitler talks of a Jewish world-dictatorship in Mein Kampf, Which compares to the NWO fanatics who claim Jews run the planet. In Mein Kampf, Hitler states "Should one State preserve its national strength and its national greatness the empire of the Jewish satrapy, like every other tyranny, would have to succumb to the force of the national idea.". Is this paragraph from Mein Kampf arguing that nationalism must remain to stand up to Jewish People. This turns the claims of NWO conspiracies theorists on their head. Are tghose who complain about a NWO conspiracy, simply neo nazi conspiracists hidding behind a pretend of being against NAZIs. I found it on this blog. http://dirtyeuropeansocialist.blogspot.com/2008/06/is-eu-nazi-european-union-no-way-as.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whowasi (talk • contribs) 14:18, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

It's not the "Jews", it's the Illuminati. So no, I'm not a neo-nazi. The fact that Hitler believed this is indicative of his anti-semitism, not belief in a NWO conspiracy. --Pwnage8 (talk) 16:49, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Hitler called for a "new world order", all the arguements center around translation. Forinstance translate Home Land Security into German. Evadinggrid (talk) 18:08, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Erm... a direct (and somewhat awkward) translation would be "Sicherheit der Heimat". The actual phrase used in German is "Innere Sicherheit", which would translate directly into English as "Inner security". How is that indicative of anything? What am I missing here? TomorrowTime (talk) 17:13, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Actually, Hitler believed heavily in the idea of an international conspiracy, led by Jews and subservient gentiles. He believed that "Jewish Capitalism" aided the Bolshevik Revolution and that this cabal intended to use Bolshevism as a tool to liquidate the Czar, and also as a mechanism to corrupt other sovereign nations. An excellent source for Hitler's unfiltered views is Hitler's Table Talk. In it he damns Freemasonry calling it "Poison" and the question of the Reichstag fire is largely put to rest -due to the fact that Hitler makes no such admission to this (this being in conversation with his closet and most trusted associates, mind you) and further speculates as to whom the real culprit might have been. So Hitler was somewhat of a conspiracy theorist. A lot of theories promoted by these "New World Order" conspiracy theorists that involve "Nazis" -or National Socialism more broadly- are rooted in a fundamental ignorance regarding National Socialism -in both theory and practice- and the world around them; as well as misinformation provided by these for-profit sources. I'm not defending National Socialism, nor Hitler, but most these conspiracy theories are completely absurd. ForbiddenZone (talk) 02:46, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Ideologies

I feel more attention should be paid to the fact that NWO conspiracy theories are intimately tied to both apocalyptic millennialism and fundamentalist Christianity (whence it draws both the majority of its adherents and ideological base). No edits until I have sources that satisfy the Wiki rules, but if anybody wants to help out, I think it's an oft-understated part of the debate. (unofficially signed, - Desu.)

there is a section about ideologies on the New world order. It only lists a single ideology that of the new age movement. I think this is rather one sided and the minority view. someone should add the ideology that the New world order is negative in nature.thanks

"someone should add the ideology taht the New world order is negative in nature" that seems very vague. are you saying the idea itself of the new world order itself is negative? if so THAT seems pretty one sided Cheesecake42 (talk) 16:13, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Why is it in the URL title (conspiracy theory)?? There is so much evidence and every day more and more people are becoming aware of the Globalist Agenda.. We must stop it! We must say NO THANK YOU, we are the People of Earth and we are ONE.. UNITY... PEACE!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenxlow (talk • contribs) 07:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

ReOrganize

This is an EXTREMELY convoluted wiki page, which i find very sad because its an important subject. There are generally accepted beliefs as to what the New World Order is, and how it is acquiring total control. These simple and openly accepted ideas need to be put forth CLEARLY in the first section. Most of the following subsections are inappropriate for this page according to quality standards, and are misleading for people seeking information on the NWO. For example: one of the subsections of "Implementations" is titled "Black Helicopters" this part is ridiculous and makes no sense. Black helicopters are not an implementation scenario and their random mention is confusing and unclear. Also, most of the "Ideologies" section is without organization and filled with sourceless claims. There is a low standard of writing quality. The major sections are poorly titled and put a bad taste in the reader's mouth. The "timeline" section is completely unnecessary and contains blurbs that are irrelevant to this page.

THIS PAGE IS FOR READERS SEEKING BASIC ENCYCLOPEDIC INFORMATION ON THE "NEW WORLD ORDER" AND RELATED THEORIES/FACTS. IT IS NOT A PLACE FOR PERSONAL OR OBSCURE BLURBS.

Please help me reconstruct this page to correctly portray the NWO, its existence/nonexistence, dangers, and ideas associated with it. This page is NOT going to cut it. I would also like to point out that there is an NWO page that is not considered "conspiracy" and many of the themes/individuals/scenarios overlap. There is a fine line between what the status-quo considers acceptable public knowledge and what suddenly is considered "conspiracy." Remember this, and present your ideas in a way that readers seeking info can mentally digest easily.

I would like to remind everyone who uses this page that according to Harper's Journal there have been several hundred wikipedia user modifications that have been sourced back to computers at the CIA headquarters in Langley. This said, there are probably many more modifications of this heavily trafficked site from other untracked sources of intel/globalist power. It would not surprise me if frequently visited pages like this are intentionally distorted to portray a wacky, confusing image of a what truly constitutes an expanding awareness movement. I'm sure some technocrat is gonna read what i just wrote... so damnitall. Can some of you a$$#*!%$ just agree on some basic info minus the winding diatribes so that people who search this on the net seeking truth aren't totally turned-off? Please. -ReedPerry —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reedperry (talk • contribs) 02:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Facts vs. Theories

I propose that any verifiable facts in this article (i.e. not homepages or conspiracy pages found from Google) be moved to the main New World Order article. In my research, I've found much of this article to be undeniably true, thus not theory. Of course anything with barcodes, extraterrestrials, freemasonry, and such should stay here. Examples of items that can be moved would be references on the aims of the Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission (since transcripts of such exist from their meetings and on their websites), some of the books by prominent authors, references to a world economy and international treaties. The main NWO article is greatly lacking in all these areas. Geekrecon 10:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC). One fact i can guarentee is that anything posted against these types of agenda will be removed. People's encylopedia my a..e.

