You have got to be kidding me. I hate to break your bubble with the sad news, but the Illuminati does not exist. But of course, you won’t believe me because after all it’s “disbelievers” like me that fuel this secret society. Right?

But let me just ask you a question. Would the world’s most powerful and secretive group of our generation’s elites, a group that apparently controls nearly every aspect of life on this planet — from finance and government to religion and culture – allow speculation? Honestly, if this group really does exist, would almost every high school kid know about it? If so, the Illuminati most definitely needs new members.

I’m pretty sure that the world’s elites wouldn’t be known by the average American, nonetheless a good majority of genius high school students, who think they’ve uncovered the world’s largest secret.

Nothing like keeping the world’s most scandalous undisclosed secret than flashing a triangle during the United States’ most watched show. Props to Beyoncé, for getting so many to speculate; more publicity for her, right? After all the triangle she signed most definitely has “nothing” to do with the fact that the “Roc sign” pays homage to her husband’s trademark – who may I add is also in the Illuminati. Add to the “Official Illuminati List” current President Obama, Queen Elizabeth II, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, George W. Bush (glad to know there aren’t any hard feeling or political friction between both presidents) and my personal favorite the Pope.

However, what’s funniest is that those who strongly believe in the world’s most reprehensible conspiracy don’t know the facts, the history.

I’ll give you one thing, the Illuminati once did exist, but as time passed down generation by generation and good tales are spun, their original purpose is completely misunderstood. Existing as a secret society to protect themselves from persecution by the Roman Catholic church, the Illuminati was comprised of the most intelligent and respected scientists philosophers and logical thinkers. One of the original members was Galileo, remember him from history class? Proving that the Earth rotated around the sun, the church held insistence that the sun rotated around the Earth (which it doesn’t). Even though he was right, he was forced to recant and was held under house arrest for many years.

There you have it. Not as fun, or demonic but sorry to say that’s the truth. Yup, the Illuminati was made of scientists, scientists who were persecuted for their theories and breakthroughs – the good guys.

But I guess, it’s never as interesting to hear the truth. So keep on thinking that the Pope, Obama, Kanye and Rihanna hold monthly meetings planning world domination and that you hold the key to the world’s largest secret.

Perhaps Jay Z, the most infamous Illuminati member, stated it best “It may sound a little arrogant, but I just think people can’t handle when somebody else is successful. Something has got be wrong; you gotta be down with some higher power. And I guess when someone else is successful; it makes you feel like maybe you’re a failure. So it can’t be you, it has to be some other force.”
