5. The Illuminati
If you’re going to have a New World Order, then you’ll need to have someone to rule them all. So, who do most conspiracy theory fans believe is behind it all? The Illuminati, of course. If it’s not them, then it must be some other secret group that may or may not exist. All things considered, if it’s an “invisible” group that’s taking over control, it could very well already be happening. Of course, that means the whole “taking down state borders” part has been forgone, but it would be smarter this way anyway.
The Illuminati are believed to have survived their “dark ages,” the times when they were suppressed by the government, and continued on in secret past the late 1700s. They are even believed to have been behind historic events such as the French Revolution and others, wreaking havoc to suit their purposes. Of course, since there is no proof that the Illuminati even exist anymore, it seems to be a bit far-fetched that they’d be behind the New World Order too. This is, however, one of the 8 conspiracy theories about the New World Order that we’re looking at today.