Quotes

The quotes are a nice read but anyone know if they're all true and verified? Because usually cool quotes are distorted, misatributed or just totally false. Falsifying and distorting quotes is pretty common, notice it in some of Zedong's books too. So somekind of confirmation would be nice.

From the mouths of the men who are pushing the NWO - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a9Syi12RJo Visual confirmation that this term Is being Used by Heads of the USA - particularly in the Bush administration.

I'm checking the references....

Boy oh boy, one man's nationalism is another man's patriotism it seems. And I suppose it depends on what man is speaking. For example: I wonder if our Founding Fathers would be called "nationalists" today by those trying to thwart efforts to expose international socialism i.e., one global government aka NWO - and would the Founding Fathers even accept the premise of "nationalism" as being as derogatory a term as how it has been used herein. There is a big difference between mere avoidance of "entangling foreign alliances" that lead America to never ending wars as a more correct foreign policy vs. strict isolationism in all areas. But of course it is convenient for the internationalists to paint anti-NWO types as "isolationists" and as "centrists" much as the Federalists tried to paint the anti-Federalists as kooks in America's early history.- WJM

In my opinion this article is a good start on the subject.

Keep it imo.

peace Chris

I think the article provides a good overview to what would generally be considered a fringe cultural phenomenon. The external links might be very POV, but I think you're right that they're appropriate in this context, and the article makes it clear that this is a heavily POV subject. Any reasonably critical eye should be able to discern this. I think the article strikes a good balance between the extremes of completely marginalizing the cultural context and giving it credulous coverage. Definitely a good start. --SamClayton 09:35, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I have been speaking to some fenatics on both sides of the fence on this issue, and the documentation here, appears to be of balance between the two. Well fenced. I say keep the article. It appears appropriate in context to the volatility of the issue.

Rigel

I think overall the article does an adequate job of presenting both sides, but I would like to see sources for (or removal of) the article linking N.W.O. conspiracy theories to nationalism. That seems like POV to me, and I would like to see a source in writing that shows that there is a psychological link between believing in a N.W.O. conspiracy theory and being a nationalist/isolationist. --Anonymous

It seems like a "centrist" nationalist position. In particular, the idea that the left and right, or the Left and the Capitalist ideologues, are just manipulated pawns for the NWO seems very centrist. The anti-NWO arguments and web pages are very nationalistic, and have a reactionary feel. The fact that they label the threat the "New" probably contributes to this feeling. It seems to be opposed to modernity -- that is, they are opposed to capitalist progress as well as socialist progress, and want things not to change.

Also, there's a big problem with the paragraph asserting that one group thinks the NWO are "big capitalists". It sounds like it's talking about Marxists, leftists, or socialists, but it's not. It should point out that these people aren't necessarily against "capitalism", but against large corporations that threaten soverignty. Traditional Marxists, leftists, and socialists don't use the term NWO at all. They use terms like "the logic of capital," "rationalization," "capitalism," "modern," "class," "superstructure," and "bourgeoisie." When they talk about a global system that's spreading, overpowering governments, destroying sovereignty, and changing nationalism, they call it "capitalism." When they refer to the present, most advanced form of capitalism, they use the term "imperialism." I think most would consider the term NWO to be reactionary, and not very well thought out. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.245.193.86 (talk) 10:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC).

I added some non absoulte mays and might's as abosoute statements are easy to argue with first. And NOT ALL conspirists are real conspirists. Some may be in it for the money selling tapes and are sensationaling certain events and do not believe their own B.S. To call this a finge phenomenon is to ignor all the pollsters results that show for instance, spikes in those that do not believe the official version of Sept. 11 2001 events. How many hours of Discovery channel presentations constitute conspiacy theory? The MEN who killed Kennedy to name one example Conspiracy of Silence a suppessed documentry to name another.

So you believe things on the internet?

Pakistan is next Targeted Country, every Media Broadcasting Channel , like I-Vision , Wik-Kid , Humtv ,are all Sponsered by or financed by the Companies which Have a Symbol of an EYE (N.W.O). so kids in Pakistan would be manipulated and Trashed by their media channels esp.

No offense, but I can't believe anyone would list websites they found in a Google/Yahoo (and any other search engine) as a credible source. Most humans are stupid. The internet is for everyone, and is made by everyone. Therfore I don't believe anything I read on the internet unless it is observed fact, or about science and math.

Besides, how do you people even KNOW that the NWO would be a unitary government? What if it's a democracy. Besides the NWO would fall apart in a matter of years since at this time in history not many people are ready to be led by a world government, which is why nobody really listens to the UN.

So i'm asking for permission to add to the top of this article a notice saying people need to descide these things for themselves, and should not get their idea's off the internet. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lithium500 (talk • contribs) 03:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC).

