Having just been to Europe, I will only say that I am proud of my Lodge and witnessed nothing on your end showing me any signs of "advanced sophistication".... sigh....
What I meant by Illuminati is it was created in the same mold as the Priory, one man's ego chase, but then you knew that right?

Furthermore, no one has ever denied the Illuminati existed. Adam Weishaupt, its founder, even wrote a book defending the Order against its slanderers.

The Baravian illuminati has never been denied because the records show that it DOES exist and the Baravian Illuminati was very open order. Some say it either A) disbanded or B) it was forced underground
