A
CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER
by
D.L. Cuddy, Ph.D.
Arranged and Edited by John Loeffler
In the mainline media, those who adhere
to the position that there is some kind of "conspiracy" pushing us
towards a world government are virulently ridiculed. The standard attack
maintains that the so-called "New World Order" is the product of
turn-of-the-century, right-wing, bigoted, anti-semitic
racists acting in the tradition of the long-debunked Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion, now promulgated by some Militias and other right-wing hate
groups.
The historical record does not support
that position to any large degree but it has become the mantra of the socialist
left and their cronies, the media.
The term "
For years, leaders in education,
industry, the media, banking, etc., have promoted those with the same
Weltanschauung (world view) as theirs. Of course, someone might say that just
because individuals promote their friends doesn't constitute a conspiracy.
That's true in the usual sense. However, it does represent an "open
conspiracy," as described by noted Fabian Socialist H.G. Wells in The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World
Revolution (1928).
In 1913, prior to the passage of the
Federal Reserve Act President Wilson's
The New Freedom was
published, in which he revealed:
"Since
I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately.
Some of the biggest men in the
On
"The
real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a
financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the
days of Andrew Jackson... "
That there is such a thing as a cabal
of power brokers who control government behind the scenes has been detailed
several times in this century by credible sources. Professor Carroll Quigley
was Bill Clinton's mentor at
"There
does exist and has existed for a generation, an international ... network which
operates, to some extent, in the way the radical right believes the Communists
act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups,
has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups and
frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have
studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early
1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to
most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the
past and recently, to a few of its policies... but in general my chief
difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its
role in history is significant enough to be known."
Even talk show host Rush Limbaugh, an outspoken critic of anyone
claiming a push for global government, said on his
"You
see, if you amount to anything in Washington these days, it is because you have
been plucked or handpicked from an Ivy League school -- Harvard, Yale, Kennedy
School of Government -- you've shown an aptitude to be a good Ivy League type,
and so you're plucked so-to-speak, and you are assigned success. You are
assigned a certain role in government somewhere, and then your success is
monitored and tracked, and you go where the pluckers
and the handpickers can put you."

Previous CFR chairman, John J. McCloy (1953-70), actually said they have been doing this
since the 1940s (and before).
The thrust towards global government
can be well-documented but at the end of the twentieth century it does not look
like a traditional conspiracy in the usual sense of a secret cabal of evil men
meeting clandestinely behind closed doors. Rather, it is a "networking"
of like-minded individuals in high places to achieve a common goal, as
described in Marilyn Ferguson's 1980 insider classic, The Aquarian Conspiracy.
Perhaps the best way to relate this
would be a brief history of the
1912
-- Colonel Edward M. House, a close
advisor of President Woodrow Wilson, publishes Phillip Dru: Administrator in which
he promotes "socialism as dreamed of by Karl Marx."
1913
-- The
Federal Reserve (neither federal nor a reserve) is created. It was planned
at a secret meeting in 1910 on
May
30, 1919 -- Prominent
British and American personalities establish the Royal Institute of
International Affairs in England and the Institute of International Affairs in the U.S. at a meeting
arranged by Col. House attended by various Fabian socialists, including noted
economist John Maynard Keynes. Two years later, Col. House reorganizes the
"Obviously
there is going to be no peace or prosperity for mankind as long as [the earth]
remains divided into 50 or 60 independent states until some kind of
international system is created... The real problem today is that of the world
government."
1928
-- The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution by H.G. Wells is published. A former Fabian Socialist,
Wells writes:
"The
political world of the ... Open Conspiracy must weaken, efface, incorporate and
supersede existing governments... The Open Conspiracy is the natural inheritor
of socialist and communist enthusiasms; it may be in control of

