I'm an agnostic as it comes to the whole NWO idea.
I recently read "Them", a book by Jon Ronson. Amazon link here:

While a fan of Alex Jones' work for a while, I was disappointed to find out inadvertently, via this book, that Jones is actually a fascist in the old sense of the word. Not a skinhead, not a neo-Nazi, but a true believer in the idea that *them* (the usual suspects, Jews, specifically Jewish bankers) are running the world, and that the world's leaders are their either willing or unwilling dupes. Jones also showed up as a real head case.
While I believe there are often a lot of corrupt, unethical people among the world's national leaders, and yes some times the worst, most evil people on the globe get way too much power (*ahem* Dick Cheney *ahem* Dubya *ahem* Putin *ahem* 19 fanatics on 9/11) the real problems are created by those particular people, and not by a big world order.
I believe the real idea of New World Order, either by fascists, communists, libertarians, and others is created through simple Gestalt on overdrive. The human brain unconsciously seeks patterns in everything.

Just throwing my little intellectual pipe bomb into the discussion. Feel free to attack, I'm actually looking forward to being yelled at on WP.
