Illuminati: the Truth
Hello, my name is Chelsea Cathcart and before I begin I would like to ask a couple of questions. Have you ever heard of the illuminati? What do you think the illuminati may be? Well, if you ask anyone that’s ever heard of will have one answer and one answer only: “they worship the devil.” The thing is that they’re right but there’s more to it than that. Just mentioning the illuminati is the cause of much discussion. The illuminati are of people claiming to possess special enlightenment or knowledge of something. Either a person is convicted of an illuminati plot to control the world, or they deny the existence all together. Your opinion lies on either side, because discussion of the illuminati can be quite fascinating. Illuminati the word itself is supposed to mean those who become “spiritually enlightened” or claims that they are.
I bet you’re wondering how did it all begin, well history will show that the illuminati is quite a real organization. It was founded by a Bavarian Professor of Law Adam Weishaupt. Adam joined the freemasons, the illuminati was a secret society within a secret society. Freemasons appeared in the 17th century. They’ve always been very secretive society using a pyramidal structure. They engage in secret rituals, and seem to use magical and mysterious symbols. The order of the illuminati was created on May 1st 1776 also known as Mayday, which is a sacred holiday to the pagan religion. But I’d like to talk about what they did. They included wealthy individuals much like billionaire and celebrities of today. The revolutionaries agitated the reign of terror in which untold hundreds of thousands of people were killed. Even though at the time America was far from over-populated there were only a fraction of people compared to the population of today.. Robespierre encouraged the slaughter of roughly 15 million people. In the mean time, Charles Theodore, Prince Elector, Count Palatine, and Duke of Bavaria outlawed the order of the illuminati in

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.

    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…

    There is a lot of history on freemasonry I’ll share some information with you. Freemasonry dates back to the guilds of European stonemasons who built castles and cathedrals during the Middle Ages. Temporary buildings called lodges were built next to the cathedrals, and the Masons used them to meet, receive their pay, plan their work, train new apprentices, and socialize. The first Grand Lodge was established in England in 1717; by 1731, Masonry had spread to the American colonies. Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Paul Revere, and other founding fathers were among the first Masons in the United States. The Grand Lodge of California was established…

    The Mafia is an Italian-American organized-crime network with operations in places all around the United States, especially in New York and Chicago. The reason why the Italians got involved with the Mafia in America is because in Italy, the Sicilian Mafia was under attack by Benito Mussolini. Some of them escaped to the United States, and joined the American Mafia in things such as bootlegging, smuggling, money laundering, and bribing police. In the 1920’s is when the Mafia really started to get organized. What happened was a struggle known as the Castellammarese War broke out between New York City’s two biggest Italian-American criminal gangs. In 1931, a Sicilian-born crime boss Salvatore Maranzano came out on top and he called himself boss of all bosses, in New York. Another mobster called Lucky Luciano was unhappy with this and he had him murdered that year. Luciano then formed a central organization called the Commission to be a board of directors for the American Mafia. By then the Mafia already had at least 20 crime families across the United States. In New York, which had the most crime, was separated into five main Mafia families. Other than that there was just one crime family per city. The Commission’s job was to set policies and take care of disagreements between the different mafia families. Some rituals that they had before you could join the mafia were to…

    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.

These different beliefs range from religious values, to cultural standards set by media outlets and everyday life. While researching texts written about past and present Christian-Devil relations and media extracts depicting the Devil in news lights, I found a relation between religious demonology, the…
