While many Masons have tried to find evidence that Thomas Jefferson was a Mason, none has come to light. Jefferson did write about the Illuminati, and, in fact seems to have sided with some of Weishaupt's philosophies, but it's also clear from his writing that there would be no such need for secrecy if there were an Illuminati in America.
Jefferson, who was a Grand Orient Mason of the famous Nine Sisters Lodge, and apparently a key Illuminatus…

As Wishaupt lived under the tyranny of a despot & priests, he knew that caution was necessary even in spreading information, & the principles of pure morality.

I believe you will think with me that if Wishaupt had written here, where no secrecy is necessary in our endeavors to render men wise & virtuous, he would not have thought of any secret machinery for that purpose.

I wish I could copy and paste parts of the back cover, but alas I can't. The fact that the book is fiction based on fact makes things a bit murky. The Illuminatus Chronicles on stated as being "Historical", which adds to the idea that they're more fact than fiction.
Celine isn't an alter ego. He's a character in Wilson's books.
Researching Robert Anton Wilson, I found this to be particularly interesting:
"Hagbard Celine, alter ego of Robert Anton Wilson"
From this site: www.blackcrayon.com...
The fact that he has an "alter ego" is exactly the kind of stuff that Springmeier speaks about. Alter egos and multiple personalities go hand in hand.
Excerpt from one of the books. Yes. What of it? Are you implying that all authors whose fictional characters write other text (in character) must be victims of ritual abuse? (If so, I can only imagine what you think of Heinlein's Notebooks of Lazarus Long...)

Wilson was writing under the name of one of his fictional characters?
It's really no different than fake bands from movies releasing real albums and going on tour. Spinal Tap, Mighty Wind, and Tenacious D come to mind...

Calm down! I corrected myself after doing further reading. Not many authors create characters, then author books after them as though the book is their thoughts. Strange.

If their is Evil then there must also be Good to balance everything. The Truth will come out and Good will destroy the evil factions of the Illuminati.
Just because evil exists within the Illuminati doesn't mean that the group was intended to be evil. And yes, the goodness shall prevail.
