    Number one: don't take anything Dan Brown has to say seriously. And -

    Number two: don't take anything Dan Brown has to say seriously.

    Two rules to live by.

      Let me guess, he stole your work too?

    2. greencurmudgeon
      @crpitt

      If Dan Brown stole my work, I'd be the last person to admit it - that would indicate I had a role in the literary pain he's inflicted on the world.
    3. dsriharsha

      Deception point and Digital fortress.. not so much

    If you are looking for a good read...

    "Several members of the Alaska Legislature found Myron Fagan's exposé on the Illuminati and Council on Foreign Relations to be of great importance and had their staff members make a transcript."

    Does anyone know, whether this secret group is good or bad ?

    If you read Dan Brown, you may conclude that the Illuminati is imaginary and just a conspiracy from the Vatican's Guy.

    Dan Brown's Illuminati historical perspective is very poor, it doesn't even mention Adam Weishaupt the founder of the Illuminati.

    In fact many people think that this group has never existed, they just didn't do their work of research because you can find the very proof of their existence in Georges Washington Lettes in US National Archive:

    www.primaryhistoricalsources.com/2009/05/illuminati-in-george-washingtons.h...

    In fact search by yourself by typing Illuminati :

    Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources, 1745-1799. John C. Fitzpatrick, Editor.

    [Note 7: Of Fredericktown (now Frederick), Md.]

    Mount Vernon, September 25, 1798.

    Sir: Many apologies are due to you, for my not acknowledging the receipt of your obliging favour of the 22d. Ulto, and for not thanking you, at an earlier period, for the Book8 you had the goodness to send me.

    [Note 8: Proofs of a Conspiracy &c, by John Robison.]

    I have heard much of the nefarious, and dangerous plan, and doctrines of the Illuminati, but never saw the Book until you were pleased to send it to me.9 The same causes which have prevented my acknowledging the receipt of your letter have prevented my reading the Book, hitherto; namely, the multiplicity of matters which pressed upon me before, and the debilitated state in which I was left after, a severe fever had been removed. And which allows me to add little more now, than thanks for your kind wishes and favourable sentiments, except to correct an error you have run into, of my Presiding over the English lodges in this Country. The fact is, I preside over none, nor have I been in one more than once or twice, within the last thirty years. I believe notwithstanding, that none of the Lodges in this Country are contaminated with the principles ascribed to the Society of the Illuminati. With respect I am &c.

    [Note 9: In a letter from Snyder (Aug. 22, 1798, which is in the Washington Papers), it is stated that this book "gives a full Account of a Society of Free-Masons, that distinguishes itself by the Name of 'Illuminati,' whose Plan is to overturn all Government and all Religion, even natural."]



    The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources, 1745-1799. John C. Fitzpatrick, Editor.

    Mount Vernon, October 24, 1798.

    Revd Sir: I have your favor of the 17th. instant before me; and my only motive to trouble you with the receipt of this letter, is to explain, and correct a mistake which I perceive the hurry in which I am obliged, often, to write letters, have led you into.

    It was not my intention to doubt that, the Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am.

    The idea that I meant to convey, was, that I did not believe that the Lodges of Free Masons in this Country had, as Societies, endeavoured to propagate the diabolical tenets of the first, or pernicious principles of the latter (if they are susceptible of seperation). That Individuals of them may have done it, or that the founder, or instrument employed to found, the Democratic Societies in the United States, may have had these objects; and actually had a seperation of the People from their Government in view, is too evident to be questioned.

    My occupations are such, that but little leisure is allowed me to read News Papers, or Books of any kind; the reading of letters, and preparing answers, absorb much of my time. With respect, etc.

    Are the Illuminati still alive today ?

    Well maybe as in Los Angeles Times Service June7, 1987 about Yale’s elitist fraternity author Duncan Maxwell Anderson describes how the Skull & Bones founder, William H. Russell, had gone to Germany “with members of a university fraternity that had ties to a radical Masonic group called the Barvarian Illuminati.”

    Skull & Bones to which Bush and Kerry belong but so secret they didn't want to talk about when asked in presidential campaign interview:

    Indeed. Imo, it matters little how one calls them (Illuminati, globalists, Luciferians...), fact is there is a group of a few thousand people hell bent on carrying out a one world government prophecy, with a handful of banking families acting as a spearhead.

