What Is The Illuminati? Yahoo Posts Alleged List Of Celebrities Who Rep The Occult Sign And More Conspiracy Theories [PHOTOS]You’ve heard the rumors for years, and thanks to newly generated buzz, the gossip continues about celebrities and “the Illuminati.”On Monday, Yahoo News posted a story with photographic “proof” of celebrities that have raised suspicions about their connections to the secretive group. From Jay Z and wife Beyonce, to Madonna, Lindsay Lohan and Rihanna, the story included photos of the stars holding the “secret Illuminati symbol,” or holding a triangle shape with their thumbs and forefingers in the air.

In the “expose,” Yahoo News, which boasts 8. There is a part of the world that believes certain famous faces yield more power than others. This power, they believe, stems from the backing of an ancient German secret society that quietly rules the world: the Illuminati (yes, the same group Tom Hanks sought in ‘Angels & Demons’). The mysterious sect is thought to be a front for the rise of the Antichrist — the Devil's all- seeing eye triangle is their universal sign — and is often accused of masterminding large- scale events (think President JFK's assassination) in an attempt to establish a New World Order, in which they can rule.”The story has been making the rounds and rousing interest in fans, who have posted more than 3,0. Yahoo said the following celebrities were part of the Illuminati: Lindsay Lohan, Jay Z, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Madonna, Kanye West, Ke$ha, Kim Kardashian and Le.

Bron James. While some news outlets like The Guardian laughed about the report, the buzz has also generated a curiosity in the Illuminati itself. The group is an alleged conspiratorial organization which reportedly mastermind events and control world affairs – from “finance and government to religion and culture” – to establish a “New World Order.” This “New World Order,” or “a one- world authoritarian government,” finds a way to link these alleged famous celebrities to the likes of the Pope and even Queen Elizabeth II. But according to The Liberty Voice, none of the celebrities outed by Yahoo, or anyone for that matter, are actually part of the Illuminati—because it does not exist.“No stars are members of the Illuminati because an organized and powerful group such as this cannot, does not, and will never exist.

What does exist is normal, otherwise rational human beings with a propensity toward natural brain processes to find patterns and meanings in random events that are not actually connected. This phenomenon is called ‘confirmation bias,’ or, looking for evidence that confirms the theory one wants to be true.”The newspaper continued: “Today’s modern ‘Illuminati’ is nothing more than a racist, anti- Semitic, and sometimes paranoid version of an unreachable fantasy; a societal meme that has taken hold in a portion of the population so strongly that now even reputable companies like Yahoo are feeding into the hysteria.”The Liberty Voice rationalized the hand symbol frequently used by celebrities could, instead, indicate a connection or in support of Jay Z, who used the Illuminati symbol to promote his record company, Roc A Fella Records. Of course, this isn’t the first time Illuminati rumors have swirled in tinsel town, particularly with Jay Z and Beyonce. When their daughter, Blue Ivy, was born in January 2. Illuminati. According to theories on Twitter, Blue Ivy is a reworking of the name Eulb Yvi, which many conspiracy theorists allege is the name of Satan's daughter. Others went as far to add the numbers which the letters fall on in the alphabet to somehow get 6. Illuminati. The rumors not only swirled about the power couple’s offspring, but the matriarch herself.

Many believed that Beyonce flashed the Illuminati triangle during her 2. Super Bowl halftime show with Destiny’s Child, while others believed it was merely a way to support her rapper husband’s record label. Most recently, the Internet put forth a theory that the 2. Kardashian Christmas Card, a yearly tradition from the Kardashian- Jenner family, was a nod to the Illuminati, thanks to the pyramid image in the background. However, no celebrity or public figure has ever addressed rumors of the Illuminati or their connection—or lack thereof—to the secret group.

Experts From 2. 6 Countries Ask UN to Ban Fully Autonomous Weapons Systems. Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Google AI expert Mustafa Suleyman are among 1. United Nations asking it to ban autonomous weapons worldwide, warning killer robots could usher in an unprecedented new era of deadly warfare. The group warned the UN’s Convention on Conventional Weapons review conference that “Once developed, lethal autonomous weapons will permit armed conflict to be fought at a scale greater than ever, and at timescales faster than humans can comprehend,” the Guardian reported.“These can be weapons of terror, weapons that despots and terrorists use against innocent populations, and weapons hacked to behave in undesirable ways,” the letter continued. We do not have long to act. Once this Pandora’s box is opened, it will be hard to close.”“Unlike other potential manifestations of AI which still remain in the realm of science fiction, autonomous weapons systems are on the cusp of development right now and have a very real potential to cause significant harm to innocent people along with global instability,” Clearpath Robotics founder Ryan Gariepy told the Guardian. The signatories said they want lethal autonomous systems that can make their own independent decisions to kill to be added to the 1. Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, which banned or restricted land mines, chemical incendiaries and blinding lasers, among other weapons.

Their letter will be launched at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, which kicks off in Melbourne on August 2. Musk has been particularly outspoken on the topic, though his fixation has generally been the idea that artificially intelligent robots pose an existential risk to the future of the human species.

This letter is a little more down to earth, seeing as remotely controlled weapons like Predator drones are already in widespread use, and some fully autonomous weapons like aircraft carrier missile defense systems have already been developed. On the South Korean side of the DMZ, fortifications include Samsung’s SGR- A1 sentry gun, which likely includes autonomous capability. Machines already control much of the decision- making process in warfare (for example, helping troops to identify targets), and are poised to take over even more of it. So in other words, fears of a potential Skynet scenario are not a prerequisite for concerns about whether merciless robots could make the world of the future a nastier, less stable place.

Take for example the escalation of drone wars under the Barack Obama administration. While the White House could have ordered the military to kill thousands of people in the Middle East, Afghanistan and North Africa with conventional jets, there’s little doubt that the physical and emotional distance  of having remotely piloted Predator drones carry out the assassinations was a key factor to the program’s eventual scale. Simpsons Episode 3 Season 7. Law enforcement use of lethal robots is potentially just as concerning; last year, Dallas police took out a barricaded mass shooter with a bomb on a robot.

As the Guardian noted, numerous fully autonomous systems which could make killing even more convenient than RC vehicles are being worked on now. Those include the UK’s Taranis Drone and the US’ Sea Hunter warship, as well as autonomous versions of Russia’s Uran- 9 armored vehicle. None of them have terrifying steel skulls with glowing red eyes like the robots from Terminator, but they all carry a lot more weaponry than one of those things, too.[Guardian].
