The Illuminati

The Counter Culture Revolution from Secret Societies to Anonymous and Wikileaks

Throughout history governments, dictators and religious leaders have fought to hold power by either force or manipulation. To counter these there have always been secret societies and groups working in the shadows for the emancipation of humanity.

The Illuminati formed in 1776 among European Freemasons and academics with the intention of liberating humanity from physical, mental and spiritual bondage. This brought them into conflict with the ruling elite but during their brief incarnation they encapsulated the entire ethos of counter-culture into a single system of organized dissent that is still relevant today.

Facing inevitable persecution the Illuminati chose to take refuge within a myriad of other societies to ensure their ideals would continue to find a voice in the many counter-culture movements for the next three centuries until they eventually resurfaced as a myth in the 1970s.

The term Illuminati has since became synonymous with the idea of a New World Order devoted to control, enslavement and exploitation at the hands of banking cabals and the world’s elite. But while their name was being usurped by the conspiracy theorists, a new form of dissent was taking shape that upheld their aims. The connected communities of the internet age form the current counter-cultures with Anonymous and WikiLeaks becoming the natural successors to the Illuminati philosophy. Their hacktivist ideals helped them play a key role in the Arab Spring uprisings just the Illuminati were a driving force in the dissent that culminated in the French Revolution.

With emerging technology there is an opportunity for everyone to become an agent of change but the war against personal liberty is growing every day as the corrupt corporations and government agencies try to criminalise privacy and personal freedom. This book is both the story of that that war and a call to arms.

Open you eyes!

I love reading about the Illuminati and the New World Order and this book hits the spot. As conspiracy theories go this has got to be the biggest story in the world, dating back three centuries. As we now know this in a world dominated by a wealthy elite who pull the strings of power in each and every country in the world, more and more people are waking up to the machine that is whirring away constantly dictating our lives and the games being played out on the global stage. This book covers the inception of the Illuminati, and it's relevance today with wikileaks, Anonymous, the media, etc. It's all here.
