Wow ML, I would have thought that the blue degrees of Masonary would have been far beneath any degree in the Illuminati. I assumed Illuminati degrees would come somewhere after the 33rd degree of regular Masonary. Perhaps I have way underestimeated Masonary.

ive been reading this, im abit dubious on its reliability, seeing he talks of the hexagram as the judiasm sybol, i thought it was a pentegram, if the writer can get that simply fact wrong, what else could he be mistaken about

Hi there,
Does anyone know of any evidence which conclusively shows a connection between the Rothschild family and the founding of the Illuminati in 1776 by Weishaupt?
The Illuminati began as a quasi-Masonic Rite in Bavaria that was orginally called the Order of Perfectibilis, with Weishaupt as Grand Master and Von Knigge as Deputy. The term "illuminati" was popular at the time to describe folks who accepted the principles of the Enlightenment, and Weishaupt officially changed the group's name.

Mozart was in the Illuminati????? What is your source for that?
"Coil's Masonic Encyclopedia" by Henry Wilson Coil, "Encyclopedia of Freemasonry" by Albert G. Mackey, and "New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry" by A.E. Waite. Mozart was also a Mason, and member of Friendship Lodge in Salzburg.
Mozart's last opera was a pro-Illuminati piece called "Die Zauberflote", or "The Magic Flute". The opera tells the story of a wicked sorceress called the Queen of the Night, who represents the Roman Catholic Church. In the opera, the Queen attempts to enslave mankind, but meets a formidable foe in the Illuminati, led by the Hierophant Sarastro.

I've seen so many different writers say "The Rothschilds funded the illuminati" but have yet to see any conclusive evidence for such a big claim. Can anyone help? Thx
