But, now the legendary secret society has prompted fears the NWO may soon be upon us after it allegedly set up a public website which even encourages people to try to join up. The Illuminati conspiracy theory claims a secretive global elite that runs governments from behind the scenes is slowly implementing the so-called NWO, that will culminate in a global leadership. The theory varies in extremities from the above at the least, to the Illuminati being a highly Satanic cult that intends returning the devil to earth. Www.illuminatiofficial.org claims the organisation actually exists and is actually behind this website, which it claims is to give normal people a better understanding of the secret society and why it operates. The website, which suggests the Illuminati has its own press office and vice-president called Thaddeus Iam, also claims to dispel "negative myths" about it and suggests the society is actually a force for good. An "about us" section on the website says: "The Illuminati is an elite organisation of world leaders, business authorities, innovators, artists, and other influential members of this planet.

ILLUMINATIOFFICIAL.ORG A still from a promotional video on the Illuminatiofficial.org website.

"Our coalition unites influencers of all political, religious, and geographical backgrounds to further the prosperity of the human species as a whole. "While many of our operations require anonymity for the safety of our members, we strive to create a better understanding between us and the people we have been entrusted to protect. "To continue functioning throughout societal and generational changes, the Illuminati’s operations often require anonymity for both our members and our work. "You may not find us praised in any history book or document. However, the Illuminati has helped with every major movement on this planet since the first human government was established. "Since the formation of the Illuminati, many citizens have inaccurately portrayed our organisation in a negative manner. "These misconceptions have been perpetuated for centuries through videos, photos, articles, books, and unofficial online resources claiming to understand our mission and members.

"In creating this online destination, we strive to alleviate the concerns voiced by the people of this planet and provide insight into our goals and operations." The website has a section where visitors can even apply to join the organisation. It also claims other groups calling themselves Illuminati are fake, and that the organisation is not Satanic, as has been suggested. It says: "For decades, a multitude of individuals have operated under the name of the Illuminati — their deceit clouds public perception of our organization, causing many citizens to believe that wrongdoings are committed by our command.
