New World Order Quotes Wake Up!

"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of oppressions, begun 

at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (administrations), too 

plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to slavery." THOMAS JEFFERSON 

NEW [ONE] WORLD ORDER QUOTES

1986 - Regarding "the establishment" of which George Bush was a member, a book was written about 

some of its leaders and was titled The Wise Men (1986). It was co-authored by Rhodes Scholar, CFR 

member, and a Time editor, Walter isaacson, who described how 6 leaders "shaped a new world 

order," were internationalists, and had a "common outlook." One of them, Chip Bohlen, was quoted 

as saying about socialism: "maybe that is the road we ought to go down." Also in the book one 

reads that Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. in 1965 wrote: "The New York financial and legal community was 

the heart of the American establishment....its front organizations, the Rockefeller, Ford and Carnegie

foundations and the Council on Foreign Relations." 

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the 

United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a 

power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they 

better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." PRES WOODROW WILSON, the 

New Freedom (1913) 

1995 - July/August: In the CFR's Foreign Affairs, prominent CFR member Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. 

exclaims: "We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words 

and money." ARTHUR MEIER SCHLESINGER, JR

"It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations charter to which the American people will 

henceforth pledge their allegiance." PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH addressing the General Assembly of the U.N., 

February 1,1992. 

"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 

LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside 

threat from beyond [i.e., an "extraterrestrial" invasion], whether real or *promulgated* [emphasis mine], that 

threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. 

The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this *scenario*, individual rights will be 

willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government." DR.

HENRY KISSINGER; Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991

"My country's history, Mr. President, tells us that it is possible to fashion unity while cherishing diversity, that 

common action is possible despite the variety of races, interests, and beliefs we see here in this chamber. 

Progress and peace and justice are attainable. So we say to all peoples and governments: Let us fashion 

together a new world order." HENRY KISSINGER; in address before the General Assembly of the United 

Nations, October 1975

accept the New World Order." DAVID ROCKEFELLER 

"... when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very 

great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people 

- will hate the new world order - and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we 

have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-

looking people." H. G. WELLS, in his book entitled "The New World Order" (1939). 

 

"Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally 

disarmed." SARA BRADY, Chairman, Handgun Control, to Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, The National Educator, 

January 1994, Page 3. 

"Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient 

and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose. THE SOCIAL 

EXPERIMENT IN CHINA under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in 

human history." DAVID ROCKEFELLER, statement in 1973 about Mao Tse-tung: (NY Times 8-10-73) 

"We can see beyond the present shadows of war in the Middle East to a new world order where the strong work 

together to deter and stop aggression. This was precisely Franklin Roosevelt's and Winston Churchill's vision 

for peace for the post-war period." RICHARD GEPHARDT, in The Wall Street Journal (September 1990)

vision we've all worked toward for so long." PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH (January 1991)

intellectual prostitutes." JOHN SWINTON, former New York Times Chief of Staff

Journal (April 1992) 

"What Congress will have before it is not a conventional trade agreement but the architecture of a new 

international system....a first step toward a new world order." HENRY KISSINGER 1993 - July 18: CFR member 

and Trilateralist writes in The Los Angeles Times concerning NAFTA:

"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining super-capitalism 

and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced 

there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent." 

CONGRESSMAN LARRY P. MCDONALD, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the 

Soviets 

"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 subject to the bright lights

of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a 

world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable 

to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries." DAVID ROCKEFELLER founder of the Trilateral 

Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991. 

"The idea was that those who direct the overall conspiracy could use the differences in those two so-called 

ideologies [marxism/fascism/socialism v. democracy/capitalism] to enable them [the Illuminati] to divide larger 

and larger portions of the human race into opposing camps so that they could be armed and then brainwashed 

into fighting and destroying each other." MYRON FAGAN

Initiative, United Nations 

"Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards 

a new world order." MIKHAIL GORBACHEV, in an address at the United Nations, December 1988. 

"...In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It 

will look like a great 'booming, buzzing confusion,' to use William James' famous description of reality, but an 

end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-

fashioned frontal assault." RICHARD N. GARDNER, in "Foreign Affairs," April 1974. 

"In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary 

organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most

influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the 

daily press ... They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers; An 

agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was

furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, 

militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the 

interests of the purchasers." U.S. CONGRESSMAN OSCAR CALLAWAY, 1917

"The world can therefore seize the opportunity [Persian Gulf crisis] to fulfill the long-held promise of a New 

World Order where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of 

mankind." GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH

"In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. 

