Illuminati Conspiracy
Adam Weishaupt was born in Inglostadt, Germany, on February 6 1748. Educated by Jesuits, in 1775 at the age of 27 he became professor of natural and canon law at Inglostadt University, and was initiated in the Teodor Masonic lodge of the Good Council in Munich in 1777. It was a cosmopolitan who sneezed the fanatic superstitions of the priests of that time. He decided to establish an enlightened society to fight against injustice and so he did, founding the order that on May 1 1776, was to become the “Bavarian Illuminati” – The Illuminati conspiracy.
Originally called “Order of perfectibility”, its purpose was to allow members to unify to “obtain the highest possible degree of morality and virtue and to lay the foundation for the reform of the world, by unifying the best ones, to fight against the propagation of the bad behavior”.
Helped by influential people like Baron von Knigge, Xavier Zwack, and Baron Bassus, Weishaupt founded an order which has become extremely popular. Not much time has passed, and two thousand people have become members. The Illuminati conspiracy lodges were located in France, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. On June 22 1784, Bavarian authorities have issued a repressive decree to the order that they have repeated the next year in March and then again in August. That same year, 1785, Weishaupt was kicked out of education and sent to exile out of Bavaria.
After several attempts to abolish the order, it began to decline from the public and by the end of the century, apparently entirely disappeared. In 1786, authorities have made an illegal raid in Xavier Zwack’s house, the documents confiscated and used to suppress the order.
Many commentators have taken this decline for good. British encyclopedia barely mentions the Illuminati conspiracy like the vast majority of historical springs, the order is considered to be inconsiderable. Others believe that the Illuminati were dissolved into Freemasonry, spreading inside like cancer in a healthy body. Since then, they believe that the Illuminati conspiracy remained in Masonry gathering power and maneuvering the entire order.
In 1906, British Museum in London received a copy of a manuscript entitled Illuminati Protocols. First copies appear in Bavaria at the end of the 18th century, Joly used pieces of the document in an act in 1864. The copy received by the British Museum was written in Russian. Also interesting is that Adam Smith’s capitalist treaty, Wealth of the Nations, as well as the great democratic Treaty of America, the Independence Declaration, were written in 1776. It was suggested that Weishaupt may have been the mysterious man dressed in a black robe who presented the text of the Washington declaration. There was a rumor that the raid made at Zwack’s house happened by accident, because the authorities in 1784 had intercepted a document in which the chief of the French Illuminati branch, Robespierre, was trained on how to “orchestrate” the French Revolution of 1789. Alerts have been ignored, and the Revolution took place as planned.
To achieve its aim, Masons knew that their real target – the overturning of all governments and world religions, for peace and freedom to rule – was supposed to remain unknown. Thus, in order not to be part of the reprisals and as a way to avoid criticism and exposure, Masons had created the Illuminati as a shield-organization which takes over its fault any misdeed or obvious shortcoming. A strategy which for at least two centuries had worked great.
In 1902, Freemason William Westcott remembers that he received membership in the “Order of Perfectibility” by Theodore Reuss. Similarly, in 1913 occultist Eliphas Levi made a strong link between the Bavarian Illuminati conspiracy and Freemasonry. On the list of the most important Illuminati members is Marquis de Saint Germain de Constanzo. It may be interesting to learn that the Marquis de Saint Germain, the man suspected in general is thought to be the only immortal on earth. During the medieval history, he is said to have appeared as a wizard, alchemist and wise man. Who would be more appropriate to give a helpful hand in setting up the most resounding secret society in the world?
If you search, there is no evidence to suggest that the Illuminati conspiracy was more than a secret Bavarian society of short duration. If the trilogy Illuminatus! did not exist, the Illuminati would be just an obscure sect, lost in the footer notes of the history.
