Your New World Order will fall! Humanity will defeat you!
-Alex Jones
***
In the second part of this series we will follow Alex Jones as he travels to the site of the 2006 Bilderberg Group meeting to confront the invitees and talk to Jim Tucker and Daniel Estulin, two individuals who had been investigating and infiltrating the Bilderberg meetings for years. We will further look at Jones’ coverage of a local Texan protest against a major infrastructure project and the way the movie manages to jump from elite meetings and infrastructure projects of the mid-2000s to the subject of Eugenics.
The Bilderberg Meeting is an annual get-together for Atlanticist elites from North America and Western Europe. Bilderberg began in 1954 with a meeting in the Bilderberg hotel in the rural Netherlands. It was created with the purpose to oppose “the growth of anti-Americanism in Western Europe” [1]. The participants represent a very wide array of top leadership; as the official Bilderberg website puts it, “political leaders and experts from industry, finance, labour, academia and the media” [2]. While the meetings are real and do have both political and wider societal relevance due to the background of their participants, Endgame turns Bilderberg into the apex of a nascent global control system. A smart (or less ideologically driven) conspiracy theorist would have recognized that he is looking at merely one node point in a wider network [3] and focused on more central ones like the Council on Foreign Relations or the system of central banks instead.
The reason why the Bilderberg meeting in particular was chosen probably had to do with available sources (Tucker and Estulin) and with the fact that the (apparent) initiator and first chairman of the conference, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, was, for a short period in his youth, a member of the German Schutzstaffel [4]. We cannot expect Jones and his team to not capitalize on such an opportunity to link Western elites to fascism.

The way the Bilderberg topic is treated by Endgame is, again, revelatory as to the motivation and methods of the movie makers. Three points stand out and shall be discussed in some detail.
1. Jones posing as victim while being a bully
The Bilderberg part begins with Jones posing as a victim of government harassment due to being detained at the airport in Ottawa for a couple of hours on the day of the Bilderberg meeting. We also hear that reporters trying to cover the Bilderberg meetings “have been harassed, detained, and even jailed” in the past, yet when Alex Jones gets to the Bilderberg hotel the tables have clearly turned and we can enjoy watching Jones harass the Bilderbergers instead.
- Several dozen supporters of Jones & Co are present while he is intentionally skirting as close to the border of the security perimeter as the (increasingly annoyed) security guards will let him.
- Jones stands at a junction that cars of Bilderberg invitees have to pass, close enough to knock on their car windows (which, at least, he doesn’t), taunting them:
“Yeah, ya crook! Yeah, you’re gonna to go to jail, like Ken Lay!”
“Oh yeah! There’s one right there! Hiiii! Hey, we’re not your property! We’re not your slaves! We’re going to defeat the New World Order!”
It is probably unnecessary to point out the mean childishness that characterizes these scenes.
- When former US ambassador to the U.N., Richard Holbrooke, took a stroll around the hotel where the meeting was held, Jones & Co. spotted him, with Jones yelling through his megaphone: “Holbrooke! We’re not your slaves, Holbrooke! We’re not your slaves!”
According to Jones’ commentary “Holbrooke cackled when I told him that we were not his slaves”, yet all we can see in the film is Holbrooke turning away from Jones and giving him a thumbs-up as he walks away toward the hotel. It is possible that Holbrooke spontaneously chuckled at being confronted out of the blue with absurd statements like those. In that case, Jones is interpreting a normal reaction in the most sinister and confirmatory manner possible.
To sum up, we can say that the “elites” do appear quite subdued in contrast to Jones who behaves in an obnoxious manner and deliberately provokes both security guards and Bilderbergers in hopes of catching a reaction that confirms his prejudices on camera.
Jones got close enough that he was reflected in the car window.
2. Daniel Estulin & spying on Bilderberg
If we believe his own words, Estulin – who looks shadier than any of the “elites” seen so far – has been running what basically amounts to a private intelligence operation to covertly and illegitimately gather information on the Bilderberg meetings with the help of informers on the inside.
