The New World Order conspiracy theory claims a totalitarian world government will one day rule the Earth. It claims that sovereign nation-states will be eliminated, and the powerful elite will rule the world. Conspiracists usually link the theory to groups like the Illuminati and the Freemasons.
According to the BBC, the New World Order conspiracy theory has been circulating since the 18th century. This theory has, in turn, been connected to many events and issues during recent years, including COVID-19 restrictions. There is no evidence to prove that the Winter Olympics has attempted to create a totalitarian world or spread any message to promote a "new world order."
