The theory is that "the Illuminati" has us all fooled into living what we consider to be normal lives (but in reality we are enslaved) for their own personal gain, by using tools such as capitalism and brainwashing in the form of education, TV and other media. Some even believe that that this elite secret society intends to wipe out 90% of humanity for a more sustainable "new world order" - the relevance of that to this thread, is that supposedly they are giving us symbolic clues that this "population control" is going to begin during this Olympic games.
Obviously it's all nonsense, but if you put yourself in the position of a conspiracy theorist who actually believes this nonsense - you would want to make as many people aware of it as possible so that we could do our utmost to prevent it.
For me, the way I see it, the conspiracy theorists have recognised the problems with capitalism - but instead of learning the history (they don't bother because they believe much of history was written by the Illuminati too and we're all falling for it) and understanding that capitalism is simply the economic model the world uses and until recently has propelled the quality of lives of everyone in the western world into prosperity - they have invented a secret society who has been lying to us all long before any of us were born, forcing us to question everything we know about ourselves and our world. In reality, their "illuminati", rather than being an evil secret society who wants to kill everyone , is simply shareholders , bankers and the rich who are the ones who financially benefit from the capitalist system and rip off the rest of the world in the process.
This is not quite accurate. I am not anti capitalist at all. The New World Order, if it were to be created, would be something more like a communist system, where the primary component of society is the state, rather than the individual. Capitalism being demonized today in favor of more socialistic policies is not anti-global governance, and can at times seem quite pro.
