Why would I say that? I don't even know what the New World Order is.
It's because Glenn Beck and Alex Jones agree.
On the surface they seem to be on opposite sides of the fence: Beck believes that individuals fighting for the elimination of a dictator will lead to the New World Order.
Alex Jones believes that individuals fighting for the elimination of a dictator will lead to additional layers of government control to prevent such a thing from happening again in other places, such as the United States, which will lead to the New World Order.
And though Beck and Jones might have philosophical differences, they use the same tool to get their points across: fear. Naked, slimy, stinky, mysterious, hot and cold running . . .
!!!FEAR!!!
The beauty of the New World Order is that NOBODY knows what it is. Nobody knows why it's bad. Like using the bible to prove something, the New World Order is the perfect substitute for something one might really need to fear, such as fear itself.
Fear is dangerous.
Fear caused an asshole in Arizona to kill people. Fear causes irrational people to arm themselves against . . . something, anything that might be coming to get them. Fear causes the irrational to go looking for the bogey-man.
So, before you go running to the nearest K-Mart to arm yourself against the almighty, all consuming fear of an unknown future, take a breath. Walk an old lady across the street. Stick your tongue out at a child. Wave at your neighbors. But for fuck's sake, calm down.
