Michael Medved (M-E-D-V-as-in-venomous-viper-E-D) has a feature on his radio show called "Conspiracy Day" which airs on certain Thursdays. The format is for callers to call in and make the case for the existence of various sinister conspiracies in our world, with Medved debunking them. Medved professes to believe in "Bigfoot", however. I categorize this feature of his show with other "red herring" activities designed to engender a conditioned dismissive reaction in the general public towards all "conspiracy theories". An obvious example of this is the "911 Truth" movement. In summary, the "911 Truth" theory contends that the collapse of the WTC towers had to be caused by deliberately placed explosives. One need only look at the news footage to observe that the structural failure of the buildings occurred precisely where they were struck by the aircraft. Explosives would either have to have been placed in exactly the right places before the aircraft hit or placed in a building burning out of control in precisely the location that crews would have to place the explosives. What obnoxious nonsense. As for "Building Seven", the rest of the theory is so irrational that to cite "Building Seven" and then extrapolate its "mysterious" collapse back to the collapse of the Twin Towers is an already totally discredited enterprise. Note that Rosie O'Donnell is a major proponent of this bogus "conspiracy theory". For my friends in the military, these "red herring" activities are the socio-political equivalents of "chaff" (the radar-disrupting countermeasure), whose purpose is to divert the radar-guided targeting function of a weapon to prevent it from destroying its intended target, which weapon in this case is U.S. Constitutional Law and its organic function to protect and defend the liberties of the American People from the predations of totalitarian ideologies like the New World Order as well as those of ordinary criminals. (When I am finished, it will be impossible to miss. God speed and good hunting.)
The presence of the New World Order must be defined in much the same way as the presence of a "black hole" is in the field of astrophysics: by its effects on the time-space continuum around it. "Black Hole" theory predicts that certain phenomena will occur in the vicinity of a black hole, but the black hole itself cannot be directly observed because it swallows up light itself. New World Order Theory also predicts certain phenomena that will be enumerated here as evidence of its presence and influence in the world, especially in the United States of America. (Soundgarden wrote a little song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it goes...) The New World Order cannot be directly observed, because it is clandestine and secretive by definition. It's not like it has a website, yet both Presidents Bush have referenced it.
The main problem that most people have in perceiving the New World Order is that they already think in terms that it has conditioned them to: that this four dimensional (three physical dimensions plus time) cosmos is the sum total of reality, and that anything beyond these parameters is not "real", such as an afterlife or a transcendant Creator and Divine Judge. Robert Anton Wilson, in his Illuminatus Trilogy, used the phrase "to immanentize the Christian Eschaton" to define the ultimate objective of the Illuminati, and it means precisely that, to restrict all human ambition and enterprise to this temporal, material world. This objective has only One implacable and insubvertible Enemy : the Eternal God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Who manifested Himself in time and space in the Person of the only begotten Son of God: Jesus Christ, and His only remaining Presence in this four dimensional cosmos: the Ecclesia, or those, like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who are "called out" from among the inhabitants of the earth to worship and serve the Living God: the Holy Spirit- begotten and -indwelt Church of Jesus Christ. The only other tangible manifestation of His Presence in the earth representing opposition to this objective is the supernatural existence of the Jewish Nation: Israel, and ethnic Jewry remaining in the rest of the world in Diaspora. (Are you listening, Medved?) Mark these two institutions and measure the tenor of the rhetoric directed at each, and you have the gravitational center of the New World Order: the ancient fallen cherub that volunteered himself for the role of adversary to the LORD God Omnipotent: the devil. As the Apostle Paul (Rabbi Shaul) of Tarsus revealed, and the Torah itself shows, the conflict between these two spiritual kingdoms is primarily expressed in two types of speech: the Truth of God as preserved and presented in the Holy Bible, and all utterances that contradict it. Every person's eternal destiny and allegiance is revealed by which type of speech that person believes and confesses in this cosmos. Such belief and confession will be verified by the fruit of that person's life, as James wrote.
That the New World Order is organized and self-aware can be perceived through myriad references in popular culture such as literature, music and movies. A particularly blatant example is found in the works of a fairly popular and mainstream 70's/80's hard rock act from Canada called "Rush". Here is a brief compilation of song titles by them in a New World Order vein: The Camera Eye. New World Man. The Analog Kid/Digital Man. Red Sector A. Free Will. Look up the lyrics to these songs, and you have a veritable "Mein Kampf" of the New World Order vision and its hostility towards all things Biblical and Judeo-Christian. This hostility is particularly focused in the lyrics of "Witch Hunt", part III of the multi-album trilogy entitled "Fear".
Rush - Witch Hunt lyrics (excerpt)
The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will.
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill.
They say there are strangers who threaten us,
Our immigrants and infidels.
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
In our theatres and bookstore shelves,
That those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves.
What you are in the process of reading is not a "witch hunt". It is a witch documentary. What President Bush Sr. articulated in his allusion to a New World Order was a vision of a global utopia with a United Nations-type body overseeing global affairs in a humanistic heaven on earth.
