What is the illuminati?

-Who are they and what do they do?

What do people mean when they say celebrities are involved with the illuminati, in what way? And how is that possible?

Whats the story?They are a secretive order of seemingly 'enlightened' people who are supposedly behind all major world decisions and the driving force behind creating a new world order.

A lot of famous people have reportedly been involved with the Illuminati, mainly scientists, Isaac Newton was said to have been one of the earliest members.

I don't believe that the original Illuminati (from Bavaria) have survived to this day. I think that what remains is a conspiracy theory.

You should read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. Great book and it centers around the Illuminati.
This has their complete history and who alot of the members are

A fantasy of conspiracy theorists with too much time on their hands. However, Conspiracies and Secret Societies by Brad Steiger and Rule by Secrecy by Jim Marrs, might interest you.
