The Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened")
Now tell me why the fuck would I call a bunch a fat stupid bald bullies "The Enlightened Ones". Even if these stupid "powers that be" called themselves "The Illuminati" without promoting any kind of Enlightenment like the Original Illuminati did, then the description of themselves is invalid.

"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt."
"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand." - Bertrand Russell
"Weishaupt believes that to promote this perfection of the human character was the object of Jesus Christ. That his intention was simply to reinstate natural religion, & by diffusing the light of his morality, to teach us to govern ourselves. His precepts are the love of God & love of our neighbor. And by teaching innocence of conduct, he expected to place men in their natural state of liberty & equality. He says, no one ever laid a surer foundation for liberty than our grand master, Jesus of Nazareth. He believes the Free masons were originally possessed of the true principles & objects of Christianity, & have still preserved some of them by tradition, but much disfigured. The means he proposes to effect this improvement of human nature are "to enlighten men, to correct their morals & inspire them with benevolence. Secure of our success, sais he, we abstain from violent commotions. To have foreseen, the happiness of posterity & to have prepared it by irreproachable means, suffices for our felicity. The tranquility of our consciences is not troubled by the reproach of aiming at the ruin or overthrow of states or thrones." As Weishaupt lived under the tyranny of a despot & priests, he knew that caution was necessary even in spreading information, & the principles of pure morality. He proposed therefore to lead the Free masons to adopt this object & to make the objects of their institution the diffusion of science & virtue. He proposed to initiate new members into his body by gradations proportioned to his fears of the thunderbolts of tyranny. This has given an air of mystery to his views, was the foundation of his banishment, the subversion of the masonic order, & is the colour for the ravings against him of Robinson, Barruel & Morse, whose real fears are that the craft would be endangered by the spreading of information, reason, & natural morality among men. This subject being new to me, I have imagined that if it be so to you also, you may receive the same satisfaction in seeing, which I have had in forming the analysis of it: & I believe you will think with me that if Wishaupt had written here, where no secrecy is necessary in our endeavors to render men wise & virtuous, he would not have thought of any secret machinery for that purpose." - Thomas Jefferson
The CFR, the Skull & Bones, and the Bohemian Club are all, of course, real.
The Illuminati, historically - also, quite, real. Today? - perhaps not...
Do you discourage research?

@Smeogul No I don't discourage research, and I agree with your statement.

Interesting. I like to think of the Illuminati as anyone in big business who is a greedy fuck. If you are in a position to help people and you decide to fuck them over instead (for extra money), then you are illuminati. If you understand that we can make all our fuel from a plant called cannabis which can also cure cancer when you extract the therapeutic compounds from it (cannabinoids) ... and you look at how it is outlawed and condemned ... what say you? Illuminati.

@Hemptastic47 I understand that it is used as the generic term to describe them, but the word ILLUMINATI means the enlightened ones, so the label is wrong to put on them. In other words, they don't deserve that title at all. Call them by any other name but not Illuminati, even if they call themselves that. We are the Illuminati, not they, or them.

Brilliant, but why not making it a bit longer with an ending as good as the start?
