So what's the deal with all these secret cults (Freemasons, Ulluminati, etc.)?

I heard that these guys were around since the Crusades or something and that there are secret markings on American 1$ bills. I also heard that these guys are supposed to be satanists and that many of the world's most powerful men are/were members or are affiliated with them, and that a major enemy of these weirdoes is the Catholic Church (especially that pope that just died, the one whose name I can't remember. Plus I heard that when somebody tried to assassinate him in the 80's that "somebody" was working for the Illuminati). And I also heard (yeah, I got all this from TV, lol) that they're trying to make a new world order world government thingy that will involve removing the individual independent governments of all the world's countries. So just what's the deal with these guys? What's going on?

I believe there is a conspiracy thread AKA playpen to keep certain posters entertained slash segregated.

Send him down to the pit VVD.

a few motnhs ao i watched an indepth documentary on ther history channel on those secret sects, and who were memebers today. and it showed that Bush tony blair and a few wotld leaders have ties to thse types of organizations

that is true.

I don't know, I can't help but laugh at the concepts of secret cults sometimes. The operative word is "secret" yet every man, his dog, and his dogs fleas knows about them, what they are, and what they are planning.

I mean, you saw it on TV? Where is the secret in that? And remember, satanists doesn't necessarily mean worshipping the devil - that's often a misconception.

It does make me chuckle.

"Next on Sky One: The things the government don't want you to know!"

Haha, yes of course.

My dad was a freemason but he stopped attending their meetings because "It's like going to the pictures to see the same film every night" and "They have a vote to see what they'll vote for". Sounds like a load of pish to me. Best to let them just get on with it.

I would like to start a cult. 😐

Another thread associating groups like the Freemasons to fabricated or 'secret' groups like the Illuminati? This is getting a little old.

However, it does provide Deano and his ilke with something to drool over.

Sounds like any bureaucracy to me...

Chairman - So, all in favor of taking over the world....

Cultists - Wait! We need to vote whether we can take that vote yet!

Chariman - Ok, all in favor of taking a vote to decide whether we shall vote to see if we are in favor of taking over the world....

Cultist - But sir, the proper paper work hasn't been filled in yet! It has to be done in triplicate and submitted to the Department of World Domination and Kittens at least three working weeks before any vote can be considered!

Chairman - God damn it! Does anyone have the forms??!!

Cultist - Forms are only available on a Monday before 10am from the Office of Forms and Obsticles, and only with written authorisation from....

It never ends, and that's why the cults will never take over the world.

There is a lot of discussion at the meetings which have no purpose but to create a feeling of importance but there is an up side, Economic success and social status!

Once again, just a post to a link, and of course it's rense.com. However I did find their disclaimer kind of interesting.

Disclaimer and Fair Use

The idea of a free press in America is one that we hold in the highest regard. We believe in bringing our site visitors and program listeners the widest possible array of information that comes to our attention. We have great trust and respect for the American people, and our worldwide audience, and believe them to be fully-capable of making their own decisions and discerning their own realities.

Among the thousands of articles posted here for your consideration, there will doubtless be some that you find useless, and possibly offensive, but we believe you will be perceptive enough to realize that even the stories you disagree with have some value in terms of promoting your own further self-definition and insight. Our site is a smorgasbord of material...take what you wish and click or scroll right past that which doesn't interest you.

We suggest you don't make 'assumptions' about our official position on issues that are discussed here. That is not what this site is about. We believe it to be unwise to sweep controversy under the carpet. We also firmly believe people should not only read material which they agree with.

We are not going to censor the news and information here. That is for you to do.

People 'assumed' the Federal Government would never conduct biochemical experiments on the general populace. But it did, by the score. People 'assumed' the world was once flat.

I also looked behind the journalism of Greg Szymanski (author of the article deano put the link up for) and this man has never footnoted any information or let his readers know where this information is available. If he is actually getting it from somewhere (instead of making it up) why wouldn't he back up his claims and stories?

I think this area is a little touch and go.. I would believe that alot of the govenments have special meatings to talk open handly about things.

I watched the illuminati doc.. I was half way towards believeing most of it "could" be true... Then they tried to convince me they were possesed.. And in the rite of joinning, your body gets taken over by evil spirits..

A that point I realised why the govenments don't bother to keep these people under wraps..
