A New Look at the New World Order

A recent report on health conditions in Iraq, issued by an International Study
Team, states that there has been a 380 percent increase in Iraqi child
mortality. The authors emphasise that the sanctions imposed on Iraq are a
violation of human rights and warn that the "Iraqi people" are the victims of
"another weapon of mass destruction, the effective withdrawal of food and
other necessities." The terrible tragedy that is daily unfolding in Iraq is
the end product of the fact that Iraq has been selected as a test case for the
implementation of what George Bush has repeatedly called the 'New World
Order'. The U.S. President and his allies have targeted the Iraqi people for 
genocide by insisting that the sanctions be maintained until Saddam Hussein is 
removed from power.

     As U.S. academic Noam Chomsky observed: "The Gulf War has torn aside the
     veil covering the post Cold War era. It has revealed a world in which the
     United States enjoys unchallenged military supremacy and is prepared to
     exploit this advantage ruthlessly. The new world order (in which the New
     World gives the orders) has arrived." (Deterring Democracy)

     Much has been written about this 'New World Order'. None the less the
     question - 'what does it all mean?' - is still being asked by many
     people. Is it just some vague concept or a global nightmare?

     Any investigation of this New World Order must be set against the
     backdrop of the difficulties currently facing U.S. capitalism. United
     States competiveness on the world market has declined. Japan, Germany and
     the soon to be born United Europe give Washington enough reason to
     formulate new plots to tame political trouble-makers and initiate new
     strategies of global domination. Like Rome before its fall, the United
     States ruling elites are seeking to deflect attention away from domestic 
     concerns and onto the world stage. There are obvious signs that not only 
     is the U.S. economy in deep trouble but American society itself is 
     collapsing from within. Economic difficulties together with grave social 
     problems are evidence of deep-seated ills. Drug addiction and escalating 
     crime are signs of a decaying system. Ethnic tensions, bureaucratization, 
     and the theatricalization and trivialization of politics and society are 
     indicators of a profound social malaise. Further, the winds of change

 that are blowing in this last decade of the 20th century have convinced 
 Western leaders, that if the world capitalist system is to be maintained, 
 they must strike a new global 'arrangement'. Washington knows that for the 
 U.S. to hold onto its hegemony over the world's political, economic and 
 cultural affairs, a 'New World Order' in which the United States is the 
 unquestioned 'global policeman' is essential. Accordingly when President Bush 
 addressed the United Nations General Assembly he termed his New World Order a 
 'Pax Universalis'. A world under the 'universal peace' of Western liberal
 capitalist domination, enforced by United States military supremacy.

     Martin Walker reported in the Guardian Weekly on 10 February, 1991:

"In his State of the Union address President Bush urged Americans to prepare 
for the "next American century" in a New World Order that should be defined by 
U.S. leadership in the war against Iraq. "We are the nation that can shape the 
future... We are the only nation on this earth that could assemble the forces 
of peace. This is the burden of leadership, and the strength that has made 
America the beacon of freedom in a searching world."

     Like any good salesman George Bush has hawked his dream of a New World
     Order with all the imagery of Hollywood. Promising much, but delivering
     only death and destruction, the White House is putting on a
     self-confident, victorious front. Noam Chomsky writes: "According to the
     conventional picture, the US has won the Cold War. Righteousness has
     triumphed over evil with the victory of democracy, free-market
     capitalism, justice and human rights. As standard-bearer of the cause,
     the United States now leads the way to a New World Order of peace,
     economic development, and cooperation among those who have seen the light
     - virtually everyone except for some holdouts like Cuba which still
     complains that the Third World isn't getting its due, and Saddam Hussein,
     despite our dedicated efforts to improve his behaviour by the carrot
     rather than the stick; an error of judgement to be rectified by the sword
     of the righteous avenger." (Deterring Democracy)

     The validity of this 'marketing imagery' is seriously called into 
     question when we begin to peel away the verbiage of the New World Order 
     and face up to the truth about what it means for the peoples of the 
     earth. If Iraq and the Gulf War were the 'test case' of this 'new order'
     a thinking person begins to wonder if it should be more correctly termed
     a 'New Dark Age'. Is Mr Bush's 'pax universalis' the peace of the grave?


War Against the 'South'

     "The US economy may not emerge from recession this year, but long term
     trends are clearer. Indeed, in the next several years, the predicament of
     the US industrial and financial sectors holds a message for East Asia:
     the New World Order in the aftermath of the Gulf War will be far less
     hospitable than the old one."

