    About this ebook

    ABOUT THE BOOK

    Though conspiracy theories exist in every nation and in every society, some have managed to pique the interest of readers on an international level. The Secret Order of the Illuminati is among these. My personal interest in this particular conspiracy theory and its historical context arose, as I am sure it did for many others, after reading Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. Here’s a brief look at the history of this fascinating secret society.

    EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK

    The Illuminati ran aground in 1784 when Duke Charles Theodore of Bavaria banned all associations and societies that had been formed without government consent. The Illuminati suffered heavily, with members forced to either recant their membership or lose their jobs. Only Weishaupt and Knigge were able to escape. As members were forced to reveal the Society’s secrets, it was only natural that the public’s fascination with the nature of the society started to mount.

    Among the most noted of these revealed secrets, and supposedly the main cause of strengthening the legend of the Illuminati, were the documents seized from member Xaviar Zwack that outlined the Society’s plans for the creation of a similar secret organization for women, defense of suicide and atheism, and the Illuminati claims of having control of life and death of its members. Additionally, these documents also had information on counterfeiting, abortion, poison, and secret ink.

      The problem with trash like this poorly researched or not researched book is that some crazy people might actually believe what is written here. Must ask yourself what is the secret agenda of the author.
