This article is one of a score that comprise The New American’s new bookazine, The Great Reset and Transhumanism, available from ShopJBS.org.
The Great Reset, the New World Order, the Fourth Industrial Revolution — these are all catchphrases used by Deep State globalists to describe their plans to erode national sovereignty and replace it with tyrannical world government. Robert Welch, who founded The John Birch Society (JBS) in 1958, warned then of the long-range plan “to induce the gradual surrender of American sovereignty, piece by piece and step by step, to various international organizations — of which the United Nations is the outstanding but far from only example — while the Communists are simultaneously and equally getting complete working control of such organizations.”
The brilliant contributors to Wikipedia (whoever they are) ridicule this as “conspiracy theory which hypothesizes a secretly emerging totalitarian world government.” They promise that use of the term New World Order (NWO) refers to “world governance only in the sense of new collective efforts to identify, understand or address global problems that go beyond the capacity of individual nation-states to solve.” You know, things such as Covid, climate change, and gender equality — or any chimera that suits globalist purposes to establish totalitarian rule.
Those pushing for world government openly admit sinister motives. In his 2002 Memoirs, the late billionaire and Deep State financier David Rockefeller bragged about his family’s role in the demise of their homeland:
Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as “internationalists” and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.
Likewise, President Joe Biden has long trumpeted the NWO. As a U.S. senator he described his “love” for it in a 1992 Wall Street Journal op-ed in which he proposed handing over control of U.S. military forces to the 15-member UN Security Council. Since then, he has repeatedly pledged his allegiance to this sovereignty-eroding cause, making headlines in March 2022 when he issued a rallying cry to CEOs of the Business Roundtable: “There’s going to be a New World Order out there, and we’ve got to lead it.”
Major media issued a collective eye-roll toward “conservatives” who “jumped on” his words to promote their “conspiracy theory.” Newsweek claimed that the NWO parlance first emerged in the 1990s, with implicit reference to then-President George H.W. Bush’s speech before a joint session of Congress on the threshold of the Persian Gulf War. In it, he named five objectives of U.S.-led military involvement in the Mideast conflict, including the establishment of “a new world order,” which he described as a military merger of countries worldwide under the command of the UN Security Council.
Military merger is only one arm of the leviathan planned by globalists. According to their blueprint spelled out in the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, the goal is enslavement of humanity. Gone will be God-given rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. In their place will be dictatorship, loss of parental rights and medical autonomy, coercive population control, forced conscription to UN-controlled police forces, lack of access to dependable and reliable energy sources, criminalization of religion, replacement of national currencies with an international monetary system, and complete civilian disarmament.
Those mapping the way openly admit they are after more than cooperative “collective efforts,” and despite major media claims, the NWO is nothing new. Consider the back of the Great Seal of the United States, printed on one-dollar bills today: the familiar all-seeing eye atop a pyramid, and underneath on a scroll are the Latin words Novus Ordo Seclorum — New Order of the Ages, or New World Order.
Obviously, the NWO predates the modern age, but when was it born? That’s an important question to answer, because solving any problem requires discovering its origin. So, let’s begin stepping back in time to tap the source and unplug the Great Reset.

Twentieth-century Manifestations
Just before Welch issued his 1958 warning, Senator Joseph McCarthy had tried to alert Americans to communist infiltration into every aspect of society in the 1950s. For his heroism he was maligned and persecuted by that diabolical machine already well established and much larger than he suspected. Not even Donald Trump has endured the persecution McCarthy faced — and still does. Merriam-Webster has immortalized him in the term “McCarthyism,” defined as “the use of tactics involving personal attacks on individuals by means of widely publicized indiscriminate allegations, especially on the basis of unsubstantiated charges.”
McCarthy’s charges were far from unsubstantiated. As proof we need look no further than the raid by Michigan law enforcement of the secret convention of the Communist Party of America on August 22, 1922 — a century ago. The 1924 book Reds in America by R.M. Whitney describes the incident:
The most colossal conspiracy against the United States in its history was unearthed at Bridgman, Michigan, August 22, 1922, when the secret convention of the Communist party of America was raided by the Michigan Constabulary, aided by county and federal officials. Two barrels full of documentary proof of the conspiracy were seized and are in possession of the authorities. Names, records, checks from prominent people in this country, instructions from Moscow, speeches, theses, questionnaires — indeed, the whole machinery of the underground organization, the avowed aim of which is the overthrow of the United States Government, was found in such form as to condemn every participant.
The documents proved infiltration of every political party at the time; every trade, labor, and agricultural union; the feminist movement; news and media; stage and screen; schools and universities; and the American military. The cancer was growing at a healthy pace within every branch and agency of the federal government, especially in the State Department, affecting foreign policy.
Subversives fomented racial agitation through the civil rights movement and the American Civil Liberties Union, established in 1920 by “Reverend” Harry F. Ward, a Methodist minister and so-called Christian socialist. Former Communist Party official Manning Johnson told Congress in 1953 that Ward “has been the chief architect for communist infiltration and subversion in the religious field.” (That was one of McCarthy’s supposedly “unsubstantiated” claims.)
