There must be a league of free nations, a federation of the world. In this direction several things may be noted: a) There must be a world parliament made up of representatives of the nations, to consider questions of common interest, to frame international laws, and to interpret world justice. ibid.
The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self-created screen ... At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties. John F Hylan, New York City Mayor, 1922
The only possibilities are now world government or death. Bertrand Russell, cited Tom Hudgens, Let’s Abolish War
There are, however, two powerful forces opposed to such a policy: one is religion, the other is nationalism ... A scientific world society cannot be stable unless there is a world government. Bertrand Russell
World Federalists hold before us the vision of a unified mankind living in peace under a New World Order ... The heart of their program – a world under law – is realistic and attainable. U Thant, cited Tom Hudgens, Let’s Abolish War
If there are those who think we are to jump immediately into a New World Order, actuated by complete understanding and brotherly love, they are doomed to disappointment. If we are ever to approach that time, it will be after patient and persistent effort of long duration. The present international situation of mistrust and fear can only be corrected by a formula of equal status, continuously applied, to every phase of international contacts, until the cobwebs of the old order are brushed out of the minds of the people of all lands. Dr Augustus O Thomas, President of World Federation of Education Associations, August 1927, cited International Understanding: Agencies Educating for a New World 1931
It is not new, and it is not order. Franklin D Roosevelt

In the great struggle to evoke a westernised world socialism, contemporary governments must vanish. H G Wells, The New World Order, 1939
Countless people, from maharajas to millionaires, and from pukka sahibs to pretty ladies, will hate the New World Order, be rendered unhappy by frustration of their passions through its advent and will die protesting against it. ibid.
National Socialism will use its own revolution for establishing a New World Order. Adolf Hitler
The creation of an authoritative world order is the ultimate aim toward which we must strive. Winston Churchill, cited George W Blount, Peace Through World Government
The one who cannot see that on Earth a big endeavour is taking place, an important plan, on which realisation we are allowed to collaborate as faithful servants, certainly has to be blind. Winston Churchill, 33rd degree Freemason
Nations must unite in a world government or perish. Charles de Gaulle, cited George W Blount, Peace Through World Government
There are some plain common-sense considerations applicable to all these attempts at world planning. They can be briefly stated: 1) To talk of blueprints for the future or building a world order is, if properly understood, suggestive, but it is also dangerous. Societies grow far more truly than they are built. A constitution for a New World Order is never like a blueprint for a skyscraper. Norman Thomas, What is Our Destiny? 1944
Mankind’s desire for peace can be realised only by the creation of a world government. Albert Einstein, cited George W Blount, Peace Through World Government p30
There is no salvation for civilisation, or even the human race, other than the creation of a world government. Albert Einstein, cited Lawrence Abbott, World Federalism: What? Why? How? p20
In order to achieve the final aim - which is one world, and not two hostile worlds – such a partial world Government must never act as an alliance against the rest of the world. The only real step toward world government is world government itself. Albert Einstein, open letter to United Nations 1947
I have long believed the only way peace can be achieved is through world government. Jawaharal Nehru
World peace is impossible without world government. Mortimer Adler, A New Inquisition
In the first public declaration on the Jewish question since the outbreak of the war, Arthur Greenwood, member without portfolio in the British War Cabinet, assured the Jews of the United States that when victory was achieved an effort would be made to found a New World Order based on the ideals of ‘justice and peace’.

He [President Nixon] spoke of the talks as a beginning, saying nothing more about the prospects for future contacts and merely reiterating the belief he brought to China that both nations share an interest in peace and building a New World Order. The New York Times February 1972
At the old Inter-American Office in the Commerce Building here in Roosevelt's time, as Assistant Secretary of State for Latin American Affairs under President Truman, as chief whip with Adlai Stevenson and Tom Finletter at the founding of the United Nations in San Francisco, Nelson Rockefeller was in the forefront of the struggle to establish not only an American system of political and economic security but a new world order. The New York Times February 1975
US President Bush and Soviet President Gorbachev arrived yesterday on this Mediterranean island for a summit conference beginning today during which both hope to start the search for a New World Order. The New York Times 1st December 1989
If totalitarianism wins this conflict, the world will be ruled by tyrants, and individuals will be slaves. If democracy wins, the nations of the earth will be united in a commonwealth of free peoples, and individuals, wherever found, will be the sovereign units of the New World Order. The Declaration of the Federation of the World, produced by The Congress on World Federation, adopted by some US States 1940s

He [John Foster Dulles] stated directly to me that he had every reason to believe that the Governor [Thomas E Dewey of New York] accepts his point of view and that he is personally convinced that this is the policy that he would promote with great vigor if elected. So it is fair to say that on the first round the Sphinx of Albany has established himself as a prima facie champion of a strong and definite new world order. Ralph W Page, The Philadelphia Bulletin 1944
We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent. America’s foreign policy is now being run by the International Monetary Fund. When the President decides to go to war, he no longer needs a declaration of war from Congress. Paul Warburg, Council on Foreign Relations and architect of Federal Reserve system, Senate 17th February 1950
Today the path of total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by the Congress, the President or the people. Outwardly we have a constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system another body representing another form of government – a bureaucratic elite. William Jenner, Senator 1954
A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers ... The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. Aldous Huxley, Brave New World foreword 1946 edition
