Illuminati Conspiracy Part One: A Precise Exegesis on the Available Evidence

Illuminati Conspiracy Part Two: Sniffing out Jesuits

A Metaprogrammer at the Door of Chapel Perilous

In the literature that concerns the Illuminati relentless speculation abounds. No other secret society in recent history - with the exception of Freemasonry - has generated as much legend, hysteria, and disinformation. I first became aware of the the Illuminati about 14 years ago. Shortly thereafter I read a book, written by Robert Anton Wilson, called Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the Illuminati. Wilson published it in 1977 but his opening remarks on the subject still ring true today:

Briefly, the background of the Bavarian Illuminati puzzle is this. On May 1, 1776, in Bavaria, Dr. Adam Weishaupt, a professor of Canon Law at Ingolstadt University and a former Jesuit, formed a secret society called the Order of the Illuminati within the existing Masonic lodges of Germany. Since Masonry is itself a secret society, the Illuminati was a secret society within a secret society, a mystery inside a mystery, so to say. In 1785 the Illuminati were suppressed by the Bavarian government for allegedly plotting to overthrow all the kings in Europe and the Pope to boot. This much is generally agreed upon by all historians. 1 Everything else is a matter of heated, and sometimes fetid, controversy.

It has been claimed that Dr. Weishaupt was an atheist, a Cabalistic magician, a rationalist, a mystic; a democrat, a socialist, an anarchist, a fascist; a Machiavellian amoralist, an alchemist, a totalitarian and an "enthusiastic philanthropist." (The last was the verdict of Thomas Jefferson, by the way.) The Illuminati have also been credited with managing the French and American revolutions behind the scenes, taking over the world, being the brains behind Communism, continuing underground up to the 1970s, secretly worshipping the Devil, and mopery with intent to gawk. Some claim that Weishaupt didn't even invent the Illuminati, but only revived it. The Order of Illuminati has been traced back to the Knights Templar, to the Greek and Gnostic initiatory cults, to Egypt, even to Atlantis. The one safe generalization one can make is that Weishaupt's intent to maintain secrecy has worked; no two students of Illuminology have ever agreed totally about what the "inner secret" or purpose of the Order actually was (or is . . .). There is endless room for spooky speculation, and for pedantic paranoia, once one really gets into the literature of the subject; and there has been a wave of sensational "ex-poses" of the Illuminati every generation since 1776.

If you were to believe all this sensational literature, the damned Bavarian conspirators were responsible for everything wrong with the world, including the energy crises and the fact that you can't even get a plumber on weekends. (pp. 3-4)

That short excerpt is perhaps the most honest and succinct introduction to the Illuminati as you'll ever come across. So it is more than a bit ironic that Wilson, throughout the rest of the text, proceeds to perpetuate and expand upon similar myths, and in the process manages to take it to a whole new level. 2 In the end, the Illuminati had mystified Wilson as much as anyone in the preceding centuries.
Robert Anton Wilson (RAW) is an enigma in his own right: an archetypal Trickster in the tradition of Aleister Crowley or Timothy Leary, both of whom he greatly admires. 3 The Cosmic Trigger Trilogy is meant to awaken the reader to multiple mind-blowing streams of thought and completely shatter preconceived notions of perception, time and space - much as the writings of illuminists themselves. Herein lies the seed of speculation to the effect that he must surely be in on the conspiracy - some have gone so far as to believe he's the Grand Master (or inner head) of the Illuminati himself. Wilson has always toyed with the accusations, and in typical RAW fashion, he's never denied it outright.
Cosmic Trigger wasn't the first book Wilson dedicated to the theme, however. Two years earlier, in 1975, RAW and co-author Robert Shea popularized the modern wave of Illuminati conspiracies with the publication of the novel Illuminatus! Trilogy. A veritable cult classic, Illuminatus invigorated the underground market and spawned a whole new generation of conspiracy authors. One cannot read any of RAW's material without a healthy sense of humor, though, and Illuminatus is definitely no exception. Written between 1969 and 1971 it reads like a subversive anarchist manual, yet satirical and surreal at the same time. The cut-and-paste job of excerpts right into the flow of dialogue - from books and pamphlets on a wide range of conspiracy theories - probably boosted its appeal from the beginning.
Any researcher investigating the Illuminati today would be remiss not to mention RAW - especially in a book or document purporting to cover the subject in detail. With the exception of Myron Fagan, "Wild" Bill Cooper, 4 the John Birchers and Biblical endtimes literature, the formation of the current mythos surrounding the subject has a lot to do with the popularity of Wilson's books: have you ever seen the Illuminati and the star Sirius mentioned in the same paragraph?
Before plunging headlong into the history of the Bavarian Illuminati, it might be useful to have a look at Wilson's diagram - his interpretation (at the time) of the "occult conspiracy" as it has been transmitted through the ages (Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the Illuminati, p.188):

