Our country today is under a lot of turmoil, in the case of the world in some parts, literally. From natural devastations to terrorist attacks, wars and the downturn of our economy, some people think we need change. Thus, the reason for the election of our 44th president, Barack Obama. Some think all these things that are happening around us today are getting us ready for our lord savior to rise again. Some think that a lot of these short comings have been a conspiracy. Our governments manipulating and making it hard for us to where we would have to depend on the need of other countries to stay afloat. They are trying to come to a consensus and get ready for a New World Order. There are born leaders and then you have people who are just full of greed. From the 1700s to now, there has always been talk of these conspirators who plan to rule the world to take over the use of money, religion and the government. These so-called conspirators have been linked to secret societies throughout time, mainly Freemasons and the Illuminati. Their symbols have structured our government. Political leaders who are members and have ties to these societies have spoken of this New World Order over the past two centuries.
The Freemasons began as members of craft guilds who united into lodges in England in the early 1700s.They practiced religious tolerance, the equality of their male peers and the themes of classical liberalism and the enlightenment (“The Illuminati”10). Its members were no secret and could be named and found. Our first president was a Mason. Today Freemasonry still holds to the same extent it did when they started. They have initially added to their roster education, humanitarianism, networking for business leaders and charity event...

Another popular conspiracy theory contains the Illuminati society. The Order of the Illuminati was an Enlightenment-age secret society founded by university professor Adam Weishaupt on May 1, 1776, in Upper Bavaria, Germany. The movement consisted of advocates of freethought, secularism, liberalism, republicanism, and gender equality. In 1785, the order was infiltrated, broken up and suppressed by the government agents of Charles Theodore, However, there is no evidence that the Bavarian Illuminati survived its suppression in 1785 (“History of Beliefs”, 2006).

Most Americans have probably only heard of a small fraction the many African countries, and even less have heard of the tiny country of Sierra Leone, and most likely do not know anything about it. Those people are missing out on knowing all of the vibrant culture the country has to offer. And the glue that holds the cultures together is the Secret Societies of Sierra Leone, who created all the traditions that are in place today. Secret Societies were always a part of the Mende people’s culture and have influenced the entire country in many ways.These secret societies are just as mysterious as they are well known, and have existed for over a thousand years, but people still know so little about them today.
In order to know what the Freemasons might have planned or hidden in the city layout and buildings for Washington D.C. we have to look at where they came from. The Freemasons are the largest and oldest fraternity in the world, being founded in London in 1717. Its members range from presidents, senators, businessmen, ministers, and even common labors. Although they started as a guild in the mid 15th century building cathedrals, they later had to prove their skills and were given a secret handshake and were taught the tricks of the trade. This allowed the Freemasons to move freely from job to job and the handshake acted as a resume to prove their allegiance and skill level. With America being a place of freedom to express yourself, Freemasonry became very popular. In the 1820’s, Freemasonry exploded in the United States. There are roughly 6 million members currently today with 3 million in the United States. As someone advances in Freemasonry they learn secrets of the universe. They take some of these secre...

