The illuminati is a secret society that is often talked about in a lot of pop culture today. The illuminati were referenced in The Da Vinci Code and National Treasure. The basis behind the secret society is that there is an elite group of people that pretty much run the entire world. Some argue, however, that the society is fictional but I believe that it exists. The evidence behind my decision is overwhelming and I would like to share with you those willing to listen. The most prominent symbolism of the illuminati involves eyes. The eye is supposed to represent the eye of the devil that is watching over the entire world. The eye symbolism can be found everywhere if you just look. CBS’s logo is an eye. The American dollar has the triangle with an eye looking through it. Classical and modern architecture also has a lot of eyes that are included somewhere within the masonry. Ancient texts and languages also speak a lot of the eye of providence. Egyptian history also includes eye imagery. Many pop culture figures can also be associated with the illuminati. The most commonly noted celebrity is Jay-Z. Jay Z is sometimes referred to as illuminati because of his hand symbol. Jay-Z’s music is known to commonly reference the devil and Jay-Z also references himself as ‘hova,’ which alludes to Jehovah. Jay-Z, being a huge pop culture icon, gives him power of the masses with his music and his actions. Pushing the world to a more ‘sinful’ and chaotic state is the goal of the illuminati. Another member of the illuminati is Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga’s demonic appearance can be associated with the devil, which includes covering of the eyes, hand symbols over her eyes, and goat-like costumes. The goat is also sometimes seen as an incarnate of the devil. Lady Gaga is the puppet of the illuminati, who has sold her soul to the devil so that her influence over pop culture is large. My roommate also loves Lady Gaga’s music. I am wary of him. I am deathly afraid of the illuminati and am a firm believer in this. Resist, friends. Fight the power.
I always hear about secret society and don't really know if I believe them but it is still interesting to read about.
ReplyDeletei dont know if i believe in them even tho you gave all those points where you can find it.
ReplyDeleteThose are some interesting modern references to the Illuminati. I never thought of those.
ReplyDeletei love national treasure. i think some of those secret society things are cool
ReplyDeleteFACT: the original illuminati were a group of intellectual / masons in Europe during the dark ages, when education and intellectualism was regarded with suspicion. They were one of the first such groups to allow Jewish members, which is probably part of why there have been so many conspiracy theories about them -- since there always conspiracy theories about Jews.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of friends who buy into or are interested in this conspiracy theory... Personally, I believe there *are* things going on in backrooms that we don't know about. I don't trust the elite, and I believe that something other than "merit" determines who gets really ahead at the upper echelons of power and wealth, but I think this whole Illuminati thing is making it more mystical and mysterious than it probably is. It's more about money, greedy, paternalism, and chronyism (LOOK IT UP IF YOU DON'T KNOW!! :) ) than it is about secret societies and rituals...
Check this clip of Jay-Z speaking on Hot 97 about the conspiracy theories: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lsYKjWwBnU
...All that being said, it's hard to FULLY disprove the conspiracy theories...so those of us who are paranoid will always have our doubts...