Historical usage ( This is from the Wikipedia article on the historic references to the New World Order, not the "conspiracy theory" article.)
Woodrow Wilson and the Origin of the League of Nations.
The phrase "new world order" was explicitly used in connection with Woodrow Wilson's designs in the period just after World War I, during the formation of the League of Nations. The "war to end all wars" had been a powerful catalyst in international politics, and many felt the world could simply no longer operate as it once had. The first world war had been justified not only in terms of U.S. national interest but in moral terms—to "make the world safe for democracy." After the war, Wilson argued for a new world order which transcended traditional great power politics, instead emphasizing collective security, democracy, and self-determination. However, the United States Senate rejected membership of the League of Nations, which Wilson believed to be the key to a new world order. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge argued that American policy should be based on human nature "as it is, not as it ought to be."[1]
The fundamental flaw in this vision is the essential lunacy foisted on the human race at the beginning: that man can cast himself in the role of God successfully. The inherent problem with this lunacy is that the Person of God becomes man's primary and hopelessly unresolvable Problem. This is communicated quite effectively in Genesis 3. Man's efforts to cover his own nakedness in the sight of God fail miserably, and they must flee in terror at the sound of His Holy Voice. What is also typified in the story is that God comes looking for man and ultimately clothes him, while man, in his fallen condition, seeks only to evade and avoid God, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ is unique among the world's "religions" in that it is the story of the Son of God coming from Heaven to earth to be reconciled with sinners. All other "religions" (including post-Temple Judaism) are humanistic systems leaving man with the unbearable burden of making reconciliation with God through his own efforts.
Let's hear Belinda Carlisle's (lead singer for the "Go-gos") version of "Mein Kampf". In re: Christians and secrecy:
Our Lips Are Sealed The Go-Gos
(Jane Wiedlin/T. Hall)
Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well that's no surprise
Can you see them
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Careless talk
Through paper walls
We can't stop them
Only laugh at them
Spreading rumors
So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld
Just like some precious pearl
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed
There's a weapon
We must use
In our defense
Silence
When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when you'll be feared
Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies
In re: the New World Order:
Title: Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth
When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside
When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Can you see the "us and them" mentality coalescing with the secret program here?
This is cognizant deliberation couched in veiled language which is meaningless to most people, but takes on sinister relevance when connected with other seemingly unrelated data, or, as in our "black hole " analogy, the presence of the New World Order is detectable by its influence in pop music. Now let me tie these assertions with a couple of personal anecdotes that bring the ideas of the most influential popular music being an expression of the Luciferian/ Masonic New World Order at the highest levels of global society together with an active program of recruitment and initiation. These are two examples of New World Order phenomena occuring a lot closer to home.
When I served aboard the U.S.S. Tripoli between the years of 1979 and 1981, I was approached privately by a petty officer (NCO) that worked in the personnel department of the ship. I knew him only by name, which I've since forgotten, but I could identify him by photograph. He approached me privately in a passage way and invited me to join the Masons with the enticement that it would afford me business advantages and contacts and the assurance that they believed in God. Since my military career up to that point involved washing out of an advanced training program due to getting busted for marijuana possession in "A" School, and frequent other disciplinary problems, the only reason a person with access to my military records could find to recommend me was an excessively high score on the ASVAB test administered at AFEES in Los Angeles to test my intellectual aptitudes. (I'm merely reporting this for its contextual relevance. Having brains reflects neither character nor virtue, let me assure you.) Otherwise, I cannot account for the fellow's interest in me. Obviously, I turned him down, mainly because he indicated that the God of the Masons was not Jesus Christ alone.
The second anecdote involves the testimony of Laverne Tripp, a TV preacher and musician that was a regular on the TBN network during the early 1980's. He testified that shortly after he recommitted his life to Jesus Christ as a backslidden Christian, he was approached by an agent that offered him a record deal that would have made him a household name as a country/western musician. He said that, had he not previously recommitted his life to Christ, he'd have taken that deal. He then said that there is an extremely wealthy and powerful organization in our world that once you get in, it is virtually impossible to get out, and it was this organization that was represented by this agent, and it was the mercy and grace of Christ that had kept him from falling into the trap. I will tie this information to the New World Order by connecting the following dots:
1. The pop-music iconic '70's folk/country/rock band "The Eagles" referenced the "no going back" theme of Illuminist initiation in the song "Hotel California"
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!
2. Don Henley is a prominent member of "The Eagles".
3. Don Henley performed the song, "The Garden of Allah" on his 1995 "Actual Miles" album.
He said its just like home
Its so low-down I cant stand it
I guess my work around here has all been done
And the fruit is rotten, the serpents eyes shine
As he wraps around the vine,
In the garden of allah
The devil speaks in the first person in the song, confesses his admiration for Bavarian meticulousness in car manufacturing, which, "coincidentally", is where Adam Weishaupt's Illuminati originated (Bavaria in Germany).
