Hey im new here and i was wondering is there anything to the whole New World Order thing because we have a guy here in Ireland called Jim Corr who is a conspiracy theorist and he was on a popular talkshow here and he was saying that the new world order is real and said that Ireland are being pulled into it because as you know we have a recession and Jim Corr said the Ireland has Millions of barrels of oil of the coast of the irish sea and if we sold those that our financial problems would be solved and that scared me pretty bad so i was wondering if there is anything to the New World Order claims please help me im only 13 and its pretty scary what people say that the New World Order will do to us.

The phrase "new world order" simply refers to a generic political or social paradigm that replaces an old one. For example, there was a new world order established after World War II. It's something that has occurred throughout human history.

What conspiracy theorists do is take this fact and improperly quote politicians. When someone says anything about a "new world order," the conspiracy theorists will claim they are talking about the "New World Order" or NWO, which is something else entirely. You can see this demonstrated on conspiracy websites everywhere, where "new world order" is unnecessarily capitalized to make a dishonest point.

As far as the existence of the so-called NWO is concerned, it appears to be a figment of certain individuals' imaginations. Don't believe the rantings of conspiracy theorists. Ask for their evidence. They usually won't have any. If they do provide something that they claim as evidence, consider the source and examine it carefully.

its pretty scary what people say that the New World Order will do to us.

Governments can do bad things to people, but the "NWO" isn't real.

The NWO the way the conspiracy theorists promote is impossible. It is impossible to have a set up plan to take over the world.
The only real conspiracy is that these NWO promoters are trying to scare the hell out of anyone by creating tons of sites and youtube clips.

What does exist is the change in awareness to care more for our planet, stop polluting and make this world a more peaceful place. This is also called a new World Order because it changes the political structures to take care of our planet. There is no plan to create such a NWO, the NWO is the result of how people change.

Very nice posts, Juju and Obaeyens. I have struggled with finding a good way to explain the phrase and the difference between politicians using it in a campaign speech versus the conspiracy nonsense about it. If we ever decide that it needs to be covered as a 2012 related subject, I think both of your posts would be good for the page.