 

New Promethean Possibilities

“European aristocrats transferred their lighted candles from Christian altars to Masonic lodges. The flame of occult alchemists, which had promised to turn dross into gold, reappeared at the center of new "circles" seeking to recreate a golden age: Bavarian Illuminists conspiring against the Jesuits, French Philadelphians against Napoleon, Italian charcoal burners against the Hapsburgs.”
- Billington, Fire in the Minds of Men: Origins of the Revolutionary Faith, p. 6

The Bavarian Illuminati originated during an age replete with the growing belief in the acquisition of truth through observation and experience. The Age of Enlightenment was in full swing and by the end of the Eighteenth Century an explosion of natural philosophy, science, the resurgence of hermeticism and occult experimentation, all competed directly with the traditional teachings of the Church and the Jesuit monopoly in the Universities and Colleges. 5 Numerous ideologies owe an intellectual and political heritage to this period: skepticism, rationalism, atheism, liberalism, humanism, reductionism, modernism, communism, nihilism and anarchism - among the most apparent.
As the Eighteenth Century came to a close Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755), Denis Diderot (1713-1784), Voltaire (1694-1778), Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), Marquis de Condorcet (1743-1794), Comte de Mirabeau (1749- 1791), David Hume (1711-1776), Adam Smith (1723-1790), Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) were famous in their own time. The instrument of reason became a new faith, no less susceptible to its own breed of dogmatism. The philosophers of the Enlightenment reasoned that the physics of Newton might become applicable in all fields of endeavor: the fundamental cosmic laws of nature could transform society and man himself into a "noble savage." 6
The idea of a "glorious revolution" attained widespread acceptance, but during Weishaupt's time it was still a relatively new concept to link political change with social change. The "imminent revolution of the human mind," promulgated by the "radical Bavarian Illuminists," coincided with Mirabeau's doctrine of a coming secular upheaval and universal revolution.
Mirabeau proclaimed Prussia to be the most likely place for the start of the revolution, with the "German Illuminists as its probable leaders." History records, however, that it was Mirabeau himself who became one of the main catalysts to spark the "fire in the minds of men" during the French Revolution. 7
At about the same time Weishaupt was embarking on an academic career two important figures entered the world stage: Thomas Robert Malthus, 8 born in 1766, a major influence on Darwinism, population control and the eugenics movement; four years later we see the birth of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, in Stuttgart Germany, the inventor of what would become known as the "Hegelian Dialectic."
"For Hegelians," Antony C. Sutton reports, "the State is almighty and seen as 'the march of God on earth.' Indeed, a State religion. Progress in the Hegelian State is through contrived conflict: the clash of opposites makes for progress. If you can control the opposites, you dominate the nature of the outcome" (Introduction to the 2002 edition of America's Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones, no pagination PDF copy).
Revolutionary radicals were impressed with the proof-of-concept displayed by the ruthless conspirators in France. Malthusian and Hegelian dogma became equally influential for anarchists, communists, the intelligentsia and the new breed of revolutionaries that surfaced in the 19th Century: Young Hegelians such as Bakunin, Proudhon and Marx took up the cause in the "spirit of the times" to "destroy in order to build."

They're Watching You! | The History of the Illuminati

“Weishaupt . . . proposed as the end of Illuminism the abolition of property, social authority, nationality, and the return of the human race to the happy state in which it formed only a single family without artificial needs, without useless sciences, every father being priest and magistrate. Priest of we know not what religion, for in spite of their frequent invocations of the God of Nature, many indications lead us to conclude that Weishaupt had, like Diderot and d'Holbach, no other God than Nature herself. From his doctrine would naturally follow German ultra-Hegelianism and the system of anarchy recently developed in France, of which the physiognomy suggests a foreign origin.”
- Henry Martin, Histoire de France depuis les temps les plus reculés jusqu'en 1789, XVI. 533. 9

“Do you realize sufficiently what it means to rule - to rule in a secret society? Not only over the lesser or more important of the populace, but over the best of men, over men of all ranks, nations, and religions, to rule without external force, to unite them indissolubly, to breathe one spirit and soul into them, men distributed over all parts of the world? . . . And finally, do you know what secret societies are? What a place they occupy in the great kingdom of the world's events? Do you think they are unimportant, transitory appearances?”
- Adam Weishaupt, Nachtrag von weitern Originalschriften, II, pp. 44, 51. 10

