Dacia Iluministă

For Us or Against Us?:

We receive many questions and enquiries. Two of the most persistent questions are shown below.

Dear Sirs,

I am having some trouble fully understanding your mission and views. Two questions:

1) Are you for, or against, the new world order? Why?

2) Do you view Lucifer as good or evil (Satanic)? Why? If either of my questions is inherently flawed due to a fundamental misunderstanding please educate me.

Thank you.

Responses to these and follow-up issues are provided below.

1) Are you for, or against, the new world order? Why?

If someone is opposed to a “new world order”, it implies that they are content with the current world order. Who, other than those controlling the world, would be happy with the current state of affairs? Do you believe that you are leading the sort of life to which your talents entitle you? Are you being held back because you do not have the right “name”, the right “connections”? Do you see untalented people all around you who are doing far better than you? Do you feel dissatisfied at a profound level? Are you aware that something is fundamentally wrong with the way the world is ordered? You can’t quite put your finger on it, but you know this can’t be the way things were meant to be.

The Illuminati, in relation to their secular mission, seek to disrupt the functioning of the Old World Order: the overt power structure that rules the world and holds so many in its thrall (there is also a covert power structure). A new world order is in the interests of all, bar the current rulers of the world. Everyone who is not one of the Old World Order rulers should be doing everything in their power to topple the Old World Order. So, yes, we are entirely supportive of a new world order that will sweep away the corruption of the old, criminal order.

It is absurd for people to campaign against a hypothetical new world order rather than resist the current world order. It is the present that shapes the future and it is the past that shapes the present. The Old World Order have controlled humanity for millennia and have been resisted for millennia, with the Illuminati leading the resistance. The Old World Order controlled the past, they control the present and they will control the future unless the people awake from their slumbers.

To prevent the people from waking up is one of the Old World Order’s primary missions. In the past they favoured brute coercion, but their tactics have evolved to an astonishing degree of sophistication. They almost never use crude tactics nowadays. They are masters of psychological manipulation. The most useful form of slavery is the one in which the slaves imagine they are free. The Old World Order does not need death camps or barbed wire or electrified fences or soldiers or police or cattle wagons or surveillance or spies or enforcers. People, voluntarily, don the chains of slavery and bow down to their masters. Is that not genius? If you cannot appreciate the skill of the Old World Order, you can never triumph over them.

Every four years Americans go to the polls to vote for their own enslavement. At the end of each presidential term, the great family dynasties that rule the world still rule the world. Nothing changes. Puppet politicians posture in front of the cameras, but the power structures of the Old World Order remain in place, more secure than ever.

If you want an example of how the Old World Order operates, consider this: David Cameron, the British Prime Minister, attended Eton College (the most exclusive private school in the world) then went to Oxford University, one of the world’s most elite universities, where he joined the Bullingdon Club: a secretive, elite society exclusively for extremely wealthy students (rather like Yale’s Skull and Bones). He is married to the daughter of Viscountess Astor. His close friend, the second-in-command of the Conservative Party and Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, is Gideon (George) Osborne, another person who went to an elite private school, then Oxford University, where he also joined the Bullingdon Club. Osborne’s father is a baronet.

Osborne has friends like investment banker Nathaniel Rothschild (Eton, Oxford University, Bullingdon Club, son of Baron Rothschild, member of the notorious Rothschild banking dynasty). In Corfu, they had dinner on the luxury yacht of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, one of the richest men in the world (and one of the handful of men who mysteriously took possession of huge chunks of Russian industry at almost no cost when Soviet Communism collapsed). Also in attendance was Lord Mandelson (grandson of Baron Morrison and a senior member of the former UK government, and also an Oxford man, like his close friend Tony Blair, a former prime minister. Blair went to school at Fettes College, Scotland’s version of Eton).

This is how the Old World Order operate. Well-connected, wealthy, privileged people meet on the yachts of the super-rich to carve up the world between them. All of the important decisions that so crucially affect the lives of ordinary people are taken in these secret meetings behind firmly closed doors. The changes in financial regulation that led to the catastrophic credit crunch were taken at such meetings. The Old World Order decide what is best for themselves and then carry out these policies “in the name of the people”. They don’t consult the people, they don’t care about the people, yet they expect the people to vote for them. And, remarkably, the people do.

Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, has a familiar background: Eton, Oxford, Bullingdon Club. In the USA, the members of secret societies like Skull and Bones and Bohemian Grove carve up America. Aren’t you getting the picture? Why are these people allowed to get away with it? Who is standing up to them? You? Or are you waving your flag and voting for them? Did you vote for George W Bush (Skull and Bones), or his father (Skull and Bones)? Were either of these men talented in any way, or did they rise to the top of the nation because their name was Bush?

If you want to help the Old World Order then watch your junk TV, play your junk video games, worship your celebrities, go see your sporting gods, vote in elections, drink yourselves into a stupor, take drugs every day, buy a property you can’t afford and spend your life repaying the debt, hold down a soul-destroying job, say prayers to false gods in fake churches, shop till you drop in shopping mall temples of commercialism. The Old World Order will pat you on the head like the nice, compliant little dogs you are.

If you want a better future you must work for a new world order and do everything to resist the Old World Order. The Zeitgeist movies are a good introduction to how the Old World Order operates, the means it uses to systematically deceive humanity and maintain its power indefinitely. Democracy, like mainstream religion, is a means to bind the people to their own enslavement. The antidote to democracy is meritocracy.

Isn’t it time to face the truth? If you haven’t gone to the right schools and colleges, if you don’t have the right name and the right connections, you are almost certain to be a nobody in life. Is that what you want? If not, join the resistance. Stand up to the Old World Order.

Of course, the Illuminati is a secret society too, but no one who belongs to any of the Old World Order power structures can ever be admitted to the Illuminati. The Illuminati is a strict meritocracy and mostly consists of highly intelligent individuals (including autodidacts) who are capable of understanding the great mystery that the Illuminati have protected for millennia.

2) Do you view Lucifer as good or evil (Satanic)? Why?

The world’s main religions are entirely false. They are the creation of false prophets working for the Old World Order. They are a central means of psychological control of the masses.

The word Satan means “Adversary”. Lucifer means Light Bearer. Do these names have any connection with Evil? Do not listen to the preachers of falsehoods. Are 9/11, the Inquisition, witch burnings, extermination camps, torture, war, crusades, suicide bombings, pogroms, massacres, persecutions, the works of people who believe in a benign, peace-loving God of love? Or of those who believe in a God who is a sadistic monster who bathes in blood and glorifies cruelty, injustice, greed, horror and terror? Would any decent person worship the Allah of the 9/11 hijackers? What kind of person would expect to be rewarded by “God” for slaughtering thousands of people in a sickening bloodbath?

Do not be obsessed with labels. The names Satan and Lucifer have become so corrupted by misuse that they mean practically nothing now. The Armageddon Conspiracy pits Lucifer against Satan, and equates Satan with Allah/Jehovah/God.

Lucifer, as defined in The Armageddon Conspiracy, is the True God’s chief and most beloved angel. Satan (Allah/Jehovah/God) is the True God’s implacable enemy. The crucial issue is whether you worship the True God, or have been deceived into worshipping a false God.

So, unless we know what you mean by Satan/Lucifer, we cannot say whether we view him as good or evil. Lucifer, as we define him, holds a position of extreme honour and is most certainly on the side of good. He is the standard bearer of the forces of light against the hordes of darkness.

Similarly, the term “New World Order” is often portrayed in extremely negative terms thanks to the highly effective propaganda of the Old World Order, and may or may not mean something sinister, depending on your stance and what you’ve seen, heard and read.

Follow-Up.

Thank you for your response. In an effort to clarify certain matters you have introduced, I have several follow-up questions. But first I believe it would be helpful to more carefully define “new world order”, as it seems there are at least 2 different definitions.

You say that “If someone is opposed to a “new world order”, it implies that they are content with the current world order.” I’m not so sure everyone would agree with that depending on how you define it…

As I’m sure you are aware, there are now many sources (proliferating by the day) that warn of an impending “new world order” wherein the not-so-insidious goal is the further consolidation of power via formation of a one world government, a one world army, and a one world bank to be controlled by the elite few in a totalitarian type state (often termed “global enslavement”) (let’s term it “NWO- 1”). However, you seem to be defining new world order very differently – i.e. as a meritocracy (let’s term it “NWO-2”). NWO-1 and NWO-2 seem to be extremely different visions. Please compare, contrast, and clarify. Are you in favor of both or just the latter? Why?

If NWO-2 is your utopia, what is the roadmap to getting there? Is NWO-1 an intermediate (or unnecessary) step? Please explain…

You say that “the term ‘New World Order’ is often portrayed in extremely negative terms thanks to the highly effective propaganda of the Old World Order.” Are you suggesting that the current negative views by many regarding NWO-1 is actually emanating from those in power, or are you again really referring to your NWO-2 here? See how confusing it is to speak of NWO without properly defining it and clearly differentiating your definition from that of others…

In your “Conspiracy Theories” section on your website you seem to be debunking many conspiracy theories as a whole. This seems at odds with your apparent promotion of the Zeitgeist movie which, as you know, presents a number of conspiracy theories. Please resolve this apparent inconsistency. Which conspiracies do you endorse? Which don’t you endorse?

Thank you.

Response.

If a uniquely powerful secret society intent on world domination has existed for thousands of years, it follows that the world we see today is the product of their handiwork. If the world we see around us is not their creation then clearly they do not have the power claimed for them, and hence there is no reason to fear them. Either a supremely potent organisation exists that makes the world dance to its tune, or it doesn’t. If it does exist, this must be its world. Not a future world, this world.

The Illuminati state that the world of today is very close to the one envisioned by those – the enemies of the Illuminati – who seek to perpetually exploit and enslave humanity. The idea that enslavement necessarily consists of chains and concentration camps is risible. A sophisticated secret society attempts to control populations through psychology rather than primitive force. Slaves are much less efficient, and much more expensive and difficult to control, than dutiful workers who toil hard in the mistaken belief that they are helping themselves. In fact, the vast majority of people who go to work every day are doing little more than making their bosses (their masters in all but name) much richer. The super rich scarcely inhabit the same world as ordinary people now.