Daniel Estulin
Further research reveals that Estulin, who is Jewish [5], claims that his family was kicked out of the Soviet Union (a bizarre concept). He also claims to have good contacts to a number of intelligence agencies. On his “about the author” page on Goodreads we read:
I’m a Russian expatriate who was kicked out of the Soviet Union in 1980. My father was a dissident who fought for freedom of speech who was jailed, tortured by the KGB. Suffered two political deaths. When these people got tired of us they threw us out. We moved to Canada and 12 years ago I came to Spain. My grandfather was a colonel in the KGB and the counter-intelligence in the 1950s, so I am privileged somewhat to get a lot of the information from secret service which are our best sources of information. Not only the KGB people but the MI6 people, the CIA because most of the people who work for the secret service as you probably know are patriots and they love their country and they’re doing it for the good of the nation and they’re the first ones absolutely terrified of the plans of the Bilderbergers. [6]
What I gather from this passage is that Estulin wanted to emphasize both victim status (i.e. moral authority) and access to insider information (i.e. knowledge authority).
To sum up, here we have an individual who a) for some reason cannot look trustworthy in pictures and b) has an indisputable affinity for spookery. What agenda does Estulin have? Is he perhaps working for Israeli intelligence or some other organized force in the covert world opposed to the Bilderberg group?
3. Leaving out all Cold War context & turning security measures into a conspiracy
We hear that Bilderberg used to be a fairly secretive affair that would only rarely be mentioned by the media. This is taken as proof of a cover-up (and the whole media landscape’s complicity) by Jim Tucker and Jones. However, their interpretation hinges upon a low estimation of the Bilderbergers’ ability to maintain secrecy and conveniently ignores the primary Atlanticist and anticommunist purpose of the meetings [6]. The bottom line is that Bilderberg’s first four decades must be seen in a Cold War context – which Alex Jones’ movie is determined to do not. Geopolitical circumstances beyond the Soviet Union’s expiration date are ignored with equal stubbornness.
Consequently, the need for informal coordination among the Western powers, the need for secrecy about the meetings, and security at the meetings are all waved away, which allows Jones and friends to fill the resulting explanations gap with theories of their liking.
One consequence of this mindset is that the very existence of security measures at Bilderberg meetings is framed as illegitimate and tyrannical.
- Estulin makes a big deal out of the fact that a hotel near the 2005 Bilderberg meeting in Munich was partially occupied by CIA men and German intelligence. Would any reasonable person expect no security at such an important meeting?
- Jim Tucker tells an anecdote about how he trespassed into a sensitive security area at a Bilderberg meeting “some years ago” and then ran away from law enforcement, at which point shots were fired. He states, “They were intimidating but they were not really trying to kill me, not when sharpshooters are firing 20 feet above your head.” What would any sensible person expect to happen in such a situation? Naturally, the security staff did not intend to kill him – they just wanted to complete their assignment without incident and to their employer’s satisfaction. This little tale is reminiscent of individuals who deliberately move past the “No trespassing beyond this point” sign at the infamous Area 51, and then make a fuss of security appearing and shooing them away.
- Estulin recounts how the staff working at the meetings is being told that “all the information that is being spoken of during the conferences is under no circumstances allowed to come out” and that they’re further “threatened with not being able to find another job anywhere in the sector if they reveal any information to the press”. How is that in any way sinister or evil (or unusual for a high-class, high-profile catering service)? Turns out our evil Illuminati overlords can only threaten their staff with blacklisting (!), which is perfectly understandable since an employee who runs his mouth (or runs to the press for fame and money) is obviously not cut out for work in that sort of industry!
How Jones & Co think of secrecy is revealed by a statement Jim Tucker makes:
The reason they want secrecy is ‘cause they’re doing evil. Evil is done under the cover of darkness. Good works are done in the sunshine.
Well, good luck coordinating your anti-communist Cold War efforts “in the sunshine”! We can see that these people don’t want to understand that secrecy is often necessary to prevent the enemy from finding out what you’re planning to do and sabotaging it, and to prevent media-induced public pressure from influencing decision processes. Good decisions will not always be popular, even without vested interests arrayed against them.
The most memorable scene is when we see Alex Jones standing in front of the hotel where the Bilderberg meetings are being held, booming “Your New World Order will fall! Humanity will defeat you!” through his megaphone. This is part of a whole speech which ends with the catchy phrase “1776 is the answer to 1984” i.e. the original libertarian vision of the United States’ Founding Fathers as the answer to the totalitarian New World Order. It is here that Jones reveals his talent as a preacher and motivator. Chock-full of pathos, the speech is moving in the same way a patriotic movie or national anthem is. Jones addresses the Bilderberg elites with “The truth of your world government has now been exposed. We know you are ruthless. We know you are evil” and mid-speech reaches an almost spiritual intensity: “I stand before the creator of the universe. And I ask the creator of the universe, as our Founding Fathers did in 1776, to lead, guide, and direct us.”
