Note by Carl Teichrib (www.forcingchange.org):
Are conspiracies real? The simple answer is “of course!” Anytime a
group exists there is potential for two or more within the group
who, after collaborating “beyond earshot,” jointly work to change
the goal, structure, or influence of that group in a way that
circumvents the knowledge and intent of the others. Every day
“conspiracies” occur in the workplace, in the school staff room, in
corporate boardrooms, church committees, and even among groups of
friends.

In the mainline media, those who adhere to
the position that there is some kind of "conspiracy" pushing us towards a
world government are virulently ridiculed. The standard attack maintains
that the so-called "New World Order" is the product of turn-of-the-century,
right-wing, bigoted, anti-semitic racists acting in the tradition of the
long-debunked Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion....The historical record does not support that
position, but it has become the mantra of the socialist
left and the media.
The term "New World Order" has been used
thousands of times in this century by proponents in high places of
federalized world government. Some of those involved in this collaboration
to achieve world order have been Jewish. The preponderance are not, so it
most definitely is not a Jewish agenda.
For years, leaders in education, industry,
the media, banking, etc., have promoted those with the same Weltanschauung
(world view) as theirs. Of course, someone might say that just because
individuals promote their friends doesn't constitute a conspiracy. That's
true in the usual sense. However, it does represent an "open conspiracy," as
described by noted Fabian Socialist H.G. Wells in The Open Conspiracy:
Blue Prints for a World Revolution (1928).
In 1913, prior to the passage of the Federal
Reserve Act, President Wilson's The New Freedom was published,
in which he revealed:
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly
had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in
the U. S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of
somebody, 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 had better not speak above their
breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
On November 21, 1933, President Franklin
Roosevelt wrote a letter to Col. Edward Mandell House, President Woodrow
Wilson's close advisor:
"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... "
That there is such a thing as a cabal of
power brokers who control government behind the scenes has been detailed
several times in this century by credible sources. Professor Carroll Quigley
was Bill Clinton's mentor at Georgetown University. President Clinton has
publicly paid homage to the influence Professor Quigley had on his life. In
Quigley's magnum opus Tragedy and Hope (1966), he states:
"There does exist and has existed for a
generation, an international...network which operates, to some extent, in
the way the radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this
network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to
cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups and frequently does so.
I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for
twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to
examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its
aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its
instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its
policies... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes
to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough
to be known."
Even talk show host Rush Limbaugh, an
outspoken critic of anyone claiming a push for global government, said on
his February 7, 1995 program:
"You see, if you amount to anything in
Washington these days, it is because you have been plucked or handpicked from an Ivy League school -- Harvard, Yale, Kennedy School of Government.... You are assigned a certain role
in government somewhere, and then your success is monitored and tracked, and
you go where the pluckers and the handpickers can put you."
On May 4, 1993, Council on Foreign Relations
(CFR) president Leslie Gelb said on The Charlie Rose Show that:
"...you [Charlie Rose] had me on
[before] to talk about the New World Order! I talk about it all the time.
It's one world now. The Council [CFR] can find, nurture, and begin to put
people in the kinds of jobs this country needs. And that's going to be one
of the major enterprises of the Council under me."
Previous CFR chairman,
John J. McCloy (1953-70), actually said they have been doing this since the 1940s (and
before).
The thrust towards global government can be
well-documented but at the end of the twentieth century it does not look
like a traditional conspiracy in the usual sense of a secret cabal of evil
men meeting clandestinely behind closed doors. Rather, it is a "networking"
of like-minded individuals in high places to achieve a common goal, as
described in Marilyn Ferguson's 1980 insider classic,
The Aquarian
Conspiracy.
Perhaps the best way to relate this would be
a brief history of the New World Order, not in our words but in the words of
those who have been striving to make it real.
1910 -- Columbia
University president Nicholas Murray Butler convinces steel-tycoon Andrew
Carnegie to establish the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace. The goal of this foundation is to
promote internationalism and help
create a public mindset that accepts a new global order. Elihu Root becomes the first president, followed by Butler
who holds the position from 1925 to 1945. Alger Hiss, later to be fingered
as a Communist asset, takes the chair after Butler.
1912 --
Colonel Edward M. House, a close advisor of President Woodrow Wilson,
publishes Phillip Dru: Administrator in which he promotes
"socialism as dreamed of by Karl Marx."
1912 --
The World Peace Foundation, with Nicholas Butler as an advisor,
published the pamphlet,
International Good-Will as a Substitute for Armies and Navies. This
short text called for “the organization of the world in relations of peace
and good-will!” The text explained, “It is no longer a dream, it is a
beginning.” This new organization for the world will include an
“International Court of Arbitral Justice,” “an International Congress,” “a
Code of International Laws,” “The Establishment of an International Police,”
and an “international Protectorate.” The World Peace Foundation, which was
founded in 1910 (with strong connections to Andrew Carnegie), still
exists today. Over the years the WPF has been an advocate for world
government.
1913 --
The Federal Reserve (neither federal nor a reserve) is created. It was
planned at a secret meeting in 1910 on Jekyl Island, Georgia by a group of
bankers and politicians, including Col. House. This transferred the power to
create money from the American government to a private group of bankers. It
is probably the largest generator of debt in the world.
October 18, 1914 --
The New York Times
published an interview with Columbia University president, Nicholas Murray
Butler. President Butler openly calls for a federated United States of
Europe, and admits that the “international organization of the world already
has progressed much farther than is ordinarily understood.” Explaining this
“international organization,” Butler tells Times readers,
“...the time
will come when each nation will deposit in a world federation some
portion of its sovereignty for the general good. When this happens it
will be possible to establish an international executive and an
international police, both devised for the especial purpose of
enforcing the decisions of the international court.”
1915 --
Speaking to the Union
League of Philadelphia, Nicholas Butler called for a “new world order” based
on an international outlook as a result of World War I.
“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.”
