I guess it all started about a year ago. As part of my duties tracking conspiracy sites for my Illuminati Masters, I started noticing that Alex Jones was ranting more and more frequently against the transhumanists and singularitarians. Now, my job with Illuminati Central is fairly simply. I track the conspiracy sites and warn the […]
