together include the breakdown of the family unit, the erosion of community bonds, the loss of spiritual values, the denigration of language, the flooding of young minds with music that stimulates
the basic instincts but doesn’t inspire, and increased exposure to fast and highly sexualized or violent images. The ‘dumbing down’
of radio and television, and the magazine shelves groaning with
little but celebrity gossip and salacious conjecture, are all thought to be part of the psychological warfare being deployed against us.
Beyond the content, even the medium has come under question,
with some pointing to the proliferation of microwave masts and
wireless broadband as being another line of attack. Their potential y negative health effects have been raised even in mainstream circles.
By all these methods, while burdened with debt and increasing
pressures, it is said we are blasted into a state of apathetic
distraction which fosters not revolution, but a sinking into a kind of underlying depression whereby we are prevented from accessing
our higher and more proactive natures. Thus the New World
Order keeps the masses away from the gates of Bohemian Grove
or Bilderberg meetings, while the few troublesome characters
aspiring to awareness can be easily dealt with by ridicule or, when real y necessary, simple removal.
New Age interpretations see this as a lowering of the collective
energy vibration, holding humankind back from making the
evolutionary leaps that psychics and ancient prophecies (
see
p. 27) have been promising for centuries. Indeed, it has been
proposed that one of the reasons for the acceleration of the
control agenda in recent decades is that there is a real awareness of the potential of a cosmic disaster to strike some time soon.
This could manifest as a huge solar flare, asteroid strike, galactic superwave, geophysical upheaval or the return of the Anunnaki
and the planet Nibiru. It is likely that those with an interest in the occult and ancient symbolism would be very aware of prophecies
from previous times and modern astrological predictions. The
wide belief that the period following 21 December 2012 would be

one of global transformation will surely not have been lost on the New World Order’s more mystical y inclined overseers. With their
plans coming along nicely, there would be great wariness about
the possibility of such a disruptive development, and the idea of the human race energetical y transforming beyond the NWO’s
oppressive grip would be of concern. Perhaps this is why they
might be taking no chances and are therefore assailing our mental and physical well-being.
Chemical Compromising
Where social programming fails, chemical suppressants might do
the job. There is great anxiety, in and outside conspiracy circles, about the amount of unpalatable additives and preservatives that
go into most mass-marketed foods. Many are known to produce
dangerous side effects, particularly hyperactivity in children
– who are then diagnosed as having ADHD (attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder) and prescribed drugs such as Ritalin as a suppressant, creating a vicious chemical circle. An incredible one in ten American children are said to be taking Ritalin, while a similar percentage of adults are on anti-depressants, often needlessly. To the cynical, all this is evidence of an active NWO incentive to dope us into submission – on top of the ‘recreational’ street drugs that ruin whole communities. There is a broad conspiracy consensus
that the so-called ‘war on drugs’ is a sham and that the real mandate is to keep their flow going, as the total failure to destroy opium crops in Afghanistan after a decade of Western occupation might
suggest. Why? Because people busy tripping, fighting, robbing or
pimping each other are unlikely to be storming parliaments any
time soon or trying to change the world.
As a civilization we do seem extremely keen to guzzle down
pharmaceuticals of one kind or another, as was demonstrated
when swine flu was promoted as the next great plague in 2009.

Sales of the anti-flu drug Tamiflu duly soared, despite its inability to combat that particular strain of the virus. This led some to wonder if the whole thing was a cash-in from its manufacturers, Roche
Laboratories, or an attempt to flood the world’s bloodstreams
with pathogens that might be triggered by a killer virus at some
later stage (
see below
). The news that former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (who presided over the 9/11 crisis) was
involved with the companies that patented Tamiflu was not taken
lightly by the conspiracy community. That Rumsfeld was also one
of those behind the ubiquitous artificial sweetener aspartame,
much-criticized on alleged safety issues, hardly helped. The grip of the big pharmaceutical companies is seen as another important
component of the ultimate plan.
Fluoridation of water and vaccination programmes are also
staple areas of confrontation from truthseekers, who see them
as further evidence of chemical suppression offered as health
miracles, questioning both their safety and effectiveness. Medical experts who attack such heresy as irresponsible scaremongering
are often quick in turn to scorn other paths – including alternative medicine, homeopathy and high-dose vitamins – as being the
real killers, claiming they lead to people avoiding the allopathic treatments they real y need in favour of ‘quack’ science. Bodies
such as the Codex Alimentarius, the food safety body of the
World Health Organization (WHO), are tightening regulation
of the alternative health industry year by year, to the point where conspiracy theorists believe it will eventual y disappear completely under these ill-founded and restrictive policies.
A few small voices who fight the Codex rules, such as the
National Health Federation and Alliance for Natural Health,
highlight the irony that the WHO seems perfectly content for
everyone to down aspartame and Tamiflu, and supports pharm-
aceuticals which are known to cause hundreds of thousands
of deaths every year, yet it attacks natural products that can
statistical y be shown to have barely hurt anyone.

