Just wait until the "History" Channel or someone like that says that some random micro state that barely ever existed like Neutral Morsenet is actually the Illuminati or something like that. It is really disappointing that we can't charge "sources" such as the "History" Channel with defamation or something like that...
I mean, I'm all for freedom of the press and of speech, but seriously, do you really need to spread THAT much misinformation?

Oh yes. And the Illuminati created 5G to spread the Corona virus... Seriously, there is a lot of incredible stupid theories around the net.
But I think it is more likely they would say all these things about aliens instead of the Illuminati.

It is rather strange Illuminati got all these weird conspiracies around it, it was a tiny Italian group who wanted to make something similar to Freemasons in the late 18th century but their leader screwed up, the organization fell apart and he died poor. So the Illuminati did exist in small number for a few years but they never really acquired much power. I assume someone picked them at random as bad guys in a book to start this off, kinda like people believe the DaVinci code is based in fact.

For that matter is the holy Grail first from an 12th century book who also was just a story and a surprisingly large part of humanity consider it as real now.

In the Illuminati's case I assume it is easy to blame them for people being poor and have no political power. It is more palatable then the alternative.

History channel started out with good intentions, until that Greek guy with the wild hairdo persuaded them to show his Ancient aliens show on it. It went fast downward ever since.
