The word "Illuminati" means "Enlightened" and this society was officially founded on May 1, 1776 in German Bavaria.
Its founder was the philosopher and theologian Adam Weishaupt, who is also a supporter of the liberal ideas of European enlightenment.
Society "Illuminati", according to the idea of Weishaupt, the first thing was to resist religious prejudice and stupid superstitions in everyday life, also advocating for gender equality and the education of women. As we can see, it was essentially not much different from other similar societies that arose a little later in the 18th century, and was not associated with either aliens, or reptilians, or some "world rulers".
However, over the past two centuries, this group and its perception in society have changed dramatically. Now the Illuminati have found themselves connected with the "World Government" and their goal is to create a single world order of an authoritarian character.
Much of this claim is based on the famous phrase “Novus Ordo Seclorum” written on the back of a US dollar bill. This translates as "New World Order" or "New Order for the Ages."
According to the conspiracy theorists, in order to achieve such a world order and establish a single power over all countries, community members infiltrate government structures, organize murders, control secular and religious societies, and manipulate information in the media.

The work of the Illuminati
The Illuminati, according to conspiracy theorists, are responsible for the assassination of American President John F. Kennedy, the September 11 terrorist attack, large-scale disruptions in the global stock market, etc.
In general, any major conspiracy is not complete without mentioning the Illuminati. Including conspiracies with the participation of aliens, a conspiracy about chemtrails and manipulation of dangerous viruses, which supposedly subjugate human consciousness and create obedient and loyal to the authorities "zombies" from people.
By studying the Bible and its prophecies, conspiracy theorists are sure that there are hints of the Illuminati there too. It is allegedly indicated there that a secret decree will be issued and a world government will be created, which will win the hearts of people with flattery and sweet promises.
And at first everything will be smooth and beautiful, but then this government will show its real colors. This government will be a tough totalitarian force that will abolish both freedom and religion.
Symbolism
While many people who consider themselves sane do not believe in the Illuminati, it is difficult to ignore the many strange things that occur around the world every day and look like the symbolism of the Illuminati.
There is indeed a very strange symbol on the US $ 1 bill - an eye in a triangle at the top of a pyramid. He is interpreted as the "all-seeing Eye" and links are found with both the Illuminati and the Freemasons. In particular, President Franklin Roosevelt, under whom such a sign appeared on the bill, was a Freemason.
Shining rays radiate from the Eye, which supposedly symbolizes its influence on all other sides.
And if you connect the lines of the eyes and the extreme letters on the inscription surrounding the Eye, then another curious symbol will appear - the pentagram - the Star of Baphomet. The same pentagram is seen in the coat of arms with an eagle on the same bill, as well as in many other corporate and government symbols of the United States.
Illuminati in the entertainment industry
Illuminati symbols can be found almost everywhere these days, but most often they come across in the entertainment industry: in films, cartoons, video clips, in the clothes and gestures of singers and actors.
Many singers mention Illuminati symbols in their lyrics, insert them into album art and stage decorations when performing. Many popular hip hop stars like Jay Z, Rihanna, Kanye West, etc. they constantly show the triangle sign with the help of their palms in their performances.
Other popular gestures with celebrities are the eye-focusing gestures in the photos below.
Marvel comics have their own secret Illuminati group that operates as a secret society. The Illuminati are even mentioned in video games, including the Call of Duty series, Street Fighter, Assassin's Creed, Metal Gear, and World of Warcraft.
Illuminati symbols and inscriptions can be seen even in innocuous products such as Disney cartoons, SpongeBob and Tom and Jerry. They also appear in the adult cartoons Family Guy, The Simpsons, and South Park.
So are they real?
Critics mercilessly ridicule people who believe in the Illuminati and write that this is only the lot of "dimwitted" rappers and their fans.
However, why are strange Illuminati gestures and symbols so widespread? Why can they be seen in so many things? Why are they inserted there? Just for fun? Or maybe this is due to something that we do not know anything about yet and is some kind of hidden goal?
The truth is not yet available. But the next time you watch a cartoon, movie or music video, look at the symbolism and maybe you will also notice the symbols of the Illuminati there.
