A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY
OF
THE NEW WORLD ORDER
by D.L. Cuddy, Ph.D.
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, now promulgated by
some Militias and other right-wing hate groups.
The
historical record does not support that position to any large degree but
it has become the mantra of the socialist left and their cronies, 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 individ- uals 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've shown an aptitude to be a
good Ivy League type, and so you're plucked so-to-speak, and you are
assigned success. You are assigned a certain role in government
somewhere, and then your success is monitored and tracked, and you go
where the pluck- ers 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.
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."
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.
May 30,
1919 --
Prominent British and American personalities establish the Royal
Institute of International Affairs in England & the Institute of
International Affairs in the US 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
political world of the ... Open Conspiracy must weaken, efface,
incorporate and supersede existing governments...
The
Open Conspiracy is the natural inheritor of socialist and comm- unist enthusiasms; it
may be in control of Moscow before it is in con- trol
of New York... The character of the Open Conspiracy will now be plainly
displayed... It will be a world religion."
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 & 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."
1931 -- In a speech to the
Institute for the Study of International Affairs at Copenhagen) historian
Arnold Toyee said:
"We
are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this
mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local
nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips
what we are doing with our hands...."
1932 -- New books are
published urging World Order: 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.
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."
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" 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 a 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 a
spirit guide, the Tibetan Master [demon 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 Djwahl Kuhl
via Alice Bailey's writings on the subject.
1932 -- Plan
for Peace
by American Birth Control League founder Margaret Sanger (1921) is

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 con- trol 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

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

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

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."

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 controled 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
& that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake that much
that is now unthinkable may at least become thinkable."
1948 -- The preliminary draft
of a World Constitution is published by U.S. educators advocating

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

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 Constit- ution." 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.

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."

completed until we have advanced on the four fronts: the economic, the
military, the political and the social."

Department issues a plan to disarm all nations and arm the United
Nations. State Department Doc- ument 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

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

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

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.

the new policy and to con- found, discredit, intellectually and
politically, any opposition.."

No Apologies. He writes:
"In
my view The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful,
coord- inated 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

constitutional structure they erected."

1987 -- The
Secret Constitution and the Need for Constitutional Change is sponsored in part

"...
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."

Your going to prove Sen McCarthy was right, because all he was saying is
that the system was loaded with Communists. And he was right. I'm worried

about cleaning up McCarthy. The problem is that everybody said he was a
liar; yer saying he was right. I agree that the
Party was a force in the country."

sovereignty."

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
govt.
The
supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is
surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past
centuries."

converging."

vehicle to bring this about, said Funderburk,
is the United Nations, "the majority of whose 166 member states are
socialist, atheist, and anti-American."

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

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 pres- idential campaign. He was
appointed by President Clinton as the number two person at the State Dept
behind Secretary of State Warren Christopher, former Trilateralist

The CFR's Foreign Affairs publishes Empower-
ing 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 expan- sion 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:

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."

Washington Post ombudsman Richard Harwood does an op-ed piece
about the role of the CFR's media members:
"Their

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

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.
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.