So do you believe things on the television? At least where I live (Brazil), the most credible source of information are internet radios, blogs and independent news sites, since all newspapers and TV are biased and serve the current people in power, by manipulation or simply deny of information. Your argument, "the internet is for everyone, and is made by everyone", is the strongest point of internet. Or you can always watch your TV and see they treating you like an idiot and pushing their lies through your throat. 200.100.53.4 11:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Given the ephemeral nature of Wikipedia articles (except, I suppose, the ones that are protected), it would be rather redundant to put such a notice up. After all, articles are designed to be neutral so that readers can do just as you suggest. Although the "getting ideas off the internet" thing would probably mean Wikipedia would need to shut down entirely... since it's on the Internet and such. But anyway, a notice of "Decide this for yourself and don't get your ideas from here" would be hardly neutral. .V. -- (^Talk_Email) 02:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

• I agree. Humans are stupid. And I hate most conspiracies. The US government destroying the Twin Towers? Please. If they were behind it, then God help us, for the Apocalypse is at hand. As for this New World Order, well, it probably would be a dictatorship. A violent takeover, installing a ruler with absolute power, no chance of a democracy. Power, unlimited power, would be granted to the ruler of this abominable form of government.

The internet is the most reliable source. The TV is controlled by the media which is controlled by the NWO. Believe it or not that's where its come to. You bet the NWO was behind the Twin Towers. Think steal buildings that were made to be hit by one and maybe two planes crashes would collapse? No way. The Empire State Building was hit by a B-25 bomber after WWII and it didn't collapse. What about building 7? What about the Pentagon? Think an airliner could fly into that building at that speed at a few feet off the ground? The NWO is definitely not a democracy. The NWO is not going to fall apart for a while. What their big plot, in the long run, is to confiscate all fire arms. I'm an American, and we have the right to bear arms. If they confiscate our arms, we would be helpless against them. I think what they would try to do is first have everyone register their firearms. If they don't do that then they'll be arrested. That is not to bad, just register you gun. Think. After that they say everyone who has a gun has to get a microchip in their gun. Well, people don't want to be against the government, so, they'll just do it. At least the majority will. Then, one by one they take our guns away. Of course, all of this takes time and they need something like the Twin Towers to have people want to be protected by the gov. THe government says if you want protection, you just have to give alittle of your rights. The NWO wants to controll the people. In May, the National I.D. card is coming. You have to give your fingerprint in order to drive! Why? More controll. Little by little their winning. For most people, that's a lot to think. They have alot of trust in their government. You can see the NWO working at every corner. They use terrorism as a tool. Osama Bin Laden was trained by the CIA to fight the Russians during the Cold War! What were the Bushs' doing during 9/11? Having dinner with the Bin Ladens. What about the mayor of NY, who said a few hours before the planes struck the Twin Towers to his "cabinet" to get out, the towers are coming down. What about eye witness that said they heard explosions in the Twin Towers before the plane struck? I know that's alot to swallow. That's just one tiny percentage that I told you about the NWO. There's a lot more. To learn more about the NWO just go on YouTube and type Alex Jones, Police State 2007, New World Order Alex Jones, etc. Don't let them take away your liberties!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tread not (talk • contribs) 21:59, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Hur. With that ideology, then the Internet is also controlled. What makes you 100% sure that Alex Jones is not part of the conspiracy? He might be very well one of the NWO "Disinfo Agents". 190.50.103.4 (talk) 15:35, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Federalism

I'm not any kind of expert on this subject. I did notice that the word "federalism" was used to describe the tradional "world order" where there are multiple independent nations. As an American I have only heard the word "federalism" used to describe the system we have in the United States where there the states have some powers under a central national government. I tend to think that the word "federalism" is misused in the introduction to this article. Is there someone who knows more about this question? Thanks. Steve Dufour 00:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Federalism has a specific meaning when it comes to US politics, but it also has the more general meaning of "A system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units." [[1]]. .V. _[Talk|Email] 01:23, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

If I understand you correctly, it would not be correct to say that the world is under a system of federalism since there is no central authority. I guess you could count the United Nations, but I don't think its authority can be compared to the authority of the US government over the states. Steve Dufour 04:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

You are very much correct. .V. _[Talk|Email] 04:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Is this an American conspiracy?

"Although the UN is usually a central figure in most theories". Is it? Where? In America perhaps because all conspiracies must really be due to those pesky foreigners. In other parts of the world you could change the 'N' to an 'S' to identify the main character in conspiracy theories.

Regards,

George.

Dear fellow readers: I changed the material. The statement that the UN is "usually a central figure in most theories" is certainly unsourced and probably could not be verified for purposes of Wikipedia. You could say that "such and such a commentator says that the UN is usually a central figure in most theories" or something like that, if you could find a source for that. Famspear 23:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, we do have alot of crazies here, but heck, we have alot of (white) people in general so there are bound to be all sorts of craziness. Add to it the fact that lots of us are Christians (including me) and you have tons of avenues for conspiracies.

Non-NPOV and Non-Verified

This article contains many one-sided and non-verified claims. Do others agree? If so, we should add the appropriate Wiki tags.--P Todd 01:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure I see a great deal of POV, but there are some unverified claims. Though it seems it would be better to add references than just tag them. Many of them say something to the extent of "Theorists allege..." and then they don't back it up. However, I'm pretty sure they they do allege what they claim to allege, so it shouldn't be too much of a hunt to find sources. I'll look into that. .V. _[Talk|Email] 11:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, this article contains many one-sided and non-verified claims. An article about "The New World Order (conspiracy theory)" cannot be but one-sided. In order to be of suffcient quality, the article would need to be based on original research. And, as we know, encyclopaedias are not for original research. Therefore, I propose that this article be deleted from the Wikipedia. --Mikaelbook (talk) 07:31, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Nonsense, there are many claims that appear in reliable sources. I don't see how this article violates WP:OR. Most such claims have been removed. --Pwnage8 (talk) 05:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Needs protection

The kooks are invading. THis article needs a subjective mind to go through it and clean up the non-encyclopedic stuff the tinfoil hat types have added. It should also perhaps be locked to anonymous edits and/or watched.

