1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,300 Like the Free Masons, the Illuminati, their concepts and esoteric knowledge, traces back thousands 2 00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:12,140 of years to the Egyptian mystery schools and religion. 3 00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:19,220 However, this order was first publicly identified in 1776, the same year America signed 4 00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:21,660 the Declaration of Independence. 5 00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:29,920 On May 1st 1776, May Day, Adam Weissopt, Professor of Law at Inglestadt University, officially 6 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,340 formed the Bavarian Illuminati. 7 00:00:33,340 --> 00:00:38,900 Fritz Springmire wrote, The Illuminati is the continuation of the mystery religions of Babylon 8 00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:45,100 and Egypt, and the bloodlines of the Illuminati go back to people who at one time lived in Babylon 9 00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:46,900 and Egypt. 10 00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:47,500 David I. 11 00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:53,380 wrote, The Bloodlines and The Illuminati secret society network through which they manipulate 12 00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:57,460 has been the force behind many of the major empires of history. 13 00:00:57,460 --> 00:01:03,080 In ancient times, Sumer and Babylon were both headquarters for the Illuminati in the land 14 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,820 now called Iraq, and Egypt was also extremely important to them. 15 00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:13,740 It was the accounts, texts, and artifacts from Sumer and Babylon that were burned or looted 16 00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:18,800 from Iraqi museums in the wake of the American and British invasion. 17 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,680 After Babylon, the Illuminati bloodline network moved its headquarters to Rome, and it 18 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,480 was during this time that we had the Roman Empire and the creation of the Roman Church 19 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,360 or institutionalized Christianity. 20 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,040 The Roman Catholic Church structure controlled by the Jesuit secret society remains at 21 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,680 the heart of Illuminati operations. 22 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:44,000 The operational headquarters moved into northern Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire, 23 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000 and for a period it was based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. 24 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,080 This was when the Dutch began to build their empire through the Dutch East India Company, 25 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,320 and they settled South Africa. 26 00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:02,040 In 1688, William of Orange, one of the bloodlines, invaded England from the Netherlands, 27 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,200 and took the throne as William III in 1689. 28 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:12,840 William ruled jointly with Queen Mary and then by himself after her death in 1691. 29 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,560 In that year, William signed the charter that created the Bank of England, and the global 30 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,360 banking system began to emerge. 31 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,440 The banking and manufactured debt has always been one of the main vehicles used by the 32 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,000 bloodlines to control humanity. 33 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,920 From this time, the bloodlines and their Illuminati secret society network moved their center 34 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,960 of operation to London, and what followed, of course, was the great and enormous British Empire. 35 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,800 This was not the Empire of the British in truth, but that of the Illuminati bloodlines 36 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,600 based in Britain. 37 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,200 This expansion of the British and other European empires to all parts of the world exported 38 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,920 the bloodlines to every continent, including most importantly today, North America. 39 00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:04,200 Adam Wysopps, Illuminati, was designed to be an organization so elusive, so secretive, 40 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,440 as to hide its membership within other secret societies. 41 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:13,880 Wysopps wrote in his journal that Free Masonry was in fact the organization most fit for 42 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,600 infiltration by the Illuminati. 43 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,360 Adam Wysopps wrote, 44 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,040 The great strength of our order lies in its concealment, 45 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,560 let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, 46 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,480 and another occupation. 47 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,240 None is fitter than the three lower degrees of Free Masonry. 48 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:39,560 The public is accustomed to it, expect little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it. 49 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:46,040 Next to this, the form of a learned or literary society is best suited to our purpose. 50 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,560 And had Free Masonry not existed, this cover would have been employed, and it may be much more 51 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,040 than a cover. 52 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,880 It may be a powerful engine in our hands, by establishing reading societies and subscription 53 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,360 libraries, and taking these under our direction, and supplying them through our labors, 54 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360 we may turn the public mind which way we will. 55 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,480 In like manner, we must try to obtain an influence in the military academies, this may be 56 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,320 of mighty consequence. 