Too late Mr. Bean. You have been reported to Illuminati Central. Please proceed to the nearest Illuminati re-education center within the next 24 hours. Failure to comply with this directive will result in Plan B.

Allegedly, the Illuminati is a secret society made up of some of the richest and most powerful people from around the world. They hold meetings and run everything that happens in the world, including fixing things like oil prices, peace and stability, media coverage, and things like that.

I think they, or a similar such organization, exists, but that they have nowhere NEAR the influence that History Channel believes them to have. It's probably just a social club.

They had a special on secret societies.

Now Conspiracy Theorists believe, that the Society of the Illuminati, founded in 18th century officially disbanded in 1784. Still exists and controls most of the world's trade and governments for it's own agenda.

Now there is a Steve Jackson Board Game/Collectable Card Game about it.

and a series of Novels about the alleged conspiracy.

So who here believes that secret societies controls our government via having it's members infiltrating throught our politicians?

IG-88E,

Uncle Cecil (of the Straight Dope) recommends this book, The Mythology of the Secret Societies by J.M. Roberts (1972).

I was working on a 'parody theory' of the Illuminati a year or two ago that stated the Illuminati fabricated WWII as a front to increase production and divert resources for their own use, and as a cover for all the new technology (computer chips, radar, jet engines, atomic power, etc) they bought from the aliens, paying for it using the extra nickel, iron, and uranium that 'allegedly' was shipped to the 'frontlines', and supposed war 'casualties' as slave labor/test subjects. This intentionally absurd conspiracy theory also claimed that no more than 10% of all 'alleged' battles and production centers were real; all of them provided enough of a front to look like a real war, while the rest that weren't filmed or had (real) eyewitness testimony were simply numbers on paper.

Of course, that's no more idiotic than the 'real' theories, I just found amusement in playing devil's advocate back then (almost invented my own 'Cult of the Cricket' highschool club to balance out the Christian Fellowship and the Covennant of Wiccan Students). The Illuminati is something people believe in because they find it easier to accept and go through their mentally unstimulating days, than accepting that sometimes in Reality Things are Just Fucked Up. Grow a spine, I say.

Oh wait, that's not a reaction towards Illuminati conspiriators, that's a line from Terminator 2.

And that was concerning time-travelling robots, not the Illuminati. I get those two confused all the time.

Darth Utsanomiko,

You had a Christian Fellowship club and a Covenant of Wiccan Students at your school? Perhaps you might be interested in sharing your thoughts in this thread. http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?t=2460

*A guard calmly walks over and kicks the VR brainwashing helmet off Darth Utsanomiko's head and convulsing body. He then draws a cattle pod and gives him a long shock to the face and then genitals, before strapping him back into the chair and reattaching the brainwashing equipment. "Idiots going to need a couple more weeks" he mutters as he locks the room door behind him*