The superkooks like to 'stay off the grid' and won't DARE register an account to pollute this article with their paranoid ramblings! 209.195.72.34 19:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

IDIOTS! Lets try to be opened minded here. You call these people kooks, because they don't believe everything that is told to them. You say this article needs a subjective mind to "go through it and clean up". What you mean is censor it. Even if it is a bunch of BS, read through that and figure it out for yourself. What you are suggesting is even worse. Lets "clean it up" and keep the information generic without questioning. That's what you suggest! If that's your idea of people, I would rather be a kook than a blind follower. Also, what you are suggesting is exactly why people feel there are conspiracy theories. Because there are so many people out there that don't want to question things, especially if they sound "kooky". Wake up to reality and realize that they don't teach everything to you in school. Just like Japanese textbooks conveniently leave out the Rape of Nanjing, our textbooks leave plenty out too. People in power have the goal of maintaining that power. That is true in every society, in every part of the world, at anytime in history. Until everyone will at least look into and think about kooky ideas, we will continue to live in ignorance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.115.114.184 (talk) 07:48, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Interesting...I believe the very concept of Wikipedia and the Internet in general (which by its very nature is impossible to censor) is evidence enough against a "new world order." You seem to be suggesting that we stop "blindly following" the media and start "blindly following" the conspiracy theorists. I would rather gather facts from several different sources and make up my mind on my own. And I agree that this page should be locked from anonymouse edits.--Justintree (talk) 18:22, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Even more interesting is the sense that Justintree seems to think the NWO is already here and set up shop. If and when the NWO is in controll, the internet "as we know it" will be torn down. However, some of the references for this are as yet unverified. Meanwhile I infer from the article that the actual coup, as it were, is still in progress and a ways off from final completion. On the other hand, I would agree that the article could be cleaned up. Not censored, but reorganized so that the various theory elements could range from fringe/unlikely to core/probable, or something like that. There have also been recent developments that should also be worked into the text. After I study the material in both articles a little more, NWO and NWO (CT), perhaps I’ll make some edits.

So what if UPC codes are obviously the Mark of the Beast? How cool is it that the reptillian aliens from inside the hollow Earth plotting with the Illuminati to take over the world in preparation for the Anti-Christ could have also conspired to make inventory control so much easier for Supermarkets?

corporations vs workers (whether true or false) is a common leftist/rightist point of view, not a conspiracy theory

i removed the following from the article:

• Some people are opposed to the New World Order because they see it as being run by the big capitalist plutocrats such as David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission. It is claimed that the real purpose of globalization (the economic aspect of the New World Order) is to enable the big capitalists who run the transnational corporations to exploit the workers to the maxiumum possible extent and thus gain more profits for themselves.

While the Trilateral Commission may be rather secretive, the fact that it's composed of about 300 or so of the world's most powerful businessmen, politicians, academics and some labor and NGO leaders makes it rather reasonable that as an institution, it probably has significant effects on global decision-making. This is a common sense claim of basic human psychology and the social sciences, not a conspiracy theory: make a regular habit of putting a bunch of 300 of the most powerful individuals in the world in a good place where they can talk together comfortably and off the record (with no journalists recording or secretaries making official records) and it's fairly likely that they will exchange useful information and ideas and plan things in their (and their organisations') common interest. Also, the claim that corporations, through the stock market and other mechanisms, aim to maximise their profits and thereby exploit workers is not a conspiracy theory, it's the foundation of the most widely used "theories" of economics. Whether or not it's a good thing is POV. Whether or not it's true or not depends on how true various "theories" of economics are. But a wrong theory of economics is not a conspiracy theory (unless it's focussed mostly on a small number of secretive individuals working together, but then it would not normally be called a theory of economics). Boud 20:49, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Let me get this straight. You removed this part of the article because it wasn't part of a conspiracy theory, because it is an obvious fact. So whenever someone brings in an article to prove a conspiracy, with something that is fact, you want to remove it! So you want to systematically keep these conspiracy theories just that. Instead of using the internet as a tool to figure out the truth. That seems like a brilliant idea! Obviously the main goal of all of these New World Order conspiracy theories is for the capitalist elites to take over an exploit the workers. Isn't this exactly what Marx talked about. So because we showed proof of this conspiracy, we take that proof out!?!? Wow, mind boggling how people can think they are so smart and are doing such great things. All you have to do is have a basic knowledge of Marx to know that for capitalism to work, it has to keep growing its markets, which would mean eventual global dominance. That is until the workers take over. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.115.114.184 (talk) 07:56, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

If that were his motivation, I doubt he would have posted about the change here. The reason (as I understand it) that it was removed is because it is not part of a conspiracy, it is simply a meeting of individuals who have little or no other opportunity to converse off the record. To say that, just because they hold power and influence, they should be monitored in all of their activities sounds almost exactly like claims made by conspiracy theorists against "them". If you violate one person's rights, then that opens the door to violate anyone else's rights, so allowing them some privacy would be a good way to stay away from what the conspiracy theorists claim is going to happen. --Justintree (talk) 18:31, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree that the segment was rightfully removed. Along with being factually inaccurate or misleading, it marginalizes noncontroversial realities which support conspiracy theory by suggesting them to be a part of conspiracy theory. 'Rational' people aren't supposed to believe that a powerful secret group is taking over the world under their noses, but it's not a conspiracy theory to say that the rockeffelers want your money and don't give a shit how they get it, or that they will use any opportunity they can to meet privately to see how they can go about curbing you're civil liberties if it helps them achieve that goal. That's not a 'conspiracy theory' it's common sense, and it should be distinguished as such. I think the statement could be reinserted revised. It'd be difficult to keep it pertinent though.

Does "See Also" have to be so long?