1915 --
Massachusetts’ House and Senate adopt H.R. 1226, affirming the “political
unity of all mankind,” “the supremacy of world sovereignty... [and] loyal
obedience to that sovereignty... the organization of the world government.”
May 30, 1919 --
Prominent British and American personalities establish the Royal Institute
of International Affairs in England and the Institute of International
Affairs in the U.S. at a meeting arranged by Col. House attended by
various Fabian socialists, including noted economist John Maynard Keynes.
Two years later, Col. House reorganizes the Institute of International
Affairs into the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
December 15, 1922 --
The CFR endorses World Government in its magazine Foreign Affairs. Author
Philip Kerr, states:
"Obviously there is going to be
no peace or prosperity for mankind as long as [the earth] remains
divided into 50 or 60 independent states until some kind of
international system is created... The real problem today is that of
the world government."
1928 -- The Open Conspiracy: Blue
Prints for a World Revolution by H.G. Wells is
published. A former Fabian Socialist, Wells writes:
"The...Open Conspiracy must
weaken, efface, incorporate and supersede existing governments... The
Open Conspiracy is the natural inheritor of socialist and communist
enthusiasms; it may be in control of Moscow before it is in control
of New York... The character of the Open Conspiracy will now be plainly
displayed... It will be a world religion."
1928 --
From the Communist
International Sixth World Congress: “The ultimate aim of the
Communist International is to replace world capitalist economy by a world
system of Communism.”
1931 --
Students at the Lenin School of Political Warfare in Moscow are taught:
"One day we shall start to spread the
most theatrical peace movement the world has ever seen. The
capitalist countries, stupid and decadent ... will fall into the trap
offered by the possibility of making new friends. Our day will come
in 30 years or so... The bourgeoisie must be lulled into a false
sense of security."
1932 --
New books are published urging World Order: One is Toward Soviet
America by William Z. Foster. Head of the Communist Party USA,
Foster indicates that a National Department of Education would be one of the
means used to develop a new socialist society in the U.S.
Another is
The New
World Order by F.S. Marvin, describing the League of Nations as the
first attempt at a New World Order. Marvin says, "nationality must rank
below the claims of mankind as a whole."
And the book,
Dare the
School Build a New Social Order? is published. Educator author George
Counts asserts that: “...the teachers
should deliberately reach for power and then make the most of their
conquest." This should be done in order to:
""influence the social attitudes, ideals and behavior of the coming
generation... The growth of science and technology has carried us into a new
age where ignorance must be replaced by knowledge, competition by
cooperation, trust in Providence by careful planning and private capitalism
by some form of social economy."
1933 --
The first Humanist Manifesto is published. Co-author John Dewey, the noted
philosopher and educator, calls for a synthesizing of all religions and "a
socialized and cooperative economic order." Co-signer C.F. Potter said in
1930:
"Education is thus a most powerful ally
of humanism, and every American public school is a school of humanism. What
can the theistic Sunday schools, meeting for an hour once a week, teaching
only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program
of humanistic teaching?"
1933 -- The Shape of Things to
Come by H.G. Wells is published. Wells
predicts a second world war around 1940, originating from a German-Polish
dispute. After 1945 there would be an increasing lack of public safety in
"criminally infected" areas. The plan for the "Modern World-State" would
succeed on its third attempt (about 1980), and come out of something that
occurred in Basra, Iraq. The book also states,
"Although world government had been
plainly coming for some years, although it had been endlessly feared and
murmured against, it found no opposition prepared anywhere."
1934 -- The Externalization of
the Hierarchy by Alice A. Bailey is published.
Bailey is an occultist, whose works are channeled from her spirit guide, the
Tibetan Master [demonic spirit] Djwahl Kuhl. Bailey uses the phrase "points of
light" in connection with a "New Group of World Servers" and
claims that 1934 marks the beginning of
"the organizing of the men and women... group
work of a new order... [with] progress defined by service...
the world of
the Brotherhood... the Forces of Light... [and] out of the spoliation of all
existing culture and civilization, the new world order must be built."
The book is published by the Lucis Trust,
incorporated originally in New York as the Lucifer Publishing Company.
Lucis Trust is a United Nations NGO and has been a major player at
the recent U.N. summits. Later Assistant Secretary General of the U.N.
Robert Mueller would credit the creation of his
World Core Curriculum for
education to the underlying teachings of [spirit guide]
Djwahl Kuhl via Alice Bailey's
writings on the subject.
1932 -- Plan for Peace
by American Birth Control League founder Margaret Sanger (1921) is
published. She calls for coercive sterilization, mandatory segregation, and
rehabilitative concentration camps for all "dysgenic stocks" including
Blacks, Hispanics, American Indians and Catholics.
October 28, 1939 --
In an address by John Foster Dulles, later U.S. Secretary of State, he
proposes that America lead the transition to a new order of less
independent, semi-sovereign states bound together by a league or federal
union.
1939 -- New World Order
by H. G. Wells proposes a collectivist one-world state"' or
"new world order"
comprised of "socialist democracies."
He advocates "universal conscription for service" and declares that
"nationalist individualism... is the world's
disease." He continues:
"The manifest necessity for some
collective world control to eliminate warfare and the less generally
admitted necessity for a collective control of the economic and biological
life of mankind, are aspects of one and the same process." He proposes that
this be accomplished through "universal law" and propaganda (or education)."
1940 -- The New World Order
is published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and contains
a select list of references on regional and world federation, together with
some special plans for world order after the war.
December 12, 1940
-- In The Congressional Record an article entitled A New World
Order John G. Alexander calls for a world federation.
1941 --
The Commission to Study the
Bases of a Just and Durable Peace, established by the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America and chaired by John Foster Dulles, publishes
the booklet, A Just and Durable Peace
- a collection of
documents from churches and religious bodies who support world organization.
“We recognize... that the ultimate solution of such
[world] problems as these calls for an organized world government to
which certain functions of national sovereignty shall be delegated, and
which shall function in the area of common interest between states... We
would, therefore, urge that Christian people in all lands study this
aspect of the problem of peace and make every possible effort to bring
about a world political organization.”
1942 --
The leftist Institute of Pacific Relations publishes Post War Worlds
by P.E. Corbett:
"World government is the ultimate
aim... It must be recognized that the law of nations takes precedence over
national law... The process will have to be assisted by the deletion of the
nationalistic material employed in educational textbooks and its replacement
