The Illuminate and the nature of Money

There are the rich and the poor, and the in-between. There is the elite. The question is how localized or general it is. In other words the owner of Marks & Spencer makes the main decisions for Marks & Spencer. Bill Gates and the Microsoft shareholders control Microsoft. In the government, the president and the senate makes the decisions regarding the government… and so on. So, they are the elite in their respective spheres you could say. But does Marks & Spencer team up with Microsoft to control the government decisions? (Marks & Spencer & Microsoft are simply unfortunate random examples)

We know that big banks and corporations have big say in government. Oil companies and weapon contractors influence government decisions too. Especially when they offer huge ‘bonuses’ to congressmen and presidents for legislating in their favor. There is always speculation as to how far it goes.  How big is BIG? That is the only question.  It seems fair to say that the people with the money control lots of things, but the Illuminate theory goes beyond that. They say that it even goes beyond money.

If it goes beyond money, then what would be the motivation at all? In today’s world we accept that people do things for money or ideals. What would those ideals be?

Here’s a pyramid representing a basic theory of the Illuminate:

This is fair. I think most people can accept that the Rich are in a stronger position than the poor. Out of this point of view many conspiracy theories would make sense too. It’s possible and probable that the rich class do many despicable things to maintain the power and the status quo. 

Beyond that, you start treading in the zone of speculation. It’s entertaining, but it’s probably fiction. And besides, there are so many alternatives to this pyramid. Let’s look at a few:

OK, so we know who’s at the bottom. That’s us!.. But who’s at the top?

1. Introducing the first speculation: The Devil (Satan). This is mainly a Christian concept. The Devil controls the Illuminate. He is the ‘Illumined one’, the ‘Light bringer’. But you really have to believe in the Devil to believe this one.
2.  The free masons control the world. There is a 33^rd level in this organization that controls all facets of society. This sometimes links up with the first one. The devil controls the free masons! (otherwise, what would be their motivation?)
3.    A specific family or ethnic group. The Rothschild’s,  the Jews,  the white people, or the Kennedys or the Bush family. Their motivation?  To get richer and richer and…well, how rich can you really get?
4.  The reptilians: David Icke gets the credit for this amazing idea. Alien reptiles disguised as human beings control all facets of society. What do they want? They eat human beings of course! (What else does a crocodile want to do with a pretty girl?)
5.    The Anunaki control the world. Their motivation is simply to control the world to get people to mine and supply gold for them. They transport this gold to their planet, because they need gold (unlike us, we don’t actually USE gold). Their agenda is simple. Gold.
6. A financial conglomerate mafia, which is a collection of international banks and corporations extending into the oil industry, the military industrial complex etc.   

And that is about it. If there’s global elite, it would be one of these six.

Money controls the world, and there is a control of money supply. But does that mean that there is a global elite that controls the money? I won’t out rule such a possibility, but I’m going to explain what I think is the best option to believe. This option makes sense. It’s not a victim mindset, but one of understanding.

So, why take the route of understanding, when you can just blame it all on someone else?

Let’s start with the idea of the Devil.  The concept of the Devil is an important one, not because it’s true, but because this is a basic belief that flows into many other conspiracies, which may not have the devil as its object,  but something or someone else who gets the same special focus.

Many people believe that this one person is responsible for all the ills in the world. The Devil whispers in your ear to do all the wrong things. We are all victims of his secret cunnings. This is a Christian concept. Yet, forgiveness, and the power of Love, the power that love has to change people – that’s also a Christian concept. What about if people used all that Christian love to change the Devil. 

Haven’t you heard these stories of the reborn Christian’s love that changed the heart of the most satanic Satanist friend around?  Imagine, if the devil could have a change of heart, then all the problems of the world would end, right?

But People won’t consider that option, because it’s convenient for them to have a scapegoat to blame. There’s a peculiar morbid fascination that drives the belief in the Devil. It’s a myth that makes sense on some psychological level. 