The British invented concentration camps in the Boer War in the 19th Century. If the masters of the world thought it was in their interest to deploy concentration camps you can be sure we would already be living in them. None of the people who warn of concentration camps ever have a convincing rationale for what purpose would be served by such camps, or why the world rulers have not already gone ahead and done it if they are so powerful. What is stopping them? The concentration camp scare story is infantile; a simplistic bogeyman vision of the world. There are bogeymen, but they are urbane, ruthless, Machiavellian puppet masters in smart suits, not childish monsters in monochrome military uniforms.

There’s only one main component missing from the Old World Order’s jigsaw. It’s a piece that they once possessed but which they lost thanks to the efforts of the Illuminati in past centuries. It’s the concept of the hereditary transmission of wealth and power. Imagine America as a monarchy rather than a republic where a king replaces the president and passes on the crown to his offspring in perpetuity. The presidency has already come to resemble this state of affairs (just consider the twelve years of presidential rule by the Old World Order’s Bush family – father and son). Just think of the absurdly high regard in which someone like “Princess” Diana was held by the American people. How long before royalty and politics are once again merged as they were for most of European history? What are celebrities if not a new form of royalty? The deluded masses have, as usual, failed to see through the Old World Order’s machinations. That is entirely as the Old World Order intends.

Don’t you see? – we are not in physical concentration camps for the simple reason that we have walked into our own prison camps of the mind. Ordinary people are so brainwashed that they actually believe the Old World Order is acting in their interests and protecting them from future horrors. The horrors, if you wake up, you will see all around you right now.

Did the people enduring the nightmare of the Second World War spend all of their time fearing what a Third World War might be like, or were they entirely preoccupied with the war they were actually in?

Those who point to a future New World Order of concentration camps are admitting that they do not find the current world situation sufficiently disturbing. They are thinking about a future war rather than fighting the war they are actually in. This is the war, here and now. Those who don’t think so have already succumbed to the Old World Order’s propaganda. How many times must it be emphasised: the Old World Order are not stupid and they are not unsubtle. If you are not horrified by this world, the one you inhabit right now, it is because you have already been successfully brainwashed, and you pose no threat to the masters of the world.

Yes, the Old World Order have introduced a concept of “New World Order” that makes people fear the future. They have spread their false definition far and wide to suit their purposes. Millions of people have fallen for it. We are fighting to reclaim the concept. It’s up to intelligent people to consider what they are reading and draw the relevant conclusions. Certainly, the existence of rival definitions is a recipe for confusion, but if we introduced a brand new term, you can be sure it would soon be deliberately sabotaged by our enemies.

There is a famous TV programme that shows a one-world future government, a one-world military and a one-world economic system that has entirely dispensed with money. It is one of the most popular TV shows of all time. It’s called Star Trek. How many people would rail against the world shown in Star Trek? – a benign meritocracy where greed and want have been eliminated by technology and by intelligent policies carried out by wise, skilled leaders. Who are the losers in Star Trek? – the super rich, the monarchs, the celebrities, the powerful dynastic families, those who bow to money. In other words, the Old World Order. Do you think the Old World Order are responsible for shows like Star Trek and online films such as Zeitgeist? Think again.

“NWO1” is an invention of the Old World Order and, sadly, many well-meaning people have been suckered into believing it. “NWO2”, a meritocracy operating in the interests of all humanity, is what is politically advocated by the Illuminati. NWO1 and NWO2 have no connection at all.

The Illuminati’s “roadmap” is and always has been ferociously difficult to implement. The Illuminati are a small group fighting across the millennia against the vast power of the Old World Order. How can a resistance group, few in number, topple monarchies and dynasties? Exceptionally, when the circumstances have proved conducive, this has proved possible (the French Revolution, for example). But the Old World Order have continually refined their tactics to make challenges to their power less and less likely.

Obviously, we in the Illuminati have no intention of revealing our precise plans, but you can be sure they involve the transformation of the ways of thinking of ordinary people, breaking the brainwashing that keeps them the slaves of their masters. The Zeitgeist movies, and futuristic visions such as Star Trek, show the sort of world humanity could be advancing towards. Why are we not? The roadblock is the same one it has always been – the Old World Order, the empire of greed, hate, war, selfishness, money, division, discord, manipulation, tyranny and oppression.

We do indeed debunk conspiracy theories, for a very specific reason. The Illuminati are a meritocracy. Throughout our history, many of our most prominent members have begun their journey as skeptics, debunkers, cynics. We wish to show such people that their current attitudes and beliefs do not preclude them from working with us. Many conspiracy theories are absurd: that does not mean that they all are, but all the people with whom we would wish to work should not be credulous and willing to swallow anything. We have chosen a tactic that might be described as postmodern. It will certainly put some people off. That is precisely the intention. Intelligent people should always retain healthy doubts until such times as they are furnished with credible evidence. Anyone who thinks the Illuminati, or anyone else for that matter, are Reptilians is in need of psychiatric help. Their delusions should not be nurtured and allow to multiply. Most of the anti-Illuminati and anti-NWO hysterics should be in mental asylums for their own protection, and to safeguard the public from their madness.

As for the followers of the Old World Order, waving their flags and bowing to their masters, they are sheeple, not people. We have no need of human sheep.

The Illuminati’s political aims are one thing. Much more important is the religion of the Illuminati. Many clues have been provided over the centuries – most notably in the legends of the Holy Grail – but they have often been absorbed and twisted by the propaganda of the Old World Order.

Finally, consider this. The German philosopher Leibniz famously said that we live in the best of all possible worlds. His logic, if you believe in an all-powerful, benign creator of this world, was infallible. If it were possible for God to create a better world than this one then he would have done so because otherwise he would be perverse and malevolent – two things that God cannot be by definition. Therefore it must have been impossible for God to create a better world than this, hence this is the best of all possible worlds. Flawless. Therefore, if you believe in such a God, you must believe that this world could be no better than it is. So don’t complain.

1) This argument is precisely the sort used by the Old World Order to justify their domination of the world.

2) The Illuminati reject it entirely.

3) Leibniz was one of the greatest figures in the Illuminati’s history.

4) In order to defeat the enemy you must understand how he thinks.

5) Do you understand?

Supplementals

1) You say, on the one hand, that hereditary transmission of wealth and power has been lost, but on the other hand you say that the U.S presidency has come to resemble this state of affairs. So which is it – has it been lost or re-established?

2) You say that “the Old World Order have introduced a concept of ‘New World Order’ that makes people fear the future. They have spread their false definition far and wide to suit their purposes.” Your answer is very confusing – are you suggesting that NWO-1 is NOT part of the power elite agenda? That would certainly contradict the Zeitgeist movie suggestion. I assume you mean something else so please clarify…For example, if you are suggesting that a one world government/army/financial system could actually be a good thing if handled properly are you also implying that you are OK with the global elite forming their NWO-1 as an intermediate to your NWO-2? Or are you suggesting that you must stop NWO-1 and implement NWO-2 yourselves without such an intermediate?

3) It seems that the “Illuminati” have been defined in several ways depending on who is speaking. Is this because there are several different groups calling themselves (or being called) “Illuminati”, or has one group infiltrated another and inherited/co-opted their name? For example, you seem to be implying that your Illuminati (i.e. Illuminati-2) are good people looking out for others. On the other hand, the Illuminati that many others speak about (i.e. Illuminati-1) refer to the global elite which control the world and look to re-enforce this control via the NWO-1. Also, where do the Illuminati depicted in Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons fit in? In other words, please clarify the multiple definitions of Illuminati and the chronology of the various groups if indeed one has infiltrated another?

4) You seem to be implying that your “good” Illuminati (i.e. illuminati-2) was responsible for the French Revolution. This is interesting because others (e.g. some conspiracy theorists) have attributed the French Revolution to the “bad” Illuminati (i.e. Illuminati-1). This is obviously completely contradictory to what you are saying – so which is it? Please explain…

5) Are you also suggesting that your Illuminati-2 was responsible not only for the French but also the American Revolution? As you know, many conspiracy theorists have attributed this event to the Freemasons. What is the relationship of your Illuminati-2 to the Freemasons? What is the relationship of Illuminati-1 to the Freemasons? Were the Freemasons initially comprised of Illuminati-2 only to be infiltrated by Illuminati-1?

6) What is your view of Albert Pike? Giuseppe Mazzini? Leo Taxil? In particular, was Albert Pike part of Illuminati-1 or Illuminati-2? What is your view of Adam Weishaupt? In particular, was Adam Weishaupt part of Illuminati-1 or Illuminati-2?

7) With respect to the current financial crisis, there seems to be a high level of urgency by many warning of the acceleration towards NWO-1. Does your Illuminati-2, presumably opposed to these efforts, plan to accelerate its counter-efforts as well, or is this recent urgency unwarranted?

Responses.

1) The Old World Order have always supported the principle of the hereditary transmission of wealth, power and privilege – the opposite of the Meritocratic Principle – and throughout history have largely succeeded in operating in this manner. The Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, a pivotal figure in the Old World Order, refers to the British people as “hers”, as though they are her property. Most people, you would imagine, would not tolerate this. And yet the reverse is true. The vast majority of British people still support a monarchy in which they are defined as subjects rather than citizens. That demonstrates the sheer power of the propaganda of the Old World Order. They can make their tyranny be perceived as something noble and desirable. Through the heroic work of the Illuminati, manifesting itself in an assortment of revolutionary movements, the tyranny of the Old World Order has been checked to some degree, sometimes spectacularly in a few instances. The Old World Order’s response consists of a two-pronged strategy: to operate a de facto hereditary principle, and to keep the people so befuddled on junk consumerism and entertainment that they won’t notice what is happening. And they have succeeded admirably. There is no contradiction between losing something and trying to re-establish it. The question, as it has been posed, reflects a certain way of thinking that sets up false binary oppositions. The specific answer, as should be obvious, is yes to both: the Old World Order’s formal hereditary principle has been largely lost, but they have established a de facto hereditary principle (i.e. largely re-established that which was lost), with the Bush Family providing the clearest example.

