written in this medieval looking font the name Illuminati is an ambigram a word that reads exactly the same upside down welcome to watch Mojo and today we're examining events that have been linked to the Illuminati references have also cropped up in music videos such as Rihanna's s m which featured a fake newspaper with a headline declaring her princess of the Illuminati for this list we're looking at shocking occurrences that have been the subject of many conspiracy theories some involving the supposed secret society to be clear while the historical Bavarian Illuminati briefly existed in the 1700s modern conspiracies regarding the Illuminati and a new world order are not to be taken seriously had you heard about any of these theories let us know in the comments below the Watergate scandal chances are that the Illuminati will be name dropped in some capacity whenever politics is concerned case in point the infamous Watergate scandal we were witnessing the implosion of an American presidency in 1972 burglars associated with Richard Nixon broke into the Watergate complex which housed the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee following a highly publicized investigation Nixon was found responsible for concealing the ordeal and resigned rather than face impeachment proceedings and so we leave with high hopes in good spirit LimeWire founder Mark Gorton allegedly once said that he believed Nixon was framed by a quote secret cabal with ulterior motives which sounds an awful lot like that Illuminati group all the conspiracy theorists are talking about doesn't it there was virtually no reaction to the stories we did and it was a way of saying Watergate who cares the Battle of Waterloo fought on June 18 1815 the Battle of Waterloo was a significant turning point in the war of the seventh Coalition and by that we mean it put an end to the Napoleonic Wars on June 18 1815 these men and their weapons would meet to determine the fate of the world over 70 000 French soldiers battled roughly 120 000 of the coalitions with the latter side emerging Victorious after Fierce fighting [Music] the loss put an end to Napoleon's campaign collapsed the first French Empire and would help lead to the peaceful period known as Pax Britannica of course for some reason conspiracy theorists say the so-called Illuminati was responsible for the Battle of Waterloo and its history altering outcome but those who believe in the Illuminati often link them to any event that's had major repercussions if there is a lesson to be learned from the Battle of Waterloo for the commander it is that you must know and understand your enemy the death of Paul Walker American actor Paul Walker became a household name playing Brian O'Connor in the Fast and the Furious movies he starred in six of the first seven films with furious 7 serving as a posthumous release you'll always be change the game and you'll always be my brother Walker sadly passed away on November 30th 2013. he was traveling in a Porsche Carrera GT with driver Roger wrote us when they were involved in a deadly crash Paul Walker one of the stars of the enormously popular Fast and Furious movies dead in a car crash of course some don't accept this story and think the Illuminati are somehow to blame according to one conspiracy theory the Illuminati had Walker killed with a drone strike after he discovered some sensitive information but of course as is the case with all Illuminati theories there is no evidence to support this crazy story whatsoever what was the last thing you heard Paul say hey I'll be right back in five minutes the French Revolution one man would rise to inspire the nation to cost aside a reluctant king and a hated Queen perhaps one of the most notable events in world history the French Revolution spanned from 1789 to 1799. its outcomes were numerous including the death of Louis coutures the dismantling of the old regime and the birth of the constitutional monarchy the death of King Louis XVI marks a turning point a pivotal moment when the radical revolutionaries claimed Victory and the French Republic is born in Blood and somehow conspiracy theory surfaced almost immediately placing the blame on the Illuminati yes the conspiracy theories go back that far French Jesuit priest Augustin bakul blamed the Illuminati among others for the French Revolution in his book Memoirs illustrating the history of jacobinism some say he did this in an attempt to discredit the philosophers and intellectuals of the day which he so despised it was the revolution that upset things the most I mean again when you consider that it got rid of the Catholic Church it got rid of Christianity it got rid of the nobility it got rid of the king got rid of all these things the election of Thomas Jefferson while it may feel like conspiracy theories falsely connecting the Illuminati to American politics are new they've been present from the beginning Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States serving two terms from 1801 to 1809.
Jefferson won the presidency as a democratic Republican in the election of 1800 and won re-election in 1804. because of Augustine bakare's aforementioned book allegations involving the Illuminati were widespread around this time Yale University president Timothy Dwight along with other prominent figures accused Jefferson of working with the society around 1798.
