Mirthful Me, the time has come for me to ask about the strangely compelling Shriner-Monkey you use for an avatar... who is he, and does he have any relation to the Japanese-talkin' rasberry-givin' monkey-boy with whose picture you just graced us?

How about this... if invited would you join?

Just the fine work of an obscure (OMG) Canadian artist, who does a little work for a even more obscure (and eclectic) Californian winery whose delectable efforts I imbibe from time to time.

If there is a world-wide conspiracy, how many people are knowing members; I mean as a proportion of the population?
How do they recruit? It would take more than some sinister logo and a secret handshake to control the world.
I was born into it, but there are certain life-cycle events where you have to affirm your commitment. The first one is at the age of 13 where you have to demonstrate both that you want to be in and that you�re wanted by the group. Then there is a tradition that after the last year of formal school, you take a few years off to do something else. Not everybody does that, though.
There is a mythology that you have to be born into it to advance very high, but that�s not really true. It does help, it�s just not required.
Recruitment isn�t as big a deal as you might think. You look for the right attitude, people who are a little idealistic yet who don�t look for personal aggrandizement. The first step is to get them involved in the work and see how they do. Many are already involved in the work, but don�t know it.
Sometimes civilians get involved in Illuminati meetings, contribute their ideas and become part of the decision making process without ever knowing it�s anything more than a political discussion. Behind their backs, we talk about when the time is right to give them a �history lesson� which is Illuminati slang for a formal indoctrination and introduction to our larger goals. If they get spooked at this point, we don�t kill them or anything sinister, we just stop talking about it and let them drift away or come back as their conscience dictates. Most come back.
Controlling the world is something of a misnomer. Shaping the world is more like it. Controlling everything is way too hard and requires too many resources, but influencing things is another matter entirely.

Whoah there Mycroft.
Elaborate on that one for me. You're claiming to be a member of the Illuminati? Or are you referring to something else in a cryptic manner?
What are these meetings to which you refer?
What is the indoctrination and induction?
I'm intrigued by your post.

What is indoctrination and introduction? That�s a process that�s not easy to describe. In recruiting people, you don�t look to convince anyone of anything or to change their mind, you look for people who already share your point of view and goals, and you channel their energies where it will do the most good while introducing them to like minded people. Sometimes they figure out on their own that they�re part of a group, sometimes they need to be told. When it happens, then you have a series of discussions on how society has changed over the past few centuries, and how it might change in the future. A �history lesson�.

Ok, what is this about? The Illuminati? I'm quite confused-Ijust now started to look into the secret society and it's interesting but what exactly am I looking at? Yes they all have the same name but I can come up with several cases of this-especially comapny websites. Is it something deeper, as to do with the logos?
