Illuminati
Where each worldview places it
"Collectively they are known as the Illuminati": the collective body of the illumined, which Horus symbolizes[1]. "All of you who have fallen for the scam that the Illuminati does not exist, they do"[1]. The Bavarian order of 1776 is only one branch. "Adam Weishop did not establish the Illuminati, nor did the Illuminati die with Adam Weishop"[2]. The Illuminati is "the true source of the Masons' power" and "the true enemy is not communism, but illuminism"[3]. Its hints are mostly level 2, with eight at level 1 as the world body.

- Author's claims · 7
- 01Its major goal is "the destruction of all religion, including Christianity". Its oaths make the end justify murder and lying, which is "why politicians continually lie" (Epperson read)[13].
- 02"Secret associations ... will, by degrees, and in silence, possess themselves of the government of the States" (Weishaupt)[13].
- 03Never use the name "Illuminati" and never appear in its own name. Breaking this rule probably caused Weishaupt's downfall[14].
- 04Women are the best means of influencing men, and it recruits idealistic students[9].
- 05It used Freemasonry "as a cover for radicalism and revolution"[15].
- 06"The body of the Illuminati around the world are working toward one world government"[16].
- 07Maxwell and Hilder, Cooper's television guests, call it a Freemasonic secret society "that had designs on the entire world", whose masters still manipulate world finance[11].
