In 1777 Karl Theodor became ruler of Bavaria and his government banned all secret societies, causing Weishaupt to flee. All of his and Von Zwack’s documents were seized and then published by the Bavarian government. About 10-15 years after the Illuminati’s downfall, Augustin Barruel’s Memoirs illustrating the History of Jacobinism and John Robison’s Proofs of a Conspiracy publicized the theory that the Illuminati survived. It also represented an ongoing international conspiracy, claiming the Illuminati were behind the French Revolution.
This society of international bankers, top government officials, leaders in the energy cartel, and media monopoly owners has one goal, to control the world through a one-world government. In order to reach this goal they crave to have total control of financial systems, the media, and universities. Currently, they set up the council on foreign relations, the Bilderberg group, and the tri-lateral commission. The Illuminati are also believed to have control over the U.N. and federal agencies.
