The Ancient History of the Illuminati:
The origins of the Illuminati stretch far back into prehistory, but as a formal organisation, the Illuminati began, as has been mentioned, as the mystery school of Pythagoras in the Greek colony of Croton in Southern Italy. The Illuminati prospered for a time before being savagely attacked by enemies envious of their secret knowledge. Most were killed, including Pythagoras himself.
The survivors escaped to Greece and set up a new school. For safety, the Illuminati kept on the move, relocating every ten years throughout the Greek city-states and their colonies, and then in the countries conquered by Alexander the Great, including Syria, Egypt, Babylonia, Persia and Northern India. As the star of Rome rose, the Illuminati made their base in Rome, and then in provinces of the Roman Empire. Around 200 CE, the Order established itself in the intellectual centre of the world: Alexandria in Egypt. It remained there until the brutal execution of Grand Master Hypatia in 415 CE at the hands of Christians.
In Bertrand Russell’s book on the history of Western Philosophy, he provides this horrific description of what transpired: “St Cyril, the advocate of unity, was a man of fanatical zeal. He used his position as patriarch of Alexandria to incite pogroms against the very large Jewish colony in Alexandria. His chief claim to fame is the lynching of Hypatia, a distinguished lady who, in an age of bigotry, adhered to the Neoplatonic philosophy and devoted her talents to mathematics. She was torn from her chariot, stripped naked, dragged to the church, and inhumanly butchered by the hands of Peter the Reader and a troop of savage and merciless fanatics: her flesh was scraped from her bones with sharp oyster-shells and her quivering limbs were delivered to the flames…After this, Alexandria was no longer troubled by philosophers.”
As in the time of Pythagoras, the Grand Master was not the only Illuminatus to perish: the Christians slaughtered hundreds – many of the finest minds of the ancient world – and most of their precious writings were destroyed with them.
The survivors were in a quandary about where to go to rebuild. The Roman Empire was collapsing. Alaric in 410 CE had sacked Rome itself. Barbarians and Christian extremists were everywhere. The Illuminati decided to go to a remote, well-protected country on the fringe of the Empire that they had visited in ancient times and where they had been based prior to moving to Alexandria in the first place. That country was Britain. The Romans had only just departed (the final withdrawals taking place in about 407 CE) and the country was still relatively stable and civilised. Although there were problems with barbarians, these were not as bad as in many other areas of the disintegrating Roman Empire. Moreover, many Britons had not yet succumbed to Christianity, or only at a superficial level, and there were still vestiges of ancient enlightenment religions of paganism, most especially Druidism.
The Illuminati stayed in Britain for the next few hundred years, and it is in this period that the historical events took place that furnished the basis for the future tales of Arthur, Merlin, Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table, and of the Waste Land and the Quest for the Holy Grail (which is, of course, pagan and not Christian).
The Knights of the Round Table embarking on a holy mission to find the Grail became the model for the future Knights Templar – a tightly knit group of holy knights dedicating their lives to sacred tasks.
Merlin (a Druid) became the template for the future Alchemists.
Camelot became the symbol for a City of God on Earth, the perfect city-state to which humanity should aspire.
The Round Table became the symbol of Meritocracy over Privilege.
Arthur became the symbol of leaders dedicated to higher ends rather than greed and self-interest.
The Waste Land became the symbol of both the Satanic Abrahamic world and the barbarian hordes flooding across Europe.
The Gnostic religion of Arthur and his realm became the template for the future Gnostic religion of Catharism – the religion of the “pure ones”. The priests of the Cathars were called the Perfectii – the “perfect ones” (those who had dedicated themselves to achieving enlightenment and becoming perfect – becoming God). Females Perfects were called Perfectae. (Women, unlike in Christianity, were eligible for all of the same religious positions as men.)
Now you have seen the trail that leads from Pythagoras to Rome to Alexandria to Arthurian Britain, and then to Alchemy, the Cathars and the Knights Templar.

The Hidden Light:
Although the Illuminati has always been a secret society, its ideas have featured prominently in world history, albeit at one step removed. Plato, one of the greatest intellectuals of all time, was an Illuminatus. He was expelled from the society at an early stage for failing to protect its secrets, thus breaking the membership oath he had taken in common with all other members. Nevertheless, being a genius, he was able to form a relatively clear idea of where the basic teachings of the Illuminati that he had already learned were leading.
The works of Plato are filled with the ideas of the Illuminati, though they are heavily intertwined with his own unique and brilliant contributions. Plato established his famous Academy in Athens, basing it on the model of the Pythagorean schools of the Illuminati. His most famous pupil was Aristotle, an equally important figure in Western thought. Aristotle became frustrated and embittered when, on Plato’s death, he was passed over as the new leader of the Academy despite being the most outstanding candidate. He left Athens, and when he returned years later he established his own school, called the Lyceum.
Aristotle was not an Illuminatus, but Plato’s influence on him ensured that his philosophy also featured many ideas compatible with Illuminism.
Through Plato and Aristotle, some of the key ideas of Illuminism indirectly found their way into the world.
During the Roman Empire, the Illuminati formed a plan to create a religion compatible with Illuminism that might allow them to take control of the empire via the Roman army. That religion was Mithraism. Not until the era of Hegel did the Illuminati place in the public arena anything that could properly be called Illuminism. Anyone who has studied Hegel’s philosophy – regarded by many expert philosophers as staggeringly complex – will understand why it would have been futile to have done so at any earlier time.
Although Mithraism did indeed become the favoured religion of the Roman legionaries, it was never powerful enough to overcome Roman politics. There was never any realistic possibility that the Roman legions would unite to fight under the banner of Mithras and create an enlightened Roman Republic based on the principles formulated by the two great tribunes of the People: the Gracchus brothers. In fact, it wasn’t until the formation of the American Republic via Freemasonry that the Illuminati’s plan seemed to have come to belated fruition. But the American Dream turned into a nightmare.
The French Republic was another attempt (partially successful), and the final attempt was Hegel’s in relation to Prussia (a complete failure). The Illuminati also assisted in the Russian Revolution, but it was not an official Illuminati project due to worries (later justified) over how Communism would evolve.
As for Mithraism, it suffered the strangest of fates. A Mithraic priest from a Jewish background – the man known to history as Saint Paul – combined it with Messianic Judaism to create the religion that eventually swept half the world: Christianity. Just as the Illuminati had hoped to create a Mithraic army to change the world, there came a time when Christian armies did exactly that.
When it became clear that Mithraism could not defeat Christianity (because it had effectively been subsumed by Christianity), the Illuminati looked for another way to stop the spread of Christianity. A brilliant Grand Master called Ammonius Saccas, the first to establish himself in Alexandria in Egypt, decided to teach a group of talented “outsiders” a simplified version of Illuminism (just as Mithraism was). He hoped that these individuals would use the new ideas in various ways to produce inspirational systems, at least one of which would rival Christianity and stop it in its tracks.
Since the philosophy of Plato was highly influential amongst the educated class and since it already reflected many ideas of Illuminism, it was decided to create a religion based on Platonism. This became known to history as Neoplatonism (hence why Hypatia was referred to by Bertrand Russell as a Neoplatonist).
Although Plato’s work contained religious ideas, it was far more philosophical than religious. Neoplatonism was designed to reverse the emphasis and give primacy to religion over philosophy, while preserving the firm philosophical base.
In effect, Neoplatonism turned abstract Platonism into religion. In the past, most popular religions had been based on prophets, holy books, wise men, tales of gods, angels and demons. Neoplatonism was one of the few that sought to place reason and logic at the core of religion, and to assert that religion could be worked out from first principles by the human mind. No revelations were required, no faith – just the workings of clever human minds. Neoplatonism was a way of trying to take back religion from the irrationalists.
People who assert that religion occupies a different space from philosophy and science are deluded. How can there be three truths? In fact there is only one truth approached from three angles. The three angles must converge. They cannot contradict each other. So, when “revelation” makes opposite claims to science then either science is wrong or revelation is wrong. Any intelligent person will surely side with the scientific evidence over the words of some crazy prophet claiming that he is the channel of the Word of God.
In the Grand Unified Theory of Everything, mathematics, science, philosophy and religion must all be compatible at the deepest level. From its inception, the Illuminati dedicated itself to this task. The Illuminati alone did not succumb to the fragmentation and specialisation that happened everywhere else. While all other schools of thought distilled themselves into pure philosophy, mathematics, science or theology, the Illuminati maintained all four on the same footing. The final truth comes from them all; not from one or the other. It has been a disaster to split them off into separate activities with little in common. Scientists on the whole are entirely ignorant of philosophy, religion and even of a great deal of mathematics. Theologians know nothing of science and mathematics and have only a superficial knowledge of philosophy. Stephen Hawking recently said that philosophers no longer had much to say about the true nature of things because they had been unable to keep up with the latest science. In turn, philosophers say that scientists have not understood the precarious foundations of a great deal of scientific “knowledge”. Some philosophers say that science does not so much discover the truth as construct it.
Human beings will never be satisfied until they have all the answers and see how everything comes together in one infinitely satisfying whole. Illuminism is precisely that greatest of human undertakings: the project to understand the Mind of God mathematically, scientifically, philosophically and religiously.
From the school of Ammonius Saccas in Alexandria, two of the most distinguished figures of the age appeared: Origen and Plotinus. The former was a Christian and the latter a pagan. Ammonius Saccas hoped that Origen might poison Christianity from within with heretical ideas, while Plotinus, a skilled and poetic writer, was judged capable of taking and transforming the teachings of Neoplatonism into a beautiful new religion that would capture the imagination of the people more than Christianity ever had. Neoplatonism’s founder was Ammonius Saccas, but its most famous exposition is through the work of Plotinus.

Hypatia:
Hypatia was born into an educated Greek family that lived in Alexandria, Egypt under the rule of the Roman Empire, and she became a distinguished and greatly respected scholar. Her name means “highest, supremest”, and it was a fitting name for one of history’s most remarkable women. She is often described as the first woman to be recognised as a mathematician and she also taught advanced philosophy and astronomy. It has been said that her murder brought the curtain down on the period known as Classical antiquity, although others have identified a better end-point as the closing of Plato’s Academy in Athens by order of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian in 529 CE. That certainly symbolised the death of the great pagan philosophical and religious traditions of ancient Greece, and led to the disastrous domination of Christianity for the next thousand years: THE LOST MILLENNIUM. THE DARK AGES. Even now, the darkness has not been dispelled.
But there are those who seek the world of Light, who seek the New World Order. Women, who were treated abominably by Christianity, Judaism and Islam, need different role models to turn to. There is none better than Hypatia, the pagan genius.

Illuminati Degrees:
The Illuminati have ten degrees: seven standard and three mystery degrees. The original degrees were formulated by the first Grand Master of the Illuminati – Pythagoras, the ancient Greek mystic, philosopher and mathematician. His system was based on his cosmological system, which was as much symbolical as real.
Pythagoras was the first man to call himself a philosopher – a lover of wisdom – and he was also the first to declare that the earth wasn’t the centre of the universe. Instead, a mystical central fire (not the sun) was put at the centre of the cosmos, thus making this model a forerunner of the Copernican system. The central fire was referred to as the “House of Abraxas” – and represented, symbolically, the home of the True God, the eternal realm of divine light and warmth. (The central fire might also be considered as energy, in particular as mental energy, radiating life, mind and consciousness to the cosmos.)
Ten heavenly bodies revolved around the cosmic fire: the counterearth (this was identical to the earth and followed the same orbit, but was diametrically opposite on the far side of the central fire and therefore permanently invisible from the earth), the earth itself, the moon, the sun, the five planets known at the time and the sphere of fixed stars of the celestial plane. Beyond, lay infinite space. The heavenly bodies, moving in perfect circular orbits, created the divine sound known as the Music of the Spheres, which permeated the entire universe but could be heard only by the True God.
******
The Pythagorean Degrees of the Illuminati
Standard degrees:
1st: The Heaven of the Fixed Stars.
2nd: Kronos (Saturn). Kronos was the leader of the Titans. (He castrated his father Uranus, thus taking his power from him. He ruled the world during the mythological Golden Age. He was the father of the Olympian gods. He was overthrown by his son Zeus, and he and the other Titans were bound in the underworld.)
3rd: Zeus (Jupiter, Jove). The king of the Olympian gods.
4th: Ares (Mars). The god of war.
5th: Helios (Sol). The sun.
6th: Aphrodite (Venus). The goddess of love and beauty.
7th: Hermes (Mercury). The messenger of the gods.
Mystery Degrees:
8th: Selene (Luna). The moon.
9th: Gaia (Terra Mater). The earth.
10th: Antichthon. The counter-earth.
Antichthon is the highest degree because it represents the opportunity for humanity to transform itself beyond recognition. While this earth is corrupt, wicked and fallen, the counter-earth offers the promise of the complete opposite: paradise, free of the malignant influence of the Demiurge and the Old World Order. Antichthon, the counter-earth, is what the earth can and should be. The Golden Age of Saturn can be restored (indeed Saturn is now said to live on the counter-earth – heaven – while the earth is now the opposite – hell).
The Mithraic Degrees of the Illuminati
In later times, the Greek Pythagorean degrees were restyled according to a Roman system. The seven standard degrees became those of Mithraism, a mystery religion closely related to Illumination.
Standard degrees:
1st: Corax (the Raven), under the rule of Mercury.
2nd: Nymphus (the Bride), under the rule of Venus.
3rd: Miles (the Soldier), under the rule of Mars.
4th: Leo (the Lion), under the rule of Jupiter.
5th: Perses (the Persian), under the rule of the Moon.
6th: Heliodromus (the Sun Runner), under the rule of the Sun.
7th: Pater (the Father), under the rule of Saturn.
The Mystery Degrees:
8th: Minerva (symbolised by an owl – the Owl of Minerva).
9th: Magus (symbolised by the Phoenix, the sacred firebird that rises from the ashes).
10th: Deus Absconditus (the Hidden God, Abraxas, symbolised by the Tetraktys).
(The last of the four major Illuminati symbols is the skull and crossbones in honour of Simon Magus; the Greek Sphinx is also accorded special significance.)
These remain the degrees of the Illuminati in the present day. The majority of members belong to the standard degrees; the 10th degree is for the 12 members of the Ruling Council only. The identities of the Ruling Council are completely unknown to the basic membership, but at each initiation, one masked member of the Ruling Council is always in attendance and conducts the final part of the ceremony.
There were ten degrees in total because, for Pythagoras, the number 10 was divine. 1, 2, 3 and 4 were also revered as numbers because they add up to 10 and they form the divine triangle – the Tetraktys – which symbolized the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water) and, in its totality, also the mystical fifth essence, the Quintessence.
The Tetraktys is an equilateral triangle composed of dots in four rows, a visual representation of the equation: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10. The Tetraktys contains a hexagon and a three-dimensional cube (as shown in the picture at http://
If the Tetraktys is extended by adding new rows, up to a total of 36, the 36th “triangular” number is 666: the Number of the Beast in the Christian Book of Revelation! The number 36 has a crucial significance for the Illuminati, as does the Tetraktys extended to order 36. As for the 666th triangular number, this is equal to 222111. When two successive “triangular” numbers are added, the result is a square number e.g. 1 + 3 = 4; 3 + 6 = 9; 6 + 10 = 16; 10 + 15 = 25.

Pythagoras, First Grand Master of the Illuminati:
Pythagoras was born in 570 BCE on the Greek island of Samos. He was taught how to perform miracles by a mystic called Pherecydes who often travelled with Pythagoras’s father, and it was Pherecydes who first introduced him to the doctrines of the Illuminati. (At this time, the Illuminati did not exist as a formal organisation, but as a loose group of nomadic thinkers and mystics.) Pherecydes instructed Pythagoras on the immortality and transmigration of the human soul, the soul’s wanderings in the “underworld”, and the purpose of the soul’s cycle of reincarnations.
Pherecydes recommended Pythagoras to other members of the Illuminati, amongst whom were Egyptian priests, the most illustrious and learned of teachers in those times. When Pherecydes died, Pythagoras boarded ship and went to Egypt where he was taught secret knowledge, profound mysteries and advanced mathematics by the priests at Heliopolis, Memphis and Thebes. Later, he learned astronomy from the Chaldeans, geometry from the Phoenicians and occult knowledge from the Persian Magi. He also met the prophet Zarathustra (Zoroaster) in Persia. On his travels, he acquired all of the greatest wisdom then available in the world. He was uncontaminated by Judaism; and Christianity and Islam did not exist at this time. For people nowadays, it’s easy to forget that there was a time when people did not suffer from the warped mindset of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The world was once free of these horrific religions, and so it can be again.
According to Christianity, every human being went to hell before the coming of the “Redeemer”, Jesus Christ. If he had never come, the whole of humanity would have been condemned to hell. What sort of religion contemplates sending everyone to eternal perdition? What manner of Creator damns his own creation?
In Croton in southern Italy, Pythagoras founded a school where he taught the secret knowledge he had acquired. Here, the Illuminati first took shape as a formal organisation, with Pythagoras as the first Grand Master. Only he had the charisma and knowledge to command everyone’s unswerving loyalty. He and the newly initiated members of the Illuminati lived in a community where everything was held in common. There was no private property. Brotherly and sisterly cooperation was emphasised.
Pythagoras addressed the Illuminati from behind a curtain, so none could see him. Only those who had graduated to the mystery degrees of the Illuminati were admitted into his presence. Those who had attained the mystery grades, the inner circle, were called mathematikoi – the mathematicians – while the outer circle were called the akousmatikoi (“listeners”).
Pythagoras developed a secret language (still used by the senior members of the Illuminati), and elaborate numerical codes and symbolic messages. He devised initiation rites and introduced secret symbols and special handshakes. Compasses and set squares, tools of mathematics, were given high prominence as symbols. All of the trademarks of Masonic lodges were already evident here. The Illuminati formally created Freemasonry millennia later, based on these original Pythagorean customs and practices.
Pythagoras’s students considered him supernatural and a demigod. They said, “There are in the universe men and gods and beings like Pythagoras.” A biographer called him the “harmonic deity, halfway between gods and men.” (The idea of individuals ascending the scale between humanity and divinity is critical to the Illuminati.)
The Italian city of Sybaris was legendary for the opulence and luxury enjoyed by its citizens. This was an Old World Order city par excellence. Pythagoras condemned it as a lazy, corrupt, materialistic society, heedless of the poor, dedicated to making money and contemptuous of philosophy and ideas. The Crotons, rivals of Sybaris, attacked it and destroyed it.
The Illuminati grew increasingly more influential, but when a man called Chion, a person of “high birth” (i.e. a member of the Old World Order) was refused admission to the Order, he and a gang of thugs burned down the Illuminati’s headquarters, killing most of the initiates. Pythagoras escaped, but was pursued, caught and put to death in horrific fashion.
Pythagoras is one of the most brilliant and mysterious men in history. He was the first to attempt to bring together reason, logic, philosophy, mathematics and mysticism, subjects that have preoccupied the Illuminati ever since. One of the treasures of the Illuminati, only ever accessed by the Ruling Council, is an ancient manuscript by Pythagoras. As far as the wider world is concerned, he never wrote anything down.
He considered numbers to be the arche, the most fundamental element of the universe, the true nature of things. Although this sounds eccentric, no one can doubt that mathematics is deeply embedded in the fabric of the universe. If the universe weren’t mathematical it would be impossible to make any sense of it.
Mathematics is the language of order, organisation and patterns. When equations are solved, numbers are the result.
In the “clockwork” universe conceived by the French mathematician and philosopher Laplace, if the positions and motion of every particle in the universe could be determined at one time then all future positions and motions could be calculated too. In this sense, the universe could be characterised as a vast matrix of ever-changing numbers describing the dynamical positions of every particle (being moved around by the forces operating on them).
The introduction of quantum uncertainty simply changes the complexity of the matrix, but not the underlying numerical basis of this vision of reality. If the universe can be described on a moment to moment basis as an enormous matrix of numbers describing all possible positions of all possible particles, and all the experiences of humanity are coded in those numbers, then Pythagoras’s statement is not as strange as it initially sounds.
The movie The Matrix famously showed “reality” as huge arrays of numbers and symbols – machine code – cascading down computer screens, which then had to be translated into the reality with which we are familiar. After a while, this translation became automatic for those looking at the screens. This image would instantly have appealed to Pythagoras, except he may have regarded the screens of numbers and symbols as more real than the images of real life derived from them. The code would be the arche, while the decoded images would be secondary and derived, hence less real.
Pythagoras was the person most responsible for the numerology that features heavily in occult thinking. He condemned the visible world – the creation of the Demiurge – as false and illusory. In the classic language of Gnosticism, he said that the heavenly light was broken and obscured in mist and darkness. He had many characteristics in common with St Francis of Assisi; a love of poverty, despair at the behaviour of privileged elites, and a desire for brotherhood. He was even said to talk to animals, just like St Francis. Men and women were admitted into the Illuminati on equal terms, an exceptional occurrence in those times.
Bertrand Russell said that the vast majority of Plato’s philosophy had its roots in Pythagoreanism. Given the impact of Plato on the Western world, this shows just how important Pythagoras was. He could legitimately be considered the most influential of all philosophers. The great tragedy for the world was that it strayed away from Pythagoras, Gnosticism and the Illuminati and instead embraced the evil and idiotic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, plunging us into millennia of horror and despair. But Pythagoras will be reborn, and his message, and that of the Illuminati, will triumph in the end.
Russell wrote of Pythagoras, “The whole conception of an eternal world, revealed to the intellect but not to the senses, is derived from him.”
He was also reputed to have the ability to project messages onto the moon for the world to see. Using his own blood, he would write a message on a looking glass, point it at the moon, and the inscription would appear on the moon’s disc.
Pythagoras is famous for his theorem regarding right-angled triangles, but that is the least of his remarkable achievements. He taught that each number had its own special attributes.
Number Attribute:
1 monad (unity) the number of reason, the generator of numbers
2 dyad (diversity, opinion, otherness), first female number
3 triad (harmony = unity + diversity), first male number
4 (justice, retribution) squaring of accounts
5 (marriage) first female + first male
6 (creation) first female + first male + 1
…
10 (Universe) Tetraktys
The number pair 220 and 284 were an Illuminati recognition code. 220 and 284 are “amicable” numbers. Two numbers are amicable if each is the sum of the proper divisors (that is all the divisors except the number itself) of the other.
The sum of the proper divisors of 220 is 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 11 + 20 + 22 + 44 + 55 + 110 = 284. The sum of the proper divisors of 284 is 1 + 2 + 4 + 71 + 142 = 220.
If an Illuminati member showed a talisman bearing the number 220, the correct response was for another member to show a talisman bearing the number 284. This pair of numbers has become significant in magic, sorcery, astrology and the occult.
Other recognition codes were based on so-called Deficient, Perfect and Abundant Numbers. A number is perfect if it is equal to the sum of its proper divisors. 6 is a perfect number (1 + 2 + 3 = 6). A number is deficient if its sum falls short of the number. 8 is deficient (1 + 2 + 4 = 7). A number is abundant if the sum exceeds the number. 12 is abundant (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16).
Each degree of the Illuminati was associated with a particular Deficient, Perfect or Abundant number, and could be used by one member to reveal his rank to another.
These are just a few examples of the complex numerology used by the Illuminati.

The Historical Illuminati:
In contemporary mythology, the Illuminati have been branded as the puppetmasters who stand behind the establishment, pulling the strings, orchestrating the enslavement of the people of the world. The opposite is true. The Illuminati have always led the resistance against the tyrants. On occasions, they have come tantalisingly close to success, but mostly they have endured catastrophic defeats. They have tried to infiltrate the establishment, tried Trojan Horse strategies, guerrilla tactics and popular uprisings, tried to win the intellectual and religious debate, tried to subvert and undermine the establishment. Most attempts have ended in disaster, with the establishment unmolested and more powerful than ever. But it is never acceptable to surrender or abandon the struggle.
Too many people retreat into their micro-worlds of petty comforts where they pose no threat to the establishment, and that’s exactly what the establishment desire – our compliance and obedience, our refusal to stand up to them. The game of the establishment is nothing new. It was explicitly set out in Machiavelli’s The Prince, which baldly states the unscrupulous principles of how those with power should hold onto it. Lying, cheating, brutality, cruelty, pitilessness, inspiring fear and terror, breaking solemn oaths, hypocrisy, greed, bribery and corruption, extermination of rivals, making pacts with your enemies only to break them when it suits you, are all advocated as necessary tools. This behaviour is still on display every day from every government on earth.
The Illuminati have had a number of guises in the public arena, have formed many alliances and have founded many groups that they have used for particular purposes in the ongoing struggle against tyranny. But the objective has always been the same – to destroy the Old World Order, the network of powerful dynastic families and privileged elites that have engineered earthly wealth and power for themselves, and to hell with everyone else. The Old World Order were the masters thousands of years ago and they are the masters now. They assiduously follow the advice of Machiavelli, but they didn’t need him to tell them the rules of the game. Machiavelli merely methodically described what they had been doing for millennia.
Through every disaster, the OWO endure. Has the latest financial disaster dented their power? Not in the slightest. Nothing has changed. People talk about doing this and doing that against them, but in reality nothing happens. The system is locked down. It is impossible to change it within its own parameters. It is designed to be resistant to anything other than revolution, but there are few revolutionaries left in the world. The Old World Order’s system is close to perfection. It is a matrix of absolute control. Only a small number of people (some 6,000) run the world, yet they are backed up by all the agencies of oppression: the police, the military, the intelligence services, the law (designed, ultimately, to protect the assets of the rich). The billions of ordinary people in the world, who could sweep away tyranny in an instant, are too scared to fight back. They are cowed and docile. They are the “last men” to whom Nietzsche referred to derisively.
The Illuminati’s mission, in one sense, is to help last men regain their dignity, to throw off their chains and stand up straight for once. How is that to be done? By putting people in touch with their higher selves. When the divine spark is released in an individual, he no longer tolerates the condition of slavery, no longer mires himself in trivial and meaningless pursuits to pass the time. Above all things, the Old World Order fear what would happen if their manufactured mastery were challenged by legions of those who had found their higher selves and lost their fear. As will be shown below, many brave groups have resisted the OWO. The vastly more numerous forces of the OWO crushed them, but it will not always be so. “The darkest hour is just before the dawn.”

There are several key ways for ordinary researchers to identify movements and groups from history that were linked to the Illuminati. The groups in question probably taught reincarnation; probably had an unusually strong message of freedom and equality directed at the least privileged strata of society; probably wished to remove power and wealth from the greedy and oppressive rulers of society; probably emphasised the “Holy Spirit”; and probably made claims that seemed astonishing and heretical to those brainwashed by revealed religions such as Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
These claims would often be perceived as self-exaltation to such a degree that it amounted to self-deification. “I am becoming God” sounds to some people like a crazy assertion, but the meaning behind such a claim was that the practitioners were asserting that they had made first contact with their higher self – with the divine spark, part of the divine order – and they could now start to partake of the divine experience i.e. they had attained the initial stage of godliness and could anticipate progression to full union. Revealed religions regard such claims as the greatest taboo whereas for mystery religions they are the supreme truth, the culmination of the personal quest for ultimate knowledge, for the Holy Grail itself.
Not all groups that taught messages of this kind were directly linked with the Illuminati. Some were imitating the Illuminati, based on second-hand knowledge and rumours, some were led by renegade Illuminists who had been expelled from the society for transgressions; and some inspirational leaders just happened to create religions and philosophies (usually in opposition to revealed religions) that shared elements in common with the teachings of the Illuminati.
The Illuminati have never had a large number of members for the simple reason that secrets do not remain secrets if too many people have access to them. It is because the Illuminati have adopted a leadership role behind the scenes rather taken the field as a mass movement that they have been described as “puppet masters”.
Below is a list of the groups and movements that were either led by the Illuminati, connected with the Illuminati, or influenced by the Illuminati. It is a history of resistance to the rich elites. In the same way that the establishment is essentially a coherent whole, duplicated across nations and time, so is the resistance to it. By no means is all resistance associated with the Illuminati, but resistance of a certain type, with the sorts of characteristics described earlier, invariably is. It is the world’s most fascinating secret history.

The Order of Solomon – Solomon, the famous Biblical King of Israel, is sometimes referred to as a Grand Master of the Illuminati even though he lived centuries before the first official Grand Master, Pythagoras. He was given this title retrospectively to honour his importance to the Illuminati. In Solomon’s time, the Illuminati were wandering holy men, mystics and philosophers. One of these travelled to the kingdom of Israel, was introduced to Solomon, and succeeded in enlightening him. (Solomon, renowned for his wisdom, was quick to see the truth of what he was being told.) Solomon created a secret group that came to be called the Order of Solomon, the task of which was a) to work to end the Hebrews’ worship of Jehovah, and b) something much more remarkable – to actually kill Jehovah. (This forms the background of the book The Armageddon Conspiracy by Mike Hockney.) The Order of Solomon disintegrated after Solomon’s death, though it was reborn much later in the form of the Order of Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon – the famous Knights Templar whose earliest years were dedicated to excavating the foundations of Solomon’s Temple to rediscover ancient treasures and secrets.
Druidism – a Celtic version of Gnosticism. (Just as there were Celtic and Roman versions of Christianity, with the Roman emerging on top, there were also Celtic and Greek versions of Gnosticism. The Celtic version was virtually exterminated when the Romans slaughtered the Druids in Britain. Remnants of Druidism survived in Ireland but gradually succumbed to Christianity. (Druids met Pythagoras, the Illuminati’s first Grand Master, and adopted many of the teachings of the Illuminati. Merlin, in the legends of King Arthur, represents both Druidism and the “magical” power of a man who has direct and reliable contact with his higher self.)
Simon Magus – was the greatest and most revered Grand Master of the Illuminati, for reasons that will not be disclosed at this time. Early Christian Church Fathers regarded him as the most prominent and dangerous Gnostic, the heresiarch. There were many Gnostic sects, all of which were respected by the Illuminati, but there was considerable divergence between what each sect taught. The Gnostic sects that were closely linked to the Illuminati were the Carpocratians (mentioned in Prohibition A by Mike Hockney), Cainites, the Ophites and the Johannites (see The Armageddon Conspiracy).
Mithraism – a Gnostic mystery religion led by the Illuminati. The Illuminati attempted to introduce a religion that would appeal to the Roman army and thereby allow them to secure military control of the Roman Empire. Many Roman soldiers became Mithraists, but the secrecy inherent in Mithraism eventually counted against it. For obvious reasons, mystery religions cannot go public on any significant scale and that prevents them from becoming mass movements. Christianity entered the public sphere and became far more popular and powerful than Mithraism. It stole many Mithraic elements and gradually neutralised the threat of Mithraism.
Manichaeism – Mani was a member of the Illuminati tasked with creating a Gnostic religion open to all (rather than to approved initiates only, as in Mithraism), which would directly rival Christianity. It was called the Religion of Light. The idea was that the best Manicheans would then be introduced to the Illuminati’s higher mystery religion – Illumination. Manichaeism was highly successful for a time, but was ultimately defeated by the world’s main religions. Mani himself suffered a horrific death. For 26 days he was kept in prison in heavy chains, then he was flayed alive and his skin, stuffed with straw, was nailed to a cross and suspended over the main gate of the great city of Jundishapur as a terrifying spectacle for those who followed his teachings. His dead body was decapitated and the head placed on a spike.
Hermeticism – a school of thought not directly established by the Illuminati but which was inspired by Illuminism and addressed many similar interests. It helped to keep alive esoteric thinking in a time when the Illuminati came close to extinction during the collapse of the Roman Empire and the coming of the Dark Ages. Hermeticism has always been greatly respected by the Illuminati. The central difference between Hermeticism and Gnosticism is that Hermeticists do not say that the world is the creation of an evil Demiurge and that humanity is under his malign power. Rather, they claim that humanity is separated from God by a kind of laziness, apathy, stupor, ignorance, lust, and enslavement to bodily concerns instead of those of the spirit. If only humanity could wake up and free itself of sensual pleasures and distractions, of a materialistic mindset, it could commune directly with God.
Gnosticism and Hermeticism both concern the quest to discover the higher self, the divine spark, the means for man to become God. To that extent, the Illuminati are supportive of the agenda of Hermeticism. Those people who do not find themselves convinced that earth is in thrall to a malignant force can still find their way to many of the truths of Illumination via Hermeticism. Illumination and Hermeticism are two roads to salvation. The Illuminati have always taught that those who follow the Hermetic path will, one day, as they discover higher truth and insights, reach the same path as the Illuminati.
The essential difference between Hermeticism and Illumination on one side, and religions like Christianity, Judaism and Islam on the other is that whereas followers of the latter are alienated from God and regard him as external, distant and infinitely far above their level, the former see him as internal, close and, when enlightenment is attained, identical with them. Buddhists and Hindus, meanwhile, think that when they reach enlightenment, they will become absorbed in the divine essence, the great and eternal Oneness. In other words, Christians, Jews and Muslims view themselves as always separate from God, Buddhists and Hindus as becoming one with God/Nature (but with their own individuality completely extinguished), and Hermeticists and the Illuminati as becoming God, but with their individuality retained.
This is a difficult concept for most people to grasp. The best modern analogy is that of a hologram. Physicist David Bohm said of the hologram, “…one in effect sees the whole of the original structure, in three dimensions, and from a range of possible points of view (as if one were looking at it through a window). If we then illuminate only a small region [of the hologram], we still see the whole structure, but in somewhat less sharply defined detail and from a decreased range of possible points of view (as if we were looking through a smaller window). It is clear, then, that there is no one-to-one correspondence between parts of an ‘illuminated object’ and parts of a [holographic image of this object]. Rather, the interference pattern in each region [of the hologram] is relevant to the whole structure, and each region of the structure is relevant to the whole of the interference pattern [of the hologram].” Do you see the holographic analogy to God and the divine sparks that reside in humanity? Each spark is individual yet contains the whole (God), but “as if one were looking through a smaller window”. Moreover, the whole (God) relies on each individual part.
So, which path will you choose? Do you want to stand always in God’s infinite shadow as the Christians, Jews and Muslims do, or become absorbed by him so that you as an individual no longer exist, as the Buddhists and Hindus advocate, or do you want to attain divinity while retaining your individual identity? The answer should be obvious to any thinking person.
An example of a group led by a renegade Illuminist was the Euchites (Messalians) who looked back to the early years of the Illuminati. The Illuminati started out as wandering holy men, mystics and philosophers before becoming a settled organisation. The Euchites went back to basics and again became nomadic holy men living by begging. They taught that they had communed with their divine selves and were therefore incapable of sin: everything they did was good and justified, they declared. This often led to anarchic excess, particularly of a sexual nature. This represented a corruption of the Illuminati’s controversial teaching of “Sin for Salvation” which requires high levels of control and self-discipline and must always be harnessed to strict asceticism. Sinning for sinning’s sake is self-indulgent, counterproductive and leads to no genuine contact with the higher self. But “sin” when used as a deliberate attack on the teachings of false religions can be an instrument of transcendent liberation. Much of the rhetoric of sin has nothing to do with good and evil and is all about control; about mass brainwashing to promote the agenda of the controllers. Nothing is more important than ridding humanity of such “sins” – the sins defined by the Old World Order, which are no sins at all.

The First Philosopher:
Pythagoras was the first person to be known as a philosopher, the first to use that term to describe himself, the first pure mathematician and the first person to adopt a systematic, deductive, scientific method, making him the forefather of modern science.
Such was his renown that the phrase autos epha was coined, meaning, “he himself said it.” This was later translated into a famous Latin phrase: ipse dixit. Anyone who wanted to end a debate, simply declared, “He himself said it.” No one dared challenge a direct pronouncement of Pythagoras.
He was famed for his skill with the lyre, and, like Orpheus, he used music to help those who were ill and to soothe wild animals. He was obsessed with music because it brought numbers to life. Music might be considered as aural mathematics: mathematics transformed into emotion. Social and political harmony are akin to beautiful music, while the chaotic opposite is music that has degenerated into discord.
Twenty-one of the central principles taught by Pythagoras to the inner circle of the Illuminati (who were known as the mathematikoi) were:
(1) Reality is mathematical at its deepest level.
(2) The cosmos exhibits order because it obeys mathematical laws.
(3) If the cosmos were not mathematical it would be permanently chaotic and random. No form of organization would ever have emerged. No life could have arisen.
(4) Mathematics is the first language of the cosmos. Mathematics underlies reason, order, organization, pattern, logic, and form.
(5) God is mathematics come to life.
(6) God is mathematical perfection.
(7) The thinking mind, both human and divine, is born of mathematics.
(8) The mathematics of humanity can evolve to the mathematics of divinity: the latter is simply an inferior version of the latter.
(9) Through the understanding of mathematics, humans can comprehend the Mind of God.
(10) The human soul reflects the mathematics of eternity.
(11) Mathematics and philosophy can purify the soul spiritually.
(12) The human soul can rise to union with the divine.
(13) Certain symbols have a mystical significance via which the secrets of God are revealed.
(14) God has filled the cosmos with mathematical messages (codes) to the human race to provide the answers to all of our questions. We need only read the codes, but to do so we must learn to see through God’s eyes.
(15) Good and evil have their origins in mathematics. Good is associated with those who wish to live in harmony with others; evil is the result of the desire to destroy harmony by treating others in a lesser way than one would expect to be treated oneself. Good people seek harmony; evil people seek discord. Good people seek cooperation, evil people seek to put others down in order to raise themselves up.
(16) God wants all good people to join him. He rejects all evil people.
(17) Emotion is based on music, and music on mathematics. All of our emotions are reflected in music. Music can make us happy, sad, tearful, and ecstatic. It can rouse us to dance. It can plunge us into despair. It can deliver serenity. It can make us restless. It can inspire us, or crush us. It can allow us to enter into communion with others. It can raise our minds to the level of the divine. Through perfect music, we can glimpse the perfect mind of God.
(18) All things have a profound inner grasp of mathematics. Even when they do not know it, all things are carried along in the eternal flow of mathematics, the river of enlightenment.
(19) Those who do not understand mathematics are those who have not had what is buried within them brought into the light of reason.
(20) Light and sound are mathematical. In the afterlife, we hear the Music of the Spheres and see the infinitely dazzling light patterns of eternity.
(21) All Brothers and Sisters of the Order should observe strict loyalty and secrecy.
Twenty-one was a revered number because it was the product of two of the most sacred numbers: three and seven.
Consider the sophistication of Pythagoras’s principles in contrast with the primitive and childish stories, parables, laws and commandments of the Torah, Bible and Koran. How could Jews, Christians or Muslims ever claim to have any real knowledge of anything at all? Abrahamism is all about superstition, fear and control.
“Bless us, divine number, who generated gods and men. Number contains the root and source of eternally flowing creation.” –Pythagoras
“One cannot escape the feeling that these mathematical formulas have an independent existence and intelligence of their own, that they are wiser than we are…” –Heinrich Hertz
The soul, if it is to be at all meaningful in this scientific age, must be capable of a scientific and hence mathematical description. From the outset, Pythagoras treated the soul scientifically and mathematically. Any religion that fails to do so is no religion at all, but mere moonshine for simpletons.
This is not to say that the soul can be fully described and defined mathematically. Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata may be analysed mathematically, divided up into waveforms, amplitudes, sine waves, frequencies, wavelengths etc. We can thus provide an exact mathematical analysis of the music, sufficient to allow us to copy it onto millions of plastic disks and transport it all around the world, where it will be reproduced exactly each time it is played. But how can mathematics define how the music makes us feel? The external mathematical definition of the soul does not and never can express what it’s like to be a soul, how it feels, how it’s experienced, what the inner nature of the soul is; its moral content. Mysticism, esotericism, intuition, insight, the inner eye, and, above all, Gnosticism, can all help here. Even so, just as there would be no Moonlight Sonata without mathematics, nor could the soul exist without mathematics.
The mathematical and scientific nature of the soul must be addressed by any credible religion. Any religion that cannot do so must be rejected as false. In fact, Einstein’s special theory of relativity, Minkowski’s 4D spacetime, and Quantum Mechanics, provide the ideal modern framework in which to define the soul (as demonstrated by other books in this series). And at the heart of all of these stands none other than Pythagoras’ Theorem, known to every schoolchild. You will not find any religion other than Illumination that can describe the science and mathematics of the soul. All other religions are fake and phoney, particularly the ludicrous Abrahamic faiths which directly contradict science and hence are simply unbelievable. These infantile religions must be consigned to the oblivion they deserve.
Plato’s famous Academy, and Aristotle’s Lyceum, the templates for modern universities, were based on Pythagoras’s Illuminati school of mathematics, science, philosophy, religion and esoteric knowledge at Croton in Italy. Thus, in a sense, the whole education system enjoyed by the world today is in debt to the Illuminati. Yet if humanity is to fulfil its divine potential, the education system needs to be vastly more like Pythagoras’ original mystery school and much less like the modern sausage factories of today’s mass produced education for producing legions of capitalist worker droids.

The Illuminati Republic:
Some people have suggested that Adam Weishaupt, the Illuminati’s most controversial Grand Master, was inspired by the political vision set out in The Republic by Plato. In fact, almost the opposite is true insofar as Plato’s political views were entirely the product of his involvement as a First Degree novice with the Illuminati. (He never proceeded beyond that level because he was expelled for failing to maintain the rigorous secrecy demanded by the Order.) In other words, the Illuminati shaped Plato, not the other way around. Weishaupt simply remained loyal to all of the ancient political positions espoused by Pythagoras as the first Grand Master of the Illuminati.
Given that The Republic reflects the Illuminati’s political thinking then Plato’s great work is certainly the place to go if you wish to understand the politics of the Illuminati from the earliest times. Plato’s other political work The Laws is equally valuable. The internal workings and organisation of the Illuminati can be discerned from a close reading of these works.
The Illuminati, from its inception, was a meritocracy. Members advanced through the organization on merit alone. The Grand Master was the most meritorious of all, elected by a majority vote of his peers within the organization. Meritocracy uses the democratic device of a vote to avoid selecting by lot or by allowing those already in power to appoint someone. However, only those suitably qualified are allowed to vote. The modern notion of giving everyone a vote for managing the stupendous feat of staying alive for 18 years, regardless of any expertise that they may or may not have acquired, is ridiculous, and a guarantee of bad government.
In ancient Greece, meritocracy was known as aristocracy – “rule by the best” i.e. the most talented. Historically, the rich hijacked the word “aristocracy” since they believed that to be the richest was to be the best. In fact, rule by the rich is rightly known as plutocracy, but the rich never liked to view themselves as merely wealthy, so chose not to use that label. They wanted wealth to reflect superior moral and intellectual qualities. The same attitude persists to this day amongst capitalists and libertarians: wealth = superior moral worth in their materialistic equation. Poor people are “evil” because they are poor. QED. (Karmic thinking makes similar claims.)
To the Illuminati and to Plato, aristocrats were indeed those with superior intellectual and moral qualities, but one quality they certainly did not possess was wealth. The Illuminati lived as an extremely tightly bound community with no private wealth, and they have even been described as proto communists. No one owned any private property – all property was held in common. Everyone lived in common housing and shared common meals. Each degree of the Illuminati had various “housekeeping” tasks to perform to maintain the community, and the tasks were shared out equally. There was no favouritism or privilege.
The Illuminati strove to bring about an enlightened society founded on justice, freedom, community, talent, the universal well being of the people, and the maximization of everyone’s potential, led by the people who had demonstrated the highest merit, as acknowledged by their peers.
In Plato’s Republic, the state is run by an educated class known as the Guardians (who are the most meritorious). From their number, a philosopher-king is chosen to serve as ruler of the state. This individual was the equivalent of the Illuminati’s Grand Master. In modern terms, it would be the President, Prime Minister or Chancellor.
Capitalists and libertarians have always despised Plato (and by extension Pythagoras), describing him as a communist or fascist, depending on taste and mood. They loathe the way that Plato condemns wealth and supports a form of government that seeks to perfect humanity rather than leaving it to go shopping. Nothing could be more soul-destroying than the “philosophy” of capitalists and libertarians, the ideology of unrestrained greed, unchecked by government. In fact, for capitalists and libertarians, government should not exist at all, making them nothing but anarchists. These people constitute an astounding threat to humanity’s future.
The contemporary political thinking of the Illuminati is a dialectical evolution of Pythagoras’s original utopian state. The dialectic itself now takes centre stage. Every process in a state should reflect dialectical principles. Every aspect of society should be evolving towards perfection. The wisdom, creativity, and aspirations of the people – “crowdsourcing” – should be invoked as much as possible.
The idea of elites, divorced from the needs and wants of the people and acting in their own interests, is anathema. Crowdsourcing and meritocracy, working in a continual feedback loop, can provide the engine to take humanity to the next stage of its evolution. The people should be working in partnership with government. They should not be passive recipients of diktats from on high, from a remote government of the privileged elite. Citizens must be active in the moulding of the state, contributing at every level. Government and the people should be hardwired together: there should be no possibility of the government not representing the people’s interests. Any government that is not deemed by the people to be representing the General Will of the people is a tyranny, reflecting only the particular wills of the ruling elite.
In the past, the elite burned “witches” – innocent women who dared to think for themselves. Now it’s time that the elite’s mansions and fortresses were burned to the ground.
__________
The Tribunes of the People:
One of the most influential struggles between the rich elite and the people took place in ancient Rome. The Old World Order have made a careful study of this period, and it shapes much of their current strategic thinking. By the same token, the Illuminati also devote much thought to the example set by Rome, particularly since two of the prime protagonists were Illuminati martyrs.
Ancient Rome, in its earliest times, was a monarchy. The Roman kings, like so many of their kind, degenerated into tyranny and were violently deposed. The aptly named Tarquinius Superbus (“Tarquin the Proud”) was the seventh and last of the unlamented line.
Rome became an oligarchic republic, ruled by the Senate, an assembly comprised of male Senators from, almost exclusively, the most elite Roman families. The Republic was referred to by the letters SPQR: SENATUS POPULUS QUE ROMANUS (“The Senate and People of Rome.”) In effect, this could be translated as The Rich Elite and the ordinary people of Rome. And thus it is in virtually every nation on earth even now: power in the hands of the elite, and the people being pushed around like so many flocks of sheep and herds of cows on their way to the slaughterhouse.
The Romans were ferociously militaristic; in fact Rome might be described as nothing but a machine for waging perpetual war. Nearly all of the Romans’ energy was given over to conquest in an endless cycle of wars, or squabbling over the plunder, or savagely fighting amongst themselves to see who would emerge as top dog. In a sense, the Senate was more like a military council, organizing the means for war without end.
The Roman state was a well-oiled military machine and most of the male citizenry served in the army for long tours of duty. Enormous amounts of plunder returned to Rome, keeping the economy buoyant. Food poured in from the conquered territories. Prisoners of war were forced into slavery, and they performed the majority of menial tasks. Some of these prisoners were dragooned into becoming gladiators and then compelled to fight to the death for the entertainment of the masses. Some were thrown to dogs, lions, bears and boars as an alternative form of entertainment. Roman generals liked to bring back exotic animals from the faraway lands they had conquered, and then display them for the mob’s entertainment, usually by having them eat slaves alive. (Famously, Christians were amongst those thrown to the lions.) And chariot racing at the Circus Maximus was always popular, accompanied by gambling, heavy drinking and sometimes lethal violence between supporters of different chariot teams, most notoriously the “blues” and “greens”.
In the modern day, we have the “Pop Idol” and “X-Factor” auditions as our version of having victims eaten alive in public. No one gets killed, but the same savage instinct to see people destroyed is still there, as strong as ever. No decent person would watch these shows, just as no decent person would have gone to the Coliseum to see human beings being torn to pieces in the name of entertainment. It’s extraordinary how many TV shows are fantastically cruel. They love mocking and jeering at ordinary people, humiliating them and destroying their dreams. From the carnage, a few puppets with pretty faces, mediocre talent, no personalities and nothing to say will be launched to fame and fortune. These are the “darlings of the mob” (and of their OWO controllers). The billionaire media moguls of the Old World Order love serving up this mindless shit to people. It keeps the people dumbed down, and it maintains cruelty at the heart of the body politic. The OWO are terrified of talent, justice and respect being at the heart of our culture because that would signal their own demise. They are creatures of hate that prosper most when hate is maximized (especially in wars, which they are always keen to wage).
As for the Circus Maximus, we now have plenty of sports to fill that gap. Sport should be a reflection of human excellence, but it’s increasingly just a cynical exercise in corporate branding, mass marketing and ultra-capitalism. The stars are ridiculously overpaid. Their faces are plastered on billboards all over the world. They are part of the “star economy” that gives enormous riches to a lucky few while screwing over everyone else. The OWO stand behind most sporting “franchises”. They relentlessly exploit people’s obsessive support for their favourite team. You can get credit cards bearing the badge of your special team…and you pay extra for the privilege. What do credit cards have to do with sport? Why do people fall for this nonsense? Many people approach sport with an almost religious fervour. That shows you how far true spirituality has fallen by the wayside.
Many men, week after week, sit around drinking beers, discussing “the game”. They have an encyclopaedic knowledge of all the statistics relating to their team for the last fifty years. Yet ask them about anything important and they will stare at you blankly, or as if you’re a lunatic. The amount of energy they devote to becoming experts in trivia is remarkable, as is the lack of energy they expend on doing anything significant with their lives.
The ordinary citizens of ancient Rome were anonymous and had little to occupy them. Some were shopkeepers, some were artisans, some were bodyguards, minor officials, and so on. Many didn’t have meaningful jobs since the slaves performed most of the basic tasks. Hence arose the Roman policy of panem et circenses – “bread and circuses”. As long as the Senate could feed the masses and keep them entertained, the Roman “mob” was reasonably easy to control.
Now the Elite have TV, cinema, video games, iPhones, iPads, iTunes to keep the masses entertained and preoccupied, and junk food to keep them bloated and immobile. The “mob” have never been so easy to control, and they actually pay the Elite for the privilege of being controlled.
The song “Perfect Game” by The Thompson Twins has lyrics that are all too appropriate:
They don’t know what to call us
Because we don’t have a name
But they still know how to force us
To keep playing the perfect game
So if you want to find out why you call someone insane
Just sit inside the building where they’re playing the perfect game
Isn’t it time for a new game? Let’s make the Elite the prancing clowns. We’ve danced to their tune too long. Enough muzak. It’s time for the rebirth of music. It’s time for the Soundtrack of the Revolution.

Optimates versus Populares:
The nobility of ancient Rome were referred to as patricians and the commoners as plebeians (“plebs”). The plebeians sought better treatment and enhanced rights from the patricians, but it was always a struggle to win any concessions. Without credible political representation, the plebeians had little chance of gaining a true voice in the Roman Republic.
To try to improve their lot, the plebeians on several occasions carried out an act of mass protest, similar to a general strike. Each time, they abandoned the city en masse in an act known as a Secessio Plebis (Secession of the Plebs; withdrawal of the commoners) and left the patricians to themselves.
All shops and workshops closed, and all commerce in the city halted. On one occasion, the pleb soldiers refused to fight for the patricians. On another occasion, the plebs threatened to build a new city, free of the nobility. The patricians were forced to come to terms and offer political powers to the plebeians.
Isn’t it time for a modern Secessio Plebis to show the Elite who’s really in charge? The word veto is Latin for “I forbid”. Shouldn’t we forbid the ever-widening gap between the rich and poor? The people can change everything at any time of their choosing, just as the Roman plebs did by going on general strike.
The plebeians were permitted to elect ten political representatives called tribunes (from the Latin tribus = tribe) who were empowered to convene the Plebeian Council (People’s Assembly), act as its president, and propose legislation. It was illegal for patricians to do tribunes any harm; their lives were sacrosanct because they were regarded as the personal embodiment of the plebeians. They had the power of veto in many matters, and were entitled to intervene legally on behalf of plebeians. A tribune had the right to summon the Senate and submit policies for consideration. It was illegal for any patrician to serve as a tribune.
In the 2nd century BCE, two remarkable brothers, Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus (known as the Gracchi) were elected as tribunes of the plebs and used their power in an unprecedented way to challenge the Elite. Roman politics was changed forever.
Certain issues such as who had the right to become a citizen and how and where land and property should be allocated to citizens were becoming causes of increasing tension between patricians and plebeians, and the Gracchi became the vox populi – the voice of the people – demanding radical reform. The stage was set for an almighty political showdown.
Thanks to the Gracchi, a political movement emerged known as the Populares (“favouring the people”; the Popular Party). They wished to curb the power of the patrician Senate, and enhance the rights and livings conditions of the people. Leaders of the Populares movement were known as populists or “demagogues” (leaders of the people). In general, they campaigned for the extension of citizenship to provincials, for cancellation of debts where they had become extortionate, and for the fair distribution of land and property.
The political faction that opposed them was called the Optimates (“Best Men”). They were also known as Boni: “Good Men”. The Optimates were the establishment party, the advocates of firm, patrician, Senatorial rule. They were conservatives, defending the traditions of Rome and the existing ruling order. They strove to maintain the power and privileges of the Elite and limit the power of the people. They exercised their power through the Senate. This was just the Roman version of the Washington D.C. political establishment. It is perhaps unsurprising that America has its own patrician Senate, with the plebs having the House of Representatives. In the UK, there is a patrician House of Lords (unelected) and a House of Commons. Labels such as “Lords” and “Commons” shows how anachronistic, absurd, divisive and elitist British politics remains.
The Optimates promoted the interests of the “nobiles” (noble families i.e. the typical OWO dynastic families of privilege and power) and fought hard to hold back the rise of novi homines (“new men”, often from the provinces and outwith the Roman nobility, and often advocates of the People’s Party). The most famous and talented novus homo was Cicero, the first of his family to enter the Senate, and who, ironically, chose to be on the Optimates’ side. He ingratiated himself with them by the simple tactic of always taking their side. This won him their support, but they never liked or trusted him. He was always an outsider; “not one of us” – lower class, unrefined, lacking patrician taste and manners, despite the brilliance of his mind.
The Optimates sought to restrict the extension of Roman citizenship and to preserve the ancient traditions of their forefathers. They strove always to uphold the oligarchy of the noble families. They dominated the Senate and acted as a continual block on social reform. They particularly feared popular generals who enjoyed the support of both the people and the army.
The members of both political factions belonged to the wealthier classes; no ordinary people ever had any power in Rome; no plebeian without influential connections ever served in the Senate or in formal government. No plebeian without influential connections had the benefit of an education.
Members of branches of patrician families that had fallen on hard times and lost their status were regarded as plebeian by the snobs of the nobility, but such “plebeian” families had nothing in common with the masses of true plebeians i.e. all the common people living in slums. Often, these plebeian “nobles” were determined to regain former glories. They turned to the people for support since they certainly wouldn’t get if from the established nobility.
At the zenith of the Optimates’ power, the dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla posted throughout Rome long lists of Populares to be executed. The named individuals were stopped on sight and summarily put to death. This was true terror – having to check lists of the condemned to see if your name was on there, knowing that you could be killed instantly if it was.
__________
Caesar:
Julius Caesar was a member of one of Rome’s oldest and most respectable noble families, yet he championed the Populares’ political faction. He was opposed by Pompey the Great, a novus homo, who fought on behalf of the Senate and the Optimates.
Behind his public mask, Caesar had complete contempt for plebeians, but nevertheless continually courted their support against the Senate. To achieve his goal of becoming the supreme leader of Rome – a king or emperor – he had to smash the power of the Senate, hence he cynically exploited the plebeians. He was assassinated by a combination of Optimates defending the interests of the Senate and the nobility, and Populares, who foresaw that Caesar would become a tyrant and an enemy of the people.
The civil war that followed Caesar’s death led to the end of the Roman Republic and the creation of the Roman Empire under the first emperor, Octavian (Augustus Caesar), nephew and heir of Julius Caesar. Imperial succession then followed on a mostly hereditary basis, although eventually rival generals fought it out for the crown.
Caesar, a patrician, was no supporter of the lower classes, but he was prepared to use them to advance his own personal cause. Likewise, many Roman politicians appealed to whatever constituency served their interests at a particular time. They had no principles or political ideology. Self-interest was their only guide.
It has been said by historians that the clashes between the Populares and Optimates were nothing whatever to do with political stances and concerned only raw power. A patrician who had no interest in the people would nevertheless pander to them if it were politically expedient (just like today!).
The Roman patricians were infamously devoted to power. The entire Roman culture was brutally militaristic and power driven. Imagine America being run by hundreds of vigorous, ambitious, ruthless, battle-hardened generals in the prime of life rather than soft, decrepit politicians, and you will get a flavour of the savage power politics of ancient Rome. Politics was conducted like war. The ends always justified the means. Victory was everything. It didn’t matter how it was achieved. Bribery, corruption, blackmail, and assassination were all perfectly acceptable. After all, if you won and then ordered the execution of all of your rivals for treason, who would oppose you? Since money bought power, the Roman Elite were infamous for their corruption (just like the modern politicians of nations like America and Britain).
Jugurtha, King of Numidia (Algeria) said of Rome’s fatal weakness for money, “Urbem venalem et mature perituram, si emptorem invenerit”: “The city’s life is for sale, and it would kill itself if it could find a buyer.”
Doesn’t that sound like Wall Street, Washington D.C. or Hollywood? Ancient Rome has been reincarnated in America.
__________
The Gracchi:
The Gracchus brothers, Tiberius and Gaius, were the first prominent Romans to be recruited by the Illuminati, and, as Latin speakers, were the first to actually use the term “Illuminati”. As the star of Rome ascended and Latin became the language of Europe, this became the permanent name of the secret society.
It was with the Gracchi that the Populares, the People’s Party, began. Unlike many others who jumped on the bandwagon, seeing an opportunity for self-advancement, the Gracchi genuinely wanted to bring about radical reforms on behalf of the ordinary people, and to smash the power of the ruling Elite. They paid with their lives.
The Gracchi were born to a plebeian branch of an old and noble family. Their ambitious mother wanted them to have the best possible education, and put them in the hands of the finest Greek tutors (the Greeks were the best and most knowledgeable teachers of the time, and many were brought to Rome). The tutors taught Tiberius and Gaius philosophy, science, mathematics, astronomy, logic, oratory, history and political science (particularly the ideas of Plato, Aristotle and Athenian democracy). One of the tutors was a member of the Illuminati, and it was he who recruited the brothers, seeing that they were individuals of exceptional ability who could literally change the course of Rome and the world.
Plutarch, an ancient Greek historian with strong links to the Illuminati, said, “These boys were brought up with such care and such ambitious hopes by their mother, that though they were without dispute in terms of their natural gifts the first among the Romans of their time, yet they seemed to owe their virtues even more to their education than to their birth.”
Plutarch described the similarities and differences between the two remarkable brothers: “We notice that the figures of Castor and Pollux, as they are represented in sculpture and painting, show certain differences in their physique, as between the boxer and the runner. In the same way with these two young Romans; in spite of their strong resemblance to one another in courage and self-discipline as well as in generosity, eloquence, and greatness of mind, yet in their actions and administrations of public affairs, a considerable variation showed itself…Tiberius was gentle and composed, alike in his cast of features, expression and demeanour, whereas Gaius was earnest, highly strung and impassioned. And so in their public speeches to the people, Tiberius spoke in a quiet, orderly manner, standing throughout on the same spot; whereas Gaius would walk about on the hustings, and in the heat of his orations pull his gown off his shoulders, and was the first of all the Romans that used such gestures…Gaius’s oratory tended to electrify his audience, making everything tell to the utmost, whereas Tiberius was more conciliatory and appealed to men’s sense of pity…The same difference that appeared in their speaking styles was observable also in their characters. Tiberius was mild and reasonable, Gaius rough and passionate, to the degree that, often, in the midst of speaking, he was so hurried away by his passion, against his judgment, that his voice lost its tone, and he lapsed into abuse, spoiling his whole speech. As a remedy to this excess, he made use of an ingenious aide of his, one Licinius, who stood constantly behind him with a sort of pitch-pipe, or instrument to regulate the voice by, and whenever he perceived Gaius’s tone alter and break with anger, he struck a soft note with his pipe, on hearing which Gaius immediately checked the vehemence of his passion, and his voice, grew quieter, and allowed himself to be recalled to temper. Such are the differences between the two brothers; but their valour in war against their country’s enemies, their justice in the government of its subjects, their care and industry in office, and their self-command in all that regarded their pleasures, were equally remarkable in both.”
The Gracchus brothers, like all Roman men, were well trained in martial matters. They became renowned for their horsemanship and combat skill, outshining their peers. Tiberius, the older brother, earned fame for his courage and daring by being the first to scale the walls of Carthage in Rome’s final campaign against that city. On another occasion he used his diplomacy skills and personal charisma to save an army of 20,000 men that had been cut off and threatened with extermination.
The boys, linked as they were to a noble family, and now with big reputations as rising stars of the army, were looked upon favourably by the ruling elite. If they had played the usual game, they would have allied themselves to the Optimates and enjoyed lives of privilege. Instead, they remained true to the principles of the Illuminati and campaigned on behalf of the people. Land reform was their main angle of attack. They wanted to take away the excessive amounts of land that the elite had acquired and to distribute it amongst the plebeians (just as the present-day Illuminati want to strip the Elite of their excessive wealth and invest it instead in the people). Naturally, they generated a whirlwind of opposition, ultimately costing them their lives despite some early successes.
The brothers, so well taught by the Greeks, were able to make incendiary speeches that gripped their audiences and roused them from their apathy. They were inspired orators, brilliantly persuasive, who knew how to deliver well-crafted speeches in the grand Greek style, and which Romans always found so impressive in comparison with their plainer, more functional speeches.
The Gracchi were fiercely opposed to the increasing trend of rich landowners pushing plebeians off their farms and into economic ruin. (The same type of thing happened in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries, in the forced expulsions of people from their land to make way for more profitable sheep, known to history as the “Highland Clearances”. Many of these displaced people made their way to America and Canada.) The plebeians ended up in the Roman slums, idle and having to accept handouts due to lack of paid work in a slave based economy.
An old law that the Senate had conveniently chosen to ignore specifically limited the amount of land that any single individual could own. By invoking this law, Tiberius had the ancient traditions of Rome on his side, and legal right. He established a commission to redistribute land holdings from patricians to plebeians. But the patrician landowners were furious that their lands were being confiscated.
Plutarch described the volatile situation, and the sleazy tactics adopted by the rich: “However, Tiberius did not draw up his law without the advice and assistance of those citizens that were then most eminent for their virtue and authority; amongst whom were Crassus, the high-priest, Mucius Scaevola, the lawyer, who at that time was consul, and Claudius Appius, his father-in-law. Never did any law appear more moderate and gentle, especially being enacted against such great oppression and avarice. For they who ought to have been severely punished for transgressing the former laws, and should at least have lost all their titles to such lands which they had unjustly usurped, were notwithstanding to receive a price for quitting their unlawful claims, and giving up their lands to those fit owners who stood in need of help. But though this reformation was managed with so much tenderness that, all the former transactions being passed over, the people were only thankful to prevent abuses of the like nature for the future, yet, on the other hand, the moneyed men, and those of great estates, were exasperated, through their covetous feelings against the law itself, and against the lawgiver, through anger and party-spirit. They therefore endeavoured to seduce the people, declaring that Tiberius was designing a general redivision of lands, to overthrow the government, and cut all things into confusion.”
(Here we hear the usual “conspiracy theory” accusations that have followed the Illuminati throughout history. The accusers are always the Elite. They have always been terrified of the Illuminati’s New World Order that would sweep away their power. All those who are opposed to the NWO are puppets of the Elite.)
“But they had no success. For Tiberius, maintaining an honourable and just cause, and possessed of eloquence sufficient to have made a less credible action appear plausible, was no safe or easy antagonist, when, with the people crowding around the hustings, he took his place, and spoke on behalf of the poor. ‘The savage beasts that roam over Italy,’ he said, ‘have their dens and holes to lurk in; but the men who fight and die for our country enjoy the common air and light and nothing else. It is their lot to wander with their wives and children, houseless and homeless over the face of the earth.’ He told them that their commanders were guilty of lies and mockery, when, at the head of their armies, they exhorted the common soldiers to fight for their ancestors’ tombs and altars; when not any amongst so many Romans is possessed of either altar or monument, neither have they any houses of their own, or hearths of their ancestors to defend. They fought indeed and were slain, but it was to maintain the luxury and the wealth of other men. They were styled the masters of the world, but in the meantime had not one foot of ground which they could call their own. A harangue of this nature, spoken to an enthusiastic and sympathizing audience, by a person of commanding spirit and genuine feelings, no adversaries at that time were competent to oppose.
“Forbearing, therefore, all discussion and debate, the patricians addressed themselves to Marcus Octavius, his fellow-tribune, who being a young man of a steady, orderly character, and an intimate friend of Tiberius, upon this account declined at first the task of opposing him; but at length, over-persuaded with the repeated importunities of numerous considerable persons, he was prevailed upon to do so, and hindered the passing of the law; it being the rule that any tribune has a power to hinder an act, and that all the rest can effect nothing, if only one of them dissents. Tiberius, irritated at these proceedings, presently laid aside this milder bill, but at the same time preferred another; which, as it was more gratifying to the common people, so it was much more severe against the wrongdoers, commanding them to make an immediate surrender of all lands which, contrary to former laws, had come into their possession.”
The situation became increasingly tense and dangerous. Finally, Tiberius was accused of trying to make himself king. His enemies in the Senate pronounced him a tyrant and demanded emergency powers to deal with him. Some of them took armed thugs with them to confront Tiberius and his supporters. Tiberius and around 300 of those with him were savagely clubbed to death. Tiberius’s murderer was one of his fellow tribunes, a plebeian like himself. (It’s always the same story: the rich can always find traitors amongst the people who will do their dirty work for them.) This was the first occasion since the time of the kings that blood had been openly shed in Roman politics. The bodies of the dead, including Tiberius, were denied decent burial and callously dumped in the River Tiber.
Several years later, younger brother Gaius took up where his brother had left off. He was under no illusions about his likely fate. He told a story that his brother had appeared to him in a dream and said, “Why do you hesitate, Gaius? There is no escape. Fate has decreed the same destiny for us both, to live and die in the service of the people.”
He was bitter towards all those who had failed to stand with his brother. He said, “But you stood by and watched while these men beat Tiberius to death with clubs, and while his dead body was dragged through the midst of the city to be thrown into the Tiber. And afterwards those of his friends who were caught were put to death without a trial.”
But his passion for justice drove him on. As well as reviving land reform, he fixed grain prices to prevent profiteering and granted improvements in the rights of citizenship for those non-Roman Italians in the territories around Rome, who had previously been denied significant rights.
However, many plebeians were angry that non-Romans were being treated on a par with them, and turned against Gaius. Immediately, Gaius’s powerful enemies in the Senate seized the moment to crush him. 3,000 of Gaius’s supporters were killed in the fighting and in summary executions afterwards. As for Gaius himself, he committed suicide in the traditional manner of a defeated Roman soldier by falling on his sword. His enemies beheaded him and stuck his head on the point of a spear.
As before, the bodies of the dead were tossed into the Tiber, and their property was sold and the proceeds seized by the Senate. Their wives were forbidden to wear mourning clothes in public.
The Senator who was behind the plot against Gaius that had led to so much violence on the street of Rome, built, in a grotesquely nauseating act of hypocrisy and triumphalism, the Temple of Concord. An outraged citizen carved on it: “This Temple of Concord is the work of mad Discord.”
After this, the Illuminati withdrew from Roman politics and over the following centuries concentrated on Roman religion – specifically Mithraism, which was a version of Illuminism. Tragically, Illuminist Mithraism was swept away by the Jewish Messianic Mithraism of St Paul: the appalling religion known to the world as Christianity.
******
The conflict between Populares and Optimates raged on, but the Gracchi were replaced, on the whole, by unscrupulous demagogues rather than men of principle. The struggle ended with the assassination of Caesar (ostensibly one of the Populares but really a man who would be king), and the consequent birth of imperial Rome in the aftermath of the civil war that followed Caesar’s death.
History has judged the Gracchus brothers to have been blinded by unrealistic idealism, and deaf to the base notes of human nature. They struggled to understand how corrupt and selfish Romans were. Above all, they didn’t comprehend how fickle and unreliable the plebeians were. Most of them refused to stand and fight. Most of them could be bought off. Most of them had no principles. So what’s new?
The Gracchi retain a position of immense honour in the history of the Illuminati. They were exemplary meritocrats. The world is in desperate need of two such brothers again. They were true revolutionaries, and were failed by the people, as happens so often in history. Had they triumphed, world history would have been entirely different. But for any revolutionaries to win, they need the people to stand as one, and the people rarely do. It’s all too easy for the Elite to divide and rule, to make the people split into factions and fight amongst themselves, thus posing no danger to the Elite.
The Gracchi have sometimes been compared with the Kennedy brothers: JFK and RFK – young, dynamic, charismatic, good-looking, from a distinguished family, cut down in their prime after trying to push through reforms antithetical to the interests of the Elite.
The comparison is rather stretched. The Kennedys were members of the Old World Order, albeit outsiders by virtue of being Catholics in a WASP-controlled nation, but nevertheless, they were fervent capitalists, militarists, anti-Communists, pro-rich i.e. typical OWO members. However, they did begin to see that genuine reform was necessary, and, within OWO circles, they argued that it was necessary to make concessions to the people to prevent a popular uprising against the Washington D.C. Establishment that would probably be led by African-American radicals.
The OWO old guard, ultra conservatives, hated such talk, and took the necessary steps to silence the Kennedys. Even so, the Kennedy agenda prevailed, and reforms were introduced, though not of a sufficiently transformative nature to bring about meaningful change.
The Kennedys will always retain an ambiguous reputation: far too closely linked with power, wealth and privilege, but smart enough to try to help ordinary people, albeit in limited fashion.

Spartacus:
Spartacus was a great hero in the war against the Elite. He led a slave uprising against Rome that shook the Republic to its core. He stood for the oppressed against the slave-owning patricians, for justice for the downtrodden, for freedom against tyranny.
After winning several spectacular victories, his rebellion was finally crushed with ferocious violence. Tens of thousands of slaves died in the last battle, including, it is thought, Spartacus himself, though his body was never identified.
6,000 captured rebels were crucified along either side of the Appian Way leading to Rome.
Although he had no connection with the Illuminati, Spartacus was greatly admired by the Order, to the extent that Grand Master Adam Weishaupt chose to be known as “Brother Spartacus” within the Order. Those absurd people who consider Weishaupt a secret member of the Elite must find it somewhat perplexing that he chose for himself the name of a slave who wanted to destroy the evil rulers of the world.
Adam Weishaupt was in fact the most revolutionary of all the Grand Masters of the Illuminati and detested the Elite to the point of obsession. He it was who coordinated all of the Illuminati’s actions throughout both the American and French Revolutions. He was hardline and uncompromising. It was Weishaupt who encouraged the Jacobin leaders in France to implement the “Terror” to eradicate aristocrats and counter-revolutionaries. He argued that a sign had to be sent to the whole world that the Elite were not indestructible, that they were mortals who could be struck down just as easily as they themselves normally struck down the ordinary people. Weishaupt frequently pointed out how the Gracchus brothers were assassinated without hesitation by the Elite, and the followers of Spartacus were exterminated. Why were the Elite never condemned for their savagery, for the “Terror” they inflicted on the people as a matter of course, and with total impunity? The people had to show that they would treat the Elite exactly as the Elite treated them. Only then would the Elite learn their lesson.
Weishaupt’s stance remains very controversial within the Illuminati. Some have argued that he went too far. Others, that the Elite had to be taught a lesson they would never forget.

