I've been browsing dozens of Facebook pages and blogs lately, and there seems to be a pretty strong NWO movement. I'm not too versed on the subject, and before I spend a lot of time doing the research, I would like to know some of your guys's perspective on the subject.
1. Is it something to be worried about, or would it just be a relatively small step forward for statism? Statism already has the whole world by the balls, is it really that serious?
2. Would it be sustainable?
3. Is it possible for a small elite to be able to control the world markets to the extent claimed by the NWO ilk?
I guess that's all I can think of for now. Thanks.

A one-world government would be no different than Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, commie China, or modern-day USA, except that you would not be able to leave the country.

I guess that would be subjective, but yeah, if you are worried about all criminal institutions, then you would be worried about a one-world government.
demosthenes:2. Would it be sustainable?
No. Eventually, it would fall apart on its own.
demosthenes:3. Is it possible for a small elite to be able to control the world markets to the extent claimed by the NWO ilk?
Not really. There were black markets in commie China and the Soviet Union.
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process. Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!" Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
A good rule is: The bigger the bureaucracy the more violence it must use to maintain control over its citizens. So the biggest bureaucracy, a one world government would be about as bad as it can possibly get. It is just that at this moment the most powerful bureaucracy to ever exist is crushing itself between the twin towers of a welfare state and a warfare state so this whole NWO/OWG looks benign when compared to the USA. But as the USA gives up more and more power to international bureaucracies you will see the international ones begin to increase their violence. The recent (Past 15 years) insane behavior of the USA is a good preview of what is to come with one world government.

1st question: "worried" is a loaded word.
2nd question: it is serious, meaning, statism only has one drive - consolidate control and power.
demosthenes: 2. Would it be sustainable?
i don't know
demosthenes: 3. Is it possible for a small elite to be able to control the world markets to the extent claimed by the NWO ilk?
the government is full of fewer people compared to the lesser world population that partakes in other events that are not directly related to working for the government. In other words, logically it is possible.
Daniel Muffinburg: demosthenes:2. Would it be sustainable? No. Eventually, it would fall apart on its own.
I guess if I would have focused on 'sustainable' in it's absolute sense of the word then I would have said what Daniel said here. I agree with Daniel. A statist effort entails unnecessary destruction, suffering, and hardship that can easily be avoided in general.
Daniel Muffinburg: demosthenes:3. Is it possible for a small elite to be able to control the world markets to the extent claimed by the NWO ilk? Not really. There were black markets in commie China and the Soviet Union.
that's true too when considering "control" in it's absolute sense.
good post Daniel.
Bogart: A good rule is: The bigger the bureaucracy the more violence it must use to maintain control over its citizens.

that's so true.
wilderness: Bogart: A good rule is: The bigger the bureaucracy the more violence it must use to maintain control over its citizens. that's so true.
The bigger the bureaucracy the the more difficult it will be for it get anything done. Also, if you look at how much trouble commie China had controlling its people, imagine how much more difficult it would be to control the entire world.
NWO is a conspiracy theory.
alimentarius:NWO is a conspiracy theory.
what does that mean? that can mean differing things.
for instance what is henry kissinger former U.S. secretary of state talking about here in 2007:
or kissinger again here on the floor of the NYstock exchange late 2008 or maybe it was early 2009 (start @ 2 minute mark and he mentions NWO @ ca. 2:40 mark):
so what's henry talking about?
No idea. He mentioned "NWO", but said noth9ing about what it means. I don't think he means a one world government led by reptilians, that aims to microchip us all, make us their slaves, send us to FEMA camps and reduce the world population to 500 million.
alimentarius: No idea. He mentioned "NWO", but said noth9ing about what it means.
No idea. He mentioned "NWO", but said noth9ing about what it means.
true. he didn't say what he means by it extensively in those videos. Is he a conspiracy theorist because he mentions 'new world order'?
He is not, but those who believe in replitians, FEMA concentration camps, 911 inside job etc, those are conspiracy theorists.

It's not something to really waste too much time on. I did a fair amount of inquiry and got to know their endgame. I'd recommend others do the same - and I could point towards stuff that can help enlighten. I stopped down this path however, when I started investigating / learning Austrian Economics.
Austrian Economics / Libertarianism makes that whole venture / avenue [conspiracy explanations] of convincing / converting people fairly redundant. There you have to compel people to do their own research and investigate themselves etc. The superiority of AE and Libertarianism, is the factor of logic and apriori. You can argue against the NWO... but you don't need to mention any of the conspiracy element, because that is secondary. It's far more effective.
demosthenes:1. Is it something to be worried about, or would it just be a relatively small step forward for statism? Statism already has the whole world by the balls, is it really that serious?
Well as we know monopolies are bad. Global government has surely got to be the biggest one of all.
I hope not... but these guys aren't dumb. The same things will be necessary to start a revolution, as you would within your own country / nation - to dissolve the state. This will make it harder (UN will just send troops in) the "peacekeepers", to quell dissent. You can easily see a Pakistani division corps being sent in to control the people in India if there is unrest.
Think of it as the same as your government, just on a much grander scale. The problem is the parasites... have a lot more hosts to live off... and it will NOT be a fully communist state - there will not be central planning in everything.
There will be markets, they just won't be free. The parasites will glean as much as they can.
Not to the extent they claim, but they establish the framework. See; IMF, World Central Bank and they own the printing presses etc.
Ron Paul Speech - One World Government
"The only question to be answered with right now is; what is it going to be replaced with? Believe me they are working very hard to devise a new system. They are talking about an international fiat currency paper system, with the loss of US national sovereignty. "We have to stop this move towards one world government and one world currency."

