The concept behind it is not unlike religion. Look at what Scientology has done over the years. They've made people believe that there is a hidden truth behind the smoke and mirrors of our world, and you can be enlightened by buying a bunch of overpriced books. The fresh faced preacher on TV Sunday mornings will let you know how you can be part of the enlightened group who lives happy, prosperous lives if you can pay $19.95 for the hardcover copy of his new book. If you can hold off on your happiness for a few months, you'll be able to get it in paperback for half the price.
It's probably too deep for this thread, but it's just how we evolved. Our minds are built to buy into these things for a number of reasons. If you're into that kind of stuff, I'd pick up Daniel Dennett's Breaking the Spell. Phenomenal book on psychology and why people believe certain things.

While I agree with most of what you have said, the part about us evolving into it is sadly WRONG. Humans don't evolve in 400 years they do it in millions, this is NO EVOLUTION it is a habbit formed over a few measly years. This habit can be broken much easier than anything that "evolved" within us.
And as for those who say "oh just sit back have a beer and watch it all happen you can't do anything!" Would you have the same feeling if 5 men broke into your house and wanted to rape your entire family? You know what I think you people probably would, just lie back and "enjoy" taking it in the ass.... because that's what your attitude about this is. Every day of your life you can do SOMETHING. About the NWO, but instead you want to lube up your assholes and get ready for the reaming. It's ok though, everyone gets what they deserve in the end.
