Committee of 300

Known as the “All-Seeing Eye of God”, this is one of the symbols commonly associated with the Committee of 300 by conspiracy theorists

The Committee of 300 (300人委員会, 300-nin iinkai) is a secret society with 300 members in it worldwide, which for over a century has plotted world domination, with the goal of a one-world government, also known as the Human Domestication Project or the New World Order, and is the central antagonist of the Science Adventure Series.

It is partly based on the real life conspiracy theory by John Coleman about a group called the Committee of 300, which he also calls The Olympians, as well as Hidden Hand, a term that acts as a key password in Robotics;Notes. It is also partly based on the real life conspiracy theory about The Illuminati and the New World Order.

According to John Coleman’s 1991 book Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300 (available as a free PDF eBook on the CIA website as part of a collection of books found at Osama bin Laden’s hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan), the committee seeks to cull the global human population into a smaller world united under one government. In Robotics;Notes, the Committee of 300 is purported to have a similar plan, called the “Human Domestication Project”, in which the Committee would cull the worldwide human population down to 1 billion people and rule over them in what is popularly called the New World Order.

The Committee has countless front organizations all over the world, and is said to secretly control the world from the shadows. Their power spreads not only to the politics of all major world powers, but also religion, the economy, science, and military and intelligence agencies, among other things. The Illuminati is one such organization under the Committee of 300. Both were founded sometime in the 1700s.

The Committee in Robotics;Notes

1/3

Project Mars and Project Atum

In Robotics;Notes, Committee of 300 member Kou Kimijima, a brilliant scientist, is the mastermind behind his genocidal plans, Project Mars and Project Atom, brainwashing numerous other people as well as using AIs to do his dirty work, including an AI version of himself as well as the dual program Airi and Sister Centipede.

As an AI, Kou Kimijima turns Misaki Senomiya into his pawn, despite her killing his original human form, by harassing her about how she killed him until she submits to his will. He also brainwashes the the entire Mobile Battler Gunvarrel Anime Production Team, including its director Minami Furugoori, the mother of Kona Furugoori (a.k.a. Frau Koujiro). Maguyan and the real Airi Yukifune are also brainwashed by him.

Kou Kimijima also receives assistance from numerous front organizations of the Committee of 300, such as N.O.Z.O.M.I. for Noah IV and SERN who produce back hole bomb, Exoskeleton Co. who give him control of their Power Suits, and the Mobile Battler Gunvarrel Anime Production Team who broadcast propaganda for him.

Kou Kimijima also tricks Kaito Yashio using an AI he developed, Airi (which was based on a real girl), into collecting a number of reports he wrote, called the Kimijima Reports, in which Kou Kimijima spreads disinformation and propaganda. The Reports contain a mix of true and false information about the Committee of 300 and its plans, front organizations, etc., in order to throw people off the trail from the truth, and in them.

He and his plans are ultimately defeated by Kaito Yashio, Akiho Senomiya, Nae Tennouji, and their friends from the Robotics Club, with some help from Itaru Hashida (who creates a computer virus). They also get help from the CEO of Exoskeleton Co., Toshiyuki Sawada, who is rebelling against the Committee of 300 and their evil plans.