Jeffrey Garten, 'Asia and the New Economic Order', FEER, 11 April, 1991.
(emphasis added)

     "Much of the world's future may be shaped by this conflict. By defining 
     the US role in the 'New World Order' as one of global police force, 
     President Bush is charting a course for America and the rest of the 
     world. This course is based on US military intervention to control access 
     to oil and other natural resources in the Third World. The Gulf War is 
     the culmination of more than a decade of US energy policies that have 
     consistently undermined efforts to promote efficiency and renewable 
     alternatives to oil. The war is being used to give a powerful new boost 
     to efforts to exploit oil and other natural resources in native lands and 
     ecologically fragile wilderness areas. It is also being used to breathe 
     new life into poisonous corporate energy 'alternatives' like nuclear 
     power. The US is at war to control the flow of oil into the world's 
     smog-producing automobiles and smoke-belching, toxic waste-producing 
     factories. With 6% of the world's population, the US consumes 25% of the 
     world's oil."

Third World Resurgence, no.7, Penang, Malaysia, March 1991.

     According to British press reports, George Bush decided on committing 
     U.S. military forces to the Gulf after discussions with then British PM 
     Margaret Thatcher, while at a conference of the Aspen Institute held in 
     Colorado between August 8 and August 10. It is indeed revealing that what 
     Thatcher had to say in her formal presentation to the conference echoed 
     central themes of the New World Order. Pre-dating by nearly one year 
     George Bush's call for global free market capitalism in his speech in 
     September 1991 at the UN General Assembly, Thatcher stated that Western 
     financial assistance will go only to those Third World countries "which 
     offer the best prospect of stability, which welcome enterprise, and give 
     a fair rate of return, with the right to repatriate a reasonable 
     proportion of the profits. Investment won't come into a country unless it 
     can also get out."

     Under the subhead, "The Global Agenda," Thatcher put forward the
     Malthusian position pointing to population as the main environmental
     danger. Adhering to the racist line of the Anglo-American ruling elite
     she said: "Our ability to come together to stop or limit damage to the
     world's environment will be the greatest test of how far we can act as a
     world community... Science is still feeling its way and some
     uncertainties remain. But we know that very high population growth is
     putting enormous pressure on the earth's resources.... The costs of doing
     nothing, of a policy of wait and see, will be much higher than those of
     taking preventive action now to stop the damage getting worse."

     Thatcher's speech showed some basic core positions that are part of the 
     New World Order. Positions however that are not new but have been part of 
     Western liberal free market thinking for a number of years. Back in 1960 
     James Schlesinger, later to become Nixon's CIA director, wrote an article 
     headlined "The Political Economy of National Security." His thesis: 
     "Despite the modification of the original Malthusian doctrine over the 
     years, the danger remains that the excessive growth of population will 
     wipe out the gains of economic progress.... We must in our strategic 
     policy return to the days before the Industrial Revolution and prepare to 
     fight limited wars."

     During the years of the Ford administration, in 1974 and 1975, Henry
     Kissinger prepared plans for the U.S. invasion of the Saudi Arabian oil
     fields, which according to the then U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia James
     Akins, are those which were carried out during the Gulf crisis. Akins put
     it this way in the Virginia Pilot on September 17, 1990: "In January
     1975, the neo-conservative publication Commentary carried an article
     proposing invasion of Saudi Arabia as a solution to the eternal Arab
     problem and to our own economic problems," Akins wrote. "I suggested that
     anyone who would take this proposition seriously was a madman, a criminal
     or a Soviet agent. Henry Kissinger, then U.S. secretary [of state], had
     another view, and my career in the Foreign Service did not extend much
     beyond that point."

     On November 29, 1990, NATO Secretary General Manfred Woerner, speaking at
     the North Atlantic Assembly said that NATO "assets" should be available
     for "co-ordination and support" of "crisis management and prevention"
     efforts similar to what was then taking place in the Gulf. He argued: "A
     more interdependent world is also a more fragile one, more vulnerable to 
     threats and blackmail.... Along the southern perimeter of Europe, there 
     is to some extent an arc of tension from the Maghreb to the Middle East. 
     Tensions are exacerbated not only by the ambitions of dictators like 
     Saddam Hussein, but also by population growth, resource conflict, 
     migration, underdevelopment, religious fundamentalism, and terrorism. 
     Clearly, threats to NATO's territorial integrity from beyond Europe 
     cannot be down-played as out-of-area threats" (emphasis added).

