Yes. The organization usually referred to as "The Illuminati" was called "The Order of the Illuminati" and was founded on May 1 1776 by Adam Weishaupt. The organization was heavily modeled on Freemasonry and in fact drew several of its members from Masonic Lodges. The group was outlawed (along with all "secret societies") in 1784 by the ruler of Bavaria, one Karl Theodore. The organization ultimately folded in 1785.
These historical facts however have not prevented conspiracy theorists from proposing that the order survives to this day. Nevertheless, the "Illuminati" were in fact real.
There is *no* hard evidence of their existence since 1785. Conspiracy buffs in recent years have adopted a fictional book's claims the Illuminati still exist, as being real. There is no actual evidence of this. They will claim Masonic imagery as "Illuminati", even though the real Illuminati was not a Masonic organization. Since the Masons actually exist, this allows them to pretend the Illuminati do too. Recently they have decided that the "Okay" gesture is Illuminati, and have taken to posting images of celebrities making the "okay" gesture as proof that the celebrities are Illuminati. I just made the gesture myself, so when do I get my membership package?
No matter how many web pages they make, and no matter how many YouTube shorts with ominous music they make, the CT's can't get past the simple fact that there is *zero* evidence of the Illuminati currently existing. No one has been convicted in a court of law as being Illuminati. Claiming someone, especially a celeb, is part of a criminal conspiracy is a risky thing to do without an unlimited legal budget.
The real name for the organization Illuminati is precisely that, the Illuminati.
Ariana Grande is not a member of the Illuminati. The Illuminati is not real.
Illuminati are not real . It is all fiction .
No.
The Illuminati do not exist in real life. The Lights are out!
Yes, by reality. Satanists are real; the Illuminati does not exist.
The Illuminati, the *real* Illuminati, broke up in 1785. I suspect they have completed decaying, so I would have to guess, "not a lot"!
No one is Illuminati. They are not real and do not exist. They were made up for a good story.
No. The (real) Illuminati broke up around 1785. The fictional Illuminati, of course, can control nothing.
It is rumored that Jay Z is in the Illuminati. However, no one knows if the Illuminati is real or not .
No. The real Illuminati broke up around 1785. The imaginary Illuminati are all that is left, and since it is impossible to join an imaginary group, Stryper can't be part of the Illuminati.
Illuminati is very secret organisation. Illuminati have killed millions.