National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all." STROBE TALBOT, Pres. Clinton's Deputy Secretary of 

State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, l992.

"We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent." Statement by Council on 

Foreign Relations (CFR) member JAMES WARBURG to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 

17th, l950 

"Giving society cheap, abundant energy . . . would be the equivalent o f giving an idiot child a machine gun." 

PAUL EHRLICH, Stanford University 

"War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course, we are not strong enough to 

attack. Our time will come in thirty or forty years. To win, we shall need the element of surprise. The Western 

world will need to be put to sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on 

record. There shall be electrifying overtures and unheard of concessions. The capitalist countries, STUPID AND 

DECADENT, will rejoice to cooperate to their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends. As 

soon AS THEIR GUARD IS DOWN, WE SHALL SMASH THEM WITH OUR CLENCHED FIST." DMITRII Z. MANUILSKII

(Lenin School of Political Warfare, Moscow, 1931) 

"Christianity is our foe. If animal rights is to succeed, we must destroy the Judeo-Christian Religious tradition." 

PETER SINGER, the "Father of Animal Rights"

every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how 

it happened." NORMAN THOMAS, former U.S. Socialist Presidential Candidate

scenes." BENJAMIN DISRAELI, first Prime Minister of England, in a novel he published in 1844 called 

Coningsby, the New Generation 

"The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and 

ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the 

last moment upset all the governments' plans." BRITISH PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN DISRAELI, 1876 

"What is important is to dwell upon the increasing evidence of the existence of a secret conspiracy, throughout 

the world, for the destruction of organized government and the letting loose of evil." CHRISTIAN SCIENCE 

MONITOR EDITORIAL, June 19th, l920 

"The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length 

over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the 

head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses 

generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run 

the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties." 

NEW YORK CITY MAYOR JOHN F. HYLAN, 1922 

"From the days of Sparticus, Wieskhopf, Karl Marx, Trotsky, Rosa Luxemberg, and Emma Goldman, this world 

conspiracy has been steadily growing. This conspiracy played a definite recognizable role in the tragedy of the 

French revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century. And now 

at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America 

have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their head and have become the undisputed masters of that 

enormous empire." WINSTON CHURCHILL, stated to the London Press, in l922.

"We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of 

the clutches of the local nation states of the world." PROFESSOR ARNOLD TOYNBEE, in a June l931 speech 

before the Institute for the Study of International Affairs in Copenhagen. 

"The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had passed into the invisible 

hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semi-occult power 

which....pushed the mass of the American people into the cauldron of World War I." British military historian 

MAJOR GENERAL J.F.C. FULLER, l941 

"For a long time I felt that FDR had developed many thoughts and ideas that were his own to benefit this 

country, the United States. But, he didn't. Most of his thoughts, his political ammunition, as it were, were 

carefully manufactured for him in advanced by the Council on Foreign Relations-One World Money group. 

Brilliantly, with great gusto, like a fine piece of artillery, he exploded that prepared "ammunition" in the middle 

of an unsuspecting target, the American people, and thus paid off and returned his internationalist political 

support… "The UN is but a long-range, international banking apparatus clearly set up for financial and 

economic profit by a small group of powerful One-World revolutionaries, hungry for profit and power. … "The 

depression was the calculated 'shearing' of the public by the World Money powers, triggered by the planned 

sudden shortage of supply of call money in the New York money market....The One World Government leaders 

and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the U.S. via 

the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank." CURTIS DALL, FDR's son-in-law as quoted in his 

book, My Exploited Father-in-Law 

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the 

Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson." A letter written by FDR to Colonel House, November 

21st, l933 

"The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes." SUPREME COURT 

JUSTICE FELIX FRANKFURTER, 1952 

"Fifty men have run America, and that's a high figure." JOSEPH KENNEDY, father of JFK, in the July 26th, l936 

issue of The New York Times. 

"Today the path of total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and 

unheard by the Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We 

have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of 

government - a bureaucratic elite." SENATOR WILLIAM JENNER, 1954 

"The case for government by elites is irrefutable." SENATOR WILLIAM FULBRIGHT, Former chairman of the US 

Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stated at a 1963 symposium entitled: The Elite and the Electorate - Is 

Government by the People Possible? 

"The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and 

banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission 

represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power political, 

monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to create a worldwide 

economic power superior to the political governments of the nationstates involved. As managers and creators of 

the system, they will rule the future." U.S. SENATOR BARRY GOLDWATER in his l964 book: With No 

Apologies. 