A quick perusal on the World Wide Web will show the disparity of opinions and irreconcilable differences about the history of the Illuminati - Bavarian or otherwise.
It's getting better though, a recent article published by the American Atheists 11 - The Enlightenment, Freemasonry, and The Illuminati - has solid documentation and thorough references for those inclined to investigate further into primary and secondary source material; the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon has uploaded part of Vernon L. Stauffer's New England and the Bavarian Illuminati; Bilderberg.org has most of the relevant parts of John Robison's classic, Proofs of a Conspiracy Against all the Religions and Governments of Europe; the Catholic Encyclopedia has long had a good, but short, article; nearly the complete text - and the two most important chapters as it concerns the Illuminati - from Nesta Webster's Secret Societies & Subversive Movements has been posted; three important chapters from Rabbi Marvin S. Antelman's To Eliminate the Opiate Vol. I; Wikipedia.org has an adequate article; and, for those poor Dan Brown fans whose first introduction to the Illuminati was the bestseller Angels & Demons, there's a good debugging write-up from the Center for Studies on New Religions.
If you never buy a single book on the Illuminati, and just read the internet references cited above, you would have an excellent grasp - much greater than your average conspiracy theorist - on the facts (as we can safely say) concerning the rise and fall of the Bavarian Illuminati. I have taken it a bit further, however. For the last six months I've engaged in a crash course on the Illuminati and related subjects: absorbing and taking notes from Proofs of a Conspiracy ..., and other internet references; buying Barruel's Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism, Billington's Fire In the Minds of Men: Origins of the Revolutionary Faith, Webster's Secret Societies & Subversive Movements, Antelman's To Eliminate the Opiate Vol. 1, Yates' The Rosicrucian Enlightenment, Fulop-Miller's The Power and Secret of the Jesuits, Carr's Pawns in the Game; and at the same time consulting other works, in my own personal library, when needed. 12

1748

February 6. Adam Weishaupt is born (d. 1830) of Westphalian parents [CE] in Ingolstadt Bavaria. Fittingly, the Weishaupt family name first appeared in Baden and was anciently associated with tribal conflicts around the area. [House of Names: Weishaupt Family Crest]

1755

Weishaupt’s father, George, dies. He is turned over to his liberal godfather, Baron Johann Adam Ickstatt (1702-1776), curator of the University of Ingolstadt and a member of the Privy Council. [VS, CG]

While growing up Weishaupt was educated by the Jesuits and was “accorded free range in the private library of his godfather, the boy’s questioning spirit was deeply impressed by the brilliant though pretentious works of the French ‘philosophers’ with which the shelves were plentifully stocked.” [VS] He studies law, economics, politics, history and philosophy; voraciously devouring every book which he came across. [VS]

1768

Weishaupt graduates from the University of Ingolstadt. He serves for four years as a tutor and catechist. [VS]

1772

Weishaupt is appointed as professor of civil law at the University of Ingolstadt. [CE]

1773

Pope Clement XIV dissolves the Jesuit Order.

Weishaupt becomes the first layman to occupy the chair of canon law; the prestigious position had been held by a Jesuit for the previous 90 years. [VS, CE]

Weishaupt marries, against the wishes of Ickstatt. [VS]

1775

Weishaupt is promoted to dean of the faculty of law. [VS]

1776

May 1. Weishaupt founds the Order of the Illuminati with an original membership of five.¹³ The Order is secret, hierarchical and modeled on the Jesuits. The original name for the Order was uncertain: Perfectibilists and Bees were both considered, but Weishaupt settled on Illuminati – chosen, perhaps, because of the “image of the sun radiating illumination to outer circles” [JB: 94-95] The Order was, therefore, always represented in communications between members as a circle with a dot in the center ☉ This symbolic imagery – the point within a circle, the Perfectibilists and the Bees – is also reflective of Weishaupt’s fascination with Eleusinian¹⁴ and Pythagorean Mysteries; no doubt learning of this early on having access to Ickstatt’s considerable library.

Like most secret societies the basic structure of the Order was divided into classes and degrees, in the following manner:

1. The Nursery
   1. Preparatory Literary Essay
   2. Novitiate (Novice)
   3. Minerval (Brethren of Minerva, Academy of Illuminism)
   4. Illuminatus Minor
2. Symbolic Freemasonry
   1. Apprentice
   2. Fellow Craft
   3. Master
   4. 1. Scots Major Illuminatus
      2. Scots Illuminatus Dirigens (Directory)
3. Mysteries
   1. Lesser
      1. Presbyter, Priest, or Epopt
      2. Prince or Regent
   2. Greater
      1. Magus
      2. Rex or King

“The Zoroastrian-Manichaean cult of fire was central to the otherwise eclectic symbolism of the Illuminists; their calendar was based on Persian rather than classical or Christian models.” [JB: 95] Weishaupt explains: “The allegory in which the Mysteries and Higher Grades must be clothed is Fire Worship and the whole philosophy of Zoroaster or of the old Parsees¹⁵ who nowadays only remain in India; therefore in the further degrees the Order is called ‘Fire Worship’ (Feuerdienst), the ‘Fire Order,’ or the ‘Persian Order’ – that is, something magnificent beyond all expectation.” [NW: 201] Weishaupt constructed the Illuminati calendar to commemorate the date of the Persian King Yazdegerd III (632 AD) [MI] – the Parsees (Parsis) still use the same dating system to this day.¹⁶ Barruel relates how the Illuminati Novice in-training “must … learn how to date his letters, and be conversant with the Illuminized Hegira or Calendar; for all letters which he will receive in future will be dated according to the Persian era, caled [sic] Jezdegert and beginning A.D. 630. The year begins with the Illuminees on the first of Pharavardin, which answer to the 21st of March. Their first month has no less than forty-one days; the following months, instead of being called May, June, July, August, September, and October, are Adarpahascht, Chardad, Thirmeh, Merdedmeh, Shaharimeh,Meharmeh: November and December are Abenmeh, Adameh: January and February, Dimeh, and Benmeh: The month of March only has twenty days, and is called Asphandar.” [AB: 429; emphasis in original] ¹⁷

For the Novice, the letters to his Superior are to be written in cipher: “he must make himself master of that cypher, which is to serve him until initiated into the higher degrees, when he will be entrusted with the hieroglyphics of the Order.” [AB: 429] Barruel (p.438) displays the first cipher¹⁸ introduced to the Illuminati Novice:

A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	K	L	M
12	11	10	9	8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1
N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	W	X	Y	Z
13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20	21	22	23	24

The Hieroglyphic cipher used in the higher Scotch Knight degrees is also reproduced by Barruel:

The Bavarian Illuminati were set up for “political intriguing rather than in speculation” [NW: 201], the Illuminati became “much more characteristic of a militia in action than an order with initiations.” [JB: 95] Weishaupt’s contempt for certain esoteric pursuits – as a “thing-in-itself” – was widely known: “… in Weishaupt’s system the phraseology of Judaism, the Cabalistic legends of Freemasonry, the mystical imaginings of the Martinistes, play at first no part at all. For all forms of ‘theosophy,’ occultism, spiritualism, and magic Weishaupt expresses nothing but contempt, and the Rose-Croix masons are bracketed with the Jesuits by the Illuminati as enemies it is necessary to outwit at every turn. Consequently no degree of Rose-Croix finds a place in Weishaupt’s system, as in all the other Masonic orders of the day which drew their influence from Eastern or Cabalistic¹⁹ sources.” [NW: 200]

Weishaupt seems to have shown the most disdain towards the occult pursuits of his own time; of the ancient mysteries he has nothing but high regard. The Insinuators, while in pursuit of potential recruits, “must remark, that there exists doctrines solely transmitted by secret traditions, because they are above the comprehension of common minds. In proof of his assertions he will cite the Gymnosophists in the Indies, the Priests of Isis in Egypt, and those of Eleusis and the Pythagorean School in Greece.” [AB: 422]

Ascending the Illuminati hierarchy wasn’t so much for the purpose of attaining wisdom as to be “remade into a totally loyal servant of a universal mission.” [JB: 94] In a letter to fellow Illuminist, Xavier Zwack, dated Mar 10 1778, Weishaupt had said, “We cannot use people as they are, but begin by making them over.” [JB: 94]

1777

Weishaupt is initiated into Freemasonry, in Munich, at the Lodge Theodore of Good Counsel. By the middle of 1779, Weishaupt’s “Insinuators” had completely wrestled control of the Lodge and it was regarded as part of the Order of the Illuminati. [VS]

1780

February 8. Weishaupt’s wife dies. [VS]

July. Baron von Knigge is initiated into the Order. [VS] Knigge was connected to the court of Hesse-Cassel [VS] and a prominent Strict Observance freemason. He subsequently restructured the Order and recruited many prominent members: “the notion of restricting the field of recruiting solely to the young was abandoned, and this phase of the propaganda was widened so as to include men of experience whose wisdom and influence might be counted upon to assist in attaining the objects of the order.” [VS] By 1784, largely due to Knigge’s circle of influence, the Illuminati had “between two and three thousand members.” [VS]

1782

July 16. Congress of Wilhelmsbad convened. Probably the most significant event of the era as far as any official coalition between secret society factions:

“At Wilhelmsbad, near the city of Hanau in Hesse-Cassel, was held the most important Masonic Congress of the eighteenth century. It was convoked by Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick,²⁰ Grand Master of the Order of Strict Observance … there were delegates from Upper and Lower Germany, from Holland, Russia, Italy, France, and Austria; and the order of the Illuminati was represented by the Baron Von Knigge. It is not therefore surprising that the most heterogeneous opinions were expressed.”

