On 12 February 2018, multiple tabloids including the British Daily Mail published a story reporting that former Canadian defense minister Paul Hellyer said that the Illuminati were not only real but suppressing exotic technology from extraterrestrials that could solve climate change. Daily Mail reported: You wouldn't know it from the tabloid headlines, but this is hardly breaking news. Hellyer, who did serve as Canadian defense minister in the 1960s, has been on the record making these types of comments for years. In fact a simple web search of his name reveals that news stories about Hellyer's outlandish theory appear with some frequency and they rarely veer off the same theme -- aliens have visited Earth and are hiding key technology from humans because they believe we are too destructive and irresponsible. Daily Mail has previously published at least two nearly identical stories about Hellyer's alien conspiracy theory: one in 2011 and another in 2014. Repetition doesn't make Hellyer's theories true, however, regardless of his former title. The Illuminati conspiracy theory is a long standing and pervasive yarn in which a secretive global cabal aiming to form an autocratic single world government pulls the strings and is behind basically every major event. Although the idea that aliens have visited Earth is favored among UFO enthusiasts self-proclaimed abductees, scientists haven't found evidence that intelligent extraterrestrial life exists, let alone any that have visited Earth and judged humans beneath them.
