The Illuminati

The Illuminati conspiracy theory claims that a super-secret society has penetrated governments, finance, science, business, and the entertainment industry , whether or not the Illuminati is a covert organization of reptilians with an esoteric agenda for global domination via subliminal enslavement, or a secret club of elites who throw strange occult parties, it does have a traceable origin similar in nature to the Freemasons.

The history of the The Illuminati

The Illuminati dates back to the mid-1700s to be exact the year the year 1776 founded by man named named Adam Weishaupt a Bavarian professor at the University of Ingoldstadt and a professor of law. Unfortunately, he butted heads with the Jesuit priests of the University. Adams world-views were more cosmopolitan and liberal than the bucolic, dogmatic views of the priesthood. In response, he created the Illuminati, a secret society promoting enlightenment as well as moral progress.

Back in the days of the mid-1700s the priesthood had significant political power revoked his academic credentials and had him banished from the country. He moved on to Germany where he was better received and free to form the foundation of the Illuminati and its philosophy.

The mission statement of Weishaupt’s Illuminati was, “by the mutual assistance of its members, to attain the highest possible degree of morality and virtue, and to lay the foundation for the reformation of the world by the association of good men to oppose the progress of moral evil.”

While his ambitions were ostensibly noble, Weishaupt intended to change the way European nations were run, by subversive means. Acceptance requirements to become a member of the Illuminati consisted primarily of wealth, societal influence and political pull. Members of the society consisted of bankers, politicians, doctors and those of general upper-class importance. Thus, planting the seeds for the modern conception or iteration of the Illuminati. One of the original member’s name that is still highly recognized and associated today with the Illuminati was Mayer Amschel Rothschild.

The Theories

The Illuminati has become a household term now with its popularization in media and pop culture.

he most notorious of the clandestine groups associated with the Illuminati is the Bilderberg Group. The Bilderbergers hold an annual meeting, which is no secret and is ostensibly held to discuss issues pertaining to European and North American relations.

This graph shows the members’ connections to a ton of corporations, charities, policy groups and media. There are tons of conspiracy theories about the group, including that they control the world economy.

We took the findings with a grain of salt–after all, it’s easy to trace an individual to a corporation and the graph doesn’t specify what influence the member wielded.

But perhaps it’s a compelling argument for why the meetings should be public.

Conspiracies surrounding the plans hashed out at Bilderberg meetings concern the plotting of a New World Order through methods ranging from population control, to the spread of pandemics, to Chemtrails, geo-engineering, and a secret space program.

Whether the Illuminati is real or still active is up for debate, but the clandestine Bilderberg meetings will undoubtedly continue to fuel conspiracies. Are they plotting diabolical schemes? And if there’s nothing to hide why is their membership kept so secret?