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of 

financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the

world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world 

acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of 

the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and 

controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial 

capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit 

of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups." Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World 

in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966,) PROFESSOR CARROLL QUIGLEY of Georgetown University, highly 

esteemed by his former student, WILLIAM JEFFERSON BLYTHE CLINTON. 

"The Council on Foreign Relations is "the establishment." Not only does it have influence and power in key 

decision-making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also 

announces and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for 

converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member state of a one-world 

dictatorship." FORMER CONGRESSMAN JOHN RARICK 1971 

"The directors of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) make up a sort of Presidium for that part of the 

Establishment that guides our destiny as a nation." THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, September 1, l961 

"The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down...but in the end 

run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned 

frontal assault." CFR member RICHARD GARDNER, writing in the April l974 issue of the CFR's journal, 

Foreign Affairs. 

"The planning of UN can be traced to the 'secret steering committee' established by Secretary [of State Cordell] 

Hull in January 1943. All of the members of this secret committee, with the exception of Hull, a Tennessee 

politician, were members of the Council on Foreign Relations. They saw Hull regularly to plan, select, and 

guide the labors of the [State] Department's Advisory Committee. It was, in effect, the coordinating agency for 

all the State Department's postwar planning." PROFESSORS LAURENCE H. SHOUP AND WILLIAM MINTER, 

writing in their study of the CFR, "Imperial Brain Trust: The CFR and United States Foreign Policy." (Monthly 

Review Press, 1977). 

"The most powerful clique in these (CFR) groups have one objective in common: they want to bring about the 

surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the U.S. They want to end national boundaries 

and racial and ethnic loyalties supposedly to increase business and ensure world peace. What they strive for 

would inevitably lead to dictatorship and loss of freedoms by the people. The CFR was founded for "the purpose 

of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-

powerful one-world government." HARPERS, July l958 

"The old world order changed when this war-storm broke. The old international order passed away as 

suddenly, as unexpectedly, and as completely as if it had been wiped out by a gigantic flood, by a great tempest, 

or by a volcanic eruption. The old world order died with the setting of that day's sun and a new world order is 

being born while I speak, with birth-pangs so terrible that it seems almost incredible that life could come out of 

such fearful suffering and such overwhelming sorrow." NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER, in an address delivered 

before the Union League of Philadelphia, Nov. 27, 1915 

"The peace conference has assembled. It will make the most momentous decisions in history, and upon these 

decisions will rest the stability of the new world order and the future peace of the world." M. C. ALEXANDER, 

Executive Secretary of the American Association for International Conciliation, in a subscription letter for the 

periodical International Conciliation (1919) 

"If there are those who think we are to jump immediately into a new world order, actuated by complete 

understanding and brotherly love, they are doomed to disappointment. If we are ever to approach that time, it 

will be after patient and persistent effort of long duration. The present international situation of mistrust and 

fear can only be corrected by a formula of equal status, continuously applied, to every phase of international 

contacts, until the cobwebs of the old order are brushed out of the minds of the people of all lands." DR.

AUGUSTUS O. THOMAS, president of the World Federation of Education Associations (August 1927), quoted in 

the book International Understanding: Agencies Educating for a New World (1931) 

"... when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very 

great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people 

... will hate the new world order ... and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, 

we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and 

graceful-looking people." H. G. WELLS, in his book entitled The New World Order (1939) 

"The term Internationalism has been popularized in recent years to cover an interlocking financial, political, 

and economic world force for the purpose of establishing a World Government. Today Internationalism is

heralded from pulpit and platform as a 'League of Nations' or a 'Federated Union' to which the United States 

must surrender a definite part of its National Sovereignty. The World Government plan is being advocated 

under such alluring names as the 'New International Order,' 'The New World Order,' 'World Union Now,' 

'World Commonwealth of Nations,' 'World Community,' etc. All the terms have the same objective; however, the 

line of approach may be religious or political according to the taste or training of the individual." Excerpt from 

A Memorial to be Addressed to the House of Bishops and the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies of the 

Protestant Episcopal Church in GENERAL CONVENTION (October 1940) 

"In the first public declaration on the Jewish question since the outbreak of the war, Arthur Greenwood, 

member without portfolio in the British War Cabinet, assured the Jews of the United States that when victory 

was achieved an effort would be made to found a new world order based on the ideals of 'justice and peace.'" 

