the organization went out of existence in the 19th century.
However, there are literally hundreds of books, pamphlets, and articles
from the 1920's forward which discuss "hidden government" or a "hidden
hand" behind political developments as well as "plots for world
domination" whose principals are described variously as Illuminati,
communists, Bolsheviks, Jews, freemasons, insiders, a power elite,
international bankers, or other perceived noxious "subversive"
characters.
The evidence cited in early 20th century publications is identical to,
or is the basis for, subsequent anti-CFR (Council on Foreign
Relations), anti-Illuminati, and anti-Rockefeller publications produced
by groups like the Birch Society. Below is a brief introduction, by
year of publication, to such literature:
1919:
Nesta H. Webster: The French Revolution: A Study in Democracy (London,
England: Constable and Company Ltd., 519pp and in the United States:
E.P. Dutton, 1920 and reprinted in 1988 by Noontide Press, Costa Mesa
CA)
1920:
Ameen Rihani: The Descent of Bolshevism (Boston MA: The Stratford Co.,
62pp)
Christian Science Monitor: The Jewish Peril [1200-word editorial]
(Boston MA: 06-19-20, p16). The editorial identifies Adam Weishaupt as
the real father of Communism and it observes that:
"A CONSIDERABLE stir has been caused in the political dovecots of
Europe by the publication of an amazing pamphlet, entitled 'The
Jewish Peril.' This pamphlet, which has a sub-head, 'Protocols of
the Learned Elders of Zion', professes to reveal a plot, formulated
by a Jewish secret society, for the overthrow of Christendom."

General Eli A. Helmick: Undermining the Youth of the Nation (2/23/25)
[copy in Eli A. Helmick Papers, Special Collections Department, Joyner
Library, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC].
Gen. Helmick (Inspector General of the U.S. Army from 1919-1927)
asserted that Bolshevism was a continuation of an international
Illuminati conspiracy that originated in Europe during the 18th
century. It incited the French Revolution of 1789 and it was "the
influence which led to the bloodshed during the reign of terror"
and, then, a century later, Karl Marx carried on the conspiracy through
the "terrible bloodshed in the Paris Commune after the overthrow of
the French Government in 1871." The contemporary manifestation of
this conspiracy, according to Helmick, was the Communist International
of Lenin and Trotsky.

1950's forward
According to Myron C. Fagan (Cinema Educational Guild-Los Angeles
CA), the Rothschilds took control of the Illuminati from Adam Weishaupt
and they then used the organization to control U.S. foreign policy
through the Council on Foreign Relations. Fagan's organization
periodically published his tracts as a "News Bulletin" -- each with a
sequential number.
The Chicago Tribune ran periodic editorials discussing the CFR in
derogatory terms.
Herbert Sanborn: Anthology of Miscellaneous Writings (no date;
self-published, contains essay entitled "Preface To The History of
International Conspiracy" - which discusses Illuminati)
William Guy Carr: News Behind The News (the monthly newsletter of
Carr's Federation of Christian Laymen) published numerous articles
which discussed the power of the Illuminati in U.S. and world affairs.
See for example: Vol 1, #8, June-July 1957, p6 where Carr refers to the
death of Sen. Joseph McCarthy: "His fate was not sealed until he
realized that Communists are controlled by agentur of the
Illuminati."
Don Bell: During the 1950's the Don Bell Reports newsletter
frequently mentioned the history and activities of the Illuminati. See
for example the April 22, 1955 issue, p23. Also see 1956 and
1972entries below.

Emanuel M. Josephson: "Eisenhower Gives Us No `Change', America's
Betrayal Continues"
An excerpt from this pamphlet follows:
"For the membership of the CFR holds in its highest ranks the top
Communist agents and traitors...The role of the subversives in the CFR
is obviously to indoctrinate their fellow members, as their masters
wish to have them indoctrinated...The deliberate purpose to which the
CFR has been dedicated since it was taken over by its present bosses in
1926, is to further the interests of the Rockefeller Empire (especially
Saudi Arabia), of the Soviets, and of the alliance between the two
entered into in the same year, which the author has named the
Rockefeller-Soviet Axis."
"Evidence in the published records of Congress completely proves that
the same CFR interests financed, through it subsidiary the Institute of
Pacific Relations, the Communist Richard Sorge spy ring in Japan, that
induced the Japs to attack the U.S. at Pearl Harbor, instead of
following their original plan of attacking Russia. They thus
precipitated another Rockefeller Crusade, the Roosevelt War...They were
also responsible for the Korean `Truman War' and for our involvement in
it, as well as blocking its victorious termination."
"The CFR's masters and agents are intent on keeping us continually at
war as a means of sustaining the `capitalist' or Marxist
super-capitalist (mis)-managed economies that they support, for the
ultimate purpose of attaining super-Napoleonic world conquest and
totalitarian dictatorship, which they seek as their concept of `perfect
government'...So intent are they upon keeping us at war to fulfill
their malevolent intent, that they persistently equip our Soviet
enemies with all the materiel of war with which they are slaughtering
our men through their creations: Lend-Lease, the Marshall Plan, the
UN, NATO, the Point 4 Program and others."