2) Your confusion arises from your misconceptions. NWO-1 is a fiction. As has been repeatedly stated, the Old World Order is the only power elite with which people should concern themselves. How would the alleged NWO-1 come into being if not through the efforts of the existing world power elite? – therefore NWO-1 can be viewed only as an extension of the existing ideology and policies of the Old World Order. Do people seriously imagine that there is massive conspiracy taking place right now regarding which none of the world’s current power elite have any knowledge? How absurd. The NWO-1 propaganda has brilliantly led people astray, which was of course its function. Do not resist your current masters; instead waste your time and energy worrying about a fictional future state. How many have fallen into this trap?

A typical NWO-1 diatribe goes like this: “A One World Government and one-unit monetary system, under permanent non elected hereditary oligarchists who self-select from among their numbers in the form of a feudal system as it was in the Middle Ages. In this One World entity, population will be limited by restrictions on the number of children per family, diseases, wars, famines, until 1 billion people who are useful to the ruling class, in areas which will be strictly and clearly defined, remain as the total world population. There will be no middle class, only rulers and the servants. All laws will be uniform under a legal system of world courts practicing the same unified code of laws, backed up by a One World Government police force and a One World unified military to enforce laws in all former countries where no national boundaries shall exist. The system will be on the basis of a welfare state; those who are obedient and subservient to the One World Government will be rewarded with the means to live; those who are rebellious will simply be starved to death or be declared outlaws, thus a target for anyone who wishes to kill them. Privately owned firearms or weapons of any kind will be prohibited.” (Dr John Coleman, Conspirators Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300 (1992).)

We agree with a few of the points raised here but most of it is patently ridiculous. How many times must we repeat: a) this is infantile scare-mongering b) the Old World Order aren’t morons and only morons would seriously imagine that the world is in any danger of heading in the direction described. Why do people waste their time with this transparent nonsense? c) Dr Coleman and his kind are rabid, right-wing, fundamentalist Christian, anarcho-capitalist libertarians who love guns and who, in truth, are actually more terrifying than the Old World Order themselves. If you want to understand Dr Coleman and his ilk, read Ayn Rand. It is almost impossible for people to be scarier than the Old World Order and yet Dr Coleman and his sort have managed it. (And bear in mind that Ayn Rand is also greatly admired by the Old World Order.)

Regarding Zeitgeist, ask yourself this: is it possible to use a widely believed misconception to produce a positive outcome? Imagine the difficulty Zeitgeist would have if it were to attempt to argue that there is a global power elite, but that the Illuminati – the most infamous group of all thanks to the Old World Order’s propaganda – isn’t part of that elite and, indeed, is fighting against it. The message would instantly become diluted, confused and confusing – as your questions demonstrate. Much easier, don’t you think, just to run with the existing misconceptions as long as the main point is conveyed. Zeitgeist makes it vividly clear that, for millennia, the people of the world have been conspired against by a power elite. Does this not constitute an Old World Order? How can something that has been going on for millennia be referred to as “new”. We do not pretend for a moment that we can easily undo popular misconceptions. “Old World Order” is, quite simply, less catchy than “New World Order”. It sounds like an old story, whereas what people want is what is happening now, and what is coming tomorrow. They thus ignore what happened yesterday even though that controls today and tomorrow.

Yes, a one-world government/army/financial system could be a good thing if handled properly – though the difficulties are immense. There is nothing intrinsically “bad” about the concept, unless, like Dr Coleman, you despise most of your fellow human beings and want a big gun so that you can kill them. Do people fear the one world government envisaged by Star Trek? Does that resemble a horrific tyranny? What exactly do people fear so much when they automatically denounce a one-world government? If it were a one world government that was fair to everyone, was based on merit and minimal state interference, and dispensed with the power elites, who would rise up against it? (Apart from Dr Coleman and his fellow travellers who no doubt regard Captains Kirk and Picard as one-world fascists.)

NWO-1 could never be a precursor of NWO-2. NWO-2 could only come into being if the relevant political system were shown to work in an existing advanced nation, with Meritocracy replacing Democracy. Democracy is a creature of the Old World Order.

3) Yes, you have highlighted the difficulties. We have no interest in other versions/perversions of the Illuminati. It is impossible for us to control what others say about the Illuminati. Yes, the Illuminati have been infiltrated on several occasions, but never at the highest echelons. Yes, factions have been expelled that have then tried to reinvent the Illuminati in unapproved forms. And the Old World Order has always sought to malign, discredit and persecute the Illuminati. If we were to provide a precise chronology of the Illuminati, we would be aiding and abetting our enemies since they would invariably find valuable clues in any such information and be in a better position to infiltrate us. We are the Illuminati; we are not curious researchers or historians or sensationalist writers seeking to reveal the secrets of a hidden society. We are compelled to communicate in various coded ways, but there are those who understand the codes and who eventually find their way to us.

4) Indeed. Are you for or against the French Revolution? Are you a supporter of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and the rest of the French power elite who oppressed the French people? Do you think the British Queen is a supporter of the French Revolution? The French Revolution was one of the great moments in history when the power of the Old World Order was almost broken. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity – are you opposed to those? You have highlighted a key point. The Old World Order and their fellow travellers will say that the Illuminati’s involvement in the French Revolution illustrates some sinister influence. The only sinister thing going on in France at that time was the obscene power and arrogance of the Old World Order. When someone condemns the French Revolution, he is revealing that he is a supporter of the Old World Order and automatically showing that he is on the side of those who attack the Illuminati. “Good” and “bad” are not objective terms – their use depends on what your attitude is. If you support the Old World Order, as you seem to, you will certainly be no ally of ours and you will refer to us in terms of NWO-1. Was the American War of Independence bad and evil? The Illuminati were of course involved in that too. Who were the losers that time? – the Old World Order of the British ruling class. The tragedy is that the Old World Order have again reasserted themselves and America is full of Old World Order dynasties once more. And they find support from the likes of Dr Coleman who would no doubt despise the French Revolution and regard it as a great evil.

5) Yes, the Illuminati were heavily involved with the American Revolution. The relationship between the Freemasons and the Illuminati is highly complex. It would be fair to say that the Freemasons were once highly influenced by the Illuminati-2, to use your definition, but were infiltrated and came to be dominated by forces hostile to the Illuminati. The Illuminati now have no connection with mainstream Freemasonry and indeed Freemasonry, at his highest levels, has become the plaything of the Old World Order.

6) We would view Albert Pike on a par with Dr Coleman. Giuseppe Mazzini tried to join the Illuminati but was rejected and created a fake Illuminati organisation. In one or two instances, the real Illuminati were not opposed to Mazzini’s activities. Leo Taxil was not a member of the Illuminati but was used by the Illuminati to perform a particular task. Yes, Adam Weishaupt was an influential member of the Illuminati. The Illuminati’s mission in his time, as now, was to resist the Old World Order, monarchical governments, oppressive political systems, deceitful, Satanic religions, and the worship of material objects over the realm of the spirit.

7) All crises are potential opportunities. The Old World Order will be using the financial crisis to bankrupt business opponents and consolidate their power in ever tighter monopolies and cartels. At the end of the crisis, their wealth and power may be massively enhanced, as indeed it was in the aftermath of the Wall Street Crash and the Depression. Equally, people who are in distress are far more receptive to the voice of change in times like these, so you can be sure that the Illuminati, in many guises, are busy promoting a radical change agenda to the ordinary people of the world.

The Illuminati is a revolutionary movement that seeks to eradicate the power elite that controls the world for its own selfish ends. We advocate radical change, not the sort of “change” that gets trumpeted by American presidential candidates working within the power elite structure of Washington DC, and from whom no genuine change could ever emanate. We sometimes form temporary alliances with other groups on the basis of “our enemy’s enemy is our friend”, but we have no formal links to any other organisation.

We consider that the person who sent us these questions is not an ally of the Illuminati and is likely to be on the side that opposes us, either as a fellow traveller of the Old World Order, or as a member of an extreme anarcho-capitalist libertarian organisation that would not be amenable to the message of meritocracy. We have responded to these questions to illustrate that we are prepared to engage with the propaganda of our enemies. We have given full answers and it is up to people to reach their own conclusions regarding what we have said. Are we tyrants? Satan worshippers? Are we the proponents of the terrifying New World Order that you have heard so much about? Or are we on your side? Are we your best hope for a just future? Think for yourselves.

Q. The current world economic crisis seems to be getting worse. Is the OWO orchestrating this (if so, to what end? they are already powerful, why do they need more power)? Is your group involved in this crisis in any way? If no, do you plan on helping us (i.e. humanity) out at some point or are we all screwed?

The OWO caused the current economic crisis, but they did not deliberately engineer it in this instance (though they did in the case of the Wall Street Crash). For the last thirty years, the agenda of the OWO has been to minimise regulation and supervision of their activities, and to prevent the state interfering in anything they do. The “market” has been deified, but the reality is that there is no such thing as free markets. They are all rigged, and run by self-interested cartels. The aim of all cartels is to enrich themselves as much as possible. The OWO control all of the main cartels, and they all act in concert to advance the aims of the OWO.

The current economic crisis was caused by uncontrolled greed. Forget any other explanation. The amount of money a small group of super rich individuals has amassed in the last thirty years is simply staggering. They claimed they were being rewarded for magnificent performance. They said they were merely taking their fair share of the profits. No one objected.

Who stopped their greed machine? No one. Who complained? No one. Which governments intervened? None. These people were lauded. In Britain, many were knighted by the Queen (a senior member of the OWO) and made peers in the “House of Lords”. In America, governments turned to these people for advice and they were treated as great celebrities and masters of the universe. But the whole thing was a sham. The profits were illusory. They were based on “blackbox” financial instruments that no one could see into, and few understood. A handful of people spoke out regarding various abuses and suspicious activities. They were ignored. All of the fake profits of the OWO are now huge debts hanging around the necks of ordinary people that it will take generations to repay. Why have the people accepted their fate so quietly, like cows standing in the queue for the abattoir?

