Sourcing

The only current source now opens to a login page, presumably - for NYT's online archive. --ZooGuard (talk) 16:31, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes. I will need to find better sources.--Colonel Sanders (talk) 17:44, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Illumianti

I remember one instance of CNN mentioning "The Illuminati of our government" or something like that, but I don't remember what they were reporting on.--サトセレ (talk) 15:33, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Never mind it was CNBC

"Why won't you buy into my needlessly elaborate conspiracy theory, I just posted specious evidence!" Ikanreed (talk) 17:32, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Did you even WATCH the video?--67.5.250.119 (talk) 20:02, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

he said the Illuminati are controlling the media! "The Illuminati of the media"!--67.5.250.119 (talk) 00:38, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

It's called a metaphor. Marlow (talk) 00:45, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Curious: Metaphor for what?--67.5.250.119 (talk) 00:50, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

This guy, whoever he is, talking about the 2008 bank bailout orchestrated by Hank Paulson and Ben Bernancke. Paulson is the former CEO of Goldman Sachs so the idea of conflict of interest isn't much a stretch. He's comparing the close and possibly conspiritorial relationship between the government planners of the Emergency Economic Stabilization act and the banking industry which they were saving to the cultural trope of the Illuminati. You'll notice he uses the idiom "if you will" to make it clear that he's not actually talking about some real secret society. Collusion between bankers and government officials is very real. The Illuminati, at least since the end of the 18th century. Marlow (talk) 01:02, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I am convinced.--67.5.250.119 (talk) 01:29, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Ok, CNN is now supporting Conspiracy Theories.
