<br> I find it plainly inconcievable, that certain people stillpost here on a regular basis, attempting to insist that their is no such thing as "the illuminati", or a system of order which governs the major shit thats going down on this Earth.<br><br> Shame on them is my best guess. Or perhaps they just got so involved in denying such a beast, that to turn round and accept the reality of this beast now, would be a dagger to their intellectual heart.<br><br> But of course, weve all been there. <p></p><i></i>