These same communist conspirators of the Bridgman ilk had orchestrated that perversion of religion with establishment in 1908 of the Federal Council of Churches (now known as the National Council of Churches), and would later establish the World Council of Churches in 1948 to persuade all religions to accept world government. After all, who needs God when we’ve got the UN?
And even though Bridgman was such a bombshell, anyone who tried to do anything about it was shut down just as McCarthy was. Therefore, the same conspirators and their progeny were free to meet in 1944 at the wartime Dumbarton Oaks Conference, which laid the groundwork for fulfillment of their plans for a one world government — a New World Order — by founding the United Nations in 1945. Within five years, Americans would learn that their secretary-general at the UN’s founding conference in San Francisco was a communist spy: Alger Hiss.
Hiss had been hand-picked by John Foster Dulles. In the 1950s Dulles was President Eisenhower’s secretary of state, but prior to that he had served as legal counsel to the U.S. delegation at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, which formed the world-government trial-run League of Nations. Dulles also helped write the preamble to the UN Charter.
A less well-known but far more significant item on his résumé is that he was a founding member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in 1921, as was Colonel Edward Mandell House, architect of the League of Nations and chief advisor to President Woodrow Wilson. The CFR would quickly become a “rite of passage” and chief recruiting ground for government officials, particularly in areas of foreign affairs, national security, and finance — no matter which party happened to be in power at the time. In fact, the United Nations can attribute its initial success to the CFR: There were 47 council members in the U.S. delegation to the founding conference of the UN, and Alger Hiss was one of them.
Show Me the Money
Financial backers of the CFR — the power behind the throne — included the Rockefeller and Morgan interests, among other Wall Streeters, who have likewise bankrolled other secret and semi-secret societies such as the Trilateral Commission, an international version of the CFR, and the Bilderberg group, founded in 1954 by former Nazi Prince Bernhard. History records other American financiers, such as Jacob Schiff and William Boyce Thompson, who funded those demons Trotsky and Lenin in Russia.
Later on, others would take the cue from them. In his “Bicentennial Message” in the July 1976 JBS Bulletin, Welch recorded alarming accounts of CFR member Dwight Eisenhower bolstering Stalin in Russia. He recounted that U.S. General George C. Marshall, who hamstrung Chiang Kai-shek’s anti-communist forces, made Mao Tse-tung’s conquest of China a reality. CFR member Zbigniew Brzezinski ensured financing for Pol Pot’s Killing Fields in Cambodia, and U.S. General Edward Lansdale gets credit for Ho Chi Minh’s success in North Vietnam through his subversive efforts in the U.S. State Department.
Speaking of financing, let’s not forget Jekyll Island, Georgia. It was there in 1910 that Wall Street planned its takeover of the bank reserves of the entire country by laying the foundation of the Federal Reserve System, a private banking cartel that operates under the aegis of the federal government to this day. Then there are international bankers such as the Rothschilds, of whom Welch wrote, “Some of them have demonstrated convincingly what Satan could do if he only had enough money.”
He also wrote about the progenitors of these wealthy international banking interests and conspirators. Their antecedents backed revolutions during the 18th and 19th centuries across Europe — the godless French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, the Carbonari in France and Italy, and the Fabians in England. It’s worth noting that the first edition of The Communist Manifesto was printed in London, where Karl Marx was living in exile because both Germany and France booted him for his radicalism. Who funded the printing and subsequent translation of that filthy document into 30 languages and hundreds of editions? The working poor of Germany or the peasants of Russia?

On U.S. Soil
But communism was only one arm of this conspiratorial hydra. It was these same fomenters of fraternal hatred, according to Welch, who helped bring about the American Civil War and the horror of the “reconstruction” period. They’d been on American soil since before the birth of the United States. When President George Washington sent troops to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1794 to squelch the Whiskey Rebellion, they found French flags flying over the courthouse — a clear link to the godless, murderous French Revolution that was going on at the same time. About that incident, Washington wrote, “I consider this insurrection as the first formidable fruit of the Democratic Societies.”
That was his term for organizations of the Jacobins, or Illuminati, which established a foothold in the United States in its earliest days. John Jay, our nation’s first chief justice, wrote, “The Jacobins are still more numerous, more desperate, and more active in the country than is generally supposed.”
Who were these Jacobins, or Illuminati? Two books, written simultaneously by two authors who knew nothing of each other, first exposed them. The Abbé Barruel of France published Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism in 1799, and an Englishman, John Robison, in 1798 wrote Proofs of a Conspiracy against all the Religions and Governments of Europe, carried on in the secret meetings of Freemasons, Illuminati and Reading Societies.
Both books told the story of Adam Weishaupt, who, on May 1, 1776, founded the Bavarian Illuminati, a secret society to forward the same godless aims of his descendants to come in the 19th and 20th centuries: the destruction of thrones and altars — the overthrow of both church and state — for the establishment of a New World Order.
