I am not suggesting there is a subsect of secret societies still in existance called the Illuminati. Whether there is or not is really a moot point, the affecting of events and involvement/coordination by Masonry cannot be ignored or denied.
Just meandering through the nation's capitol, as well as numerous other grand buildings (including the Israeli supreme court) throughout the world will show that.
Considering the leading world bankers are Freemasons as well as "Jewish", this is reason enough for conspiracy theories.