by material explaining the benefits of wiser association."
June 28, 1945 --
President Truman endorses world government in a speech:
"It will be just as easy for nations to
get along in a republic of the world as it is for us to get along in a
republic of the United States."
October 24, 1945 --
The United Nations Charter becomes effective. Also on October 24, Senator
Glen Taylor (D-Idaho) introduces Senate Resolution 183 calling upon the U.S.
Senate to go on record as favoring creation of a world republic including an
international police force.
1946 --
Alger Hiss is elected President of the Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace. Hiss holds this office until 1949. Early in 1950, he is convicted of
perjury and sentenced to prison after a sensational trial and Congressional
hearing in which Whittaker Chambers, a former senior editor of Time,
testifies that Hiss was a member of his Communist Party cell.
1946 -- The Teacher and World
Government by former editor of the NEA
Journal (National Education Association) Joy Elmer Morgan is published.
He says:
"In the struggle to establish an
adequate world government, the teacher... can do much to prepare the hearts
and minds of children for global understanding and cooperation... At the
very heart of all the agencies which will assure the coming of world
government must stand the school, the teacher, and the organized
profession."
1947 --
The American Education Fellowship, formerly the Progressive Education
Association, organized by John Dewey, calls for the:
"... establishment of a genuine world
order, an order in which national sovereignty is subordinate to world
authority... "
October, 1947 --
NEA Associate Secretary William Carr writes in the NEA Journal that teachers
should:
"... teach about the various proposals
that have been made for the strengthening of the United Nations and the
establishment of a world citizenship and world government."
1947 -- Speaking at
Albert Hall, London, England, Winston Churchill tells his audience,
“The creation of an authoritative, all-powerful world
order is the ultimate aim
towards which we must strive. Unless some
effective World Super-Government can be set up and brought quickly
into action, the prospects for peace and human progress are dark and
doubtful. But let there be no mistake upon the main issue.
Without a United Europe there is no sure prospect of world government."
1948 -- Walden II
by behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner proposes
"a perfect society or new and more perfect order"
in which children are reared by the State, rather than by their parents and
are trained from birth to demonstrate only desirable behavior and
characteristics. Skinner's ideas would be widely implemented by educators in
the 1960s, 70s, and 80s as Values Clarification and Outcome Based Education.
July, 1948 --
Britain's Sir Harold Butler, in the CFR's Foreign Affairs,
sees "a New World Order"
taking shape:
"How far can the life of nations, which
for centuries have thought of themselves as distinct and unique, be merged
with the life of other nations? How far are they prepared to sacrifice a
part of their sovereignty without which there can be no effective economic
or political union?... Out of the prevailing confusion a new world is taking
shape... which may point the way toward the new order... That will be the
beginning of a real United Nations, no longer crippled by a split
personality, but held together by a common faith."
1948 --
UNESCO president and Fabian Socialist, Sir Julian Huxley, calls for a
radical eugenic policy in UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy.
He states:
"Thus, even though it is quite true
that any radical eugenic policy of controlled human breeding will be for
many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important
for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest
care and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake that much
that is now unthinkable may at least become thinkable."
1948 -- The
Association for Education in World Government was created. Later
the group would change its name to the Institute for International
Government (1952), then in 1954 it became the Institute for
International Order. The goal was the promotion of world government as a
solution to world problems.
1948 --
The preliminary draft of a World Constitution is published by U.S. educators
advocating regional federation on the way toward world federation or
government with England incorporated into a European federation.
The Constitution provides for a "World
Council" along with a "Chamber of Guardians" to
enforce world law. Also included is a "Preamble" calling upon
nations to surrender their arms to the world government, and includes the
right of this "Federal Republic of the World" to seize private
property for federal use.
1948 --
The Memoirs of Cordell Hull
is published. Hull was the longest running US Secretary of State and
best known as the Father of the United Nations. His memoirs relate,
“...exactly
four months after Hitler invaded Poland, I made clear my belief
that, when the war ended, the United States must take full share in the
responsibilities of a new world order - ‘a stable and enduring world
order under law.’ This goal obviously meant a world organization.”
1949: On
April 25, 1949, The Chicago Tribune ran an article about the
globalists who run our country, and quoted Justice Felix Frankfurter's
response to a German Rhodes Scholar who asked him, "Who really runs the
United States?"According to the article, Felix Frankfurter replied, "The
real rulers of a nation are undiscoverable." [Curtis Dall, FDR, My Exploited
Father-In-Law, Action Associates, Washington, D.C., 1967, p. 67.]
February 9, 1950 --
The Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee introduces Senate Concurrent
Resolution 66 which begins:
"Whereas, in order to achieve
universal peace and justice, the present Charter of the United
Nations should be changed to provide a true world government
constitution."
The resolution was first introduced in
the Senate on September 13, 1949 by Senator Glen Taylor (D-Idaho). Senator
Alexander Wiley (R-Wisconsin) called it "a
consummation devoutly to be wished for"
and said, "I understand your proposition is
either change the United Nations, or change or create, by a separate
convention, a world order." Senator Taylor
later stated:
"We would have to sacrifice
considerable sovereignty to the world organization to enable them to
levy taxes in their own right to support themselves."
1950 -- In
testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, international
financier James P Warburg said:
"we shall have a world government,
whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world
government will be achieved by consent or by conquest."
1
950 --
Bertrand Russell’s
Unpopular Essays
is published. Writing in support of world order, Russell
postulated: “I think we should admit that a world government will have to be
imposed by force.”
1950 --
Global financier and member of
the CFR, James P. Warburg, publishes Faith, Purpose and Power.
“The important thing is to get on with the job of
transforming the United Nations Charter into some form of World
Constitution acceptable to the majority of mankind as a foundation
upon which to build.”
1951 --
Pope Pius XII meets with
members of the World Movement for World Federal Government in the
Vatican. Pius XII tells them,
“Your movement, Gentlemen, has the task of creating
an effective political organization of the world. There is nothing more
in keeping with the traditional doctrines of the Church..."
April 12, 1952 --
John Foster Dulles, later to become
Secretary of State, says in a speech to
the American Bar Association in Louisville, Kentucky, that
"treaty laws can override the Constitution."
He says treaties can take power away from Congress and give them to the
