	The word "Illuminati" has become a catch-all term for the de facto Rulers 
	of Planet Earth. 
	
	 
	
	Definition is crucial because the words 
	"Conspiracy" and "Illuminati" have themselves become code-words for the 
	occult (hidden) machinations of 
	the Powers That Be. 
	
	 
	
	With the advent of the 
	internet and its rough cut of "news" and disinformation, what was once 
	considered esoteric knowledge has been revealed for all to see. 
	
	 
	
	Even the 'cowans' - a derogatory Masonic term 
	for non-Masons - and the goys - a derogatory Yiddish term for non-Jews - are 
	learning about the Illuminati black magic hoodoo that permeates the 
	planetary matrix.
	
	Illuminati originally meant "the enlightened ones" in Latin, and it refers 
	to those who control the political, economic and social infrastructures of 
	the planet. By their reasoning, they believe they are the (self) designated 
	rulers of Planet Earth.
	
	Also called "Olympians" and "Moriah Conquering Wind," the Illuminati are a 
	"network" of interconnected "bloodlines" who call themselves "The Family" or 
	"The Circle." 
	
	 
	
	Intergenerational satanism, or more accurately Luciferianism, 
	is their primary Belief Structure (BS).
	
	Also don't forget their fatal flaw… The Illuminati consider themselves a 
	tribe apart - Bande à part - a proud super-race who trace their genealogical 
	origin back to 
	
	the biblical Nimrod.
	
	To add to the confusion, people sometimes refer to the Illuminati as the 
	Bavarian secret society which infiltrated Freemasonry - even as the term "Illuminatus" 
	is an actual title in Freemasonry.
	
	Current understanding of the Illuminati comes from first-hand knowledge of 
	mind control survivors like,
	
		
	
	
	Their accounts describe a parallel Illuminati "culture" whose primary goal 
	is to keep the populace "productive" and under control, as their corporate 
	motto promises to deliver, "Ordo ab Chao" (Order Out of Chaos).
	
	This parasitic Illuminati culture also uses mind control programming to keep 
	its own members of the Family, as well as the rest of society, locked in a 
	grid of compliance. (See "Mind Control Slavery and the New World Order", 
	www.conspiracyplanet.com/channel.cfm?channelid=36&contentid=8774)
	
	Various authors have further introduced errors in their "exposés" of the 
	Illuminati by interpreting history with a bias that reflects their own 
	political and religious indoctrination.
	
	For example, the works of 
	
	Fritz Springmeier and 
	
	Cisco Wheeler, while 
	informative about the Illuminati's sociopathic "traditions" (no es mi 
	costumbre) and psychopathic behavior, which includes torture, human 
	sacrifice and mind control, nevertheless belie a Christian programming which 
	adds to the chaos and confusion of trying to untangle history from 
	disinformation.
	
	Likewise even as the writings of John Coleman, author of 
	
	The Committee of 
	300 and Eustace Mullins, author of 
	The World Order, describe various 
	Illuminati organizations which exercise political and religious control in 
	pursuit of their oft-stated goal of establishing a New World Order (One 
	World Government), their asides reveal a rigid Christian fundamentalist 
	mindset which undermines their credibility.
	
	The greatest confusion, however, seems to lie in the connection between the 
	Illuminati and the Gnostics. 
	
	 
	
	For example, authors like Nesta Webster in her 
	book on 
	
	Secret Societies claims the Illuminati can be traced back to the 
	Gnostics. In other words, she frames her argument that Illuminati and the 
	Gnostics are "bad" because they appear to be antithetical to Christianity.
	
	This conflict then refers to the perennial battle between the Gnostics, 
	representing the Mystery Schools, and 
	the Roman Catholic Church which fought 
	fiercely against self-knowledge, mysticism and other metaphysical concepts, 
	inimical to the mind control confabulations of the Vatican.
	
	Today this animosity is evident in the Belief Systems (BS) of Christian 
	evangelicals, among others, who see all secret societies, Gnostics, New 
	Agers, and the like as devil worshippers and ignorant (or conscious) agents 
	of the Illuminati.
	
