Most people will deny the existence of the Illuminati, but I can attest through thorough and extensive research that the Illuminati is real.
The Illuminati is a secret society that thrives in the underworld, playing the unseen hand behind the scenes of political and global events. It is, of course, a "conspiracy theory", but that doesn't make it any less true. If you look up the Illuminati on wikipedia it'll tell you about the Bavarian Illuminati, a secret society in the late 1700's that died off 9 years after its existence. The fact is that it didn't die off but bound itself into the higher rites of Freemasonry. Freemasonry is a secret society or fraternity that has been around for hundreds of years and is still in existence today. It has 3 mandatory rites of initiation, followed by 29 optional rites. Beyond that there is a 33rd rite that very few Masons ever achieve. A secret society within a secret society, if you will.
Everyone heard of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine and other founding fathers of America. Very rarely is it taught in schools that many of the founding fathers belong to this Freemason fraternity. In like manner schools also fail to teach how the banking system works.
It is through the Banking cartel that the Illuminati derive so much power. Not many people understand how the monetary system works so they often miss the conspiracy at play. For the past 200 years the banking system on Europe has been under the direction of the Rothschild Dynasty. This family is so rich they can feed, clothe and shelter every person on the planet and still have room for the space program. In the United States, the Federal Reserve isn't owned by the government either, but by private industrial bankers; the Rockefeller and Morgan families. Meyer Amschel Rothschild, patriarch of the Rothschild Dynasty was known for saying "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws." Unless you're a financier one couldn't possible grasp the concept that money controls the nation. The ones that control the money therefore control the nation. The truth is that some people are so filthy rich that they can break as many laws as they want without being persecuted.
The Skull & Bones secret society at Yale University was created by William Huntington Russell in the 1800's. The Russell & company enterprise were very wealthy in that time period because they operated the biggest drug smuggling cartel in America. The Skull & Bones society are training grounds for many Illuminati family members, such as the Bush, Rockefeller and Bundy bloodlines.
The media will never acknowledge the existence of the Illuminati because it is controlled by those who wish to keep this cabal a secret. 75% of Unites States media courses through Rockefeller Center and Astor Plaza, New York. Within the past 30 years the media has been consolidated from 50 companies into 5. The wealthier news stations buy out the printing presses and radio stations and thus those who control the media, are able to censor certain stories and push other ones. Have you heard about the recent shooting in the Connecticut school? They're going to push this story so it could instill fear into the population so they will give up their rights to bear guns. It is in the Illuminati agenda to revoke the public's rights to carry weapons so that when the government calls for martial law, people won't be able to defend themselves. The shootings themselves are actually psyops, pulled off by the government and blamed on someone who can hardly speak for themselves. A similar incident occurred in Tasmania Australia a couple years back in the Port Arthur Massacre. It's the CIA and secret service pulling these off on behalf of the Illuminati. They're also intending to start a war in the Middle East.
When politicians declare war they never do the fighting themselves, they always send expendable soldiers to do the fighting for them. This is how the Illuminati kill people, not through direct assault, but they play propaganda to cause people to kill each other.
They run the pharmaceutical companies as well. Where people think they're getting medicine to fight off a virus, the prescription drugs are made to fight symptoms of the disease, but never the disease itself. They say there is no cure for cancer. Well there is and this knowledge has been suppressed because where they treat people with Chemo Therapy, they're making so much money off of cutting the life expectancy of the individual. Do you know what Chemo Therapy does? It's radiation that kills cells; not just cancer cells, all cells. The idea there is to hope you outlive the cancer as this radiation kills both.
