A lot of this isn't really debunkable, but I'll try to go through each claim.
An internal link goes to a page that basically says that the people, not TPTB must create a NWO based not on tyrrany, but
on some sort of "council of elders representing all races and ethnicities who would work solely in the best interests of
humanity." Nothing to debunk, no evidence of the actual claim is presented.
Clearly false. Nobody remembers the Bush years?
The poll I think they're referencing actually shows the percent of people who trust newspapers and TV news "a great deal" or "quite a lot." This number is 23% for both. It does not include those who answered "some," and the question of mistrust was not actually asked.

A later poll that asked about mass media in general showed that 44% trusted "a great deal" or a "fair amount" while 55% trusted "not very much" and "not at all."

Thus, claim 3 is bunk.
Nothing much to debunk. As far as I can tell, the same government that brought in the IMF is in charge, and some opposition candidates are calling for prosecution. This does not mean that Hungary "is considering pursuing prosecution of past prime ministers who enslaved the people with debt."

Not debunkable, this is all conjecture.
No evidence of "mutiny" presented, can't debunk. Here's a (very short) list of notable US military dissenters. All about Iraq, so certainly not recent.

So....the increased tyranny is evidence that tyranny is nearly done for? Ok... At any rate, aside from blogs, the only articles I found say that the DEA was sharing info with NSA and IRS, among others, not the other way around.

The first two examples are parts of states considering secession from their states, not the US. The CA one has some steam, it's unlikely to ever make it via initiative or legislation, though, as SoCal vastly outnumbers them.

The Colorado "movement" appears to have no steam.

The Spanish Catalan secession movement has plenty of steam, and Spain has a hell of a history, so it wouldn't be exactly shocking.

Scotland's secession seems touch and go:

No evidence is presented here that GMO are dangerous. The only claim is that some people don't like them. This is true, sadly mostly due to lots of disinfo from sites like naturalnews.

No debunkable claims here, just conjecture and woo-like statements not supported by any evidence. Yes, legalization has happened, maybe it will be nationwide. Yes, lots and lots and lots of money has been spent in the War on Drugs®. Uruguay (a nation of 13 million) legalizing marijuana is hardly a sign of a coming "global reversal."
My first try at a full debunk, please feel free to add, subtract, and correct.
