We live in a democratic system, but still legitimacy questions remain. Does the American public really have the power that the government says that we do? There have been many conspiracies concerning our government, making it the center of discussions among different age and ethnicity groups. Some of these conspiracies include the Kennedy assassination, and even the death of Princess Diana. These stories have gained attention worldwide and to this day we still hear about them. One conspiracy that is becoming to surface quite rapidly is the existence of the Illuminati.
The infamous Illuminati secret society has remained one of the conspiracy theories for hundreds of years, but still there are many people that have not heard of it. “They have been called the puppet masters who secretly pull the strings of the world’s events from elections to revolutions and from business monopolies to stock market crashes” (Dice 1). Many researchers and some of the general public have several suspicions that somehow, somewhere, a secret plan is constantly lucking behind the scenes.
The word Illuminati derives from the Latin word Illumine, which means, “To be enlightened.” The members from this secret society feel that they are superior and have a higher level of intellect. Their basic goal is to create a one-world government, which can also be known as “New World Order.” These masterminds have been achieving this through the media and money system. They have the means to control the media because they come from the richest families all around the world. As The Lox says, “first you get the money, then you get the power.” The members of the Illuminati have the money and the power to control everything and soon everyone.
The Illuminati is not something that has recently emerged; in fact, it has existed over hundreds of years. The Illuminati have remained so well hidden that we have to question whether they exist or not. The Illuminati was founded by Adam Weishaupt on May 1, 1776 and was originally only five members. They called themselves the enlighten ones and they felt they could create a better world. Their mission was to abolish all government, religion, private property and nation state and replace them with the Ethiopian society. However, in 1784 the King of Bavaria found out about their plan and banned them from the country. There was still however, absolutely no way to find out if they had captured all of the members because they were ‘already inside.’
The most astonishing part is the way they operated, by infiltrating the houses of power, from government to secret societies as the freemason. The reason why they infiltrated the Masonic lodges around Europe and later in the United States, was to successfully become a secret society within a secret society.
The great strength of our Order lies in it’s concealment, let it never appear in any place in it’s own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation. None is fitter than the three lower degrees of Freemasonry; the public is accustomed to it, expects little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it.
Those are the exact words of Adam Weishaupt regarding the Illuminati. All the members of this secret society swore on complete silence so they can remain hidden. This is why people still believe that the Illuminati continue to hold power around the world till this day.
Over the years, many wealthy and well-known people have been considered to be part of creating the New World Order; John D. Rockefeller is one of them. Rockefeller and his family had been accused many times as being members of a secret society, in his memoir, he actually admits to it,
Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. (405)
Even though he admits to these accusations, there are still many who don’t believe or perhaps just don’t want to believe that the wealthiest families around the world are the ones who control everything. We know that the Rockefeller family has contributed great amounts of resources, which have gone into nearly every area of significance. From politics, media, and to education, the Rockefellers are just unstoppable.
George Washington also acknowledged the existences of the Illuminati; “it is not my intention to doubt that the doctrine of the Illuminati and the principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the Contrary, no more is more satisfied of this fact than I am.” Even though George Washington was nowhere near as wealthy as Rockefeller, he did not deny this secret society. Washington was considered to be a freemason, which can explain why he was pleased about the Illuminati reaching the United States.
Like I mentioned before, an extremely powerful, influential and wealthy assembly is coordinating this worldwide conspiracy. The participants include many of the top political leaders, corporate elite and of course the world’s wealthiest people, as well as members of the so-called Black Nobility of Europe. The British Crown dominates the Black Nobility and their goal is also to create One World Government. Even organizations such as the United Nations and the World Health Organizations are a part of this conspiracy.
The reason why the United Nations is considered to be one of many organizations that are run by the Illuminati is that John D. Rockefeller was the one that donated the land where the UN stands today. Perhaps that is not enough to convince a person that the United Nations is part of the New World Order, but how about when President Bush (the elder) announced in a nationwide television address on January 16, 1991, “When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this New World Order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.’s founders.” The United Nations’ founders were not decent, principled men like the ones that won our national independence; instead they were men who promoted “peace” through world tyranny. Therefore the United Nations is seen as a birth child to the secret society.
Usually when unforeseen events occur in the world, these people see them as “the work of an unseen hand which has orchestrated or encouraged these events to happen for the personal, professional, or financial gain of certain individuals” (Dice 1). Frequently such speculation is given the label of a “conspiracy theory” and dismissed as imaginative thinking. However many of the world’s events do not make much sense, even to the experts who study them. There is definitely more to the story than we are told, but these experts are often afraid to speak up.
If the Illuminati have been out for hundreds of years and this concept for the New World Order is not new either, why is it that it still hasn’t happened? During the United Nations Ambassadors’ dinner in Sept. 23, 1994 David Rockefeller stated,
This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for long – We are on the verge of global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.
Can 911 be one of the major crises that were intended to push all the nations to accept the New World Order? As we know right after September 11, all these conspiracy theories began to surface, but they were ignored because they didn’t have any real concrete evidence to back it up. Until a website emerged named “Hunt the Boeing! And test your perceptions!” This website was originally in French, and it raised questions about whether or not a 757 crashed into the Pentagon. Their basic argument was that a 757 was too large for it to make such little damage on the Pentagon and there were also no pictures of the plane, in fact, the first firefighters reported finding no fuselage sections on the scene. To maintain their control and power, they expand their power by centralizing it as much as they can. Therefore, they can either cause tragic world events, or let these events happen without intervening so that later on they can reorganize and unify as a result of the disaster. They see each catastrophic event as an opportunity to get closer to their goal. Whether it’s a financial crisis, or a world tragedy, the Illuminati are the ones that cause it or try to ‘fix it.’ When it comes to money, most people do not have the slightest clue about what money really is, how it is created, or even the purpose it has in a society. The financial system is so complex; many just chose not to learn about it. Even individuals that have attended college might not know exactly what the purpose of the Federal Reserve System is.