To the gloomiest theorists, it is almost as if the powers-that-be would be happier if we all dropped down dead . . .
Depopulation Policies?
One of the curious traits of the New World Order is its apparent
propensity for subtly letting people know what its intentions are, as if it can’t help its own boasts or somehow feeds off the speculation around it. There are two very overt examples of this which, if
taken at face value, appear to declare an audacious and worrying
plan to wipe out over 90 per cent of the global population. Over-
population is a genuine anxiety of the times, but is the NWO
planning a drastic remedy?
In 1980, a perplexing monument was erected at Elbert County,
Georgia, USA, describing itself as the ‘Georgia Guidestones’.
Based on plans submitted under the alias ‘R C Christian’, its
sponsors have never revealed themselves. The four Stonehenge-
like slabs, arranged around a central pil ar and capstone to form astronomical alignments, are engraved with platitudes in several
languages, laying down the rules for an idealized Utopian world.
The monument appears designed to survive the ages so that its
advice might one day become the new ancient wisdom for some
post-apocalyptic world. Amidst some more sensible suggestions
sit ones which have caused the stones to become targets of
anti-NWO vandalism over the years: they shockingly advocate
the need for eugenics, a ‘world court’ and, most disturbingly,
directly recommend that the global population be kept under
500,000,000. Given that this is just a tenth of the current
numbers, there is understandable concern about what is planned
for the billions of people seen as surplus to requirements.
Although the Guidestones could be dismissed as the mere
fol y of a wealthy eccentric, supplementary information provided
anonymously in the official booklet accurately duplicates the

aspirations of some of the world’s best-known academics (such
as the aforementioned Wel s and Russell), who openly expressed
similar thoughts in their works.
Other US artworks also appear to petition for eugenics and
depopulation, such as the striking but overtly miserable murals at Denver International Airport, Colorado, which opened in 1995.
These unaccountably depict epic scenes of death and destruction,
one of which includes an image of a boy in Bavarian costume
– the originating country of the Illuminati – beating swords into plough shares. This has been seen as a blatant representation of
the Illuminati implementing the Fourth Reich under cover of
civilian activities. The dead babies and youths in coffins depicted in the murals remind conspiracy theorists of the NWO’s fondness
for effigies of sacrificed children. While art critics may disagree, there are real y few excuses that can be made for exposing holiday travellers to these horrors unless an important subliminal point
is being made. The pale horse with evil glowing eyes outside the
airport appears to cement the message.11 The Cheyenne Mountain
Directorate, a NORAD facility (
see
p. 178), is situated in the Denver region and designated an emergency government shelter. It has been presumed to be a future NWO stronghold in the event of trouble
kicking off – hence, perhaps, the message of the local murals.
The more one looks for evidence of authorities and figureheads
praising the merits of a vastly depopulated world, the more one
finds it, with references made by everyone from Bill Gates and
Prince Philip (no surprise to reptilian agenda aficionados) to
doctors and professors. Agenda 21, a UN initiative begun in
1992 to help achieve environmental ‘sustainability’, has also been accused of harbouring Malthusian population-control policies
and supporting the enforced annexation of private land. The
problem is, when qualified people start to think about something, they can be prone to planning it.
If there is even a spark of truth to all this, how might such a
reduction of the population be achieved? Some believe a killer

virus could be released at an appointed time (seeing AIDS as a
deliberate and discriminatory trial run), while others, as we have seen, claim that the first stage of weakening has already begun,
through slow chemical infiltration. A large number of people,
however, think that the very air we breathe is also being poisoned.
The Chemtrails Mystery
Imagine waking up each morning, afraid for one’s life
because there
are strange clouds criss-crossing the sky
. This is the reality for an increasing number of truthseekers as they fearful y peer up from
their windows, believing that aeroplanes are now deliberately
strafing the human race with dangerous chemicals. If not mass
hysteria, is the claimed surge of unusual vapour trails in recent years evidence of an ongoing depopulation programme, or is a
huge climate engineering experiment in process?
The ‘chemtrails’ phenomenon is one of the fastest-growing
seams of conspiracy alarm, as evidenced by a daily procession
of morose web posts displaying the latest ‘violated’ skies across the globe. It hits hard because the idea that covert forces are
contaminating the air itself means there can be no escape.
Aeroplane contrails have long been a feature in our skies,
forming as water vapour and gases condense into icy cloud
in sub-zero temperatures. War-time photos from the 1940s
display them, and people living under international flight paths
have for years become used to the wispy bands of thin cloud.
The conspiracy world, however, contends that something has
been added to these multiplying trails in recent times, in a
plot so all-encompassing that the majority of the population
simply hasn’t noticed, blinded by its very enormity. These new
embellishments reputedly last longer and spread wider than
standard contrails, laying gauzy veils across the sky, allegedly
creating illness and lethargy among those below. Commercial air

liners have supposedly been adapted or duped into dropping the
deadly toxins, but military activity is also claimed to have been observed.
Despite intense fascination with what truthseekers have
christened chemtrails, this particular debate is muddied by
some awkward areas of uncertainty. Bloggers’ assertions that
‘spraying’ is taking place on any given day tend to make the
assumption that most of the vapour trails we see are abnormal,
