Recommended: Role of illuminati in modern political events

The Illuminati is a secret society that was established in the late 18th century. Not long after it was created, it was supposedly abolished completely. However, many people believe that the Illuminati still exists today. While the Illuminati is an exceedingly broad topic with many conspiracies involved, the supposed actions of the modern-day Illuminati and the New World Order conspiracy theory are the main topics.

Whether someone believes the Illuminati exists today or not does not change the fact that the Illuminati did, in fact, exist in the late 18th century. The Illuminati, a secret society, was founded in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt (“The Illuminati” par. 1). Adam Weishaupt was a former Jesuit [type of education and a branch off of Catholicism] and professor at the University of Ingolstadt in Germany (“The Illuminati” par. 1). Adam Weishaupt created the Illuminati (which was funded by the International Bankers) in hopes of creating a “one world government” (talked about later) and subjugating all religions and governments in the process (“History of the Illuminati” par. 1). “Some trace the Illuminati back to the Knights Templar, to Gnostic cults, to ancient Egypt, and even to Atlantis” (“The Illuminati” par. 2). Even though the Illuminati started in the 1760’s, some people believe it was started much earlier than that. The Illuminati claim that they helped the Revolutionary War along to weaken the British and to starting the French Revolution to destroy the French Empire (“History of the Illuminati” par. 2). “At their height, the Illuminati claimed over two thousand members…including Goethe, Herder, and many other prominent nobles and reformers” (“The Illuminati” par. 4). However, the Bavarian government started to make secret s...

  • Organized Crime Around the World

    When people think of organized crime they think of the Italian mob and the Russian mafia. They are the ones that they see in movies and on television, and the ones that they hear about the most. However, they were created a couple centuries after their Asian counterparts, the Yakuza in Japan, and the Triads in China. These Asian syndicates were founded in the sixteenth and seventeenth century and consisted of merchants and other people in what was basically the middle class. They were just groups of poorer people who were just looking for protection or were trying to help other people. The first organized crime syndicates were a kind of Robin Hood, they helped the poor. They weren’t big or powerful, and they didn’t have large numbers. The Italian mob was the same way, small numbers and very little power. Over time though, these organizations began to grow beyond even what their founders pictured. As this started to happen, and these organizations became more of a nuisance, governments started to take notice. They began trying to stop them by either slowing the growth or causing them to cease existence. Despite efforts to eradicate organized crime, it is stronger than ever.
