Suck it proles, I’m a 1 percenter now!
Seems legit!
You’d think the Illuminati would have their own domain.
They, I mean we, secretly own all domains anyway, so whatever.
How can I join?
I don’t know yet how or why I got this invitation. Maybe it’s my 15 year anniversary of joining the SDMB?
You’re already a member.
I’m guessing they are based in Nigeria?
It’s totally legit, the timestamp proves it:
Cite: 333 is a magic number. (No, seriously – it’s what “they” believe.)
I got the same email today but it also came with a warning that it may be about stealing information or spam. Pretty typical of that sort of thing. If you go to the website wakegov.com, it is a city based website for Raleigh, NC. The response email is an outlook.com that you are supposed to reply to. I am not aware that an ultra-secret society such as Illuminati sends out such emails blatantly in the first place.
They don’t. The email is secret Illuminati code for MAKE HER SQUEAL LIKE A BUNNY, ENLARGE YOUR PENIS NOW!!!
Does the invitation still come with moose tracks ice cream?
I mean…sounds fun! I’d definitely join if I…were…invited.
No-no-no…that’s not the Illuminati!
That’s the Loyal Order Of Moose!
Ignore this, RevTim - if you have to send all your passwords and banking information to Nigeria to get into the Illuminati, it’s totally worth it.
I thought my charter membership to the SDMB carried reciprocal membership with the Illuminati. WTF? 
It didn’t for you?

CARRIER LOST
My bad. I get my secret society memberships confused. Too many of them use the same logo on the letterhead.
Since no one will take this post seriously, I can tell you the truth*:
There are four levels of secrecy to what you colloquially call “the Illuminati”. First there are the national security apparatuses like the CIA and NSA that are publicly known, but have classified agendas. Then there are the really secret intelligence agencies that use the first level as fronts. Then there are the ancient orders that secretly control the intelligence agencies, and through them national governments. Above them are the Old Ones, the less said the better. It’s inferred that beyond even that is something known only as The Next Level a.k.a. The Unknowable- which sure enough no one knows anything about.
I am reasonably certain that NONE of these would notify you by email.
