The Illuminati | Secret Societies 2

Welcome back Ordo Extra Historia Inniates as we take you on a journey into the depths of secret societies. In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the origins, rise, and fall of the illusive Illuminati. From its inception by Adam Weishaupt to its demise under government scrutiny. You'll discover how this society spread its influence through Freemason lodges, recruiting intellectuals and officials alike, and uncover the truth behind the conspiracy theories that continue to shroud its legacy.

Great video! In the wrap-up, I hope you discuss how often even "fun" conspiracies end up in an antisemitic place. Particularly in the context of how often Jews end up being the "puppet master of puppet masters" in conspiracy theories, even those involving organizations like the Illuminati.

Great video, I loved learning more about the real Illuminati, interestingly, The Cynical Historian mentioned them in his video on moral panics, I recommend it. Link below, https://youtu.be/7pyiLdRWdy0?si=Za7FBh9scGDJWlap

I like this series a lot and has taught me something. Cults maybe be mysterious but it ain’t that bad nor scary or spooky as I thought.

Ah, the Illuminati...inspirerers of numerous conspiracy theories ranging from the vaguely plausible to the slightly silly to the downright ridiculous, and, I'm guessing, also an inspiration for the Assassin's Creed series, as well as angerers of the Supreme Chicken for failing to supply it with an inadequate amount of grain. If there are any Illuminati members watching this episode, since your organisation is pronounced IlLOOminati here in the UK, does that mean your focus is on control of the world's toilets?