Excerpt from article entitled "New World Order Pledged to Jews," in The NEW YORK TIMES (October 1940) 

"If totalitarianism wins this conflict, the world will be ruled by tyrants, and individuals will be slaves. If 

democracy wins, the nations of the earth will be united in a commonwealth of free peoples, and individuals, 

wherever found, will be the sovereign units of the new world order." THE DECLARATION OF THE FEDERATION 

OF THE WORLD, produced by the Congress on World Federation, adopted by the Legislatures of North Carolina 

(1941), New Jersey (1942), Pennsylvania (1943), and possibly other states. 

"New World Order Needed for Peace: State Sovereignty Must Go”, Declares NOTRE DAME PROFESSOR Title of 

article in The Tablet (Brooklyn) (March 1942) 

"Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles tonight called for the early creation of an international organization of 

anti-Axis nations to control the world during the period between the armistice at the end of the present war and 

the setting up of a new world order on a permanent basis." Text of article in The PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

(June 1942) 

"The statement went on to say that the spiritual teachings of religion must become the foundation for the new 

world order and that national sovereignty must be subordinate to the higher moral law of God." American 

INSTITUTE OF JUDAISM, excerpt from article in The New York Times (December 1942) 

"There are some plain common-sense considerations applicable to all these attempts at world planning. They 

can be briefly stated: 1. To talk of blueprints for the future or building a world order is, if properly understood, 

suggestive, but it is also dangerous. Societies grow far more truly than they are built. A constitution for a new 

world order is never like a blueprint for a skyscraper." NORMAN THOMAS, in his book What Is Our Destiny? 

(1944)

"He [John Foster Dulles] stated directly to me that he had every reason to believe that the Governor [Thomas 

E. Dewey of New York] accepts his point of view and that he is personally convinced that this is the policy that 

he would promote with great vigor if elected. So it is fair to say that on the first round the Sphinx of Albany has 

established himself as a prima facie champion of a strong and definite new world order." Excerpt from article 

by RALPH W. PAGE in The Philadelphia Bulletin (May 1944) 

"Alchemy for a New World Order" Article by STEPHEN JOHN STEDMAN in Foreign Affairs (May/June 1995) 

"The United Nations, he told an audience at Harvard University, 'has not been able--nor can it be able--to 

shape a new world order which events so compellingly demand.' ... The new world order that will answer

economic, military, and political problems, he said, 'urgently requires, I believe, that the United States take the 

leadership among all free peoples to make the underlying concepts and aspirations of national sovereignty truly 

meaningful through the federal approach.'" GOV. NELSON ROCKEFELLER of New York, in an article entitled 

"Rockefeller Bids Free Lands Unite: Calls at Harvard for Drive to Build New World Order" -- The New York 

Times (February 1962) 

"The developing coherence of Asian regional thinking is reflected in a disposition to consider problems and 

loyalties in regional terms, and to evolve regional approaches to development needs and to the evolution of a 

new world order." RICHARD NIXON, in Foreign Affairs (October 1967) 

"He [PRESIDENT NIXON] spoke of the talks as a beginning, saying nothing more about the prospects for future 

contacts and merely reiterating the belief he brought to China that both nations share an interest in peace and 

building 'a new world order.'" Excerpt from an article in The New York Times (February 1972) 

"If instant world government, Charter review, and a greatly strengthened International Court do not provide 

the answers, what hope for progress is there? The answer will not satisfy those who seek simple solutions to 

complex problems, but it comes down essentially to this: The hope for the foreseeable lies, not in building up a 

few ambitious central institutions of universal membership and general jurisdiction as was envisaged at the end 

of the last war, but rather in the much more decentralized, disorderly and pragmatic process of inventing or 

adapting institutions of limited jurisdiction and selected membership to deal with specific problems on a case-

by-case basis ... In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from 

the top down. It will look like a great 'booming, buzzing confusion,' to use William James' famous description of 

reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than 

the old-fashioned frontal assault." RICHARD N. GARDNER, in Foreign Affairs (April 1974) 

"The existing order is breaking down at a very rapid rate, and the main uncertainty is whether mankind can 

exert a positive role in shaping a new world order or is doomed to await collapse in a passive posture. We 

believe a new order will be born no later than early in the next century and that the death throes of the old and 

the birth pangs of the new will be a testing time for the human species." RICHARD A. FALK, in an article 

entitled "Toward a New World Order: Modest Methods and Drastic Visions," in the book On the Creation of a 

Just World Order (1975) 

"At the old Inter-American Office in the Commerce Building here in Roosevelt's time, as Assistant Secretary of 

