Illuminati? wtf!

[Razor!]

I've heard this incredably strange conspiracy theory about a secret society named Illuminati. Apparantly they're a group that wants to kill most of the world so that there will be only one government and that by doing this it will better the human race lol.
Also, apparantly the illumati symbol (a pyramid and an eye) is on amercian money to symbolise that this group are supposadly omnipresent and in control lol.
what i find creepy is that many people think that illuminati are in control of music. what i find disturbing is that lady gaga, jay z, beyonce, rihanna, eminem, little boots and several other artists use the illuminati symbol in their videos and lyrics and album covers. According to the theory, they and the rest of illuminati killed michael jackson and the rapper 2pac for speaking against them.

they are also rumoured to be responsable for all terrorist attacks and the assassination of JFK.

Dont get me wrong lol i don't really believe this. I was just curious as to if anyone knows why this rumour is so famous and why all these singers use illuminati symbolism and sometimes satanic symbolism. The most blatant symbolism comes from little boots and jay z. just wondering what all this shit is about.

thanks for your time. hope someone can explain this to me.

I've heard the rumors before. It is really just a variation on the old idea that there are secret societies and groups of very poiwerful people that are controlling the entire world through shadow governments. I don't beleive it, but there are an absurd number of variations on this tale. This one has some more legs than others because there was (and maybe still is) a secret fraternity with that name and many of the most famous people in western history were members at one time.

And alien reptilians live underground in a hollow earth controlling everything. They just made me smoke something.

lol i wasn't saying i believed it. I was just curious as so many people seem to believe it and so many celebrities use satanic illuminati imagery (ie rihanna, jay-z, beyonce, etc)

Jay Z is actually a grandmaster and descendant of Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

and Rihanna is actually a demon child sent here to destroy us!

What Satanic imagery do Jay-Z and Rhianna use? Perhaps you got them confused with Deicide or something since I know you listen to both??? Just a thought.

[CT]

Yeah what's satanic bout bitches and hos?

The only symbols I have ever seen them use is the pyramid and the Eye of Horus, which have already been mentioned and its really not all that interesting. Yes, the conspiracy theorists love it, but they aren't satanic symbols. Hell, the Eye of Horus is an Egyptian protection symbol.

But since I don't pay that much attention to either of them, I guess they could have slipped some satanic imagery in there when I wasn't looking.....

You know that Satan, He's a sneaky one!

[Razor!]

yeah the imagery is usually the triangle with the eye in it which is supposed to be a freemason/illumianti symbol. but i think you guys are right that its a bunch of bullshit.
i will admit that when i first read about it, it scared me as i am a bit gullable lol. in particular, "walking on air" by some singer named Kerli freaked me out lol.
But yeah i think that celelbs probably do it just to cause controversy.
thanks for replies.
i never really heard of this shit before as i don't like rihannas music and have only just got into Jay-Z's music lol.
