Globalism vs. New World Order vs. Christian dispensationalism
First, I'm totally OK with 1990's guy's edits. I did not put those items in; I just moved them around.
We should not lump Christian dispensationalism and millenialism with conspiracy theories.
I think the way out is to distinguish between "globalism", which is a very real political position (perhaps not widely liked at Conservapedia, but nevertheless very real) and "new world order". We should try to recognize the latter as a catch-all term for various conspiracy theories, complete with chemtrails, funny numbers on signs, the illuminati, and so on. This distinction may not be perfect, but I think it's good enough.
