Extra-Terrestrial Conspiracies: Arguments For
So many ancient cultures record stories of beings from the heavens
visiting our world and interbreeding with humankind that they
cannot just be symbolic and must record something tangible
that occurred long ago – Bloodlines are without doubt jealously
maintained among monarchies and noble dynasties, something
which could have more meaning than meets the eye – Reports of
UFOs are made too often by qualified professionals and reliable
military personnel to all be imagination or mundane phenomena,
and it is clear that overt cover-ups are maintained – Whistleblowers
from Roswell seem convinced that what crashed there was not
human in origin and should therefore be taken seriously – Too

many abductions are reported for all of them to be lies, and if some
occur through a col ective psychological experience, surely this is
an important phenomenon worth study in itself? – The reptilian
agenda sounds outlandish on the surface, but a significant number
of people believe in it and it may embody at least some important
truths – Child abuse is so serious that if it takes extra-terrestrial
theories to bring it to the surface, then the association should not be
entirely rejected.
ConClusion
The evidence that visitors or infiltrators from other worlds,
both friendly and hostile, may be routinely interacting with us
is not easy to discount completely in the light of the evidence.
Information on UFOs and other unexplained activity
is
very clearly covered up – literal y, in the case of documents which have been force-released under Freedom of Information requests,
with much of their crucial content blacked out in the name of
‘national security’.
For those unable to accept the more paranormal connotations
of global agendas, however, perhaps there comes a point where it
matters not whether the perpetrators of abuses and controls are
human or extra-terrestrial. If the actions are the same, then the counteractions must be so too. Ultimately, the population of the
world has to deal with its rulers, whatever their real form might be, and the assertions made about the kind of consciousness that
might be driving the New World Order agenda remain relevant
either way.

CONSPIRACIES
Behind virtual y every conspiracy theory of modern times lies the
thread that each component may serve a wider purpose: that of
laying the foundations for a ‘New World Order’. The belief that
a shadowy ruling elite is gradual y implementing a political y,
economical y and social y unified planet to its own blueprint
by any means necessary has become a central pil ar for most
truthseekers, who see it as a plot to dominate through suppression
of freewill and subjugation through fear. Derided by sceptics as
the ultimate expression of misguided paranoia, the NWO theories
have nonetheless made many people take a serious look at how
their world is governed.

Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field
of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody,
are afraid of something. They know that there is a
power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful,
so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had
better not speak above their breath when they speak in
condemnation of it.
While academics have other interpretations, this passage is seen
by conspiracy theorists as an acknowledgement of the covert elite al uded to many times throughout the book you hold now. Perhaps
ironical y, Wilson’s proposed ‘new freedoms’ wouldn’t last long
once he was in office, and he would go on to help found the Federal Reserve and a number of other institutions now traditional y eyed with suspicion. Nonetheless, this may be an overt reference to the all-pervading forces that are said to be putting the blocks into place for the New World Order. This staple of conspiracy doctrine is
widely perceived as the underlying thread that binds together many of the plots, assassinations and political deceptions which keep
researchers busy.
‘New World Order’ is not a term invented by truthseekers, but
one widely employed by politicians envisaging a state of global
unity, stability and prosperity. With certain countries policing it, of course. Such talk has inevitably become the target of intense
scrutiny by those who fear that what the NWO is real y moving
towards is a ‘one world government’, a geopolitical super-entity to end all independent sovereignty and place great power into very
few hands – hands that already have blood on them.
Origins of the New World Order
It could be argued that the Roman Empire and other ancient
models (
see
chapter 2) were attempts to implement an enforced 226

unification long ago. Run by a central body using a network of
puppet provinces across the known world, it is a history surely
not lost on today’s planners. The genesis of the modern NWO,
though, may have been seeded by the European secret societies
of the 18th century. Those who believe occult agendas lie behind
the project traditional y cite a short-lived Bavarian order, the
Illuminati, as being one of its starting points. Although official y suppressed by 1785, the order is widely believed to have survived underground, infiltrating governments, financial systems and
religious institutions, quietly implementing rule from the shadows through every group from Jesuits to Zionists. The many fictional
representations of the Illuminati have probably blurred the reality and imbued whatever passes for them today with an unlikely
omnipotence, but the name has stuck as a catch-all term for the
perceived ruling elite.
The Illuminati, combined with higher degree Freemasons
accused of contributing to the NWO agenda, are considered to
have adopted (if as an affectation) their intrinsic mysticism and occult symbols from archaic cultures, predominantly Egyptian.
Much of this knowledge is itself believed to have been preserved
through the ages by the Rosicrucians, Knights Templar, Knights
Hospitallers and other mysterious orders, jealously guarding
important wisdoms for the exclusive use of the elite. This claimed influence from aeons past has fed directly into the extra-terrestrial bloodline theories discussed in chapter 7.
For all its supposed Bavarian influences, the true NWO
blueprint is considered by scholars such as Terry Boardman to
have begun with the ruling classes of Britain and America in the
19th century.1 But the influence of secret societies on the founding of the USA in 1776 is widely believed to have been profound. It
has led extremist Christians to accuse America of having been
formed on Satanic principles with a view to fulfilling the biblical prophecy of the Antichrist, whose coming has supposedly been
nurtured in the centuries since.