That is the origin and meaning of the aforementioned Great Seal of the United States, which describes the structure of the Illuminati: a pyramid — where initiates begin at the bottom and gradually rise higher. As the “unworthy” are weaned out, smaller numbers reach higher “mysteries.” The all-seeing eye at the top represents the relative few who have attained the most elevated status, and the words Annuit Coeptis (“He favors our undertaking”) flank the eye. The roman numerals at the pyramid’s base — MDCCLXXVI, or 1776 — refer to the founding of the Illuminati (not the signing of the Declaration of Independence), and, as noted before, the image is underlined with Novus Ordo Seclorum (“New World Order”).
It was members of the Continental Congress who fashioned that seal in 1782, which proves John Jay’s assessment correct. They were already numerous and active, even in the national legislature. Interestingly, the Illuminati’s founding marks the beginning of most discussions of the historical conspiracy to establish a New World Order.
Nothing New Under the Sun
However, doesn’t that give Weishaupt too much credit? He only regurgitated the dross of others: troublemakers such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot in the 18th century, who were in turn the intellectual offspring of 17th-century revolutionaries such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. These men of the so-called Enlightenment espoused the philosophy that all we need is intellectual capability unhindered by God’s law or any moral code beyond hedonism. Man can be his own god, they preached, and the highest virtues are tolerance and skepticism.
“Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society,” wrote the late Reverend D. James Kennedy. “When you have an immoral society that has blatantly, proudly violated all of the commandments of God, there is one last virtue they insist upon: tolerance for their immorality.”
Is it any wonder that atheism flourished under their watch? Yet they, too, were repeating a recurrent theme of totalitarians, who set themselves up as gods throughout history. The caesars of Ancient Rome and the pharaohs of Egypt were all reputed deities.
In fact, the Christian Old Testament, the Jewish Encyclopedia, and the Roman historian Flavius Josephus all record that the first time anyone tried to subject mankind to tyrannical world government was at the Tower of Babel, when Nimrod wanted to build an edifice to heaven — to reach the clouds — and set himself up as a god. The good news is his plan didn’t work; the bad news is that everyone paid the price, and still does. God scattered mankind and confused their language. Knowing that history, it’s disturbing to think that the European Parliament building in Strasbourg is modeled after the famous 1563 painting by Breugel of the Tower of Babel.
Globalists are openly (and inanely) planning a new Babel! Consider that Klaus Schwab’s top advisor, Yuval Noah Harari, in his 2017 book Homo Deus [God Man]: A Brief History of Tomorrow, talks about building “digital dictatorships” by hacking humans and reengineering life itself. At the World Economic Forum meeting in 2020, he called this dystopian vision the greatest revolution in history. “Science is replacing evolution not by natural selection, but by intelligent design. Not the intelligent design of some God above the clouds,” he said mockingly, pointing upward, “but our intelligent design,” stored in the digital “cloud.”
The Lie vs. Truth
Harari and his breed are obviously repeating Nimrod’s folly, so is Babel the source of their god-like aspirations? Is that where mankind first heard the words “You will be like gods”?
No! That was the Original Lie, heard in the Garden of Eden when man was still innocent. It was the lie that spurred the Original Sin and inspired him to raise his fist against his Creator and say, “Not Thy will but mine be done.” It brought about the fall of man and is the origin of the conspiracy against God and His creation. It was spoken by Satan, the first being to challenge God’s supremacy.
“Since the day of his first lie he has not ceased to hate the truth, and you listen to him.” These words of Jesus Christ are recorded in the New Testament Gospel of Saint John. They rightfully rebuked the power brokers of His day who corrupted law for their own prideful, selfish ends.
But if the conspiracy’s origin is spiritual, does the answer lie simply in prayer?
Prayer is certainly essential. It is manly action, which takes dedication and humility. Cowards are those who say, “Leave praying to the women.” But it is equally spineless to say, “I’m just going to pray and let God take care of the rest.” That’s a neat way to blame God when things go wrong.
If you are in the world, you must do more than pray. God put you here for such a time as this. He expects you to help expose the Lie, too, in imitation of His Son.
That is what The John Birch Society has been attempting to do since 1958. The architects of the new Babylon would likely already have succeeded had JBS not been exposing their Lie for the last six-plus decades.
Now, you are being given a chance to play your small but significant role in this great drama that has been unfolding for millennia. Consider your short window of opportunity to do so. To put it in perspective, realize that in your family tree, between you and your ancestor who was alive when Jesus walked the Earth, there are only about 60 people. That thought drives home the point that history is finite and life is short.
Play your part in this defense of your country, your family, and your individual freedoms. Follow up prayer with action. Join The John Birch Society. Subscribe to The New American. Educate yourself, your family, your friends, your elected representatives. Help the JBS stand as the stone wall opposing this preternatural conspiracy against God and man, with — in the words of Robert Welch — education as “our total strategy” and truth as “our only weapon.”
