The world has been secretly ruled by a sexy secret society for a very very long time and everything that you know it's a lie. The media and all the big name celebrities are in on it and the goal is to control the world by controlling your mind. Who are the real puppet masters? Who Built the pyramids? What is the end goal to all of this? Those are questions that the world was never supposed to know, until now.
