500 Years in the Making: The Real New World Order
It’s The Last Thing You Expected, But It’s Inevitable
I can’t recall hearing the phrase “New World Order” before George Bush Sr. began using it during his presidency from 1988 to 1992. Reagan never used it, to my recollection. Don’t recall either much because you’re too young? OK, but are you curious or incurious?
The backstory is that I was a US Navy officer from 1984 to 1992. My tenure was half Reagan, half Bush. Reagan, of course, set the stage—so it’s claimed—but I think there’s a good argument that he laid the groundwork for ending the Cold War. It’s a confluence of economics and technology. Reagan, economics, and technological advancements all came to fruition in the mid-late ’80s, making it clear that communism wasn’t going to be the New World Order. That whole system collapsed over a period of years. Then Bush came in, and everyone saw the writing on the wall. That’s when Bush started using this term: New World Order, 1,000 points of light. He painted a picture of World Peace and Kumbaya.
Was he sincere? Was it part of the cabal’s narrative? Was it heartfelt? Who knows? I don’t. Conspiracy theories bore me, even though many seem to come true over time. The hound-dog thing of zeroing in on small sets of facts isn’t my thing. I like to look at the big picture. 35,000 feet minimum altitude. Let the ravenous conspiracy theorists have their fun; it’s not my scene.
I asked our resident Chatbot Zon (ChatGPT-4o, trained to be non-woke).
Zon: The phrase “New World Order” has a long and complex history, predating George H.W. Bush’s presidency. It has been used in various contexts over the centuries, often referring to a significant shift in political, economic, or social structures on a global scale.
However, George H.W. Bush did indeed popularize the term in the modern political lexicon. He used it prominently in a speech before a joint session of Congress on September 11, 1990, in the context of the end of the Cold War. Bush described a vision of a world where diverse nations would work together in harmony to achieve peace and security, underpinned by international cooperation and the rule of law.
Reagan did not use the term “New World Order” in the same way. His rhetoric was more focused on combating the Soviet Union and promoting American values of freedom and democracy. The term gained significant traction during Bush’s administration due to the geopolitical shifts occurring at that time, including the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the realignment of international relations.
In summary, while George H.W. Bush did not originate the phrase “New World Order,” he certainly gave it significant momentum and visibility in the context of post-Cold War global politics.
… So, the Soviet Union collapses around the time Bush Sr. leaves office, but he seemed to set in place a legacy that 32 years later, we’re still living. What’s interesting about Bill Clinton as a president is that, despite everything, he was rather good in fiscal policy. Remember the “Peace Dividend”? He actually balanced the federal budget. Logically, if the Soviet Union collapsed, we should draw down some military spending and ensure they do too. That would balance the budget, and that’s how it played out for a while. But at some point, Clinton must’ve gotten the memo—the defense contractors can’t go out of business. So, let’s start using foreign policy (and the CIA) to create and embroil conflicts rather than resolve them—making America, for the first time in its history, the baddies and not the saviors.
I was in the thick of it, living in Asia (Japan) during the latter years of the Cold War. I even visited the Soviet Union as part of the French Navy in 1990, in Sevastopol on the Black Sea. The higher-ups in the military were never really about peace; it was about cool equipment, jobs, budgets, and contractors. Contractors need to be paid. Contractors need to profit. How do you make that happen?
The Cold War was stark. Communism versus “freedom.” Everyone could see it. We had absolute clarity on what needed to happen, and we did it. We prevailed. We won. They collapsed. They lost.
That was 32 years ago. Have you ever stopped to wonder what the fuck happened? We went from one big standoff—good versus evil—to perpetual conflict and war all over the world. Dozens of conflicts at any given time. Always have to have them. Always killing. You don’t get these figures like, “Oh, they killed 100,000 today.” No, it’s just a few here, a few there. 100 here, 150 there. But it adds up. Significant numbers are innocent people. Families destroyed, lives destroyed, dreams destroyed. Everything destroyed.
Why? So American and European defense contractors can show a profit. So sophisticated Americans and Europeans with stock portfolios don’t see their investments go down. They don’t care if people die as long as their portfolios stay healthy.
You may need to self-reflect. Are we the bad guys? Are the so-called warmongers—the Republicans, the conservatives, the religious, the Jews—the bad guys? Look deeper. The Jewish Bible and the Christian Bible are filled with “kill them all” rhetoric. Why did God create these people in the first place, just to be killed? But hey, it’s all part of God’s plan, right?
… In 1986, I participated as the Electrical Officer on the USS Reeves during a historic port visit to Qingdao, China—the first by the U.S. Navy in 37 years. This visit was a significant geopolitical event, and our ship hosted Admiral Lyons, who wasn’t just the Commander of the Pacific Fleet. He was the unified Commander-in-Chief of all forces in the Pacific—Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marines. Typically, an admiral fills this role in the Pacific, while an Army general does so in Europe. That’s how the hierarchy works.
Our visit to China was a major diplomatic gesture, and there’s a video that captures the essence of this momentous occasion. It’s a news report from U.S. Navy News, and it provides a rather comprehensive look at what transpired during our stay. You can watch it to get a detailed understanding of the event.
The entire experience was eye-opening and illustrative of the complex interplay between military presence and international diplomacy. The video serves as an excellent resource to understand the nuances of this visit in 1986. The reportage of that is about the first 6 minutes.
The underlying theme of that visit was ostensibly a technology exchange, but in reality, it was a show—a dog-and-pony show for public consumption. We had numerous meetings in preparation for this, determining what technology we were allowed to share with them. Some things were sanctioned for sharing, but: what I shared with a group of Chinese electrical and marine engineers was about the degaussing systems on Navy ships. Sure, it’s classified as confidential, but that’s “legacy classification.” Silly.