– Albert G. Mackey. Mackey’s Revised Encyclopedia Of Freemasonry, under “Wilhelmsbad, Congress of”

“…it was not until the Congress de Wilhelmsbad that the alliance between Illuminism and Freemasonry was finally sealed….What passed at this terrible Congress will never be known to the outside world, for even those men who had been drawn unwittingly into the movement, and now heard for the first time the real designs of the leaders, were under oath to reveal nothing. One such honest Freemason, the Comte de Virieu, a member of Martiniste Lodge at Lyons, returning from the Congre’s de Wilhelmsbad could not conceal his alarm, and when questioned on the ‘tragic secrets’ he had brought back with him, replied: ‘I will not confide them to you. I can only tell you that all this is very much more serious than you think. The conspiracy which is being woven is so well thought out that it will be, so to speak, impossible for the monarchy and the Church to escape from it.” From this time onwards, says his biographer, M. Costa de Beauregard, ‘the Comte de Virieu could only speak of Freemasonry with horror.'” (Nesta H. Webster. World Revolution – The Plot Against Civilization, p. 18.)

1784

April 20. Baron von Knigge resigns from the Illuminati. His quarrels with Weishaupt over the direction and management of the Order had reached a boiling point. A certain amount of jealousy was apparent from both parties – though Weishaupt certainly was a Machiavellian, by all accounts. On July 1st Knigge signs a formal agreement to return all property, rituals and initiations belonging to the Order, and to maintain silence about Illuminati secrets. Knigge was convinced of Weishaupt’s Jesuitism; he accused him of being “a Jesuit in disguise.” [VS, CE]

June 22. The Elector of Bavaria, Duke Carl Theodore, issues the first edict against secret societies not authorized by the law or the sovereign.

This first edict seems to have been brought upon by ex-member, Professor Joseph Utzschneider, who had quit the Order in August 1783. Just a few months later, in October, Utzschneider along with Grünberger and Cosandey, fellow professors with him in the Marianen (Marienburg) Academy²¹ and members of the Order, presented the Duchess Maria Anna with an internal Illuminati document, and a membership list. The Duchess was thoroughly alarmed and passed it on to the Duke. [VS, JR]

1785

February. Some members of the Illuminati appeal to Carl Theodore for an appearance before him to prove their innocence. The offer is rejected. [VS]

March 2. The Bavarian Monarch issues the second edict against secret societies, specifically naming the Illuminati and Freemasonry; shortly after a considerable amount of important documents were concealed or put to the flames. [VS] This second ban was more forceful, it “left no room for evasion.” The government enforcers were giving weapons to “wage an effective command.” [VS]

Weishaupt had already left his post at the University two weeks earlier, obviously knowing about the approaching storm. “He fled across the border to Regensburg, and finally settled at Gotha” under the protection of Illuminati member Duke of Saxe-Gotha. [VS] Thirteen years later Barruel writes, “[Weishaupt] now banished from his country as a traitor to his Prince and to the whole Universe, peacefully at the court of Ernest Lewis, Duke of Saxe Gotha, enjoys an asylum, receives a pension from the public treasury, and is dignified with the title of Honorary Councellor to that Prince.” [AB: 400]

Judicial inquiries were held at Ingolstadt. Subsequent government measures were taken and some members made formal confessions. A considerable membership was found to be held within the military; officers and soldiers were ordered to come forward and confess any involvement. State officials, professors, teachers, and students who were found out to be members were summarily dismissed. Some were even banished from the country. [VS]

September 9. Utzschneider, Grünberger, and Cosandey make a joint Juridical Deposition before the Elector:

“The object of the first degrees of Illuminism is at once to train their young men, and to be informed of every thing that is going forward by a system of espionage. The Superiors aim at procuring from their inferiors diplomatic acts, documents, and original writings. With pleasure they see them commit any treasons or treacherous acts, because they not only turn the secrets betrayed to their own advantage, but thereby have it in their power to keep the traitors in a perpetual dread, lest, if they every showed any signs of stubbornness, their malefactions should be made known.-Oderint dum metuant, let them hate, provided they fear, is the principle of their government.