President. They can take powers from the States and give them to the Federal
Government or to some international body and they can cut across the rights
given to the people by their constitutional Bill of Rights. A Senate
amendment, proposed by GOP Senator John Bricker, would have provided that no
treaty could supersede the Constitution, but it fails to pass by one vote.
1954 -- Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands establishes the Bilderbergers,
international politicians and bankers who meet secretly on an annual basis.
1954 -- H.
Rowan Gaither, Jr., President - Ford Foundation said to Norman Dodd of the
Congressional Reese Commission:
"... all of us here at the
policy-making level have had experience with directives... from the White
House... . The substance of them is that we shall use our grant-making power
so as to alter our life in the United States that we can be comfortably
merged with the Soviet Union."
1954 --
Senator William Jenner said:
"Today the path to 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 which believes our Constitution is
outmoded and is sure that it is the winning side.... All the strange
developments in the foreign policy agreements may be traced to this
group who are going to make us over to suit their pleasure.... This
political action group has its own local political support
organizations, its own pressure groups, its own vested interests, its
foothold within our government, and its own propaganda apparatus."
1958 -- World Peace through World
Law is published, where authors Grenville
Clark and Louis Sohn advocate using the U.N. as a governing body for the
world, world disarmament, a world police force and legislature.
1959 --
The Council on Foreign Relations calls for a New International Order
Study Number 7, issued on November 25, advocated:
"... new international order [which]
must be responsive to world aspirations for peace, for social and economic
change... an international order... including states labeling themselves as
'socialist' [communist]."
1959 --
The World Constitution and Parliament Association is founded which later
develops a Diagram of World Government under the Constitution for the
Federation of Earth.
1959 -- The Mid-Century Challenge
to U.S. Foreign Policy is published, sponsored
by the Rockefeller Brothers' Fund. It explains that the U.S.:
"... cannot escape, and indeed should
welcome... the task which history has imposed on us. This is the task of
helping to shape a new world order in all its dimensions -- spiritual,
economic, political, social."
September 9, 1960 --
President Eisenhower signs Senate Joint Resolution 170, promoting the
concept of a federal Atlantic Union. Pollster and Atlantic Union Committee
treasurer, Elmo Roper, later delivers an address titled, The Goal Is
Government of All the World, in which he states:
"For it becomes clear that the first
step toward World Government cannot be completed until we have advanced on
the four fronts: the economic, the military, the political and the social."
1961 --
The U.S. State Department issues a plan to disarm all nations and arm the
United Nations. State Department Document Number 7277 is entitled
Freedom From War: The U.S. Program for General and Complete Disarmament
in a Peaceful World. It details a three-stage plan to disarm all
nations and arm the U.N. with the final stage in which
"no state would have the military power to challenge the
progressively strengthened U.N. Peace Force."
1961 --
The Fund for Education
Concerning World Peace through World Law was created under the sponsorship
of the Institute for International Order. This new body operated
independently of the IIO, and in 1963 the name was changed to the World Law
Fund, and promoted the work of Grenville Clark and Louis Sohn, World
Peace Through World Law.
March 1, 1962 --
Sen. Clark speaking on the floor of the Senate about PL 87-297 which calls
for the disbanding of all armed forces and the prohibition of their
re-establishment in any form whatsoever.
"... This program is the fixed, determined and
approved policy of the government of the United States."
1962 -- New Calls for World
Federalism. In a study titled, A World
Effectively Controlled by the United Nations, CFR member Lincoln
Bloomfield states:"... if the communist dynamic was
greatly abated, the West might lose whatever incentive it has for world
government."
The Future of Federalism
by author Nelson Rockefeller is published. The one-time Governor of New
York, claims that current events compellingly demand a
"new world order," as
the old order is crumbling, and there is "a
new and free order struggling to be born."
Rockefeller says there is:
"a fever of nationalism... [but] the
nation-state is becoming less and less competent to perform its
international political tasks....These are some of the reasons pressing us
to lead vigorously toward the true building of a new world order... [with]
voluntary service... and our dedicated faith in the brotherhood of all
mankind.... Sooner perhaps than we may realize... there will evolve the
bases for a federal structure of the free world."
1963 -- J.
William Fulbright, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee speaks
at a symposium sponsored by the Fund for the Republic, a left-wing project
of the Ford Foundation:
"The case for government by elites is
irrefutable... government by the people is possible but highly improbable."
1964 --
Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Handbook II is published.
Author Benjamin Bloom states:
"... a large part of what we call 'good
teaching' is the teacher's ability to attain affective objectives through
challenging the students' fixed beliefs."
His Outcome-Based Education (OBE)
method of teaching would first be tried as Mastery Learning in
Chicago schools. After five years, Chicago students' test scores had
plummeted causing outrage among parents. OBE would leave a trail of wreckage
wherever it would be tried and under whatever name it would be used. At the
same time, it would become crucial to globalists for overhauling the
education system to promote attitude changes among school students.
1964 -- Visions of Order
by Richard Weaver is published. He describes:
"progressive educators as a
'revolutionary cabal'
engaged in
'a systematic attempt to
undermine society's traditions and beliefs.'"
1966 --
The World Law Fund publishes the
massive 4-volume series titled The Strategy of World Order. Volume 1
- Toward a Theory of War Prevention; Volume 2 - International Law;
Volume 3 - The United Nations; Volume 4 - Disarmament and Economic
Development.
These books, which act as repositories for various texts on world order,
promoted an international police force, world government, and global social
planning. From a contribution by Hans J. Morgenthau,
“...total disarmament and world government go hand in
hand
; they compliment each other. In a totally disarmed world the
problem of an international police force ceases to exist and
reappears in the form - new in its dimensions and old in its substance -
of the police of a world government.”
1967 --
Richard Nixon calls for New World Order.
In Asia after Vietnam, in the October issue of Foreign Affairs, Nixon writes
of nations' dispositions to evolve regional approaches to development needs
and to the evolution of a "new world order."
1968 --
Joy Elmer Morgan, former editor of the NEA Journal publishes The
American Citizens Handbook in which he says:
"the coming of the United Nations and
the urgent necessity that it evolve into a more comprehensive form of world
government places upon the citizens of the United States an increased
obligation to make the most of their citizenship which now widens into
active world citizenship."
July 26, 1968 --
Nelson Rockefeller pledges support of the New World Order. In an Associated
Press report, Rockefeller pledges that,
"as President, he would work toward
international creation of a new world order."

