What is the Illuminati? I was looking at subliminal stuff and came across it? All I know is that it is a conspiracy, that is why I put this in ED.
Supposedly an "enlightened" secret society that is secretly planning to take over the world, computer-chip the entire population and bring Armageddon or something. I forgot how it goes. But dude, seriously, don't even bother researching it. There is so much misinformation/disinformation and fear concerning the Illuminati/New World Order conspiracy it's not even worth the time and you'll be going in circles.
I do believe there may be an Illuminati society, just like their are masons, the Scottish rite, and Skull and Bones but there is nothing evil being planned. I used to believe in conspiracies too, but the truth of the matter is, there is no conspiracy at all. There is no conspiratorial evil in the world, no satanic plot to which we fall prey, there is only human fear, and the bizarre ways that humans try to ward it off. Just live your life man. Life is sweet.
It was a real secret society, that is a fact. History says the group is long gone however. Some people believe that the society didn't die out however, and is still around. That is where the conspiracy comes from. The big thing is that they are usually said to be connected to the New World Order. Which is an actual movement by some people to try to get all governments to merge into a single super government. An idea that is really tempting for people who wish to gain power(as well as socialists). The conspiracy is that it isn't just a political movement , but is all planned out ahead of time by the group who wishes to rule the world.
You should read Masks of the Illuminati by Robert Anton Wilson. It's fiction and isn't really much about the Illuminati, but it has James Joyce and Albert Einstein as detectives and is extremely funny. Wilson has some more factual books on conspiracy theories as well, I highly recommend them if you're interested in the subject.
I was just curious, I am still living life.Quote:

No I am not in the Illuminati.
I also think people are profiting from it, just like the movie 2012. You wouldn't believe how humans capitalize off of fear and misinformation. It's all money.
It is so popular because there really are secret societies, and politicians really are corrupt, and they do some time have agendas. Governments naturally grow larger and larger, and the people in them naturally want to gain more and more power. So you don't need a highly organized group to lead the government in that direction, it will go that way by itself. The conspiracy is basically a what if. What if the stuff really isn't a coincidence, or a natural trend of governments to get larger but a secret group was really working together to do this stuff? And from that you get all the stories.

I didn't hear the word "Illuminati" once in that vid.Quote:

then you didnt watch the video. sorry you didnt have either the patience or the ability to listen. the word illuminati is pretty much synonymous with "tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist" territory. i am not going to waste my time trying to explain what i believe it once was or what it is now.Quote:

The illuminati is a secret organization that involves ritualism, satanism and the occasional human sacrifice. I was curious about it so I found a website that allowed me to join the organization for a low fee of 225 bucks per month. Now I'm an illuminati member and my membership card is coming in the mail. They're also going to mail me pamphlets containing more information about the organization as well as information pertaining to the yearly retreats where the human sacrifices will take place. Admission is 30 bucks at the door. If you're interested in joining so you can find out all the secrets you've ever wanted to know about mankind, our direction, our dna, the TRUE history of mankind and the secrets of the universe.. PM me so I can give you the paypal address to send your 225 bucks to.
He'll bite. There's one born every minute.

That was my induction night into the order. I didn't know the magical phoenix gate of ethereal plasm was weak enough to let others slip in and witness our undertakings. I'll have to have a word with our grandmaster wizard lord of the national chapter and notify him of the weakening gate. Next time, you'll have to pay your 225 bucks like everyone else juroara!Quote:

When a president is elected who do you think gets the most votes?
I can tell you that it's not the most capable president. It's the one that has the most funds to back up his advertising.
I think the game of these people is to bury countries in depth so they can exploit them. They are just like the maffia only this one is on a global scale, maffia organizations seem to be just this process in miniature.
Some people are realizing they are being exploited and show hate to america for it.
These people are being shown on telivision as tho they are "Terrorists" who do everything in their power only to convert you to be a muslim, and all muslims are portrayed as tho they are purely the devil. While in reality the true islam is a pretty decent way to look at life .
for an imaginary group there logo is eveyrwhere in hollywood and in pop music.
http://www.dreamviews.com/f28/post-y...ml#post1394438 Jeff tells the truth. He's a member. Even my one dream from when he was admin indicated this.
Not sure if anyone else has noticed but there have been a few references to the Illuminati in cartoons as of late. GI Joe Renegades (episode 13) and Young Justice (the entire series thus far) specifically.
type Illuminati backwards into your browser and put .com at the end of it. That will tell you everything.
hahaha, funny...Quote:
