The Illuminati
The Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name given to several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically, the name refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776. The society's goals were to oppose superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life and abuses of state power. "The order of the day," they wrote in their general statutes, "is to put an end to the machinations of the purveyors of injustice, to control them without dominating them." The Illuminati along with Freemasonry and other secret societies were outlawed through Edict, by the Bavarian ruler, Charles Theodore, with the encouragement of the Roman Catholic Church, in 1784, 1785, 1787 and 1790. In the several years following, the group was vilified by conservative and religious critics who claimed that they continued underground and were responsible for the French Revolution.

The Illuminati conspiracy is a conspiracy theory which holds that there is a "global elite" society that is either in control of the world or is seeking to take control of the world. As with most conspiracy theories, beliefs regarding the Illuminati conspiracy vary widely. As a result, it is virtually impossible to give a synopsis of the Illuminati conspiracy. Popularized in recent books and movies, the Illuminati conspiracy has definitely reached "cult fiction" status.
If one were to attempt to summarize the Illuminati conspiracy, it would go something like this: The Illuminati began as a secret society under the direction of Jesuit priests. Later, a council of five men, one for each of the points on the pentagram, formed what was called "The Ancient and Illuminated Seers of Bavaria." They were high order Luciferian Freemasons, thoroughly immersed in mysticism and Eastern mental disciplines, seeking to develop the super powers of the mind. Their alleged plan and purpose is world domination for their lord (who precisely this lord is varies widely). The Illuminati are alleged to be the primary motivational forces encouraging global governance, a one-world religious ethic, and centralized control of the world's economic systems. Organizations such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the International Criminal Court are seen as tentacles of the Illuminati. According to the Illuminati conspiracy, the Illuminati are the driving force behind efforts to brainwash the gullible masses through thought control and manipulation of beliefs, through the press, the educational curriculum, and the political leadership of the nations.
The Illuminati supposedly have a private board of elite, interlocking delegates who control the world's major banks. They create inflations, recessions, and depressions and manipulate the world markets, supporting certain leaders and coups and undermining others to achieve their overall goals. The supposed goal behind the Illuminati conspiracy is to create and then manage crises that will eventually convince the masses that globalism, with its centralized economic control and one-world religious ethic, is the necessary solution to the world's woes. This structure, usually known as the "New World Order," will, of course, be ruled by the Illuminati.

UFOs
UFO whistleblower testifies his life was threatened over secret alien tech retrieval.
UFO Congressional hearing
UFO whistleblower David Grusch testified under oath his life was threatened and he was instructed to keep quiet about a secret government-run crashed UFO retrieval program. Grusch added that he knows colleagues who were injured while reverse-engineering UFO tech by "people" within the government.
Grusch, Ryan Graves and David Fravor answered lawmakers' questions during Wednesday's House Oversight Committee hearing, which highlighted decades of alleged government secrecy around UFOs, now referred to as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). "I can't get into the specifics in an open forum but … what I personally witnessed myself and my wife was very disturbing," said Grusch, a former U.S. intelligence officer and Air Force veteran. "I've faced brutal, unfortunate tactics" of retribution that he called "administrative terrorism." He also said the government "absolutely" has UFO tech and "biologics" of "non-human origins" since the 1930s and knows the exact locations where they're being held.
Grusch said he couldn't divulge specifics in an open forum because there's an open whistleblower reprisal program case against him, but he told lawmakers he can detail them in a classified setting. Graves, a former F-18 pilot with over a decade of service in the U.S. Navy, described his firsthand account of run-ins with UAPs, including the objects' abilities to accelerate, hold position against hurricane-force winds and outlast U.S. fighter jets.
And Fravor, a retired squad leader of the Black Aces who served 18 years as a Navy pilot, spotted what's become known as the "Tic Tac UFO" during a 2004 training mission, which is largely considered the strongest evidence of UFO and extraterrestrial existence. It was "far superior to anything we had at the time, have today or are looking to develop in the next 10-plus years," Fravor said in his opening statement.
Each of their stories are well documented, but their testimony under oath takes news interviews to the next level and documents their comments in an official congressional record as a bipartisan movement pushes for UFO transparency and records disclosure. All three whistleblowers described UFOs' physics-defying maneuvers, the objects' lack of propulsion systems and control surfaces, such as wings or engines, and the roadblocks to reporting UAPs. Each argued against the government's secrecy and overclassification of UFO- and extraterrestrial-related records that have led to mistrust from the American people, developed a stigma around the topic and created a national security issue.
"I can tell you that advanced UAP are a national security and an aviation safety problem," Graves said in his opening statement. "Over time, UAP sightings became an open secret among our aircrew. They were a common occurrence, seen by most of my colleagues on radar and occasionally up close." Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., who has spearheaded the fight for UFO transparency, said, "We can't trust a government that does not trust its people."
Last week, the Senate passed bipartisan legislation to declassify and release UFO-related records that brought political foes like Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., together. House Oversight Committee Chairman Robert Garcia, D-Calif., said it's important to move forward in a bipartisan manner "to cut through misinformation and to look at the facts in a serious and thoughtful manner." After listening to the witnesses' testimony for more than two hours, Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., said there's "clearly a threat to the national security of the United States."
Grusch, a decorated Air Force veteran and intelligence officer, turned up the heat on the UFO topic to a boiling point after he went public and essentially forced Congress' hand to make the hearing happen. But it hasn't come without consequences for Grusch. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., asked Grusch, "Have you had instances that you were in fear for your life for addressing these issues?" "Yes. Personally, yeah," he responded.

