Today, the Illuminati is commonly used as a term to describe the power of the elite, a relatively small group of plutocrats who together own and rule our world. The exact number of people in this group and how much influence they have over the affairs of the world is difficult to determine, for it all may just be fake, but the existence of this ruling class is generally accepted on both ends of the political spectrum. This well organized super class tends to work toward their own common interest, whether or not if they benefit the future of our society. This shadowy group is at the core of modern Illuminati conspiracy theories. The group corresponds with the Occupy movement, a grass root organization born in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, which is called the One Percent (1%). Christian fundamentalists and UFO profiteers often add their own twists and turns, including the usual rumors of blood sacrifices and Satan worship, making the use of the term Illuminati to become quite ambiguous
