The Illuminati

The Illuminati Conspiracy theory claims a secret society that has been controlling governments, finance, business, science, entertainment, etc, all for one motive, that is world domination and a "new world order."

The Illuminati society was started in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt in Bavaria. It was based off of the Freemasons. The group fought the freemasons for control. Conspiracy theorists claim that the Illuminati started the French revolution.

Over the years the Illuminati have become popular in the media. There are many symbols that have been incorporated as part of the Illuminati, such as the dollar bill. The dollar bill has many symbols that correlate it with the themes and motifs of this society.

 There are many signs in the logos of different companies and formed of media that theoretically could seem like Illuminati symbols, but it seems like conspiracy theorists take things too far. Many things are coincidences and it seems like they just want to prove that the Illuminati are controlling the world.

The truth is the Illuminati were wiped out in the 1700s for the most part. Some may exist but have no significance to the world today.
