Hate to pee on people's chips as it were however, 666 is not the symbol of the "beast" it's actually 616 something anyone with the scantiest knowledge of esoteric traditions could tell you. It also refers to the emperor Caligula as does the whole of the book of Revelations which is about the fall of the Roman Empire and nothing else save that.
Funny isn't it? inside 40 years the Illuminati have gone from the people who brought you, the rule of the people, or at least the concept of that, with the French and American revolutions, the emancipation of women and universal suffrage, religious tolerance of all beliefs on an individual basis. Even stranger isn't it that, the casting of the Illuminati as the "baddies" has coincided with the PTB reigning in just about every freedom you can think of and the gradual erosion of right after right in the, so called, free world?
I don't normally become involved in these threads on this forum however, when I see the ignorance spouted by people who have fooled by the reactionary forces that rule this world there are times one feels one should at least, attempt to redress some of the balance and stand up and be counted.
By all means, if you are bigoted, misogynistic, intolerant of anyone's beliefs save your own, carry on believing the the current twoddle being touted by reactionary agents about the Illuminati. The "truth", if there is anything genuinely one can name a such, is that, the Illuminati are mostly wondering, right now, how much worse this world can be. Oh yes, there will always be those who dress themselves up as "Illuminated", they will have their little clubs, they will play with the symbols they believe are "key to being a member" that doesn't mean they are any more actually "Illuminated" than any who professes to be christian, yet believe in the death penalty.
I would suggest people go and read Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, or watch any of the TV or film versions and then work out why he is considered to be "Illuminati" and what the underlying sub plots are. Illuminati guide don't dictate, Illuminati suggest, not demand, Illuminati suspect, not know, Illuminati believe nothing, yet accept everything.
All I would say is this, many of the attacks on the "Illuminati, stem from from people who genuinely think that, you should have no right to vote and need to be herded like sheep. If you truly believe that, then at least be open about it and quit hiding behind smoke and mirrors.

And how, exactly, are you qualified to judge others, incl. entertainers, what is "moral" and what is not?
You are aware it's one of the always recurring traits of hyper-religious people to point the finger at others and preach how THEIR morale is the superior one?
And..by the way, moral is more often than not in the eye of the beholder. What you and many religious, mostly Americans, see as "immoral", such as scantily clad entertainers etc. for many other people can hardly evoke a laugh. So..it's "morale corruption" if you see a dancer in short pants jumping around? SUCH a horrible thing they must be of the devil because you're so offended by it? Obviously, we have total different ideas what "moral corruption" is.

Can you give me the co-ordinates to the Facts Strait? Where does it lie? Is it in the USA near Cape Cod?
Nice response. How childish. "I know you are but what am I?" Are we going to play that game now?

That's not it at all. It has everything to do with the fact that they are praising the Rockafeller family.
Remember, this is all about greed, which you can follow right back to certain very wealthy bloodlines.

Dude the Floyd symbol is a prism .... not an illuminati symbol. Also not all popular music or rock stars are part of a conspiracy. Indeed the only conspiracy I see in modern music, is the conspiracy to let mediocre talents shine. Gone are the days of bands like the Queen, the Beatles etc.
