Shadowy figures manipulate seemingly trivial events for sinister purposes. Who are they? The illuminati? Vampires? The lizard people?
 
Ok, we can’t answer that question, so what do they want? World domination? Money? To raise great Cthulhu from his watery tomb?
 
Welcome to the conspiracy theory thread. Come here to discuss the sinister designs of humanities hidden masters, or to just have a laugh at the expense of people deluded enough to believe in conspiracies. I myself am a skeptic who is perversely fascinated by these sorts of theories. I believe in chaos, and in the maxim that one should never attribute to malice what can be more easily attributed to incompetence.
 
Let us begin with the grandaddy of all conspiracy theories, the Kennedy assassination, and then move on to what the fuck ever.

i think the illuminati exist as an idea made simply to corrupt people mind, make them think they are weak and unimportant, and thus control them, they dont exist beyond that.

I’m probably going to offend someone, but here it goes.
 
That’s basically the same principle as religion. People need to think there is someone bigger than themselves because either they want to believe something other than their decisions is what makes their lifes so miserable, or because they can’t handle the fact that there’s no one above them and that lonely sensation becomes too much for them.

if you also want some other theories
 
there is people that believe 2pac and biggie never died, but are hiding.
 
eminem died during his 2007 overdozed and was replaced by an illuminati member who looks like him.
 
record labels own stocks in prisons, so they make violent music to send stupid people to jail.

The Bestia
Our race is secretly being controlled by pharaoh looking “aliens” called Setians. They don’t want us to know that we were once a space faring warmonger race that nearly came close to becoming one with the creator of all, the Grand Architect. And they wiped our minds ever since we blew the hell out of their planet, Earth.
 
They’ve been in hiding, pitting us against eachother by engineering religion, and have been controlling our history ever since we first arrived.

I’ve always had a theory that Car-GPS makers are in cahoots with oil companies to display the most fuel inefficient route possible.

But joking aside I highly doubt that the illumati exists; the reason being is we already do have people and corporations that control our government. You know what they’re called? Special interest groups.

There was actually a group that called themselves the Illuminati founded on May 1st, 1776 by Adam Weishaupt as a splinter off of the Freemasons and for all intents and purposes died in 1785 as the then ruler of Bavaria wasn’t too keen on secret societies and while many present secret societies claim to be descended from them, its pretty much all so much bullshit.
 
Even if they did exist I suspect they’d just be like the Masons, that is to say a bunch of guys getting together to do silly rites in silly outfits then drink beer and talk about how things were so much better back in the old days.
 
The modern image of the Illuminati as a giant world dominating monster of an organization has a lot to do with one of my favorite trilogies, Illuminatus! by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson which while I don’t believe it invented the Illuminati conspiracy did push it into popular culture. The books are satirical in nature, and a great fucking read, seriously, check them out, and not to be taken too seriously. Or possibly they are. I’m not really sure.

Google glass is just a way for the illumaniti to see through everyone’s eyes at all times. Now, they could already do this but it required ancient alien lizard technology that was far too expensive and intrusive.

That’s gotta be my favorite book (or rather three books) of all time. Anything that involves a billionaire anarcho-mystic submarine captain battling an army of underwater zombified Nazis is worth reading.

Don’t forget the contribution of the super intelligent dolphins!
 
That reminds me: Dolphins were the secret architects behind all human suffering, pretty much just for laughs. Yeah… dolphins are dicks.

Social hatred of body/facial hair is perpetuated by razor companies in order to stay in business.
 
You’d be surprised how true that is for a lot of products, especially female-focused beauty products