The Mafia was first started in the ninth century, in Sicily. At this time, Arab forces were occupying Sicily. The natives were being oppressed, so they took refuge in the surrounding hills and formed a secret society to protect against the foreign invaders. This secret society was named Mafia, after the Arabic word for refuge. The society's intentions were to create a sense of family, based on ancestry and Sicilian heritage.
The Mafia is a secret criminal organization that has great economic and political control over large parts of Sicilian society and operates both criminal and legitimate enterprises in the United States. It is believed to have started during Sicily's late Middle Ages, beginning as separate bonds of strong-arm enforcers hired by local landowners. It eventually evolved into a network of independent groups governing in rural areas. With the Sicilian immigration of the late 19th century, the Mafia began to operate in several large United States cities. During the period of Prohibition it monopolized the trade in bootleg liquor and controlled loan sharking, gambling, and prostitution. Competing Mafia families established mutually recognized territories, reaching agreement by negotiation or by intimidation. By the mid-1930 the Mafia had taken on the institutionalized structure that is now typical of organized crime in the United States.
Organized crime has always been occupied with a negative label. Perhaps this is due to the constantly changing environment in America as well as the social state of its homeland, Europe. Our society is convinced that the so-called Mafia is a family of pure criminals, pimps, and murderers. Whatever the opinion, there is no doubt that the Mafia played a big part in the history of America and the way Americans view crime today. "The origins of the secret society known as the Mafia are believed to be as old as the 9th century" (Mafia History). During the 9th century, the Mafia's main purpose was to strengthen themselves against enemies, which invaded their homeland in Sicily. It was supposed to create a strong feeling of togetherness between all Sicilians. "This idea of family was carried through in the structure of the organization, which had a strong hierarchical layout" (Mafia History). The Mafia is said by many to have perhaps the best system of power, than any other group or government known today. One can compare a physical representation of the family almost to a family tree dated all the way back through many generations. Certain people operated the system, but without the help of the people with the less power, the Mafia would be very weak. To put it another way, a leader cannot lead without followers, and the followers cannot follow without leaders. This is why the Mafia was hard to overcome. Although when many think of the location of the Mafia, Chicago and New York often come to mind, but actually the Mafia has been traced back through 26 major cites in America. Within every city were many Mafia families each with it?s own government. "At the head of each family stood the Dons or Bosses. Next in line to the Dons was the Underbosses, who were second in command. Followed by the Consigliere or counselors. And last were the men who did the dirty work for the Mob, the Soldiers. The Soldiers were the one?s who would enforce discipline over both members and non-members through the use of intimidation, assaults, and murder" (Living Large 3). All the members of the society were expected to go through a ceremony that often was compared to the baptism ceremony. "The induction ceremony is the most important day of a mobster?s life, the day that they become full members of La Cosa Nostra" (Mafia Life). "The ceremony for the newcomers was som...
Looking back into the past, our four fathers first started the conspiracy of a new one world order through a secret society known as the Masonic Brotherhood. Before the Masons there was the Illuminati who introduced their ideas into the Masonic brotherhood before being disbanded in the 1780’s. However, the illuminati did not disband but simply went underground. There are several important members of the government involved in the New World Order according to Masonic records. Not only are government personnel involved but important figures in the media with high influence as well. From George Washington, Rockefeller Industries, and even the Federal Reserve.

The Illuminati has several different definitions. The Illuminati is described by Seth Payson as an institution whose “plan and object” was the “overthrow of all religion, and all government.” According to Websters Dictionary, “the Illuminati is a group of people who have or profess to have special intellectual or spiritual enlightenment.” It also states in another definition that “it is various societies, usually secret, composed of such people.” In Jesse Ventura’s documentary called Conspiracy Theory, Anthony Hilder explains how he believes the Illuminati is a secret organization that has ...
When the term “Globalization” is discussed, most academics, scholars, professionals and intellectuals attempt to define and interpret it in a summarized fashion. My main concern with this approach is that one cannot and should not define a process that altered decades of history and continues to, in less than 30 words. Global Shift is a book with remarkable insight. Peter Dicken rather than attempting to define the commonly misused word, explains Globalization in a clear and logical fashion, which interconnects numerous views. Dicken takes full advantage of his position to write and identify the imperative changes of political, economic, social, and technological dimensions of globalization.

In this essay I will give a detailed explanation of what sociologists mean by the term ‘globalisation’ and how they have tried to explain it.
Did you know that the Illuminati originated around the 1760s. A Freemason named Adam Weishaupt started it all by himself. The Illuminati’s ultimate goal is to make the world all one big government and one big religion (religion is allegedly known to be Scientific). The hopes were for the borders around each country, state, et cetera to be diminished. They have been pursuing their goal since the French Revolution. The ‘International Bankers’ helped finance the Illuminati so they could start the path iwhich was their main goal. (Ellis-Christensen)
