In These New Times

The main weakness of this film is that it follows the NWO meme, that has been central to the Alex Jones analyses for many years. There is no analyses of Chinese and Russian concepts of the multipolar world that has been in most of their foreign policy documents since the nineties and has had a resonance in the EU, Latin America and the non aligned movement throughout the globe. This picture of a united global elite ignores the power shift from unipolar world to the BRIC countries and its expanding allies. By implication it suggests that the end of the US empire has been designed by a global elite and not by the US/UK blindly following neo liberal deregulation and neo con foreign wars, policies that aimed for world hegemony, and did not gain it. To point to a monolithic global elite here is ridiculous.
The film seems to assume there is no difference for instance between Chavez and Obama. Also that the world banking system represents a monolith but that is over simplistic, to say the least. The relationship between government and central banks is quite different throughout the world. The tail does not wag the dog in the emerging markets. There is no distinction between nationalized and privatized central banks in this film.
The extent of the crisis in the Anglosphere is over looked as the UK and the US are emerging failed States. Dependency on the rest of the world will be the only interim solution as creditors dictate terms of repayment.
However, the Republic is undoubtedly under attack by the increasingly parasitic financial oligarchy. Solutions will only emerge as populations and their representatives as they say colloquially “get real”. and leave behind the “business as usual” mentality.

Totally agree! This NWO stuff is going so far that you can almost see it as a possible WW3 pretext. With the NWO being identified with the main poles of the new multipolar reality and the inevitable reformed or refounded global organisations, the way is clear to present them as the enemy. Since both left and right in the anglosphere tend to converge around hostility to NWO or “global capitalism” they could both be brought onside for a showdown against Russia, China et al. Certainly, this current has to be watched carefully whether it be Global Research on the left or Alex Jones on the right.
