They are highly secretive. They have knowledge they keep to themselves. They operate clandestinely. And they practise ancient mysterious rituals. They are secret societies. Are secret societies a hotbed of evil? Secret Societies: Myths and Realities of a Parallel World, Youtube 2023
Skull & Bones: This secret society is based at Yale … Anyone who is elected receives strange instructions … The secret society is 180 years old. ibid.
Illuminati: In Ingolstadt Adam Weishaupt taught ecclesiastic law and practical philosophy. He was the only secular professor … Weishaupt’s rejection of Throne and Altar … He wanted nothing less than to change the world. The supreme figure amongst the Illuminati damanded absolute loyalty from his members … He had tapped the pulse of the age. ibid.
There were also the Rosicrucians … The Rosicrucians were said to posses all the knowledge in the world and the potential to give people salvation … Today it presents itself in a new livery. ibid.
Since the dawn of civilisation the powerful have conspired to twist the course of history to suit their own designs. Like puppeteers could still be pulling the strings of destiny for billions. Secret Societies: The String Pullers, Michael Legge reporting, 2009
The Illuminati of Bavaria: the most fearsome secret society in history. More than 200 years ago here in Germany in what used to be the Independent Electorate of Bavaria a secret society was formed whose objectives simply spelt world domination. ibid.
Adam Weishaupt was born in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, in the south of Germany, in 1948. A convert from Judaism, he was raised and educated by Jesuits … He kept regular contact with the Freemasons. ibid.
First level: Nursery, Preparation, Novice, Minerval, Illuminatus Minor; Second level Freemasonry: Symbolic Apprentice = Master Freemason & Fellow of the Craft, & Scottish = Illuminatus Major & Illuminatus Dirigens; Third level Mysteries Lesser = Regent & Priest, & Greater Mysteries = Magus & Rex; & King. ibid.
The Illuminati became a true secret society within another – that is within Freemasonry itself. ibid.
Weishaupt’s influence remained in full force and made him practically untouchable. ibid.
The Order of the Illuminati already had a life of its own … the groundwork for a true New World Order: the French Revolution … a New World Order free from Monarchy or Religion but under their control. ibid.
A wave of panic flowed across New England … No firm evidence of Illuminati conspiracy was ever uncovered. ibid.
In the early 20th century right-wing writer Nester Webster stated [Surrender of an Empire] without offering any proof that since 1786 a lodge of the Illuminati had become established in Virginia and 14 other American cities. ibid.
The bête noire of these conspiracy buffs is the Rothschild clan. Immensely powerful, and conveniently Jewish. ibid.
And it is here that information blurs with disinformation. ibid.
What if the paranoid are not totally wrong? After all, we compare the world in 1790 with the world today, the main Illuminati objectives have been achieved or have at least set in motion. Coincidence? ibid.
The Order of the Illuminati has been the prey of choice for a legion of conspiracy hunters. Most of the accusations are downright hilarious. ibid.
A laugh that brings a chill. ’Cause if it were true, what would the Order have in store for us in years to come? And worse, how deep is their power of infiltration? ibid.
‘There are certain truths, holy truths, that enlighten man about his past, present, and future condition. They most certainly exist.
In each century they veiled their techniques. This diseased world requires help. To act therefore is our first purpose. To make the world better and wiser. We do not recruit for our own benefit. This is a labour worthy of the holy legion of better men.’ Johnny Royal, Illuminated: The True Story of the Illuminati, 2019, Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminati
In the south of Germany lies the state of Bavaria … Along the banks of the Danube River is the city of Ingolstadt … It is also known as the backdrop for a much darker narrative about the world’s most controversial secret society, the Illuminati. ibid.
The true story of the Illumani is a very human one. A story of rebellion, a story of love, and a story of great loss. ibid.
‘Weishaupt got the idea of forming a secret society from one of his students.’ ibid. historian
‘Secret societies saw themselves as the inheritors of these ancient mysteries.’ ibid.
While the Jesuits conspired against Weishaupt, he used his intellect to fight back. ibid.
‘The first stage of the Order was a student group.’ ibid. historian
The Illuminati degrees were broken up into three classes: The Minerval class, the Freemason class, and the Mysteries class.
In 1777 Weishaupt became a member of the Freemasons … he decided not to continue in Freemasonry. But his cunning mind saw an opportunity to grow his own Order by infiltrating Masonic lodges and recruiting their members. ibid.
‘The Illuminati cannot mention membership at all.’ ibid.
‘If you’re going to advance at all in the Illuminati you have be a Freemason.’ ibid.
A second enemy of the Illuminati arose – a Rosicrucian group calling themselves Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross. ibid.
A multitude of Freemasons joined the Illuminati. ibid.
Shortly after the recruitment of Bode, Knigge and Weishaupt commenced their work on what would be the final set of degrees for the Illuminati, the Mysteries class. ibid.
Around this time, Knigge began to view Weishaupt as a hypocrite for preaching liberty and freedom through the Illuminati teachings … Knigge and Weishaupt had a fallen out. ibid.
It was in a large sense one man working out his issues, and attempting to manifest his own utopian vision as reality. ibid.
In 1784 the Illuminati began to fall apart. ibid.
That same year the most powerful enemy of the Illuminati surfaced – Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria. Between 1784 and 1787 Charles Theodore issued several edicts which would ban all secret societies in Bavaria. ibid.
Weishaupt … lost his professorship from Ingolstadt University and was eventually exiled. ibid.
‘It was not a big bang, it was a whimper at the end.’ ibid.
