Eye on the Pyramid

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. It serves as 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.

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. The Illuminati is one such organization that exists beneath the Committee of 300. Both the Committee and the Illuminati were founded sometime in the 1700s.[1]

The Committee in Steins;Gate[]

In the Alpha Attractor Field the Committee of 300 acts as the master puppeteers behind SERN’s Z-Program, aspiring to obtain the power of time travel in order to create a dystopia, the final convergence of all Alpha World Lines is the completion of the SERN Time Machine and the enslavement of humanity in a Dystopia headed by the Committee of 300 by 2034. Rintaro Okabe and Itaru Hashida will form an anti-SERN resistance group named Valkyrie.

The Future Gadget Lab learns of the Committee’s existence while hacking SERN’s servers. By undoing all the D-Mails to reach the Beta Attractor Field, Rintaro Okabe successfully manages to avoid a future ruled by the Committee’s dystopia.

In the Beta Attractor Field, Shouichi Makise takes his daugher's thesis and defects to Russia, the Major powers like the USA and Russia competed relentlessly over and this would spiral into a conflict that would result in 5.7 billion deaths, becoming the deadliest conflict in human history fought over Kurisu's Amadeus data and time travel thesis. Rintaro Okabe and Itaru Hashida will form the resistance group Valkyrie and begin working on a time machine.

Clarifications[]

Stratfo and DURPA are not part of the Committee, in the chapter Pandora's Box, SERN attempts to conquer the world by trying to get hold the Kurisu's laptop, but Russian Intelligence intervenes and a crossfire ensues, this because convergence will not allow success due to the arms race, as well as SERN's ignorance to the Lab's activities in this Attractor Field.

In Episode 7 of the Steins;Gate 0 anime, Okabe enters into an alliance agreement with FB, who leads the Rounders, thus, later in Episode 13, leading to Moeka helping Okabe find more information about the codename K6205 and Kagari's past. In Episode 21 and 23, both FB and Moeka support Okabe by participating in Operation Vega; a plan that ultimately results in Mayuri and Suzuha being saved.

Known activity in Steins;Gate[]

This is a list of crimes and other activity committed or instigated by the Committee of 300 only for Steins;Gate. Feel free to correct errors and contribute. If adding a crime portrayed in the visual novels that was negated by the main route and therefore not canon to the overall storyline, please include a note stating it as such.

    It is not always clear whether certain groups and characters are true members of the Committee of 300, are simply hired help, or are coerced or otherwise forced to do the Committee’s bidding.