If you've noticed the "See Also" section, you would find that there is an incredibly long list of such "related articles". While I acknowledge that there are a few plausible ones such as "World government" and "Illuminati", some to be only remotely related or none at all, such as "Secularism", "Ecumenism", and "World Council of Churches". Others appear to just a smattering of various conspiracy theories, some of which may or may not have any relation to the topic at hand, such as "Creation-evolution controversy"... I think a clean-up might be imperative. Ariedartin JECJY ^Talk 18:13, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Quotes

The following quote (and possibly the subsequent quote) is not actaully Lincoln. It was atrributed to him in the 1870's; however, someone else actually wrote it. The words are too formal for Lincoln's style. Enthroned, endeavor, etc. “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.” - Abraham Lincoln - In a letter written to William Elkin. Thomas Esques

Sherlock Holmes

The part about Sherlock Holmes should be removed as he was a fictional character in the books written by Conan Arthur Doyle, his opinion in a serious political debate is irrelevant because he never existed at all.

George H.W Bush

In the speech that he gave to Congress in 1990 when he first mentioned the New World Order, it seems that he used the words "New World Order" by accident instead of "New Era", he blatantly corrects himself. This is very significant as no-one batted an eyelid regarding the usage of the phrase.

Too many quotes!

The quotes may be notable, famous, whatever-you-call-it, but nonetheless, too many. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and these quotes are taking up about half (or more) of the article length. At the very least, please only put those which are evidently and unambiguously referring to the conspiracy - not simply a world government in general.

Question.

Isn't New World Order in latin, Novus Ordo Seclorum? If not, then I would like to know what the latin means under the pyramid on the back of the one dollar bill. Thank you very much. Amphitere

We have an article on Novus Ordo Seclorum that will answer your question!--Isotope23 ^talk 01:37, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

The phrase New World Order has its roots in the Latin phrases Annuit Cœptis, meaning "He has approved our beginnings," and Novus Ordo Seclorum meaning "A New Order of the Ages." However when translating the phrase New World Order back to latin it translates as Novus Ordo Mundi - Ne0Freedom 17:02, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Structural changes (and a few content additions)

Someone unsigned wrote this as a loose piece of text at the top of this discussion page:

there is a section about ideologies on the New world order. It only lists a single ideology that of the new age movement. I think this is rather one sided and the minority view. someone should add the ideology that the New world order is negative in nature.thanks

- and it got me involved in fixing up some structural problems with the page. I have moved the Timeline out of the Ideologies section, re-arranged the Ideologies with sub-heads rather than bulleted points (they were too complex and long for bullets), and have done the same with the section that covers theorized methods of implementation, titling each one and giving it sub-head status.

While at work on this task, some basic copy-editing tasks caught my atention, and my desire for completion led me to add a few more categories of implementation, but in general my work did not include writing new text or sourcing anything that was unsourced.

I hope this new structure meets people's needs. I will not likely be sticking around on this page or contributing heavily to it, so don't worry about my personal investment in the new format -- it's just what seemed most logical to me at the time.

Zionists does not equal Jewish

Section headed Antisemitic ideologies: Zionists as the enemy.

It states that Zionism is the same as the Jewish faith. This is both misleading and innacurate. Zionism is an idiological force that exists both inside and outside the Jewish faith.

Proposal for renaming

This article refers to the 'New World Order' conspiracy theory. Wikipedia policy says "article naming should prefer what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize". This would appear to favour New World Order (conspiracy theory) as the name for the article, as it is a conspiracy theory held by a small fringe group who believe that there is in fact such a conspiracy. Moreover, naming the article on this conspiracy theory as New World Order (conspiracy) is inconsistent with our naming conflict guideline to "[c]hoose a descriptive name for an article that does not carry POV implications." New World Order (conspiracy) implies that there is in fact such a conspiracy, thus endorsing a POV, and a rather objectionable one at that. John Nevard 01:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Imaginationland

The reference to the Imaginationland episodes of South Park ("Imaginationland", "Imaginationland Episode II", "Imaginationland Episode III) in the "TV shows and anime" section of this article are probably original research. I've watched all three, and I don't remember any references having been made, but this isn't my reason for opposing. That such a conspiracy theory was mentioned or alluded to in South Park needs to have been stated in a reputable third-party source. In the absence of a reference for these episodes, I'm going to remove this reference. -FrankTobia (talk) 16:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Editing the conspiracy

I would propose that we edit out the name "conspiracy Theory" from most of the pages. I think that the general public views anything labelled "conspriacy theory" as not true, and simply labeling something as a "conspiracy theory" immedietly makes the page seem biased against the theory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.230.224.63 (talk) 19:00, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Conspiracy theory stays - look up the definition of "conspiracy." --Strothra (talk) 02:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I totally agree with the first statement. the term "conspiracy theory" and "conspiracy theorist" though correct terminology, has a negative connotation attached to it in modern language. the first word association that comes to mind with most people after the phrase is "nutjub" or something equivalent. Whether right or wrong, using "conspiracy theory" because of modern language, takes the neutrality out of the title of the article. I suggest dropping the adjective altogether and naming the article "New World Order Theory". This shows that the idea of the New World Order is in fact, just a theory adn brings no negative connotation along with it. Cheesecake42 (talk) 16:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

The NWO is not a conspiracy theory.

It is a globalist organizational power structure created by a small but dedicated group of individuals who HAVE REPEATEDLY WRITTEN OF ITS EXISTENCE and of THEIR DEDICATION TO SEEING IT REALIZED.

These people are so obsessed with exposing this giant conspiracy (which is so untrue it’s almost laughable) that they don’t even stop to think that the people of the world voluntarily coming together might actually be a ‘’good thing’’’.

Agreed: labelling the NWO as a 'theory' is to display a misunderstanding of the facts. As a result, those who research this topic have largely turned their backs on this page. Commemorations wikipedia, for failing us on this most important topic. Here's another quote from a David Rockefeller speech, documented in June 1991 at the Bilderberg Meeting, Baden -Baden, Germany.

