The Illuminati

Illuminati Symbol

    Sometimes we tell ourselves stories to amuse and stimulate the mind. We twist words of well crafted news stories into small hints toward newborn conspiracy theories. And sometimes, very rarely, a conspiracy theory takes off, but one is to always wonder- is it truth or just fiction?

    You've probably heard of the Illuminati- a shady group of popular names that control all media and government. Originally, it was actually a group, but now people question whether or not it still exists. So is it true? Or just a conspiracy? Some argue that the Illuminati are out to get us all, and some argue that it is just a bunch of... silly nonsensical garbage.


   The possible "evidence" to support the Illuminati is little, but still exists. Varying between celebrity deaths and secret plans to control the government, there is a possibility that the Illuminati are real. There have been many suggestions that there exist various famous members like Rhianna, Jay-Z, Beyonce, George Bush, Lady Gaga, Obama, and this by all means is no evidence, minus the fact there exist many symbols in their music or presentations. For example, the song "Rude Boy" by Rhianna is "masonic evidence of the Illuminati", with devil worshiping whispers warped into the song. Also, hundreds of leaders and celebrities have been photographed mimicking the Illuminati symbol (see photo 2), a triangle shape, meant to represent the devil. It has also been mythed that famous rappers Notorious B.I.G and TuPac tried to revolt against the Illuminati, but resulted in their deaths, all covered up by the Illuminati-run media. Michael Jackson had a similar fate when he threatened to expose the Illuminati on his new world tour, or when JFK "disobeyed" them, also resulting in a tragic end. Anyone who either disagrees or attempts to expose the Illuminati "mysteriously" disapear.

   However, there is also a lot of ideas and evidence that oppose the idea that the Illuminati exist. Despite contrary belief, there did actually exist an elitist group called the Illuminati, however they disbanded in 1785. Now the idea lives on that celebrities and powerful leaders still form the Illuminati, despite little evidence to support the idea. As for the so-called symbols in today's music and culture, it could just be all a coincidence.

Whether the Illuminati is just an elaborate hoax in order to waste our time, or an organizations secretly rooted in everything we do, it is still one of many conspiracy theories that dwell in the minds of the curious and bored. It is up to you to decide whether the Illuminati are present in today's society, or nothing but a conspiracy.