Education and the mass media promote world order. In Thinking About A
New World Order for the Decade 1990, author Ian Baldwin, Jr. asserts
that:
"... the World Law Fund has begun a
worldwide research and educational program that will introduce a new,
emerging discipline -- world order -- into educational curricula throughout

The World Law Fund merged
with its creator, the Institute for International Order, and became
the Institute for World Order. The World Order Models Project came
under the IWO umbrella. Over the years this interlocking set of
organizations received ongoing funding through large foundations, including
the Carnegie and Rockefeller groups. In 1982 the IWO became known as the
World Policy Institute, and still exists under that name as a leading
think-tank on issues of global governance (and still receives money from
major foundations).
Countless university professors
and students have been influenced by these institutions and their projects,
which stem back to the
Association for Education in World Government in 1948.
Likewise, a multitude of foreign policy personnel have fed from this “world
order” trough.

is published:
"The next century can be and should be
the humanistic century... we stand at the dawn of a new age... a secular
society on a planetary scale.... As non-theists we begin with humans not
God, nature not deity... we deplore the division of humankind on
nationalistic grounds.... Thus we look to the development of a system of
world law and a world order based upon transnational federal government....
The true revolution is occurring."

member Richard Gardner's article The Hard Road to World Order
is published in the CFR's Foreign Affairs where he states
that:
"the 'house of world order' will have
to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down... but an end
run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish
much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault."
1974 --
The World Conference of Religion for Peace, held in Louvain, Belgium is
held. Douglas Roche presents a report entitled We Can Achieve a New

International Studies, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International
Studies, Princeton University.
1975 -- In
Congress, 32 Senators and 92 Representatives sign A Declaration of
Interdependence, written by historian Henry Steele Commager. The Declaration states that:
"we must join with others to bring
forth a new world order... Narrow notions of national sovereignty must not
be permitted to curtail that obligation."
Congresswoman Marjorie Holt refuses to sign
the Declaration saying:
"It calls for the surrender of our
national sovereignty to international organizations. It declares that our
economy should be regulated by international authorities. It proposes that
we enter a 'new world order' that would redistribute the wealth created by
the American people."
1975 --
Retired Navy Admiral Chester Ward, former Judge Advocate General of the U.S.
Navy and former CFR member, writes in a critique that the goal of the CFR is
the "submergence of U. S.
sovereignty and national independence into an all powerful one-world
government... "
1975 -- Kissinger on the Couch
is published. Authors Phyllis Schlafly and former CFR member Chester Ward
state:
"Once the ruling members of the CFR
have decided that the U.S. government should espouse a particular policy,
the very substantial research facilities of the CFR are put to work to
develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy and
to confound, discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition... "

necessary for local civil peace, then world civil government is necessary
for world peace."
1979 --
Barry Goldwater, retiring Republican Senator from Arizona, publishes his
autobiography With No Apologies. He writes:
"In my view The Trilateral Commission
represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate
the four centers of power -- political, monetary, intellectual, and
ecclesiastical. All this is to be done in the interest of creating a more
peaceful, more productive world community. What the Trilateralists truly
intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the
political governments of the nation-states involved. They believe the
abundant materialism they propose to create will overwhelm existing
differences. As managers and creators of the system they will rule the
future."
1984 -- The Power to Lead
is published. Author James McGregor Burns admits:
"The framers of the U.S. constitution
have simply been too shrewd for us. The have outwitted us. They designed
separate institutions that cannot be unified by mechanical linkages, frail
bridges, tinkering. If we are to 'turn the Founders upside down' -- we must
directly confront the constitutional structure they erected."
1985 --
Norman Cousins, the honorary chairman of Planetary Citizens for the
World We Chose, is quoted in Human Events:
"World government is coming, in fact,
it is inevitable. No arguments for or against it can change that fact."

for World Federation (WAWF), headquartered in Amsterdam. WAWF
is a leading force for world federal government and is accredited by the
U.N. as a Non-Governmental Organization.
1987 -- The Secret Constitution
and the Need for Constitutional Change is
sponsored in part by the Rockefeller Foundation. Some thoughts of author
Arthur S. Miller are:
"... a pervasive system of thought
control exists in the United States... the citizenry is indoctrinated by
employment of the mass media and the system of public education... people
are told what to think about... the old order is crumbling... Nationalism
should be seen as a dangerous social disease... A new vision is required to
plan and manage the future, a global vision that will transcend national
boundaries and eliminate the poison of nationalistic solutions... a new
Constitution is necessary."
1988 --
Former Under-secretary of State and CFR member George Ball in a January 24
interview in the New York Times says:
"The Cold War should no longer be the
kind of obsessive concern that it is. Neither side is going to attack the
other deliberately... If we could internationalize by using the U.N. in
conjunction with the Soviet Union, because we now no longer have to fear, in
most cases, a Soviet veto, then we could begin to transform the shape of the
world and might get the U.N. back to doing something useful... Sooner or
later we are going to have to face restructuring our institutions so that
they are not confined merely to the nation-states. Start first on a regional
and ultimately you could move to a world basis."
December 7, 1988 --
In an address to the U.N., Mikhail Gorbachev calls for mutual consensus:

Carl Bernstein's (Woodward and Bernstein of Watergate fame) book Loyalties: A Son's Memoir is published. His father and mother had
been members of the Communist party. Bernstein's father tells his son about
the book:
"You're going to prove [Sen. Joseph]
McCarthy was right, because all he was saying is that the system was
loaded with Communists. And he was right... I'm worried about the kind
of book you're going to write and about cleaning up McCarthy. The
problem is that everybody said he was a liar; you're saying he was
right... I agree that the Party was a force in the country."
1990 -- The World Federalist
Association faults the American press. Writing
in their Summer/Fall newsletter, Deputy Director Eric Cox describes world
events over the past year or two and declares:
"It's sad but true that the slow-witted
American press has not grasped the significance of most of these
developments. But most federalists know what is happening... And they are
not frightened by the old bug-a-boo of sovereignty."
1990 -- Over 3000
delegates took part in the World Environment Energy and Economic Conference
in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - a precursor to the 1992 UN Earth Summit.
This 1990 event, hosted by UNESCO, the Manitoba government, and the
International Council of Associations for Science Education, had for its
theme: “Sustainable Development Strategies and the New World Order.”
Published in its final report was a presentation titled “Towards a Global
Green Constitution,” which called for a planetary system of rigid
environmental controls that “some would equate to a police state.”
“Enforcement agencies would need the power to act
without being invited by the offending nation. Therefore, there needs to
be an agency that is acceptable to all nation states on the planet. We
can probably accept the fact that there will always be one or more
nations that will not go along but there must be effective sanctions in
place. If sanctions do not work, then physical occupation and the
installation of a World Trusteeship would be imposed upon the offending
nations.”
September 11, 1990 --
President Bush calls the Gulf War an opportunity for the New World
Order. In an address to Congress entitled Toward a New World
Order, Mr. Bush says:
"The crisis in the Persian Gulf offers
a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of
these troubled times... a new world order can emerge in which the nations of
the world, east and west, north and south, can prosper and live in
harmony.... Today the new world is struggling to be born."
September 25, 1990 --
In an address to the U.N., Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze

Order." On December 31, Gorbachev declares
that the New World Order
would be ushered in by the Gulf Crisis.
October 1, 1990 --
In a U.N. address, President Bush speaks of the:
"... collective strength of the world
community expressed by the U.N. ... an historic movement towards a new world

own... to bring about a revolution of the spirit and the mind and begin a
journey into a... new age."
1991 --

President Bush praises the
New World Order
in a State of Union Message:
"What is at stake is more than one
small country, it is a big idea -- a new world order... to achieve the
universal aspirations of mankind... based on shared principles and the rule
of law.... The illumination of a thousand points of light....
The winds of change are with us now."

The Council on Foreign Relations co-sponsors an assembly Rethinking
America's Security: Beyond Cold War to New World Order which is
attended by 65 prestigious members of government, labor, academia, the
media, military, and the professions from nine countries. Later, several of
the conference participants joined some 100 other world leaders for another
closed door meeting of the Bilderberg Society in Baden Baden,
Germany. The Bilderbergers also exert considerable clout in
determining the foreign policies of their respective governments. While at
that meeting, David Rockefeller said in a speech:
"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 lights of publicity during those years. But, the
world is now 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 auto-determination
practiced in past centuries."
July, 1991 --
The Southeastern World Affairs Institute discusses the
New World Order. In a
program, topics include, Legal Structures for a New World Order
and The United Nations: From its Conception to a New World Order.

