The Illuminati did exist at one point in history. The organization does not exist now, but their agendas are still going strong. Just within the last 100 years, society has changed so much. I don't want to get into detail about it because it will just spark an atheist/"religious" bashing thread. Just compare peoples moral values they had 100 years ago to today. Almost night and day. Of course people will just say it was all coincidence and no one is behind it pulling the strings. It could be, but what if it is not.
I have done research on this topic and know very well what is going on. The problem is the sheeple today just listen to whatever they are told and don't think for themselves. Whether it be from the news media, movies, or even music artists, they influence kids today into a certain way of thinking. Everyone is too lazy to care what really is going on and try to get involved(if in fact they do know what is happening). The rest are brainwashed.
I had a teacher in college who use to work in congress and saw the influence going on. In fact, he hated the conspiracy theories and tried to make his doctrine about disproving them. A few months later, he came to the conclusion that they are real. The evidence is out there, you just got to know where to look. One book I read was called the Naked Capitalist. It was a play on words from the book the Naked Communist. It was a summary of another book called Tragedy and Hope where a man who worked for the special interest groups documented many of the things that were going on from the later 1800's to the late 1900's. It practically told the history of what had been going on and how special interest groups have tried to create a one world government or NWO.
If you really want to know whats going on, read those books. Just note special interest groups like the Trilateral Committee and the CFR are still going strong. They control the politics of the world and what is put on TV. While everyone is caught up in the war between Democrats and Republicans thinking one is better then the other(which they aren't since they are controlled by the same people), much bigger things are going on behind the scenes.
All these movements going on (like gay marriage and gun control) are all being told it is ok and it is needed. Society has become tolerant to say that it is ok now and will even defend it. Next it will be ok for pedophiles to marry. The only thing stopping this from happening is the laws. 50 years ago blacks weren't allowed to drink from the same water fountain. Laws can change easily with the right influence. After that, people will be able to marry goats. It will be discriminatory for someone to not allow someone to marry a goat and you are a goataphobe for not letting them. Ok maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but you see my point. Media is a huge influence in how people think.
I think the furthest it will go is having everyone with a chip inside of them to stop identity theft and make life simpler for everyone. It will start out as a way to keep track of people, and then develop into more convenient ways. First it will be with inmates to make sure we can find them if they escape. Then it will be the elderly since they get lost and need to be kept track of so they can take their meds. Next it will be children because they keep getting kidnapped and we much know where they are. There is good in every idea, but if you don't look at the over all picture, you will not know what the ultimate goal is. This same idea is being used for gun control right now.
The last two paragraphs is just to show you how people have been influenced. You can agree or disagree with them, idc really. Just learn to think for yourselves and stop listening to what is being fed to you.
I may have gone off topic a bit..... Oh well.