State for Latin American Affairs under President Truman, as chief whip with Adlai Stevenson and Tom Finletter 

at the founding of the United Nations in San Francisco, Nelson Rockefeller was in the forefront of the struggle 

to establish not only an American system of political and economic security but a new world order." Part of 

article in THE NEW YORK TIMES (November 1975) 

"A New World Order" Title of article on commencement address at the University of Pennsylvania by HUBERT

H. HUMPHREY, printed in the Pennsylvania Gazette (June 1977).

"But it became clear as time went on that in Mr. Bush's mind the New World Order was founded on a 

convergence of goals and interests between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, so strong and permanent that they 

would work as a team through the U.N. Security Council." Excerpt from A. M. ROSENTHAL, in The New York 

Times (January 1991) 

"I would support a Presidential candidate who pledged to take the following steps: ... At the end of the war in 

the Persian Gulf, press for a comprehensive Middle East settlement and for a 'new world order' based not on 

Pax Americana but on peace through law with a stronger U.N. and World Court." GEORGE MCGOVERN, in 

The New York Times (February 1990

prosperity for all." NELSON MANDELA, in The Philadelphia Inquirer (October 1994) 

"The renewal of the nonproliferation treaty was described as important "for the welfare of the whole world and 

the new world order." PRESIDENT HOSNI MUBARAK OF EGYPT, in The New York Times (April 1995)

"When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, 

giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans... and so a lot of people say there's too much 

personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in

service....Society must break the stranglehold of capitalism....The natural resources of the nation must be 

socialized....The state must socialize every group....Men must learn to have a world patriotism. World 

patriotism must be a faith....There is no more justice for the claim of absolute sovereignty on the part of anation than on the part of an individual....The only alternative is World Federation....with a world parliament, 

and international court, and an international police force....Men must have an international mind before there 

can be a world federation.

people of all lands."

Copenhagen in which he explains: "We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this 

mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we 

are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands, because to impugn the sovereignty of the local 

nation states of the world is still a heresy for which a statesman or publicist can perhaps not quite be burned at 

the stake but certainly be ostracized or discredited." --International Affairs (journal of the Royal Institute of 

International Affairs, i.e. the British version of the Council on Foreign Relations) Nov 1931, "The Trend of 

International Affairs Wince the War"

world is taking shape...which may point the way toward the new order."

U.S. Mission to the UN, in which he pronounces that "....World government could not be accepted without 

radical change of national outlook.... It will take a long time to prepare peoples and governments of most 

nations for acceptance of and participation in a world government....If we expect this future world government 

to be created by agreement and not by force or conquest, we will have to be willing to work patiently until 

peoples or governments are ready for it.... 

 

1949 - Towards World Understanding, vol. V, is published by UNESCO, and in this volume one reads: "As 

long as the child breathes the poisoned air of nationalism, education in world-mindedness can produce only 

rather precarious results....For the moment, it is sufficient to note that it is most frequently in the family that the 

children are infected with nationalism by hearing what is national extolled and what is foreign disparaged....The 

activity of the school cannot bring about the desired result unless, repudiating every form of nationalism..." 

 

1949 - The New World Order by communist Scott Nearing is published, in which he projects that "the one

machine Linked to Rhodes (Rhodes scholars) Men," stating: "Those who absorbed the Elmer Davis(Rhodes

scholar and head of OWI), Office of War Information training have pushed the British concept of policing the 

world with American soldiers and economic aid and have fought for a world federation under which the United 

States would surrender its sovereignty." About 40 years later, American soldiers will be stationed in many 

nations around the world as part of UN peacekeeping missions. 

 

1953 - The Impact of Science on Society by Fabian Socialist Bertrand Russell is published in which he 

declares: " I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology....Various results 

will soon be arrived at: that the influence of home is obstructive....although this science will be diligently 

studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its 

convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge 

of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or 

policemen....Educational propaganda, with government help, could achieve this result in a generation. There 

are, however, two powerful forces opposed to such a policy: one is religion; the other is nationalism....A 

scientific world society cannot be stable unless there is a world government. 

 

1959 - The West in Crisis by James Warburg is published, in which he proclaims that: "...a world order

without world law is an anachronism....A world which fails to establish the rule of law over the nation-states

Federalists. He is also the son of Paul Warburg, an architect of the Federal Reserve.

1960 - The United States in the World Arena by Walt Rostow (CFR) is published. In the book he declares: 

"It is a legitimate American objective to see removed from all nations--including the United States--the right to 

use substantial military force to pursue their own interest. Since this residual right is the root of national

sovereignty and the basis for the existence of an international arena of power, it is, therefore, an American 

interest to see an end to nationhood as it had been historically defined." 

