Alex Jones is a radio talk-show host based in Texas who has attracted
a passionate following for his commentaries in which he explains his
belief that a powerful underground one-world government secretly
rules the world. Jones contends that the attacks on the Branch
Davidian compound in Waco, TX, were ordered without provocation by
Janet Reno and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to silence
David Koresh and keep him from spreading his anti-authoritarian
philosophy, and that the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001,
were staged by the government in order to strip American citizens of
their freedoms in the name of security.
Jones has followers and like-minded supporters around the world, and
he and his compatriots have faced arrest and jail terms in order to
spread the word by staging protests and setting up amateur
surveillance operations to monitor the annual meetings of a
Bilderberg Group, a private enclave of important figures in politics,
economics, and world trade whom Jones (among others) is convinced
pull the strings behind the New World Order. Does Jones know
something most people don't, or are he and his listeners oddball
conspiracy buffs who have come to believe in a bogeyman that doesn't
really exist?
Filmmakers Luke Meyer and Andrew Neel allow Jones and a handful of
his supporters to speak for themselves in the documentary NEW WORLD
ORDER, which chronicles their ongoing battle against a movement most
people don't think is happening.
