Modern Illuminati Main article: New World Order (conspiracy theory) Writers such as Mark Dice,[7] David Icke, Ryan Burke, Jüri Lina and Morgan Gricar, have argued that the Bavarian Illuminati survived, possibly to this day. Many of these theories propose that world events are being controlled and manipulated by a secret society calling itself the Illuminati.[8][9] Theorists have claimed that many notable people were or are members of the Illuminati, including Winston Churchill,[10] David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski. [11] In addition to the shadowy and secret organization proposed by conspiracy theories, several modern fraternal groups claim to be the "heirs" of the Bavarian Illuminati and have openly used the name "Illuminati" in founding their own rites. Some, such as the multiple groups that call themselves some variation on "The Illuminati Order"[12][13][14] use the name directly in the name of their organization, while others, such as the Ordo Templi Orientis, and the Grand Lodge Rockefeller founded by David Goldman, use the name as a grade of initiation within their organization.

I keep reading posts that go on about the Illuminati as if there was no real mystery about the group at all. When in fact there is no proof (as I am aware of) that they even still exist.

And by your own sources, that order was dissolved in 1785. So why do people think they're around today?

Bold added to my original post. I think you are misunderstanding my question. I fully understand that a group was formed in the 1700s called the Illuminati. There is much information on it. I did the research. What seems to be missing, is the modern day truth. You linked the article as if it contained proof that I could go down the street and find the building the Illuminati have lunch at. So again I ask. Is there proof (any at all) that in the year 2009, there exists a group of people who are the fabled "Illuminati" whom are mentioned on ATS every day? (the ones who are in control of the NWO and all the money)
Considering the thought they they never did much of anything to become rich or famous or successful is too ego-shattering of a thing to consider when you can just blame it all on someone else.