"The Communists (jewish conspirators) knew that Germany would have to
be crushed, if they were to ever have complete dominance of the
continent of Europe. Their conspiracy to destroy Germany, dates back to
the year 1776, when on the first day of May, in Munich, Germany, an
organization called the 'Illuminati' was launched by a group of
atheists and free-thinkers. The founder and leader of this organization
was Adam Weishaupt. Weishaupt was a cunning human devil, (literal son
of Satan) whose dream in life was to destroy Germany, and to place the
whole world under one government, headed by his God-hating
'Illuminati'."

Carr asserted that: "It would take volumes to quote all the evidence to
prove that the international bankers organized, financed, and directed
the Russian Revolution in order to obtain control of a vast territory
so that the Illuminati could try out their ideas for totalitarianism"
[p. 93] "Theirs has been a Long Range Plan. It started 3,000 years
ago." [p. 94] "Communism and Nazism both use a form of Grand Orient
Masonry for proselytizing purposes." [pp. 107-8]. Carr refers to
"Lenin, the first canonized saint of the Illuminati totalitarian
creed." [p. 143]. "My own research work has caused me to believe
that the documents published by Professor Nilus in Russia in 1905 as
'The Jewish Peril', and by Mr. Marsden in England in 1921 as 'The
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion', are the Long range Plan of
the Illuminati which was explained by Amschel Rothschild to his
associates in Frankfort in 1773 as recorded in Chapter 3 of this book."

re-issued the open letters individually, and in collections, under the
auspices of her newly formed organization, Council on American

The Council on American Relations published at least 2 versions of

35 pages of this edition was entitled "Secret Government of the United

their nefarious works on Socialism and the instigation of the first
International, incorporated the Illuminati program bodily. The fact
that communism is nothing but the Jew Weishaupt's satanism has not

Jews had in Illuminism the weapon they needed to effect their world
takeover."

the existence in New Orleans of a secret society organized nearly 200
years ago in Bavaria. This society uses political assassination as a
method of controlling world money markets. Other historians have
linked this group to Jacobism (sic), Bolshevism, and Communism...The
organization was the Bavarian Illuminati."

the membership and the leadership. However, they found it most suited
to their ends, as the Communists or the CFR elitists of today do, to
utilize the intellectual talents of these Jewish-born apostates. They
were especially placed in conspicuous positions so as the insure a
victory of sorts if they would not succeed - thus polarizing among the
masses those who would be stupid enough to blame the Jews for
Illuminism, Revolution, Bundism, Socialism or Communism." Also see

These are a few of the over EIGHT MILLION Google results for Illuminati.
It is not a joke... it has been a part of world history for centuries and is
highly threatening to a peaceful humanity to this very day.
Ther are probably a hundred posts in this very group that reference
current evidence of 'illuminati' made within the past 180 days or so.

