My personal theory is that there is no group that holds meetings that identify as such, but that there are a variety of factors which are labeled the
Illuminati.
One of which consists of the people behind the scenes, politically. Military industrial complex people. They have plans and are corrupt. They want to
bring about a one world government to further their wealth and power. I believe there are also a number of one world government supporters that are
there for the right reasons.
The other frequently identified aspect of the Illuminati is in the entertainment industry. This one is a bit weirder. It often seems to feature very
symbolic messages, sometimes images that represent corruption. I'm not talking about stuff from a socially conservative viewpoint, but Miley Cyrus
being sexually provocative in a baby outfit, or many fashion pictures which fetishize death and decay. The occult aspect of this is often mentioned,
usually by Christians. One small bit of hypocrisy is they want to point out that whenever Christianity is mentioned by these people, it is presented
in a mocked or corrupted form, but the Christian conspiracy theorists never make that claim about the occult or pagan practices that are often
featured which are also represented in a dark light. My claim is that their images are often a corruption of everything and are paradigm neutral in
that respect, but I digress.
In addition to social issues they also have lots of gestures. The hand over one eye (which is not an extremely bizarre pose I think), and the ok sign
over one eye (which is extremely odd and cannot be attributed to chance). Speaking of that ok-eye sign, I was watching last seasons Survivor, when I
saw one of the contestants, Jeremy, make that sign at the camera at the end when the screen gets small when they're running credits. I thought, "he's
going to win". He made this sign early in the game, and sure enough, he won. Coincidence? Possibly, he always came across as the likely winner. But
it's weird. It seemed like Louis CK dropped it in his show as well. It pops up in all these weird places.
It could be zeitgeist. Photographers, producers, whoever are probably aware the whole Illuminati thing is popular and look for ways to increase views,
and shocking images and weird hand signs could be part of that. But where did it come from in the first place?
Or there could be something weirder going on. I'm sure you'll get people saying they sold their souls, but that's lazy speculation I think. Where's
the evidence, why this hand sign now and not 50, 100 years ago? What is the point of the hand if you've already sold your soul? Just to indicate you
have? I don't think so. I think the whole issue could involve magick, I'm just not sure how.
