Origin of NWO?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.whitewolf (More info?)

Since a couple of months, website I write for has become a project of the
Dutch Organisation for Scientific Research (Nederlandse organisatie voor
Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek).

As you might have noticed, this means I'm now officially working for the
NWO. Yes. Stayka was right when she pegged me for that Convention after all.

Now I'm wondering...anyone know in what realworld piece of fiction the New
World Order was first mentioned? 'Cause I'd love to write a short piece for
the internal network of the organisation...

Best to you all,
Gieljan

Wasn't it that book, "The Illuminati"? Or "The Illuminati
Conspiracy"? Or something like that? Robert Anton Wilson wrote it, I
think.

I know the term has enjoyed new popularity ever since Pres. Bush (the
Elder, not the Younger) used the phrase in a speech to a joint session
of Congress during the Persion Gulf War. Bush the Elder used it
several times, in fact, and in doing so inadvertently breathed new
life into the paranoid-conspiracy-tinfoil-hat community. Not since
Eisenhower described the "military-industrial complex" has a phrase so
invigorated so many kooks so thoroughly.

Also, Hilter used the term a few times, as the tinfoil-hat guys will
tell you at the earliest possible opportunity.

"The Illuminati Trilogy" by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. Absolutely
essential reading, IMHO.

The original inspiration for the phrase is the Latin motto "Novus
Ordo Seclorum" - more properly "a new order of the ages" - which
was taken from a passage in Virgil's Eclogues. "New World Order"
is not a direct translation of it, but it's been used repeatedly
to convey a similar ideal. Some source have drawn a distinction
between Novus Ordo Seclorum as a hope for a new era of peace and
freedom and Novus Ordo Mundi as the fear of a totalitarian world
government, but it really depends on who's using it. "New World
Order" gets more bad press, no matter how you slice it.

Kenneth Scroggins would have been a great one to answer this.
He was "The Man in Black," back when giants like Anders Sandberg
walked the earth, or at least posted to a.g.ww. He had a page
covering the history of the NWO, and currently has a Delta Green
page:
