At the conclusion of Part 2, I quoted Alan
Axelrod as saying John
Ruskin was “a student of the ILLUMINATI,” and
I said that Cecil Rhodes
was a student of
Ruskin’s at Oxford University
in the 1870s. Also in the 1870s,
Wilhelm Wundt established the first
laboratory in experimental psychology at the University of Leipzig. Wundt’s
grandfather, Kirchenrat Karl Kasimir Wundt, was a member of the Illuminati
(code name Raphael), according to the “Illuminati Provincial Report” from
Utica dated September 1782 (see Richard Dulman’s Der Geheimbund Der
Illuminatum, and a good source for original Illuminati documents is
www.bavarian-illuminati.info).
That Wilhelm Wundt’s grandfather was a member
of the Order, of course, doesn’t guarantee the grandson was an adherent of
the Illuminati’s principles. However, it is noteworthy that the “Father of
Progressive Education,” John Dewey, was a co-author and signer of the
first Humanist Manifesto (1933), and Dewey’s mentor, G. Stanley
Hall, was the first of Wilhelm Wundt’s American students.
The Humanist Manifesto’s principle
that ethics are autonomous and situational is basically the same as
Illuminati founder Weishaupt’s principle of “do what thou wilt.” And the
values of secular humanism have been taught in American public schools for
at least the last 50 years.
Shortly before
Cecil Rhodes attended Oxford and Wundt set up his laboratory in Leipzig, another individual
like Weishaupt who believed in liberty of thought was Albert Pike. In
1871, Pike authored Morals and Dogma, in which he explained:
“Everything scientific and grand in the
dreams of the Illuminati, Jacob Boehme, Swedenborg,
Saint-Martin, and others, is borrowed from the Kabalah…. Liberty of
thought… universal Fraternity! A new doctrine, a new religion….”
Pike praised Lucifer as the light-bearer,
as did Alice Bailey whose works were first published in the early
20th century by Lucifer Publishing. In A Treatise on the Seven Rays:
Esoteric Psychology (1936 and 1942), she described the goals and
characteristics of what she called “the Illuminati of the world.” To Bailey,
this Illuminati was comprised of the enlightened ones,
people
enlightened by Lucifer. And Bailey emphasized the need for a “new world
order” and “points of light” connected to “service,” just as President
George H.W. Bush later did in his presidency.
But before having a global “new world order,”
a reshaping of America into President Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” had
to occur. Given the terms “great society” and “new world order” (a type of
global great society), the latter of which would be characterized by a
diminished national patriotism, is it purely coincidental that in John
Robison’s Proofs of a Conspiracy (1798) about the Illuminati, he
related that once one became an Illuminatus Minor “the pupil is…
convinced that it is a possible thing to unite all the inhabitants of the
earth in one great society…. [
Then] it may frequently be no hard task to
make him think that patriotism is a narrow-minded monopolizing sentiment.”
This would enable the Illuminati to “rule the world,” a purpose of the Order
according to Robison.
While many people understand that the
Illuminati existed and may have dispersed throughout Europe, they doubt that
the Order came to America. However, in Augustin Barruel’s Memoirs
Illustrating the History of Jacobinism (1798) there is a joint juridical
deposition by former Illuminati members Joseph Utzschneider, Georg
Grunberger and Johann Cosandey before Elector Karl Theodor (September 9,
1785) in which they indicated they were informed by several of their
“Brethren” that
“this Sect [the Illuminati] under
different names has already spread itself in Italy,… in Austria, in
Holland, in Saxony, on the Rhine,… and even as far as America.”
Edmond Charles (Citizen) Genet spent a good
deal of time at the Lodge of the Nine Sisters in Paris which was frequented
by the Illuminati. In 1793, he became French Envoy to the U.S., and then set
up “Democratic Societies” such as the Mingo Creek Democratic Society in
western Pennsylvania that fomented the Whiskey Rebellion of July
1794 (they wanted to secede and set up their own country there).
President George Washington considered
Genet a threat to the U.S. and
asked him to leave the country. Washington later (October 24, 1798) wrote a
letter to Rev. G.W. Snyder expressing his concern over the influence of
the Illuminati in America, stating:
“It was not my intention to doubt that
the doctrines of the Illuminati…had not spread in the United States. On
the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am.”
[See a longer quote at the bottom of this page]
You can see the original handwritten letter
in the “American Memory” section of the Library of Congress website.
Earlier that year, on May 9, 1798 in
Charlestown, South Carolina (where citizen Genet originally landed on April
8, 1793), Rev. Jedediah Morse preached the following:
“Practically all of the civil and
ecclesiastical establishments of Europe have already been shaken to
their foundations by this terrible organization [the Illuminati];
the French Revolution itself is doubtless to be traced to its
machinations…. The Jacobins are nothing more nor less than the open
manifestation of the hidden system of the Illuminati. The Order has its
branches established and its emissaries at work in America. The
affiliated Jacobin societies in America have doubtless had as the object
of their establishment the propagation of the principles of the
illuminated mother club in France.”
Then, less than two months later on July 4,
1798, Dr. Timothy Dwight, President of Yale University, delivered a
discourse in which he claimed:
“In the societies of Illuminati doctrines
were taught… [such as]: The being of God was denied and ridiculed;…
the possession of property was pronounced to be robbery;… adultery,
assassination, poisoning, and other crimes of the like infernal nature,
were taught as lawful and even as virtuous actions. To crown such a
system of falsehood and horror all means were declared to be lawful,
provided the end was good….
Of the goodness of the end every man is
to judge for himself…. The great and good ends proposed by the
Illuminati… are the overthrow of religion, government and
human society civil and domestic. These they pronounce to be so good,
that murder… and war, however extended and dreadful are declared by them
to be completely justifiable if necessary for these great purposes….
With unremitted ardor and diligence the
members insinuated themselves into every place of power and trust, and
into every literary, political and friendly society; engrossed as much
as possible the education of youth, especially of distinction, became
licensors of the press, and directors of every literary journal;…
Enlisted in their service almost all the booksellers and of course the
printers, of Germany;…. In the private papers, seized in the custody of
the leading members of Germany, several such societies [of the
Illuminati] are recorded as having been erected in America, before the
year 1786.”
The threat of the Illuminati’s philosophy was
especially felt in Pennsylvania after the Whiskey Rebellion to such an
extent that the President of the County Courts of the Fifth Circuit,
Alexander Addison, felt the need to present “A Charge to the Grand Juries”
of those courts’ December 1800 sessions titled “Rise and Progress of
Revolution.” In this presentation, Addison referred to a
“Conspiracy to destroy the principles
which adorn, support, and connect civil society, and to bring men back
to the savage state of Nature. Such was the object of the Illuminees or
the Illuminati… with the daring ambition of governing the whole world….
All Government… was to be abolished; that an absolute and despotic
tyranny might be exercised over the whole earth…. Have we no fear that a
similar [to Europe] conspiracy exists here?”
Addison concluded by asserting that the
spirit of Illuminati “seems to exist in America… by the same means,
by secret societies, by the press, by occupying publications and places of
instruction…. That the press is used… will not be doubted by any who see the
unprincipled similarity of publications.” It is noteworthy here to mention
that Cecil Rhodes’ Secret Society of the Elect’s purpose was
“to take the government of the whole world,” and with J.P. Morgan’s money
buy control of America’s newspapers.
