New World Order | AwakenTheSheeple!

General Summary

The New World Order (NWO) conspiracy theory claims that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to establish a totalitarian world government that will replace sovereign nations. A shadowy cabal of influential figures—often linked to Freemasons, the Illuminati, international bankers, or Jewish elites in antisemitic versions—is said to operate through front organizations (e.g. UN, World Bank, EU) and to orchestrate wars, financial crises, and pandemics to advance their control. The phrase “new world order” has legitimate political use (e.g. post–World War I/II international order), but conspiracy theorists use it to mean a planned takeover. The theory gained traction in right-wing and fundamentalist Christian circles before the 1990s and has since spread; it resurged in mainstream discourse around Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and COVID-19. As the site notes: “A globalist cabal is working to establish a totalitarian world government.”

The theory fits Global Elites: a group outside (or above) national governments, multi-national, and multiple interconnected events. Critics and researchers (e.g. ISD, Brewminate) trace its roots to anti-Masonic and antisemitic conspiracy traditions and warn of overlap with extremism.