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the light of publicity during those years. But now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supra-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." --Negotiations (talk) 04:34, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Little Light on Criticism?

Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. It is a huge black mark on Wikipedia that an article this light on facts doesn't have a substantial criticism section. Are there plans to have other Wikipedia articles hijacked by raving lunatics? I'm looking forward to the Sockland article describing in detail the massive conspiracy to steal from clothes driers around the world and create a subjugated universe of Sock People. I can't wait to see which "popular references" and important people get attached to that one by the loosest of connections. Tony Blair wears socks.

A Christian's viewpoint

In regards to the section titled, "New World Order (conspiracy theory)#Apocalyptic Christian theories centering on the Book of Revelation", most fundamentalist evangelical Christians do not necessarily assert that, "agents of Satan are involved in deceiving humanity into accepting an international demonic order that has Satan at the core of worship." Man has made decisions that set a course for full acceptance of a single global power, a single global currency, and a single global religion. While Satan has influenced many, he dare not focus on one that has him, "at the core of worship." Too many would object and reject that government. No, he is sly and will deceive slowly, over time, bringing the many organizations that have global reach in their specific areas together (e.g. telecommunications, banking, etc). A commonly held belief for many Christians is that the NWO will focus on global peace through full disarmament, allowing a global entity to control all the arms. It will further move to call for religious unity and tolerance through a single belief that it will conjure up; which is likely to claim that we have some form of divinity within each of or some other form of commonality that gives us full control over our global destiny. I'm no scholar, but I hope I've explained my viewpoint in a coherent manner. I do not speak for all Christians either, so please don't harass me about that. I am just one man, with his opinion and interpretations. I will say this, the Book of Daniel talked about such things as well. Daniel tells of a dream and its interpretation for both King Nebuchadnezzar and himself where four kingdoms would arise from the earth. Even non-Christian scientists and archaeologists cannot argue that copies of Daniel's prophecy were discovered dating back to the early Medo-Persian Empire[2], which is considered to be the second of the four empires. That prophecy has been fulfilled to the smallest detail. Even today, the fourth empire, that of the Romans, prevails in nearly every Western society as those governments have taken from the Romans their Senates and most other aspects of governing.

Conspiracy Theory is the correct deffinition of what it is. It is a THEORY that many people/groups have been CONSPIRING the new world order. The problem that I have with it is that Conspiracy Theory has become a negative term and using it takes away npov. The article for Ted Kennedy isn't called Ted Kennedy (liberal). This defines what he is, but it is not necessary to put it in the title. If that were the case, it would look as if somone was using the term liberal as a negative term. Changing the title to "New World Order (Theory)" Does nothing more than make the article more neutral. I have no problem with somewhere in the article referring to it as a conspiracy theory. It just looks extremely negative in the title. Cheesecake42 (talk) 15:47, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, the articles on serious use of the term New world order discuss it as a theory of historical change. Calling this article "New World Order (Theory)" would be confusing to say the least.

I have a more bold proposition... A lot of the "conspiracy" stuff, as mentioned here before, is verifiable (Bilderberg, CFR, etc). I think that stuff should be moved to the main New World Order article (once it is properly sourced), and then the "theories" that are unverifiable speculation would stay in this article, which will be renamed "Conspiracy theories surrounding the New World Order". I believe this to be the most neutral way to cover the subject matter. --Pwnage8 (talk) 17:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

"Changing the name of this entry is a bad idea because it flies in the face of the majority view of most scholars and major media journalists that these claims are a steaming pile of horse manure." This shows exactly what I am saying. Because some people think that it is a "steming pile of horse manure" you think it should be portrayed in a negative manner. That is deffinately not NPOV. This argument doesn't even pertain to what the actual discussion was about which is the use of "conspiracy theory" being a negative term. Going by your statement, why dont you just propose to delete the whole article if in fact it's "a stemaing pile of horse manure"? "Well, then you need to find a blogsite, not Wikipedia. We are here to edit text based on reputable published sources. What most earthlings consider reputable published sources, that is." There's no need to be an ass. I'm trying to have a civilized discussion with you about changing the title of the article. Telling me to go away doesn't help anything. Cheesecake42 (talk) 15:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

If you cannot cite a reputable published source to back up you POV, then in fact you should stop wasting our time here on this page. There are numerous scholars who write that the New World Order conspiracy theory is just that, a nonsense claim without merit. A civilized discussion based on nonsense is still nonsense. The issue of using the well-established term "conspiracy theory" here on Wikipedia on appropriate pages has been debated endlessly. It is considered appropriate by a majority of editors.--Cberlet (talk) 02:35, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

You are still just arguing the fact that this article isn't reputable and shouldn't be an article. You've already stated that you want the article to be called a conspiracy theory because IT IS A NEGATIVE TERM. And what is it that you want me to cite exactly?Cheesecake42 (talk) 13:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Pretty good comments above by editors on both sides. To conspire means "to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or to use such means to accomplish a lawful end." Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, p. 243 (G. & C. Merriam Company, 8th ed. 1976). The key words seem to be "join", "agreement" and "secret". The terms "join" and "agreement" highlight the fact that a conspiracy, to be a conspiracy, must involve more than one person, by definition. And the term "secret" highlights the idea that there is or must be an attempt by those involved in the agreement to keep at least some of the agreement hidden from the public at large. The definition, as written, is more or less denotative. It highlights the fact that a true conspiracy may be for either a good (or at least benign) purpose OR for a bad purpose.

If my wife and I agree in secret to eat at our favorite restaurant every Friday night for the next month, that is technically a conspiracy in the denotative sense, albeit perhaps a benign conspiracy. Of course, we don't usually use the term in this sense, except perhaps jokingly.

