How whacked has the internet become?

Invitation to join

A series of Instagram stories posted by a Singaporean man showed an alleged member of the Illuminati recruiting for fresh meat.

The conversation, in which the Singaporean was happily trolling along, ended with the "high chief priest" of the organisation asking for a a blood oath to be videoed and sent over.

The entire exchange was then posted to Dayre by another user.

The "recruitment drive" started on Instagram, where an @anthony_owen_illuminati promised wealth and fame if you texted him back:

Side note: We checked out the dude's Instagram account:

It features a man with cars and money, but we're not sure why he promises fame but has only 117 followers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, our Singaporean target played along and indicated his willingness to sign up:

That when he was redirected to their "high chief priest" on WhatsApp:

"Be careful the way you utter a word," yeah:

After introducing the Singaporean to the Illuminati, the high chief priest (HCP) explained that members will get US$50,000, a car, a free house anywhere in the world, and USD$45,000 monthly as part of their benefits:

The HCP then goes on to reassure the potential member, "We don't kill people." Ok, good to know we guess.

At this point we should really applaud the Singaporean for his role-playing. Asking all the important questions right there:

After asking the potential recruit to choose from wealth, fame, power, and money, HCP states the terms and conditions of being a member:

And that includes wearing a black apparel no less than three times a week.

Besides terms and conditions, there are also rules that one must follow:

And the HCP even ended the T&Cs with a black triangle.

After more trolling from our Singaporean counterpart, the HCP asks him to take an eternal oath, which consists of cutting your middle finger and rubbing the blood on your head, followed chanting "Illuminati" seven times:

The wannabe member should also send a WhatsApp voice note of the eternal oath — and the Singaporean really did:

But sadly, our guy couldn't join in the end because he couldn't cut himself :'( :

"Very sad. Take care bro."

And that appears to be the end of the conversation.

Background on the Illuminati

If you're not getting the hoo-ha, here's some background info on the Illuminati.

The Illuminati was reportedly a secret society that started in the late 18th century to oppose injustice and abuse of power in the enlightenment era. It apparently counts many influential intellectuals and politicians among its ranks.

In modern times, the organisation exists as a conspiracy theory that allegedly tries to control world affairs by planting masterminds in government, corporations, and the entertainment industry.

However, it has no proven links to the original Illuminati.

The Illuminati is frequently associated with triangles, which is why audiences sometimes outline triangle shapes in popular culture and media to (jokingly) perpetuate the theory.