The OWO have themselves been financially impacted by the crisis, but if their average wealth falls from 1 billion dollars to 500 million, to what extent have they really suffered? What part of their lifestyle is altered? But someone earning $50,000 dollars who loses their job has had their lifestyle 100% impacted for the worse, even though they have lost only a fraction of the losses of the OWO in monetary terms. The Old World Order will now see the current crisis as a buying opportunity, with distressed sellers being forced to yield assets to them on the cheap, as happened in the aftermath of the Wall Street Crash. Thus, in a few years the OWO will be richer and more powerful than ever.

Nietzsche said, “Success has always been the greatest liar.” He wasn’t quite right. The illusion of success is an even greater liar. We have witnessed the greatest smoke and mirrors job in human history, the supreme confidence trick. The world bought snake oil in unprecedented quantities from shameless charlatans. No one argues with those who appear successful. No one asks awkward questions. Money flows to money. A few winners take it all. Everyone else stands by and watches, and applauds. And all the while disaster unfolds.

The Illuminati had no involvement in this crisis, but we always regarded it as inevitable. When greed is unchained, a boom results, followed by inevitable bust. The severity of this crisis is a reflection of the greed unleashed on the world. How many of the super rich have been jailed for wrecking the economy? How many have had their assets seized? The truth is that the power of the Old World Order could be shattered forever right now if the people demonstrated sufficient will. But they haven’t and they won’t.

Even now, in the midst of economic mayhem, few people have got real fire in their bellies. The Old World Order have nothing to fear at the present time. We see no signs of the widespread public discontent that needs to exist for us to make any headway against the OWO.

Also, by their skilful use of the democratic process, they have put a new face in the White House, thus removing the rage that would have been evident if Bush were still in power with years left to serve. The election of Obama has been a masterstroke by the OWO. With a single act, they have defused the bomb. But whether that remains true is another matter.

It’s not a matter of “helping humanity”. Humanity must help themselves. The only thing stopping people from bringing about radical change is themselves. Deep down, they are content to be pawns of the Old World Order. That is the supreme tragedy. If they didn’t want to be pawns, they wouldn’t be. Everyone has a choice. Most people choose the easy path, the road of least resistance, the one that requires no effort. If you always look to others, you’re definitely “screwed”.

The Illuminati can attack the Old World Order only when the people are receptive. The Illuminati were able to instigate the French Revolution only because the people were already on the streets, demanding justice. No such circumstances exist now. The people are well and truly sedated.

What is the “philosophy” of the typical family?

1) To give their children the best possible chance in life.

2) To give their children, as far as possible, an advantage over the competition.

3) To keep the family safe, secure and in good health.

4) To give the family the finest things in life.

5) To resist anyone or anything that appears to harm the interests of the family.

6) To become as successful as possible, achieve the highest possible status, and enjoy the fruits of the “good life”.

7) To pretend to be supportive of other families but, in practice, to do everything to support one’s own family, regardless of whether it’s at the expense of other families.

What is the philosophy of the Old World Order? Exactly as above.

Be in no doubt – the OWO succeed because they are carrying out the actions that families everywhere endorse, where their own narrow interests are the only interests they really acknowledge, merely paying lip-service to any other interests. But anyone who follows this philosophy gets the world we have today. It’s an entirely unproductive philosophy unless you are in the OWO. And it’s also unproductive for the OWO because they put their immortal souls in extreme jeopardy because of the selfish lives they lead.

To promote family bonds – blood ties – as the supreme good results in a horrific Darwinian struggle between rival bloodlines because there is a limited supply of the “good life”, and excessive demand for it. The result is the culture of vendettas and honour killings, literal and metaphorical, and doing anything to shaft other families in order to get your own family higher up the ladder. Behind the mask of sympathy for the plight of others lies a ruthless, self serving, savage instinct. The Bush family is the one of the most powerful OWO families. They did everything in their power to ensure that George W Bush, a person of severely limited ability, became the American President. The whole world suffered as a result. This is what happens when bloodlines are favoured over merit. The current financial crisis arises from the same source.

Meritocracy is a radically different worldview. It says that merit is a far more rational, altruistic and benign criterion in human society than blood ties. But ordinary people are resistant to it. “My family right or wrong” is their mantra.

Freemasonry was intended by the Illuminati to allow the creation of enlightened meritocratic seeds all over the world that would, step-by-step, change the prevailing OWO philosophy. Instead, Freemasons soon succumbed to the same corrupt system as the OWO. They placed the interests of their fellow Freemasons – their new “family” – above those of everyone else. Before long, the OWO and Freemasonry had merged and now Freemasonry stands at the heart of the Old World Order.

The Illuminati, if they were ever in doubt, learned the scale of the challenge facing them. If their own creation – Freemasonry – could be turned against them, what chance do ordinary people have? The OWO’s message is extremely seductive to many people, even to many of those who claim to revile the OWO. That is exactly as the OWO and their puppet masters intend. That is the nature of Satan’s world.

Q. If the current financial crisis ends up unifying the world (albeit for evil OWO-related reasons), will you then grab the unified world and make it into a meritocracy somehow?)

A. If we could “grab” the world, we would have done so long ago. We are Gnostics. This is not our world. We are operating in the enemy’s territory and the enemy has all the power. For us to succeed amounts to Satan’s grip on the world being released. Many Gnostics thought this was an impossible task, but the Illuminati realised it could be done, but only by bringing about a remarkable change in humanity, which is what we strive for.

The OWO, and their puppet masters, are doing everything in their power to maintain their hold over humanity. Do you imagine for even a moment that it is easy to defeat them?

The current financial crisis is likely to consolidate the power of the OWO. Fear has not yet turned to irresistible rage amongst the people. Far too many people still buy the OWO’s propaganda. Obama represents the ability of the OWO to keep reinventing themselves and duping the people. By the end of Obama’s time in office none of the power of the OWO will have been surrendered. The reverse will be true.

Here’s our radical message. Meritocracy can only come about in a world that has turned its back on greed. Meritocracy means that harder-working, cleverer, more talented people rise to the top, and receive higher rewards than those below them, but – and here’s the crucial point – those higher rewards are never excessive. Would you vote for a society that placed caps on what the most successful people were allowed to earn, and that blocked their ability to pass on their wealth to others? The Scottish-born American Andrew Carnegie was a remarkable individual who came from humble origins to become the world’s richest man. Despite his background, he was accepted by the OWO and became one of their most powerful figures. In his latter years, he realised the errors of his ways to some extent and chose to give away all of his money in various philanthropic undertakings. “The man who dies rich dies disgraced,” he said…and never have any truer words been spoken. The Illuminati would wish to see a world in which that principle was enshrined in law. Dynastic families – the bedrock of the OWO – are created and sustained by the transmission of great wealth from privileged parents to privileged children. To stop the OWO, all that is needed is a law to prevent the transmission of excessive wealth. That wealth should be used instead to ensure that ordinary people are given the opportunity to make the most of themselves.

Yet, if people are really truthful, they will recognise that they don’t want to curb greed. They dream of being fabulously wealthy like the members of the OWO. Despite all their talk, most people actually aspire to be part of the OWO. And that is why the OWO are winning.

It is also why more and more time is spent on portraying the “NWO” or the Illuminati as aliens from planet Nibiru. People do not wish to recognise the greed within themselves – so it’s much easier to hate people if they’re not actually human…if they’re wicked alien invaders. But the horrific truth is that the OWO – the masters of this world – are simply ordinary human beings writ large. If the ordinary person could be part of the OWO, he would be. What he resents is not getting that chance. What he ought to resent is the whole institution itself. Monarchy isn’t wrong because we can’t all be monarchs, but because it is an intrinsic evil.

The Historical Illuminati – Continued:

The Cathars – Gnostics who posed a serious religious challenge to the Catholic Church in the south of France in the Middle Ages. (The precursors of the Cathars were groups such as the Paulicians, the Athingani, and the Bogomils.) The Cathars were also associated with a strong literary tradition in the shape of the Goliards and Troubadours: this was the beginning of the Illuminati’s attempt to use stories, poetry, art, painting and sculpture to communicate concealed heresies to the wider world, to smuggle them past the Catholic authorities, and to pass on coded messages. The Cathars regarded the established Church as the “synagogue of Satan”, and the altar as the mouth of hell. The Vatican launched a crusade against them and they were virtually wiped out.

The Knights Templar – supposedly orthodox Catholic military monks who were in fact Gnostics seeking to retrieve unique treasures from the ruins of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem, and to erode Catholicism from a privileged insider position. The Vatican eventually realised the danger and suppressed the Templar Order. The last Grand Master was burned at the stake.

The Capuciati – (from caputium, “hood”: their distinctive headgear) – a medieval precursor of the Jacobin Clubs of revolutionary France. At the end of the 12th Century, the Capuciati rose up against the nobility and tried to implement a society based on freedom and equality. They were brutally suppressed. Like the later Jacobins, they championed liberty, equality and fraternity, thus incurring the wrath of the nobles. Allegations of heresy were levelled against them and they were deemed subversive of ecclesiastical and civil authority.

The Alchemists – Gnostic thinkers who attempted to combine science and spiritualism; to find a quasi-scientific path to spiritual enlightenment. (Some alchemists were “metaphorical” scientists i.e. they were using the language of proto-chemistry to describe a process of spiritual refinement and elevation; they weren’t seriously engaged in scientific experiments.) Alchemy was conducted in such secrecy that it managed to avoid formal condemnation and persecution by the Vatican. Alchemists rarely ventured into the open, and only did so if they had secured the protection of a powerful prince. Freemasonry was born from a combination of the alchemists and the remnants of the Knights Templar.

