The Enlightened Ones: Who are the Illuminati? Do they really control the world? And how do you join?

This is more of a history lesson on what caused modern people to start creating these myths - this is not an Alex Jones type of post. I hope that is evident.

[Nikas777]

I don't buy the Freemasons rule the world to spread evil or spread anything kind of conspiracy theory. This article was meant to explain why such theories came to be.

This line is kind of funny: I don’t know. There’s nothing particularly un-Conservative about your post, yet there’s nothing particularly Conservative about it, either.

Here I thought conformity was a left wing socialist/marxist trait - not a conservative one! Who knew?! :)

I think you’re a troll and dishonest.

Your modus operandi is to post garbage about “illuminati” or UFOs or about “demonic” “black-eyed kids” or some other crap hoping that a Freeper will post something stupid or ignorant on the topic.

One of your threads was trying to get Freepers to admit they had bomb shelters.

Then, you probably go back to DU or whatever cesspool in which you make your regular home and mock Free Republic based on your own threads and the posts responding thereto.

If I were the Admin Moderator, you would be banned as a troll based your postings.

You yourself claim that you have no interest in politics.

There are many places on the Internet where whackjobs can circle-jerk over “illuminati” or shape-shifting reptiles or whatever.

So what the hell are you doing on Free Republic? The answer is, you are a troll.

[Nikas777]

That’s OK if you think I am a troll. I think you are a kook.

I would ban you for sexually inappropriate language and imagery.

I have a friend whose family where converso’s and found themselves in Mexico.

Through the centuries the family had these “weird” traditions that were passed to them by their parents.

It wasn't until my friend was to marry a Jewish man and she decided to convert Catholic to Jew that her mother told her the story. She now knows why her mother had these “weird” traditions.

Joke time(from my friend)
“I use to be Catholic and have fake Jewelry and real orgasms.

“Now, I am Jewish and have real Jewelry and fake orgasms.”

I just came back from Build-A-Burgers or actually “In and Out”.

You gotta look for the sarcasm symbol sometimes “/S” and other times it is just assumed.

You will find the rythm of this place.

For some real fun, join in on one of those “closed” Mormon posts. I don’t understand why they post a closed thread. Guess their faith isn’t strong enough to support what comes at them.

[Vendome]

Is that Jim Thompson?

[Vendome]

NOt the picture. Everyone knows she is Ms. Illuminati 2009

[Tijeras_Slim]

There’s a considerable population of cryptojews in New Mexico as well. An interesting subject.

ROTFLMAO

See? Now you have been officially hazed, called a NooB and Troll several times.

Look forward to your next post.

[Vendome]

LOL I shudder when I think of the Mods.

[Nikas777]

I thought a troll was someone who started a fight and the guy that stared the fight called me a troll. I found that funny.

And I thought they were short, hairy creatures living under a bridge. Their leader is SirJohnBarley who appears to be in his third stage.

[Young Werther]

He's in the background and not Illuminated! His alter ego is

The Shadow!

Well Noob! Not a bad post but I have to agree with many that if there is an all controlling force of humans in the world they sure stink at the job. However, the razor comes into play here somewhere. If you look at some very odd international ties such as who supplied most of the gunpowder to both sides in WW1 you do have to ask yourself some serious questions about is this all a game so someone can make big $$$. I believe in some small way and some small cases there is a plot or a conspiracy to enrich some on the misery of others. <p. When it comes to the Illuminates I think there was a movement many years ago to resist the all powerful church and it's teachings. Did that survive? I certainly do not know. The Knights Templar existed once; do they exist today? I do not know. One thing I do know is that humans have to have a higher force or a scapegoat for their problems so they “invent” or create one.

Wasn’t it the Dupont’s who supplied gunpowder until WWI or WWII?

I believe the U.S. government turned on them and now they are one of the largest chemical companies in the world.

BTW, the Dupont’s made Gunpowder in France in the Nemours region before A.I. DuPont emigrated to the U.S.
