The people like John up there may be right but then again they never give anything to DISprove it either so I believe them as much as I believe the authors of this video. No one knows the truth.

Nobody placed such bets. There is no evidence. It's illegal anyway. What a pathetic video. I don't, as Homer Simpson says: "Find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter." LOL

Most conspiracy theorists are basically evolutionary dead-ends. I've heard this B.S. before and just after 9-11. On September 12th 2001 some of my college pals and their professors commended al qaeda's beautifully executed plan, as if mass murder were such an impressive spectacle! They also had the usual list of conspiracy theories. All their ridiculous "beliefs" preceded 9-11 or investigations into it. It's sad to see college students & professors with no real understanding of OBJECTIVITY.

I'd also heard similar conspiracies well before 9-11. The usual crap: Mossad and the CIA and the "Big Evil Corporations" were responsible et. It's a sad excuse for a human being that outright believes this without any attempt to investigate themselves.

I'm grateful those few people will never have the ability to change the world in any significant way. It's not that hard to plot the course of their lives when they have no real research skills, no investigative skills, no objectivity, and no sound methodology. Just the NEED to believe a conspiracy which precedes any evidence. I've heard these things ASSERTED by nut-bars over an over again, but with no real evidence: "There are no remains of the crashed airplanes at all. Those people were all murdered by their government" etc. It's an INSULT to the memory of those murdered if you only assert such things but have absolutely no way of proving it.

ILLUMINATI, a name given by the Ante-Nicene ChurchFathers to those who submitted to Christian baptism (Gr. phiomegatauiotasigmamuomicronvarsigma, ``illumination'').They were called ``illuminati'' (phiomegatauiotasigmamuomicroniota), or ``illuminated ones,''on the assumption that those who were instructed for baptism in the Apostolic faith had received thegrace of illumination in an enlightened understanding. Clement of Alexandria speaks thus of such baptismallight: ``This is the one grace of illumination, that our characters are not the same as before ourwashing. And since knowledge springs up with illumination, shedding its beams around the mind, themoment we hear, we who were untaught become disciples. ... This work is called ... illumination bywhich that holy light of salvation is beheld, that is, by which we see God clearly.''

Among the societies subsequently adopting the name ``illuminati''were the Alumbrados or Alombrados, a mystical sect existing in Spain from the early 16thcentury and appearing in France as the Guerinets during the period from 1623 to 1635. Later, the title``illuminati' ' was adopted by a secret society founded by Adam Weishaupt, [Jewish] professor of canonlaw at Ingolstadt, on May 1, 1776, with the aim of combating religionand fostering rationalism.