The more commonly used connotative sense is, of course, the portion of the definition dealing with bad purpose (e.g., unlawful or wrongful). I haven't read the entire article, but it seems that this article is consistently dealing with conspiracy" in this connotative sense. The "secret agreements" (actual or imagined) are generally viewed by the persons believing those theories as being secret agreements for a bad purpose.

And, of course, the very use of the term "conspiracy theory" or "conspiracy theorists" to describe a theory or an individual believing that theory does itself conjure negative connotations about both the theory and the believer -- such as the connotation that the person believing the theory is wacky and delusional -- that the putative "conspiracy" does not really exist (or maybe that the conspiracy does not exist in the way described by the believer, etc., etc.).

The use of the term "conspiracy" has indeed been debated in Wikipedia almost endlessly for a long time. The consensus (at least since I have been editing here in late 2005) is that we do not delete the term "conspiracy" merely because it has negative connotations, which it certainly does.

The analogy of "Ted Kennedy (liberal)" as opposed to just "Ted Kennedy" is arguably not on point. If, for example, there were a Ted Kennedy who was a famous astronaut, you might entitle the two articles "Ted Kennedy (politician)" and "Ted Kennedy (astronaut)" to distinguish the two. The "conspiracy theory" nomenclature here distinguishes this article from the many other Wikipedia articles on New World Order.

Just as an aside, the supporters of conspiracy theories who happen to come across this article, with its current title, and react negatively because of the negative connotation, are simply out of luck. I don't think they can have it both ways. We also have articles with titles like Adolf Hitler and Nazism and Gestapo, and there is no meaningful way around the accurate use of these words in the titles, even though the words have strongly negative connotations for many people.

In this particular case, to change the title from "conspiracy theory" to just "theory" would seem to be a strained, misplaced attempt to try to make the article more "neutral." The body of the text of this article is not about "New World Order" as being merely a theory (or theories). It's about New World Order as a group of conspiracy theories. Conspiracy -- secret agreement among two or more persons -- is central to virtually every theory discussed in the article. I don't have a strong feeling about it but, on balance, I don't see the proposed deletion of the word "conspiracy" in the title as being particularly helpful from the standpoint of the Wikipedia policy on Neutral Point of View.

Lyndon LaRouche and New World Order

I did a search and found that LaRouche generally does not speak of a "New World Order." I removed the short paragraph because it was unsourced and appears to be incorrect. I found one minor comment by a writer for LaRouche's magazine ([3]) commenting on George HW Bush's use of the term, and equating it with Free Trade. LaRouche has often spoken of a New World Economic Order as something he supports, but that is obviously different than the topic of this article. --Anti-Gorgias (talk) 00:34, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Also in LaRouche Org publications here. Here. In a WLYM publication. S******r Institute.. and LaRouche's new wife. Most mentions seem closer to the main New world order article than the topic this covers, though God only knows what LaRouche means whenever he strings a sentence together.

Oh..... but I just came across this. It seems that there are LaRouche connections to this particular brand of conspiracism. And from the man himself- "this same Anglo-American-dominated, globalized new world order, is intended, like Adolf Hitler’s promise of a thousand-year Reich, to rule the entirety of the planet for as far as the horizon of the imagination might reach."[4] Slightly milder in the land of Prada.[5]

And just for laughs, we have the Gnostic Masonic schemes of Mozart. John Nevard (talk) 03:24, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Really, relying on what LaRouche says about a concept on any one day is not a good way to predict what he will say about it the next. All we can do is say that he said it. There's probably been further mentions in the literature analyzing LaRouche. John Nevard (talk) 03:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Pat Buchanan

The entire section on Pat Buchanan needs to be deleted. Every single part is untrue. The first assertion is unsourced. The Second Source cites "Where the right went wrong" without referring to any page number. The only mention of the Council on Foreign relations in that boook is a passing reference that they--along with a dozen other institutions he lists-- supported NAFTA. The other source simply goes to his author archives at World Net Daily--rather than a specific column. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.21.149 (talk) 18:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Correction on Latin phrases

I added a correction. Annuit coeptis and Novus Ordo Seclorum are two separate phrases, not one. The material in the section I edited appeared to be referencing only the meaning of "novus ordo seclorum," so I deleted the reference to "annuit coeptis." Famspear (talk) 15:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

See also: Roman Empire

Is there any reason why the Roman Empire is listed in the article's "see also" section? I see no connection between the New World Order and the Roman Empire, definitely not in the latter article. Huon (talk) 13:03, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

All problems solved by the UN...they send a Election Observation Team to the US

This was on ALL news channels. I'm NO racist, but the current election in the US has prompted the UN to send a team into the US because they believe the US IS a racist nation, which implies that IF Obama LOSES the election to McCain, the US is racist. People in the US has indicated that this is a example of the New World Order in action, and that the UN is controlling the US, and the NWO is HERE now. 65.163.115.204 (talk) 21:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely not. I don't buy it for one second. You claim not to be racist, but you have a racist agenda. You are just like the UN. Ever thought that Obama is being set up to win the election only to be "assassinated" by a white supremacist, thereby causing a race war in the United States, and more racism? No, you haven't. Because you are racist, and you couldn't stand the thought of a black president. If you actually study, you will find out that the Illuminati is racist.

Enforced Drugging of People

There are several websites and links that claim that the "powers that be" are now drugging the people to keep them under control via "made up diseases" such as ADD and ADHD, Autism and that even now kids are being placed on Ritalin, Prozac, Zoloft for no reason at all except to guarantee HUGE profits to "Big Pharma" and their bosses and those who are (allegedly) setting up the New World Order. This should be mentioned as "Drugging the People", which is, as stated, to keep the people under control at all times. These say if the people are "doped up" all of the time, they cannot rebel against the (alleged) New World Order. I have Googled the matter myself. YOU should see what I've found. 65.163.117.223 (talk) 05:46, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Can any of that be used here? 65.163.117.223 (talk) 06:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

The key is to find reliable sources that say this. If that can be done, then by all means add the info (with the sources!!!). Are you the same dude that posted back in June? If so, you have yet to provide sources for your previous claims. The paragraph you added the information to has been deleted as well. --Pwnage8 (talk) 13:35, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

But is the NWO definitely a conspiracy?

