Illuminati history is a fascinating subject. There are many contradicting stories, timelines and misinformation in the public arena. You have to dig deep to learn the real facts about the history of the Illuminati. You will not find this type of information on the mainstream media, nor will you find it in the history books of schools.

Secret societies and elite private groups have been around since the dawn of consciousness on this planet. They started out mainly as networks of royal families and titans of industry and commerce. There are literally thousands of different secret societies from all over the world. The Illuminati is often a generic word put on the entire controlling elite class that actually consists of members of many different secret societies in addition to the Illuminati such as Knights Templar, Yale University’s Skull and Bones Society, the Trilateral Commission, the Council On Foreign Relations, The Freemasons, The Young President’s Organization, The Bohemian Grove Club and many more. Many of these groups actually started as tight-nit groups of intellectuals who would get together to share knowledge and escape religious persecution.

The Illuminati is simply one of these groups. However, many members of the other groups also belong to the Illuminati.

The Illuminati history came about through a networking of many different groups. With increases commerce, interaction and ease of world wide travel at the end of the 1700′s, one man, Adam Weishaupt took on the role of uniting the many different powerful elite groups and secret societies under one banner called the Illuminati.

Adam Weishaupt was a professor in law in Bavaria. This is why you often hear of the original Illuminati history being referred to as the “Bavarian Illuminati.”. Weishaupt had a falling out with the Catholic church, as many intellectuals did in the post-dark ages times. He was then tasked in the year of 1776 to unite many of the secret societies and elite groups. And the Illuminati as we know it today was born.

The world Illuminati refers to Latin roots meaning “enlightened ones”. This means that the Illuminati are enlightened, or have secret information above and beyond the knowledge of the masses. They have used this high level and powerful information to control economies and huge populations.

There are many misconceptions and incorrect information about the intentions and agenda of the Illuminati. Just like any group, there are honest, good people in the group as well as misguided and evil members.

This group of evil members inside the main group wants to have the entire world under its iron grip control. They know that this would take some time, but they are determined into achieving their goal.  They has spent centuries patiently building their plans. The strategy involves economy manipulation, population control and the instigation of various wars and conflicts around the world.

Many of the wars and atrocities of history can be attributed the Illuminati and their agenda. They honestly believe that controlling people through force is in the best interest of humanity.

It is widely accepted that some of the world’s most wealthy people got their money, opportunities and connections from this group. A number of superstars have been associated with the Illuminati. You can see the Illuminati symbolism in many areas of pop culture. Some members join this group for good reasons and intentions and then turn to the dark side. Other members within the group are still good and silently oppose the dark agenda.

History of the Illuminati is clear to those who seek out the information for themselves. Although there are many conflicting stories and theories about its background, this is the most accepted version.

Perhaps what’s more important than the Illuminati history, is the future of the Illuminati. Will the evil cabal inside the group end up taking control and creating a world of tyranny and control? Or will the good side end up prevailing and bring about a world of freedom, sovereignty, wealth and abundance for all?
