What is the New World Order?

Answer 1

A funny, mixed up conspiracy theory that espouses the rise of a totalitarian one world government.

It has been associated with a number of other half baked conspiracy theories.

It seems to rise from the Latin inscription on the back of The Great Seal of the United States (displayed on the back of the one dollar bill since 1935). That inscription is "novus ordo seclorum" and translates in English to "New Order of the Ages." A clear reference by the seal designers Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams to the birth of a new nation (the US), and the affect such an historical event (overthrow of a monarch's control) would obviously have on the world stage and future events. Many gullible individuals have swallowed whole the mistranslation of novus ordo seclorum to new world order, however, this failure does not change reality. The New World Order is a conspiracy theory that a powerful group is in control of the world, or on the verge of gaining such control.
