does the illuminati run hollywood maybe on this episode we will dive into the rumors that various celebrities are a part of a secret society that controls hollywood beyonce and jay-z check rihanna perhaps even though i don't know who any of these people are do you know who these people are stacy yes that's because stacy is smarter than me and since we're on the subject i'd also like to officially announce that stacy and i are boyfriend and girlfriend there was some confusion before apparently you need to ask someone to be your girlfriend in private before announcing
it on a public access web series show yep it's true i'm dagula san vicente jr and i'm stacy and this is hollywood parallel universe illuminati edition now before we dive into the details let's first take a look at what the illuminati is the illuminati is a designation applied to various groups claiming to be enlightened the organization is believed to be severely guarded and extremely powerful many believe that it actually controls the entire modern world primarily by infiltrating the media and subsequently brainwashing the population furthermore the illuminati isn't limited to a certain time place or era
illuminati enthusiasts believe it's going on all the time everywhere forever it's insignia eye of providence can be found everywhere from masonic buildings to the us one dollar bill this ubiquitous image dates back to as early as 1525 in pontormo's painting separate emmaus early uses of the eye of providence imply that it was invented as a symbol of gods watching over humanity the same symbol can be seen on other artworks in subsequent centuries [Music] or maybe instead of god it's something or someone's else for there was actually an illuminati group that existed in the 18th century
founded by adam weishaupt this incarnation was a republican movement of free thought possibly featuring prominent members like johann goerta it is said to have fizzled out around 1777 but conspiracy theories about the illuminati came to the surface almost immediately after they were disbanded and thus the legend lived on in 1797 abe augustine borowell suggested that the illuminati as well as other secret societies were responsible for the french revolution and even george washington himself wrote a letter in 1798 in which he addressed the threat of the illuminati today the conspiracy still persists largely in part due
to its resurgence in 70s counterculture it is grouped with satanism and myths about aliens which is why the illuminati is also credited for running hollywood behind the scenes so do you think that's true stacy no no i don't the mention of the illuminati in various pop culture and media outlets fuels the rumor that the organization still persists from books to movies and most predominantly rap songs an early song to reference the illuminati was the 1995 remix of ll cool jays i shot ya in it prodigy raps illuminati want my mind soul and my body secret
society trying to keep the eye on me in 2008 herb magazine published a letter that prodigy wrote from jail where he claimed jay-z promotes the lifestyle of the beast he claimed that not just hip-hop but the music industry in general is a convenient avenue for the illuminati they're [ __ ] with people's senses their sexual energies mental energies they know how to manipulate the chakras in your body and set them shits off turn them on and turn them off if you study that type of stuff metaphysics and all that stuff you'll see it's very real
speaking of jay-z there is a rather sizable rumor that jay-z and beyonce are members of the illuminati themselves they join a list of celebrities that includes prince katy perry kanye west lady gaga michael jackson and my fellow canadian drake running through the six six six with my woes yes i am a fan though there is no definitive proof that any of these celebrities are part of the illuminati let's explore the theory further beginning with beyonce and jay-z experts on the illuminati have pointed to beyonce's 2013 super bowl performance as proof of her devil worshiping and
have even credited her alter ego sasha fierce as being a demonic entity in addition jay-z has been accused of placing secret symbols in his music videos such as goat imagery and devil horns the logo for his own music label rock of fellow records is a pyramid which is one of the most well-known illuminati symbols some would say jay-z is one of many celebrities who deliberately play with or use illuminati symbols in their career perhaps to mess with their audiences rihanna is another example of a musician who does this she frequently uses such images in her
music videos and even used a fake newspaper in her video for s m which held a headline declaring her as princess of the illuminati prince has been tied to the group as well after his death in 2016 some accused the illuminati of killing him one gossip website wrote the illuminati talk won't stop coming and what doesn't help is that prince himself seems to have been genuinely convinced that the organization existed the same goes with michael jackson even though i personally am not a fan it is said that the illuminati murdered him to obtain the rights
to his extensive music catalog his death even coincides with the summer solstice which is said to be an ideal time for the illuminati to make sacrifices and finally lady gaga has also been accused anonymous canadian blogger vigilante citizen analyzed several of her videos including paparazzi bad romance and alejandro and concluded that all videos featured various iconography tied to the illuminati coming to the conclusion that lady gaga was undeniably a puppet for the organization let's get serious for a moment one thing i noticed in my research for this script was that there's a large number of
black celebrities who have been accused of being illuminati members now this is just my personal opinion but i can't help but feel that there is a strong undercurrent of institutional racism behind these accusations i think you're right there absolutely is rob brotherton a professor at barnard college points out that black people in the u.s are often targets for people believing in the illuminati this stems from black americans being victims of real-life government conspiracy theories which have historically targeted black people such as the fbi infiltration of the civil rights movement in the 50s and 60s and
according to mark a fenster law professor and author of conspiracy theories secrecy and power in american culture to the public celebrities seem to live in a different universe than us they have secret lives and secret access that seems reptilian we notice how bizarre their lives seem to be and how powerful they seem to be perhaps this ties into institutionalized racism again conspiracies about these celebrities might suggest that the only way black artists and creatives could rise to positions of power would be through a secret society anyway the idea of the illuminati is just a modern
version of a time old american phenomenon of questioning those who are in a position of power the onus very often falls onto celebrities because they're representative of a unique type of power that may be difficult to fully understand unfortunately it's impossible to prove whether anyone is really involved with the illuminati because if it were real it would be a heavily guarded secret as for me i'm not sure what i believe but if i were to guess i'd say the kardashians are involved somehow i agree i know right it's like they all look the same but
different anyway thank you for watching and i'd like to announce that you could also follow me on instagram stacey made me did it last week and my handle is at dagula doom technology is crazy like the illuminati anyway goodbye for now [Music] you
