Patriot/Militia Debt to the Illuminati


ADAM WEISHAUPT

     "The head of every family will be what Abraham was, the patriarch,
the priest, and the unfettered lord of his family, and Reason will be
the code of laws to all mankind. THIS IS OUR GREAT SECRET."
                    - Spartacus (Weishaupt) to Cato (Zwack). Proofs of a
Conspiracy, Robison, p. 91.

      "Men originally led a patriarchal life, in which every father of a
family was the sole lord of his house and his property, while he himself 
possessed general freedom and equity. But they suffered themselves to
be oppressed -- gave themselves up to civil societies, and formed states.
Even by this they fell; and this is the fall of man,..." - Priest's 
Degree instruction. (Ibid., p.106.)

       Elsewhere Weishaupt (same letter as above) wrote that "The KINGDOM
OF GRACE is that restoration which may be brought about by illumination
and a just Morality. This is the NEW BIRTH." (Ibid., p. 92.)

       Degree of Magus or Philosophus, "the doctrines are the same with
those of Spinoza, where all is material, God and the world are the same
thing, and all religion whatever is without foundation, and the contrivance
of ambitious men."

        Rex grade "that every peasant, citizen and householder is a sovereign,
[SOUND FAMILIAR?] as in the patriarchal state, and that nations must be brought 
back to that state, by whatever means are conducible -- peacefully, if it can 
be done; but, if not, then by force -- for all subordination must vanish from
the face of the earth." - Ibid., p. 115.

         Weishaupt also promoted ruling the world through the order, the pupils
by being in the Order were rulers. He also ruled his immediate subordinates
so severely they tended to complain, and thus leak too much info, and to
quit.
          So much for the virtue of the man.

          The Illuminati also manipulated women, viewed as highly valuable to
influence men, by giving them hints of possible freedom and equality in
the new order, but in fact this was a lie as the above lectures no woman
would be receiving (when they did initiate women, they had their own
"mysteries" type rituals to keeep them busy), sows. And they maintained two
cliques of women agents: The virtuous, used to influence virtuous men [i.e.,
those who don't party and have casual sex], and the loose, used to influence
libertine men. The two, one writer observed, were not allowed to know of each
other's existence as groups, or at least the virtuous were not allowed to know
about the other set.

(As usual, the virtuous and sheltered are made fools of and used, while 
larger pictures are kept from them.)

For those of you who don't know about this, The Illuminati was a secret
society, founded in the latter half of the 1700's, by Adam Weishaupt, who was
envious and angry that he did not get a professorial "chair" or job at 
Ingolstadt University, which was traditionally reserved for a Jesuit. Weishaupt
set about to take over the world, using an order derived in part from the Jesuit
model, but with paganoid motifs, anarchism and atheism, and a series of grades
by which the members was led into more and more amorality and evil. Whether 
any overt Satanism was practised is not clear, and unlikely. The values of
Satanist culture overlap those of anarchy far more than they do those of 
communism, except to the degree the latter shares points with totalitarian
feudalism and totalitarian fascism.

The Illuminati (or "The Order") piggybacked on the Freemasons, recruiting
from among them. The opening wedge was preaching "the happiness of man" while 
training the recruit gradually to be ruler by intrigue and influence, both
then and in the proposed future stateless society. Anyone outside the Order who
was independently talking the same line, was recruited.

A courier carrying some papers for them was hit by lightning. The letters 
horrified the authorities, and the Bavarian police raided Baron von Knigge's
house and some others. The finds were even worse incl. recipes for poisons, 
abortifacients (which back then even secularly inclined people had the sense to
consider disreputable at best), and forged seals and so forth. In other words,
espionage and arsenal type stuff.

The papers of The Illuminati were published and sent to the various governments
in the as yet not united Germany, probably elsewhere, to alert the rulers (not
all of them tyrannical at all) of the evil designs.

Weishaupt took refuge with the Duke of Saxe-Gotha. Some times after they were
disbanded, the so-called German Union of reading rooms and book printers/dealers
was formed, along the same lines, same purpose, same search to co-opt similar 
thinkers not among them already. Here the focus was different, being more public
propaganda by reading rooms of their ideas. 

