The late Steve Cokley, described as a "futureologist," lectured extensively on Sigma Pi Phi, also known as the Boule, a clandestine society for elite black men. Cokley claimed this group acts as a control mechanism within the black community, similar to the Illuminati or the Trilateral Commission. The rise of YouTube allowed Cokley's archival VHS lectures to reach a modern audience, challenging the group's influence.