The Illuminati learned years ago that they could loan money out to people and the governments, and then charge them interest on the money that they had loaned them, hence making money without even working. The Illuminati realized how powerful this system is, and that the ones who control the creation and loaning of money can have an endless supply of it. This is why the Illuminati are known as international bankers.
Their ultimate financial purpose is to create a socialist system where the government will control everything. By establishing a New World Order, everyone will have to rely on the government for jobs, healthcare, and even basic services. As a result of this, the Illuminati will be able to easily command people on what they can and cannot do. They intend to permanently create a two-class society where a small percentage of people will possess and run all infrastructures, riches, real estate, and the rest of the world will be their slaves. They would not be able to have any assets or power.
The Illuminati’s understanding and control of money, interest rates and inflation allow them to fuel economic booms, which will “ultimately end as they hemorrhage into bubbles which burst and leave a path of economic devastation for the average citizen” (Dice 40). Since the Illuminati own real tangible assets, they are invulnerable from the overwhelming effects of economic bubbles bursting, or stock markets crashing. In 2007, Peter Schiff, the CEO of Euro Pacific Precious Metals had tried to warn the public about the mortgage bubble. He knew that this would cause the stock market to crash and throw the country into a recession, but no one believed him. Hundreds of years ago, the Illuminati learned how dominant they could be if they were to become the masters of money and banking. They saw war as a big opportunity to make plenty of money. Throughout history, private banks have loan out money to governments that are in financial conflictions and wars. Interest is of course, earned on those loans, which would end up making the banks a bulky profit. What some of us may not know, is that banks have loaned money to both sides of a conflict; therefore, prolonging the conflict, so that they can earn interest from both governments. Since a means of exchange is necessary for today’s society to function, it is no surprise that the Illuminati have a strong hand around institutions needed for money to be created and regulated.
People look at catastrophic events like the attacks on 9/11 and wonder how such a thing can happen without law enforcement and intelligence agencies knowing about it. People look at the mortgage collapse of 2008 and the following economic repercussions of bank failures and government bailouts and wonder how that happened. People see their standard of living going down and a two-income household barely able to get by. Everywhere they look at something negative is happening, so they end up turning to the television in order to keep their mind off such things.
With just the push of a button their mind is relaxed with the comforting images of this season’s American Idol, or they get an adrenaline rush as their favorite basketball team scores within two seconds left on the clock. These things make sense to them and it’s what their coworkers, peers, friends will be talking about the next day. If they want to feel connected with others then they have to participate in these meaningless activities.
The control of information is one of the most powerful tools at the Illuminati’s disposal. The way they achieve this is by owning the sources of mainstream media. From television, radio stations, newspaper and magazines, the Illuminati have complete control over the information we hear. Editorial policies are put in place, so that producer and editors do not leak any unwanted information to the public. Even though it is not 100% effective, they do try their best to keep a minimal amount of news from slipping.
Producers and editors also receive information from their boss on what stories to write and what angle they should take. For instance, if a certain person needs to be presented in a favorable light, then this is what has to happen. Operation Mockingbird is a program implemented to control the mainstream media in American and other countries. “Through congressional hearings it was revealed that hundreds of million of dollars had been paid to reporters, and that editors in key media intuitions were also on the payroll who often killed certain stories from being printed or aired” (Dice 34). However, this should come as no surprise to anyone.
It is not only the radio and news that they control; they also control the entertainment business. While many ignorant people argue that television does not affect an individual’s behaviors, the social and cultural effects of it are without a doubt clear. Sexual immorality, violence, disrespectful and destructive behaviors are encouraged by many of today’s shows, musicians and even video games. The Illuminati knew that by forcing these unmoral patterns on us, they would be able change the ethical conditions of our society. They also know that if they continue to make celebrity gossip and petty issues top stories in the media, they would be able to continue to get away with many lawful things. Countless amounts of people are not even concerned or oblivious of their own ignorance.
The fact of the matter is that when you step back and take a closer look at the world that we are living in and at what really matters, at the sources of information we regularly rely on, and assemble various pieces of this mysterious puzzle called life, a different picture begins to emerge. What should be the top story on the evening news is ease to a small and unsuspecting article in the back half of the paper and is completely omitted from broadcast news. What should be contained in celebrity gossip magazines is found as the top story on the major TV networks.
When we discover the very concrete reality of secret societies and their influence and power, we begin to see things differently. When we discover, as in recent years, the growing credible information about these secret societies, their membership goals and accomplishments, we start to see a gaping hole in the legitimacy and accuracy of mainstream media and general knowledge.
Any talk about a “conspiracy” or secret agenda being carried out by an organization of rich and powerful men is almost always respond with laughter by the average person who mindlessly follows the herb. Is it really that hard to believe an organization of men has made a pact with each other to secretly further their agendas? I honestly do not think it is far fetched to think that there is a secret society that purchase and control the media and use this power to complete their goals.
We know for a fact that secret societies exist in politics, business and religion. Many of these associations have existed for hundreds of years. With little information to work from to put together a reliable theory as to what these people are doing and what the consequences of their actions may be, it is often difficult to truly understand the workings of a secret society or alliance. But just like most careful criminal, clues are left behind. As time passes, other clues from similar crimes may emerge and shed new light on things that were once overlooked. In regards to the Illuminati, clues have been discovered over the last several hundred years. Something is definitely being kept secret by some very rich and powerful individuals.