The founder of the German Union was at Moses Mendelssohn's funeral. Mendelssohn 
founded the Reform branch of Judaism which pretty nearly repudiates most Judaism
identifiers, and has little if any probloem with rejection of the doctrine of 
divine inspiriation of the Torah, a point that must be held to be accepted by the
Orthodox, among many other points of course. Reform was bent on assimilation, and
easily became host to the Jacob Frank heretics, themselves a spin off of the  
false messianic mystic Shabbatai Zevi (who repudiated Judaism and adopted Islam 
under some duress). Gershom Scholem writing on all this gives more details, and as
for the Frankists, see Rabbi Felix Antelman's To Eliminate the Opiate.

The Frankists of course did not get on with the Orthodox Yeshivas, and their 
and the Yeshiva students would get in brawls. (Started by the Frankists, who 
worshipped Jacob Frank among others.) On one occasion, a Frankist woman who was a
double to the wife of the chief Rabbi of Prague went to the chief of police and 
said she had seen her husband kill a Christian boy as sacrifice, the old "blood
libel," because the Frankists were angry that their heresies were rejected. 
When a pogrom broke loose, the Frankists had already left Prague. 

(Note to people who don't read too carefully, the foregoing is not an anti-
semitic rant, and I have no patience with people who think to recruit me to that
stuff, nor do I want to hear from someone outraged persons who didn't get the
point. These little known developments in East European Jewish history are quite
possibly the result of conspiratorial gentile influence, and do not in any way
reflect inherent tendencies in Judaism, whether of blood or of doctine. A real 
problem that laid the groundwork for it, however, was the Qabalah, or at least
that version taught by Isaac Luria. Zevi based his claims on some mystical and
qabalistic nonsense. Rabbinic opinion on the Qabalah ranges from blind acceptance
to viewing it as heretical. The latter is probably closer to the truth. The 
contents are recognizeably drawn from pagan and gnostic influences and the earliest 
material is the Sepher Yetzirah, which assigns mystical meaning and role in
creation to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Possible useage of letters as 
talismans is perhaps taught by this. The next oldest is the Sepher Briah,/i>,
a more straightforward Bible exegesis, with some speculation and non heretical
stuff, plus the first mention of the Sephiroth, but not like a tree. What I recall
sounded more like a flight of UFOs. 

The Sepher ha-Zohar is the big kicker. Several volumes, it was published 
by the author (or compiler, depending on who you believe) Moses de Leon's widow.
De Leon was a Spanish Jew who according to one source wrote it all himself, 
but the popular idea is that he collated ancient texts. Internal evidence refutes
this, see Scholem. Zoharic qabalism is apparently the main source for the ritual
magic and other problematic sides of qabalism, the main repository of pagan and
gnostic derived ideas, and borrowed in turn from by Western magicians.)

The Illuminati went on more as legend, it is possible that Netchaev was an 
Illuminatus, no one else is all the later ferment can be accused of this with any
probability.  Obviously the actual members who were fanatics would continue their
plans. You only need one Illuminatus here and there, who is good with arguments, 
to move things in an unwholesome direction or to an unwholesome extreme, if the
others are swayed.

The Skull and Bones Order fraternity at Yale, ably depicted in the movie The 
Brotherhood of the Belluse it to promote 
their initerests, and the partners are reminded that their relationship 
exists for the benefit of family and social networks, not for their
own benefit (this in violation of the teaching of Genesis 2:24). Sexual
character differences are emphasized so that they are kept alienated
from each other. Their sexual styles even are often pressured to be
on radically different tracks.

The various Conspiracy links out on the Web often incl. stuff that deals
with this sort of thing, called "ruling class conspiracy." The trails 
that conspiracy researchers first followed were misinterpreted by them
as evidence of Communist conspiracy, because of the "grid" these 
peopled everyhting through. In fact, it is a lot more complicated
than that. The links go all through the political spectrum, and are more
and are especially heavy into the right. Currently, Illuminati
type thinking is being purveyed through the libertarian movement, 
and the Cato Institute, among others.