New World Order curiously has two pages in Wikipedia, from what i can gather the phrase is split into (1) what is considered an historical account of the term and (2) a conspiracy of modern times. It seems like (1) could be considerd the actual conspiracy by advocates of (2), though I and i'm sure many others do not necessarily agree that this is so. My point that I wish to make is - it is misleading to call this page a conspiracy theory, since whilst some would agree it is just a conspiracy others would say it is not, the implication is thus misleading right from the off. What about simply NWO-Theories? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.152.125.169 (talk) 13:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Mental Health System in NWO

Been all over the 'net and I have seen claims that the NWO will use the mental health system to get rid of those that disagree with it, especially if the "dissidents are Christian. It has been claimed that Christians will be declared "mentally ill" by being diagnosed with all manner of delusions, paranoias, obsessive compulsive disorders, even "True believer syndrome", which Christians find extremely offensive. This should be added. This WAS there before, but someone keeps removing it. Powerzilla (talk) 20:32, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps it was not substantiated with a significant, reliable reference. Both criteria must be fulfilled. Simply because it is "all over the 'net" does not alone qualify it as significant for inclusion. Claims made without reason or evidence mean nothing.

Discussion of Freemasons and their symbols

I fully understand that proponents of the NWO conspiracy theory see Freemasonry as being involved in the NWO in various ways. I also understand that proponents point to various "Masonic" symbols found on the Dollar, embedded in the streets of Washington, etc., etc., as evidence of the connection. The problem is that they often get the facts wrong... some of the "Masonic" symbols they point to are not accutally Masonic. Some of the symbols they point to are not actually used by the Freemasons. For example, while NWO theorists make a big to do over the "Masonic number 13", that numbers is not mentioned anywhere in Freemasonry and has no Masonic meaning. A similar problem is that proponents often point to symbols that are used by the Freemasons and do have Masonic meaning, but that meaning is not the same as is claimed by the NWO proponents (for example, the All-seeing eye is a symbol used by Masons, but it does not imply anything to do with "change" as is mentioned in the article... to Masons it simply symbolizes that God watches over us.)

By no means am I saying that the claims of Masonic involvement in NWO should be omitted, nor am I saying that we should not discuss the meanings attributed by the theoriest to these symbols etc. What I am saying is that we need to be be clear as to who is saying what. We should not to say that something is a Masonic simbol or has a given Masonic meaning, unless we have a very reliable source to support that statement. Instead, we should say that proponents of the theory believe that a symbol is Masonic, and that proponents of the theory believe the symbol has a given meaning.

It's have been in the world since Ancient times...

There are lots of similitudes between NWO Conspiracy and the so called book "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", which has been purposely tagged as "forgery" and "Racist propaganda" (if you read the book it says "They control the press"), because it influenced Hitler's madness a lot and he did the mistake of generalize because the book refers to the Masters of the World as Jews (while in reality they're the Pharisees from Jesus Times), later they became the Priorate of Zion and now they're Zionists represented by the ZOA (Zionist Organization of America) supported by the US a country founded by Jewish, better said Pharisees FreeMasons in 1776, the same year as the Illuminati were created. The book of the Protocols appeared to the world on 1897 the same year as the ZOA was created. A Genocide and multiple Genocides happened during the XX Century, there was the Holocaust against the European Jews, but also there is a Holocaust (a true Anti-semitism) against the Palestinians (they are also Semites).

The Book of the Protocols states that they control all Secret Societies (including the freemasons), they control the media (the press) and the economics of the world. This can be understood better in hidden knowledge passed through the media. Tolkien knew this and there are many hidden symbols found on popular media/press. In his book the Lord of the Rings, Sauron created the "One" ring to "Rule them all" (al races of mankind). The ring has two properties (the invisibility Power, like the invisibility of the Secret Societies, Terrorist Organizations (better said: Mercenary Organizations paid by them since they own all the wealth of the planet through Banking System), Money which the banking system is the power they use to control all of us. As he says in the book, the ring can only be destroyed where it was created and by destroying the One Ring mankind can be free, better said only by destroying secret societies from within and destroying the banking system, man will be free, otherwise the New World Order (Zionist Order) will be a reality, already it is. Also in the book, Sauron and the One ring were the same, he was the "all seeing Eye". Because his "Agents" (Reference from the Protocols of zion) are everywhere, thanks to freemasonry, secret societies, secret "Agencies", he has eyes everywhere. The key again is its secrecy (invisibility).

The Bible has many references to this "invisibility" where it says "beware of those whose acts are in the shadows, in the darkness".

Other popular references are in the movie "The Matrix", they control us for the mere purpose of generating energy (money) for them. Mankind is not free. And since they control the mercenary groups of the world (terrorism) they can spread more terror and have more control of the world through militarism that eventually will create the so called "Police State", destroying all the human rights and forms of human "freedom". Their bought "terrorist" acts by mercenaries only start real terrorist acts, and then make them even stronger. But their wealth power is so big, that they create this groups from the poorer, ignorant and miserable world they've created.

The New World Order is not a conspiracy anymore, is the World as it is today. Is the pyramid in the One dollar bill, since everything has been "designed" to be hierarchical, the churches, the government, the military, the organizations, the companies. And within this hierarchy the hidden (freemasons, secrets) are within and they are the "All-seeing-Eye". The base are us the man, the working class. The top, the all-seeing eye, is them.
