00:00The whole principle of the secret society lies in its name.
00:02It is usually an esoteric organization that welcomes members,
00:06and the members in question must keep the organization and its activities secret.
00:10Today there are all kinds of secret societies,
00:12and they are described as fraternities by some, and as sects by others.
00:16Freemasonry, the best known, the Illuminati, the most mysterious,
00:19or even Scientology, the most bling bling.
00:22Because yes, the term sect is often associated with certain secret societies.
00:26It evokes psychological constraint, manipulation.
00:29Today we are almost certain that Freemasonry is not a sect,
00:32because it is difficult to get in, but very easy to get out.
00:35Then it no longer has many secrets, and today we know a lot about this organization.
00:39On the other hand, Scientology is considered a sect,
00:42who manipulates and enslaves its members.
00:44In Europe, the Church of Scientology is considered a sect,
00:47and was convicted in particular of involuntary manslaughter, following a suicide.
00:51Look, really, this is ridiculous, this is absolutely ridiculous.
01:00Many investigations point in this direction, and many documentaries demonstrate it.
01:03In particular, one of the most successful, I find, Going Clear,
01:06which involves eight former Scientologists who make some rather shocking revelations
01:10on the functioning of this organization.
01:12But here, I am talking about the most famous ones.
01:13There are obviously other secret societies,
01:15like Student Fraternities, in particular, on American campuses,
01:18which, like the organizations mentioned above, will evolve enormously around different rites,
01:22which notably allow integration into these fraternities.
01:25The School and Bonds is probably the best known, but we'll come back to that.
01:28We also have criminal organizations, different mafias, terrorist movements.
01:32And finally, we can also integrate the intelligence services,
01:35who remain very discreet about their operation.
01:37So it's a very broad range, and all these mysteries will inevitably raise certain questions,
01:41and will fuel various conspiracy theories, particularly on the Internet,
01:44where some associate these organizations with various major events in human history.
01:49Sites also inspired in spite of themselves by fiction,
01:51who will have a field day putting the principle of the conspiracy into pictures.
01:55Obviously, it helps to create good scenarios.
