If I asked you what the ‘Illuminati’ is, you’d probably ignore me. Then I’ll ask you again, and you’ll say something vague as to wave off the question like, “triangles,” or “the government,” and the conversation would end. We’d go about on our nonchalant ways, skipping gleefully like innocent preschoolers who don’t a worry in the world. Okay, you wouldn’t skip around like preschoolers. Actually, you’d probably say something like, “the only thing I know is THE ILLUMINATI IS EVERYWHERE,’ or you’d shape your hand into a triangle, place it over your eye and say, “I am the Illuminati.” Usually I would laugh (and possibly draw a triangle on you paper) but I’ve learned: that’s not what the Illuminati is (and you can’t be the Illuminati, because I …show more content…
Weishaupt joined a masonic lodge to spread the word and in turn the people became entranced with the Order’s work. As more people joined (around sixty people) and rose in rank, the Illuminati started to become more influential. Then, Baron Adolf Franz Friederich Knigge, who was connected with the Masonic, was admitted into the Order, setting the alliance between the Freemasons and the Illuminati in stone. Happy with Knigge’s contributions, Weishaupt allowed him to update the ranking system. He added higher ranks to the Order, making people eager to reach for a better position.[Figure 1] The similarities to the Freemason ranks made the Order more appealing. People were intrigued and joined the …show more content…
One of those theories is that the Illuminati had started the French Revolution and wanted to make a one-world government to start a New World Order. The ‘New World Order’ part of the theory is so close to what it says (‘novus ordo seclorum’ or ‘new order of the ages’) under the pyramid on the Great Seal (which is the eagle and pyramid on the back of the dollar bill) people started to make theories about the triangle being the Illuminati. It isn’t the ‘Illuminati’, it’s actually the Eye of Providence, a symbol that is used to express “the many interventions of Providence in favor of the American cause” (The Great Seal of the United States by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Public Affairs). Don’t let these misconceptions of ancient symbols fool you, conspiracies built on conspiracies are more than likely to be
The Aryan Brotherhood, also known as the AB, is a white supremacist prison gang and an organized crime syndicate in the United States. The government estimates that there are about 300 full members, with about 5,000+ members in and out of prison. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Aryan Brotherhood makes up less than one tenth of the prison population, but it is responsible for about twenty percent of murders in prison (FBI). They are also known for their organized crime activities, such as drug trafficking, extortion, inmate prostitution, and murder-for-hire. Like many gang members, the Aryan Brothers mark themselves with tattoos of symbols such as a Nazi sign, swastikas, and have their gang name (Aryan Brotherhood) tattooed
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the gang makes up less than 0.1% of the prison population, but it is responsible for up to 30% of murders in the federal prison system. With no known founder, the Aryan Brotherhood started in 1967 in San Quentin State Facility. Some of their identifiers are the Shamrock clover leaf, Swastikas, double lightning bolts and the number 666. Unlike the BGF, they have an active working relationship with The Mexican Mafia, therefore making La Nuestra Familia part of the opposing team. Since they are a white supremacist prison gang, they have a hate towards the BGF, Crips and the Bloods.
The Rules of Engagement documentary focused on the strained relationship between the Branch Davidians and the Federal government that ultimately led to the deaths of many people. The infamous showdown in Waco, Texas between the two groups has had many different opinions on who is to blame. The documentary used Federal Bureau of Investigations negotiation tapes, home videos made by the Davidians, portions from Congressional hearings, extensive interviews with the few Davidian survivors, representatives of law enforcement, independent investigators, scholars and scientists. In this paper, I will evaluate how the Branch Davidians physical and sustained separation was the greatest threat to the federal government and how it was not their firearms,
Osama was a fly in a crowded room. Coll recounts when bin-Laden’s name had popped up on numerous occasions in CIA reports or in conversation between ISI officials, but due to the lack of relevance it had on their mission, he was overlooked and swatted away. As the theory of organization represents a theory X method of governing, POSDCORD, Osama had proven to be a theory Y. He led his men with bravado, but was not authoritarian in his ways. Close confidents regarded him as calming, brilliant, and adept figure, who had a way with his words.

These are the qualities not always associated with criminals. This subversion denies the norm, and establishes them as normal people living underground lives. Life in the mafia is not grand, rich or very healthy. It is one of the most dangerous profession (?) that one can enter. It is full of cynicism, betrayal and outright lies.
While authors use symbols in their novels to help convey a message to their readers, people and organizations do the same in society today. Big organizations like the government try to portray their power and military strength, though sometimes they are just trying to portray a false sense of
The Mafia Imagine a world filled with big men with strong accents, walking around in suits with big cigars in their mouths. These men were loyal to their families but were dangerous if ever crossed. Does one thing wrong and you might as well dig your grave. These men thrived on the terrible economic trouble America was going through. These men are a big part of history and still have an effect on us today.
While the history of the Masonic Lodge isn’t very clear cut, it is theorized that it began during the Middle Ages due to the Regius Poem, printed about 1390, making reference to the Masons. The first lodge, however, was formed in 1717 in London when four lodges created the first Great Lodge of England. After this, the Masonic fraternity spread throughout Europe and into the American Colonies with its ideology focused on personal study, self-improvement, and social betterment via individual involvement and philanthropy, named Freemasonry, becoming increasingly popular during Colonial American times. Individuals such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere and Joseph Warren were some of the most famous early Masons and Freemasonry
The Illuminati Adam Weishaupt’s Bavarian Illuminati has mystified and baffled the world since its creation. Many skeptics have claimed that the world is as it is viewed. Plain and simple, people tend to believe what they are told and taught since a young age. Multiple organizations around the world, as well as a multitude of people and a plethora of events, has fueled the Illuminati conspiracy for as long as the group has existed. At the time of the group’s creation, the main purpose of the movement was to search for what they called the “light”, and know the truth.
This war for the mind of the public has been facilitated by the emergence of the mass media such as the television the internet and the video games etc.. Illuminati have a lot of signs or it’s all about signs and secrets in a secret society.

They have so many messages and their messages are everywhere, they deliver them to us by songs, videos,

Therefore, as of this blog post, the Illuminati can possibly still exists. However, it should be noted that this is an assumption on whether or not the Illuminati has a power structure. There are some websites that have talked of the Illuminati power structure, but they fail to provide any reliable source which indicates where they have gotten their information. The analysis done was based on the given information that is widely agreed upon on the
