The NWO Genre in Comics with Guest Blogger, Paul Jeter

People are occupied with daily stuff like eating, working, and raising their kids.  The New World Order is above these things.  It is a power above money, politics, and nations.  The advocates of this agenda use secret handshakes, symbols, and derive their power from the fraternal organization, the Freemasons.  This secretive (and rich) power elite group has a global agenda…to control it all.

Comic book themes seem to be featuring this conspiratorial theme more frequently. The “man behind the curtain” – bad guy has quite the appeal.

The evidence of the NWO existence can be found in huge 21st century corporations who are seemingly beyond political enforcement.  It is not hard to imagine 1984’s Big Brother as an extrapolation of the military industrial complex.  Media brainwashing has become obvious and accepted.  Banks have had our balls in the palm of their hands.  Jobs are hard to find and houses are super expensive these days.

If it seems crazy, it’s because that’s exactly what it is.  Think about it.  What would a bored and psycho billionaire megalomaniac obsessed with control, death, and, making a mark on history do in his spare time?

What is it that we want, utopia or dystopia?  We all want a better tomorrow, but how do we do it without loosing individual freedoms?  Is a one-world-government really the best path forward?  This is why the NWO is tied to 2012 and the End Times.  It is difficult to see a future without influence from a centralized group like the Illuminati type.

If you think about it, we are only a step away from The Matrix run by human overlords trading individual humans as currency.  Money and numbers are risky enough.  They desire death, destruction, and war to make more money.  Believing that THEY do not exist is buying into the pandemic Stockholm syndrome.  We are in love with the hand that feeds us.  We trust them as they push us off a cliff.

If this kind of genre excites you, here are some examples of NWO flavored comics, a growing trend in the comic world:

News Media is a new comic coming out soon. The plot shows a group of journalists who intentionally cover up strange truths. I personally do not think anyone could actually rule the world.  Life is too crazy.  But I might be wrong.

Illuminati Rex is a book about using media while not submitting to it.  The comics are funny and ironic takes on the Illuminati and NWO.

The Invisibles is a complicated comic book series about selling and fighting control.  Written by Grant Morrison, the plot follows a strange group of freedom fighters against an invisible overlord.  Some of these themes are shared in Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis.

The Question is a comic book character dating back to the Sixties.  He has no face and is always running around trying to connect-the-dots about superhero related mysteries.

In Watchmen, the classic and amazing graphic novel, the villain has more money than God.  The ultimate conspiracy is revealed by Rorschach, who is treated as a crazy person by his superhero friends.

Perhaps Silver Circle can be included in this genre for the focus on the Federal Reserve and its plan to have total control over the country’s fate. Decide for yourself by reading the graphic novel. 

My inspirational words are seen through my News Media comic and personal life: We have power.  We have the knowledge so we do not need money to be happy.  The sluggish smoky room assholes need money for their power.  Our votes do count.  We can still fight!
