I was checking the stats on ye old blog here and I found that no one is reading it. Which is what I always find. However, people are finding it. To my surprise, at least 3 people had found their way here by running a Google search on “Illuminanti” limiting it to sites in English. I’m third in the results. Amazing. Unfortunately for those seekers of information on the Illuminanti, all I have is a passing reference to them in a post that talks about, among other things, the book Angels and Demons. I feel bad about that, so I will attempt to be of some help to those wishing to find out about the Illuminanti. Here is thumbnail sketch of what I know about the Illuminanti. At the bottom of the post are several links for more information.

The Illuminanti are a super secret organization that control … well … everything. They are responsible for the American Revolution in 1776 as well as the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. They are controlled by 5 secret masters, but even the most powerful Illuminatus never know the Identity of more than one of them. They control the Swiss Banks, the media, the Republicans, the Democrats to name a few.

If you’ve never heard of the Illuminanti, you must be thinking, “If they are so powerful, and have done all of this stuff how come I’ve never heard of them.”

Well, that’s just the way they want it. Most of the people who are doing the work of the Illuminanti, don’t even know. How could that be? Well, look at the Masons. A secret but harmless organization, right. Wrong, the Mason are actually a “farm system” for the Illuminanti. Not all Mason are Illuminantus, but they may be receiving direction from Higher Ranking Masons who are.

You may be thinking, “That’s insane. How about some proof geek-boy!”

Proof. Easy. Just pull out a one dollar bill. Turn it over. Observe the Great Seal of the United States. On the front of it the seal is an eagle. Well that makes sense, but on the Reverse, is a pyramid, with a shining eye coming out of it. Weird. In school you may have learned that the pyramid represents the young United States being built, and that the pyramid was incomplete, because the nation is always growing and the eye represents a benevolent god watching over the young nation. Maybe. Or it could be this. The Hierarchical Orders of the Masons (and perhaps the Illuminanti) is organized as a pyramid. And the Eye? The symbol of Illumination. The sign of the Illuminanti’s control and knowledge of everything. How did that get on the Great Seal? That’s easy. Most of the Founding Father were Masons. As a matter of fact, most of our Presidents have been Masons.

The Illuminanti were above ground for a time. Adam Weishaupt founded the Bavarian Order of the Illuminanti May 1, 1776. It attracted many prominent Europeans to become Members, including Mozart. Having gathered a good base to work from Weishaupt, allowed the Bavarian government to disband the Order of the Illuminanti. Of course, it wasn’t really disbanded it just went deep underground.

You may be thinking now, “If these guys are so smart and so powerful, how is so much information available.”

That’s the true genius of the Illuminanti. What better way to convince the masses you don’t exist, than to allow a bunch of crack pots to offer up proof that you do. We ignore the proof because it comes from those who are crazy or mix it with their own agenda.

If you want more information check out these sites. Be warned some are more credible than others. And some are down right offensive in the views. I link to them not because I support or agree with any of them, but to help you gather more information on this subject.
