It's already public knowledge about secret organizations like the kaballah and illuminati being real.

If you don't believe so, you're choosing to be ignorant.

Deus Ex convinced me :P

On a serious note: I'm sure there are plenty of world manipulation organizations out there. I'm sure that \"The Illuminati\" exist out there somewhere. What I don't know is where the myth/delusion of their power ends, and where the reality of their power begins. I doubt even they know the truth to that answer. (They probably have a lot better idea than the rest of us shmos... I'd say they would tend to over-estimate their power.)

No no no, im talking about the conspiracy... the belief that they are the illuminated and they will establish world peace and stuff. The other stuff is about them controlling chaos and order like economic decline and stuff.

Here -

Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name that refers to several groups, both historical and modern, and both real and fictitious. Historically, it refers specifically to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776. In modern times it is also used to refer to a purported conspiratorial organization which acts as a shadowy "power behind the throne", allegedly controlling world affairs through present day governments and corporations, usually as a modern incarnation or continuation of the Bavarian Illuminati. In this context, Illuminati is often used in reference to a New World Order (NWO). Many conspiracy theorists believe the Illuminati are the masterminds behind events that will lead to the establishment of such a New World Order.

Regarding Kabbalah, this is like saying your university psychology class is a secret organization. Kabbalah is jewish mysticism -- a study of hidden meaning behind Torah, not some group of people.