57 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:20,160 The printing houses, booksellers shops, chapters, and in short, all offices which have any 58 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,520 effect, either informing or in managing, or even in directing the mind of man. 59 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,720 Painting and engraving are highly worthy of our care. 60 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,360 Wysopps himself showed little respect for the brotherhood of Free Masonry and mocked its 61 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,600 structure in his journals. 62 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,960 He knew just as the bloodlines atop the worldwide secret society pyramid know that the whole 63 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,880 hierarchical structure of passing formal degrees is an unnecessary process. 64 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,600 If the point is to learn a cult subjects and become allummed, then there is no need for 65 00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:00,440 degrees, no need to slowly reveal secrets, no need for the rituals, rewards, and regalia. 66 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,000 Adam Wysopps wrote, 67 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,720 of all the means I know to lead man, the most effectual is a concealed mystery. 68 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,800 The hankering of the mind is irresistible, and if one's a man has taken into his head 69 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,920 that there is a mystery and a thing, it is impossible to get it out either by argument 70 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,800 or experience. 71 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,440 And then we can so change notions by merely changing a word. 72 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:30,240 What more contemptible than fanaticism, but call it enthusiasm, then add the little word 73 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,400 noble, and you may lead him over the world. 74 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,480 For their sakes, and to rivet still faster their own feathers, they engage in the most 75 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,560 corrupting of all employment, and for what? 76 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,480 To learn something more of an order of which every degree explodes the doctrine of a former 77 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,120 one, would it have hurt the young alumnatus to have it explained to him all at once? 78 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,320 Would not this fire his mind? 79 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,400 When he sees with the same glance the great object and the fitness of the means for attaining 80 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,400 it? 81 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,280 Would not the exalted characters of the superior, so much excelling himself in talents and 82 00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:10,680 virtue when happiness, otherwise the order is good for nothing, warm his heart, and 83 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,960 fill him with emulation, since he sees in them that what is so strongly preached to him 84 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,960 is an attainable thing. 85 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,320 No, no, it is all a trick. 86 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:26,520 He must be kept like a child, amused with rattles and stars and ribbons, and all the satisfaction 87 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:33,360 he obtains is, like the mason's, the fun of seeing others running the same gauntlet. 88 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:39,640 John Robison was a mason invited to join the Illuminati in the late 18th century. 89 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,920 After investigating the order, Robison declined the invitation and published a book which 90 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:51,040 offered his conclusions, instead, called proofs of a conspiracy against all the religions 91 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,400 and governments of Europe, carried on in the secret meetings of free mason's Illuminati 92 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,640 and reading societies. 93 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,000 John Robison wrote, 94 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,800 In short, I have found that the covert of a mason lodge had been employed in every country 95 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:11,480 for venting and propagating sentiments in religion and politics that could not have circulated 96 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,600 in public without exposing the author to great danger. 97 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,320 I found that this impunity had gradually encouraged men of licentious principles to become 98 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:27,080 more bold and to teach doctrines subversive of all our notions of morality, of all our 99 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,800 confidence in the moral government of the universe, of all our hopes of improvement in 100 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,840 a future state of existence, and of all satisfaction and contentment with our present 101 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,320 life, so long as we live in a state of civil subordination. 102 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,880 I have been able to trace these attempts made through a course of 50 years. 103 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:51,000 I have observed these doctrines gradually diffusing and mixing with all the different systems 104 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:57,400 of free masonry, till at last an association has been formed for the express purpose of rooting 105 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:03,240 out all the religious establishments and overturning all the existing governments of Europe. 106 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:09,080 I have seen this association exerting itself zealously and systematically till it has become 107 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:14,360 almost irresistible, and I have seen that the most active leaders in the French Revolution 108 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:20,280 were members of this association and conducted their first movements according to its principles 109 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:25,080 and by means of its instructions and assistance, formerly requested and obtained. 