The Heresy of the Free Spirit was a movement that flourished in medieval Europe and was based on the idea that the practitioners had reached a state of perfection that moved them beyond sin (like the Euchites). They repudiated social and moral norms and were often highly promiscuous. However, this promiscuity was more like the “free love” of the 1960s. It was frequently accompanied by drug use, was intended to spread love and community, and, above all, was aimed at being a conduit to a higher plane, to spiritual emancipation and communion with the higher self.

For Gnostics and Christians, the concept of “Holy Spirit” held a very different meaning. To Christians, the Holy Spirit was the third person of the Holy Trinity, and, in Catholic theology, acted through the Church and the holy sacraments. Catholics had no access to the Holy Spirit other than through the sacraments. For Protestants, the individual could interact with the Holy Spirit directly, without the need of the Church or any sacraments. For Gnostics, the Holy Spirit was actually a coded reference to the higher self, the divine spark. By using that term, they could masquerade as Christians and thus avoid accusations of heresy, whilst actually spreading Gnostic teachings. If they succeeded in linking to their higher self, they would be filled with spiritual, mystical understanding – gnosis itself – that would reveal the true nature of existence. Acting through their higher self, part of the divine order, they would no longer be capable of sinning. They would be truly free of the constraints and travails of the world. For this reason, they were called Eleutherians – from the Greek word for “free”. (Some groups were freer than others; some became completely anarchic and self-indulgent while others retained a strong and clear spiritual purpose. It was not freedom itself that was the crucial issue but how that freedom was exercised; irresponsibly or with clear focus.

Joachim of Fiori (a Grand Master of the Illuminati) and Amaury of Bene (a senior Illuminist) – were responsible for the revolutionary idea that the world is divided into three ages – that of God the Father (Jehovah/Judaism), God the Son (Jesus Christ/Christianity), and God the Holy Spirit (which for Joachim and Amaury meant Abraxas/Gnosticism).

The Dulcinites – under the leadership of Fra Dolcino, were a Joachimite movement with close connections to Catharism. They advocated egalitarianism and soon attracted the hostility of the Church and nobility. They were exterminated in 1307, the same year that the Templars were arrested and suppressed.

The Brethren of the Free Spirit – the Homines Intelligentiae, the Adamites, the Amalricans, the Beghards/Beguines, the Picards, the Turlupins, the Ranters and the Perfectionists were all groups of a similar type, inspired by the antinomian ideas of Joachim of Fiori and Amaury of Bene, and dedicated to absolute freedom. Because they did not perceive themselves as bound by the conventions of society, they often acted, in secret and sometimes openly, in ways that scandalised public opinion. Inevitably, they attracted the hostility of the Church and most of them were savagely persecuted.

Hieronymus Bosch was a member of the Adamite sect and his paintings are full of coded references to the teachings of the Adamites. William Blake’s paintings and writings are also full of Gnostic symbolism, and coded messages. (An important painting of Blake’s is highlighted in The Millionaires’ Death Club by Mike Hockney.)

The Hesychasts – an offshoot of the Illuminati that appeared in Macedonia in the Byzantine Empire in the 14th Century. Their activities were centred on the monastic community at Mount Athos (“Holy Mountain”). The Hesychasts were mystics who endeavoured to see a vision of the light of the True God. They regarded this contemplation as the highest goal of humanity, taking them as close as possible to the divine order, bringing them into the company of the divine spark, their higher self. In this way they could become united with God. This experience could be described as unio mystica (mystical union), the ecstatic feeling of being one with God.

In order to disguise their practices as falling within orthodox Christianity, the Hesychasts said that the light they were seeking was that of Jesus Christ’s Transfiguration on Mount Tabor where “man” and “God” visibly became one and Christ shone with the mystical light of God. After a long debate, Hesychasm was accepted as non heretical by the Eastern Orthodox Church, but was rejected, peacefully, by the Roman Catholic Church. A similar idea, originating in Spain with the Alumbrados, met with a very different fate.

The Alumbrados (also known as Aluminados) – the Spanish chapter of the Illuminati in the 15th and 16th centuries. Ignatius of Loyola was a senior member of the Alumbrados, assigned the task of infiltrating the Catholic Church with a new group modelled on a nonmilitary version of the Knights Templar. The group he founded was the Jesuit Order.

The Alumbrados recruited a number of “Conversos” – Jews who had been forced by the Spanish authorities to convert to Christianity if they wanted to remain in the country or even simply to stay alive. Many of these were well versed in the teachings of Kabbalah. “Moriscos” (forced Moorish converts) were also recruited. The Illuminati have always been happy to take new members from different traditions, provided those people are not wedded to the mainstream “religions”. The Conversos and Moriscos were usually those who were already uncomfortable with their original religions, though they had no fondness for Christianity, simply converting for convenience rather than through any conviction.

Like the Hesychasts, the Alumbrados sought to achieve a state of perfection that would allow them to experience a vision of God; a direct transcendental encounter with the divine. At that point, when they had received the “light”, they would be able to communicate directly with their higher self.

The Alumbrados were persecuted by the Spanish Inquisition, and departed from Spain. Many went to neighbouring France where they were known as the Illuminés (and sometimes as Guerinists after their local leader Pierre Guerin). The authorities suppressed them in 1635. A new grouping appeared in the 18th century, came under renewed persecution, and fled to England where they became known as “French Prophets”. Their writings influenced Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Another chapter of French Illuminati was established by Martines de Pasqually who had Spanish Conversos ancestry and great knowledge of Kabbalistic teachings. This group later became popularly known as Martinists after their new leader, Louis Claude de Saint-Martin, the so-called “unknown philosopher.” Saint-Martin advocated that human beings must find their “creative principle.” He wrote, “The only initiation that I preach and seek with all my soul is that which takes us into the heart of God and brings the heart of God into us for that indissoluble marriage which makes us friend, brother and spouse of our Divine Restorer. There is no other means to this holy initiation but to dive deeper and deeper into the depths of our being and not to let go until we can draw out the living and life-giving root.”

Another group linked to the Illuminati in this period was the Franco-Italian Carbonari (meaning charcoal burners). Some people claim the Carbonari was founded in the 19th Century in Italy, but in fact its origins lay in the 16th century in France. They were radicals dedicated to overthrowing despotic governments.

The Jesuit order (The Society of Jesus) – was established by the Illuminati as another attempt (following the Knights Templar) to infiltrate Catholicism and seize power from within. Like the Templars, they were known as “Soldiers of Christ”, though they were not a military order. The Rosicrucians – a secret order that provided the first significant public glimpse of Freemasonry. They published several enigmatic and inspirational manifestos in heavily coded language. They did not emerge into the open and thereby avoided persecution and destruction.

As for the Rosicross philosophers,
Whom you will have to be sorcerers,
What they pretend to is no more
Than Trismegistus did before,
Pythagoras, old Zoroaster,
And Apollonius their master.
(Samuel Butler)

(The Rosicrucian Order gradually became detached from the Illuminati and fell under the influence of others. It continues to this day – see, for example,http://www.amorc.org.uk/ Note that although the Rosicrucians are no longer connected with the Illuminati, many of the Illuminati’s original teachings are still evident in modern Rosicrucian thinking. Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek was a member of AMORC. Star Trek represents a very powerful image of what our society would look like if we could rid ourselves of the Old World Order. Star Trek promotes a meritocratic, noble, honest, truthful, unselfish, ambitious, intelligent, adventurous vision of humanity, free of greed and religious dogmatism. Who is preventing us from realising this futuristic paradise? – the Old World Order.)

Freemasonry – a product of enlightenment thinking, designed to overthrow the prevailing tyrannies of monarchy and Christianity. Gradually it was infiltrated by the establishment and became totally corrupt. It is now a mainstay of the Old World Order. Freemasonry is the Illuminati’s most profound regret and greatest disaster.

Thomas Jefferson – 3rd President of the USA, principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and passionate republican, was a Freemason and America’s leading member of the Illuminati. He famously said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” That sentiment was highly characteristic of Illuminati thinking of that time.

America was always intended to be the great beacon of hope for the world, the Illuminati’s model for how to overthrow nobles, kings, emperors and religious dogmatism; how to govern justly in the interests of all. Everything started well. Jefferson was involved with all aspects of the development of the nation, but after he left office, his power, and that of the Illuminati, waned and the Old World Order eagerly set about securing their greatest triumph. Slowly but surely they assumed complete control of America. They didn’t create nobles, princes and kings, but instead powerful, dynastic families that had as much influence as the aristocrats of Europe, and even greater riches. They turned democracy into a farce: it became merely a vehicle to ensure their continued power. That’s why the Bush’s, father and son – two OWO fools of the highest order – both reached the White House.

The fact that the Illuminati once had the world’s current hyperpower within its grasp reveals how powerful they once were, but equally reveals the brilliance of the Old World Order in reasserting its power and vanquishing its enemies. The Old World Order know that by relentlessly appealing to the basest instincts of ordinary people they will always triumph. The challenge for the Illuminati – an almost impossible one as it has transpired – is to win by cultivating humanity’s nobler aspects and higher aspirations.

The Jacobin Clubs – the most radical political groups of revolutionary France, led by the Illuminati. They initially enjoyed great success, but imploded under the strain of being forced to wage war against all of the great powers of Europe that wished to stamp out the Revolution. The Jacobin leaders were guillotined.

In Tsarist Russia in the twentieth century, the Illuminati chose to help the Bolsheviks to overthrow the corrupt Tsarist regime. Although the Illuminati opposed communism, they saw it as the lesser of the two evils when compared with rule by tyrants and autocrats. Unfortunately, communism itself soon became a tyranny under Stalin.

******

The Illuminati had no connection with the medieval German Holy Vehm vigilante secret society, contrary to what some conspiracy theorists claim. Anyone with even a superficial grasp of the Holy Vehm would know they would eagerly have hunted and executed members of the Illuminati.

Others have claimed that there was a link between the Illuminati and the Order of Assassins founded by Hasan bin Sabbah. The Assassins and the Illuminati had no formal connections, but they did respect each other. The Knights Templar encountered the Assassins in the 12th century and were intrigued by them, and wondered if assassination could be deployed as a legitimate weapon against the tyranny of the Old World Order. It’s also true that the Templars admired the enigmatic, coded motto of the Assassins: “Nothing is true – everything is permitted.” Only people of the right calibre can understand such a slogan. Stupid people will take it at face value and regard it as some sort of anarchic and nihilistic statement. It is anything but.

