Changes: Committee of 300

Revision as of 05:48, 9 September 2020

The Committee of 300 (300人委員会, 300-nin iinkai), also known as The Illuminati, The Olympians, Hidden Hand, and various other names, 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 Cultivation 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 Cultivation 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.

This is also the Committee’s goal in Steins;Gate, in which they make use of the organization SERN to monopolize time travel, cull the worldwide population down to 1 billion people, and achieve complete domination by the year 2036, turning the world into what John Titor, a time traveler from the year 2036 who managed to escape back in time to try to change things, calls “a dystopia”.

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.

Known projects of the Committee of 300

As mentioned above, the “Human Cultivation Project”, also known as the “New World Order”, is the main goal of the Committee of 300, by which it plans to reduce the world’s population to one billion and unite it under a totalitarian one world government. To this end, the Committee has to this end invested heavily in propaganda and a number of other projects.

Major projects named so far in the Science Adventure Series are Project Noah (ChäoS;HEAd), SERN’s Z-Program (Steins;Gate), Project Mars (Robotics;Notes), and Project Atom (Robotics;Notes).
