re: Does anyone here actually believe in the Illuminati?

What you have to consider is that these people (old families like Rothschilds) are humans, flesh and blood just like us. Think about how our families operate. Some cousins are frick ups. Some do well for themselves. Do you maintain ties with cousins separated over generations because your great great great great great great great grandfathers were brothers? Does this even make sense? People don't operate like that.