    As we are on the subject, after having read quite a bit on the subject, I have yet to hear a better explanation to the origin of the expression "war to end all wars" (la "der des der" in French)than the suggestion that it proceeds from Bible prophecy (Isaie 2:1-4)

    Note: imo, this worldview would be limited to the "Illuminati" cult

    Isaiah 2:1-4:

    "1 The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

    2. Now it will come about that

    In the last days

    The mountain of the house of the LORD

    Will be established as the chief of the mountains,

    And will be raised above the hills;

    And all the nations will stream to it.

    3. And many peoples will come and say,

    "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,

    To the house of the God of Jacob;

    That He may teach us concerning His ways

    And that we may walk in His paths."

    For the law will go forth from Zion

    And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

    4. And He will judge between the nations,

    And will render decisions for many peoples;

    And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.

    Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they learn war."

      Please stop the Bible Holy Shits. There's no need to go into Irrationality.
  10. harveyavatar
    Dude, don't ask me to stop (i.e. I am not the one who is into prophecies). If you don't believe there are spiritual underpinnings to all this jazz, you are naive.
  11. flamingpoodle
    The Illuminati is coming to get you for posting about them on a public forum. They're Illuminaughty like that.

    Illuminaughty
    A group of emotionally immature, narcissistic closet cases who act out on drugs and think their childish preoccupation with sex is the expression of a highly evolved intellect.

    Clearly, none of you have read The Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illuminatus!_Trilogy
    1. elitethinker
      Doesn't prove anything: it's just fiction. Stick to reality ! Historical facts are enough.
    2. flamingpoodle
      Speaking of RAW:
      Everybody who has ever worked for a corporation knows that corporations conspire all the time. Politicians conspire all the time, pot-dealers conspire not to get caught by the narcs, the world is full of conspiracies. Conspiracy is natural primate behavior

      It. Was. A. Joke. Lighten up, "thinker".

    Im told that the Illuminati are based apon a secret race of alien reptillian humanoids who control the world via their new world order.
    Remember the tv show "V". Its just like that.

    They are among us with people such as George bush, camilla parker bowles and Kris Kristopherson to name a few
    1. elitethinker
      Why don't those people stop with the Holy Bible or Aliens shits ?!!!
    2. Sam1982
      Because people like to believe bogus conspiracy theories. They want to believe that there is more to life that whats black and white and straight forward to them.
    3. elitethinker
      I can't see why you want to mix your Aliens shit in the story ? Do you have proof ? Then stop your aliens craps.
    4. elitethinker
      like astrological proofs
  15. harveyavatar
    People also like to believe in bogus coincidence theories

    I can remember back in 1963 taking the Civilizations course at Georgetown taught by Carrol Quigley. He talked about various so-called secret groups (how secret can it be if you are talking about them) including the Illuminati and the Cognoscenti, which had roots in Europe going way back. When you get into this stuff you are one-step away from "the so-and-so's run everything" kind of thinking.

    We humans seem to have a need to believe that someone somewhere is in charge and actually has a plan. Well, I'm still waiting.

      Like you I'm still waiting ... lol
    2. elitethinker
      You're still waiting ? The train is already gone: it's called Amero, WTO, Codex Alimentarius, etc... it's all about Economics and Financial stuffs, the problem is 99% of people don't understand these stuffs because they're so uneducated.

      The CIA and British Intelligence forecast the crushing of Middle class in America & Europe for 2030/35 and with it the come back of fascism, because of course when people will tend to revolt gov repression will follow. They also say it will be due to global offshoring that will start after 2020.

    "how secret can it be if you are talking about them"

    Precisely,they are out in the open, but "people" simply don't care.

      Rockefeller said in Times Mag that the elites don't need to hide the name of secret groups anymore because they have advanced their goal enough so that it's too late for people to react.

      Still Bush & Kerry refuse to answer the journalists whereas the Skull & Bones oath is above the Oath they make to the Nations:

    People and cultures have long created answers to questions that vex them. The "illuminati" and such are of the same mold as sun gods and mermaids.

    Modern geopolitical macroeconomics and finance is stupefyingly complex, and like any unfathomable phenomenon, there are folks who will always seek simple answers to explain them. While there is no league of evil dudes pulling levers behind curtains, National interests and the race for wealth from depleting resources is a problem most people should still be aware of - and can be if the choose to.
