Novus Ordo Seclorum: Clearing up a Mistranslation

This Latin phrase, which is found on the American dollar is commonly thought to mean "New World Order". This is a mistranslation and it is commonly used by conspiracy theorists to support the idea that a "One World Government" is coming soon and will eradicate national borders and in the process, our various cultures. The literal translation is: new order of the ages. Now, one might argue that it means the same thing but one should at least argue using accurate information. I hear you laughing out there.

If you are inclined to remain on watch for such things, be on the lookout for the phrase "Novus Ordo Mundi". When you see THAT on the new international currency, you'll know the right wing extremists, survivalists and F. Tupper Saussy were right.
