James Willis, author of Mysterious Milton Keynes, says truth seekers around the world believe the Illuminati has links to the town, which is home to MK Dons football club, amusement park Gulliver’s Kingdom and the country’s largest snowdome.

He said: “Is the plethora of idiosyncrasies simply coincidence? Or are these unusual features merely the tip of the iceberg – a tantalising glimpse of a deeper, hidden layer of planning…of a conspiracy?”

The eye-opening book claims the city’s design, building and name link it to the cult.

Some believe the initials ‘MK’ relate to a secretive CIA project called ‘MK-ULTRA’, which theorists claim was set up to train and brainwash political murderers.

Many claim the CIA’s mind control programme was run by the Illuminati, who also commissioned and planned the building of Milton Keynes in 1967.

This is backed up by the fact he town is designed to look like an American grid system.

According to the book, the town’s five pyramid-shaped buildings also point to Illuminati links.

The triangle, known as the ‘All Seeing Eye’, is an emblem of the cult and suggests mankind is being watched.

However, former Mayor of Milton Keynes, Councillor Keith McLean, denied there was any conspiracy and said he was "sceptical" of such things.

He told the Daily Star Online: "I have no inkling of people thinking that or saying that. I could be wrong of course."