To sum up, the filmmakers assume that both past and current Western elites had no serious internal or external enemies and hence no justification for even basic security measures at their important meetings.
Overall, the Bilderberg part of the movie did not really add to our understanding and provides mainly entertainment value.
***
The so-called Trans-Texas Corridor was an ambitious infrastructure project in the mid-2000s that was supposed to turn the state of Texas into the main transit hub for a giant network of railroads and highways that would have connected Mexico with the US and Canada.
Jones’ aim is to re-image the local Texan protests against this project into the first stirrings of a rebellion against the New World Order. Texas is hence imagined as the focal point of a struggle between free humanity and the evil control system of the elites. Jones’ own Texan background [7] likely played a role in the decision to focus on this issue.
But even here, nonsense arguments are put forward unnecessarily. Apparently, the creators of Endgame just could not remain objective no matter what subject they turned their attention to. For example, they float the idea that extensive infrastructure connecting Mexico with the US would lead to the United States’ imports from Asia being being channeled through Mexico from that point on, which makes no sense geographically due to longer or similarly long routes.
All taken together though, this is likely the most valid and morally honest part of the whole movie, with its positive depiction of grassroots resistance based on Texan patriotism. It is true that the Trans-Texas Corridor would have led to closer economic ties between the three North American nations had no global financial crisis struck in 2007/2008 and prevented the project from being implemented to this day.
How is all of the above connected to eugenics? The first step is Jones formulating what may be called the “genocide” argument against the State, which begins with another visual sequence of evil (this time a chain from Mao Zedong, to Stalin, to some African dictator and, finally, Adolf Hitler). When imagery of concentration camps appears, Jones starts narrating:
Why don’t we learn from the mistakes of our ancestors? Why does humankind find itself bound in a cycle of bloodshed and enslavement? Predatory Elites have always rationalized their oppression by claiming they are superior and have the divine right to rule, when all they really are is a gaggle of ruthless psychopaths parasitically feeding on the host population until their cancerous movement causes a collapse of the host. There have been thousands of tyrannical governments throughout history and less than ten that can truly be called free. In the 20th century alone, over 150 million people were murdered at the hands of the State. [long list of 20th century genocides and their respective body-counts]
Sadly, there are too many examples of innocent families being exterminated by their governments, on an industrial scale, to name them all. It is a historical fact that the State is the number-one cause of unnatural death. If you take the 150 million people killed by power-mad government in the last century and divide it by 100,000, the number of souls lost would fill the biggest sports stadium, packed with 100,000 screaming fans 1,500 times over. That’s 1,500 sports stadiums, crammed with 100,000 people each, all exterminated. For those who think it can’t happen here – or won’t happen to them – you have been warned. The carnage witnessed in the last 100 years was only the preparatory phase of the New World Order’s master plan.
This festival of broken logic is Jones’ rabidly libertarian attempt to make “the State” appear as an irredeemable entity through an excessive and particularly tasteless use of the “argument from atrocity”.
Saying that “… the State is the number one cause of unnatural death” is not just risible, but opposed to logic on a fairly fundamental level. “The State” is our term for an organized center of power. Is it any surprise that only (or mainly) such entities command powerful military forces and properly control countries? So blaming “the State” for the global death toll mentioned by Jones is akin to blaming firearms for the ca. 300,000 gun-related deaths that occurred in the United States during the 2000s. One could make a much better case that ideology – as the religion of modernity – was the number one cause of unnatural death in the 20th century, since communism and WWII are responsible for over 90 percent of the death toll mentioned by Jones.
Ironically, the horrors of modern warfare were a major argument that H. G. Wells used to promote his vision of global governance. In other words, part of the same evidence – immense death tolls from 20th century conflicts – could be just as well used to argue for the exact opposite. Unlike Jones, Wells was smart enough to understand that “humanity” is not a political entity and hence cannot engage in political competition with states.
