Why Is The Illuminati A Not So Secret Society?
The Illuminati, many people have heard this name at one point, it is a not so secret society where they are, according to many conspiracy theorists, controlling the world and government. The members of this organization are supposedly A-list celebrities such as Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Justin Bieber. But there is proof this conspiracy theory is, well just, a theory. With the internet around there have been so many “proof” that the Illuminati is still out there, but history says otherwise. The Illuminati of today is nonexistent, even though people believe that the Illuminati is controlled by the entertainment business, the Illuminati is not active today because it disbanded in the 1700’s and was brought back by false information.

    The new Weimer Republic lacked support from to run a proper democracy, they relied heavily on the Reichswehr and the Freikorps. Although the Reichswehr fought against the communists, they were not loyal to the democratic republic. They believed that they were “Stabbed in the back”, when Ebert’s government (November Criminals) signed the Treaty of Versailles. The population did not recognise the fact that they would not have lasted the end of the war without being entirely crushed. The Reichswehr supported the right, so during the beer hall putsch they refused to defend the new government, they stated “Reichswehr does not fire on Reichswehr. The new government was in between the left and right, however after the war the working class (the majority of the population) tended to support the two extremes, conservative and communist. The new government forced a new constitution to be drawn up, this included article 48- which could suspend the fundamental rights of the citizens if public order and security were seriously disturbed. The new government was due to the treaty of Versailles and the revolution.…

    When you’re not living right you’re giving Christ a “black eye.” Hip Hop music is now growing in leaps and bounds within the civilized world as well as worldwide. Its influence has spread from the civilized world towards the eastern world. Popular artist such as Lil’ Wayne, Jim Jones, and Jay Z can be considered icons in the hip hop industry. They have recently been associated with what is known as a “secret society” or “occult,” revealed to many as the “illuminati.” This word “occult” by standard definition means “hidden from view” or “secret.” So, for example if someone is hiding secrets from you, he or she can be said to have “occult knowledge”. Back during the twelfth century, there was a cabal that consisted of nine men who were known as the Knights Templar. This “secret society” became extremely wealthy due to their protection services which were used by Kings and Popes. They held unusual rituals to initiate new members into their organization, which comprised of blood sacrifices, sodomy, and one that even promised resurrecting a comrade who died during battle. To this day, there are organizations that claim to be…

    Everyone has heard of the notorious Al Capone. Gang leader from Chicago who is responsible for many murders. What some may not know is that he was also a part of a much larger organization known as The Mafia. Defined by Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary as a “secret criminal society” the Mafia controls all organized crime in a particular area. They knew how to get what they wanted without getting caught and were not afraid of anything or anyone. Although the Mafia is still around today their prime years were from the 1920’s to the 1970’s. Beginning in the late 19th century organized crime rose in popularity among American people. The Mafia and its following depended on family ties, secrecy, and loyalty as they participated…

    One of the best examples I know of would be the subliminal messages hid in today’s music industry. Most of these messages are found within older rock and rap music. In rap music today you often hear the topics of money and drugs. When younger adults and young teens hear this constantly on the radio it influences them to do the same. In illuminati the influence is to sell your soul to the devil. By selling your soul to the devil you can have all the money, fame, and power that you want. Most celebrities and singers achieve their million dollar status this way. The music videos produced also provides many sex symbols throughout the video persuading the audience. One of my “used to be” favorite artists Beyoncé is big in the music industry thanks to the illuminati.…

    She has come to realize organizations of such members today are involved in remunerative businesses then back in the 1930 's and 1950 's. It seems as time has passed; these criminals are more apt to engage in more serious criminal activity, such as sex slavery, drugs, home invasions, arms dealing, and various other heinous crimes (Mallory, 2007). Unfortunately, this author believes these types of organizations will always be one step ahead of the law because of the secrecy; one can say honor or loyalty among such organizations will continue to hinder…

    The Night of the Long Knives

    The Night of the Long Knives, in June 1934, saw the wiping out of the SA's leadership and others who had angered Hitler in the recent past in Nazi Germany. After this date, the SS lead by Heinrich Himmler was to become far more powerful in Nazi Germany. For all the power the Enabling Act gave Hitler, he still felt threatened by some in the Nazi Party. He was also worried that the regular army had not given an oath of allegiance. Hitler knew that the army hierarchy held him in disdain as he was 'only ' a corporal in their eyes. More so; some of the important would not support Hitler and others would not support Hitler while these people remained. Some SA members were also keen on the original ideas of Nazis- A National Socialist Revolution. They wanted the rich landowners and businessman to be swept away or taken over. Gregor Strasser was the main believer in this and, to fuel Hitler’s rage, had a lot of supporters. Ernest Roehm, leader of SA, also clashed with Hitler. He wanted his brown-shirts to replace The German Army. Hitler got his ‘buddies’ to compile a list of such disloyal men. The SS, thus, arrested dozens of SA men. Many were shot dead, others were sent to concentration camps, never to be seen again. Roehm was arrested and was shot dead. Strasser was shot dead. Unknown to others, Hitler also takes the opportunity to annihilate Von Scheicher, the ex-chancellor. Thus, over 1000 opponents were murdered. Hitler thus became the President, when the ex-President ‘died’. The Night of the Long Knives not only removed the SA leaders but also got Hitler the army's oath that he so needed. By the summer of 1934, the SA's numbers had swollen to 2 million men. They…

    I find the religion in the Popular Culture of the greatest interest to me. Popular culture according to one definition reaches a larger audience. When popular culture uses the images of religion to portray a message I see the message as more of a counterfeit intended to deceive the world and ultimately take the place of God. Subliminal messages our powerful and that is how I see religion when it is used in popular culture. I have much talk on-line about several famous celebrities being associated with the " Illuminati".
