The ‘Illuminati’ is REAL and secretly running our world affairs, claims former DEFENCE MINISTER

A FORMER defence minister has sensationally claimed the legendary Illuminati is REAL and secretly running world affairs from behind the scenes.

In an astonishing speech given to the Alien Cosmic Expo in 2017, Hellyer said the illuminati are actively suppressing technology capable of reversing climate change, curing disease and ending wars around the globe.

Mr Hellyer joins the ranks of world famous conspiracy theorist David Icke, the former footballer and BBC1 Grandstand presenter, who came out as a so-called “truther” in the 1990s.

He describes the Illuminati as a cabal and the “Hidden Hand” in lectures across the globe.

However, before you decide to believe Mr Hellyer or not, it is worth knowing he also believes that several species of intelligent aliens are secretly living on Earth, and world leaders keep this secret from us, Dailystar.co.uk reports.

In fact, he claims it is aliens that have developed a “free clean energy source” that can reverse climate change, that has been given to us.

He added: “I learned way back that the US in cooperation with visitors from other planets had developed an exotic form of energy that would allow us to make the change from fossil fuels to exotic, clean energy within the 10-year deadline that I think we actually have.

“But nothing is being done about it.

“So this is not a good state of the world we’ve got.

“Certainly they are more advanced in agriculture and medicine and many other areas and if that’s true why aren’t we cooperating with them to build a better world.”

Many people subscribe to the free energy supression conspiracy theory, and that aliens are secretly living on Earth.

However, other than repeated accounts online there is no firm evidence to prove either of them.

Sceptics argue that if an endless, free power supply were available, business tycoons would develop ways to cash in on delivering the services, and would move away from fossil fuels.

Secret Societies Control the World

If you were really a member of the global élite, you’d know this already: the world is ruled by a powerful, secretive few. Many of the rest of us peons have heard that in 2004 both candidates for the White House were members of Yale University’s secretive Skull and Bones society, many of whose members have risen to powerful positions. But Skull and Bones is small potatoes compared with the mysterious cabals that occupy virtually every seat of power, from the corridors of government to the boardrooms of Wall Street. Take the Illuminati, a sect said to have originated in 18th century Germany and which is allegedly responsible for the pyramid-and-eye symbol adorning the $1 bill: they intend to foment world wars to strengthen the argument for the creation of a worldwide government (which would, of course, be Satanic in nature). Or consider the Freemasons, who tout their group as the “oldest and largest worldwide fraternity” and boast alumni like George Washington. Some think that despite donating heaps of cash to charity, they’re secretly plotting your undoing at Masonic temples across the world. Or maybe, some theorize, the guys pulling the strings aren’t concealed in shadow at all. They might be the intelligentsia on the Council on Foreign Relations, a cadre of policy wonks who allegedly count their aims as publishing an erudite bimonthly journal and establishing a unified world government — not necessarily in that order. Read “It’s All a Plot.” Inside the 5 secret societies that REALLY control the world… SOME conspiracy theories are absolutely absurd – but genuine secret societies that exert a mysterious influence on the world have existed for centuries.