	
	Not so… The Mystery Schools were pre-Christian mystical communities that 
	were in effect educational centers with libraries and workshops amid a 
	vibrant cultural life.
	
	This just may be the scene of the crime, so to speak, and the origin of the 
	current metaphysical confusion.
	
	Was this where the great ideological schism, or the Dividing of the Way, 
	began?
	
	 
	
	 
	
	 
	
	
	Gnostics vs. Illuminati
	
	Comparative mythologist John Lamb Lash, the world's foremost authority on 
	Gnosticism and esoteric traditions, is the author of the indispensable 
	groundbreaking book 
	
	Not In His Image - Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology and the 
	Future of Belief.
	
	
	According to Lash, Mystery School adepts (so-called Gnostics) were 
	originally members of the Magian order of shaman-initiates whose purpose was 
	to guide humanity as teacher-mystics in pursuit of spiritual/ human 
	evolution.
	
	The controversy began when certain initiates of the Mystery Schools began to 
	abuse their mystical knowledge and redirect it into behavioral 
	manipulation, psychological programming and mind control technology. In 
	essence, the Illuminati gave up their role as teachers to become social 
	engineers and advisors to the Ruling Class.
	
	 
	
	This coincided with the rise of 
	the patriarchal Abrahamic
	
	religions of Judaism, Islam and Christianity, 
	which also required techniques of mind control to keep their followers 
	("believers") in line.
	
		
		"Around 4000 BCE with the rise of urban 
		civilization in the Near East, some 
	members of the Magian order chose to apply certain secrets of initiation to 
	statecraft and social engineering," writes Lash, describing the spiritual 
	devolution of the Kali Yuga. 
		 
		
		"They became the advisors to the first 
	theocrats of the patriarchal nation-states, but in fact the advisors were 
	running the show."
"Their subjects were systematically programmed to believe they were 
	descended from the gods," continues Lash. 
		 
		
		"The Illuminati inaugurated 
	elaborate rites of empowerment, or kingship rituals. These rituals were in 
	fact methods of mind control exercised on the general populace through the 
	collective symbology and mystique of royal authority."
	
	
	Civilization - the Civil Lie in Action - needed an iron fist in a velvet 
	glove from the beginning, and 
	
	the Illuminati were there to ensure 
	compliance.
	
		
		"Kingship rituals were distinct from the rites of initiation 
	that led to instruction by the Light and consecration to the Great Goddess," 
	writes Lash. "Their purpose was not education and enlightenment but social 
	management."
	
	
	The control freak tendencies of the Illuminati are evident everywhere now, 
	as their failure in managing the world financial system is rushing the 
	planet headlong into economic collapse.
	
		
		"Gnostics refrained from assuming any role in politics because their 
	intention was not to change society, but to produce skilled, well-balanced, 
	enlightened individuals who would create a society good enough that it did 
	not need to be run by external management," Lash continues. 
		 
		
		"The intention 
	of the dissident Magians to run society by covert controls was based on 
	their assumption that human beings are not innately good enough, or gifted 
	enough, to create a humane world."
	
	
	Of course Lash is being too "liberal" in 
	labeling the Illuminati as 
	"dissident" since their spiritual betrayal in the Mystery School was more of 
	a bitch slap to Gaia, than the red flag of a covert rebellion.
	
		
		"The difference in views of human potential was the main force that 
	precipitated the division of the Magians," writes Lash, meaning that the 
	judgmental arrogance of the Illuminati who believed they were indispensable, 
	even as they think they're nothing less than "God's gift to mankind."
		
"It's simple enough to see that this mind set would develop the hierarchal 
	structures in society today," Lash continues.
	
	
	True enough. 
	
	 
	
	The 
	so-called Global Elite keep the planet under control 
	utilizing Illuminati Gofers known as,
	
		
			- 
			
			politicians
 
			- 
			
			military personnel
 
			- 
			
			police 
	officers
 
			- 
			
			religious leaders, 
 
		
	
	
	...whose function is to be the shepherds of 
	society - guarding the sheep… until they're ready for slaughter in their 
	endless wars and intertribal rivalries.
	
