John Best's constant drivel about the Illuminati begs the question; Who are they? Do they even exist?
They did - in the 18th Century in the German state of Bavaria. But not now. According to Wikipedia, it was a secret society that lasted nine tears before being infiltrated and torn down by the government of the time. But the rumours soon began that the society survived and started getting involved in the French Revolution and in particular the Reign of Terror. This rumour had an effect on Europe during the 19th century in the ruling classes, leading to some nasty reactions.
In the 20th century it became the domain of Christian fundamentalist belief, and despite increasing skepticism in more recent times some people still believe this conspiracy theory. The most recent public group to press it is the John Birch Society, a crank organisation that almost fell apart before George W Bush starting his "New World Order" talk.
But there is no such group. It hasn't existed since 1785 and never will exist.
John Best tries to link the Rothschild family to this theory, and fails miserably.
