Skeptic Project

I'll go through and add timestamps.

1:35 "So it makes perfect sense that Beyonce would flash (the Illuminati's) triangle sign to one of the largest viewing audiences in human history." Firstly, the Illuminati doesn't exist, but debunking them is beyond the scope of this comment. Even if they were real, why would Beyonce flash their sign on national Television? To show allegiance? If she wanted to show her allegiance to the Illuminati, why wouldn't she just tell them that in a secret meeting of some sort? Besides, if the TV audience are all sheeple, what good would flashing the Illuminati's symbol be, other than ruffling conspiracy theorists' feathers?

As it turns out, the "Illuminati symbol" was just a dance move taken out of context. You can see it in this">http://youtu.be/kKVorba5GLs?t=8m16s">this video.

1:46 This part just reviews the Illuminati theory in brief. As I have said before, the Illuminati isn't real. It's beyond the scope of this comment to fully debunk the Illuminati, but basically the entire theory is based on speculation, and there's no real evidence to back it up.

2:57 "(Baphomet) is the idol that the American people, during the Superbowl halftime show, are being told to worship." Madonna only vaguely resembles Baphomet, in that she has horns on her head (although they're more accurately described a spires that are part of a crown, which don't even look like Baphomet's horns in the drawing) and she makes a hand gesture that's the same as Baphomet's making in the drawing. She doesn't resemble him in any other way (if she really wanted to look like him, she'd be topless). Even if she were dressed like Baphomet, there's still no evidence that she's telling people to worship Baphomet. But does that stop Infowars from blabbing about it? Of course not.

3:21 "Baphomet has been prominently featured in her videos and album artwork, and (Beyonce) and she even wears a Baphomet ring." I searched for pictures of Beyonce's "Baphomet ring," and none of them were large or clear enough to actually make out what the ring is. It kind of looks like Baphomet's head, but there are a million other things it could be, as well. A blurry picture of a ring that could be several things isn't conclusive evidence that Beyonce is a Satanist. As for her album artwork, she is wearing a shirt with a steer skull on it. There's nothing to suggest that this is Baphomet's head. Think about it this way: if I wear a shirt with a cow skull printed on it, does that mean that my religion is Satanism? No.

3:39 "But if this symbol is a diamond and not a pyramid, why are he, Beyonce, and other stars seen looking through it with one eye?" Because of the camera angle. If the camera were straight in front of them, you'd see them looking through it with both eyes. If it were more tilted, you wouldn't be able to tell they were looking through their hands at all. This begs the question: "Why are they looking through their hands at all if it's not an Illuminati symbol?" Try making the symbol with your hands right now. Now, when you made the symbol, were you looking at it? You probably were. Why? It's natural for us to look at what we're doing. If all of our attention is focused on making a hand movement, why would you be looking away from it?

4:28 "-that has a backwards message in it, and we had to reverse the song, and play the song backwards. (plays song) (unintelligible) murder murder Jesus (unintelligible)" I'd have to know what song this is from and reverse it myself to know if this is real or not. Even if it is real, I think anyone who tries to murder Jesus will have a difficult time doing so, since he died 2000 years ago. It's pretty silly.

I've got to stop here tonight; I'll try to finish debunking tomorrow. If anyone else wants to pick up where I left off, or if they want to expand on something I skimmed over or missed, feel free to do so.

Historically there was an Illuminati that was formed by Adam Weishaupt. They were deemed dangerous/evil/devil worshippers/what have you for mostly being irreligious, questioning god, etc. Weishaupt set up the Illuminati so that freethinkers could gather and exchange ideas without being persecuted by the government and church (monarchical government). They were also in favor of a republic as opposed to monarchies, which is hilarious to see CT'ers like Alex Jones get their undies in bunch over them! They were found and broke apart by the church 15 years post founding.