110 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:31,320 And lastly, I have seen that this association still exists, still works in secret. 111 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,040 The association of which I have been speaking is the Order of Illuminati, 112 00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:44,360 abolished in 1786 by the Elector of Bevaria, but revived immediately after, under another name, 113 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,840 and in a different form all over Germany. 114 00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:53,880 It was again detected and seemingly broken up, but it had by this time taken so deep route 115 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:59,800 that it still subsists without being detected and has spread into all the countries of Europe. 116 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,280 George Washington himself said, 117 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,760 it was not my intention to doubt that the doctrines of the Illuminati had not spread in the United States. 118 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,400 On the contrary, no one is more fully satisfied of this fact than I am. 119 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:21,640 As Robison alluded, the Illuminati was abolished in 1786, but was then revived immediately after, 120 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,920 under different names. It became increasingly obvious to the good guys of European 121 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,960 free masonry that even more drastic measures would have to be taken against the Illuminati. 122 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:39,080 In 1794, the Duke of Brunswick, the Grand Master of German free masonry, wrote a letter to his 123 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:45,320 brethren recommending the dissolution of the entire organization due to the fact that it had been 124 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:51,160 infiltrated and was being manipulated by unseen hands. The Duke of Brunswick wrote, 125 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:58,440 I have been convinced that we, as an order, have come under the power of some very evil occult order, 126 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:04,920 profoundly versed in science, both occult and otherwise, though not infallible, their methods 127 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:11,640 being black magic, that is to say electromagnetic power, hypnotism, and powerful suggestion. 128 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:19,080 We are convinced that the order is being controlled by some sun order. After the nature of the Illuminati, 129 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:25,960 if not by that order itself. We see our edifice crumbling and covering the ground with ruins. 130 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:31,960 We see the destruction that our hands no longer arrest. A great sect arose, which taking for its 131 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,480 motto, the good and the happiness of man, worked in the darkness of the conspiracy to make the 132 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:44,040 happiness of humanity a prey for itself. This sect is known to everyone. Its brothers are known 133 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,400 no less than its name. It is they who have undermined the foundations of the order to the point 134 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:55,960 of complete overthrow. It is by them that all humanity has been poisoned and let us stray for several 135 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:02,600 generations. They began by casting Odeum on religion. Their masters had nothing less in view than 136 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,160 the thrones of the earth, and the governments of the nations was to be directed by their 137 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:13,720 nocturnal clubs. The misuse of our order has produced all the political and moral troubles 138 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:19,160 with which the world is filled today. We must from this moment dissolve the whole order. 139 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:27,080 The Illuminati, just 18 years after its official formation, was so powerful and influential 140 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,280 that its infiltration into Masonry caused the Duke of Brunswick to try and quote, 141 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:38,600 dissolve the whole order. Neither free Masonry nor the Illuminati were dissolved, however, 142 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,760 and their power and influence has only increased in the centuries since. 143 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:50,520 Ralph Eperson wrote, and in 1812 the president at Harvard University, Joseph Willard, 144 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:57,000 retired to preach in Vermont. He took the occasion of his retirement on July 4th, 1812, 145 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,240 to express his concern over the consequences of the then-looming war. He said, quote, 146 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,520 there is sufficient evidence that a number of societies of the Illuminati have been established in 147 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:14,200 this land. They are doubtless striving to secretly undermine all our ancient institutions, 148 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:20,200 civil and sacred. These societies are clearly leaked with those of the same order in Europe. 149 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:26,600 We live in an alarming period. The enemies of all order are seeking our ruin. 150 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:34,040 Should infidelity generally prevail, our independence would fall, of course. Our Republican 151 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:41,400 government would be annihilated. Nessa Webster wrote, the art of Illuminism lay in enlisting 152 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:47,320 dupes as well as addicts, and by encouraging dreams of honest visionaries or the schemes of 153 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:54,440 fanatics. By flattering the vanity of ambitious ego-tests, by working on unbalanced brains, 154 00:12:54,440 --> 00:13:00,200 or by playing such passions as greed and power, to make men of totally divergent aims, 155 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:06,440 serve the secret purpose of the sect. People with money were welcomed, but kept oblivious of 156 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:14,760 actual secrets. The purpose is to win power and riches.