	People who behave as sheep, or so-called "sheople," are always the ones who 
	suffer the most because of their programming. 
	
	 
	
	Meanwhile the Illuminati 
	Gofers pretend that this is the way it's supposed to be. 
	
	 
	
	This long-standing 
	ideological disagreement in the Mystery Schools has, it appears, resulted in 
	the gross inequities of life on Planet Earth.
	
		
		"The Illuminati program was (and still is) essential to patriarchy and its 
	cover, perpetrator religion," writes Lash, describing the global conspiracy 
	which has conquered the world.
"While it cannot be exactly said that the deviant adepts known as Illuminati 
	created patriarchy, they certainly controlled it," continues Lash. 
		
		 
		
		"And 
	still do. The abuse of initiatory knowledge to induce schizophrenic states 
	('entrainment'), manipulate multiple personalities in the same person ('platforming'), 
	and command behavior through posthypnotic suggestion (The Manchurian 
	Candidate technique) continues to this day, with truly evil consequences for 
	the entire world."
	
	
	Attempting to disentangle the erroneous idea that Gnostics and Illuminati 
	refer to the same characters, Lash writes: 
	
		
		"If we accept that the Mysteries 
	were schools for Gaian co-evolution dedicated to the Goddess Sophia, they 
	could not have been run by the Illuminati, as some contemporary writers (who 
	believe they are exposing the Illuminati) have supposed. 
		 
		
		Everything the 
	Gnostics did in the schools was intended to counterbalance and correct the 
	machinations of the deviant adepts."
	
	
	Right intent once again becomes critical and the radical difference in 
	ideology between the Gnostics and the Illuminati become self-evident.
	
		
		"Initiation involved melting ego boundaries in preparation for deep rapport 
	with nature, not lowering the ego consciousness, so that the subject could 
	be behaviorally programmed using the power of suggestion, imprinting and 
	other psychodramatic methods. 
		 
		
		These behavioral modification tools of the 
	Illuminati were strictly forbidden in the Mysteries overseen by the 
	Gnostics."
	
	
	The metaphysical perverts known as the Illuminati have structured today's 
	society to reflect the manipulation of humankind through religious belief 
	systems, political affiliations as well as the non-stop onslaught of media 
	programming known as "news" and "entertainment."
	
	 
	
	 
	
	 
	
	
	The Defeat of the Illuminati
	
	
	As renegades from the Mystery Schools who betrayed the Mysteries and 
	subverted Gnosis ("Knowledge"), the Illuminati plan to divide, conquer and 
	rule the world has worked quite well because people are easily programmed 
	into belief systems contrary to their own welfare.
	
	As Lash notes, 
	
		
		"Skilled in theology and dialectical argument, the Gnostics 
	were able to refute fanatical beliefs, but unable to protect themselves 
	against the violence driven by those beliefs."
	
	
	In other words Judeo-Christian Annihilation & Apocalyptic Theology sponsored 
	by the Illuminati was responsible for the destruction of the Mystery Schools 
	and the murder of the Gnostics, who were no match for those who perceived 
	them as a threat to their planetary dominion.
	
		
		"Not only were the gnostokoi like [the female philosophy teacher] Hypatia 
	[who was murdered by the Church] apolitical, they deliberately refrained 
	from involvement in politics in order to dissociate themselves from the 
	other type of initiates, the Illuminati who had been enmeshed in patriarchal 
	and theocratic power games from their outset," Lash concludes.
	
	
	The Illuminati may be considered to be apostate Gnostics who abandoned their 
	role of enlightening humankind in order to reap the benefits and 
	entitlements of the Ruling Class.
	
	Now as before the Illuminati continue to move towards their goal - a 
	feverish dream of world domination culminating in the so-called New World 
	Order (One World Government), which simply means Global Techno-Feudalism.
	
	This has always been Metaphysical Warfare. And humankind's choice is once 
	again - Freedom or Slavery.
	
	Maybe the "Know-It-Alls" - a derogatory term used by the Church against the 
	Gnostics - might be able to help them out…
