Awesome article! I've known about most of what you listed though the format you presented everything in makes it for a "money origin/elite/illuminati/human atrocity/commentary micro-encyclopedia" of sorts, which is great. I've often wondered if the Illuminati and the power that holds the elites together, by this I refer to the power that we allow them to have, is but a farce. Much akin to a concocted story that has spread for so long and so deep that most everyone has truly been hoodwinked. Hmm, I may write an article on this topic lol. Anyway, great article!