Following another, shorter section on China and its alleged relation to the “New World Order”, the movie is finally ready to answer the big dark questions that lie behind the intended “system of total dehumanization” it warns us about.
- Where does the elites’ mindset come from?
- Why do the elites kill masses of people, when no one is resisting them and they already have total control?
- What ideology drives the elite psychopath?
- Since Plato’s time 2,400 years ago, state planners have openly proclaimed their desire to control every detail of the commoner’s life, from breeding programs to mass extermination of undesirables – the dark dream has continued on for millennia.
At the end of this narration, the all-caps word “EUGENICS” appears on the screen (together with the definition of the term given by Sir Francis Galton), and with this, the eugenics-part of Endgame officially starts.
Here, the rhetoric of the movie reaches its grotesque climax, as Endgame invokes an image of absolute and unrestrained evil seeking complete control over man and mercilessly killing for no justifiable reason – the archetypal tyranny, hell-bent on quenching the tiniest flame of human independence.
To logically analyze the hyperbolic, ludicrous statements above would be pointless because we are not dealing with rhetorically-armed logical arguments but with political demonology. With this, the movie finally dropped all pretensions of describing, in however distorted fashion, the objective reality we inhabit and entered a fictional universe, a Manichean Jonesverse.
Before we can wrap this part of the movie up we have to consider the psychological and emotional impact of Endgame’s first ninety minutes, since that will determine how easily the audience will swallow the thick propaganda against eugenics in the last third of the movie.
Jones gives us a captivating and exciting story of global proportions, with a clear “plot” and enemy.
Suddenly, politics is not dull or pointless anymore, but has a clear purpose as an epic tale of Good vs Evil (Humanity vs the New World Order). All postmodern pointlessness and ennui are gone the moment a threat out of a superhero movie appears, and we – us regular Joes – can be the heroes fighting it. It is not difficult to imagine a pair of twenty-somethings with slightly marijuana-affected brains watching that movie on some boring Saturday evening in late 2007 and giving in to the excitement, buying merchandise, recommending the movie (or rather, the experience) to their friends and spreading the meme over the Internet.
What specific message would they spread? That there is an infinitely evil plan for a New World Order afoot and that humanity must stand together, united, against the evils of eugenics!
Are we looking at a very craftily packaged piece of indoctrination, or is Jones merely using the enormous emotional power of anti-eugenicism for his purposes?
As I will argue in the last two parts of this series, the answer is likely “both”.

[3] A comprehensive network-approach is attempted, for example, by longtime Dutch conspiracy researcher Joel van der Reijden: https://www.isgp-studies.com/3. Van der Reijden claims to have spent over 10,000 hours on research, which Jones & Co clearly did not.
[4] It was later found that the prince, who had studied at German universities from 1930 to 1934, had even been a member of the NSDAP from 1933 until 1937 (with one interruption). Yet, this period ended well before the outbreak of the war and before the NS movement acquired its current reputation. Moreover, Prince Bernhard had been working against the Germans from 1940 onwards and developed close ties to British and American intelligence during the war. From the American perspective, the prince was an old acquaintance who could not be suspected of harboring communist sympathies, which is probably what qualified him for the role of nominal leader of the Bilderberg meetings.
[5] Surname analysis reveals that the name “Estulin” is Jewish, given its distribution (with the highest density being found in Israel, see https://forebears.io/surnames/estulin). Geographic origin and physiognomy concur, as does the privilege of emigrating from the Soviet Union.

[6] Tucker himself first heard about the Bilderberg meetings in 1975, the “Year of Intelligence”. If knowledgeable people could find out about this meeting in the mid-70s, the Bilderbergers’ ability to maintain secrecy must not have been very great resp. must have crumbled in the immediate post-Watergate era!

I get the impression Jones is agitating for a communist-lite revolution under the label of “libertarianism”.
I’ve met Alex Jones twice, in and near Austin Texas, back in the mid-2000s, and not just “meeting him” like “shaking his hand”, we hung out together for a few hours. For a goy [lol] constantly railing on about corporations committing slow genocide of humans, and for a guy constantly shilling “health supplements”, he sure did chain-smoke Marlboro reds. This was before he really blimped out. I find it sad that he’s fully 6 years younger than I am, but he now looks, in my assessment, at least 10 years older than I do.
