Hello Everyone I want to quickly use this medium to share a testimony on how i was directed to a Legit and real illuminati member who have transformed my life from grass to grace, from being poor to a rich woman who can now boast of a healthy and wealthy life without stress or financial difficulties. After so many months of trying to to be a member of the illuminati and was scammed the sum of $3,000 i became so desperate in being a member online who will not add to my pains, then i decided to contact a friend of mine who recently became a member, we discussed about the issue and to our conclusion she told me about a man called Paul mark who is the grand master in the whole of Africa. So i applied to become a member of illuminati easily without stress and all the preparations were made concerning how to become a member in two(2) days i became a member and the sum of 1.5 million dollars was deposited into my bank account so i want to advice any one who wants to become a member should call him +2349130700648 or WhatsApp him +2349130700648 or email (illuminatiworldoffamous@gmail.com) he does not know am doing this i pray that lucifer will bless him for the good things he has done in my life

I can’t make this shit up. The dude has published many books and found people who actually believe it all… If this startup thing doesn’t work out, maybe I’ll just start a cult. :) Edit - The second paragraph was a bad attempt at a joke. Don’t start cults. Fuck David Icke.

> If this startup thing doesn’t work out, maybe I’ll just start a cult. :) I know you’re not being serious but unfortunately many people are in this kind of thinking. All over society are movements and groupthink driven by a small group of people that realized that you can get a whole lot of money and power by making people believe outlandish things.

Just enjoy the show!

I think it’s puzzling for some of us that someone might be so apologetic and deferential for speaking their mind in a text forum - this is what we’re all here for, free association; someone’s post reminds you of David Icke and projection of meaning, by all means tell us all about it. edit: I’m not the person you’re replying to

You’re making a lot of assumptions. First, you’re assuming that I came across David Icke by chance. I didn’t. Someone I love has schizophrenia and is currently homeless. David Icke was part of his path. Fuck David Icke. Second, you’re assuming I have no compassion. What if someone reading this is sick?? I can be a dickbag or possibly set myself up as someone worth confiding in. I’ll err on the side of being someone w…

Ok well now you have to apologize to jazzyjackson

> The genius of it is that it is a note for note send up of ideologies of every kind, literally, the logic of an idea, where when you project it on something, the reflection doesn't illuminate the object so much as reinforce the underlying idea itself as a lens. Could you expound on this? I’m afraid I don’t quite understand what you are saying

It sounds like David Icke. If you really need someone to expound on this, you could read the source but we’re both on HN and likely reasonably similar. Can I give you some loving advice?? Forget this. There’s nothing good in Icke. I’ve seen way too many brilliant hackers get sucked into David Icke’s bullshit on their way to a crash. If you still really need closure, I can sum it up as the royal family, the elite and…

I remember looking into this stuff around 2005, being intoxicated regularly (marihuana). What a waste of time. Anyway, I remember Icke plugging this fellow Credo Mutwa [1], some kind of shaman from South-Africa. The name sticked with me, cause I'm Dutch, and Mutwa kinda sounds like ' moet wa(t)' which in my mind jokingly meant "he's gotta earn a livin' somehow".

All kidding aside, lunatics. Just reading his Wikipedia page (I'll plug it once more [1]) sheds enough light in the BS. Though, as long as you take it for what it is (fiction, comedy, propaganda?) its all good entertainment. Problem is, for most followers, it isn't entertainment... there's probably hordes of people not using safe medication, birth control, vaccines because of fellows like this :-(
