Baha'is believe in a future 'New World Order', but this term first came into use in 1912 or so, thus pre-dating George H.W. Bush (Senior)'s use of the term by 80 years or so. My question is whether the Baha'i concept, which is all about respect, compassion, spiritual answers to economic problems, justice etc. is the light side of the "New World Order" as it is discussed by conspiracy theorists, particularly in the 1990's (in my experience anyways!) Conspiracy theorists generally describe the NWO to mean the centralization of power and wealth on a grand scale, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting dead. Oil and media company mergers are symptoms of this approaching "order", as is the increasing tyranny of our own government (USA).