“The Illuminees from these first degrees are educated in the following principles:

1. “The Illuminee who wishes to rise to the highest degree must be free from all religion; for a religionist (as they call every man who has any religion) will never be admitted to the highest degrees.”
2. The Patet Exitus, or the doctrine on Suicide, is expressed in the same terms as in the preceding deposition.
3. “The end sanctifies the means. The welfare of the Order will be a justification for calumnies, poisonings, assassinations, perjuries, treasons, rebellions; in short, for all that the prejudices of men lead them to call crimes.
4. “One must be more submissive to the Superiors of Illuminism, than to the sovereigns or magistrates who govern the people; and he that gives the preference to sovereigns or governors of the people is useless to us. Honor, life, and fortune, all are to be sacrificed to the Superiors. The governors of nations are despots when they are not directed by us.-They can have no authority over us, who are free men.
5. “The love of one’s prince and of one’s country are incompatible with views of an immense extent, with the ultimate ends of the Order, and one must glow with ardour for the attainment of that end.

“The Superiors of Illuminism are to be looked upon as the most perfect and the most enlightened of men; no doubts are to be entertained even of their infallibility.”

“It is in these moral and political principles that the Illuminees are educated in the lower degrees; and it is according to the manner in which they imbibe them and show their devotion to the Order, or are able to second its views, that they are earlier or later admitted to the higher degrees.

“They use every possible artifice to get the different post-offices in all countries entrusted to the care of their adepts only. They also boast that they are in possession of the secret of opening and reclosing letters without the circumstance being perceived.

“They made us give answers in writing to the following questions: How would it be possible to devise one single system of morals and one common Government for all Europe, and what means should be employed to effectuate it? Would the Christian Religion be a necessary requisite? Should revolt be employed to accomplish it? &c. &c.

The Illuminati Agenda | Illuminati Agenda

Illuminati Articles November 16, 2011

The Illuminati and those few ‘elite’ groups that hold the positions of power and control today have (and always have had) a very specific agenda that they want to implement fully. This agenda has been continually worked on over the centuries by the Illuminati to varying degrees both in obvious ways and more covertly as time has progressed, however it is only relatively recently that it has gathered increased pace and influence due to advances in technology, increased population growth – which poses a considerable threat to
their endeavors and universal changes that are forcing them to have to implement it as quickly as possible before certain dates.
The Illuminati agenda is ultimately one of total control and domination. They want to obtain power over every part of your life and the audacious thing about it is that they actually rely on you to unwittingly help implement their agenda and allow them to obtain that power over you. Every part of your life will be completely governed and controlled using various manipulative and more obvious methods and while admittedly, this may seem far-fetched to many and even sound like the plot of some outlandish movie or story, it is actually occurring at an alarming rate, even as you read this. This article aims to shed light on how the Illuminati are planning to fully implement their agenda and help you to begin to see it for its obviousness, as you inevitably begin to encounter it on a daily basis. Hopefully, you can gain an understanding that will then allow you to actually do something about it before it is too late and these few degenerates in power have gained complete dominance over not only the ignorant masses lives – but yours too.
One of the principal ways the Illuminati plan to implement their agenda is through fundamentally what will be a one world union. This one world union will be controlled and dictated to by a world government, have a single global army and militarized police force, a world central bank with a single currency and will be subject to the same set of rules or ‘laws’ formulated by the Illuminati, no matter what part of the world you are from or reside in. This single one world state will then much more easily allow the relative few in power to control the world population without the restrictions that borders, race, religion, nationality, culture, and laws currently impose.



We are increasingly hearing various world leaders and influential figures calling for a ‘new world order’ and we are actually already seeing the formation of so-called ’superstates’ all over the globe. Superstates such as the European Union, the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation and the African Union, which, once fully operational and accepted by the masses will be relatively easily merged into a one world union.

We also have the North American Free Trade Agreement involving the US, Canada, and Mexico which serves to rid these countries of their sovereignty by introducing a new currency for all three countries speculated to be the called the ‘Amero’ and which again, is preparing the Americas for the emergence into a one world state. The quietly planned North American Super Corridor – a colossal road that will be used to connect Canada, the US, and Mexico, further helps to corroborate the idea of a new American ‘superstate’ not being too far off.