The Philestine
- The Iluminati DID (note past tense) exist in the 18th Century and were involved in some clandestine anti-establishment political activities.
- Adam Weishaupt's Bavarian Illuminati were dissolved in the late 1700s and never reappeared in any organised form. However, the spectre of illuminism and all the occult mythology that has grown up around it has been used by the far right and some religious groups - both Christian and Muslim - as a tool to induce paranoid reactions in people, and thereby manipulate political fringe dwellers to engage in subterfuge against democratic states.
- The Iluminati 'phantom' has been touted by conspiracist exponents as the underlying truth behind the New World Order. What is amazing to me is that some fundamentalist evangelicals and Catholics, new agers and spiritualists, Muslim radicals and mystics, ufologists, neo-Nazis humanists can all cohabit in the domain of belief in this world super-conspiracy led by the Illuminati and its alleged off shoots in freemasonry, despite having such contradicting views on everything else that is important to their faiths.
- Conspiracy theory is like a virus. It attaches itself to a body of belief - religious or secular - by way of certain theological 'hooks' that allow a conspiracist attitude to take hold. Just like a virus, the conspiracy theory slightly alters the nature of that body of belief in the mind of the believer, who then becomes an agent for transmitting a conspiracist slant on those beliefs to someone else. Thus, conspiracy theories spread, and often become ingrained in belief systems, although I concede that Islam appears to have strong anti-semitic conspiracist assrtions built into its scriptures.
- The primary target of beliefs in the Illuminati is the Jews, who, it is alleged, make up the majority of the elite that rule the world behind the scenes, most by virtue of their supposed extraordinary wealth rather than direct political power.
- Conspiracy theory is a popular vehicle for many sci-fi and thriller movies and TV series (National Treasure, Conspiracy Theory, Left Behind, Stargate SG-1, Revelation, The Matrix < Star Wars), all trying to exploit a widespread belief that democratic governments have deep secrets and are controlled by rich and powerful and faceless cabals that use the media to manipulate the masses into excepting oppressive laws. The truth is that those espousing conpiracist ideas are often deceived and deceptive in their dealings with other people.

why do you propose that as your standard for what is accurate, factual,
and/or truthful? For example: "flat earth" produces 987,000 hits.
"Holocaust denial" produces 965,000 hits and "Big Foot" produces
1,340,000 hits.
Conspiracy adherents often don't heed the judgments of their own
recommended sources. For example, the late Dr. Antony Sutton, former
Research Fellow with the Hoover Institute at Stanford University.
See Sutton's article entitled "The State of Research Concerning Power
Elites" which appears on pages 4-6 of the Summer 1977 issue of
Conspiracy Digest. Sutton sought to distinguish between the rigors of
genuine historical scholarship versus "amateurs" engaged in
propagandizing for their own personal political views.
Sutton opens the article by stating that "only within the last decade
have professional analysts and historians entered this arena [research
into power elites] which has long been the preserve of amateur
historians, i.e. those whose main occupation is something other than
compilation and analysis of information."
In a reference to the writings of Nesta Webster (an early 20th century
British writer who often wrote about the conspiratorial history of
groups like the Illuminati), Sutton observed:
"The earlier amateur analysis which began in the 1920's, while a
pathbreaking and a valiant effort, has been something of a roadblock to
professional analysis. This is because of the manner in which the term
'conspiracy' has been applied, almost as an article of faith, to
explain anything and everything suspicious that moves or breathes
without providing much in the way of hard supporting evidence...The
hallmark of 'amateur' analysis has been to place explanation before
examination, i.e. to arrive at conclusions before providing evidence on
which conclusions are based."
Sutton then discusses the 19th century book by John Robison (Proofs of
a Conspiracy), which is a major primary source used by conspiracy
groups such as the Birch Society to substantiate their conclusions
about the history of the Illuminati:
"Robison on his title page suggests a broader target than the
Illuminati alone...Present day holders of the Illuminati theory,
particularly members of the John Birch Society, often ignore the equal
attention proposed for freemasons and reading societies...There is no
major evidence at this time that the Illuminati survived as an
organization after about 1800..."
"An anonymous book entitled Seventeen Eighty Nine published by the John
Birch Society in 1967 to present a case for a presumed link between the
Illuminati and the 'communist conspiracy' confirms that, in fact, no
evidence exists for the existence of the Illuminati after 1800." ...
"...The paradox today is that investigators who are skeptical about an
all encompassing, monolithic 'master conspiracy' -- such as this writer
-- are aware of more hard evidence on past Illuminati operations than
those who have accepted the 'master conspiracy' explanations without
probing for factual evidence..."
On Nesta Webster, Sutton observes:
"Nesta Webster has assumed an answer; consequently there is no impetus
to look for evidence. Energy is spent on propagandizing the 'answer'
rather than investigation of facts. This unscientific approach dooms
Illuminati theorists to an eternal treadmill. Repeating a mantra based
on the words 'Illuminati' and 'Master Conspiracy' does not bring about
the physical existence of these categories nor will it convince most
people." ...
and
"Works that do NOT fit within the category of scientific procedure are
numerous. Nesta Webster has to be rejected because it is difficult to
separate fact from fiction
