The Bavarian Illuminati:

Exactly what is the Bavarian Illuminati that inspired all those Illuminati conspiracy theories? All I know about them is that they were a secret society that was disbanded by the Bavarian goverment in 1785. The only non-conspircay article I found on the Bavarian Illuminati was on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati), but even there I doubt most of the info on the Wikipedia article is true.

Just awesome like that
According to YouTube commenters, every single pop star dead or alive is part of it, and they recruit people through it. So, essentially, that must make the entire world part of the Illuminati. Woo.

Insert witty and clever quip here.

Bavarian beer is pretty good. If some shadowy organization has to conquer the world, it might as well be one that will be able to give good refreshments for the post-world-conquest celebration.

I mean, just think if the Illuminati had been American... tongue

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

[up]Well, supposedly, the Founding Fathers were all Illuminati members, so it is possible...

Oh well.

I actually heard that American microbreweries are pretty good, so there's still hope.

But if they are going to serve Budweiser to celebrate their world conquest, I am going to join the rebellion.

I can see it clearly now. Bavaria is going to take over the world.

Soon, we will all be forced to wear Lederhosen, drink beer from litre-sized tankards, eat Knödel, live in kitschily-decorated semi-alpine cottages, and be Catholic. Be very, very Catholic.
Well, Midnight, looks like you've done what a lot of teenage boys dream of, and you are now a hero to them.

Um, I just want to find out more about the Bavarian Illuminati. I could barely find any real info on them, since most of the articles and sites mentioning the Illuminati are full of conspiracy theories.

This should be edifying then.

So in other words, the Illuminati conspiracy theories originated from conspiracy theories that were started by an Anti-Semite. Huh.

The system doesn't know you right now, so no post button for you.
You need to Get Known to get one of those.