4. A little known female vocalist named Sheryl Crow sang backup on the song.
5. Sheryl Crow is now a household name in folk/pop/rock music.
6.Interestingly, Ms. Crow appeared in the traveling live-music venue, "Another Roadside Attraction", named deliberately for a Tom Robbins novel in which the corpse of Jesus Christ is "unearthed" by an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. (I had the "pleasure" of reading it while incarcerated at the California Dept. of Corrections Medical Facility in Vacaville, Ca. They're getting pretty haughty, don't you think, Jesus?)
Why do you suppose these people are so fixated on making the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Genesis to Revelation) appear to be untrue and harmful while essentially ignoring the innate despotism of Islam? Simply put, Islam advances the cause of the devil in the earth. The Gospel of Jesus Christ destroys it. The key to the devil's kingdom is the fear of death. ( It's like a really bad dream, isn't it, Satan?) It is not how you live that determines whether you go to Heaven or not. It is how you die. You either die in the Lord, or you die in your sins. Is this not the very inverse of the New World Order and its objective (Immanentize the Christian Eschaton) of excluding any reality beyond this material world.

The "Rev." Pat Robertson gushed a hearty "God bless you" to "Sir" Bob Geldof on his multinational poverty relief event "Live 8" coinciding with a summit of the G-8 economic powers, which Robertson also promoted. Ironically, Pat Robertson wrote a book on the New World Order which I haven't had the "pleasure" of reading. Robertson is currently featured on TV commercials touting bipartisan support for "global warming" activism. Has anybody ever really determined that increasing global mean temperatures is necessarily a bad thing?
(Geldof's turn in the lead role in Pink Floyd's movie "The Wall" is omitted in the Wikipedia article. Anomalous.)
I recently learned that Alan Parsons did engineering work on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Mike Myers referenced The Alan Parsons Project in one of his Austin Powers movies. So, what? (Update 6-13-10: In Mike Myers'"So I Married an Axe-murderer", the main character's Scottish father, also played by Myers, shares some offbeat views with his houseguests. But that's not related to this material in any way...)
Some Alan Parsons Project titles:
Pyramid (album); Lucifer (instrumental song); Eye in the Sky (song and album);"Genesis Ch.1 v.32" (instrumental song) [the Book of Genesis Chapter One ends with verse 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. Note: God is, in fact, omniscient. He sees it all...everlasting fire... very good! It is man that cannot appreciate the Big Picture. God, I am in abject awe of You! You are altogether holy! By the way, I love how You clown "scientists" with the fact that in a fraudulently "randomized" cosmos, our nearest extraterrestrial neighbor, the moon, always presents the same side to the us without deviation. What are the "odds" ?!?! You make me laugh so much. "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" ... total buffoons, actually.]
Hebrews 11
32And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
33Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
John 21
24This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
25And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da Lyrics
Artist(Band):Sting & Police
(excerpted)
Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one's jamming their transmission
And when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

Alan Parsons Project Lyrics:
Turn It Up
It's no good believing in somebody else
If you can't believe in yourself
You give them the reason to take all the power and wealth
It's no good you trying to sit on the fence
And hope that the trouble will pass
'Cause sitting on fences can make you a pain in the ass
If there's something you find to believe in
Then the message must get through
So don't just sit in silence
When you know what to do
Turn it up. Turn it up, make it louder
Turn it up. Turn it up, make it louder
There's no conversation if nobody speaks
And nothing gets done in the end
There's no confrontation when fantasy makes you its friend
So much injustice, too many lies
We don't have to look very far
But nothing will change if we leave things the way that they are
If there's something you find to believe in
Then the message must get through
So don't just sit in silence
When you know what to do
Turn it up. Turn it up, make it louder
Turn it up. Turn it up, make it louder
Alan Parsons Project Lyrics:
What Goes Up...
What goes up, must come down
What must rise, must fall
And what goes on in your life
Is writing on the wall
If all things must fall
Why build a miracle at all
If all things must pass
Even a miracle won't last
What goes up, must come down
What must stand alone?
And what goes on, in your mind
Is turning into stone
If all things must fall
Why build a miracle at all
If all things must pass
Even a pyramid won't last
How can you be so sure?
How do you know what the earth will endure?
How can you be so sure?
That the wonders you've made in you life
Will be seen
By the millions who'll follow to visit the site
Of your dream?
What goes up, must come down
What goes round, must come round
What's been lost, must be found
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Mark 13:31
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Luke 21:33
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
You have a disjointed, immanent view of the principle. The complete, transcendant principle is that what goes up in Luciferian self-exaltation must come down, but what goes down in the likeness of Christ's Divine self-abdication must come up. Get yourself a better Teacher, or Rabbi:
Matthew 23:12
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Luke 14:11
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Luke 18:14
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
1 Corinthians 15
1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
9For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
35But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Matthew 11:25-30 (King James Version)
25At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
"The Eagle will rise again."... but only through inspired humility.
