I've heard that term -- "illuminati." It has to do with the kind of things that Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code) writes about, right?
I enjoyed listening to Michael Trudeau but I found him to be sort of "apocalyptic!" His theory definitely had a tone of "conspiracy theory" to it, though on the other hand it sounds like he's trying to get his message across about something he feels is important. I kind of wish there were a forum on Cure Zone to talk about money issues and alternatives. I think that would be really interesting! Maybe I'll suggest it.
There's also an interview with Michael Trudeau on a radio program called "for a closer look." If you google "michael trudeau" and "4 a closer look" you can find it.
