A Plot To Elevate The Illuminati?

Conspiracy theories in the US can be traced back hundreds of years, according to Dr. Dickey. The idea that there were secret saboteur foreign agents and cover-ups, such as the JFK assassination, was prevalent from the very birth of democracy. Followers sent fake letters to magazines, attributing cover-ups and conspiracy theories, such as the JFK assassination, to a secret elite organization called the Illuminati. The Illuminati are the supposed overlords controlling the world’s affairs, operating secretly as they seek to.

The most famous conspiracy theories were authored by physicist John Robison in 1797, who accused the Illuminati of infiltrating the Freemasons, and Abbe Augustin Barruel, whose 1797 history of the Illuminati is explored. The modern interpretation of Illuminati conspiracy theories has expanded to encompass a shadowy cabal of villains called the “Illuminati”, an offshoot of the Freemasons, aiming to destroy the world.

The existence of a secret society known as the Illuminati remains one of the most enduring conspiracy theories of modern times. Illuminati signs and symbols are everywhere, even in Beyonce performances. The designation “Illuminati” was used from the 15th century, assumed by or applied to various groups of persons who claimed to be unusually powerful.

Conspiration theories have always served as dark counter programming to the US government, from the Salem witch trials to fears of the Illuminati, the Red Scare, and QAnon. A Bavarian professor created a group that would be at the center of two centuries of conspiracy theories.
