Thirty years ago, The New American altered the paradigm of political discourse with a special issue titled “Conspiracy for Global Control.” Inside the provocative cover, the issue featured 75 pages of articles from an all-star cast of writers, including William F. Jasper, Jane Ingraham, John F. McManus, and Robert W. Lee, among others. “Conspiracy for Global Control” marked perhaps the first time that any periodical of record devoted an entire issue to a topic most are reluctant to consider, the topic that Reverend Clarence Kelly called “Conspiracy against God and man.” That issue examined the evidence for a literal global conspiracy to replace sovereign nations with a socialist world government, a regime that would supersede the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence, would install collectivism and centralized planning in the stead of a free-market economy, and would supplant traditional church- and family-centered culture with the worship of a militantly secular universal state. This conspiracy is not new, we argued then, but has centuries-old roots that have produced some very bitter fruits, such as totalitarian communism in the Soviet Union and China.
“Conspiracy for Global Control” became one of the most iconic issues in the history of The New American. It went through many printings, sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and even made a cameo in a major Hollywood movie of the day, Conspiracy Theory starring Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. Yet for all its notoriety, “Conspiracy for Global Control” struggled to convince a skeptical and indifferent American public.
One reason is the very word “conspiracy.” Thanks to a relentless campaign of propaganda and misdirection by the power elites, the word has been tainted by association with genuine paranoiacs who rave about shape-shifting reptilians in our midst. Yet what other term can be legitimately affixed to the hodgepodge of amoral central bankers, scheming socialist revolutionaries in sheep’s clothing, wealthy globalist elites, corrupt magistrates, and assorted occultists and cultural subversives who for centuries have been driving the transformation of Western Christian civilization into something else? Precisely what that “something else” is to be is concealed by reassuring euphemisms such as “world order” and “sustainable development.” But the conspirators’ activities — and the fact of their common interest and collusion — can leave no doubt, either of their conspiratorial nature or of the intended outcome. More than two centuries ago, they were already at work in the salons and courts of Europe, stirring up revolution, collectivism, and radical secularism in revolutionary France. They had a hand in the peace that followed the French convulsion, guiding the crowned heads of Europe to create a new type of political system: multilateralism. They were involved in the creation of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, which introduced America to the inflationary central banking recommended by Karl Marx in his Communist Manifesto. They guided the Wilson administration into World War I and onward to Versailles, where, for the first time, an embryonic world government, the League of Nations, was conjured into being. They ushered America into socialism, both peacetime and wartime, during the presidency of FDR, a transformation of the American body politic from which our nation has yet to recover. And after dragging America into World War II, they produced a second iteration of world government, the United Nations. In the years since, they have maneuvered the nations of Europe into a regional governmental bloc under the guise of free trade, have waged numerous wars under the banner of the UN, and have worked to subvert and destroy American culture by any means possible.
