The concept of a new world order appears, on the surface, to involve positive changes, but at its core, it is a conspiracy against the future of nations. This is what Anthony Ralph Epperson reveals in his book, "The New World Order"—a book that will lead the reader to discover the hidden world of secret organizations, Masonic lodges, their concealed symbols, and their followers among regimes, leaders, and thinkers. Perhaps the best phrase reflecting the validity of what these "planners," as the author calls them and as stated in the book, were able to achieve is: "The peoples of the world will surrender their freedom to the 'controllers' because there will be a planned famine, or some other serious event, such as a depression or war."
