However the nefarious activities they are accused of do not match up
with Adam Weishaupts surviving writings and philosphy
I for one have reviewed the illuminati.am material, and am well pleased at it's philosophical attributes.

Firstly, there is no hard proof of the Illuminati's existence in the present day
Though many claim that title
We do know and have proof that the Illuminati once existed
Adam Weishaupt (Spatacus) being it's founder stated
" I am proud to be known to the world as the founder of the Illuminati"
Here are few other quotes of Adam's to wet the appetite
of those interested in gleaning an understanding of the Illuminati's philosphy
"When man lives under government, he is fallen,
his worth is gone, and his nature tarnished."
« And what is this general object? The happiness of the human race. But where are the proper persons, the good, the generous and the accomplished to be found? And how, and by what strong motives, are they to be induced to be engaged, in a task so vast, so incessant, so difficult and so laborious? "
"Morality will perform all this; and Morality is the fruit of Illumination."
"This is the great object held out by this association; and the means of attaining it is illumination, enlightening the understanding by the sun of reason which will dispell the clouds of superstition and of prejudice"

Now the big question is
Are there any who have carried the flame forward in to this present day
How can we judge who is adhering to the original philosphy and who is not
Simple ... We need to examine the ideas/philosophy of Adam Weishaupt
Then apply that to modern groups such as the one I am a member of
Here is a link to the archives of this group
illuminati.am...
Now there is no hard proof this group is the true Illuminati
All we can do is examine the ideas
This group is an outreach experiment
A department of the larger organisation
What was the reason for creating this outreach experiment
To dispell the idle gossip and malicous rumours attributed to the Illuminati
This thread is to allow discussion on the ideas put forward by this group and also the ideas of Adam Weishaupt
Speculation is also welcomed for consideration
But if you wish to pooh pooh the ideas without proof of perceived falsity
You will be peeing in the wind
my lodge is a lodge for funeral directors since there are 7 of them in my lodge.

American Farmers have clearly had their own secret societies also...
What secret society for farmers is there?
