The public record of the Illuminati is quite thin, but it does show that before it was exposed briefly in 1786 it had already enjoyed immense success in attracting into its outer rings some of the most prominent men of Europe. Its roster included important names in both government and finance. It was the most important single force behind the French Revolution.

[size="2"]George Washington warned about

the Illuminati in the United States.[/size][/floatright]Not only had the illuminati deeply penetrated the Grand Orient Lodges of France, and the Masonic Lodges of Germany, but it also was known in the United States. In 1798, George Washington, who was the first master of the Alexandria Masonic Lodge, composed a letter to a Reverend G. W. Snyder. Here is what Washington wrote:



[indent]Reverend Sir: It was not my intention to doubt that the doctrine of the Illuminati and the principles of Jacobinism, had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more satisfied of this fact that I am.



The idea I meant to convey was that I did not believe the Lodges of Freemasons in this country had, as societies, endeavored to propagate the diabolical tenets.



That individuals of them may have done it, or that the founder, or instruments employed to found the democratic societies in the United States may have had this object, and actually had a separation of the people from their government in view, is too evident to be questioned.

[size="2"]Karl Marx had joined a

conspiratorial circle called the

League of the Just. This group

later changed its name to the

Communist League.[/size][/floatright]Some years later, an obscure intellectual by the name of Karl Marx joined a conspiratorial circle called the League of the Just. Shortly afterward this group re-formed into still another organization called the Communist League, and, in 1847, they hired Marx to write their policy statement for the public. It was called the Communist Manifesto.



On the surface, the Manifesto appeared to be humanitarian call to the workers of the world to arise against their alleged capitalist exploiters. But it should be noted that the project was supervised by Frederick Engles, a capitalist of substantial wealth. Marx himself was so unimportant that for the first twenty years after its publication his name did not even appear on the Manifesto.



In 1920, just three years after the Bolsheviks seized Russia, Winston Churchill declared:

[indent][From] the days of Sparticus Weishaupt of those of Karl Marx, to those of Trotsky, Bela-Kuhn, Rosa Luxembourg and Emma Goldman, this world-wide conspiracy ... has been steadily growing. This conspiracy played a definitely recognizable role in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the nineteenth century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads, and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.

[size="2"]Winston Churchill recognized that

the Bolsheviks who seized Russia

in the name of Communism were

merely acting on behalf of the

illuminati, that older conspiracy

dating back to Adam Weishaupt.[/size][/floatright]In 1953, the Report of the California Senate Investigating Committee on Education contained an extremely revealing conclusion. It said:

[indent]So-called modern Communism is apparently the same hypocritical and deadly world conspiracy to destroy civilization that was founded by the secret order of the Illuminati in Bavaria on May 12, 1776, and that raised its hoary head in our colonies here at the critical period before the adoption of our Federal Constitution.

[/indent]

The symbol of the all-seeing eye is closely associated with the Illuminati. Like many other features of this conspiracy, apparently it was taken by Adam Weishpaut from the occult symbolism of ancient history. It appears today among the symbols of the Rosicrucians, the Freemasons, and many others around the world, including the Cao Dai in South Vietnam.



Undoubtedly, it is merely a coincidence that the all-seeing eye now appears on the alternate side of the Great Seal of the Federal Government and also on the one dollar note of the Federal Reserve System.



At the bottom of the Seal, in Roman numerals, there is the date 1776. This, of course, is the year of American Independence. Undoubtedly, it is merely a coincidence that it is also the year of the founding of the Illuminati.



[floatleft]Each year, May First is celebrated by communists

the world over as a day of international solidarity.

As mentioned previously, the Illuminati was also

founded on May First.[/floatleft]But, then, perhaps none of this is merely coincidence. Is it possible that both the Communist and Capitalist conspiracies have yet one more inner circle within the circle that is common to them both? Is it possible that both movements – unbeknownst to most of the people in them – are merely contemporary counterparts of a much older conspiracy? There is much evidence – far more than presented here – to indicate that this is the case, but, frankly, we don’t know. Until someone on the inside of such master conspiracy today, we simply have no way of finding our. But we do know that it is not impossible, and certainly not absurd.



What, then is our response? Fortunately, it in not necessary that we resolve the historical question of the conspiracy’s origin. Regardless of whether there is one controlling group, or two cooperating, or three competing, or four, or ten – in practical terms of what can be done about it, our response must be the same.



Conspiracy, as it operated at the highest level in the United States today, rests upon two solid foundations and enjoys the protection of shelter. If we could knock out its foundations it would collapse, and if we could strip away its shelter, it would wither and die.



The shelter is secrecy. The foundation are big government and manipulation of money. No conspiracy can stand the light of exposure. No conspiracy can rule the masses without the tool of an extensive government bureaucracy. And certainly no “capitalist” conspiracy can long survive without control over the nation’s money.



Expose the conspiracy. Reduce the size of government. Return our money to a standard that cannot be manipulated. This must be our response.



Stay tuned...
