Many people confuse the Illuminati with the Masons, but in fact the Illuminati and the Masons are completely different organizations in nature.

The origin of Freemasonry

There are many theories about the origins of Freemasonry. After all, it is a secret society. When did it originate? Who started this secret society, there is no definite answer.

Freemasonry — it means free masonry. The prevailing view is that Freemasonry evolved from a medieval stonemason’s union. The most knowledgeable profession in medieval times was stonemasonry. This is the equivalent of the present-day architect. All the construction of churches and palaces was done by stonemasons. Therefore stonemasons in the Middle Ages, the social status was very high. The stonemason’s craft was passed down from generation to generation. There were very strict construction rules. And stonemasonry was done in secret. So the European nobility loved and feared stonemasons. Because the palaces of the nobility were built by masons. Stonemasons were also able to build cannons.

The European nobles wanted to control the masons. However the stonemasons did not want to be controlled by the nobles. Thus, they organized a secret society — Freemasonry. This is also the most mainstream view.

Since Freemasonry is a secret society. So how do we know that Freemasonry exists?

In 1717, a Masonic Lodge was established in London, England. So people knew that such an organization existed. This lodge in London, England, is the earliest known place where Freemasonry originated. And such Lodges are found all over the world.

The American Lodge is now the largest in the world. There are more than two million registered members. These Lodges around the world are run independently, without interference from each other.

In ancient times, Masons were composed of members of the stonemasons, but later on the main attraction of successful people. According to the Masons. The rich are brought in as members, is a contribution to society. Masonry emphasizes the contribution to society, not only limited to money, also to attract talented people.

The origin of the Illuminati

The origin of the Illuminati is quite clear, as it was founded in 1776 by Johann Adam Weishaupt [1], a German.

Johann Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati in Bavaria. Bavaria was a large city-state in the southern part of the medieval German Confederation. Johann Adam Weishaupt was a genius. He received his bachelor’s degree in law at the age of 20. At the age of 24, he became a university professor. In the Middle Ages people went to school not only to learn knowledge, but also to study theology. Johann Adam Weishaupt did not share the ideas of the doctrine that Jesus preached. So he studied the theology of ancient Egypt instead. Later he aspired to build a new world of freedom and equality.

Initially, he established the Illuminati with only three people. Later on, he desperately tried to attract members. The Illuminati soon developed. And some of them are Masonic members also joined the Illuminati. Some of the Masons who joined the Lodge thought Johann Adam Weishaupt was a talented man. So they dragged him into the Masons. Later he used his status as a Mason to bring in other Masons to join the Illuminati. Johann Adam Weishaupt was a real talent.

The modern-day Illuminati is organized by a foundation called the Lucifer trust. This foundation is located at 666 United Nations Plaza in New York City.

The trust is a permanent resident of UNESCO. The most dominant faction in the Illuminati is the Luciferian faith. Lucifer is the fallen angel. When Lucifer falls, he becomes Satan. The Illuminati believe in Lucifer, and in essence their purpose is to establish a new world and a new order.

The Lucifer trust is financed by a very wealthy and ancient family, the Rothschilds. The Rothschilds were a Jewish family. How rich are the Rothschilds? At least ten times richer than Bill Gates.

It is said that the Nazi Germans went to fight the Jews for the purpose of the Rothschild family’s property [2].

The Jews

Speaking of which, we must mention the Jews. Jews give the impression that they are very good at business. How could the Jews be so good at business? The ancient Roman Empire invaded and bloodily suppressed Israel. The ultimate goal of ancient warfare was to take over the land. The Jews were displaced throughout Europe to make a living as merchants. Ancient farmers were a very noble profession. Business was a very lowly occupation. So the Jews who went around were only discriminated against by the locals forcing them to go into business. Later, with the development of the times, Europe flourished in commerce. So the original peasant class began to engage in business. But the peasant class certainly could not catch up with the Jews who had been in business for thousands of years.

The Jews were constantly being expelled. The Jews were displaced from their homes all day long. Jews who have no sense of belonging, all beliefs are rooted in money. If you have money, you have a stable life. Without money, there is nothing. So now the Jews are rich, now the money earned from business to buy back the land. Most of the land in the restored state of Israel was bought by the Rothschilds.
