Or, how Michael Haupt said, that William Guy Carr said, that Cardinal Caro y Rodriguez of Santiago, Chile said, that The Cause of World Unrest said, that the confessed hoaxer Gabriel Jogand-Pagès aka Dr. Bataille aka Leo Taxil said about Albert Pike and Giuseppe Mazzini in Le diable au XIXe siècle, v. II, 1894, p. 605 (but actually pp. 594-606). Got it?

Until someone can explain what a One World Government is and what reason we should have for being afraid of it, I think we should stop assuming that every time we hear "NWO" that it always implies the final end-game!
If I am not mistaken, it seems that we are now connected more than ever. Small problems that could only affect small countries can now affect the entire globe, revolutions can be started from cell phones. On the flip side: Arab Springs can be arranged from cell phones and Dictators overthrown with Facebook and Tweets from Twitter.
Techonology is advancing at an alarming rate but it is also providing benefits to ppl who had little less than nothing 20 years ago.
If the point of an NWO takeover was to systematically kill, depopulate, enslave, etc., I think "those in power" have either gotten the wrong memo, or they simply dont know how to enslave a population.
Why allow the tools for quick info dissemination? Why find cures? Why modify food to produce larger yields on less land? Why look for alternative energy sources? Why allow Conspiracy Theorists like Alex Jones and forums like this to provide warnings to ppl? Why lie about Aliens, UFO's and possibly God?
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. - Robert F. Kennedy
I simply feel it does no good to think we are being systematically manipulated and controlled. There are tons of ppll that are living fantastics lives and enjoying freedom. Ppl are living longer and becoming connected quicker. Is there really a problem with that?
It seems that the conspiracy should be that; we should think of ourselves as destitute, no matter what we have. And if we have it, then worry about why others live in destitution. This is pessimism of the worst kind. And it is programmed, not by "the powers that be," but by Evolution, and then perhaps manipulated by conspiracy theorists to make some BELIEVE its "the powers that be" are the ones causing all the problems.
I will admit, there are some billions of poor and broken homes, dying starved, no access to food, water and shelter, poor education.
But what real good does it do to assume this was the way "they" planned it?
To me this is a cop out attitude towards the problems of the world. While there are great ppl doing everything in their power to try to correct these problems. You may easily dismiss guys like Bill gates and Mark Zuckerberg. But these guys are doing what conspiracy theorists say is not possible. Providing upgrades to water services and education.
In the end, pessimism is a great challenge. But it can be overcome. The world can be beautiful, but your attitude MUST change first!
Every dictatorship has ultimately strangled in the web of repression it wove for its people, making mistakes that could not be corrected because criticism was prohibited. - Robert F. Kennedy

I'm new to forums like this so I'm not exactly sure how to quote sections but besides that, great job disecting my lines and providing adequate response.
around the text you speak of.
In response to the questions I asked about NWO; The video by Bush doesnt sum up the fearful aspect of what the perceived conspiracy idea of "NWO" is. So how do we get from that video to "NWO - the world takeover?"
You make mention of no knowing what NWO might be, but also assume that it may have something to do with overthrowing laws in place right now. I guess my questions should be; Should those laws be immutabled? Are those laws perfect? Should they be subject to scrutiny and eventually changed if they dont provide the protection they once did? And why do we assume that this "NWO" is a bad thing based on that?
Correct! It can be easily monitored. When you look at how much info can be transferred, i guess it can be easy to assume the purpose of the free flow of info can be to monitor. It can and will be. But is that the only way it can be looked at?
You look at how many ppl can be caught because of their own stupidity of posting on the internet like FB and Twitter. Cops can track known dealers of drugs. It happens. Furthermore, the amount of positive info that can be transferred is also incredible. You can now access parts of the world in turmoil and have a better grip on the situation rather than having only the News ie; Fox, Cnn, and the like provide it for you.
You can access different cultures and writings by many known authors, you can build a business with one click. Privacy can be an issue. But to me, only to the effect that ppl have to access the net and be mindful of what they put out there.
If it was soley to monitor info and tighten security, I somehow doubt internet sensations like Alex Jones, The Young Turks, the many conspiracy theory channels (FarhanK and undercoveralien), and conspiracy theory web pages would be accessible. These sites seek to create an awareness of some impending doom.
Not to mention the seeming rise of Atheism and the new pages and books that arrived over the past few years. Doesnt Atheism undermine what Christians in the US feel is a Christian Nation? Rick Santorum and Michelle Bachmann are hard right believers.
We Make mention of "the powers that be" ability to kill, depopulate, and enslave;
One this view, you claim that wars are erupting, corruption and violence. And that while all of it may not be part of the plan, most of it Might be...
I dont agree. The standards of living are improving more often than not. Life expectancy is increasing, ferility rates dropping, education and access is increasing, water is getting to more, food yields are increasing on less land, we are finding more cures for diseases.
Next, you quote Kennedy in an attempt to answer the questions of cures, food yields, energy resources, etc.;
Firstly, this quote is ambiguous and doesnt answer the questions I asked. It can be interpretted a number of ways. That quote can also be interpretted in the fretted way of NWO as well!
"I have seen what could be and asked why not." When looked upon as him saying just about the same thing as Bush stated in the video, it seems you can interpret this in the way that says "With the NWO, '"I have seen what could be and asked why not.' " Can you make this interpretation as well?It seems to me that he could have been talking about bringing about a better world..
We make mention of "the need to look at things pessimistically. You've claimed that because of the influencial ppl that made the statements we should be curious.
I agree! Be curious, Be skeptical, And question. When you look at this already pre-deciding what to look for, i.e; pessimistically, then you have already biased your opinions before the words come out of their mouths. This is the pessimism I speak of.
We humans, have the tendancy to look for things to be afraid of. We look for patterns and try to detect meaning. We apply intentional agency to thing that, quite frankly, dont have any meaning or intentionality at all. This is how we learn though. We jump to conclusion. False negatives and False positives. Associative learning. This is the evolutionary programming we have endured. Hundred thousand years ago, this method would have had to been useful for detecting predators and dagngers. Today, we suffer from the same hueristics and cognative biases.

Dear friend
l hope not to hurt yours feelings
But l have to tell you ; if one of the most value person for you were to say that the girl there turn up pregnant without a male would believe , bet 100 bucks that you would not believe, but you insist in believe in something that was made more then 1500 years ago .
The point is that one cannot start his thoughts from something that is not factual .
ALL THE BEST
