When Pres Bush (Sr) started using the term during his administration,
one was led to believe that he or his advisor made up the term.
"One August 1989 morning in Kennebunkport, Maine, Pres Bush (Sr)
took his national security adviser, Brent Scowcroft, for a ride on
the presidential speed boat, Fidelity. Four hours later, the
president came ashore with a ringing slogan that Scowcroft had
offered: "The New World Order" Ever since, the goal of a "new world
order" has been the theme of Bush's Foreign policy pronouncements. ----
LA Times Feb 24, 1991
But this term has actually been used for generations by individuals
seeking one-world socialist rule.
Here are many references to the term (not a complete study) that
refute any claim that it originated with Bush and also prove that it
is a well-used term over many decades to indicate that it meant a
socialist world government. I have also included some other
references that I thought were pertinent.
1915 - Nov 27, Columbia University president Nicholas Murray Butler
(on the executive committee of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace) delivered an address, "A New World Order is
Being Born" to the Union League of Philadelphia in which he

old world order died with the setting of the day's sun and a New
World Order is being born while I speak."

great member of it can proceed independently of the other members.
They must act together; and this is possible only through formal
treaty covenants."
1919 - The January edition of International Conciliation (connected
with the Carnegie organization) focuses upon "A League of Nations."
A cover letter sent, with this edition of the journal, begins with
these words: "The peace conference has assembled. It will make the

rest the stability of the new world order and the future peace of the
world."
1919 - A book entitled The New World Order by Samuel Zane Batten is

Batten declares: "The old order passes from view, the new world
rises upon our vision....We have vindicated the right of social
control..... There must be developed a national spirit of
service....Society must break the stranglehold of capitalism.. ..The
natural resources of the nation must be socialized.. ..The state must
socialize every group....Men must learn to have a world patriotism.
World patriotism must be a faith....There is no more justice for the
claim of absolute sovereignty on the part of a nation than on the
part of an individual.. ..The only alternative is World
Federation.. ..with a world parliament, and international court, and
an international police force....Men must have an international mind
before there can be a world federation. Th
1920 - A book entitled The New World Order (International
Organization, International Law, International Cooperation) by

to "cooperate, here and there, piece by piece, in limiting the
exercise of their sovereign rights."
1927 - The Christian Science Monitor (August 8) quoted from an
address to the World Federation of Education Associations (WFEA) by
Dr. Augustus Thomas (commissioner of education for Maine) at their
Toronto congress: "If there are those who think we are to jump
immediately into a new world order, actuated by complete
understanding and brotherly love, they are doomed to
disappointment. " He says the world must go through a long process of
education "...until the cobwebs of the old order are brushed out of
the minds of the people of all lands."
1928 - A book entitled The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World
Revolution by socialist H. G. Wells is published. He declares

enthusiasms, it may be in control of Moscow before it is in control
of New York...."
1931 - Historian Arnold Toynbee delivers a speech to the Institute
for the Study of International Affairs at Copenhagen in which he
explains: "We are at present working discreetly with all our might
to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches
of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying
with our lips what we are doing with our hands, because to impugn the
sovereignty of the local nation states of the world is still a heresy
for which a statesman or publicist can perhaps not quite be burned at
the stake but certainly be ostracized or discredited. " --

mankind....The main battle is an educational battle.

the new world order....and will die protesting against it."

union?....Out of the prevailing confusion a new world is taking

this future world government to be created by agreement and not by
force or conquest, we will have to be willing to work patiently until
peoples or governments are ready for it....
1949 - Towards World Understanding, vol. V, is published by UNESCO,
and in this volume one reads: "As long as the child breathes the
poisoned air of nationalism, education in world-mindedness can
produce only rather precarious results....For the moment, it is
sufficient to note that it is most frequently in the family that the
children are infected with nationalism by hearing what is national
extolled and what is foreign disparaged.. ..The activity of the school
cannot bring about the desired result unless, repudiating every form
of nationalism. .."
1949 - The New World Order by communist Scott Nearing is published,

nations around the world as part of UN peacekeeping missions.
1953 - The Impact of Science on Society by Fabian Socialist Bertrand
Russell is published in which he declares: " I think the subject
which will be of most importance politically is mass
psychology.. ..Various results will soon be arrived at: that the
influence of home is obstructive. ...although this science will be
diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing
class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions
were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every
government that has been in charge of education for a generation will
be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies
or policemen... .Educational propaganda, with government help, could
achieve this result in a generation. There are, however, two
powerful forces opposed to such a policy: one is religion; the other
is nationalism. ...A scientific world society cannot be stable unless
there is a world government.
1958 - In Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.'s The Coming of the New Deal he

nation-state to the era of world government." James Warburg is a CFR
member and founder of United World Federalists. He is also the son
of Paul Warburg, an architect of the Federal Reserve.
1960 - The United States in the World Arena by Walt Rostow (CFR) is
published. In the book he declares: "It is a legitimate American
objective to see removed from all nations--including the United
States--the right to use substantial military force to pursue their
own interest. Since this residual right is the root of national
sovereignty and the basis for the existence of an international arena
of power, it is, therefore, an American interest to see an end to
nationhood as it had been historically defined."
1961 - Sept, State Department document 7277 titled, "Freedom From
War: The U.S. Program for General and Complete disarmament in a
Peaceful World" is published. Pres Kennedy delivers this to the UN
on Sept 25. This document provides that the United States will
disarm along with other countries so that the UN becomes the
unchallengeable World power....disarmamen t "would proceed to a point
where no state would have the military power to challenge the
progressively strengthened UN Peace Force." This transition is
still going on today.
1962 - March 10 State Department Study Memorandum No. 7, "A World
Effectively Controlled by the United Nations, " written by CFR member
Lincoln Bloomfield, in which he states: "A world effectively
controlled by the United Nations is one in which "world government"
would come about through the establishment of supranational
institutions, characterized by mandatory universal membership and
some ability to employ physical force....(But) if the communist
dynamic was greatly abated, the West might lose whatever incentive it
has for world government" It looks as if now the "communist
menace" has been replaced by the "terrorist menace". And of course
they can switch back to the communist menace or any other kind of
menace whenever they want to.
1962 - A lecture given by CFR member Nelson Rockefeller at Harvard
University in which he says that there is"...a new and free order

pressing us to lead vigorously toward the true building of a new
world order....(with) voluntary service...Sooner perhaps than we may
realize,.... there will evolve the bases for a federal structure of
the free world."
1967 - March 26: Pope Paul VI writes Populorum Progressio and

Carter's national security advisor. In this book he

the maturing of man's universal vision. Marxism is simultaneously a
victory of the external, active man over the inner, passive man and a
victory of reason over belief.....Human beings become increasingly
manipulable and malleable... Today we are again witnessing the
emergence of transnational elites....whose ties cut across national
boundaries.. ..The nation-state is gradually yielding its
sovereignty. ...Further progress will require greater American
sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary
structure will have to be underta

Traveller" by David Rockefeller, who writes about Communist

harmony....There is a very real and pervasive dedication to chairman

Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more
efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high
morale and community purpose. General social and economic progress

social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of
the most important and successful in history."

Studies, in which he will respond to the question about "the new
