www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Be3pFg0zkAnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I wish people would actually research the illuminati before passing it off as some tyrants who are satan-worshiping-lizard-alien-demons that sprouted from the center of the Earth. The Illuminati aren't as bad as you make them out to be.
Basically how it went down throughout history: people didn't like the fact that these guys were smarter than all the other ******** who lived during the age of enlightenment. To escape the ridicule that dumb ******** brought, the enlightened ones made their group-- The Illuminati-- which literally translates to "the enlightened ones". The dumb ******** got so butthurt over the "shroud of secrecy" that they began calling them Satan-worshippers, tyrants, this that and the other. Thus conspiracies were born.
Please watch the video above, it won't bore you and it's pretty ******** educational.
