A Look At The Illuminati | Masonic

Illuminati is the name that refers to secret groups, historical or modern, real or fictive. From an historic point of view, the term Illuminati refers to the group from Bavaria, named Bavarian Illuminati, founded on May 1, 1776. Today the Illuminati term is often used to describe an evil group that holds the power of the world. In this conspiracy context, the term Illuminati is used as a reference for the New World Order. There are people that believe that the Illuminati are behind the events that will lead to establishing a new world power.
The Illuminati represents one of the biggest guidance points of the conspiracy theory. It is a very enigmatic group about which the believers of the conspiracy believe that they are behind all the things that happen in the capitalist, communist, island or catholic world, in the British Royal family, in the United States presidency, inside the European Union or United Nations, of masonry, templar knights and even in the world of the aliens – everything is connected to the Illuminati, the secret rulers of the world.
Who were the Illuminati and why are their credited with such extraordinary powers ?
Founding and Organization of the Order
The Illuminati was a group founded in Bavaria, Germany, at the end of 17th century by Adam Weishaupt, a Law Professor at the University of Ingolstadt. Very much in love with the illuminating ideas, he decided to create this group of republican colleagues followers of the free though, and to be clandestine because at that time it was very dangerous to have these ideas. Along with Baron Adolph Von Knigge, they formed the group on May 1, 1776, naming it Perfectibilis. Later, it’s followers were named Illuminate. They were often named The Order of Illuminati or the Bavarian Illuminati.
Illuminati have managed to start many branches in most European countries even since the first years of existence of the order, many intellectuals and progressive and influential  politicians joined as members of the group. Among them, many celebrities like Goethe. The total number of members were 2000.
The radical ideas of the group has soon attracted the disgrace of the Catholic Church, which in 1784 convinced the Bavarian government to vote a law that denied the secret societies like Illuminati of Freemasons. The order suffered because of the internal problems and eventually fell apart in 1790.
Unique World Government
As soon as the order started to fell apart, conspiracy theories have started to appear. In 1797, a french cleric, Augustin Barruel, published the Memoirs book, in which he launched a conspiracy theory targeting freemasons, illuminati and other secret societies. The next year, John Robinson published a book in which he presented a conspiracy, according to which the Illuminati was planning the replace of all religions with humanism and the replacement of all States with a single World Government.
The theory became credible after the similarities between the Masons and Illuminati, combined with the manipulation of the society. Thomas Jefferson, president of the United States said that he understood why the Illuminate were obligated to became secret, because of precaution in case of releasing  information of pure morality principles.
Rumors have appeared that said that the president of the US is an Illuminati. Rumors have also started to appear implicating the Illuminati in the United States affairs. The all seeing pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States was quoted as representing a secret symbol created by high raking officials of the Illuminati, who’s intention were to show to the americans that the all seeing eye of their order is watching over them. All of these are also shown on the US bills.
It was also suggested that the secret society, Skull and Bones was founded as a US branch of the Illuminati. In modern times, conspiracy theories regarding the Illuminati have become more and more bizarre, real fantasies.
Maybe one of the most extraordinary of all theories regarding the Illuminati is that created by a former British football player, David Icke. According to him, the Illuminati are the real secret leaders of the world, however their order dates long before Bavaria in 1780. Actually, according to Icke, ” The Illuminati are aliens who control the world for thousands of years” or that they are hidden under the aspect of today’s leaders.
According to Icke, the Illuminati have came from another dimension, or from another galaxy, and they helped us advance technologically. The theory of Icke was not so successful.. and we believe that you can guess why!
Writers like Mark Dice, David Icke, Ryan Burke and others, claim that the Illuminati survived and they exists even today. Conspiracy lovers have stated that many important people were the members of the Illuminati group, people like Winston Churchill, The Bush Family, Barack Obama, The Rothschild family, David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski.