     The sharpest picture of the New World Order can perhaps be seen in the 
     ravings of Conrad Black's Sunday Telegraph editorialist, Peregrine 
     Worsthorne. On September 3, 1991, Worsthorne wrote that what the world 
     now needs is "a new form of imperialism directed against the countries of 
     the Third World.... If peace-keeping is imperialism, so be it." He 
     couched his proposal in terms of the necessity to create a new worldwide 
     "anti-barbarian alliance," to control the flow of advanced weaponry to 
     "primitive peoples" in the Third World. And more, Worsthorne insisted 
     that nothing effective can be done about problems such as famine and 
     other human disasters, especially in Africa, "without the advanced 
     countries re-exerting political control - i.e., a return to colonialism." 
     This tirade was published under the headline, "Imperialists for Peace."



Technological Determinism

     By limiting or controlling the flow of technology the Western elites
     believe they can prolong the capitalist world order. Through a process of
     "technological determinism" the advanced capitalist states in the North
     of the globe can use technology to impose their standards on cultural
     trends and have a direct effect on the organisation, thinking and
     attitudes of the developing sector, the South. This works in the form of
     a vicious cycle and affects culture. As the technological gap widens
     between the haves and have-nots and technology makes advances in the
     industrial world, Third World states push for their share, if their
     national policies are acceptable to the ruling Western elites then they
     are provided with a few 'crumbs'. Inevitably the quest for Western
     technology means that they lose their cultural identity in the process.
     Like the prostitutes and junkies on the streets of Western cities these
     Third World states become 'hooked' and are made dependent on the
     capitalist sys

tem. Technological progress is conditional on the acceptance of Western 
liberal values. Nations which refuse to go along with this cultural 
colonialism are targeted for slander, economic blockade, sanctions, and 
starved of technology. If they persist in their independent policies they will 
be the victims of military attack. The Italian journalist Maurizio Blondet, in 
an article in Avennire on February 27, 1991, noted: "The designed victims of 
this policy are those countries which are successfully building up industries, 
including military industries, independent from other countries.... Iraq, the 
Muslim country with the highest rate of literacy, is perhaps the first victim 
of the American policy."

     Science, is for the Western ruling elites, not the inheritance of all
     humanity but a valuable commodity to be bargained-with and sold on the
     open market for a very high price: the surrender of cultural integrity,
     national sovereignty and independence.

     Although the Western camp in general is operating on this platform of
     'technological apartheid', the United States in particular is working on 
     the mechanisms of monopolising the issue of technology transfer and 
     striving through its institutions to control such transfers. Washington, 
     as a matter of policy, has resorted to threatening and blackmailing some 
     unyielding Third World states in search of modern technology. There are 
     several U.S. and affiliated agencies engaged in this undeclared warfare 
     to establish American domination if necessary by force, intimidation and
     "civilised warnings".

     Access to technology is invariably linked to the recipients ability to
     pay and as most developing countries do not have access to that kind of
     cash, the recognized place to get financing is the IMF, World Bank and
     western investment corporations. Thus, in order to address their pressing
     technological needs, Third World states are forced to borrow. And this is
     exactly what Washington wants. When the rule 'the borrower is servant'
     comes into play the West can dictate its relationship with the
     debt-seekers. To be eligible for loans and international credits the
     technology seekers must integrate into the world market.

     Experience has shown that states which have fallen into this trap in
     their search for progress are more often than not stuck in a vicious
     cycle. They inevitably lose their freedom and their independence.

     To the extent that force is now actively employed as a means of 
     technology transfer policies, it is evident that the U.S. engineered New 
     World Order, banking on its industrial progress and technological 
     advancement, is seeking to make its domination total and permanent. This 
     same order will arrange for the disintegration of those countries which 
     have the potential to stand up and challenge the new order. Countries 
     which possess economic, political and demographic potential to confront 
     the New World Order.



New World Empire

     When one peels away the lies and puts all the major pieces into place it
     becomes horrifyingly apparent what this New World Order really is. This
     is an effort to establish a new world empire, based on the control,
     through military means, of raw materials such as oil, and the reduction
     of what its partisans call "excessive population growth." It is a plan
     for an empire founded on genocide. Given these facts is anyone really
     surprised that the sanctions on Iraq are still in place? The Western
     ruling elites are carrying out a premeditated policy of genocide. This is
     the New World Order!

