Conclusion

Based on my little to no evidence, I will say there is no such thing as the Illuminati.  It was real in the 18th century but there is no evidence that it is still alive today.  I do however feel there is alot of things the government is hiding from us but, I dont think it is one world church worshiping satan, or have is just fothis so called "New World Order."  As for the celebrities, I think that r publicity.  Of course we all want to believe its true so we can blame all the problems on the Illuminati, but we will never know the truth.

Evidence

The illuminati did exist at one point in time but, according to my research there is no hard evidence that proves they are still around today.  According to The Jerimiah Project, John T. Robison, a respected scientist in 1797 wrote a book called Proofs of a Conspiracy in.  In the book John T. Robison claims the creator of The Illuminati, Adam Weishaupt asked him to join his group.  Myron Fagan, and actor, writer, and playwright, recorded his expose on The Illuminati and The Council on Foreign Relations in the late 1960s.

Conspiracy Theories

The Illuminati is a secret society made up of wealthy men, who orchestrated a plan to rule the world.  The members of the Illuminati believed the right way to control was to do so steadily. They are part of big organizations, and hold high positions in various occupations that give them control.  They are said to be  in the government, CEO's of major companies, in the music industry or famous celebrities.  They are the cause of every world event. (Hole).  According to The Skeptic's Ditionary, the Illuminati plans to overthrow all religions and have a one world church that worships satan. The illuminati will kill anyone that comes in the way of their goal.  The Illuminati uses celebrites as their puppets, such as Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Jay-Z etc.  They have them write songs about the illuminati or wear their symbols in photos.  They use these famous celebrites because they know loyal their fans are (The Vigilant Citizen).

The history of the Illuminati

The Illuminati was a secret society in Bavaria.  It was founded by Adam Weishaupt on May 1, 1776.  Illuminati meaning "enlightened".  The group was made up of freethinkers (Barruel and Robison). When Karl Theodor became ruler of Bavaria and banned all secret societies in 1884 (Shermer).  Because of the many conspracy theories, some beleive the Illuminati still exists today.
