The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist" 🤗

BBC, a front for Illuminati is making a video to prove people are not Illuminati

This video is a joke to me

It’s scary how there’s less artist who worked to be an artist while the others sold their soul and came out of no where and became famous.

I remember when people would say "if any of this conspiracy stuff is true, why are you able to see it all here on youtube? wouldn't it be silenced". And now youtube hides all of that content

They are not just simply having fun they are sending messages with symbols to influence people, especially the young ones.

Love how the bbc have to do a video on this to try debunk it

[SpaceMonkey]

Thanks for producing this video, BBC. I know I can always watch an episode of your propaganda and be perfectly informed, provided I believe the exact opposite of everything you say. 👍

This video is just a cover up so we think its a conspiracy

[immortalsoul]

Someone: Does Illuminati exist?
Illuminati: No, no we don't

[franknilop]

Ah, yes, the mainstream media would never lie

[hkhzcnv]

It’s not a conspiracy theory...it’s just a fact

[williamjames]

For believers in this theory: why do you get so defensive and call people "sheep" if they try to debunk it?

"Truth doesn't mind being questioned. A lie does."

[willissudweeks]

You making an attempt to make this seem silly and Science Fiction is just calling you out further.
