The Illuminati, powers that be & New World Order explained

Basically, the central banks, along with the United States Federal Reserve, control most of the world's governments through money, especially with loans and usury. 

Furthermore, the military-industrial complex and Israeli-American Public Affairs Committee  (just like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in real life) control both the government and mainstream media of the United States of America, perhaps the single most powerful country in the world, which is part of the reason why the U.S. government is so warmongering and the American people so ignorant.

By extension, the education system of the U.S.A., among other places in the world, teach obedience and the version of history that fits government agendas, leaving the populace to not take their freedoms seriously, be ignorant, and having a suppressed sense of self-responsibility.

When it comes to religion, in the United States of America since the 20th century, Evangelical Christianity is promoted to not only make Americans support Israel on a hard to brake religious basis, but also, promote heard mentality to give them a reason for war against the supposed "Muslim world", and to concentrate on minor social issues.

This leaves many of them to be slaves either to the military or mega corporations that influence government to create bad regulatory policies to smother the competition.

In the middle east, starting during the cold war, powerful Saudis and the CIA setup madrassa schools to radicalise the muslim world, supposedly to fight atheist communists. 
But, when communism died, Islamism did not. Wahabi Islam is little more than a political ideology with a religious theme. The military-industrial complex got the U.S. government to keep supporting religious fanatics becuase religious fanatics buying weapons & military equipment makes more money for the military-industrial complex.

To fund all of this, the war on drugs was started to the CIA can get extra extra money from the drug trade.

So, the Illuminati, the powers that be, are the parties in control (central banks, Federal Reserve, military-industrial complex, and IAPAC), and the New World Order (debt, disinformation, division, wars of agression, and other crimes) are their actions.

Note to Israelis reading this:

I hate governments and ideologies, not entire countries, ethnicities or religious groups. I do NOT advocate for the destruction of countries simply for the actions of their governments, as that the majority of their populations are not in government.

If you do not stop your government's lust for power and the violence used to fuel it, eventually, your country may be destroyed by its own government becuase it didn't stop the wrong things that it was doing.