Academia Iluministă (35)
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.

The Illuminati Series – Book 1/6:
Blurb:
“Neither by land nor by sea shalt thou find the road to the Hyperboreans.” –Pindar
No secret society is more controversial than the Illuminati, yet almost nothing of the truth of this mysterious ancient Order is available in the public record. Propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, paranoia and downright fantasy are rife. Some have even described the Illuminati as pan-dimensional, shape-shifting Reptilians from another world!
The Illuminati have become the peg upon which anyone can hang their favourite and most outlandish conspiracy theories. They are the “men behind the curtain”, the “ultimate puppet-masters”, fascists, communists, bankers, Jews, monarchists, anti-monarchists, lizards, you name it. They support “big” government, high taxes and the sinister New World Order, based on a single global currency. They want to build death camps and reduce the world’s population to one billion souls.
So much for the penny-dreadful nonsense churned out by the simple minded pied pipers of Conspiracy World.
The truth of the real Illuminati is enormously more fascinating. The present Grand Master of the Illuminati has authorized the release into the public arena, for the very first time, of the facts concerning the ancient Order.
Now you can discover for yourself the extraordinary nature of this secret society, its esoteric Gnostic and Hermetic religion known as Illumination, and how it represents the greatest hope for humanity in overthrowing the Devil-worshiping Abrahamic religions and the Old World Order of elite, dynastic families of privilege that run the planet, such as the Bush family, the Rothschilds and the British royal family.
It’s time to build a meritocratic world, a world free of privilege and religious brainwashing, a world where the super-rich are brought down to earth.
It’s time for a New World Order where humanity can devote itself to its true purpose: creating a Community of Gods, a Society of the Divine. Don’t you want to join the greatest adventure in human history? The Illuminati offer nothing less than ultimate transformation, and the truth concerning the supreme object of humanity’s spiritual quest – the Holy Grail itself.

A Book Review:
“Another excellent book from a series of excellent books by the Pythagorean Illuminati. The Pythagorean Illuminati are an ancient secret society of rational free thinkers. Some of the most creative geniuses in history have been members of the Illuminati such as: Plato, Hegel, Goethe, Leibniz, Weishaupt, Simon Magus, Hypatia, and many others. The Illuminati are Meritocrats and Gnostics. They are trying to change this world from the hell that it is for so many people on this planet to a much more equal, just, altruistic, and rational place for EVERYONE. How that goal can sound like a wicked thing to so many people just shows how far the people in this world have descended into selfishness, irrationality, madness, and lets just be honest, evil.
All of the books by the Illuminati contain information from many interesting and challenging subjects. The Illuminati have integrated mathematics, science, psychology, history, politics, sociology, religion, philosophy, and the paranormal into what scientists have been searching for years: A Grand Unified Theory of Everything. Every book is very well written. The authors have passion for what they are writing and that passion rubs off on the reader. You will constantly find yourself wanting to read just one more page. Some of the content in the Illuminati’s books can be intellectually challenging but the authors are so talented and understand their subject material so well that they make the information understandable to everyone.
The Illuminati are serious people who want to change the world. The books they write are meant for other serious people with a burning desire for a better world for all. If you are not looking to help build a more rational, and just world then read something else. If, on the other hand, a better world is something you can’t stop thinking about then these are your books. If you feel drawn towards the ideas of the Illuminati, then you need to read all of these books asap. You should also check out the Illuminati’s website www.armageddonconspiracy.c
Some of the reviews for this book make me laugh and then sigh. On the book description the Illuminati tell certain people not to read these books. They specifically tell conspiracy theorists and abrahamists to read something else yet inevitably conspiracy theorists and abrahamists read the books and become angered. They then get so mad that they have to jump on Amazon and give an angry review. Why do these people waste their time reading something they hate? It makes no sense to me. I especially love the reviews of this book by Spazmonkey, Tracy Manning, and Higheyecue “Visionary”. The reviews from these three people are completely ridiculous and should be ignored.
This book gives an excellent overview of the philosophy of the Illuminati. It is the perfect book to begin your journey into the most amazing and unique information imaginable. People just starting to read these books have to understand that if they want to get the most out of the Illuminati’s work then they should read all of the books. The philosophy of the Illuminati is not something you can grasp in one book. The Illuminati are in the process of explaining nothing less than life’s greatest mysteries. You can’t explain the most important issues in life in 150 pages. So far these three authors have written over 8,000,000 words describing the most crucial information imaginable and have offered almost all of it for free via their website. I can’t believe that everyone in the world isn’t reading these books. It’s even more shocking to me that many of the people who are reading these books are giving them bad reviews. The Illuminati may not be saying what you want to hear but that doesn’t change the fact that they speak the truth. How do you give the truth a bad review? It’s insane.” –BG

This is a hybrid, a dialectical synthesis, of capitalism (thesis) and socialism (antithesis), preserving what is best in each and discarding the rest. The economic macrostructure – by which we mean banks, stock markets and regulatory bodies – are all controlled by expert, meritocratic, publicly accountable officials who will be dismissed without compensation for poor performance, and who will never receive outrageously disproportionate bonuses simply for doing their job. They will be rewarded for providing stable growth. The economic microstructure will be capitalist – individuals and collectives can set up businesses and trade without State interference. There will be competition, profits, markets, choice and everything that is good about capitalism, with none of the downsides. The State Bank, not private banks, will lend to businesses.
This new form of social capitalism will ensure that no capitalist individuals ever become so rich that they can dictate to governments. We will not be ruled by banks or capitalist corporations that are outside the political system and unaccountable to the people and that can leave the country if they so wish. We will be ruled only by officials who can be fired by the people if they do a bad job.
Just as it would be insane to entrust the defence of a nation to private armies with their own agendas (they would start wars to boost their share price!), it’s insane to entrust the economic defence and stability of a nation to private banks and corporations with their own private agendas that have nothing to do with the welfare of the State and the people. That’s why the infrastructure of the State must be socialist (for the people) rather than capitalist (for private individuals).
We are not communists. We are rational capitalists who appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of both capitalism and socialism and see how they can be integrated in a natural and highly productive way. This is an economic evolution, not revolution.
There will be no more vast multinational corporations that blackmail governments: all corporations and companies will be small or medium sized; they will be bespoke and integrated with their communities and nations, working in harmony with the State to bring prosperity to all of the people.
There will be no more casino banking, banks that are “too big to fail”, hedge funds, “shorting”, and speculative financial derivatives instruments . There will be no more psychopathic spivs and speculators driving the economy into the ground in pursuit of higher profits and bonuses for themselves. We will thus bring to an end the insane cycles of boom and bust that characterise free-market capitalism and which devastate the lives of so many innocent victims.
We will replace the “testosterone” modus operandi of free-market capitalism with the “oestrogen” of social capitalism i.e. women rather than aggressive young men will become far more prominent. We will seed society with metaphorical “oxytocin” – the Moral Molecule – that increases bonding, harmony and community. At the moment we have a testosterone society given over to selfishness, self-interest and ruthless competition between families and individuals as they all fight to be top dog.
Testosterone has had a good run for its money. Now it’s time for an oestrogen and oxytocin society without boom and bust, without aggression, without savage, destructive competition.
You want a new society, a new economy? – meritocratic social capitalism delivers everything you want. It ends boom and bust. It ends the rule of elite, dynastic families of extreme privilege who rig the game of life in their own favour. Everyone, regardless of sex, race, sexual orientation or background gets an equal opportunity.
Consider these two questions:
1) Is it rational for a political process to elect “leaders” who have no actual power because all of the real power resides with external super rich individuals, banks and corporations that can use their wealth and power to buy the political system and enforce their will? Can anyone deny that banks, corporations and the super rich tell Presidents what to do? If the President is the embodiment of the will of the people, it means that unelected and unaccountable banks, corporations and super rich individuals are telling the people what to do. That’s what democracy has delivered: a system in which the people get to choose a powerless figurehead who simply does what the non-elected, unaccountable elite decide. Therefore democracy must be abolished. No political system supposedly operating in the interest of all the people can be subject to external influence by groups and individuals that have no interest at all in the well-being of the people. Is Wall Street on the side of Main Street? You’d need to be insane to think so. Who shapes government policy – Wall Street or Main Street? Is there any question? Which institution has its fingers in every pie all across the world? – the Zionist-Masonic leviathan of Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs runs the world. Haven’t you realised that yet? Solution? – CLOSE DOWN GOLDMAN SACHS AND BAN ALL OF ITS OFFICIALS FROM SERVING IN GOVERNMENT. Simple!
2) Is it rational for dynastic families – such as the Rothschilds – to be able to use their incredible wealth and power to dictate the shape of the world generation after generation, and always in their own favour? Why should a rich family of today be allowed to determine the fortunes and prospects of the families of the future? How do you prevent a rich and powerful family from arranging the future to suit itself i.e. to guarantee its descendants a luxury life regardless of merit? You can stop the super rich controlling the future once and for all by introducing 100% inheritance tax. This automatically means the end of dynastic family rule. It means the end of privilege and the rise of equal opportunities and a world of merit.
Isn’t it time to join the meritocratic movement of social capitalism and equal opportunities? This is a real political movement with actual solutions for the ills of the world. Don’t protest mindlessly against the ruling regime. REPLACE THEM. Meritocratic social capitalism will inevitably replace democratic free-market capitalism. Meritocratic social capitalism is the dialectical successor of democratic free-market capitalism. The Old World Order has had its day. It has hit the dialectical buffers. Now it’s time for the New World Order based on merit, social justice and equal opportunities.
Bring the rule of the rich bankers to an end.
Bring the rule of the global corporations to an end.
Bring the rule of democratic puppet politicians in the paid service of the elite to an end. Bring the rule of dynastic families of privilege to an end.
MERITOCRATIC SOCIAL CAPITALSIM – THE DIALECTICAL FUTURE.
Why do you allow 1% of the people to control 33-42% of the wealth? Are you the biggest suckers of all time? How can you stand any reasonable chance in life if 1% of the people have gathered approaching half of the nation’s resources for themselves? All of those resources are not accessible to you and in fact are designed to perpetuate the wealth and power of the 1% i.e. they are an active weapon being used against you.
The elite don’t care about you. They have no interest in your welfare. They don’t want you to succeed. They don’t want anyone anywhere to challenge their hegemony. They have used religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam to make the people slaves, to keep them terrified and on their knees. What is the concept of hell if not a terrorist tactic to terrify superstitious and stupid people into submission? Islam means submission. To be a Muslim is to declare yourself a slave of God. What sort of sick person imagines that God is a slavemaster or that he’s interested in sending people to perpetual hell? God is reason, well-being and health. He’s not some sick fuck psychopath who wants people bowing to him and perpetually terrified of him. He doesn’t order fathers to kill their children as Jehovah/Allah ordered Abraham. Everyone who bows to “God” is a slave.
It’s time for humanity to escape the Age of Slavery; the Age of Abrahamism. Judaeo- Christianity goes hand-in-hand with democratic free-market capitalism.
We are advocates of the dialectic of freedom and choice. We are opposed to those who use money as a weapon to advance their own interests and damage those of everyone else. Rich parents do not spend a fortune sending their children to elite private schools and colleges because they are interested in YOUR success. They want you to fail. You are designed to fail. That’s why you went to shit schools and had shit teachers. You’re factory fodder.
The elite don’t want trash like you competing with them, so they arrange the whole system to ensure that you can NEVER compete. What’s more, they even get you to agree to being a second class citizen. Well, if you didn’t agree you would be trying to overthrow them, wouldn’t you? Since you’re doing nothing to advance the cause of meritocracy (which means the complete destruction of all systems of privilege, especially private education for the rich elite) then you’re clearly assisting the elite and you agree with them that they should be on the top tier of life while you should be a second-class citizen.
Ultimately, people are treated like shit because they want to be and deserve to be. If they didn’t, they would fight. They’re not fighting ergo they’re content with their lot. Q.E.D.
Get off your ass and start shouting about meritocracy from the rooftops and advocating the one measure that is sure to destroy the rich elite – 100% inheritance tax. Stop the rigged game of life. End the cartels, monopolies and oligopolies. Stop the robber barons and carpetbaggers, the spivs and speculators.
Meritocracy is about turning politics into science, about applying the scientific method to create better and better answers to all social, psychological and political problems. The rich despise science because most of them are hopeless scientifically. Science is not included in “cultural capital”. Science is the subject of true merit because no one can bullshit their way through science, and privileged connections won’t take you far unless you actually know what you’re talking about. A technocratic society run by scientists, mathematicians, technologists and engineers is a disaster for the elite.
__________
100% inheritance tax:
What do the elite fear above all? – having their wealth taken from them. What does 100% inheritance tax achieve? Precisely that – the complete and irrevocable end of dynastic wealth.
Imagine a world in which the rich realised they would lose all of their money and assets to the Commonwealth at their death. They would have to spend, spend, spend, wouldn’t they? A huge amount of cash and assets would be pumped into the economy. Recession would turn into growth and this time there would be no boom and bust economic cycle because there would no longer be any point in the rich seeking to bend every rule in the book to make themselves richer, knowing that all of their money would eventually end up with the Commonwealth.
The world can be changed overnight – just by stopping the rich elite in their tracks. If you really do believe in the 99% versus the 1% then demand the introduction of the tax that guarantees the victory of the 99% percent – 100% INHERITANCE TAX, the bedrock of meritocracy. Anyone who opposes 100% inheritance tax is a friend of privilege and the rich elite. Anyone who opposes 100% inheritance tax is a supporter of a two-tier society where those who can pass on resources are the winners and the rest are losers: permanent second class citizens.
Merit or privilege? Meritocracy or democracy? Free-market capitalism or social capitalism?
IT’S TIME TO CHOOSE.
100% inheritance tax could be combined with a general cancellation of debts. The rich are the creditors and the poor are the debtors. Debt cancellation instantly transfers wealth from the elite to the ordinary people. The rich got us into this crisis so why shouldn’t they pay?
Debt cancellation would lead to the collapse of the banking system and the stock market. Capitalism would become insolvent. GOOD!!!! The State could then take control of the banking sector, the stock market and the corporate sector and start implementing social capitalism. The former elite would no longer have any power, wealth, influence or voice. Isn’t that what we all want? Why were the elite bailed out in 2008 and the ordinary people saddled with huge debts to pay for it? Why are bankrupt banks paying out vast bonuses at the taxpayers’ expense?!
It’s time for the people to take charge of their own destiny. That means having the courage to say “No” to the elite.
On the “Path of Illumination” facebook page, MS said: “Just yesterday I had a discussion with someone about 100% inheritance tax. They started to disagree and said why should an inheritance that I want to pass on to my child be taxed 100% and how am I supposed to ensure that he/she gets what I worked hard for? I offered the solution to teach your child about the business you set up from A to Z. Everything that you learned, make sure he/she learns. That way he’ll have the knowledge, which is more valuable than having the money, and then he can rejuvenate this business that you started and even improve it, rather than giving everything that you worked for to him/her just to have it run into the ground. The perfect rebuttal to the antagonism of the 100% inheritance tax!”
This is an excellent answer, but it also reveals the disturbing selfishness and lack of community spirit of the other individual. The person questioning 100% inheritance tax is only thinking of his own private situation. He doesn’t care about children who aren’t the beneficiaries of rich parents or parents who “worked hard” (whatever that means: no highly paid businessman ever works as hard as a poorly paid coal miner! – in fact, there’s almost an inverse relationship between hard work and how much you get paid). He puts ZERO thought into their welfare. In other words, he has tacitly declared war on them. If he cares nothing about them and wishes to disadvantage them by passing on benefits to his children that are unavailable to other children, why shouldn’t they display equal contempt towards him and have zero consideration towards his welfare and that of his children? In fact, why shouldn’t they make his life hell on earth?
DS said, “When I first read about the tax, I thought ‘Ooh, that’s a bit steep!’ But when I contemplated it, and learned more about the AOI’s vision of a better future, the fairer it looked. Something that occurred to me is that in actual fact, it is already in place in Australia for the little guy anyway! More so, the government squeezes the money out of you BEFORE you die!! I won’t blabber on how (nursing homes, etc.). And the little guy doesn’t fathom the rich person’s world and the astronomical riches they hoard. We are just so used to being screwed by The Powers That Be that we initially mistake it for another way to be screwed. As Captain Picard said in the Star Trek movie: “The economics of our time are somewhat different to yours(ours).”
DS is absolutely right. Anyone who has nothing to pass on has already been subjected to 100% inheritance tax while alive.
People who transmit overwhelming financial advantages to their children are effectively determining the shape of the future and disadvantaging the children of poor parents. No one has any legal or moral right to do harm to others. Every time the super rich hand on vast wealth, they are actively harming everyone who is denied the same access to this wealth. They have therefore committed a crime against those others, just as if they had mugged them or robbed them.
MS said, “I couldn’t agree with you more DS. With the application of the 100% inheritance tax and then social capitalism with meritocracy, things would not only change, but vastly improve. But first as I said in an earlier post, each country (I used America as an example since that’s where I’m from) needs to break free of the OWO debt-based currency and wipe out their deficits so that we can really start fresh. As long as the OWO has each country by the balls with their debt-based currency, nothing will change.”
That’s right again.
As soon as you overcome the OWO’s endless propaganda on behalf of the hereditary transmission of wealth, you realise that’s it’s just another version of the hereditary right to rule of medieval monarchs. Why should the children of the future be subjected to the rule of the children of today’s monarchs (as in the UK)? If people alive today wish to be the subjects of a monarch, that’s their choice – but they cannot choose on behalf of unborn generations too. They have no such right.
The principle of heredity is that the unborn should be subject to the conditions of the present, rather than having the inalienable right to choose for themselves how they wish to run things.
Inheritance is precisely that attempt by some families (the elite) to make themselves perpetually superior. 100% inheritance tax is the absolute remedy to their machinations, the guaranteed way to prevent the elite succeeding in their arrogant and narcissistic ambitions to rule the world in perpetuity.
How can any self-respecting human being object to be judged on their own merits and efforts rather than those of their parents? Honourable men and women should be appalled and insulted that anyone wishes to give them an inheritance that they themselves did not earn.
For an adult, it should be a thing of shame to parasitically profit from the earnings of others, even if those others are your parents. Will you be a permanent appendage of your parents? Can’t you make your own way in life? Are you too feeble, too inept, too untalented to carve your own path in life and prosper from your own efforts?