and a former Secretary General of International Planned Parenthood.
Late July, 1991 --
On a Cable News Network program, CFR member and former CIA director
Stansfield Turner (Rhodes scholar), when asked about Iraq, responded:
"We have a much bigger objective. We've
got to look at the long run here. This is an example -- the situation
between the United Nations and Iraq -- where the United Nations is
deliberately intruding into the sovereignty of a sovereign nation... Now
this is a marvelous precedent (to be used in) all countries of the world...
"
October 29, 1991 --
David Funderburk, former U. S. Ambassador to Romania, tells a North Carolina
audience:
"George Bush has been surrounding
himself with people who believe in one-world government. They believe that
the Soviet system and the American system are converging." The vehicle to
bring this about, said Funderburk, is the United Nations, "the majority of
whose 166 member states are socialist, atheist, and anti-American."
The vehicle to bring this about, said Funderburk, is the
United Nations, "the majority of whose 166 member states are socialist,
atheist, and anti-American." Funderburk served as ambassador in Bucharest
from 1981 to 1985, when he resigned in frustration over U.S. support of the
oppressive regime of the late Rumanian dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu.
1991 --
Journey to a Governed World
is published.
It’s author, Lucile Green is a long-time World Federalist and early signer
of the Constitution for the Federation of Earth. She writes,
“A new consciousness is also emerging
from a growing awareness in the West of the wisdom of the Eastern
world-view. Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism and Shinto, while they differ in
many respects, portray the world as a multi-dimensional, organically
interrelated eco-system of which man is one of many inter-dependent
parts. Perhaps we can learn through them to see the world whole, as it
really is, and together - West and East - begin to build the foundations
of a new world order.
The most urgent item on the planetary
agenda is to set the limits of freedom and order in supra-national,
global affairs. A constitution for the world is needed which combines
the achievements of both hemispheres: that is, constitutional
limitations and a bill of rights from the West and a spacious world-view
from the East.”
October 30, 1991: --
President Gorbachev at the Middle East Peace Talks in Madrid states:
"We are beginning to see practical
support. And this is a very significant sign of the movement towards a new
era, a new age... We see both in our country and elsewhere... ghosts of the
old thinking... When we rid ourselves of their presence, we will be better
able to move toward a new world order... relying on the relevant mechanisms
of the United Nations."
Elsewhere, in Alexandria, Virginia, Elena
Lenskaya, Counsellor to the Minister of Education of Russia, delivers the
keynote address for a program titled, Education for a New World Order.
1992 -- The Twilight of
Sovereignty by CFR member (and former Citicorp
Chairman) Walter Wriston is published, in which he claims:
"A truly global economy will require
... compromises of national sovereignty... There is no escaping the system."
1992 -- The United Nations
Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) Earth Summit
takes place in Rio de Janeiro this year, headed by Conference
Secretary-General Maurice Strong. The main products of this summit are the
Biodiversity Treaty and Agenda 21, which the U.S. hesitates to sign because
of opposition at home due to the threat to sovereignty and economics. The
summit says the first world's wealth must be transferred to the third world.
July 20, 1992 --
Time magazine publishes The Birth of the Global Nation by
Strobe Talbott, Rhodes Scholar, roommate of Bill Clinton at Oxford
University, CFR Director, and Trilateralist, in which he writes:
"All countries are basically social
arrangements... No matter how permanent or even sacred they may seem at any
one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary... Perhaps national
sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all... But it has taken the
events in our own wondrous and terrible century to clinch the case for world
government."
As an editor of Time, Talbott defended
Clinton during his presidential campaign. He was appointed by President
Clinton as the number two person at the State Department behind Secretary of
State Warren Christopher, former Trilateralist and former CFR Vice-Chairman
and Director. Talbott was confirmed by about two-thirds of the U.S. Senate
despite his statement about the unimportance of national sovereignty.
September 29, 1992 --
At a town hall meeting in Los Angeles, Trilateralist and former CFR
president Winston Lord delivers a speech titled Changing Our Ways:
America and the New World, in which he remarks:
"To a certain extent, we are going to
have to yield some of our sovereignty, which will be controversial at
home... [Under] the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)... some
Americans are going to be hurt as low-wage jobs are taken away."
Lord became an Assistant Secretary of State
in the Clinton administration.
1992 --
President Bush addressing the General Assembly of the U.N said:
"It is the sacred principles enshrined
in the United Nations charter to which the American people will henceforth
pledge their allegiance."
Winter, 1992-93 --
The CFR's Foreign Affairs publishes Empowering the United Nations
by U.N. Secretary General Boutros-Boutros Ghali, who asserts:
"It is undeniable that the
centuries-old doctrine of absolute and exclusive sovereignty no longer
stands... Underlying the rights of the individual and the rights of peoples
is a dimension of universal sovereignty that resides in all humanity... It
is a sense that increasingly finds expression in the gradual expansion of
international law... In this setting the significance of the United Nations
should be evident and accepted."
1993 --
Strobe Talbott receives the Norman Cousins Global Governance Award for his
1992 Time article, The Birth of the Global Nation and
in appreciation for what he has done "for the cause of global governance."
President Clinton writes a letter of congratulation which states:
"Norman Cousins worked for world peace
and world government.... Strobe Talbott's lifetime achievements as a voice
for global harmony have earned him this recognition... He will be a worthy
recipient of the Norman Cousins Global Governance Award. Best wishes... for
future success."
Not only does President Clinton use the
specific term, "world government," but he also expressly wishes the WFA
"future success" in pursuing world federal government. Talbott proudly
accepts the award, but says the WFA should have given it to the other
nominee, Mikhail Gorbachev.
July 18, 1993 --
CFR member and Trilateralist Henry Kissinger writes in the Los Angeles
Times concerning NAFTA:
"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."
August 23, 1993 --
Christopher Hitchens, Socialist friend of Bill Clinton when he was at Oxford
University, says in a C-SPAN interview:
"... it is, of course the case that
there is a ruling class in this country, and that it has allies
internationally."
October 30, 1993 --
Washington Post ombudsman Richard Harwood does an op-ed piece about
the role of the CFR's media members:
"Their membership is an acknowledgment
of their ascension into the American ruling class [where] they do not merely
analyze and interpret foreign policy for the United States; they help make
it."
January/February, 1994 --
The CFR's Foreign Affairs prints an opening article by CFR Senior
Fellow Michael Clough in which he writes that the "Wise Men" (e.g. Paul
Nitze, Dean Acheson, George Kennan, and John J. McCloy) have:
"assiduously guarded it [American
foreign policy] for the past 50 years... They ascended to power during World
War II... This was as it should be. National security and the national
interest, they argued must transcend the special interests and passions of
the people who make up America... How was this small band of Atlantic-minded
internationalists able to triumph ... Eastern internationalists were able to
shape and staff the burgeoning foreign policy institutions... As long as the
Cold War endured and nuclear Armageddon seemed only a missile away, the
public was willing to tolerate such an undemocratic foreign policy making
system."
1994 -- In
the Human Development Report, published by the UN Development Program, there
was a section called "Global Governance For the 21st Century".
The administrator for this program was appointed by Bill Clinton. His name