-- Students at the
"One
day we shall start to spread the most theatrical peace movement the world has
ever seen. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent ... will fall into the
trap offered by the possibility of making new friends. Our day will come in 30
years or so... The bourgeoisie must be lulled into a false sense of
security."
1931
-- In a speech to the Institute for
the Study of International Affairs at
"We
are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious
force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the
world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our
hands...."
1932
-- New books are published urging
World Order:
Toward Soviet
The
New World Order by F.S. Marvin,
describing the League of Nations as
the first attempt at a
Dare
the School Build a New Social Order?
is published. Educator author George Counts asserts
that:
"...
the teachers should deliberately reach for power and
then make the most of their conquest" in order to "influence the
social attitudes, ideals and behavior of the coming generation... The growth of
science and technology has carried us into a new age where ignorance must be
replaced by knowledge, competition by cooperation, trust in Providence by
careful planning and private capitalism by some form of social economy."
1933
-- The first Humanist Manifesto is
published. Co-author John Dewey, the noted philosopher and educator, calls
for a synthesizing of all religions and "a socialized and cooperative
economic order." Co-signer C.F. Potter said in 1930:
"Education
is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American public school is a
school of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday schools, meeting for an hour
once a week, teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a
five-day program of humanistic teaching?"
1933
-- The Shape of Things to Come
by H.G. Wells is published. Wells predicts a second world war around 1940,
originating from a German-Polish dispute. After 1945 there would be an
increasing lack of public safety in "criminally infected" areas. The
plan for the "Modern World-State" would succeed on its third attempt
(about 1980), and come out of something that occurred in
"Although
world government had been plainly coming for some years, although it had been
endlessly feared and murmured against, it found no opposition prepared
anywhere."
1934
-- The Externalization of the Hierarchy
by Alice
A. Bailey is published. Bailey is an occultist, whose
works are channeled from a spirit guide, the Tibetan Master [demon spirit] Djwahl Kuhl. Bailey uses
the phrase "points of light" in connection with a "New Group of World Servers"
and claims that 1934 marks the beginning of "the organizing of the men and women... group work of a new order...
[with] progress defined by service... the world of the
Brotherhood... the Forces of Light... [and] out of the
spoliation of all existing culture and civilization, the new world order must
be built."
The book is published by the Lucis Trust,
incorporated originally in New York as the Lucifer Publishing Company. Lucis Trust is a United Nations NGO and has been a major player at
the recent U.N. summits. Later Assistant Secretary General of the U.N. Robert
Mueller would credit the creation of his World Core Curriculum for education to
the underlying teachings of Djwahl Kuhl via Alice Bailey's writings on the subject.
1932
-- Plan for Peace by American
Birth Control League founder Margaret Sanger (1921) is published. She calls for
coercive sterilization, mandatory segregation, and rehabilitative concentration
camps for all "dysgenic stocks" including Blacks, Hispanics, American
Indians and Catholics.
October
28, 1939 -- In an address by John Foster Dulles, later U.S. Secretary of
State, he proposes that America lead the transition to a new order of less
independent, semi-sovereign states bound together by a league or federal union.
1939
-- New World Order by H. G.
Wells proposes a collectivist one-world state"' or "new world order"
comprised of "socialist
democracies." He advocates "universal conscription for
service" and declares that "nationalist
individualism... is the world's disease." He continues:
"The
manifest necessity for some collective world control to eliminate warfare and
the less generally admitted necessity for a collective control of the economic
and biological life of mankind, are aspects of one and
the same process." He proposes that this be accomplished through
"universal law" and propaganda (or education)."

1942
-- The leftist
"World
government is the ultimate aim... It must be recognized that the law of nations
takes precedence over national law... The process will have to be assisted by
the deletion of the nationalistic material employed in educational textbooks
and its replacement by material explaining the benefits of wiser
association."
"It
will be just as easy for nations to get along in a republic of the world as it
is for us to get along in a republic of the
1946
-- Alger Hiss is elected President
of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Hiss holds this office until
1949. Early in 1950, he is convicted of perjury and sentenced to prison after a
sensational trial and Congressional hearing in which Whittaker Chambers, a
former senior editor of Time, testifies that Hiss was a member of his
Communist Party cell.
1946
-- The Teacher and World Government
by former editor of the NEA Journal (National Education Association) Joy
Elmer Morgan is published. He says:
"In
the struggle to establish an adequate world government, the teacher... can do
much to prepare the hearts and minds of children for global understanding and
cooperation... At the very heart of all the agencies which will assure the
coming of world government must stand the school, the teacher, and the
organized profession."
1947
-- The American Education
Fellowship, formerly the Progressive Education Association, organized by John
Dewey, calls for the:
"...
establishment of a genuine world order, an order in
which national sovereignty is subordinate to world authority... "
October,
1947 -- NEA Associate
Secretary William Carr writes in the NEA Journal that teachers should:
"...
teach about the various proposals that have been made
for the strengthening of the United Nations and the establishment of a world
citizenship and world government."
1948
-- Walden II by behavioral
psychologist B.F. Skinner proposes "a
perfect society or new and more perfect order" in which
children are reared by the State, rather than by their parents and are trained
from birth to demonstrate only desirable behavior and characteristics. Skinner's ideas would be widely implemented by educators in the
1960s, 70s, and 80s as Values
Clarification and Outcome
Based Education.
July,
1948 -- Britain's Sir
Harold Butler, in the CFR's Foreign Affairs, sees "a
"How
far can the life of nations, which for centuries have thought of themselves as
distinct and unique, be merged with the life of other nations? How far are they
prepared to sacrifice a part of their sovereignty without which there can be no
effective economic or political union?... Out of the
prevailing confusion a new world is taking shape... which may point the way
toward the new order... That will be the beginning of a real United Nations, no
longer crippled by a split personality, but held together by a common
faith."
1948
-- UNESCO president and Fabian
Socialist, Sir Julian Huxley, calls for a radical eugenic policy in UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy.
He states:
"Thus,
even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy of controlled
human breeding will be for many years politically and psychologically
impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is
examined with the greatest care and that the public mind is informed of the
issues at stake that much that is now unthinkable may at least become
thinkable."
1948
-- The preliminary draft of a World
Constitution is published by
The Constitution provides for a "World Council" along
with a "Chamber of
Guardians" to enforce world law. Also included is a "Preamble" calling upon
nations to surrender their arms to the world government, and includes the right
of this "
"Whereas, in order to achieve universal peace and
justice, the present Charter of the United Nations should be changed to provide
a true world government constitution."
The resolution was first introduced in
the Senate on