The reptilians is complete bs. Concentration camps... they haven't been used by tyrannical governments before? What history books haven't you been reading?
alimentarius:911 inside job etc, those are conspiracy theorists.
You're a conspiracy theorist. The difference is - you believe the establishments conspiracy theory.

"You might also be aware of Operation North woods scam"
"That in the early 1960's the Joint Chiefs of Staff had put together a plan directed towards an eventual attack on Cuba. And part of this plan would be for people in the United States to be shot in the streets, planes to be hijacked and destroyed, terrorist acts to be carried out in major cities, bombings and so forth. Innocent people to be framed for these bombings. All for the purpose of blaming Castro, in order to rationalize a war in Cuba."
"The Cold War itself was premised on an international communist conspiracy. And those of us who denied this and saw the Cold War as a scheme for perfect state interests were attacked by the anti-conspiracy league as "paranoid conspiracy theorists".
"But it's interesting, right after 9/11 we have George Bush getting on television and telling us "Let us have no Conspiracy theories about all of this".
"He then began expouting on his own conspiracy theory. It was Al Qaeda, Axis of Evil, International Terrorist Networks, Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein."
"In otherwords, any conspiracy theories that are outside the realm of what is politically correct are not to be examined. Stick to the conspiracy theories we give you and you'll be alright. Those who believe in the establishment conspiracies are patriots. Those who suspect the establishment of their own conspiracies are paranoid. 'They conspire but we do not.'"
"Paranoia in this connection is not a fear of others, but a baseless fear of others. What would one say of a Jewish person in Nazi Germany who thought the government was out too get him? Paranoid? If so, what would you say about about another Jewish person in Nazi Germany who didn't think the government was out to get him? Psychologically healthy?
"Does 'paranoid' in fact not describe the state of mind of US officials who see all of us as potential terrorists." etc etc.
Conza88: "Far from being a paranoid or a determinist, the conspiracy analyst is a praxeologist; that is, he believes that people act purposively, that they make conscious choices to employ means in order to arrive at goals. Hence, if a steel tariff is passed, he assumes that the steel industry lobbied for it; if a public works project is created, he hypothesizes that it was promoted by an alliance of construction firms and unions who enjoyed public works contracts, and bureaucrats who expanded their jobs and incomes. It is the opponents of "conspiracy" analysis who profess to believe that all events — at least in government —are random and unplanned, and that therefore people do not engage in purposive choice and planning." - Conspiracy Theory of History Revisited by Murray Rothbard
The Soviet Union parasites may be cold and calculating but they're too dumb to maintain a communist state. The only reason that they exists for so long is because of United States food tributes, or so I heard.

kiba:The Soviet Union parasites may be cold and calculating but they're too dumb to maintain a communist state. The only reason that they exists for so long is because of United States food tributes, or so I heard.
Yes... except the world government isn't going to be a communist state.
The reason the SU existed so long was because that is how long the highest order goods would last. Mises said around 70 years and he was right. [Anyone correct me on this? Couldn't find the proper article where I previously read this]
It wouldn't surprise me that the US aided the Soviet Union.
Thanks everybody. I guess the reason I am asking is because if the stuff is true, it would be good to know in order to invest wisely. If there really is some sort of method to their madness, I'd rather be in a position to exploit it than to be victimized by it. I don't want to be investing in stocks or real estate or what have you when what I should really be investing in is long-term foodstuffs and guns. Or, say, if there was some way to discern how long it will be before the shit hits the proverbial fan, I would like to be able to detect important trends in order to accumulate as much wealth as possible beforehand and use it to its maximum advantage after the fact.
Of course I consider the ancap perspective to be primary, and that philosophically it doesn't really matter if there is a NWO/OWG type deal. I just want to know the truth in order to use it to my advantage. I mean just by learning about the banking deal has already put me at a considerable advantage relatively speaking.
I consider NWO to be an irrelevent but real possibility.
The state needs to go and we must alway be on our guard against it, PERIOD.
Here's a writing by modernist poet Ezra Pound from 1944 that might give the NWOers some more ammo?
America, Roosevelt and the causes of the present war
Makes for a good quick read from a variety of angles, not just for the conspiracy theorists.

demosthenes:2. Would it be sustainable? 3. Is it possible for a small elite to be able to control the world markets to the extent claimed by the NWO ilk?
No, and no. I'm a bit more optimistic than some of the other posters in this thread. Personally, I think there are a lot of freedom-loving people spread about the world. Because different states with differing levels of freedom exist, someone can still find a place "good enough," or can travel about to avoid the rule of any one state. If these options were no longer viable, I think there'd be a lot more protest, which would hopefully lead to a decentralization of power.

Well... you have Europe in the EU with more centralization every day and a universal currency... You have everyone in the UN talking about the African Union and an African currency... And you have the great pan american highway they've been trying to build for sometime as well as Geithner saying that they are seriously considering a pan american currency...
It certainly looks like things are getting more and more centralized... imo who cares if there's 1 world government. Wouldn't it be just as bad if there were only 2 or 3 world governments that did exactly the same thing? This is what we're headed towards now. World government maybe sometime in the future. They won't need to though if the world currencies are all controlled by the same group. They can just inflate and take whatever they want...
I don't believe the government's explanation either. I don't trust anyone regarding 911.
