Can this be debunked?
he has "Loot lice" in yuppy duckThe Scrooge McDuck one was discussed on ATS about a year ago - this post suggests that:
1/ Disney have a history of putting "easter eggs" in their programmes
2/ the context was that "The illuminati eye chart appears just as the doctors is telling him he has the sickness that effects bankers cashiers and millionaires" - the word actually develops during the cartoon - successive shots of the chart are apparently all different.
Can *what* be debunked? It depends what is being claimed based on these things. But also the claim could be so vague that no real evidence can be meaningfully presented either way and it comes down to belief that it's deliberate policy from a satanic cabal or just college humour from turned-on tricksters.Can this be debunked?
Looks like the eye chart was created in the late 1980s or early 1990s . . well before the internet was crazy with speculation about the illuminati . . . would be plausible to say it was intentional. . the only question would be Why?I've found this picture from a FB page: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...73741828.475928535837227&type=1&stream_ref=10

boredom?
the scenes are two distinct artists. their styles are dramatically different (as are both wall hangings). I think it says "Beagle boys" at the bottom though. not sure how that would tie into the illuminati, since I don't know much about them. the beagle boys are scrooge mcducks archenemy.
I'm going with easter egg or subliminal messaging from the anti-illuminati forces. http://www.trutv.com/conspiracy/in-the-shadows/subliminal_messaging/btk-killer-capture.html

I understand they did . . . I have been around since the 1950s myself but was too busy to know what the small conspiracy community thought about the illuminati . . . seems curious to me that a cartoonist in the 1980s would think it funny to put it in his drawing . . . I still ask. . . . what is the motivation? I don't have a clue . . .The Illuminati has been a counter-culture concept since the sixties.
People still managed to communicate ideas before the internet, believe it or not.

Interesting . . . I never read the series . . . But would probably have been interested in it if I knew it existed . . .One or more of the animators might have been following in the satirical footsteps of the conspiracy laden 'The Illuminatus! Trilogy'. It was published in '75, I remember reading it sometime in the early '90's.

Hmmmm . . . Wow! That would be rather difficult unless 10 year olds and their babysitters are your targets . . . not only that . . . it would have to communicate in almost subliminal fashion to be effective . . .Maybe he was a conspiracy theorist, and thought it was a good way of raising awareness?

External Quote:The earliest document accusing Freemasonry of being involved in a conspiracy was Enthüllungen des Systems der Weltbürger-Politik ("Disclosure of the System of Cosmopolitan Politics"), published in 1786.[29]The book claimed that there was a conspiracy of Freemasons, Illuminati and Jesuits who were plotting world revolution.[30] During the 19th Century, this theory was repeated by many Christian counter-revolutionaries,[31][32] who saw Freemasons as being behind every attack on the existing social system.[31][32]
The Illuminati game from Steve Jackson has been around since about 1982, and anyone who played it would be fairly familiar with the concepts. The game has a pretty humorous take on a lot of conspiracy theories, including the Illuminati. It's pretty fun to play, too, in that the rules encourage deception and underhanded dealing, so it can get quite meta.Maybe he was a conspiracy theorist, and thought it was a good way of raising awareness?
Hmmm . . . that makes more sense than raising awareness . . . but someone could get fired for something like that . . . but there is more evidence of that in the sexual references buried in other cartoons from Disney . . .College humour, inside joke.
Are words scribbled on a set decoration in a childrens' sitcom really the best effort of a supposedly all-powerful global cabal?External Quote:There's a common red flag shared by this particular conspiracy and many others, and that's the presumption that the conspirators chose to publicly announce their evil plans by putting all of this out there for everyone to see. That would be like Nixon, before Watergate, ordering a public mural to be placed in the hotel lobby showing GOP spies breaking into a room. Or Oliver North announcing his intentions by placing a sculpture in the National Mall showing himself handing a shoulder-fired missile launcher to an Iranian with one hand, and giving the proceeds to a Nicaraguan with the other.
External Quote:In general, The Illuminatus! Trilogy can be credited with popularizing the genre of conspiracy fiction,[44] a field later mined by authors like Umberto Eco (Foucault's Pendulum) and Dan Brown (Angels and Demons,The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol), comic book writers like Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, From Hell), Dave Sim (Cerebus) and Grant Morrison (The Invisibles), and screenwriters like Chris Carter (The X-Files) andDamon Lindelof (Lost).[45] In particular, the regular use of the Illuminati in popular culture as shadowy central puppet masters in this type of fiction can be traced back to their exposure via The Illuminatus! Trilogy.[46]
No, I think it more likely a joke or something like me carving that "I love Linda" in the bark of an old maple tree to immortalize the undying love for my childhood sweetheart . . .The chalkboard displays a few silly things in the episode. Written underneath a few historical items (Gettysburg Address, Magna Carta, Declaration of Independence) is Sam Walton destroys first town (a reference to Walmart) and then The Illuminati revealed. On the right hand side it does students the favor of announcing a pop quiz next Thursday, in advance.
That some people think this represents some sort nefarious or clandestine effort rather amuses me. It brings to mind what Brian Dunning wrote about this sort of "symbolism":

