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 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. 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.