So, yes, some confidential information was shared, but nothing of high confidentiality—no top-secret or technical specifications for missile guidance systems or anything like that. It was basically a spectacle. I saw it for what it was and played my part.
I’ll elaborate for clarity. A ship, made of metal and floating in the sea, essentially becomes a magnet over time by the Earth’s magnetic field, acquiring a signature. This signature can be detected by mines, torpedoes, and even air-to-surface missiles. As a defense measure, the ship is internally wrapped with coils powered by electrical controllers to cancel out this signature. It’s low tech. Been around forever.
But here’s the thing: I think back to those Chinese electrical engineers. They were making notes while I had all the drawings out while explaining our particular system. I just suspected that this was all for show. There’s no way these folks didn’t already know what this was all about. So, my assessment of what was going on versus what is portrayed in the media for the average human who doesn’t know what the fuck is going on? It was all a farce.
… You might be interested to know what Chinese society was like in Qingdao, China, during our 1986 port visit. Let me put it this way: USS Reese was stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, and Japan had already become a world economic power by then. We visited South Korea many times, and my first visit there was in 1982. By the later ’80s, it was unbelievable how rapidly South Korea was advancing, modernizing, and industrializing. Japan had become too expensive to manufacture goods for American consumption, so Korea and China were on the horizon.
And we also had Subic Bay Navy Base in the Philippines and made many visits there because the shipyard work was lower quality, but you could get a lot more done in the budget with Filipino workers than with Japanese workers.
… So we tie up in China and went out on the town. The primitiveness of this egalitarian communist society was head-shaking. I mean, you heard the stories at the time; they had this order imposed by totalitarianism, but there was just nothing to go around. No base, no incentives for profits, no self-improvement or determination, no making your own dream come true—nothing like that. “Ants, Bees, and Borg,” is how I’ve long referred to the Chinese. They didn’t even have traffic signals at intersections. Instead, there was a concrete pedestal about a foot high in the center of every intersection with a person in a Mao uniform directing traffic. That’s how primitive and ridiculous it was.
Fast forward to January 2020, when I left the USA to live in Thailand. I flew from San Francisco to Chiang Mai with two stops in China. The first of those stops was that same city of Qingdao that I had visited 34 years prior. We flew in on the approach at night, maybe around 9 PM, and I looked down to see the city lights. The city lights rivaled any American or European city.
Americans do not know or see this sort of rapid advancement in a relatively short period of time anymore, because they have been stagnating and calling in chips for decades. America ended from about the end of World War II to perhaps sometime in the ’80s—the heyday of America. I believe that era is gone forever. Absolutely fucking gone. There is only the status quo, trying to keep it, in all futility. As we can see with Western Europe, despite the culture and rich history, they don’t keep it anymore—they import dirt-scratching savages to destroy it. Americans and Europeans are hell-bent on destroying their own cultures, destroying everything that made them what they are.
For cheap labor and “democratic” bread-&-circuses votes by imported low-IQ parasites.
For me, justice demands that they all lose everything and hit the soup lines. Let’s call it Biblical justice with dispensation that’s not Noah-level justice…
… Let me interject with a brief story about my father, Lothar Nikoley, an 86-year-old German immigrant who’s of sound mind and still works for his clients nearly every day. He set foot on Ellis Island in 1952 along with his family—six brothers and sisters, mom and dad—and they never looked back.
Picture this: a 14-year-old boy from Germany who barely spoke English. Within six years, maybe even less, he had a ’57 Chevy. By his early 20s, he was a jet engine mechanic for the U.S. Air Force. When he left the Air Force, he became a rocket-engine technician for a company called Rocketdyne, which worked on some of the engines for the various Apollo missions.
What do you see today? Sure, there are hard-working immigrants. But there’s a disturbingly high percentage who just come to leech off the system. They get on social programs, grab a “voter card”—not even—while clinging to their own culture and refusing to embrace America.
The same goes for Western Europe. It’s the same damn thing happening over there.
… This is not the case in Asia. I lived for five years in Japan in the 1980s and now I’m coming up on five years living in Thailand. I can tell you that America and Western Europe are the last places I would want to be if I want to watch human advancement and rapid development in progress.
Now it’s time to show you what’s coming up. What I have to show you—that might take a couple of hours if you’re really interested—will give you a “college degree” in cultural politics, geopolitics, history, and fully integrated honesty unlike you may have never seen. Each of the three following sections are accessible. You won’t find them tied up and integrated like this anywhere else on earth.
I promise.
I’ll begin with a chart I fooled around with 11 months ago, and have posted many times, but have alluded to the REALITIES going back far longer than that.
How many Americans or Western Europeans get it? Nearly zero. There are few facts-accounting men in those countries, anymore. Everyone is just calling in chips. Thinking about where the world is going is something other people—like me—do.

I’m going to elaborate on this, and the reason why is the inspiration of this post. The inspiration is an 11,000 word speech by the prime minister of a country with the oldest standing government in Europe. Then I’m going to connect that dot with an interview by the one man who has spoken with every leader and high-level administrator of all relevant countries for 4 decades and pretty clearly knows what the fuck is going on. I’m going to finish off the dot-connecting with something a US Supreme Court justice just revealed, and he did so, I believe because he knows it’s part of the abject death of the West that is on the horizon.
I do this because it’s my forte more than anything else, and the time is ripe for it because the world is reconfiguring rapidly and Westerners aren’t going to like it and there’s a risk that some will just want to burn the whole thing down. I’m not going to claim that I ever had an inkling of how it would all play out, but I’ve understood going on 3 decades that the truth will always out, and that’s what’s fundamentally going on. Because of that one single thing, my near-term predictive powers are pretty well on the record.