THE NEW WORLD ORDER - A 6000 Year History 

The new one world union will ultimately be controlled by a single world central bank and key to this financial control is the implementation of a cashless monetary system that will rely solely on digital, ‘pixels on a screen’ money and this represents a very real danger as it grants the banks and Illuminati financial institutions complete control of our financial lives. Discrepancies or inaccuracies in the system, as well as changes in interest and exchange rates, can be fully dictated with you having no control or influence as the physical aspect of cash is gone. Also, the new digital money will not truly be backed by anything of intrinsic value and so those in control can create money out of nothing, (which incidentally is already happening at an increasing rate) and even delete it with the click of a button. It simply grants them more control and us, less, which is exactly what the Illuminati want and why they are working so hard at steadily introducing a cashless system.
We have now had the introduction of ‘chip and pin’ and more and more, people are being encouraged to use their credit and debit cards instead of cash simply by making it much easier for them to do so and conversely, making it increasingly difficult to deal in cash. The Illuminati will use the idea of increased security and convenience to get us to accept the notion of a cashless system and already we see the vast majority of the population operating with digital transactions whether it be purchases they make or the salaries they receive and so with a few more ‘advances’ in technology being introduced, it will not be hard for those in control to then remove cash fully with little to no resistance from the people at all.
What better illustration is there that the illuminati do not want us using cash than if you go into the bank and try to withdraw all of your money out the same day – you will most likely be told you can’t, or can only have a limited daily amount in cash of your own money and will no doubt then be reassured that you can use all of your money via cards and electronic transfers instead. All it takes is a digital payment to be debited from your account, (which the bank will allow whether the funds are available to cover it or not) to place you in the red and indebted to the bank, all due to an automated electronic computerized signal – what could be a better way to enslave the people without the need for cash!


The chips in debit and credit cards along with other gadgets we now rely on a daily basis are becoming increasingly smaller and this ties into the next part of the Illuminati agenda. The Illuminati ultimately want the entire population connected to a huge central processing computer via compulsory microchipping. Initially, these will be found in cards and the things we carry around – as they are today, which serve to allow us to
become familiar and comfortable with them before being placed into more permanent items like bracelets that we must have if we want to operate normally within
society without hindrance. Then, ultimately, again under the guise of security and convenience they will be inserted under the skin once we are fully reliant on and familiar with them – if much of your life, your purchases, your earnings, your traveling etc are all dealt with through your microchip you wouldn’t want to lose it or have someone steal it would you? Sadly, we are now already seeing indoctrinated parents calling for young children to be chipped for ‘safety’ reasons, following high profile murders and abductions of other children, to ‘prevent’ it from happening to their own.
Although CCTV and traditional surveillance techniques play a large part in the Illuminati agenda in creating an Orwellian big brother state and will continue to watch our every move and invade our privacy at an increasing rate, the microchipping of the population is far more effective and provides constant surveillance as the chips inevitably will be trackable and every time they are used, scanned or detected that motion will digitally be logged and recorded permanently, giving the Illuminati ultimate access to the populations behavior, habits, and whereabouts.

The Illuminati require the majority share and control of the worlds territory, resources, and subsequent energy supply and this is one of the reasons why we are seeing such a high level of western military violence towards the middle eastern, geographically ideally located, oil-rich countries. Once the Illuminati have gained complete control of the middle east they will fundamentally have a monopoly on much of the worlds oil supply and the central location of these countries will subsequently be used to set up command centers and military bases from where they can implement their new world order most efficiently.
As well as oil, the Illuminati want to monopolize the creation of all energy including the so-called ‘green’ energy production techniques, using it to push the global warming and ‘carbon’ agenda further whilst simultaneously suppressing the actual true, infinite, free and green energy production techniques that wouldn’t be able to be tapped for profit by the greedy and controlling Illuminati corporations.