     As we have noted the elements of this New Order include:

     a) Technology control; in the name of preventing access to the modern 
     technology which permits military capabilities to be developed. Demanded 
     against Iraq, this, like the "out-of-area" deployments, is also 
     generalised as a policy.

     b) Raw materials control; here the occupation of the Gulf oil fields  and
     the establishment of permanent U.S. 'rapid deployment' bases in the
     region is the beginning.

     c) Food control; developed out of the concentration of world cereal
     production for export among primarily the U.S.A., Canada, and Australia,
     and their insistence, through such ventures as GATT, that other countries
     abandon policies of food security through fostering agricultural
     development, by submitting to the dictates of the free market. Egypt's
     daily grain supply is controlled directly by the United States, for
     example.

     d) Population reduction; control the flows of technology, raw materials 
     and food, human life then continues at the whim and caprice of those who 
     would arrogate such control to themselves.

     Dr. Ali Mazrui, award-winning author of "The Africans" and an
     internationally respected African scholar commented that the New World
     Order is "a kind of global apartheid." A cursory look at some of the
     people who are the inspiration behind Mr Bush's New World Order certainly
     confirms Dr. Mazrui's analysis.

     Calls for some kind of "New World Order" have come from a range of
     powerful groups and individuals over the last 70 years. After the Second
     World War, with the Yalta agreement and the founding of the United
     Nations organisation commentators and statesmen were agreed that the
     world was on the verge of a new era. During the 1950s American
     conservatives like James Burnham of the National Review postulated a "New
     World Order" along arch conservative lines.

     However the central theme of a "New World Order" goes back a very long 
     way. Indeed it could well be said that ever since Man has been on the 
     earth certain elitist groups have sought - and actively plotted - some 
     form of global domination. From ancient Babylon and Rome to the British 
     Empire powerful people have dreamt of total global hegemony. An objective 
     study of what some writers have termed "hidden history" unveils the 
     existence of numerous quasi-religious cults, freemasonic networks, secret 
     societies, as well as secular political, philosophical and social 
     movements, all committed to the realisation of global domination by a 
     wealthy, powerful elite, i.e. a New World Order. Space does not permit a 
     thorough and complete exposure of these interlocking groups and their 
     manipulation of politics, economics and culture. Needless to say all 
     these coercive and powerful elitist bodies have a stake in the New World 
     Order.

     There is one particular 'elitist tradition' that has influenced George
     Bush personally and shaped much of the thinking of the current
     Anglo-American elites.

     In 1919 a British "secret society" was established called "The Round
     Table". Its purpose was to propagandise for an Anglo-Saxon run world
     government that would guarantee "world peace". This British organisation
     grew out of the life-long dream of the racist gold and diamond magnate
     Cecil Rhodes for a "new world order". Sara Millin, Rhodes' biographer put
     it more bluntly: "The government of the world was Rhodes' simple desire."

     Afflicted with a heart condition, Rhodes wrote numbers of wills assigning 
     his fortune to trustees who would carry out his purpose. According to 
     Frank Aydelotte in his book American Rhodes Scholarships: "The seven 
     wills which Cecil Rhodes made between the ages of 24 and 46 [Rhodes died 
     at age 48] constitute a kind of spiritual autobiography.... Best known 
     are the first (the Secret Society Will...), and the last, which 
     established the Rhodes Scholarships...." Rhodes's first will included the 
     following passage directing that his fortune form the endowment of a 
     "secret society" devoted to:

     "The extension of British rule throughout the world.... The colonisation
     by British subjects of all lands where the means of livelihood are
     attainable by energy, labour, and enterprise and especially the
     occupation by British settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the
     Holy Land, the Valley of the Euphrates, the islands of Cyprus and Candia,
     the whole of South America, the islands of the Pacific not heretofore
     possessed by Great Britain, the whole of the Malay Archipelago, the
     seaboard of China and Japan, the ultimate recovery of the United States
     of America as an integral part of the British Empire...." (Cecil Rhodes:
     The Anatomy of Empire)

     Around the same time he wrote an "Open Letter" to his collaborator W.T. 
     Steed, editor of the Pall Mall Gazette. The 1891 letter was not published
     until after his death:

