1. Be very careful about this extremist ....

2. If I'm not mistaken...

having observed the groups of people who refer to the NWO over the last decade or so, it seems to me this is where the left-wing and right-wing of the modern libertarian, Ayn Rand worldview meet and connect.

A belief that they must defeat this "New World Order."

I used to view Alex Jones as a left-wing extremist with a libertarian bent.

Glenn Beck is a right-wing extremist with a libertarian bent.

They now intersect and overlap in many ways, and one of the primary beliefs is in the evil of a New World Order (which corresponds with a hatred of the UN and government in general).

I do believe that a very small percentage of people are acting as puppet masters, hoarding money, resources and power. But the NWO takes it so much further and is a full-fledged conspiracy that the Alex Jones/Glenn Beck followers obsess about -- and get violent about -- and, intentionally or not, end up supporting the gun manufacturers and doomsday industry manufacturers as a result of this obsession.

I haven't quite wrapped my head around their vision of the NWO, but I do see it as the meeting place between the two extremes on the spectrum.

3. with one difference

There are about a hundred rwing crazies fighting the so-called nwo for every lwing crazy. It is much more of a rw phenomena.

4. True.

What disturbs me is when someone with a generally liberal/progressive worldview gets on board with this new brand of libertarianism (the original philosophy, as I understand it, was very much about the Common Good) and they all meet in the middle to embrace and focus on "bootstrapping" and promoting a callous brand of self-reliance and social darwinism, tearing down all existing structures and institutions...and fighting the NWO.

5. I am not aware of any on the left

who share that paranoid view about the UN.

[OneGrassRoot]

7. I know people who consider themselves (or at least used to)...

Democrats/liberals/progressives, who now identify more with libertarianism. Many of these same people used to, or maybe still are, members of DU.

Now that I think about it, the whole NWO thing is what got them more in line with libertarianism in general, gradually adopting other Rand-style libertarian views.

It's been alarming to watch over the years as fear has taken over, though the fear often manifests as anger, and this anger includes the UN and government and officials.

6. Back in 1990, the Christian Churches were warning about the folly of the Global Economy. Then

they started to embrace it, moving from Separation of Church and State to the Joining of Church and State. With that, some Religious Rightees are beginning to see that they have gone to far (way to far to the Right). For instance, according to Doctor Day from the OP's link, The Rome Club, describes the Anointed King, (E.R. Tededro Cruz) as a part of the Dominion Movement.

8. Even Nixon talked about it, whatever it is

and strangely, both Biden and Kerry seem to know about whatever it is