Due to the large increase in population growth the Illuminati ideally want to curtail any more growth and actually reduce the population numbers to a more manageable amount and this will be (and is being done) through various different techniques. For instance, mandatory vaccinations will be imposed to prevent the outbreak of some supposed terrible disease like swine flu or bird flu (that are in fact created in laboratories by the Illuminati or do not even exist at all), which will keep us in poor health by suppressing our immune systems – the exact opposite of what they are supposed to do and also, of course, serve to
ensure we’re kept dependent on the big pharmaceutical industries to treat (not cure) our dis-ease that has manifested, partly due to a compromised immune system, with their high grossing, chemical filled drugs.
All of the food and drink production is to be fully controlled by the Illuminati (and already is to a great extent) in order for them to fill everything we consume with disease manifesting additives and chemicals, like Aspartame, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and fluoride which further helps them to keep us suppressed and in poor health, and even banning the collection of rainwater and growth of food yourself and closing down organic food and drink outlets as has already happened in certain parts of America.
Manufactured atrocities and mass military action also help to keep the population at a more manageable level due to the great number of deaths they generate. Weather manipulation from advanced installations like HAARP will be used to remotely trigger natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and the air we breath will be subject to poisonous additives via chemtrailing. Electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone masts and related gadgets and the continual addiction to both legal and illegal harmful substances will all help to keep the population living nowhere near the age they potentially could without this Illuminati meddling and will also serve to keep the remaining, manageable population suppressed and subdued, as they pose no real threat and are far more easy to control and manipulate in this state.
All forms of entertainment will be ultimately owned and controlled by the Illuminati – serving to mold and manipulate our sense of reality. This is another aspect of the agenda that the Illuminati have already got very well implemented as most of the major news outlets, papers and T.V channels of at least the western world are in fact owned by the same few individuals and are increasingly being used to pump out biased, Illuminati agenda ridden inaccuracies and propaganda disguised as ‘news’, never actually giving the full story and simply whitewashing over anything that threatens to expose any real truths.
One thing the Illuminati did not anticipate however was the creation of the internet and this leads us on to the next part of their agenda for complete control – internet censorship. The internet poses a great threat to the Illuminati as more and more of the population go online every day and potentially have access to fresh, alternative sources of information that could give them a new and unbiased take on reality and their lives. This is simply not acceptable to the Illuminati and is why they are now working so hard to bring in new bills and laws to restrict access to certain sites via the internet service providers – all of course under the false pretense of security and safety for both ourselves and our children.



Education has always been a major tool for the Illuminati to fundamentally indoctrinate the population into a certain way of thinking under the guise of improving intellectuality and making knowledge available to everyone. Today is no different, the education system is now being used by the Illuminati to indoctrinate a new generation of young, malleable minds into accepting falsities that best fit their agenda – like the global warming scam and the threat to national security from supposed terrorism, inevitably using the official story of 9/11 as historical fact to
back up that perceived threat in the young minds.
As well as education, science will be (and has already has been) infiltrated, manipulated and funded by the Illuminati to allow them to push their agenda further and make much of the questionable aspects of it appear as scientific fact, which will help to reduce any resistance from the population as it is being brought in, when in fact the results have either been based on manipulated data, or have simply been bought and paid for.
The Illuminati want complete control of drug distribution all over the world, which will allow them to legally sell their more harmful, disease manifesting, chemical filled drugs to the masses while increasingly criminalizing the natural substances that can potentially serve to open peoples minds and create a more peaceful society and also because they pose a serious threat to the major oil corporations and pharmaceutical giants.
The Illuminati ultimately wants every member of the population financially dependent on them either through employment or relying on state benefits and this is why now, already well over half the population work for the government in various capacities, whether it be in the military, the police, local councils and government or education and teaching etc, while a large portion of the remaining percentage rely on government benefits. When you are dependent on the government for a monthly wage or weekly payout you are ultimately placing yourself at their disposal, they can fundamentally dictate the rates of pay, hours of work, working duties performed and retirement age and there is really nothing you can do to change that because at least on a practical ‘base level’, the government run the show. Once the Illuminati have got the vast majority of the population serving and dependent on them for a salary and ultimately their lively hood, it becomes much easier for them to then begin to change things to better suit their agenda without a great deal of resistance from the people.
Ideally, the Illuminati want all of this to be implemented unbeknown to the general population but it matters not if there is some resistance so long as they have the vast majority of the ignorant masses serving them as this is all they need for their agenda to be successfully implemented. This is why it is so important that you become aware of what is actually occurring around you at an increasing rate and that you also try to awaken others to the fact too. The real power truly does lie with the people but only if they are informed as to what is really going on.



You may ask why the relative few in power want to implement all of this and potentially risk being found out and have to face major resistance? The simple answer is that it is all they have ever known. They are not capable of comprehending another sense of reality and any alternative threatens them and their existence. When you look back at their ancestors it has always been the same story – a case of the few domineering the many. The need for power, hierarchy, and dominance over others are simply genetic traits of these people resulting from the close interbreeding they have engaged in for centuries.
It is completely natural in their eyes for them to want to ‘own’, control and dominate the world and it is viewed as perfectly acceptable to gain that through violence, force, and oppression because they simply don’t have the emotional characteristics we do, again, due to their ‘selective breeding’. They see us as a petty annoyance, something which is to be leveraged and used to their advantage and we are viewed and treated in much the same way we deal with cattle.
It is up to us however, the more rational, sane, non interbred ‘real’ people to wake up, alert others and then assert our natural inalienable rights say ‘no, no more, I will not allow this to happen any longer’, before it is too late and the Illuminati have gained enough power and control over our lives to prevent us from going back.
