THE ILLUMINATI The Illuminati Republic Some people have suggested that Adam Weishaupt, the Illuminati’s most controversial Grand Master, was inspired by the political vision set out in The Republic by Plato. In fact, almost the opposite is true insofar as Plato’s political views were entirely the product of his involvement as a First Degree novice with the Illuminati. (He never proceeded beyond that level because he was expelled for failing to maintain the rigorous secrecy demanded by the Order.) In other words, the Illuminati shaped Plato, not the other way around. Weishaupt simply remained loyal to all of the ancient political positions espoused by Pythagoras as the first Grand Master of the Illuminati. Given that The Republic reflects the Illuminati’s political thinking then Plato’s great work is certainly the place to go if you wish to understand the politics of the Illuminati from the earliest times. Plato’s other political work The Laws is equally valuable. The internal workings and organisation of the Illuminati can be discerned from a close reading of these works. The Illuminati, from its inception, was a meritocracy. Members advanced through the organization on merit alone. The Grand Master was the most meritorious of all, elected by a majority vote of his peers within the organization. Meritocracy uses the democratic device of a vote to avoid selecting by lot or by allowing those already in power to appoint someone. However, only those suitably qualified are allowed to vote. The modern notion of giving everyone a vote for managing the stupendous feat of staying alive for 18 years, regardless of any expertise that they may or may not have acquired, is ridiculous, and a guarantee of bad government. In ancient Greece, meritocracy was known as aristocracy – “rule by the best” i.e. the most talented. Historically, the rich hijacked the word “aristocracy” since they believed that to be the richest was to be the best. In fact, rule by the rich is rightly known as plutocracy, but the rich never liked to view themselves as merely wealthy, so chose not to use that label. They wanted wealth to reflect superior moral and intellectual qualities. The same attitude persists to this day amongst capitalists and libertarians: wealth = superior moral worth in their materialistic equation. Poor people are “evil” because they are poor. QED. (Karmic thinking makes similar claims.) To the Illuminati and to Plato, aristocrats were indeed those with superior intellectual and moral qualities, but one quality they certainly did not possess was wealth. The Illuminati lived as an extremely tightly bound community with no private wealth, and they have even been described as proto communists. No one owned any private property – all property was held in common. Everyone lived in common housing and shared common meals. Each degree of the Illuminati had various “housekeeping” tasks to perform to maintain the community, and the tasks were shared out equally. There was no favouritism or privilege. The Illuminati strove to bring about an enlightened society founded on justice, freedom, community, talent, the universal wellbeing of the people, and the maximization of everyone’s potential, led by the people who had demonstrated the highest merit, as acknowledged by their peers. In Plato’s Republic, the state is run by an educated class known as the Guardians (who are the most meritorious). From their number, a philosopher-king is chosen to serve as ruler of the state. This individual was the equivalent of the Illuminati’s Grand Master. In modern terms, it would be the President, Prime Minister or Chancellor. Capitalists and libertarians have always despised Plato (and by extension Pythagoras), describing him as a communist or fascist, depending on taste and mood. They loathe the way that Plato condemns wealth and supports a form of government that seeks to perfect humanity rather than leaving it to go shopping. Nothing could be more soul-destroying than the “philosophy” of capitalists and libertarians, the ideology of unrestrained greed, unchecked by government. In fact, for capitalists and libertarians, government should not exist at all, making them nothing but anarchists. These people constitute an astounding threat to humanity’s future.

The contemporary political thinking of the Illuminati is a dialectical evolution of Pythagoras’s original utopian state. The dialectic itself now takes centre stage. Every process in a state should reflect dialectical principles. Every aspect of society should be evolving towards perfection. The wisdom, creativity, and aspirations of the people – “crowdsourcing” – should be invoked as much as possible. The idea of elites, divorced from the needs and wants of the people and acting in their own interests, is anathema. Crowdsourcing and meritocracy, working in a continual feedback loop, can provide the engine to take humanity to the next stage of its evolution. The people should be working in partnership with government. They should not be passive recipients of diktats from on high, from a remote government of the privileged elite. Citizens must be active in the moulding of the state, contributing at every level. Government and the people should be hardwired together: there should be no possibility of the government not representing the people’s interests. Any government that is not deemed by the people to be representing the General Will of the people is a tyranny, reflecting only the particular wills of the ruling elite. In the past, the elite burned “witches” – innocent women who dared to think for themselves. Now it’s time that the elite’s mansions and fortresses were burned to the ground. The Tribunes of the People One of the most influential struggles between the rich elite and the people took place in ancient Rome. The Old World Order have made a careful study of this period, and it shapes much of their current strategic thinking. By the same token, the Illuminati also devote much thought to the example set by Rome, particularly since two of the prime protagonists were Illuminati