7The Illuminati - Secrets of a New World Order
The word "Illuminati" has, in recent years, become a catch-all buzzword for conspiracy theories of all sorts. It is a whispered response to strange happenings and seeming coincidences, a screamed retaliation to imbalances of power, a chanting pulse to the unknown.
With its name now attached to all kinds of secret societies, shadowy projects, and missions to take over the world, it is difficult to separate Illuminati fact from Illuminati fiction. The Illuminati has become a permeating presence whose reality and legends have become intertwined, nearly inseparable on an individual level. As far as whether or not the Illuminati still exists today--well, that's up to you to decide.
