Are the leaders of our world descendents of Extraterrestrials?

While we admit some of the claims are far-fetched and illogical, science does seem to ignore findings that do not fit into their conservative ideology of the history of man. And there is much here worth pondering.

Evolution: Scientific Truth or Illuminati Hoax?

Evolution has been accepted by many as fact, but few delve into the roots of evolution to figure out whether the source is reputable. Most books talk about Charles Darwin in a positive light, but rarely is it mentioned that he was illuminati. This begs the question: Was Darwin a scientist who happened to be a member of the Illuminati or was he furthering the illuminati agenda?

The answer is not as simple as it seems. It is hard to tell what the Illuminati gain by convincing the vast majority of Americans that we evolved from monkeys. Perhaps it allows them to use monkeys in commercials more effectively. Or maybe it is the illuminati way to make us feel inferior so we can be easily controlled. Regardless, the illuminati evolution connection is too large to be ignored.

What do you think? What does the Illuminati gain through the theory of evolution? Is it possible Darwin was not furthering his illuminati agenda when he wrote the Origin of Species? When you look at this picture of a monkey, does it make you feel bad about yourself and more open to illuminati control?

What was the 'real' Illuminati?

Adam Weishaupt

The movement was founded on May 1, 1776, in Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria), by Jesuit-taught Adam Weishaupt (d. 1830), who was the first lay professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt. The movement was made up of freethinkers as an offshoot of the Enlightenment, and seems to have been modeled on the Freemasons. Some observers at the time, such as Seth Payson, believed the movement represented a conspiracy to infiltrate and overthrow the governments of European states. Writers such as Augustin Barruel and John Robison even claimed that the Illuminati were behind the French Revolution, a claim that Jean-Joseph Mounier dismissed in his 1801 book On the Influence Attributed to Philosophers, Free-Masons, and to the Illuminati on the Revolution of France.

The group’s adherents were given the name “Illuminati”[by whom?], although they called themselves “Perfectibilists”. The group has also been called the Illuminati Order and the Bavarian Illuminati, and the movement itself has been referred to as Illuminism (after illuminism). In 1777, Karl Theodor became ruler of Bavaria. He was a proponent of Enlightened Despotism and, in 1784, his government banned all secret societies, including the Illuminati.

During the period when the Illuminati were legally allowed to operate, many influential intellectuals and progressive politicians counted themselves as members, including Ferdinand of Brunswick and the diplomat Xavier von Zwack, who was number two in the operation and was found with much of the group’s literature when his home was searched. The Illuminati’s members pledged obedience to their superiors. Members were divided into three main classes, each with several degrees.

The order had its branches in most countries of the European continent; it reportedly had around 2,000 members over the span of ten years. The organization had its attraction for literary men, such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Johann Gottfried Herder, and even for the reigning dukes of Gotha and Weimar. Weishaupt modeled his group to some extent on Freemasonry, and many Illuminati chapters drew membership from existing Masonic lodges. Internal rupture and panic over succession preceded its downfall, which was effected by the Secular Edict made by the Bavarian government in 1785.