"Mankind's problems can no longer be
solved by national government. What is needed is a World Government. This
can best be achieved by strengthening the United Nations system."
1995 --
The State of the World Forum took place in the fall of this year, sponsored
by the Gorbachev Foundation located at the Presidio in San Francisco.
Foundation President Jim Garrison chairs the meeting of who's-whos from
around the world including Margaret Thatcher, Maurice Strong, George Bush,
Mikhail Gorbachev and others. Conversation centers around the oneness of
mankind and the coming global government. However, the term "global
governance" is now used in place of "new world order" since the latter has
become a political liability, being a lightning rod for opponents of global
government.
1995 --
The Government of Canada releases its
report,
Towards A Rapid Reaction Capability For The United Nations.
This document makes the case for an empowered UN, equipping it with funding
through a world tax and granting it the ability to arms itself with a global
military and police force. The Danish government releases a similar report.
1996 --
The United Nations 420-page report Our Global Neighborhood is
published. It outlines a plan for "global governance," calling for an
international Conference on Global Governance in 1998 for the
purpose of submitting to the world the necessary treaties and agreements for
ratification by the year 2000.
1996
--
State of the World Forum
II will take place again this fall in San Francisco. This time, many of
the sessions are closed to the press.
NOTE: It is here that Dr. Dennis Cuddy ends his chronology. The following
points up to the Year 2000 are added by myself - Carl Teichrib. Further,
these entries will be in black/blue as opposed to red in the previous body
of the text. Finally, there are many events that could be added - both up to
and after the Year 2000 - but space and time disallows these additions.
1997 --
Former UN official, Robert Mueller, is the
keynote speaker at the Global Citizenship 2000 Youth Congress in Vancouver,
BC, Canada. Here he tells students and participants,
“I am asking now that
either the United Nations would be tremendously strengthened, or create
a United States of the world.. Or let us take the European Union now, as
a model which is better than the United Nations, for a United World. Or
let us take all the World Federalists together to create a World
Federation. Or let us create regional units, the European Union, an
American Union, which I’ve been pushing too - and this is how you got
the trade agreement between the US and Canada. And then we’ll take the
five continents and the five continents, if they’re united, will create
a World Union.”
1998 --
EarthAction International publishes the background
information for its document, Call For A Safer World. Through the paper they
advocate a United Nations rapid reaction force under the control of the UN
Secretary General, the formation of an International Criminal Court, global
disarmament, a planetary environmental council, the creation of a UN
People’s Assembly, and a global funding for the UN through world taxation.
1998 --
Canadian Member of Parliament, Lorne Nystrom, introduced the
idea of a global tax in the Canadian Parliament.
“One of the consequences would be the establishment of a
global village which would have a common good amongst all nations of the
world. There would be a strengthening of international organizations.
The United Nations would become a meaningful world government...”
1998 --
120 nations adopted the Rome Statute, which set the legal
basis for the International Criminal Court (this statute entered force in
2002). What many don’t know is that the birth of the ICC was viewed as a
victory for world government, especially from the World Federalist
community, which had worked hard behind the scenes in lobbying for its
creation. In fact, Bill Pace - a top official with the World Federalist
Movement - had been traveling the world on a quiet campaign, visiting
heads-of-state in developing countries (especially the Caribbean), and had
secured a coalition of nations who would by-pass the diplomatic roadblocks
put in place by first-world countries.
1999 -- Walter
Conkite is awarded the World Federalist Association, Norman Cousins Global
Governance Award for his promotion of world government. Hilary Clinton sends
a congratulatory video.
1999 -- Initiated
and supported by World Federalists, the Hague Appeal for Peace was launched
as a high-level conference. Part of the Appeal platform is a global peace
education program focusing on global governance themes.
2000 -- The United
Nations Millennium Forum convenes, bringing to the UN headquarters a wide
swath of delegates from civil society; non-governmental organizations. These
groups are, for the most part, sympathetic to global governance, and the
credential process to attend the Forum is hosted in large part through the
World Federalist Association. Indeed, unknown to many, the UNMF is stacked
to support World Federalist proposals. Over the course of the week, the UNMF
working group on strengthening the United Nations discussed world taxation
themes, and the creation of a UN People’s Assembly and International
Criminal Court.
2000 -- The United
Nations Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders
brought together hundreds of religious officials, who dedicated themselves
to peace issues, global citizenship, and international cooperation. This
event was the brainchild of Ted Turner, who created the United Nations
Foundation, and Maurice Strong, a long-time internationalist who was
involved in the Commission on Global Governance.
2000 -- The
International Monetary Fund convened a one-day conference to discuss the
creation of a single global currency. The star attraction for this event was
Robert Mundell, Professor of Economics at Columbia University and an
influential figure behind the creation of the Euro currency.
2000 -
-
The United Nations Millennium Summit was the largest gathering of
heads-of-state for that year, focussing the eyes of the world on New York
City. At the same time, Gorbachev’s State of the World Forum was also taking
place in the same city, and the two events became revolving doors for
diplomats and world leaders. Both events were viewed as milestones in
promoting international cooperation and global governance, with an
underlying theme of advancing the “new world order.”