The Libyan Revolution:
So, a brutal tyrant got what he deserved after being dragged from a sewer pleading for the mercy that he never showed anyone else. A few weeks ago, he was in a luxury palace, but then he took the journey from palace to gutter – shouldn’t the global elite join him? Yet there was something extraordinarily disturbing about the events in Libya. Every Muslim shown on TV – men, women and children – incessantly yelled the cry of all Islamic suicide bombers, the cry of the 9/11 mass murderers: Allahu Akbar! (God is Great). Not once did any of them say anything else.
Why didn’t the freedom fighters who did all the hard work, took all the risks and did all the fighting yell, “WE ARE GREAT!” Where the fuck was “Allah”? Where was his contribution? Why did the fighters attribute victory to Allah and not to themselves? Moreover, by the “logic” of the Libyan revolutionaries, the decades of tyranny they endured were also the will of Allah i.e. he deliberately inflicted misery and cruelty on them. Why, therefore, didn’t they curse Allah during all those long years? Allah can never lose in this game. He is thanked and glorified for victory but never blamed and reviled for defeat. This is a one-way bet. Such a system in which a certain figure is revered in all circumstances is a manifestation of absolute brainwashing.
All Muslims are robotic. There’s no point in talking to them because you already know what they’re going to say. They will simply repeat their Koranic programming over and over again. They won’t say anything radical. They won’t engage in any freethinking. They won’t exercise free speech. They won’t talk about humanism, atheism, agnosticism, skepticism, science, philosophy, enlightenment. All they will ever say, to the point of nausea, is Allahu Akbar, Inshallah (Allah willing) and As-Salamu `Alaykum (Peace be with you.)
The Libyans have got rid of one dictator but not the Cosmic Dictator who stands behind all the rest – Allah. No Muslim can ever be free. Every thought they have, every word that emerges from their mouths, is controlled by the Koran. They read that book constantly and indeed many of them memorise the whole thing. That book is completely internalised by them – it might as well be hard-wired. Every word is ingrained in their minds. They literally cannot think unKoranically. They don’t read other books and thereby have a selection of rival ideas to choose from. They don’t read anything that challenges and mocks the Koran. No, the Koran is sacrosanct and programmed into every fibre of their being. They are mind controlled in every conceivable way. In Christian countries, you can read any amount of criticism of Christianity, but there is NO CRITICISM of the Koran in Islamic countries. The idea of free speech in Islamic countries is a contradiction in terms. If you spoke out against the Koran you would be beheaded as an apostate or infidel. How can the Libyan rebels claim to be free? They don’t know the meaning of the world. Until people in Muslim countries can freely criticise, debate, condemn and joke about the Koran, Mohammed and Allah, no Muslim will EVER be free.
We encourage everyone to read Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, the ultimate dystopian novel. In this astounding novel, Orwell shows how the totalitarian State doesn’t simply want to monitor and control your behaviour, but actually strives to create an impoverished language (“Newspeak”) that makes it impossible for you to think outside the parameters it sets. It wants to create a language that makes the very possibility of thinking subversive thoughts inconceivable. The vocabulary and grammar of the language would be so constrained, so well designed to favour the stance of the dictators, that there would be no words or grammar available to shape a free thought, a subversive idea. You would obey like an automaton because Newspeak would have so conditioned your thoughts that you could not do otherwise. Every thought you were capable of having would be defined beforehand by your mind controllers.
What could be more disturbing than the ability of dictators to shape language itself, to determine what thoughts you were able to think?
But Newspeak has already happened. IT’S THE KORAN! Muslims cannot think outside the Koranic box. Not one Muslim could ever utter the words: FUCK ALLAH! Such a formulation of words is impossible in Islam. All free thinking, skepticism, free choice and free speech is impossible in Islam. This evil religion has succeeded in making itself impregnable. It is the PERFECT brainwashing system because it has literally made criticism impossible. It does so by the 100% control of people’s thoughts, the words they are able to use, the concepts they are able to formulate.
Just as Winston Smith, the protagonist of Nineteen Eighty-Four, ended up agreeing that 2 + 2 = 5, so would any Muslim if that’s what it said in the Koran. After all, if you don’t agree with the Koran you go to hell! Who cares about reason and mathematics?!
Orthodox Judaism is every bit as bad as Islam, of course, as is Christian Fundamentalism. But so is democratic free-market capitalism. There are hundreds of millions of brainwashed Westerners who simply cannot contemplate replacing democracy or free-market capitalism. They have endured endless propaganda by the capitalist media machine to indoctrinate them. They all have the equation freedom = democracy = free speech = choice = free-market capitalism drilled into them and they are incapable of analysing this equation and finding it absurd and false in every way.
THINK! Escape from the Matrix. Challenge every idea. Use your reason. Don’t swallow the brainwashing mantras of the elite.
Meritocracy is about liberating the human mind. There can be no sacred cows. Rather than constraining what you can think, the Meritocratic Movement wants you to be able to think any thought at all – total freedom of the mind. The idea that you should be compelled to read one book over and over again and commit every word to memory is anathema and must be prevented by law. All fanatical religions that brandish “sacred texts” should be illegal. They are brainwashing machines supremely and irrevocably opposed to freedom. All ideas should be challenged, mocked, dissected, joked about. No one should have to hold back because of the religious beliefs of others. If a Christian, Muslim or Jew can’t handle their sacred books being ridiculed, burned, condemned and shown to be irrational garbage, TOO FUCKING BAD!!! We, the Movement of Dialectical Freedom, won’t allow anyone to shape our thoughts and control what we can think. If we hate YOUR gods, we will say so, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Social Types:
Sociologist David Riesman spoke of six sociological types. First, there were the “Adjusted” (those who conform with the norms of society), the “Anomic” (the maladjusted who are at odds with social norms and often criminals or members of the underclass) and the “Autonomous” (those who can adjust to social norms when they desire, but are capable of defining and creating their own identities, regardless of society’s conventions).
Riesman subdivided the “adjusted” category into three further social types:
1) TRADITION-DIRECTED: those who subscribe to ancient ways of doing things because “things have always been done that way”; they are extremely conservative, conformist and respectful of authority; they are usually highly religious – Muslims, Christian Fundamentalists and Orthodox Jews are classic examples of tradition-directed people; these people are usually on the right or even far right of the political spectrum; they are extremely intolerant towards those who don’t share their traditions; the American Republican Party is tradition-directed and committed to “God, family and country”.
2) OTHER-DIRECTED: those who are obsessed with what their peer-group is thinking, with keeping up with the latest fashions and trends; they are terrified of being cast out from their group of friends and will adopt whatever views are adopted by everyone else; they crave the esteem, approval and recognition of their peer group; they are highly susceptible to groupthink and lack authentic individuality; they have no convictions other than that of not being seen as strange and different by others; they are highly flexible and adaptable because they are so uncommitted to any ideological stance (in complete contrast with the tradition-directed); most are liberal, relatively left wing and, in America, typically support the Democratic Party.
3) INNER-DIRECTED: these are the people who adopt their parents’ values – their parents being people of firm convictions that may be at odds with those of their local community or society at large – and use them as an unshakeable moral compass, allowing them to resist the fanatical doctrines of the tradition-directed and the obsessive pursuit of fashion and short-term gratification that characterises the other-directed; they have no clear political stance, but may be more attracted to independent candidates.
******
Are you a Settler, Prospector or Pioneer?
Contemporary sociologists have recast the tradition-, other- and inner-directed types as “Settlers”, “Prospectors” and “Pioneers”.
1) Settlers are the tradition-directed, religious, right-wing, conservative types who blabber on about God, family and country all of the time. They’re obsessed with “morality” (as defined by them, their prophets and holy books). They are highly conformist, conventional and dedicated to finding stability, security and predictability. They are obsessed with “right and wrong”, are wary of change, and have a strong sense of place; they often stay in the same place for their whole lives and have tremendous patriotic feelings. They are rule-bound – because rules provide the regulation of their lives that they crave. Settlers never think for themselves or subscribe to any new, radical ideas. They don’t read books. They are extremely set in their ways and are the primary supporters of “the establishment”. They adopt a “one-size fits all” view. Consider Islam: every Muslim reveres the Koran and no Muslim is capable of thinking in any way other than Koranically. To embrace any other type of thinking would render them no longer Muslim. Islam is a mould that all Muslims get poured into and they emerge as identikit, brainwashed Koranic machines incapable of free thought. If the Settlers had their way, everything would stay the same forever, just as the Muslims secretly want to live forever as seventh-century desert tribesmen, like their prophet Mohammed. The Koran was designed for seventh-century Arabia, so what’s the point of 21st century “truths” if you think God spoke to humanity conclusively and forever in the Koran fourteen centuries ago?
2) Prospectors are other-directed, adaptable liberals who follow fashion and whatever’s “in”. They are not slavish followers of any ancient rules, laws or customs. They can invent new moral codes as they go along, thus outraging the Settlers. Their views, their morals, their beliefs are experimental, fluid and flexible. Everything is forever changing. Prospectors are pragmatic; they want to be winners and definitely to avoid being “a loser”. They will bend rules; everything is acceptable other than “getting caught”. Prospectors, unlike the Settlers, open the door to new ways of doing things, new ideas, new religions and philosophies. They are always sifting for gold and trying to get rich quick. They are explorers, adventurers, experimentalists, those who test and push the boundaries in pursuit of new thrills. They are ambitious, enjoy success, and seek the esteem of others.
3) Pioneers are the inner-directed, with firm values. They want to be authentic and to be “true to themselves”. They are often highly intelligent, creative and unconventional. They have a global and even cosmic perspective. They are innovative, visionary and ethical, valuing community spirit.
Settlers, Prospectors and Pioneers are the three tribes who will decide whether there will be a new society or not. The Settlers will side with the establishment, hence are the enemies of the New Society. At most, they will ask for a few reforms that will soon enough be repudiated by the elite. The Settlers are terrified of anything radically new. Prospectors and Pioneers are the ones who will make the difference.
One group is the eternal enemy of progress – the Settlers. These are the religious fundamentalists, the blinkered fanatics, the right-wing conservatives, the rule-bound supporters of ancient, disproven traditions and religious beliefs. They revere authority. They are natural monarchists. They have a great desire to bow and kneel to higher powers, whether they be kings, presidents, popes or gods. They are pathetic, cowardly submissives, unable to think for themselves or challenge authority. Jews obey 620 completely pointless rules – such as not mixing wool and linen (!) and not switching on electric lights on the Sabbath – because they revere tradition and can’t imagine getting rid of all of this old, rancid, irrational, superstitious junk. What kind of human being conceives of God as someone who cares whether you are wearing something with linen AND wool, or whether you turn on a light? Such a God isn’t worthy of the name. In the humanity of five hundred years from now, Settlers will no longer exist. They will be as extinct as the dinosaurs. They can’t adapt. They are stuck in the past and can’t move forward, so the dialectic will leave them behind and they will fade into oblivion.
What’s our core message? Never kneel to anyone, including “God”. Never bow to anyone. Reject anyone who wants to establish a master-slave relationship with you as the slave. If “God” wants to be your master, fuck God. Never be a Muslim, Jew or Christian. These people are barely human. They are pathetic slaves who regard God as a terrifying monster who threatens people with eternal hellfire. God doesn’t threaten anyone. Why would he? Fuck any “God” who threatens you. He’s the Devil. Respect yourself. Free yourself. Know yourself.
“The way you change things is by getting people behind you, not by huddling together in a righteous and self-congratulatory embrace.” –Anthony Painter
Sociologists have demonstrated that all successful groups rely on “commitment mechanisms”. People must be committed to a cause. It has to become part of their identity. Religions have been extremely successful because they promise their committed believers paradise for compliance and hell for disobedience. The rich have been extremely successful because they deliver wealth and power to those committed to their cause, and poverty and mediocrity for everyone else.
A loose alliance of groups with no agreed stance, with no commitment, can never succeed. They will become bored, restless and drift off.
The protest groups of the world must unite under a single banner. Shouldn’t that banner be Meritocracy? Because of the elite’s brainwashing, you may remain unconvinced by Meritocracy, but ask yourself this – do you want the elite to stay in power, or do you wish to be rid of them? Meritocracy is the only system the world has never tried – precisely because it is supremely rational and dialectical, a smart solution for smart people. Isn’t it time to create the Smart Society of freedom, choice, and reason: the Society of the Enlightened?
******
People are either serious about changing the world, or they’re not. If they are then they must bring about the end of the reign of the super rich and privileged, of monarchs and nobles, of popes and priests, imams and rabbis, of bankers and their puppet politicians.
The Hour of Decision has come. Do you have the courage to change this world, or will you let the elite off the hook yet again?
100% inheritance tax destroys the dynastic elites. It forces the rich to start offloading their assets straight away and to spend big style, thus reinvigorating the global economy. Meritocracy destroys the networks of nepotism and cronyism that turn our world into two tiers, with the 1% on top and the 99% as their abject slaves.
It’s time for a New World.
1776 – the American Revolution
1789 – the French Revolution
1917 – the Russian Revolution
2017 – the GLOBAL REVOLUTION??? THE NEW WORLD ORDER!