martyrs. Ancient Rome, in its earliest times, was a monarchy. The Roman kings, like so many of their kind, degenerated into tyranny and were violently deposed. The aptly named Tarquinius Superbus (“Tarquin the Proud”) was the seventh and last of the unlamented line. Rome became an oligarchic republic, ruled by the Senate, an assembly comprised of male Senators from, almost exclusively, the most elite Roman families. The Republic was referred to by the letters SPQR: SENATUS POPULUS QUE ROMANUS (“The Senate and People of Rome.”) In effect, this could be translated as The Rich Elite and the ordinary people of Rome. And thus it is in virtually every nation on earth even now: power in the hands of the elite, and the people being pushed around like so many flocks of sheep and herds of cows on their way to the slaughterhouse. The Romans were ferociously militaristic; in fact Rome might be described as nothing but a machine for waging perpetual war. Nearly all of the Romans’ energy was given over to conquest in an endless cycle of wars, or squabbling over the plunder, or savagely fighting amongst themselves to see who would emerge as top dog. In a sense, the Senate was more like a military council, organizing the means for war without end. The Roman state was a well-oiled military machine and most of the male citizenry served in the army for long tours of duty. Enormous amounts of plunder returned to Rome, keeping the economy buoyant. Food poured in from the conquered territories. Prisoners of war were forced into slavery, and they performed the majority of menial tasks. Some of these prisoners were dragooned into becoming gladiators and then compelled to fight to the death for the entertainment of the masses. Some were thrown to dogs, lions, bears and boars as an alternative form of entertainment. Roman generals liked to bring back exotic animals from the faraway lands they had conquered, and then display them for the mob’s entertainment, usually by having them eat slaves alive. (Famously, Christians were amongst those thrown to the lions.) And chariot racing at the Circus Maximus was always popular, accompanied by gambling, heavy drinking and sometimes lethal violence between supporters of different chariot teams, most notoriously the “blues” and “greens”. In the modern day, we have the “Pop Idol” and “X-Factor” auditions as our version of having victims eaten alive in public. No one gets killed, but the same savage instinct to see people destroyed is still there, as strong as ever. No decent person would watch these shows, just as no decent person would have gone to the Coliseum to see human beings being torn to pieces in the name of entertainment. It’s extraordinary how many TV shows are fantastically cruel. They love mocking and jeering at ordinary people, humiliating them and destroying their dreams. From the carnage, a few puppets with pretty faces, mediocre talent, no personalities and nothing to say will be launched to fame and fortune. These are the “darlings of the mob” (and of their OWO controllers). The billionaire media moguls of the Old World Order love serving up this mindless shit to people. It keeps the people dumbed down, and it maintains cruelty at the heart of the body politic. The OWO are terrified of talent, justice and respect being at the heart of our culture because that would signal their own demise. They are creatures of hate that prosper most when hate is maximized (especially in wars, which they are always keen to wage). As for the Circus Maximus, we now have plenty of sports to fill that gap. Sport should be a reflection of human excellence, but it’s increasingly just a cynical exercise in corporate branding, mass marketing and ultra-capitalism. The stars are ridiculously overpaid. Their faces are plastered on billboards all over the world. They are part of the “star economy” that gives enormous riches to a lucky few while screwing over everyone else. The OWO stand behind most sporting “franchises”. They relentlessly exploit people’s obsessive support for their favourite team. You can get credit cards bearing the badge of your special team...and you pay extra for the privilege. What do credit cards have to do with sport? Why do people fall for this nonsense? Many people approach sport with an almost religious fervour. That shows you how far true spirituality has fallen by the wayside. Many men, week after week, sit around drinking beers, discussing “the game”. They have an encyclopaedic knowledge of all the statistics relating to their team for the last fifty years. Yet ask them about anything important and they will stare at you blankly, or as if you’re a lunatic. The amount of energy they devote to becoming experts in trivia is remarkable, as is the lack of energy they expend on doing anything significant with their lives. The ordinary citizens of ancient Rome were anonymous and had little to occupy them. Some were shopkeepers, some were artisans, some were bodyguards, minor officials, and so on. Many didn’t have meaningful jobs since the slaves performed most of the basic tasks. Hence arose the Roman policy of panem et circenses – “bread and circuses”. As long as the Senate could feed the masses and keep them entertained, the Roman “mob” was reasonably easy to control. Now the Elite have TV, cinema, video games, iPhones, iPads, iTunes to keep the masses entertained and preoccupied, and junk food to keep them bloated and immobile. The “mob” have never been so easy to control, and they actually pay the Elite for the privilege of being controlled. The song “Perfect Game” by The Thompson Twins has lyrics that are all too appropriate: They don’t know what to call us Because we don’t have a name But they still know how to force us To keep playing the perfect game So if you want to find out why you call someone insane Just sit inside the building where they’re playing the perfect game Isn’t it time for a new game? Let’s make the Elite the prancing clowns. We’ve danced to their tune too long. Enough muzak. It’s time for the rebirth of music. It’s time for the Soundtrack of the Revolution.
