The Illuminati was founded in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt. They started off as an elitest revolutinary group with strong occult overtones, mingling magic with politics ina scheme to abolish all monarchies and form an "ideal" one world government (New World Order). This new world order would be led by "enlightened ones" . The original Illuminati borrowed heavily from the Masonic Order, now called Freemasons. Without getting to much into detail the masons began in ancient times beging with the Babylonian king Nimrod. He was the first mason. Then when the Jews were enslaved by the egyptians it became part of the egyptian culture. Fast forward to medieval times. By the 17th century the Mason guilds have evolved into full fledged freemasonry with it's apron regalia, symbols and signs, passwords, and secret handshakes. As time went on many innflunetial people were involved in this. George Washington, Ben Franklin, Paul Revere, John Hancock, and in recent times George Bush sr., d**k Cheney, only to name a few. Okay to get back to the new world order...what is the goal? Destruction of the "flawed" world and it's rebirth crafted by the illuminati how they want it. Novus Ordo Seclorum on the one dollar bill means "Dawn of the New Age." To acheive this 3 things must be done: 1) The creation and Destruction of Primordial matter 2) The sacrifice of the Divine King 3) The bringing of Prima Materia to Prema Terra. The creation and destruction of matter took place in 1940 with the first test of the atomic bomb. The sacrifice of the king was the JFK assassination. and the third are the rocks brought back from the moon. Curiously enough a lot of those rocks are missing from the NASA storage facility. So...what does it all mean? All I can say is watch the news, things are starting to happen. It's okay to be paranoid!