Go and see Tarkovsky’s Stalker. Embrace the Light. Walk the Path of Truth, the hardest path of all, the path that all Questers of Enlightenment must take.
The Armageddon Conspiracy.
The Armageddon Conspiracy = the Illuminati’s 21st century coded Arthurian novel
The Armageddon Conspiracy = the Plot to Kill God
Who is “God”? He is Jehovah, Christ, Allah. But he is NOT God (Abraxas). He’s the Devil. Humanity cannot live until the Devil dies.
Saint-Just, the great French Revolutionary and Illuminatus, demanded the death of the tyrant king Louis XVI. Even more so, the tyrant “God” must perish.
No matter how the Abrahamic God cloaks himself, whether in the coat of Judaism, Christianity or Islam, he remains an eternal criminal against which the whole of humanity must take up arms. The Abrahamic God is crime itself. How did he sign his Covenant with Abraham? – by ordering Abraham to murder his own son to show how good a slave he was. Only slaves could ever kneel to this diabolical “God”.
“God” cannot reign innocently, and plainly never has. “God” is a usurper of the Rights of Man. He seeks to strip the human race of its rights and impose his hatred of freedom on us all. He is the quintessential enemy of human freedom and Reason itself. One need only look at the slaves who worship him to see how he degrades, imprisons and makes idiots of the human race.
The Abrahamic God is the essence of evil and the greatest enemy humanity will ever face. There can be no pardon for this monster. This Torture God must reign or die.
Will you join the plot to kill the apex predator that preys on humanity?
Don’t worship God. BECOME GOD! When everyone is part of a Society of the Divine, a Community of Gods, there will be no more human slaves on their knees to an invisible Sky God who exercises his power not through being real but through being imagined to be real. When it comes to religion, perception IS reality.
Do you believe in the Illuminati? We don’t. We ARE the Illuminati.
We are the Lizard Kings.
We are the Mathematikoi.
We are the Coming Race.
We are the HyperHumans.
For the infantile conspiracy theorists, “Illuminati” stands for whoever they don’t like. Are the Illuminati Zionists, Jesuits, Communists, Socialists, Freemasons, Knights Templar, Liberals, Knights Hospitaller, pan-dimensional, shape-shifting, alien lizards, Wall Street bankers, the CEOs who run the corporatocracy, the Washington D. C. WASPs who facilitate the corporatocracy, the super rich who lobby and pay for their own agenda to be foisted on the people, the dynastic families of power and privilege who ensure that their rule stretches down the generations (the Old World Order)?
It’s self-evident who the enemies of the people are: the cabal visibly running the world. There’s nothing hidden or secret about them. They’re right in front of our faces. They are those who run global capitalism, free-market capitalism, consumerism, “freedumb and dumbocracy”, bread and circuses, media propaganda, the security services, those who uphold dynastic property rights, inheritance, privilege, cronyism, nepotism, those who uphold hereditary monarchy, those who support ancient, decrepit, evil religions, those who support greed and selfishness in the name of “liberty”, those who support psychopathy and the relentless manipulation and exploitation of the masses in order to siphon more and more power, wealth and resources into the hands of fewer and fewer people.
These people have nothing to do with the Illuminati. They are the OPPOSITE of the Illuminati. They are the 1% of psychopathic humans who feed on the rest. They are the vampire humans, the insatiable hawks who love nothing more than to feast on doves. Just as turkeys are fattened for Christmas, so are the doves fattened (made morbidly obese) so that the Elite never have to worry about these lumbering, slow-minded morons and slaves.
Get Real. Get Active. Get Going.
Isn’t it time to become ILLUMINATED?!
******
The Movement Rebooted.
The Illuminati are portrayed by conspiracy theorists and Christian and Muslim Fundamentalists as the puppetmasters of the world. The world’s real puppetmasters are self-evident: they are the 80 individuals who own more wealth than half the world’s population. The 80 are the Archons of free-market capitalism, and are propped up by the vast capitalist infrastructure that exists solely to serve their private, selfish interests. They are mired in privilege, cronyism and nepotism. The governments and nation states of the world are fully in their service and never under any circumstances do they take any action against them.
This is the most unequal period in human history. By next year, 1% of the world’s population will own more wealth than the other 99%. Winnie Byanyima, executive director of Oxfam International, asked, “Do we really want to live in a world where the 1% own more than the rest of us combined? The scale of global inequality is quite simply staggering and despite the issues shooting up the global agenda, the gap between the richest and the rest is widening fast.”
The wealth of the richest 80 doubled in cash terms between 2009 and 2014. Increasingly, wealth is inherited and used to finance lobbyists who are paid to further their wealthy clients’ own interests, and not those of the people … of private wealth, not the Commonwealth. All elected politicians are puppets of the Old World Order of dynastic wealth and power.
The true Bible of the Power Elite is Ayn Rand’s toxic Atlas Shrugged, her sickenening hymn to selfishness. Nearly all conspiracy theorists are fanatical Randroids, and they are absolutely right that we are their Nemesis. Our mission is to bring to a permanent end the anti-democratic and anti-meritocratic rule of the privileged, dynastic elites that run the world and create a false consciousness in the sheeple that blindly support them.
Conspiracy theories are used by the Elite to promote the agenda of unrestrained free-market capitalist globalism. Conspiracy theories are all about calling into question the inherent legitimacy of governments and nation states, so that they can be replaced by capitalist markets, wholly controlled by the rich Elite … by the 80.
The 80 are unelected and unaccountable to the people, and that’s exactly what Elitism – supported by legions of right-wing anarcho-capitalist libertarians and anti-Jacobin conspiracy theorists – is all about. The right wingers of the world are all about promoting private interest over the public interest, self-service over public service, selfishness over altruism, irrationalism over Reason, greed over need, narcissism over respect for others. Right wingers are on the psychopathic spectrum. They invariably love themselves and rail against anyone or any group that seeks to stand up to them and stop the hawk predators from feeding on the innocent, harmless doves.
Capitalist Globalism – making the whole world dance to the Old World Order’s economic rule in perpetuity – is the supreme expression of imperialism. Capitalist Globalism is the One World Government that the rich Elite are implementing to ensure that they rule every corner of the globe.
The biggest “nation” of all … the One World system of Global Capitalism, which rules everything … is the ultimate gangster, and all the rest of us are the prostitutes, begging for money from the Elite while they fuck us up the ass.
Just as Judaism, Christianity and Islam have always been terrorist religions – terrorising people with the threat of the wrath of “God” and eternal pain and suffering in hell – so free-market capitalism has never been anything other than gangsterism, where those with capital point a gun at the head of those without. It’s time to stop being the slaves of the Elite. It’s time for the people to rule.
The End of Privilege, the End of Nepotism, the End of Cronyism, the End of Dynastic Wealth and Power.
Inheritance is the precise mechanism by which the dead tyrannically rule over the living. When you’re dead, you’re dead. Your wealth does not live on to be inherited by nepotistic scroungers who did nothing to earn it. Inheritance is welfare for rich folk, and no decent person would ever accept it. Inheritance is how the rich control the poor and keep them in their “place”. It’s how the dead rule from beyond the grave. The dead have no legal rights and no stake in the world of the living. Post mortem transfers of wealth, power and influence must be made illegal via Pro Life legislation, i.e. legislation designed to ensure that corpses cannot dictate the future of the human race via selectively handing on decisive financial advantage to the chosen few (the “Chosen People”).
The mission of the rich elites is to set up their families to rule over the rest of us in perpetuity. They call for zero percent inheritance tax, and inheritance is of course the means by which they transmit overwhelming advantage across the generations, how they rig the system, and how they establish the all-powerful cartel from which all the rest of us are excluded if we are fools and cowards enough to go along with it. What is the antidote to dynastic rule, and what is it that the rich elites hate and fear more than anything else? … it’s one hundred percent inheritance tax. Anyone who opposes this tax – the tax that ensures that no dynasty can rule the world via inherited wealth (parasitical wealth, unearned by the deadbeats and dead heads who pathetically grab it because they are incapable of standing on their own two feet and earning their own money by their own sweat and effort) – opposes human progress and freedom. Anyone who resists total inheritance tax supports anti-meritocracy and the dynastic rule of rich elites. We note that all the cretinous conspiracy theorists rage against inheritance tax, and call it “communism” – exactly as required by their rich puppetmasters. Here’s the simple truth of the world:
1) Thesis: Free-market Capitalism … unequal opportunities and unequal outcomes.
2) Antithesis: Communism … equal opportunities and equal outcomes.
3) Synthesis: Meritocracy … equal opportunities and unequal outcomes.
Meritocracy is about the smartest, most talented people … from any background, no matter how humble or disadvantaged … getting to the top so that the rest of us can benefit from their expertise, intelligence and merit. It’s not a question of a rising tide of money raising all boats, but of a rising tide of intelligence and talent.
The proper function of the State is to optimise itself through optimising each and every one of its citizens. It has to maximise the potential of everyone, from any background. The optimal State is the one governed by its smartest and most meritorious citizens – Plato’s Philosopher Kings, who are not allowed to accumulate any private wealth and must be devoted entirely to the public good, the opposite of today’s rulers of the world.
Every person must be allowed to go as far as their talents take them, and that means they must not be up against a rigged system of privilege, cronyism and nepotism, designed to favour the children of the Elite and to obstruct the progress of everyone else.
Free-market capitalism exists to free the capitalists and enslave everyone else. Aren’t you sick of being a slave? Then do something about it. Get off your fucking ass.
No Taxation Without Representation.
The American rebels against British imperial tyranny rightly demanded representation in Parliament. Nowadays, you routinely find American “patriots” demanding the end of government, and its replacement by the market. So, here’s a question for all the “patriots” … given that the markets are run by and for global banks, global corporations, and the global super rich, in what way are the markets accountable to the people? Can we vote the “market” or its controllers out of office? Can we fire any of the big market makers and players? Are we represented on the boards of any of the big market makers and players? Do the ordinary people have any say at all over the market? And, if they don’t, isn’t that tyranny? The market is tyranny without a face, or the face of the rich carefully hidden behind a faceless abstraction so that we can’t see the tyrant stamping on our face.
The Divine Conspiracy.
What is the Armageddon Conspiracy? It’s the Plot to Kill “God” … the Abrahamic Torture God, the Abrahamic Terrorist God … The Devil God who orders fathers to murder their own children as a test of slavish, blind obedience.

Conclusion:
The world is in thrall to the past. The shadow of primitive, superstitious, uneducated desert tribesmen continues to be cast over the world. Billions continue to subscribe to bizarre, irrational and even evil belief systems. Their deranged ideas and attitudes infect every world institution and prevent the world from moving forward. Perhaps only 20% of the human race is enlightened, while the vast majority remain ignorant, almost militantly so. It’s as if they don’t want to move into the future.
The Illuminati is a dialectical society, seeking to achieve humanity’s omega point – union with the divine order. Only through our enlightened, rational manifesto can that dream be brought into being. The old gods must perish so that new gods may live. Those new gods will be human beings. Don’t you want to become God? Then learn from the past, and correct the errors that have held back humanity. It’s time to revalue all values. It’s time to be free. It’s time to achieve apotheosis.
It’s time for the Illuminati.