Kahlil Gibran wrote a story about a religious leader who discovered an insured man dying next to the road one day. At first the pastor wanted to ignore the man, thinking it could be dangerous to get involved, but then the man whispered “You and I have been friends for a long time…Don’t you recognize me?” The pastor then started getting involved in a conversation with the man, who explained to the pastor who he was.  In a deep voice he confessed   “I am Satan”.

The pastor started cursing the Devil for all the evils he had done to the world. The devil quietly listened, and when the pastor finished his rambling, he was reminded of how the church has built their existence around him, the devil, and if he would die the church and the pastor’s occupation and purpose would disappear.

“Satan, you must live, for if you die and the people know it, their fear of hell will vanish, and they will cease worshipping, for nothing would be sin.”

The story ends with the pastor lifting Satan upon his back and walking toward his home...his lips moving in fervent prayer for the life of the dying Satan.

If the illuminate exists in the same way the Devil myth does, then it would mean that the illuminate gives the victims(the conspiracy theorists) a purpose for their suffering, and an ‘explanation’ for an irrational world.

If you consider many of the conspiracy theories surrounding the Illuminate, it inspires a feeling of helplessness and anger, often towards one particular family, for instance the Rothchilds. Alex Jones and his network  for instance have the belief that the people on the top of the pyramid have evil intentions for humanity.

I have no doubt that decisions made by major corporations do have unfortunate consequences on the public. And I have no doubt that there certainly are conspiracies intending to protect the interests of big business.  Oil companies are polluting the world, and probably suppressing superior (unprofitable) technology to ensure their survival.  Weapons companies are in business to support war. Banks enslave people and governments with debt. Governments are serving the interests of the Banks and corporations, before us the people.

All true. 

But that is not the whole truth. To understand the situation better, you would have to want to understand the nature of money. Once you have this understanding, you can reframe the Illuminate concept again as you want, and choose your pyramid again - if you will.

The nature of money:

Most people work for money. But for some people, money works for them. These people are called investors. The more investments you have, the less involved you become with the object of your investment. Let me give an example: 

A friend advises you to invest in the stock market. He suggests a stock, with a ticker symbol XYZ. You buy some stocks, and after a year of investment, you made some money, as the stocks went up. As an investor you are mainly concerned about what the outcome is going to be for you. It’s not that you don’t care about what XYZ does. Your position as an investor is objective. You look at the stock values, the financial statements etc. 

Are you responsible for how XYZ treats its employees? That is a moral question that would be difficult to answer for an expert on ethics, let alone a simple investor.

You own a little piece of a company (stocks). You are supporting their employment, but you are also supporting the management who (possibly) treats their employees badly.

The main shareholders of McDonald's are aware of the fact that their business’ annual revenue is about $27.5 billion, and that they have 1.5 million employees. That’s a huge responsibility.  Do you think they are going to put the public’s health in front of the wellbeing of their business? It’s not that they don’t care about the average McDonalds customer.  Even more so, it’s definitely not that they are trying to poison the public. It’s a matter of priorities and convenience. Changing their priorities could have a drastic effect on the annual revenue. How about 10 000 employees losing their jobs, because of loss of sales? Welcome to the mind of the investor.

I can imagine that many investors know that their investments have bad consequences on some people. They choose to keep supporting it in spite of its offences, not because of it. Why do they choose to keep supporting a venture that could be polluting the environment, or making life difficult for some people? Because it’s profitable for them to do so. They are probably not noble people, but I don’t think they invest out of sadistic pleasure.

I see many large corporations invest back in the community by giving money to charities, building schools and hospitals. Are they trying to soothe their own conscience, or are they trying to deceive the public? The answer depends on how you frame their position in society. If you take the understanding from this article, you would at least consider the possibility of the first option. Alex Jones would say it is the second option (and that is profitable for him).

I know my article isn’t going to change the world. But at least you could be fortunate to see mr Alex Jones running home, with the devil on his back, praying for the life of Dying Satan.