The Roshinaya/Rawshaniyya, a secret society in Afghanistan in the 16th century, was also said to be associated with the Illuminati. Again, this is false. The Roshinaya was related to the Assassins not to the Illuminati. The Roshinaya also had its roots in the Nuqtawiyya of Persia, a sect that appeared in the fifteenth century and taught mysticism and reincarnation. (Again, the Illuminati had respect for these groups, but no ties, although it would be fair to say that these sects were also Gnostic in their outlook.) All three sects were attacked, persecuted and largely destroyed.

Many Gnostic sects regarded themselves as “Christian” although their view of Christ was very different from that of orthodox Christianity, but the Illuminati have never been in any sense Christian.

Although Christianity is regarded as a revealed religion, it is certainly possible to treat it as a Gnostic mystery religion. Many of the cryptic remarks in the gospels are highly characteristic of the vocabulary and symbolism of Gnosticism. In such a version of Christianity, Christ becomes an exemplar of the Gnostic path to salvation. Born fully human, Jesus follows the precise path laid down by Gnostic teachings, and attains full union with his divine spark. At that point he has two fully expressed natures – human and divine – in one human person. He is both the “Son of God” (as all divine sparks can be described), and God himself. He is perfect and cannot commit sin. The Resurrection is actually Christ’s final release from the cycle of reincarnation because he has attained gnosis. Whereas Christian orthodoxy teaches that Jesus Christ was a unique incarnation of God on earth, Gnostic Christianity says that he was simply an example of what anyone is capable of achieving. Everyone can be a Christ. The miraculous “incarnation” can be repeated in each and every person. The world can be full of living gods. The Christian establishment regards such a notion as the uttermost heresy but in fact it is not
contradicted by anything that is actually said in the gospels by Jesus Christ himself.

******

The Illuminati in the present day have much less influence than of old because of several trends: the rise of consumerism, the general turning away from spirituality and towards materialism by much of humanity, the relentless advance of “junk” entertainment, the widespread delusion that people have genuine freedom and choice, the success of “democracy” in persuading ordinary people that they have a degree of political power and can change their leaders, the ease and comfort provided by technology, the omnipresence of sport, music, movies and TV that keep people endlessly distracted, the media brainwashing machine, the effectiveness of the cynical advertising machine, and the complete dominance of celebrity culture and the super-rich.

It is hard in the age of secularism and science for people to accept that a malignant, spiritual force is at work in the world. Many people think the world is a vile place but they attribute that to human failings and perceive no malevolent conspiracy beyond the purely human. Many of the great movements of the past simply could not exist in the present day. The mentality no longer exists. The Old World Order have trivialised humanity and stripped away its ability to resist. The OWO’s power has never been greater than at the present time. It will take a gargantuan effort to overthrow them.

The Illuminati plan to introduce a new organisation, not unlike some of those mentioned above, that anyone can join, and that will become the heart of the new resistance to the Old World Order. Further details will be forthcoming later. Everyone will have the chance to participate. (This group is called The Movement.)

No one should misunderstand the message of the Illuminati. The Illuminati is nothing like the Catholic Church, Judaism or Islam. It does not flaunt a “holy” text like the Bible, the Torah or the Koran in your face and demand that you slavishly worship every word. The Illuminati do not claim that they can “save” you. It is never for others to save you. Jesus Christ certainly can’t save you, no matter what the Protestant Evangelicals tell you. You can only save yourself. The Illuminati act as guides, nothing else. They can’t walk in your shoes. No one can achieve gnosis on your behalf.

We receive many messages from people, but many of them fail to get the central point. Don’t look to others for the answers to your life – only slaves do that – look to yourself. All of the answers are contained within you. You simply have to find the key to unlock them. “Simply”? In truth, it’s the most difficult task of all, but how could it be any other? How could the process of becoming God be anything other than the greatest challenge conceivable? Do you have the strength, imagination, guts and knowledge for the ultimate quest?

You don’t need the Illuminati. You already have everything you need – yourself.

Those who have what it takes may well find their way to the Illuminati, but never forget that you don’t need anyone else. The most liberating idea of all is that everyone already contains all of the answers, if they could but see the light. Don’t you think that’s exactly as it should be? You don’t need to look outwards, to the world around you, to find the meaning of life: you will find all you need when you turn your gaze inwards. The answer was always contained in the ancient Hermetic wisdom: “As above, so below.” The macrocosm and the microcosm are one and the same for those with the vision to see.

THIS IS ONE OF A SERIES OF BOOKS outlining the religion, politics and philosophy of the ancient and controversial secret society known as the Illuminati, of which the Greek polymath Pythagoras was the first official Grand Master. The society exists to this day and the author is a member, working under the pseudonym of “Adam Weishaupt” – the name of the Illuminati’s most notorious Grand Master.

The Illuminati’s religion is the most highly developed expression of Gnosticism and is called Illumination (alternatively, Illuminism). Dedicated to the pursuit of enlightenment, it has many parallels with the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. It rejects the Abrahamic religions of faith: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, considering these the work of the “Demiurge”; an inferior, cruel and wicked deity who deludes himself that he is the True God, and who has inflicted endless horrors on humanity.

If you wish to judge for yourself how deranged the Demiurge is, you need only read the Old Testament, the story of the Demiurge’s involvement with his “Chosen People”, the Hebrews. You may wonder why the “God of All” entered into an exclusive and partisan Covenant with a tribe in the Middle East several thousand years ago, why he promised them a land (Canaan) that belonged to others, and why he then actively participated with them in a genocidal war against the Canaanites. Even more bizarrely, according to Christian theology, he then dispatched all of those Hebrews, whom he had supported so fanatically, to Limbo – the edge of Hell – when they died. They couldn’t go to Heaven because they were indelibly marked by the “Original Sin” of Adam and Eve. Only the atonement provided by the agonising death of God’s “son”, Jesus Christ, could wipe the slate clean and allow the Hebrews to be released from Limbo. But there was a catch. Only those who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour were eligible for Paradise.

Of course, the Chosen People of “God” have almost entirely rejected Jesus Christ. Therefore, from the Christian perspective, nearly all of the Chosen People are now in hell proper. Don’t you find God’s behaviour distinctly odd? Indeed, unbelievable? Don’t alarm bells start ringing? Doesn’t the behaviour of this God sound rather more like what would be expected of Satan?

Remember that this same “God” ordered Abraham to perform human sacrifice on his own son, Isaac. Abraham, rather than rejecting this monstrous command, rather than denouncing the creature that gave it as evil incarnate, agreed to butcher his own flesh and blood to demonstrate how slavishly and mindlessly obedient he was – the prototype of all psychopathic, fanatical “believers”.

Does God’s command to Abraham sound like something that would ever pass the lips of the True God? We pity you if you think it does because you are surely a creature of the Demiurge and one of the legions of the damned. If, however, you doubt the credentials of the Abrahamic God, you may be receptive to the message of the Illuminati and our future-oriented, rational, scientific, mathematical and dialectical religion of light – Illumination.

Quotations:

“The Ancien Régime is a Satanic Order. The Illuminati’s noble and historic mission is to release man’s higher self by destroying the archons – the princes of the world – who prosecute Satan’s will and hold mankind in their thrall. Their corruption has reached its zenith in France. That diabolical tyranny is ripe for destruction. All that is required is a spark. We are the spark.” –Adam Weishaupt, Grand Master of the Illuminati, 1789

“Weishaupt seems to be an enthusiastic Philanthropist. He is among those (as you know the excellent Price and Priestley also are) who believe in the indefinite perfectibility of man. He thinks he may in time be rendered so perfect that he will be able to govern himself in every circumstance so as to injure none, to do all the good he can, to leave government no occasion to exercise their powers over him, & of course to render political government useless. This you know is Godwin’s doctrine, and this is what Robinson, Barruel & Morse had called a conspiracy against all government.” –Thomas Jefferson, 1800

The Oldest Secret Society in the World:

The Illuminati is an ancient secret society that seeks to bring about a New World Order based on the principle that everyone has it within them to literally become God. The series of books of which this is one, presents the Illuminati’s radical vision for a new humanity and provides a full account of the inner divinity of the human race.

The ten most influential Grand Masters of the Illuminati are: King Solomon the Apostate, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Empedocles, Simon Magus, Hypatia, Leibniz, Weishaupt, Goethe and Hegel. If these figures are not of interest to you then it would be pointless for you to venture any further into the world of the Illuminati.

The series of books presented by the Illuminati is not for the faint-hearted. It contains an enormous amount of philosophical, psychological, political, historical, scientific and religious content. If you are interested in embarking on the spiritual journey of your life then you have opened the door to a mansion of wonders. If, however, you have come in search of aliens, pan-dimensional lizards and evil Illuminists relentlessly plotting against the ordinary people of the world then you have arrived at the wrong destination. Henry Makow, David Icke, and Alex Jones and their ilk will be more to your taste.

Our aim, as it has always been, is to overthrow the network of elite, dynastic families of wealth and privilege that we refer to as the “Old World Order” that have run this world since the dawn of civilization, to their maximum advantage and to the extreme detriment of the people.

We are a radical and indeed revolutionary organization that seeks nothing less than to assist the ordinary men and women of the human race to ascend to the next stage of humanity’s divine evolution. We describe this higher level as the “Community of Gods” or the “Society of the Divine.”

It’s time to end the reign of the false prophets of religion, the fake gods of capitalism and democracy, and the tawdry idols that we call “celebrities”. We’re sick of the bankers and traders, the lawyers and accountants, the politicians and their “special advisers” the lobbyists and spin doctors, the agents and gatekeepers, the CEOs and chairmen, the advertisers, brand managers and marketing men. We’re sick of all the same faces of the “top” people and their relentless tricks and tactics to keep enriching themselves at the people’s expense. We’re sick of George W. Bush’s “Freedumb and Dumbocracy” that con people into voting for the rich and the apologists for the rich, and we’re sick of the Abrahamic religions that keep billions of people on their knees as slaves to a psychotic tyrant masquerading as God.

