I don't think it's critical to believe there's an actual systematic conspiracy at work in order to understand that there's a cultural convergence that has been operative for some time (decades) and that conveniently all works together. IOW, "accident" or compatibility has created the same dynamic as a calculated NWO effort.
The people at the top of the food chain --in a variety of roles and realms -- are interested only in maintaining power, wealth, and unrestricted pleasures. The convergence of their controlling influence is created by the triumph of those values which they all hold dear -- Godless values. Technology has sped up the process, made it far more convenient and efficient to acquire wealth and control people, but the emergence of a One, Dominant, Godless World has been a development of even unconscious forces, aided by Satan, for at least 50 years. It's the natural result of making gods out of man, created goods (machines), and the flesh.
In fact, I think most of it has been unconscious rather than conniving, but the irony to me is that its fruits are the opposite of community and "solidarity." We are in no way -- except in God's Will -- "one (new) world." We are easily as fractured as tribal nations were. I'm not speaking here of the political tribalism characterizing those time periods but the practical and spiritual separation and isolation when societies passively assent to control over their lives, decisions, and values.
