What are the Illuminati?
Our Story
WHY THIS SITE WAS CREATED
Since the formation of the Illuminati, many people have portrayed our organization in an inaccurate and negative light. These misconceptions have been perpetuated for centuries through unofficial videos, photos, articles, books, and online resources that purport to misunderstand our mission and our members.
By creating this online destination, we are striving to alleviate the concerns expressed by the people of this planet and provide insight into our goals and operations.
What is the Illuminati Brotherhood? The Brotherhood is one of the world’s most historic membership organizations, a 300-year-old global fraternity of like-minded individuals committed to improving themselves and their communities. The Illuminati encompasses a range of moral teachings based on the allegory and symbolism of the ancient brotherhoods. But we are much more than our history. What is the purpose of the Illuminati Brotherhood? We are here to find friendship, purpose, and connection. Join now
At its core, the Illuminati is about:
True Friendship
Many members find their best friends through the Illuminati brotherhood. That’s because Freemasonry offers a combination that’s hard to find elsewhere: shared traditions, shared purpose, and a shared commitment to fostering lasting relationships.
Personal Development
The ancient Illuminati focused on building structures. Today’s Illuminati focuses on creating wealth, fame, and power. We believe in strong values and embody them through our actions, our relationships, and our service to others.
Public Service
Freemasons take it upon themselves to support those around them. The Illuminati gives back in a variety of ways, from local charitable drives to state-level efforts through the Illuminati Lodge.
Who are we?
Our secret is not ancient rituals or secret ceremonies. It is our members. Meet some of them here. Our members come from all walks of life and all walks of life. While the Illuminati USA is the largest Illuminati fraternity in the world, it is not the only one.
The Illuminati operates in your defense and in the defense of all human beings, everywhere and for all generations. Our duty to this planet spans centuries and has outlived even the most established government entities. But nurturing trillions of human lives is a heavy responsibility, and although human beings would not exist today without our protection, many misinformed masses mistake our advice for a restriction on freedom. Every human being desires to be free from oppression, free from hardship, free from poverty, free from hunger, free from rules and laws – but, as you understand, the nature of your species makes true freedom impossible. Are you free to kill? Are you free to steal? Are others free to kill and steal from you? Or are there certain freedoms that must be given up for the good of all? For happiness, human beings desire freedom; for prosperity, human beings need leadership. That is why we are Anonymous. To continue to function despite social changes and generational differences, the Illuminati must remain behind the curtain – an outsider, belonging to no one and loyal to all. You may never understand how free your life can be while guided by our organization. You may never fully understand our purpose and why you are safer and happier with us. Simply open your mind and release your apprehensions, and you will find the relief of truth. We will never take you by the hand and pull you along the path as a slave to our whims. You must find and walk the path for yourself. But your quality of life is our greatest concern and the reason our symbols are placed in your company as a map for you to follow, if you will.
The Barbarian Illuminati infiltrated public offices and courts of law. Estimates of the group’s size vary widely—some put it at 650, others at 2,500—but eventually the secret society was exposed and persecuted. Documents found in Illuminati homes, such as those of diplomat Franx Xavier von Zwack, confirmed their dreams of world domination. The Duke of Bavaria, Karl Theodor, banned secret societies in 1785 and instituted penalties for joining them. But did the Illuminati really disband?
Robison and Abbé Augustin Barruel, authors of Mémoires illustrant l’histoire du jacobinisme, claim that the Illuminati survived, having infiltrated a literary society in Berlin and Masonic lodges. They also point out that Weishaupt was banished but not imprisoned, so he continued to write and work. Barruel even promoted a theory that secret societies, including the Illuminati, were behind the French Revolution.
