The Illuminati I think is the way some people try to personify or "put a face" to corruption. There isn't some all powerful force at work but rather a series of corrupt forces that act independently of one another. People prone to believing in conspiracy theories try to find connections where none exist and thus end up with conjecture. Humans are inherenlty self-interested so corruption is the natural result when you give someone enough power to satiate their desires without concern for ideal. To follow this idea to its logical conclusion, I don't think any such group could exist, because it would consist of a group of seriously toxic individuals who would end up trying to back stab one another into absolute power. Seeing as there is no supreme ruler of the world and how the elements needed to attain such power are too far spread to be concentrated, it seems to be highly improbable.
saying the illuminati doesn't exist is like saying the jews don't exist........ they do
but the rumors about them are blown so far out of proportion that most peoples definitions about them are skewed, alot of this ironically comes from the nazis who declared the illuminati "enemies of the state" and wrote alot of propaganda against them saying they were the reason everything in the world is so wrong, and evil.
