The Illuminati: The Story Behind The Symbols

BY SABRINA VICTOR

The Illuminati, one of the greatest conspiracy theories of all time, has found its way into popular culture. Artists such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Kanye West have performed throwing up their Illuminati symbols and this has triggered the young generation’s fascination with this secret society. Whether it’s true or not, this topic of high popularity and interest has caused people to start questioning the structures and actions that surround them in daily life.

Modern Illuminati

The Illuminati is a secret organization of the most powerful and elite people in the world.  It includes a cartel of international bankers and industrialists based in Western Europe and North America. Famous families such as Rothschild, Rockefeller, Morgan, Lazard, Warburg, Schroder and Schiff are suspected to be part of this organization. Several modern fraternal groups claim to be the “heirs” of the Bavarian Illuminati and have openly used the name “Illuminati” in their rites like “The Illuminati Order” and “Ordo Templi Orientis.” The Illuminati is also suspected of recruiting celebrities into their society like, Jay-Z and Beyonce, whose daughter’s name, “Blue Ivy,” backwards, “Yvi Eulb,” translates to “Lucifer’s child” in Latin. It is also believed that the Illuminati are responsible for the death of Tupac Shakur after he refused to join the society and denounced them in several songs.

History

The Illuminati, also known as the “enlightened ones” is the center of one of the biggest conspiracy theories of all time. Although some may believe the Illuminati collapsed in the late 1700s, there are many firm believers in its existence today. The Illuminati was originally founded in Bavaria in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, a student of the Jewish philosopher Mendelssohn, and the Rothschild family.  The alleged society has always been based off of Freemasonry, which members of the Illuminati controlled during the 18^th century. Freemasonry is a secret institution in which members at one level don’t know what members at another level are doing. Having 2000 members over a span of 10 years, many politicians and intellectuals were believed to be part of this secret society, such as Ferdinand of Brunswick and Diplomat Xavier von Zwack. In 1777 Karl Theodor became ruler of Bavaria and his government banned all secret societies, causing Weishaupt to flee. All of his and Von Zwack’s documents were seized and then published by the Bavarian government. About 10-15 years after the Illuminati’s downfall, Augustin Barruel’s Memoirs illustrating the History of Jacobinism and John Robison’s Proofs of a Conspiracy publicized the theory that the Illuminati survived.  It also represented an ongoing international conspiracy, claiming the Illuminati were behind the French Revolution.

Goals of the Illuminati

This society of international bankers, top government officials, leaders in the energy cartel, and media monopoly owners has one goal, to control the world through a one-world government. In order to reach this goal they crave to have total control of financial systems, the media, and universities. Currently, they set up the council on foreign relations, the Bilderberg group, and the tri-lateral commission. The Illuminati are also believed to have control over the U.N. and federal agencies.

The Dollar Bill & the Illuminati

On the back of the American dollar bill is the pyramid of Egypt and above it reads “Annuit Coeptis,” which in Latin translates to “our enterprise is now a success.” While beneath the pyramid the banner reads “Novus Ordo Seclorum” which means “New World Order.”  At the bottom of the pyramid are the roman numerals for 1776 and people believe that instead of representing our independence, this number is meant to represent the year Adam Weishaupt founded the Bavarian Illuminati.  Right below “Annuit Coeptis” is the all-seeing eye with light emanating around it, a symbol of freemasonry, and this is believed to show the influence of freemasonry on America. Lastly on the dollar bill is the sequence of the number 13 in the amount of layers on the pyramid, letters in the Latin phrases, and stripes which represents Masonic symbolism.

Denver Airport

Located 25 miles from Denver on a plot of land encompassing 53 square miles, sits the Denver International Airport. The Denver Airport was commissioned in 1989 at a cost of $1.7 billion but when the airport was finished in 1995, 2 years late; it came out to costing $4.8 Billion. The airport was privately funded but nobody knows by whom, since the marker in the terminal reads, “the airport was funded by The New World Airport Commission” which doesn’t exist. The theory behind this airport is that the largest underground bunker in the world lies beneath it, specifically a 360,000 sq. foot bunker built by the New World Order to house elites in case of economic collapse or nuclear holocaust. Hints that the Denver airport is hiding something big are everywhere, starting with the Masonic symbols and murals clearly depicting the end of the world. When you first arrive at the Denver International Airport, “Mustang,” a 9000 lb. and 32 ft. tall blue cast-fiberglass sculpture of a horse with red shining eyes, greets you. Upon entering, murals line the wall portraying refugees living in a basement and the Lord of Death, brandishing an AK-47, and killing the dove of pace. Gray waves pulse from the figure and the waves pulse outward, killing everybody in its path. The Lord of Death also wears a gas mask implying the gray waves; the instrument of death in this case, is a biological weapon. There is also a biological warfare mural that has the symbols “AUAG” on the ground in front of it and one of the founders of the airport discovered a new, deadly strain of hepatitis in Greece known as Australia Antigen, also called AUAG. It has been rumored that AUAG could be a potent weapon in biological warfare. There are also several other murals suggesting the “rebirth” of the world after the killing of the Lord of Death. The final mural is oddly reminiscent of the Garden of Eden; the world now lives in peace after the horrific events that have taken place. When you view the murals in a sequence it depicts a massive genocide followed by the formation of a now less-populated, harmonious new world. Finally, there is a demonic figure crawling out of a suitcase. For the bunkers theory, there is a blueprint of 5 buildings that were mysteriously buried during the early days of construction on the Denver Airport. These five large buildings were fully constructed and said to have been ‘positioned’ incorrectly.’ Instead of being demolished the buildings were buried. Airport authorities refer to them as underground bases and claim they are being used for storage. This proves there is an underground structure beneath the airport.

Whether the theory of the Illuminati is true or not, it will continue to be one of the biggest conspiracy-theories of all time.