     "Please remember the key of my idea discussed with you is a Society
     copied from the Jesuits as to organisation, the practical solution a
     differential rate (tariff).... That the work, with America in the
     forefront, is devising tariffs to boycott your manufacturers and that
     this is the supreme question, for I believe that England with fair play
     should manufacture for the world and, being a Free Trader, I believe
     until the world comes to its senses you should declare war - I mean a
     commercial war - with those who are trying to boycott your
     manufacturers.... You might finish the war by union with America and
     universal peace, I mean after 100 years." (Cecil Rhodes: The Anatomy of
     Empire)

     Frank Aydelotte continues:

     "In 1888 Rhodes made his third will... leaving everything to Lord 
     Rothschild [his financier in mining enterprises], with an accompanying 
     letter enclosing 'the written matter discussed between us.' This, one 
     surmises, consisted of the first will and the 'Confession of Faith,'
     since in a postscript Rhodes says 'in considering questions suggested
     take Constitution of the Jesuits if obtainable....' "

     Apparently for strategic reasons Lord Rothschild, was subsequently
     removed from the forefront of the scheme. In his 1300-page, magnus opus 
     Tragedy and Hope Professor Carol Quigley unmasks a conspiratorial network 
     of powerful elitists who have for many decades been working towards a 
     "New World Order". Professor Quigley noted that Lord Rosebury "replaced 
     his father-in-law, Lord Rothschild, in Rhodes' secret group and was made 
     a trustee...."

     The "secret society" was organised on the conspiratorial pattern of
     circles within circles. Professor Quigley informs us that the central
     part of the "secret society" was established by March, 1891, using
     Rhodes' money. The organisation was run for Rothschild by Lord Alfred
     Milner. The Round Table worked behind the scenes at the highest levels of
     British government, influencing foreign policy and England's involvement
     and conduct of World War One.

     According to Professor Quigley:

     "At the end of the war of 1914, it became clear that the organization of 
     this system [The Round Table Group] had to be greatly extended. Once 
     again the task was entrusted to Lionel Curtis who established, in England 
     and each dominion, a front organization to the existing Round Table 
     Group. This front organization, called the Royal Institute of 
     International Affairs, had as its nucleus in each area the existing 
     submerged Round Table Group. In New York it was known as the Council on 
     Foreign Relations, and was a front for J. P. Morgan and Company in 
     association with the very small American Round Table Group. The American 
     organizers were dominated by the large number of Morgan 'experts,'... who 
     had gone to the Paris Peace Conference and there became close friends 
     with the similar group of English 'experts' which had been recruited by 
     the Milner group. In fact, the original plans for the Royal Institute of 
     International Affairs and the Council on Foreign Relations [C.F.R.] were 
     drawn up in Paris...."

     The Council on Foreign Relations (C.F.R.) was spawned by the Round Table 
     Group and held to its elitist views of world government and control. 
     According to Dr. Quigley the C.F.R. was founded by the most important 
     financial dynasties in America. Its original membership comprised 
     international financiers such as Jacob Schiff, Averell Harriman, Frank 
     Vanderlip, Nelson Aldrich, Bernard Baruch, J.P. Morgan and John D. 
     Rockefeller. These wealthy capitalists did not create the C.F.R. because 
     they had nothing better to do with their time and money. They created it 
     as a tool to further their ambitions.

     The Christian Science Monitor of September 1, 1961, in one of a very few
     articles published in the main line press on the C.F.R. called it "one of
     the most influential semi-public organisations in the field of foreign
     policy."

     The C.F.R. has come to be known as "The Establishment" or "the invisible
     government" because of the power it weilds. The Christian Science Monitor
     states: "Because of the Council's single-minded dedication to studying
     and deliberating American foreign policy, there is a constant flow of its
     members from private to public service. Almost half of the Council
     members have been invited to assume official government positions or to
     act as consultants at one time or another."

     As columnist Joseph Kraft, himself a member of the C.F.R., noted of the
     Council in Harper's of July 1958: "It has been the seat of some basic
     government decisions, has set the context for many more, and has
     repeatedly served as a recruiting ground for ranking officials."