 

1961 - Sept, State Department document 7277 titled, "Freedom From War: The U.S. Program for General and 

Complete disarmament in a Peaceful World" is published. Pres Kennedy delivers this to the UN on Sept 25. 

This document provides that the United States will disarm along with other countries so that the UN becomes 

the unchallengeable World power....disarmament "would proceed to a point where no state would have the 

military power to challenge the progressively strengthened UN Peace Force." This transition is still going on 

today. 

 

1962 - March 10 State Department Study Memorandum No. 7, "A World Effectively Controlled by the United

Nations, " written by CFR member Lincoln Bloomfield, in which he states: "A world effectively controlled by 

the United Nations is one in which "world government" would come about through the establishment of 

supranational institutions, characterized by mandatory universal membership and some ability to employ 

physical force....(But) if the communist dynamic was greatly abated, the West might lose whatever incentive it 

has for world government" It looks as if now the "communist menace" has been replaced by the "terrorist 

menace". And of course they can switch back to the communist menace or any other kind of menace whenever 

they want to. 

 

1962 - A lecture given by CFR member Nelson Rockefeller at Harvard University in which he says that there

perhaps than we may realize,....there will evolve the bases for a federal structure of the free world." 

 

1967 - March 26: Pope Paul VI writes Populorum Progressio and states: "Who can fail to see the need and 

importance of thus gradually coming to the establishment of a world authority capable of taking effective action

the press, teachers and educators--all of you must realize that you have your part to play in the construction of a 

new world order.

national security advisor. In this book he states: "Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the 

maturing of man's universal vision. Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external, active man over the 

inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief.....Human beings become increasingly manipulable and 

malleable...Today we are again witnessing the emergence of transnational elites....whose ties cut across national 

boundaries....The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty....Further progress will require greater 

American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be underta

about Communist China: "One is impressed immediately by the sense of national harmony....There is a very 

real and pervasive dedication to chairman Mao and Maoist principles. Whatever the price of the Chinese 

Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but 

also in fostering high morale and community purpose. General social and economic progress is no less 

impressive....The enormous social advances of China have benefited greatly from the singleness of ideology and 

purpose....The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and 

successful in history." 

 

1974 - Richard N. Gardner writing in Foreign Affairs (CFR) April 1974 Article entitled The Hard Road to 

World Order, "In short, the "house of world order: will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from

Institute for Humanistic Studies, in which he will respond to the question about "the new world order" as 

follows: "Whatever system is constructed, many people feel that the new global community will be monolithic; 

that is why the words "new world order" tend to connote a sort of 1984 Orwellian kind of notion where there is 

some master system...."

writes: All countries are basically social arrangements....No matter how permanent or even sacred they may

almost a seamless transition from President Bush to President Clinton in that regard....Our democracy has been

Communist leaders and expand their power and political life span. Religious and political mavericks in the 

totalitarian partners of the new world order get prison, or death, often both. The press of the democracies gets 

to write about the growth of order in the new order. Other citizens of the democracies get to say costs of 

imported goods are down, how nice. Americans and Europeans may come to object for political or moral 

reasons, or because the new world order may after all cost

SELECTED WARNINGS ABOUT A 'NEW WORLD ORDER' from the founder of The John Birch Society, 

Robert Welch, and published in the Society's Bulletin: 

 

1972 - May, page 10 "Or, as fellow Insider Mr. James Reston of the New York Times enthusiastically puts it, 

deliberately using the two-hundred years old language and slogan of the Conspiracy -- 'Mr. Nixon cannot 

become the head of a new world order (Novus Ordo Seclorum) unless the Communist nations are brought into 

the world order....' " 

 

1972 - Sept, page 29 "This plan is to establish -- very soon -- the first stages of a 'new world order.' This will 

be the novus ordo seclorum for which a self-perpetuating inner circle of Conspirators has been working and 

scheming relentlessly during some six generations...." 

 

1972 - Oct, page 28 "There should be no surprise for longtime readers of the Bulletin....that those plans include 

the conversion of the United States into a socialist nation....and the merger of that enslaved segment of mankind 

with other Communist nations into a New World Order. That goal, under that very name -- originally written in 

bastardized Latin as novus ordo seclorum -- has been envisioned by a Master Conspiracy for the past two 

hundred years as the ultimate product of all its crimes against humanity, and of all its subversive onslaughts 

against western civilization."
