Starting to see rumblings of a new conspiracy theory -- UNNWO. A site purporting to be the United Nations New World Order, it isn't run by the UN or promoted by the UN, but conspiracy theorists are latching on to it. I'm digging into registration records to see if I can find more
The intriguing thing about it is that there appears to be, like, two degrees of separation between it and the UN, which does seem to give it some credibility, though those two degrees are... murky, at best.
This tweet is really THE sole piece of actual evidence I've seen generally cited by folks: https://twitter.com/UPU_UN/status/1240994069754654721
I have to confess, I get why it's persuasive. This is the verified UPU Twitter account.
We also have Jayme Illien's acccount, which is NOT verified, and proclaims him the "CEO of the UN New World Order." I don't know why the New World Order has a CEO, but go off, king. https://twitter.com/jaymeillien
So basically, there are two links: Jayme Illien/Illien Global and that one UPU tweet.
Jayme Illien's account is an unverified account that uses his Wikipedia picture -- but it has been active and tweeting about UN related (and Day of Happiness related) things for years now.

Interestingly, Illien Global's website ( https://illienglobal.com/ ) is basically nothing. It links to social media accounts that either don't exist or haven't been updated in years. It has a ton of links, none of which appear to work, at least for me.
Here is the registration information for a number of different sites in the orbit of this conspiracy, UNIDOHappiness, Illien Global, Happinessday, and UNNWO:
By comparison, here is the UN's website registration. You can see some immediate differences.
Again, just as a comparison, here is the UNNWO site using a stock photo (with reverse image search proof) compared to the UN's actual site, which provides descriptive text for accessibility and credits the specific UN photographer who took it.
The choice to use a stock photo is intriguing, because the UN has a publicly available series of images from the International Day of Happiness. Why not use one of those, rather than an easily findable stock image? https://www.flickr.com/photos/un_photo/albums/72157663769873593/
Also, quick update: Jayme Illien's picture is from his former Wikipedia page, which no longer exists. The only mention of him appears to be here, in an article about Deutsche Bank: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBFX
The only citation that seems to mention him by name links to 'Econo Times', mentioning that Illien will be "joining" Bernie Sanders at a conference. No mention in the article that this was a press release put out by Jayme Illien.
Note: Illien is not mentioned at all on the official event page.

Any attempt to dig into Jayme Illien seems to suggest that he is a chronic and almost HILARIOUSLY self-aggrandizing huckster who routinely uses paid newswire press releases to link himself to powerful people/organizations.
He also MIGHT have made up a fake international diplomatic service to use during these newswires? Honestly, at this point, the pages and pages of spin and bullshit are hard to parse. But "Diplomatic Advisors International" is run off what looks like a Wordpress blog, so...
I may as well page @knowledge_fight on this one, since I 100% guarantee the whole UNNWO/Happytalism/Illien saga will be on Alex Jones' site at some point. Hopefully this thread will help the research process a little bit.