He also asked a real friend of mine (who was closer to Alex) to be a witness in his divorce case (my friend declined).
He was a nice guy in person, but I didn’t really trust him.
If everyone whose worth as a source we have to assess was a former classmate, neighbour, colleague or at least indirect acquaintance, we would actually understand where our sources are coming from.
It’s invaluable to know the mannerisms someone has, or how prone he is to “go with the flow” of a discussion rather than stick to facts. We’d know perfectly well who’s a habitual liar and who’s full of himself, who likes to exaggerate or has paranoid tendencies. We’d have experienced up close the political preferences and biases someone has, and how their perception works, particularly when it comes to conflicts or charged events.
All of this “context” is lacking in the mass media age, allowing types like Alex Jones to gain more credibility than they ever could have in a small town setting.
I enjoyed a debate Adam Green had with InfoWars around 2021. Green lamented that InfoWars had become a bad actor after 9/11, ignoring Zionism.
Ah I think I remember watching this years ago. I was quite moved by Alex Jones once. I thought he was, and actually was, on the right lines (in a broad sense) about some things, which unfortunately may seem quaint now.
It’s actually far worse than what he predicted.
Surveillance, cameras, tech watching you, and culture of videoing. Not being allowed to do things without the right technology permit on you. Face ID to buy something with. Selling this as cool and trendy. They don’t need to put a chip in everyone anymore. The smartphone plays exactly that role and more.
Oh man…Yeah I remember he was always talking about the Trans-Texas Corridor 🙂 Forgot about that.
I don’t have a massive problem with this material, especially this older stuff, as long as we understand what it is and its limitations and technically were it may be incorrect, or were it’s always skewed to make his more user-friendly good us/bad THEM point.
From what I remember when Sandy Hook happened, Jones picked this up and made some comments supportive of the wilder conspiracy end. And it caused a lot of anger among more level-headed dissidents. But later on that was used to take him out unfairly and punish him. Sued for a billion dollars or something ridiculous. No one would have even remembered or cared what he said about Sandy Hook, he was being punished as part of the Trump campaign, and a populist figure.
I actually wonder if Alex Jones helped defeat the Trans-Texas Corridor. What a frigging monstrosity it would have been.
A lot of what Jones is positioning himself against (if one assumes it’s honest), is not strictly a conspiracy by a cabal of elites, although there be some conspiracies along the way. And it is very true these huge global corporations don’t want grassroots interference, they just want to go ahead and don’t want their intentions too thought about by the average person.
But what Alex Jones is actually positioning himself against is an ugly trend towards putting capital first, putting trade and investment and profits above everything else. But out of that comes a great deal of evil.
“ “Your New World Order will fall! Humanity will defeat you”
I respond :
” All of humanity including 1.8 billion people on the Indian Continent? All of humanity in Haiti or near me in the worst parts of the South Side of chicago ? All the Muslim sexual grooming gangs in post industrial England ?
Alex Jones sound like John Lennon in “ Imagine”
maube thus Bilderberger elites sling with Vladimir Putin – the former KGB station chief in East Berlin DDR is mire on our ha White race’s side than these head up their arse conspiracy theory “ Truthers”
Oy Vey
Alex Jones is a sick, criminal carny barker. The cowardly midget Alex has only ever been interested in pushing fear porn/dis-info in order to fatten his bank account, and act as a gatekeeper for jews. The bully twerp belongs in a jail cell.
A very good read so far Dominic. Your focus on the creepy jew Orc Estulin and his ties to the Soviet Union are revealing. Alex Jones has for decades surrounded himself with some really dark, malicious people. Jones’ very recent promoting and defense of, the Tate brothers while Alex knew exactly what they were doing with regard to exploiting women from poor parts of Europe, shows the hypocritical and vicious nature Alex actually possesses. If we think about it, what you are really examining with this series is not just Alex Jones, but rather a network of like-minded people that is coming into focus. Good work, and I look forward to the next part.
Thanks! And you’re right, it’s about more than just Alex Jones and his InfoWars crew. There’s a whole sphere or milieu behind what we might call the conspiracy subculture. My main interest – besides finding the nuggets of truth that can be found in conspiracy lore [“The Truth is out there”] – lies in understanding this milieu from a historical, sociological, political, psychological and even mythological point of view.
