There have been several different times that people have claimed they were "the chosen ones", or glorious to the point of worship. One such group of people were the Illuminati. The conspiracy of the Illuminati's existence was widespread in the late 18th century. Gossip spread throughout history and, to this day, some believe the Illuminati exist. They are paranoid in thinking the Illuminati are going to take over the world. The theory that the Illuminati exist is true. There is a secret cabal that calls itself the "Illuminati", or the enlightened ones.

The Illuminati was a secret society in Bavaria in the late 18th century. It tried to establish its own society through deceit and sabotage. The plan failed and the society was defeated. After defeat, some believed it was still a functioning group and spread rumors about the Illuminati taking over the world and starting a new order. This is where the theory about the Illuminati's plan originated. There are a lot of events and items that can be linked to the Illuminati in order to prove that they exist. The French and American Revolutions can both be linked to the Illuminati. The works of Adam Weishaupt and Thomas Jefferson both give evidence of the group. There are also documents of the beliefs and ceremonies the Illuminati followed. The Illuminati are still a functioning group and plan to begin the new world order.

The Illuminati was not always considered to be a threatening group. The Illuminati was thought to be part of the Freemasonry in England in the early 1700's. The Freemasonry was a craft guild that stressed religious tolerance, the equality of their male peers, the themes of classic liberalism and the Enlightenment. But not until Baron Adolf Franz Friedrich Ludwig von Knigge joined the Illuminati were the two groups combined.

By January 1782, Baron Adolf Franz Friedrich Ludwig von Knigge had rewritten their rituals in a form that both groups could understand. On May first 1776, Adam Weishaupt formally established the Illuminati of Bavaria. The Illuminati was soon disabled because it planned to take over the government. The government found written rituals that included poisoning political opponents of the Illuminati. These plans were never actually executed. Since the sack of the Bavarian Illuminati, there are those who have claimed that the Illuminati has disguised itself in many different forms. Some of these forms include: banking and money, secret society, political, intelligence, religious and educational. All of these forms have many organizations, some of which are still around today. The Illuminati has gone to desperate

measures to keep itself undercover and has caused mass paranoia throughout the world today.

Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati of Bavaria on May 1, 1776, on the principals of his early training as a Jesuit. He was appointed as Professor of Natural and Canon Law, which was a position that gave offence to the Church. He attacked the faults of the Church such as bigotry and indulgences. Weishaupt became so anti-church; he created his own order, The Illuminati. Abbй Augustin Barruel was a Jesuit priest known for inventing the idea of the Illuminati conspiracy theory. His main idea was that a very large secret conspiracy group was aimed for taking down Christianity. John Robison was another author who discussed the ideas of Adam Weishaupt and the order of the Illuminati. Adam Weishaupt, Abbй Augustin Barruel, and John Robison are the three most important people involved with the Illuminati. Adam Weishaupt was the basic founder. Abbй Augustin Barruel and John Robison.

were authors at the time of the creation of the Illuminati. There were many other people that were involved, but these were the main three.

One major controversy about the Illuminati is over whether or not it was involved in the beginning in the French Revolution. The works of Adam Weishaupt, The Abbй Augustus Barruel and John Robison are said to be linked to the French Revolution. But the most famous document that is linked to the Illuminati starting the French revolution is called "Croquis ou Projet de Monsieur de Mirabeau", by Mirabeau. This document outlined the exact plans of the French Illuminati. The document says, "We must overthrow all order, suppress all laws, annul all power, and leave the people in anarchy"(Payson). The plan of the Illuminati was to overthrow the government, install their own set of laws, then leave the country in anarchy. By leaving the country in a state of anarchy, the Illuminati hoped the citizens would start a revolution and create a new government to preserve their country. Right before the French Revolution, the rich controlled France. The majority of the country was poor. The French citizens were unhappy with the unfair taxing. The people were reading the books written by John Robison and Abbй Augustin Barruel. Louis XVI was the king at the time of the revolution, and some of his important nobles were taking part in freemasonry. When the freemasonry and the Illuminati combined into the Illuminati, those nobles became Illuminists. According to one of the Illuminati documents, a person who had an elite ranking in the Illuminati met with one of the high nobles, and told him to keep the money away from the public so they would start a revolution. And, of course, this is what

happened. The poor French citizens started a revolution. Therefore Illuminati were behind the beginning of the French revolution.

The Illuminati was also involved in the founding of America and the founding of Washington, D.C. Research shows that Sir Francis Bacon, an Illuminati leader, worked with Queen Elizabeth I to create the new capitol of the world. They wanted to make this capitol in North America, and make it the most powerful nation the world had ever seen. The name of their new kingdom was called, The New World Order. Sir Francis Bacon and Queen Anne planned to use the founding fathers to carry out their plans. The Illuminati was against Catholicism and it was anti-Semitic. Some parts of the Illuminati were in fact believers of Satan. The branch that informed the founding fathers of the new capitol happened to be satanic. Proof lies in the style of architecture and the placement of monuments and buildings.

The founding fathers such as Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were deeply involved in the Illuminati. They created secret centers in England, Germany and France where the Illuminati could work undercover. They were also called upon to design the new capitol in North America. They worked with an architect named Pierre