You know that humanity is capable of so much more. Isn’t it time to bring about real change? Isn’t it time to seize our divine inheritance?

We are the Illuminati. We are the messengers of the True God – Abraxas. Our sacred mission is to bring humanity into full union with the True God so that there is no longer any distinction between the human race and the divine essence. We are able to show how this can be achieved using Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity, and quantum mechanics. It’s time for humanity to open its eyes and see the divine light for the first time. Our religion is called Illumination. We have emerged from the shadows to cast the light of Abraxas on this benighted world; to bring Illumination – enlightenment – to everyone.

Those who regard Adam Weishaupt, the most controversial Grand Master of the Illuminati, as a monster attempting to create a sinister New World Order should prepare to have their prejudices challenged.

Weishaupt did indeed wish to overthrow conventional religion and all oppressive governments. He did indeed wish to create a New World Order, one that would free humanity from the grip of the Old World Order that has Satanically ruled the earth from the dawn of time and which continues to rule to this day. Weishaupt’s mission is not over. The New World Order is not built. The world is not Illuminated. All of you who wish to bring to an end the corrupt rule of rich elites such as those that run Wall Street, and evil dynasties such as the Royal Family of the United Kingdom or the Rothschild bankers, what are you prepared to do to assist our great endeavour to change this benighted world? It’s time to dispel the darkness. It’s time for Illumination. It’s time to go on a new quest for the Holy Grail.

“The stories of the Grail had been of the greatest importance to me ever since I read them, at the age of fifteen, for the first time. I had an inkling that a great secret lay hidden behind those stories.” –Jung

This series constitutes an unprecedented “experiment”, with one of its main aims being to defuse the absurd misinformation and disinformation that appears in enormous amounts on the internet regarding the Illuminati, making it the most controversial organization on earth. The Illuminati is the oldest secret society in the world, and currently comprises approximately 6,000 souls from all across the globe. The Order of the Illuminati offers ten “degrees”, of which seven are ordinary degrees and the remaining three “mystery” degrees. The ruling council comprises the twelve most senior members of the Illuminati (those who have attained the tenth degree and mastered all of the mysteries). The Grand Master is elected by the ruling council and remains in post until death.

This series of books is intended to provide interested parties with the equivalent of the information and training supplied to a sixth degree Illuminatus. This immense undertaking is one of a number of initiatives run by “communication cells” of the Illuminati. The series is administered by three adepts who have attained the seventh degree of the Order of the Illuminati.

For those who wish to get involved with building a new society based on the ingenuity, talents and power of the people, we recommend that you join “The Movement”. Where is it? It’s wherever you are. This is the dawn of hyperreality.

Join the resistance to the Power Elite. Build a New World Order in the name of the people. Make your contribution to a new society.

The present book serves as an introduction to the Illuminati, revealing an unprecedented amount of hitherto secret information, and disclosing the ancient origins of the Order.

The Illuminators:

The oldest writings of the Illuminati declare that the Order was founded by the Illuminators – the Phosters – sent by Abraxas, the True God, to counteract the malignant influence of the archons of the Demiurge, and to provide humanity with a means of escape from the Demiurge’s dark clutches.

The original members of the Illuminati to whom the Phosters imparted knowledge of the true nature of the divine order were nomadic holy men, mystics and philosophers. One of them encountered King Solomon and succeeded in enlightening the most famously wise man of the Old Testament.

Solomon made the first attempt to create a formal organization based on the teachings of the Illuminati. The prototype was called the Order of Solomon, but it disintegrated after the king’s death. Many centuries later, from its ashes, emerged the Knights Templar and then Freemasonry (nothing like the corrupt Freemasonry of the contemporary world).

Solomon chose to emphasize the mystical and magical elements of what he had learned from the Illuminati, and became a master in the use and command of esoteric forces. To his enemies – and there were many – he was regarded as a sorcerer. He was locked in conflict with the priests of Yahweh, the agents of the Demiurge’s archons, who yearned for his downfall. Solomon survived many plots against him, always managing to outmanoeuvre his foes. Rehoboam, his son, lacked his extraordinary skill and knowledge, and failed to pacify Israel’s warring factions. The kingdom split in two during his reign.

It was not until the sixth century BCE that the Illuminati finally became an organized Order, with Pythagoras, the famous Greek philosopher, mystic and mathematician serving as the first official Grand Master. While continuing to take a great interest in the magical and esoteric, he also set about moulding the teachings of the Illuminati into an adamantine edifice and synthesis of philosophy, mathematics, science and religion – an entirely integrated view of the world providing the knowledge necessary to overcome the false prophets of the Demiurge who preached “faith” over knowledge.

Here we will describe the intellectual development of some of the key ideas of Illuminism. Since the first Grand Master of the Illuminati was Pythagoras, it is to Ancient Greece that we turn. Anyone who studies the philosophy of the ancient Greeks will be struck by its brilliance, contemporary relevance and how all the seeds of a true understanding of life were furnished in just three centuries: the sixth to the fourth centuries BCE.

The Illuminati are often referred to as the “Bavarian” Illuminati thanks to the most controversial of the Illuminati’s Grand Masters – Adam Weishaupt. Since Weishaupt was an academic and great thinker, like Hegel and Leibniz, who wanted to rid the world of sadistic religions and tyrannical governments, it’s utterly perverse that he is now cast as a profoundly sinister man. Does anyone regard as Hegel or Leibniz as deeply sinister?

What is certainly true is that the Illuminati was headquartered in Germany for a very long time. It was when Germany was unified under Bismarck in 1871 that the Illuminati chose to move its base of operations since it was apparent that Germany was becoming militaristic and moving away from its cultural and intellectual greatness. The new headquarters was Scotland, which had always played a crucial role in the affairs and history of the Illuminati. It was there, for example, that the original form of Freemasonry was born from the remnants of the Knights Templar. The Scottish connection is alluded to in The Armageddon Conspiracy by Mike Hockney.

In the latter decades of the 19th century, the great German philosopher Nietzsche (not an Illuminatus) was so alarmed by the type of Germany that he found himself in that he started laying claim to Polish ancestry. His scathing opinions of the new Germany were shared by the Illuminati. Much of what he said about Germany could now be said of most of the Western world and perhaps, particularly, America. Germany, thankfully, has returned to being a great nation and it would be no surprise if the idealistic up-and-coming generation of Germany were at the forefront of changing the world for the better, in keeping with the traditions of the Illuminati.

America, too, can return to being the great nation that once inspired the world and seemed like a beacon of freedom. One way or another, it will be America that is the focus of major world events in the next few years. America is a deeply polarized society and one day something is going to give. Then it will be up to the good Americans to stand up and be counted, and to set an example that will inspire the world.

The Phoenician Connection:

What is the connection between King Solomon, the unofficial first Grand Master of the Illuminati, and Pythagoras, the first official Grand Master and the acknowledged founder of the secret society that exists to this day? (Of course, the name “Illuminati”, from the Latin word illuminatus meaning “enlightened one”, wasn’t one used by either Solomon or Pythagoras, who lived long before the Romans became a significant power in the world and before their language of Latin had spread far and wide.) At first sight, it would seem implausible that a Hebrew king should be linked to a Greek philosopher.

King Solomon famously invoked the help of the Phoenician king Hiram of Tyre to build his holy temple in Jerusalem. King Hiram provided him with cedar logs, fine stone, precious metals, stonemasons, metalworkers and carpenters to build a wonder of the ancient world. All of the most skilled Phoenician artisans were employed in the sacred task. Phoenician master craftsmen were responsible for the entire construction project, which took seven years to complete.

Solomon also had a beautiful palace built for him and called it “The Hall of the Forest of Lebanon” because it was fashioned from the famous cedar wood of Lebanon (the modern flag of Lebanon shows a Cedar tree). In this palace was The Throne Room, also called The Hall of Judgement, where Solomon pronounced his decisions in the cases that came before him, earning himself an eternal reputation for surpassing wisdom.

Of course, it was Solomon’s connection with King Hiram, and with Phoenicia’s greatest architect and master builder, also called Hiram (Abiff), that is central to the foundation myth and mystery of Freemasonry, which is fundamentally all about creating the perfect human temple from the raw material of one’s own self. We are all Hirams, seeking to fashion the ideal design, and to resist those who seek to sabotage us and to render our holy temples mere shacks, hovels and centres of idolatry.

Solomon created the first recognizable Order of the Illuminati (called the Order of Solomon and dedicated to the destruction of Yahweh), but it didn’t long survive his death. In the reign of Rehoboam, Solomon’s son, Israel descended into vicious faction fighting and civil war, resulting in the kingdom splitting in two, and the survivors of the Order of Solomon left Israel and settled in Phoenicia, in and around Tyre. This coastal city was in a perfect location, at the hub of the ancient world’s maritime “information superhighway”.

They kept the traditions of the Illuminati alive, albeit in no organized form since they had no agreed leader. The Order returned to what it was before Solomon: a loose confederation of wandering holy men, mystics and esotericists, passing in the night to exchange new secrets discovered in exotic lands.

Pythagoras’ father was a Phoenician merchant called Mnesarchus, who often trade with Samos, a Greek island colony off the west coast of modern-day Turkey, near the great Greek city-state of Miletus (in modern mainland Turkey) where philosophy was born. During a severe famine, Mnesarchus brought corn to the starving people of Samos and, as a mark of gratitude, was granted citizenship and a fine house.

Mnesarchus wasn’t an Illuminatus, but he was aware of the secretive group of wise men who were thought to have magical powers and secret knowledge derived from the famous Solomon. He was fascinated by them, and often gave them passage on his ship, but retained a certain wariness towards them, born of a vague fear.