in duck tales the beagle boys all are numbered 167 or 617 etc they all add up to 5 ; } and this link does ring bells as far as other duck tales episodes. but then I can find patterns in almost anything. fun stuff.One or more of the animators might have been following in the satirical footsteps of the conspiracy laden 'The Illuminatus!

it is pretty much subliminal since we're watching scrooge mcduck not reading the wall. obviously though it didn't work on me because I never 'aske[ed] about the illuminati'Hmmmm . . . Wow! That would be rather difficult unless 10 year olds and their babysitters are your targets . . . not only that . . . it would have to communicate in almost subliminal fashion to be effective . . .
Are those who believe this is nefarious not implying it is targeted at kids?Hmmmm . . . Wow! That would be rather difficult unless 10 year olds and their babysitters are your targets . . . not only that . . . it would have to communicate in almost subliminal fashion to be effective . . .
Hmmmm. . . don't think that was what Mick was referring but could be . . . that some think children are able to pick up the information and process its implications, which is beyond my understanding of subliminal suggestions . . .Are those who believe this is nefarious not implying it is targeted at kids?
Some type of indoctrination so that when the youth grow up into a world controlled by them they will just accept it? Obviously it didn't work, or they haven't taken control yet, or at least haven't announced that they have.Hmmmm. . . don't think that was what Mick was referring but could be . . . that some think children are able to pick up the information and process its implications, which is beyond my understanding of subliminal suggestions . . .

And no I don't think that was what Mick was getting at.
BTW I loved this cartoon!
the entire show is propaganda (to occupy wallstreet types anyway). Scrooge Mcduck is crazy rich and yet the sweetest guy out there. it's an anti-anti-rich people show ; )I will take a look and see if it contains any subliminal propaganda to zombify the children of the world . . .![]()

Actually the illuminati have been a counter culture for much longer than that,I understand they did . . .

"It is not my intention to doubt that the doctrine of the Illuminati and the principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more satisfied of this fact than I am."
George Washington
Winston Churchill: 1920
"From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, to those of Trotsky, Bela Kun, Rosa Luxembourg, and Emma Goldman, this world wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played a definitely recognizable role in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the nineteenth century, and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads, and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire."
*Weishaupt was the founder of the illuminati
In the movie 23 you can slow it down and see this
good point , however i don't recall them mentioning any reference to that book in the movie and also why they put it so fast you can't see it .
Same basic thing though. They use "subliminal" flashes as references to conspiracy theories. It's kind of meta.External Quote:
- The 1998 German film 23, starring August Diehl as computer hacker Karl Koch, tells the real-life story of computer hackers inspired by Wilson's Illuminatus! Trilogy.
- The 2007 film The Number 23, starring Jim Carrey, is the story of a man who becomes obsessed with the number 23 while reading a book of the same title that seems to be about his life.
this inside joke is widespread in the entertainment industry.