     International banking organisations that are linked to the C.F.R. include
     Kuhn, Loeb & Co; Lazard Freres (a Rothschild affiliate); Dillon Read; 
     Lehman Bros.; Goldman, Sachs; Chase Manhattan Bank; Morgan Guaranty Bank; 
     Brown Bros. Harriman; First National City Bank; Chemical Bank & Trust, 
     and Manufacturers Hanover Trust Bank. Among the major multinational 
     corporations which have men in the C.F.R. are Standard Oil, IBM, Xerox, 
     Eastman Kodak, Pan American, Firestone, U.S. Steel, General Electric. 
     Among the communications corporations represented in the Council Are NBC, 
     CBS, Time, Life, Look, Newsweek, New York Times, Washington Post, Los 
     Angeles Times, etc.

     The C.F.R. consists of some of the most powerful members of the ruling 
     class. For decades C.F.R. literature has openly trumpeted the necessity
     of working for a "New World Order". One no doubt in which the rich make
     the rules! It is this plutocratic elitist tradition that has spawned
     C.F.R. men like Henry Kissinger and George Bush.

     The Council on Foreign Relations is linked by joint membership and
     interlocking projects with other oligarchical groupings such as the
     Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, the Club of Rome, and a
     number of elitist 'think tanks' and networks. All share a common
     commitment to a New World Order.



Oligarchy

     The New World Order, as we have seen, constitutes a direct attack on 
     national sovereignty and the right of the ordinary people to rule 
     themselves by themselves. Former U.S. presidential advisor Brzezinski, a 
     Council on Foreign Relations member, pointed out a few years back: "The 
     national state has ceased to be principle creative force: international 
     banks and multi-national corporations are acting and planning in terms 
     that are far in advance of the political concepts of national states." 
     The ideal world for these capitalist elitists is one peopled by a 
     uniform, cultureless mass of consumers, useless eaters inhabiting a 
     Global Supermarket.

     Groups such as the C.F.R., the Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission etc, as
     we have seen, are made up of the world's richest and most influential
     people. They are the ruling circles of international monopoly capitalism
     and are sworn enemies of national culture and national sovereignty.

     W.J. Kenyon Jones, chairman of Ronson defines the duty of a corporate
     executive:

"He must set aside any nationalistic attitudes and appreciate that in the last 
resort his loyalty must be to his shareholders of the parent company, and he 
must protect their interests even if it might appear that it is not perhaps in 
the national interest of the country in which he is operating. Apparent 
conflict may occur in such matters as the transfer of funds at a period of 
national crisis, a transfer of production from one subsidiary to another, or a
transfer of export business."

     International monopoly capitalism finds its perfect political
     manifestation in the centralised, hierarchical, oligarchical system of
     the New World Order. Charles Levinson writes:

"No matter how complex and large modern enterprises become, the specialized 
and segmented sectors of operational managers or scientist-employees will 
never permit them to dictate to the centers where real overall power and 
control is concentrated. The technology and structure of industry has changed 
drastically over the past decades in such branches as petroleum, chemicals, 
engineering, transportation, communications, etc. Banking, finance and credit 
institutions have been radically transformed as well. Major modifications have 
occurred in the mode of ownership, especially through domination of the 
Western economies by multinational companies. Nation states are losing control 
over their economies to the new global system of the multinationals. Despite 
these profound and far-reaching changes of structure and technology, real 
power and control in the enterprises remains essentially with the same 
families, banks and combines as in the past. If anything, they are stronger 
and more concentrated than before. Rockefeller, Du Pont, U.S. Steel, Mellon, 
Fiat, Shell, Unilever and the fifty leading banks of the world continue to 
rule over their technologically transformed empires. One merely needs to 
compare the ownership and control of the oil companies, the chemical, rubber, 
pharmaceutical, electronic and space industries of the world to appreciate 
that real power and control has not been substantially transferred or 
distributed in the West.  (Vodka-Cola)

     We need not search to far to see all these elements in George Bush's
     vision of a New World Order. It is a vision encompassing all the great,
     albeit retrograde and anti-life, imperatives of the modern world. A
     convalescing and narrowing of the age old dream of world domination. A
     fundamentally perverse worldview that posits a small oligarchical elite
     ruling over a mass of subjects who are deliberately kept in a state of
     backwardness and degeneracy.

     A form of imperial fascism in which:

     "The elite claims for itself the right to plunder this population, 
     whether it be through the arbitrary setting of ground rent, control of a 
     usury-based credit system, the mechanism of state power itself, or 
     through the ruthless extraction of the last ounce of labor from their 
     subjects, be they slaves, serfs, or other inferior beings whose death 
     through exhaustion is viewed as a normal event." (The Hitler Book)



A New Dark Age

     Finalising this introductory overview of the forces behind Mr Bush's New
     World Order there is yet another important aspect to be touched upon.