While on business in the magnificent Greek city of Delphi in Greece, home of the famous oracle of Apollo, Mnesarchus learned that his wife was pregnant. Keen to know what fate had in store for his child, Mnesarchus consulted the Pythia, the priestess of Apollo who transmitted the oracles from the gods to men. (One of Apollo’s names was Pythios, hence his priestess was called Pythia.)

The priestess told Mnesarchus that his child would be a son, surpassingly handsome and wise beyond all other men, destined to shower great gifts on humanity.

The child was born on Samos (not at Sidon in Phoenicia, as some have claimed). Pythagoras was named after Apollo (Pythios), the Greek god of light. (Another of Apollo’s names was Phoebus – the “shining one”, and the sun was his symbol, making him a sun god.) Apollo was also the god of prophecy, of poetry and music, of healing, of intelligence and understanding, of reason, science and mathematics: an ideal divine patron for the Illuminati. The second part of Pythagoras’s name was derived from the ancient Greek word “agora” – the “marketplace” – in honour of his father who made his living from trading and selling in the market.

Legends surrounded the birth of Pythagoras. It was said that he was not a human child, but an avatar of a god – a deity taking human form to walk amongst men to help them, advise them and be their benefactor. Pythagoras was, according to most people who met him, an individual in whom the influence of divine inspiration was unmistakable and overwhelming. He was often called the Son of God, just like Jesus Christ centuries later. It was even suggested that Apollo was his real father, and that he was immaculately conceived, in the manner later attributed to Jesus Christ. In fact a great deal of the stories concerning Jesus Christ seem like direct copies of those told of Pythagoras. It was said that Pythagoras met his death by crucifixion by his enemies, in an open field. His enemies, well aware of his reputation, watched his body for three days and nights to see if any trace of his soul would become visible as it departed his body, or if the gods would come to retrieve him, or if a creature would come into which he would transfer his soul. Last but not least, there was speculation that he might come back from the dead, such was his reputation for miracles.

There was one other notion of what might be his fate; either the fabled Phoenix, to which Pythagoras often expressed his devotion, would swoop down and he would pass his soul into it, or he himself would transform into the Phoenix and fly away. In fact, at the end of the three days, Pythagoras’s body was said to have been struck by a single lightning bolt, utterly consuming his body, leaving not a trace.

Soon after Pythagoras’s birth, the Illuminati showed profound interest in Mnesarchus’s dazzlingly talented and precocious son, a child prodigy if ever there was one. And Magi from the East appeared in Samos, seeking the “child of wonders”. Sounds familiar? This happened centuries before Jesus Christ appeared on the scene.

From his tenderest years, Pythagoras sought and demanded knowledge. Above all, he loved to hear the strange stories told by his father of the mysterious men with whom he came into contact on his travels, particularly in the Phoenician coastal cities of Tyre, Sidon and Byblos. Young Pythagoras was transfixed, and vowed to find out every secret that existed in the world when he grew up. His father took him on many long journeys as part of his trading missions, and Pythagoras came into direct contact with the great sages of the world: in Egypt (land of the holy priests of Heliopolis, Memphis and Thebes), in Babylonia (land of Chaldean astronomy), in Persia (land of the Magi), and even as far as India and China.

The world’s wise men found Pythagoras’s abilities every bit as remarkable and unprecedented as was prophesied. He was such an extraordinary person that he easily found his way into the company of the most secretive priests, magicians, and sages all across the civilized world. He swiftly learned their esoteric knowledge and was initiated into their innermost mysteries. All of them recognized him as a demigod, and gave him all the assistance they could contrive. They directed him to others who could help his development, gave him glowing recommendations and references, and thus the whole world of esoteric knowledge simply opened up for him like a book. Pythagoras is often regarded as the first human to possess the same knowledge as Hermes Trismegistus, with whom he has often even been identified. He is therefore the world’s first “great initiate.”

Pythagoras took everything he had learned and melded it together into a grand synthesis of all the mystical and esoteric knowledge then known in the world. He was the first person to refer to himself as a philosopher – a lover of wisdom – and he was most assuredly that. The subject he was interested in above all others was that of the Phosters – a mysterious group of individuals who were said to have been sent from the heavens to guide humanity towards the divine light. They were reputed to appear to only the most worthy human beings, and to have secret knowledge without limit, founded primarily on mathematics. They were able to see “things” as numbers, it was said, and to understand the precise equations that linked everything. In modern terminology, we would say that they had a Grand Unified Theory of everything, such as contemporary physicists pursue.

The distinguished philosopher Bertrand Russell wrote of Pythagoras, “He was intellectually one of the most important men that ever lived…Mathematics, in the sense of demonstrative deductive argument, begins with him, and in him is intimately connected with a peculiar form of mysticism…Pythagoras is one of the most interesting and puzzling men in history…His religion was embodied in a religious order, which, here and there, acquired control of the State and established a rule of the saints. In the society that he founded, men and women were admitted on equal terms; property was held in common, and there was a common way of life…

“Personal religion is derived from ecstasy, theology from mathematics; and both are to be found in Pythagoras. Mathematics is, I believe, the chief source of the belief in eternal and exact truth, as well as in a super-sensible intelligible world. Geometry deals with exact circles, but no sensible object is exactly circular; however carefully we may use our compasses, there will be some imperfections and irregularities. This suggests the view that all exact reasoning applies to ideal as opposed to sensible objects; it is natural to go further, and to argue that thought is nobler than sense, and the objects of thought more real than those of sense perception. Mystical doctrines as to the relation of time to eternity are also reinforced by pure mathematics, for mathematical objects, such as numbers, if real at all, are eternal and not in time. Such eternal objects can be conceived as God’s thoughts…

“Rationalistic as opposed to apocalyptic religion has been, ever since Pythagoras, and notably ever since Plato, very completely dominated by mathematics and mathematical method…The combination of mathematics and theology, which began with Pythagoras, characterized religious philosophy in Greece, in the Middle Ages, and in modern times down to Kant. Orphism before Pythagoras was analogous to Asiatic mystery religions. But in Plato, St Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz there is an intimate blending of religion and reasoning, of moral aspiration with logical admiration of what is timeless, which comes from Pythagoras, and distinguishes the intellectualised theology of Europe from the more straightforward mysticism of Asia.

“I do not know of any other man who has been as influential as Pythagoras was in the sphere of thought. I say this because what appears to be Platonism is, when analysed, found to be in essence Pythagoreanism. The whole conception of an eternal world, revealed to the intellect but not to the senses, is derived from him. But for him, Christians would not have thought of Christ as the Word; but for him, theologians would not have sought logical proofs of God and immortality.”

Russell did not like Pythagoras, just as he disliked other radical thinkers such as Hegel and Nietzsche. A product of extreme English privilege and cynicism, completely lacking any spiritual sensibility, Russell simply could not understand either radical illiberalism (as in Nietzsche) or the ultimate journey towards union with God (Pythagoras and Hegel). In his commentaries, he scoffed at Pythagoras whenever he got the chance, but at least he was aware of Pythagoras’s stunning significance in world history.

The Illuminati are the intellectual soul of the world. Sadly, humanity has chosen war, greed, selfishness, vanity and money rather than the mind and spirituality as its gods i.e. it has decided to worship the Demiurge instead of Abraxas. Read the Bible. You will find ZERO intellectual content, but you will be overwhelmed by tales of violence and greed, and the psychopathic cruelty of the evil god Yahweh, better known as Satan, to whom the majority of humanity genuflects. The earth is a planet of Devil worshippers. It was not for nothing that many Gnostics considered this world as none other than hell, meaning that we – humanity – are the damned.

As he reached maturity, Pythagoras was all too aware of the wickedness of mankind. He detested the corrupt, dishonest, immoral, treacherous tyrant Polycrates who ruled Samos. With a vast navy at his disposal, Polycrates had made Samos an influential player in regional affairs. However, he often used his fleet for piracy, and had a habit of changing sides whenever it suited him, making him a marked man.

Pythagoras left Samos and made his way to the Greek colony at Croton in southern Italy – famous for its knowledge of medicine – where a group of Illuminists who had found a benign home there begged him to join them. As for Polycrates, his luck ran out and he was captured by his enemies and crucified.

It has been suggested that the magic Mediterranean island in Shakespeare’s play The Tempest was based on Samos, and the character of Prospero on Pythagoras himself. Certainly, Pythagoras was a figure of mystery and legend, a religious prophet and pure mathematician, a scientist and magician, a cross between Einstein and Merlin, striving to unite reason and mysticism, science and religion.

Shaman, showman and genius, there has never been anyone quite like Pythagoras, a man of supernatural charisma. At Croton, he created the Illuminati as a formal secret society, with himself as its first Grand Master, and with a specific mission to make its members worthy of the Phosters, from whom they would surely learn the final secrets of existence. Under his stewardship, the Illuminati became the precursor and template of all future secret societies.

So, that is the story of how Solomon and Pythagoras are linked, how Solomon’s kingdom of Israel became connected with the Greek world of Pythagoras via the beautiful and historic country of Phoenicia. The Phoenix flew over all these lands, a symbol of the spreading of spirituality and the inspiring possibility of starting anew, free of the shackles of Yahweh, the Demiurge.

The great Solomon, famed for his wisdom, was no worshipper of the monstrous God of the fanatical Jewish priesthood. One of the biggest lies in history was that the Temple of Solomon was built to honour Yahweh. In fact it was dedicated to Sophia, goddess of wisdom, as was entirely fitting.

Solomon, the wisest of men, attributed his wisdom to Sophia, and honoured her above all others. He is often accused of worshipping Syrian, Phoenician, Palestinian and Canaanite goddesses of love, sex and fertility, but in fact it was Sophia to whom he was devoted. And it was in the name of wisdom that Solomon conceived the plot to kill ignorance once and for all. The God of ignorance was Yahweh, and Solomon concluded that if this backward, negative, evil, stupid God had a purely physical existence and could be killed then humanity would at last be free and able to ascend to divinity. The novel The Armageddon Conspiracy by Mike Hockney is about this astounding plot “to kill God”, but set in the modern world.
