3. The Illuminati Controls World Governments (Myth)
The belief that the Illuminati manipulates global politics is a prevalent conspiracy theory. However, FactCheck.org and political historians have debunked such claims, citing a lack of verifiable evidence. For instance, a false claim about the absence of a flag above the White House was circulated, suggesting military control, but it was promptly debunked. Similarly, baseless claims about mail-in ballots being illegitimate were also refuted (factcheck.org). These instances highlight the importance of critically evaluating such conspiracy theories.
