Whom Do You Trust?
By Charles Burris
I have attempted to relate to my students that once upon a time a secret society named the Order of the Illuminati was indeed founded on May 1, 1776, by a former professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt, Bavaria named Adam Weishaupt. This clandestine organization existed for a number of years and had an elite membership of significant and influential persons throughout Europe who acted covertly in furtherance of the goals and objectives of this group. Using primary source documents, careful and diligent scholars have documented who those specific members were and what the goals entailed. But the organization went out of formal existence. No successful scholar has been able to authentically document the continuation of the organization by overt or covert means to the present day.

I enjoy reading some sane words once in a while.
I wish there were more videos on the net debunking this satanic BS madness. Maybe I’ll give it a shot sometime

Good article. Nice to see he acknowledges the reality of the actual historical Illuminati while still being honest about the out of control popular view of the Illuminati. As I understand it, however, Jay-Z is indeed a freemason, not that that means he killed Michael Jackson. I think Tupac did an album called “Killuminati” and since there is some contention around his death, this no doubt sparked a lot of rampant speculation too. I believe at the height of his career Tupac also dated actress Salli Richardson, who at that time was the voice of Elisa on Disney’s Gargoyles, a cartoon that not only featured the Illuminati (it was actually the first place I ever heard the name) but was heavily inspired by the works of Robert Anton Wilson. I wonder if Tupac got the album title idea from Richardson.

I didn’t know that about Tupac and Richardson. It makes sense that she could have told him stuff about the Illuminati. He also was an avid reader and probably encountered conspiracy books.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Jay-Z, already (it seems) a Prince Hall Mason, was also in a fringe Masonic group such as Memphis Mizraim or the OTO. The latter two have degrees where they call themselves “Illuminati,” and have pyramid as well as all-seeing eye symbolism.

I have directly connected Illuminism to Bolshevism. See the following: http://zioncrimefactory.com/2012/02/20/for-the-whiners-and-crybabies/#comment-7154
As Vladimir Bukovsky demonstrated, Bolshevism combined with Capitalism to form Globalism, which is being implemented in a regionalist manner: http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/865
Highly relevant to this is the text “Red Symphony”: http://americandeception.com/index.php?action=downloadpdf&photo=PDFsml_AD/Red_Symphony-Landowsky-1968-30pgs-POL.sml.pdf&id=340

The Illuminati scare has always been out there since the late 70’s. The more you dig the more your find out. I think that the name is only used more for high degree rituals used within secret societies. I am an inactive member of one very large secret philosophical society. I currently study the older Freemason rituals to see what substance is in them. I’m starting out with my blog and will discuss the Illuminati in future blogs. Much of today’s hype comes from the misunderstood history of the popular movement that happened then during religious persecution that came from the Catholic church. Heresy meant what? Torture and death.
