Is SPECTRE symbolic of what we in the real modern day world believe to be the illumnnati? Yes I would say this is clearly demonstrated by him sitting at a table. in a dark room with other shadowy figures.
But if you are saying SPECTRE is a branch of the illumtani in the James bond world, I find this hard to believe.
So, I wonder, if this is EON's way of bringing today's issue of economic terrorism to the film.
Secret societies keep being brought up by whom? I can't say I hear them mentioned often, except in jest.
Agreed. With more clothes though.
And to answer to the OP no SPECTRE is not the Illuminati.

The Freemasons are real.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it @Sark
Pretty obviously I didn't mean that no organization called 'illuminati' ever existed, but that 'the Illuminati' as conceived in the OP doesn't exist.
Well, yes of course. But then many conspiracy nuts believe it does exist SPECTRE-like nefariously influencing world events! What ya gonna do? :))
Ian Fleming many times showed a knack for the occult, and any organisation convening in a shadowy ambiente has the potential to look good in a cinematic adaption.
So you do not think there are international groups that drive global events? That organisations such as JP Morgan, the IMF, etc etc do not heavily influence national events? That the invasion of Iraq, destabilisation of Libya and Syria are not related to big business? That the Bilderberg Group meetings are simply a three day social events? That the global banking crisis was just a big unforseeable accident?
It is about time we see evil secret organizations in Bond movies. They have been abandoned (well, by they I mean SPECTRE) for criminal businessmen and freelance criminals for a long while.
I wonder if Bond is now catching up on a trend he inspired in the first place. We have recurring menaces in many superhero movies, some of them inspired by the SPECTRE of old.
Yes and no.
And usually perpetuated by a certain type of person. Some people spend so much time in a bubble they allow their thoughts to manifest as truth. How many times have you seen an acquaintance, or friend overthink a personal situation to the point where they've convinced themselves of a scenario that is a) just one of many possibilities and b) completely unsubstantiated, yet to them it is unequivocally the only possibility.
Let SPECTRE just be SPECTRE please.
Illuminati would say ! :D
Some people are obsessed with finding correlations in things. Everything has to be like something else for them to understand it.