would have to sacrifice considerable sovereignty to the world organization to
enable them to levy taxes in their own right to support themselves."
1950
-- In testimony before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, international financier James P Warburg said:
"we shall have a world government, whether or not we like it.
The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by
conquest."
April
12, 1952 -- John Foster
Dulles, later to become Secretary of State, says in a speech to the American
Bar Association in Louisville, Kentucky, that "treaty laws can override the Constitution." He says
treaties can take power away from Congress and give them to the President. They
can take powers from the States and give them to the Federal Government or to
some international body and they can cut across the rights given to the people
by their constitutional Bill of Rights. A Senate amendment, proposed by GOP
Senator John Bricker, would have provided that no treaty could supersede the
Constitution, but it fails to pass by one vote.

humankind on nationalistic grounds.... Thus we look to the development of a
system of world law and a world order based upon transnational federal
government.... The true revolution is occurring."
April,

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Trilateralist
and CFR member Richard Gardner's article The Hard Road to World Order is published in the CFR's Foreign
Affairs where he states that:

my view The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to
seize control and consolidate the four centers of power -- political, monetary,
intellectual, and ecclesiastical. All this is to be done in the interest of
creating a more peaceful, more productive world community. What the Trilateralists truly intend is the creation of a worldwide
economic power superior to the political governments of the nation-states
involved. They believe the abundant materialism they propose to create will
overwhelm existing differences. As managers and creators of the system they
will rule the future."

public education... people are told what to think about... the old order is
crumbling... Nationalism should be seen as a dangerous social disease... A new
vision is required to plan and manage the future, a global vision that will
transcend national boundaries and eliminate the poison of nationalistic
solutions... a new Constitution is necessary."
1988
-- Former Under-secretary
of State and CFR member George Ball in a January 24 interview in the New York Times says:
"The
Cold War should no longer be the kind of obsessive concern that it is. Neither
side is going to attack the other deliberately... If we could internationalize
by using the U.N. in conjunction with the Soviet Union, because we now no
longer have to fear, in most cases, a Soviet veto, then we could begin to
transform the shape of the world and might get the U.N. back to doing something
useful... Sooner or later we are going to have to face restructuring our
institutions so that they are not confined merely to the nation-states. Start
first on a regional and ultimately you could move to a world basis."

that the system was loaded with Communists. And he was right... I'm worried

is the United Nations, "the majority of whose 166 member states are
socialist, atheist, and anti-American."
Funderburk served as ambassador in
Bucharest from 1981 to 1985, when he resigned in frustration over U.S. support
of the oppressive regime of the late Rumanian dictator, Nicolae
Ceausescu.
"We
are beginning to see practical support. And this is a very significant sign of
the movement towards a new era, a new age... We see both in our country and
elsewhere... ghosts of the old thinking... When we rid ourselves of their
presence, we will be better able to move toward a new world order... relying on
the relevant mechanisms of the United Nations."

Winter,
1992-93 -- The CFR's Foreign Affairs publishes Empowering the United Nations by U.N. Secretary General
Boutros-Boutros Ghali, who asserts:
"It
is undeniable that the centuries-old doctrine of absolute and exclusive
sovereignty no longer stands... Underlying the rights of the individual and the
rights of peoples is a dimension of universal sovereignty that resides in all
humanity... It is a sense that increasingly finds expression in the gradual
expansion of international law... In this setting the significance of the
United Nations should be evident and accepted."
1993
-- Strobe Talbott
receives the Norman Cousins Global Governance Award for his 1992 Time
article, The Birth of the Global
Nation and in appreciation for what he has done "for the cause
of global governance." President Clinton writes a letter of congratulation
which states:
"Norman
Cousins worked for world peace and world government.... Strobe Talbott's lifetime achievements as a voice for global
harmony have earned him this recognition... He will be a worthy recipient of
the Norman Cousins Global Governance Award. Best wishes... for future
success."
Not only does President Clinton use the
specific term, "world government," but he also expressly wishes the
WFA "future success" in pursuing world federal government. Talbott proudly
accepts the award, but says the WFA should have given it to the other nominee,
Mikhail Gorbachev.
"What
Congress will have before it is not a conventional trade agreement but the
architecture of a new international system... a first step toward a new world
order."
August
23, 1993 -- Christopher Hitchens, Socialist friend of Bill Clinton when he was at
Oxford University, says in a C-SPAN interview:
"... it is, of course the case that there is a ruling class in this country, and that it has allies internationally."