Conversely, others believe that underpinning US politics
is a conviction that it is America’s duty to help bring about
the New Jerusalem spoken of in St John’s Book of Revelation.
Problematical y, the prophecy cannot manifest (neither
can the much-desired ‘Rapture’, where the devout hope for
bodily ascension into heaven) until the cataclysmic battle of
Armageddon has taken place. To some, this explains why world
peace has not resulted from America’s policies, if bringing about the apocalypse is its real agenda. Warlords convinced they are
doing God’s work (as George W Bush told Palestinian officials
he was, when asked why he invaded Iraq in 2003) worry some
people.2 Certainly the influence of evangelical ‘End-Time’
preachers like Ted Haggard on presidents such as Bush has
been powerful, and other leading politicians have shown similar
leanings, with Hil ary Clinton said to be a member of the End-
Time movement ‘The Family’. If certain citizens of America see
themselves as being God’s new ‘chosen’ people, taking on or
sharing the mantle of the Israelites, this could be a factor in their country’s proactive role in setting up a New World Order, using
it as a vehicle for their own beliefs.
The other major founder of the NWO vision, Britain, may have
similar convictions in its own ‘chosen’ status (with Tony Blair
also having taken advice from Haggard). With many legends
claiming that the Holy Grail was brought to British shores,
it could be that biblical threads from long ago are once again
being used for nationalistic ends. Perhaps it seemed natural that Britain, with its own burgeoning empire and as one of America’s
parent nations, should join forces with its progeny to reignite the dreams of an all-powerful political union to lead the world. By
the 1870s, high-society links between Britain and America were
blossoming, and the creation of the Pilgrim’s Society in 1902,
and the Round Table soon after, cemented bonds further, with
an aim of uniting the moneyed classes across the Atlantic.

The Project Grows
Some reject the idea that religion underpins the NWO agenda,
seeing it as a smokescreen for more earthly concerns of money,
power and ideology. Indeed, when one of Britain’s leading
politicians Arthur Balfour wrote to America’s President Theodore
Roosevelt in 1909, esotericism seemed not to be in his mind,
lobbying instead for what Terry Boardman aptly describes as:
A global Anglo-Saxon confederation that would police the
world with the navies of the two countries and through their
invincible domination bring eternal peace and prosperity.
Over the years, similar proposals would follow Balfour’s invitation, which some would say was duly, if quietly, implemented.
Meanwhile, more public cal s for a New World Order were made
by leading academics such as H G Wel s and Bertrand Russel , if
founded in more Utopian ideals – that is, if Utopianism includes
an open avocation of eugenics, which is another plan still feared to be lurking in the background.
However, if an Anglo-US alliance was the original core of the
NWO, the two World Wars – considered by some to have been
contrived for its very purpose (
see
pp. 68, 75) – saw a rebalancing of the driving forces behind it. After 1945, a blitzed and economical y weak Britain was suddenly, to appearances at least, now a secondary force to the thriving USA. Along with a number of new countries
aspiring to NWO ideals, America forged ahead with alliances and
campaigns of its own, while the controversial 1948 foundation
of the State of Israel refocused attention back onto the original promised land. However, the continued importance of institutions
such as the financial City of London (effectively an independent
state within the UK) and the British monarchy, reptilian or not,
meant that certain powerful threads remained. Even now the USA
goes out of its way to court British support for its actions, which 229

is perhaps an odd thing for a superpower to do. It may be that the oft-mentioned ‘special relationship’ is more meaningful than at
first appears, as Anunnaki bloodline researchers certainly believe.
Critics of NWO theories maintain that, by conspiracy theorists’
own arguments, the contention that events such as the
Lusitania
sinking and the attack on Pearl Harbor had to be engineered to
bring the USA into both World Wars (
see
chapter 3) is a sign of transatlantic division, not background union. Likewise, the
traditional US unwillingness to comply with policies of the UN
and NATO (founded in 1945 and 1949, respectively) that don’t
suit it could also be seen as evidence that America would resist
absorption into a one world government. Conspiracy defenders,
however, claim these ‘reluctances’ are part of the sleight of hand, feigning one stance but implementing another, albeit with a little petty hustling to ensure the New World Order continues to be led
by one of its primary founders.
Likewise, sceptics who attack truthseekers’ beliefs that
the EU is one of the roads towards the Orwellian superstates
allegedly envisaged by the NWO often do so on the basis that
the euro has proved to be a contradictorily unstable currency.
This is countered by the assertion that it was always
planned
to be unstable. Realizing that an overtly federal system would
