The “New World Order” refers to the height of the British Empire in 1900 when there was more gold in the Bank of England than anywhere else in the world. American politicians saying this is just taking the piss out of the British for being more powerful. Also, “The Illuminati” refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, That disbanded in the 1850s. There are many spin-offs and people using perceived power to influence and manipulate people in society, But there is no main group of world leaders plotting how to best keep people enslaved, It is many different groups with different agendas competing with each other. It’s not as organized as people at the bottom would think. The bilderberg group is probably the closest comparison to something like world leaders organized, Bit it’s about corporate cooperation more than enslavement. The CIA used this perceived power in something called “operation mindfuck” where they spread rumors in Playboy magazine about “the Illuminati”. Freemasonry is the best closest comparison to a global cult, But they basically teach the traditions of Christianity. There are subsects of Freemasonry inspired secret societies, But again they just influence culture and society, Not really control people. If you are dumb enough not to think for yourself and do research on these groups it can be hard to understand their influence, But politicians are really just talking heads for this influence. Saturnus Fraturnai, Ordeo Templi Orientis, The temple of Set, Are more obscure groups inspired by freemasonry, They do influence society, But have little to no actual power. I would say Mafia members paying lobbyists is more of a direct threat to society and culture than these social groups carrying religious traditions in mysterious ways. If you don’t make due diligence you are easily manipulated.
