The Illuminati

No.

Daddy Yankee was born from a low class family. It is his hard work that put him on top. Hi is neither of those.

While a fair number of people might want to associate nefarious activity to the poor, mixed up child Demi Lovato, no, she is not and cannot be Illuminati. The Illuminati does not exist, and even if they did, Ms. Lavato has demonstrated a certain level of instability that would, along with her gender, prevent membership. Since the Illuminati does not exist, it is a moot point.

If he was born in Europe at least 250 years ago, then maybe. If not, he's not Illuminati.

No more than you or anyone else.

The Illuminati does not exist as more than a moment in history.

No! 3-14-14 Josh is dating Kennedy Schofield.

There is a man (known as "Big Red" in the prostitution industry) who has claimed to have had sex with him. That same man claims to have had sex with Antonio Banderas and Tom Cruise so I don't know if it's real or not.

We can always fantasize :P

Nope, not in Manila, not in Pasay, not in Quezon City, not in Ligao, not in even in Caloocan. Nowhere in the Philippines is there a single Illuminati member.

Don't take it personally though; there are no Illuminati members anywhere.

The organization does not exist.

NO. The real Illuminati are long dead.

In real life, no one is part of the Illuminati. They broke up in 1785. All modern Illuminati claims are fictional. Not one of the claimed people has ever been proven Illuminati in a court of law.

Some like to pretend otherwise, as it is more fun to pretend the reason you are not successful is that you are opposed by a huge unfightable conspiracy.

No, but the Little Rascals' High Sign is.

Seriously, organizations that were disbanded over 200 years ago don't typically have need of any sort of signage, imagery, or symbolism. Any that may have been known is largely lost to the ages.

In short, no. The Illuminati do not exist, so the "Gaza" sign is not of the Illuminati.

The "Gaza" sign as it appears to be (the fingers spread with the second and third crossed, forming a "W") is a common gang sign for Westcoast or West Side affiliated gangs. As moronic, uneducated, uncultured, and self-serving as such organizations are, it is unlikely that an alleged super-secret, hyper powerful cabal of movers and shakers would have any affiliation with them.

Believe what you want though. Please, just do not spread such tripe on a fact-based site such as WA.

North Face is part of Mount Everest, the steeper- more difficult to climb side. This term also applied to other mountains. I don"t see any connection. It is a sporting goods company, methinks. Take a hike.

From what I gathered, the Illuminati officially disbanded 11 years after the formation in 1776.

No.

No, Enrique Iglesiasis not an Illuminati. The Illuminati is not an organization of entertainers or celebrities.

The Illuminati was an organization (1776-1785) of enlightened intellectuals whose goal was the overthrow of an oppressive monarchy and the control of civil authorities by the Roman Catholic Church. They were very unsuccessful in their endeavor because that monarch successfully destroyed the organization and imprisoned their leadership.

The only Illuminati that exists today is the invention of writers and bloggers who enjoy feeding the imaginations of paranoid and naive individuals.

No. Neither Redfoo (Stefan Gordy) nor SkyBlu (Skyler Gordy) are members of the Illuminati.

No, nor is anyone else.

Yes in fact there are. All TV shows do not show Illuminati symbolism. Well, there might be a few who use symbols that are paranoically connected to symbols a few gullible people believe are associated with the boogeyman association of the Illuminati. Problem is, the Illuminati does not exist.

I'm almost positive Cage is not part of the Illuminati. Definitive Jux is an independent record label owned by El-P. Both El-P and Cage seem to be anti-Illuminati. "Dear Sirs" by El-P is believed to be anti-Illuminati. There is also the song "Dead Disnee", and we all know about Disney. Cage's songs "Muppet Show" also seems to be anti-Illuminati or at least anti-NWO. "Grand Ol' Party Crash" is at least anti-war and anti-Bush. Of course that doesn't mean much these days, with how deceptive they are. However, the most notable reference is in a song by El-P and Cage entitled "Accidents Don't Happen", off the El-P album "Fantastic Damage". The lyric is sung by Cage and is, "Bush got a ouija to talk to Adam Weishaupt". Weishaupt was the founder of the Illuminati in 1776. The only thing that scares me about Cage is his involvement with Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf. I sincerely hope Cage will not fall into the Illuminati agenda.

No.

For the reason why he wrote "Not Afraid," check the related question below.

No, because the Illuminati only exists in the minds of the paranoid and the reality-challenged.

The Illuminati was an organization (1776-1785) of enlightened intellectuals whose goal was the overthrow of the oppressive monarchy controlled by the church in Rome. They were very unsuccessful in their endeavor because that monarch successfully destroyed the organization and imprisoned their leadership.

The Illuminati no longer exist, have not since 1785, so cannot make anyone do anything. Some of the organizations that claim to be the super secret controlling-the-world Illuminati might require new recruits to shave their heads, perhaps to place the super secret organization tattoo on the back of their skulls. How else would any of them otherwise know that someone else is a member of their super secret controlling-the-world organization? Oh, wait, they tell everyone.

Ask yourself, "Why would an ultra-covert organization that is bent on controlling the world and everyone in it tell anything about that organization, its members, or secrets related to joining?" I suggest that anyone who is trying to sell you a membership in such an organization (actually asking for money or just trying to get you to believe) has a hidden agenda, and not the super secret controlling-the-world-type of agenda.

I doubt it, as they were forced to break up around 1785. But some people like to pretend they are still around and that everything is a Illuminati Reptilian Skull and Bones Trilateral Rothchilds Bilderberger Zionist Nazi Mafia CIA NWO conspiracy. It gives them the feeling they are in on something and smarter than everyone else.

Well, in the present tense, no. The Illuminati does not exist.

In the past, it depends on what you mean.

Against Christians as a whole--no, by no means. The founder, Adam Weishaupt, was the professor of cannon law (Church law) at Ingolstadt University. He was a Catholic.

Against Church involvement and influence in government, absolutely. This is what led to their destruction. When they took a shot at a huge part of the Catholic Church's power base, they drew the attention of the Bishop of Nuremburg, the cousin of the Duke of Bavaria, and the people who ordered the disbanding of the order and inquisition of its members.

The 'Illuminati', an organized in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt in Ingolstadt Bavaria. Although the membership rolls were kept secret, eventually around 2000 throughout Europe, some known members were:

Baron Adolph von Knigge

Ferdinand of Brunswick

Franz Xaver von Zwack

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Gottfried Herder

Count Alessandrodi Cagliostro

When Karl Theodore became ruler of Bavaria in 1777 and secret societies were banned by an edict of 1785, including the Illuminati. Weishaupt fled and his documents and correspondence were seized. Van Zwak's premises was searched and all of the groups literature was found. The entire organization disbanded and any whose name had not been uncovered did not want their association to become public.

Any groups claiming to be or named as 'Illuminati' since that time are a product of fiction. A number of novels (fiction) have been written using the name of the organization or a similar sounding one. There are many rumors, theories, and sound bites constantly circling around, but that is all they are. There are people who have a need to believe in secret organizations and conspiracies who keep the stories circulating.

Some like to pretend otherwise, as it is more fun to pretend the reason you are not successful is that you are opposed by a huge un-fightable conspiracy.
