What is the New World Order (2 of 2)
Origins
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 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.
Current Beliefs
The theories in their present form can be traced to the collapse of the Soviet Union and President George H. W. Bush's new world order speech of September 11, 1990 (most conspiracy theorist point out the speech was delivered exactly 11 years before 9/11). In the speech, Bush describes the United States' objectives for post-cold-war cooperation with the former Soviet Union, using the phrase "new world order."
Religious Ties
Many Christian ideologies hold common beliefs with many of the “New World Order” theories. Many Christians interpret certain Apocalyptic prophecies from the Books of Daniel and Revelation as detailing a large International conspiracy which will feature an “Anti-Christ” figure who is described as being a charismatic leader that will head a global government.
Christian beliefs point to agents of Satan as deceiving humanity during these end times which will lead to the international order which will be categorized as having extreme devotion and opposition to the Anti-Christ.
Possible Historical Evidence
The conspirators thought to be responsible for the new world order are also suspected of staging many historical events such as World Wars and terrorist attacks. New world order theorists say that world leaders throughout history have successfully manipulated their people into wars using false flag operations. To support these assertions they cite what they consider to be previous examples of such manipulations:
• The Nazis capitalized on the Reichstag fire by blaming the Communists for it, thus eliminating support for the Communist party in Germany, and leading to Nazi domination of the legislature.
• The United States allegedly knew in advance of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, and President Roosevelt used the attacks as a "legitimate" reason for entering World War II.
• Operation Northwoods, a proposed series of false flag operations to be used as a pretext for an invasion of Cuba, was signed off by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but rejected by President Kennedy shortly before his assassination.
• The Gulf of Tonkin Incident led President Johnson to escalate U.S. hostilities in Vietnam
• The Federal Reserve Act, designed to regulate bankers, was written on a private island off the coast of Georgia in 1910 by bankers representing the JP Morgan, Rockefeller, and Rothschild interests. This allegedly gave the top international bankers the power to control and manipulate the United States economy.
• Elements of the United States government allegedly knew in advance of the attacks on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon, the Bush administration used the attacks as a "legitimate" reason to enter Afghanistan, and later Iraq.
