A period of time ago, I watched this Youtube video about new world order and a massive conspiracy theory, at that time I didn't think the uploader meant to be serious, and so time passed.
Some days ago, I saw several "Illuminati" mentions between friends on their respective walls. Out of curiosity I begun watching them. These videos basically had people "revealing" the so called subliminal messages in songs/movies and media in general, and also other videos in the political system (including one particular video showing that 9/11 was planned by these "Illuminati" community).
My friend then begins to actually discuss this with me, when I gave him my current opinion at the time, he told me I should look it up more, and I'll "believe it too", and this will be my "new obsession". Regardless of what he said, I decided to indeed go look it further, reading some articles and watching more detailed videos, like this one for example.
So, what's the "Illuminati"? in summary they are supposedly a group of satanists forming a secret society who are thought to have gained positions in several areas, media being one of the most influential as they are allegedly "controlling/brainwashing" people by vague methods, subliminal messages and use of symbolism.
Popular videos include people "exposing" their subliminal messages and symbolism in the videos showing repeated patterns of those symbols and subliminal messages. For example, some videos show the word "sex" appearing in several Disney movies and more than one time. Another example is videos of famous singers such as Lady Gaga and Rihanna doing "6"/"the eye of Horus/the all seeing eye" with hand gestures on their video clips, while also mentioning that their lyrics having subliminal messages.
So how much truth is behind this society, and is the "Illuminati" the conspiracy, or the mentions/videos of the Illuminati is the conspiracy by itself?
Discuss.
