Illuminati
The Illuminati
Whether the Illuminati exists has been a controversial topic for hundreds of years. Are they really conspiring for new world order? Do the members of this alleged secret society have to sell their souls to Satan to gain admission? I have recently discovered that a distant family member of mine is a member of the Illuminati, so this peaked my interest on the subject even more. Since its commencement, many groups claim to be involved with The Illuminati Order, and solid facts about the group were very difficult to find, but some details have been agreed upon by researchers and philosophers, one being that The Illuminati did exist at one point, ran by some of the most prestigious and influential members of society since the beginning of time. Whether or not it still survives today and the true members that comprise it, however, remains a mystery. It has been said that The Illuminati is a benevolent group whose goals are to bring peace and harmony to the world, it has also been said that the group is powered and driven by demonic forces, only made up of true evil. Not much about The Illuminati can be proven for sure, but some clues have been left behind inducing its history, members and formation of the society, and how the group has influenced, or otherwise shaped, our world history.
According to Google Definitions the word “Illuminati” itself comes derives from the Latin based word meaning, “enlightened,” or “people who claim to possess enlightenment or knowledge.” According to Know Your Enemy, Canon law professor and Jesuit practitioner Adam Weishaupt born February 6, 1748 in Bavaria, Germany, founded this widely known movement. His practices began from teachings that he learned at the young age of seven at a Jesuit school. His commitment to Jesuit practice didn’t end there, however. He later attended Ingolstadt University, where he became extremely knowledgeable in the religion. There he learned his worldview in ideologies in which he carried

    When you’re not living right you’re giving Christ a “black eye.” Hip Hop music is now growing in leaps and bounds within the civilized world as well as worldwide. Its influence has spread from the civilized world towards the eastern world. Popular artist such as Lil’ Wayne, Jim Jones, and Jay Z can be considered icons in the hip hop industry. They have recently been associated with what is known as a “secret society” or “occult,” revealed to many as the “illuminati.” This word “occult” by standard definition means “hidden from view” or “secret.” So, for example if someone is hiding secrets from you, he or she can be said to have “occult knowledge”. Back during the twelfth century, there was a cabal that consisted of nine men who were known as the Knights Templar. This “secret society” became extremely wealthy due to their protection services which were used by Kings and Popes. They held unusual rituals to initiate new members into their organization, which comprised of blood sacrifices, sodomy, and one that even promised resurrecting a comrade who died during battle. To this day, there are organizations that claim to be…

    The upbringing of the organization has two facets: create a better environment by helping those in need and the other one is to seize opportunities to gain an advantage over others by strategic force. “The idea of the Mafia is a Robin Hood-like organization in defense of the poor had a long life in Italy. But the sheer brutality of the war against the state puts the validity of the myth in question. There was so much violence and Mafia brutality. That is when the myth of the good Mafia dies. It enters into a period of crisis”(The Star). “Has there ever been a trial during which it has emerged that there is a criminal association called the mafia and that this association has been definitely responsible for or actually committed a crime? Has any document or witness any proof at all which has ever come to light establishing a sure connection between a crime and the so-called mafia? In the absence of such proof, and if we admit that the mafia exists, I’d say it was a secret association for mutual aid, no more and no less than freemasonry. There’s the same amount of proof that the freemasons go in for criminal activity as there is that the mafia exists”(Sciascia…

    One of the best examples I know of would be the subliminal messages hid in today’s music industry. Most of these messages are found within older rock and rap music. In rap music today you often hear the topics of money and drugs. When younger adults and young teens hear this constantly on the radio it influences them to do the same. In illuminati the influence is to sell your soul to the devil. By selling your soul to the devil you can have all the money, fame, and power that you want. Most celebrities and singers achieve their million dollar status this way. The music videos produced also provides many sex symbols throughout the video persuading the audience. One of my “used to be” favorite artists Beyoncé is big in the music industry thanks to the illuminati.…

    History has shown us that they are supported, possessed, and guided by the most evil spirits of all time. Members of the Illuminati think of themselves as descendants of Cain, brother of Abel. Cain was one of two sons born to Eve, the first woman mentioned in the Bible. In the third book of Genesis we are told the story of Adam and Eve in the beautiful Garden of Eden. The book explains how Eve is tempted by the sly serpent when he hissed that their eyes would “be opened” if they ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The key word in this passage is “eyes” which in Hebrew can be translated to "knowledge" and the word “opened” can be translated "broadened." What the serpent promised Adam and Eve was that knowledge would be broadened if they ate of the forbidden fruit. What my Catholic grade school teacher didn’t tell me was that Eve didn’t eat actually an apple, but instead had a taste of the devil himself. When Adam heard of Eve’s sexual acts with the devil he became jealous and he too followed in the devil’s footsteps by producing an offspring with her. Recently, scientific knowledge has proven that it’s possible to conceive twins who have different fathers. This explains that Cain, who killed his brother, Abel, was the son of the devil and Abel was Adam’s son (Robinson). The devil is wicked and will always seek to…

    These families have been operating in the United States since the time of prohibition in the 1920's (Abadinsky 1981). In comparison to any other organized crime group, La Cosa Nostra possesses the greatest amount of concern and attention from the United States Criminal Justice System. Even though the La Cosa Nostra has been severely crippled by law enforcement and challenged in a number of its criminal markets by other organized groups, it remains the largest branch of organized crime. Supposedly as many as 1,100 made members and 10,000 associates of La Cosa Nostra are presently working in the United States (Kenney & Finckenauer 1995). With those numbers the La Cosa Nostra has greater capacity to gain monopoly control over markets, to use or threaten violence to maintain that control, and to corrupt law enforcement and the political system than any of its competitors. No other criminal organization in the United States has controlled labor unions, organized employer cartels, operated as a rationalizing force in major industries, and functioned as a bridge between the underworld and upper-world.…

    I find the religion in the Popular Culture of the greatest interest to me. Popular culture according to one definition reaches a larger audience. When popular culture uses the images of religion to portray a message I see the message as more of a counterfeit intended to deceive the world and ultimately take the place of God. Subliminal messages our powerful and that is how I see religion when it is used in popular culture. I have much talk on-line about several famous celebrities being associated with the " Illuminati". The Illuminati enthusiasts seem to agree it is a modern-day secret society with ancient roots that is made of up powerful and elite individuals who conspire to control the world — politics, government, religion, entertainment…

    Organized Crime In America

    Organized crime has always been occupied with a negative label. Perhaps this is due to the constantly changing environment in America as well as the social state of its homeland, Europe. Our society is convinced that the so-called Mafia is a family of pure criminals, pimps, and murderers. Whatever the opinion, there is no doubt that the Mafia played a big part in the history of America and the way Americans view crime today. "The origins of the secret society known as the Mafia are believed to be as old as the 9th century" (Mafia History). During the 9th century, the Mafia's main purpose was to strengthen themselves against enemies, which invaded their homeland in Sicily. It was supposed to create a strong feeling of togetherness…

    Illuminati. A myth? The truth? You all may have opinions that suggest it isn’t real, but there is proof that it is affecting the world and how we live right now. The Illuminati was formed in 1776, the same year as the famous Declaration of Independence was signed. There are many other secret societies that are similar to the Illuminati but they all have different agendas, but they’re still similar. The Jason group, Builderbergs, Free Masons, Knights Templar and Skull and Bones. These groups are based all around the world, not just in America, but my primary focus will be on the US, since that’s where the Global Elite are more recognized.…
