TheIlluminati
CurrentThe Origin Story
TheIlluminati combines an eye inside a triangle with an unfinished pyramid, the same basic arrangement seen on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States. The Great Seal design was settled in 1782 with a 13-step unfinished pyramid topped by the Eye of Providence, a symbol that was already older than the modern conspiracy stories attached to it.
The historical Bavarian Illuminati was a real Enlightenment-era secret society founded by Adam Weishaupt in 1776, but the eye-and-pyramid image was not its historical emblem. Later conspiracy culture fused the Eye of Providence, pyramids and secret-society stories together, producing the `Illuminati confirmed` visual language that the Twitch command uses for jokes about hidden connections.
How to Use It
Viewers type TheIlluminati for parody conspiracy theories, suspicious coincidences, triangle or pyramid imagery and jokes that pretend an ordinary detail proves a secret plan.
