ChristLed - The Facts

I challenge anyone here, including "The Amazing Atheist", to debunk the following statement's sound evidence, which will be provided thereafter:

The Illuminati exists to this day within Freemasonry, which is at its highest degree Lucifiarian.

-Common counterargument #1:  "The Illuminati was outlawed and became extinct in Bavaria, Germany, when Duke of Bavaria Karl Theodore implemented increasing edicts to abolish it from 1784-1787."

-Evidence #1 to Refute counterargument:  Consider 33rd degree (highest rank) Freemason Albert Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, a source highly regarded within Freemasonry itself, which clearly states the Illuminati enrolled no less than 2,000 names and extended into Freemason Lodges beyond just Germany - these names comprised some of the most distinguished men of France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, and Italy. Of these were the ruling class: Dukes, Princes, Barons, as well as doctors, scientists, lawyers, professors, poets, and philosophers.

Above we see the Illuminati integrated into Freemasonry (in at least 8 other countries) before ever being outlawed in the singular country of Germany.

-Evidence #2 to Refute counterargument:  Joseph Willard, 11th President of Harvard University, gave the following speech in 1812 (25 years after the Illuminati was supposedly abolished in Germany): “There is sufficient evidence that a number of societies, of the Illuminati, have been established in this land of Gospel light and civil liberty, which were first organized from the grand society, in France. They are doubtless secretly striving to undermine all our ancient institutions, civil and sacred. These societies are closely leagued with those of the same Order, in Europe; they have all the same objects in view. The enemies of all order are seeking our ruin. Should infidelity generally prevail, our independence would fall of course. Our republican government would be annihilated.” -Sermon Preached in Lancaster, Before the Washington Benevolent Societies of Lancaster and Guildhall (Windsor, Vermont: Thomas M. Pomroy, 1812)

Above we see the President of Harvard University acknowledged the Illuminati had continued their existence in France and throughout Europe, and had also established itself in the US.

Note:  In addition, the President of Yale University, Timothy Dwight IV, spoke out against the Illumianti in 1798 (11 years after it was supposedly abolished).

-Common counterargument #2:  "Freemasonry is not evil, they're simply a fraternity that exists to benefit each other and society; they can't be the modern Illuminati."

-Evidence #1 to Refute counterargument:  Consider 33rd degree Freemason Manly P. Hall (who upon his death in 1990, the Freemasonic Scottish Rite Journal noted was hailed as “Masonry’s greatest philosopher”. Hall authored over 200 books and gave over 8,000 lectures on ancient philosophy. He made some of the most important contributions to Freemasonry of the 20th century). Hall states:

"When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy."

We see above our first evidence of Lucifarianism within Freemasonry. However this is just one source, let's see more.

-Evidence #2 to Refute counterargument:  Consider 33rd degree Grand Commander of North American Freemasonry Albert Pike, considered a genius who could read and write in 16 languages. Though he was a confederate general, the U.S. gov honors him to this day with a statue that stands in front of the Capitol building in Washington D.C. (being Grand Commander of the entire continent has its perks). He was head of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.

Pike stated the following in his book, "Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", which is held in high regard within Freemasonry, and for many years was unavailable to the public:

"Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the son of the morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with it's splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual or selfish souls? Doubt it not!"

“Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it.”

If this is still not enough evidence, let's hear one more:

-Evidence #3 to Refute counterargument:  Consider Helena P. Blavatsky (Perfect Mistress, Sublime Elect Scotch Lady, Grand Elect, crowned Princess Rite of Adoption by 33rd degree Sovereign Grand Master John Yarker). Blavatsky founded the religion of Theosophy, which is essentially the Lucifarian religion of the ancient Babylon Mysteries (religion of Semiramis). It was Blavatsky's religious doctrine that inspired today's New Age movement through Alice Bailey. Blavatsky states:

"It is Satan who is the God of our planet and the only God."

Blavatsky's religion of Theosophy provides the Freemasonic doctrine, which is totally and completely coherent with Manly P. Hall, Albert Pike, and numerous others' documentation on the matter:  "Freemasonry, viewed doctrinally, is Theosophy.” -W. Hoste, 1917



Conclusion:  The evidence presented (of which more is available) clearly shows the Illuminati continues to exist within Freemasonry, which itself is clearly shown to be Lucifarian at its highest degree.