Chemtrail Conspiracy Theory
According to the chemtrail conspiracy theory, long-lasting trails left in the sky by high-flying aircraft are chemical or biological agents deliberately sprayed for sinister purposes undisclosed to the general public. Believers in the theory argue that normal contrails dissipate relatively quickly, and contrails that do not dissipate must contain additional substances. These arguments have been dismissed by the scientific community: such trails are simply normal water-based contrails (condensation trails) which are routinely left by high-flying aircraft under certain atmospheric conditions. Although proponents have attempted to prove that the claimed chemical spraying does take place, their analyses have been flawed or based on misconception.
Because of the widespread popularity of the conspiracy theory, official agencies have received many inquiries from people demanding an explanation. Scientists and government officials around the world have repeatedly needed to confirm that supposed chemtrails are in fact normal contrails.
The term chemtrail is a portmanteau of the words "chemical" and "trail", just as contrail is a contraction of "condensation trail". Believers in the conspiracy theory speculate that the purpose of the claimed chemical release may be for solar radiation management, psychological manipulation, human population control, weather modification, or biological or chemical warfare, and that the trails are causing respiratory illnesses and other health problems. Contrails are formed at high altitudes (5–10 miles or 8–16 kilometres) and if any chemicals were released at such altitude they would disperse harmlessly and fall many hundreds of miles away, or degrade before touching the ground.
Zombies
Zombies are fictional undead creatures, typically depicted as mindless, reanimated human corpses with a hunger for human flesh. Zombies are most commonly found in horror and fantasy genre works. Some depictions are inspired by Haitian folklore, while modern depictions typically do not have that same direct connection. Zombies have a complex literary heritage, with antecedents ranging from Richard Matheson and H. P. Lovecraft to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein drawing on European folklore of the undead. George A. Romero's reinvention of the monster for his 1968 film Night of the Living Dead led to several zombie films in the 1980s and a resurgence of popularity in the 2000s. The "zombie apocalypse" concept, in which the civilized world is brought low by a global zombie infestation, became a staple of modern popular art.
Zombie Apocalypse
Intimately tied to the conception of the modern zombie is the "zombie apocalypse"; the breakdown of society as a result of an initial zombie outbreak which spreads. This archetype has emerged as a prolific subgenre of apocalyptic fiction and has been portrayed in many zombie-related media after Night of the Living Dead. In a zombie apocalypse, a widespread (usually global) rise of zombies hostile to human life engages in a general assault on civilization. Victims of zombies may become zombies themselves. This causes the outbreak to become an exponentially growing crisis: the spreading "zombie plague/virus" swamps normal military and law enforcement organizations, leading to the panicked collapse of civilized society until only isolated pockets of survivors remain, scavenging for food and supplies in a world reduced to a pre-industrial hostile wilderness.