     At the end of the Second World War with the signing of the Yalta 
     agreement between the 'great powers' the world was divided into two 
     spheres of influence, with supposedly opposed poles: Washington and 
     Moscow. With the collapse of the Eastern bloc over the last few years we 
     have witnessed the dawn of an era in which Moscow and Washington are 
     openly working with one accord. The New World Order is now upon us 
     stemming from a common agreement between the so-called 'great powers'.  
     The global elites of East and West have realised a form of 'world 
     imperium' on the foundation of a shared worldview. Liberalism, bourgeois 
     parliamentary 'democracy', free market capitalism, the supremacy of 
     international 'law' (enforced by the U.S. policeman), global dictatorship 
     vested in the UN Security Council, and a materialist consumer culture, 
     are the sacrosanct idols of our modern world. Behind these 'principles' 
     stand the ruling circles of East and West i.e. capitalist exploiters, 
     international financiers, party functionaries, technocrats, bureaucrats 
     and decadent regal relics. The leaders of the modern world vie with each 
     other for varying degrees of influence within the parameters of elitist 
     consensus. Rejecting any notion of perennial wisdom or natural law they 
     view man as an 'economic animal'. Hence rulership is exercised from the 
     ability of this or that oligarchical elite to force its will upon its
     underlings. Law has no objective basis in their system; all is relative
     and what counts is the power to avoid responsibility for one's own acts.

     This oligarchical system is workable, of course, only if the popular
     masses accept this state of affairs and ostensible superiority of the
     oligarchical elite, and conceive of themselves as objects, not subjects,
     of events. It is for this reason that the oligarchical system requires
     more precise and more ingenious mechanisms of mass control in order to
     protect itself against unwelcome surprises. The preferred mechanism of
     control is a web of mythology for the masses to believe in. These myths
     are carefully cultivated and applied by the elites or by designated
     cultic agencies. They effectively neutralise any opposition from the
     masses by keeping them conditioned, 'asleep' to their responsibilities,
     their lives debauched by an artificial 'culture' of drugs, alcohol, sex,
     consumer goods and irrationality. The individual is thus neutralised by
     his belief that he is above all and in need of nothing, when in reality
     he is just a slave to the system, awash in its 'culture' of pessimism
     and triviality.

     Since the dawn of history all mass-orientated forms of political 
     intelligence operations have been mediated under the auspices of either
     religious or quasi-religious cults. What was Marxism-Leninism with its 
     trinity of idols of Marx, Engels and Lenin? A secular religion complete 
     with priests (communist cadres), church (the party) and holy writ (the 
     collected works of its founders). But, Freemasonry is perhaps the best 
     known oligarchical formations of this type. However, there are many 
     secret society formations through which the ruling circles function.  The
     powerful secret society networks of the French 'Priory of Sion', the
     Italian P2 lodge, the Order of Malta and related bodies have received
     some attention in recent years.

     Here we have seen the New World Order in a nutshell. A world empire
     established at the expense of the sovereignty of states and the right of
     self-determination of nations. Run by an international Establishment of
     elitists, sometimes seemingly opposed but in reality perfectly united and
     co-ordinated. A world consisting of two primary classes: the masters and
     the slaves, the rulers and the ruled. A world (dis)order held together by
     a web of irrational, cultic mythology and consumerism pushed by a network
     of programmed cultic bodies and secular civic associations. The New World
     Order is the modern day Rome, a world of confusion and irrationalism
     openly based on the oligarchical system of power and domination.

     What should be our response in the face of this global Sinarchy? We must
     organise a worldwide resistance. The New World Order is digging its own 
     grave, our task is to survive, to resist and to prepare for the 
     inevitable struggle. We must draw our plans of resistance from the battle 
     plans of the enemy. Answer their elitist global organisation with our own 
     international people's resistance. Confront their cultural pessimism and 
     cultic irrationalism with truth and a dynamic New Vision of tomorrow that 
     sees Man as the viceregent of God on earth. We must call for genuine 
     progress that answers human needs and defend national sovereignty in the 
     face of global exploitation and robbery. Above all each one of us must 
     dedicate ourselves to this Great Struggle! We must resist this New Dark 
     Age!
