Charlie Daniels wants Taco Bell to take Illuminati seriously

Charlie Daniels isn't laughing at Taco Bell's new ad campaign.

The fast-food chain is spoofing the concept of "The Illuminati" — an alleged secret society of elites that controls the globe.

Some believe the U.S. dollar bill contains clues to a shadowy organization. Taco Bell's "Belluminati" ad runs with that concept to promote its dollar menu items.

Apparently, the "Devil Went Down to Georgia" singer caught the TV spot during Monday's National Championship Game. He tweeted, "Hey Taco Bell...The Illuminati is not a frivolous subject."

Anyone who follows Daniels knows the Country Music Hall of Famer is an open book on his political beliefs, and shares his take on a near-daily basis. Still, his tweet to Taco Bell stood out on social media, garnering 14,000 retweets and nearly 2,000 responses.

This isn't the first time Daniels has sounded off on secret societies. In a lengthy Facebook post last year, he expressed a belief in an unnamed organization operating from the shadows:

"I believe they hold great sway with many of the world’s governments and leaders, that they have the influence and means to start small wars, foment famines and revolutions and care not a whit for massive human suffering if it benefits their cause."

Two days later, Daniels' tweet is still generating conversation — and making the news rounds.

Daniels, on the other hand, quickly moved on, and has since been tweeting about Benghazi, bible verses and even a few frivolous subjects of his own.

"Redneck observation number 101," he wrote Wednesday morning. "What this world needs is less quiche and more cornbread."
