#93 Unveiling the Deep State: George Washington's Concern of The Illuminati's Clandestine Conspiracies and Their Influence on America
At this pivotal moment in time, America finds itself entrenched within a crisis of unprecedented magnitude, one surpassing the gravity of even the tumultuous period of 1776. This isn't merely a crisis; it's a confluence of conflicts. At its core lies an exhaustive information war, but paramount to that, a spiritual battle for the essence of America and the very souls of its people, reminiscent of biblical proportions. The annals of the last fifteen decades bear witness to an insidious proliferation of corruption, tyranny, and moral decay within the fabric of America. The magnitude of malevolence, treachery, sedition, and blatant disregard for the sanctity of human rights, freedom, and liberty, orchestrated by a cabal of global elites driven by insatiable greed and thirst for power, is nothing short of abhorrent. We find ourselves navigating through a juncture in time where the imperative for every American, every patriot, to rise in defiance, to safeguard our liberties and resist the encroaching tyranny lest they slip through our fingers forever. Letters To America serves as a beacon of truth amidst the pervasive fog of deception, illuminating the shadows of deceit that have enveloped our government for generations, empowering you to discern the truth amidst the pervasive darkness of corruption and manipulation, offering insights into the entrenched evils and pervasive corruption that have ensnared our government and compromised the very essence of America, all for the pursuit of personal gain.
Letters to America is a very detailed collection of intel and information based on the truth that the American people need to know about that has been hidden in the shadows and suppressed for far too long. Letters to America is not just a compilation of facts and data; it embodies a profound commitment to unveiling the concealed realities that the American public deserves to be aware of, truths obscured in the obscure corners and silenced by the mainstream media [FAKE NEWS] outlets. It is a repository of untold stories and hidden narratives and agendas, shunned and suppressed by the behemoth of big tech platforms, including the likes of Facebook.

The Illuminati
George Washington, our nation’s first president, carried substantial worry over the Illuminati's clandestine plots and schemes. In a letter to a friend, he expressed a deep-seated concern, articulating his lack of doubt regarding its existence and the pervasive spread of its influence, deeming their doctrines as "diabolical tenets." According to various scholars throughout history, the clandestine objectives of the Illuminati encompass subverting governments and undermining established religions of all persuasions, all in the pursuit of forging a universal brotherhood. Washington's apprehensions highlight the gravity of the threat perceived by many in his era, underscoring the enduring fascination and debate surrounding this enigmatic organization. Indeed, the shadows cast by the Illuminati continue to intrigue scholars, perpetuating a legacy of mystery and speculation through the ages. Their elusive nature and rumored involvement in pivotal historical events fuel ongoing inquiries into their true agenda and reach. Amidst whispers of secret meetings and covert operations, the enigmatic allure of the Illuminati persists, shrouded in the mists of time, beckoning curious minds to unravel its secrets, decode its cryptic symbols, and illuminate the darkest corners of its clandestine endeavors.

Here is the text of his letter:
George Washington
24 October, 1798
Mount Vernon
TO: G. W. SNYDER.
Mount Vernon,
24 October, 1798
Reverend Sir,
I have your favor of the 17th instant before me, and my only motive to trouble you with the receipt of this letter is, to explain and correct a mistake, which I perceive the hurry in which I am obliged often to write letters have led you into.
It was not my intention to doubt, that the doctrines of the Illuminati and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more fully satisfied of this fact than I am.
The idea that I meant to convey was, that I did not believe that the lodges of freemasons in this country had, as societies, endeavored to propagate the diabolical tenets of the former, or pernicious principles of the latter (if they are susceptible of separation). That individuals of them may have done it, or that the founder, or instrument employed to found the Democratic Societies in the United States, may have had these objects, and actually had a separation of the people from their government in view, is too evident to be questioned.
My occupations are such, that little leisure is allowed me to read newspapers or books of any kind. The reading of letters and preparing answers absorb much of my time. With respect, I remain, Sir.
______________________________________________________________
The Illuminati that Washington referred to was created in Bavaria in 1776. The secret society was founded by Adam Weishaupt, a law professor at Ingolstadt University who was inspired by French philosophers like Rousseau and Voltaire. All of these “philosophers” played significant roles in the French Revolution and expressed decidedly anti-Christian ideals. Weishaupt envisioned the Illuminati as a clandestine organization aimed at promoting Enlightenment principles such as rationality and secularism. Through secrecy and strategic infiltration of influential circles, the Illuminati sought to challenge established power structures and advance their vision of a society governed by manipulation and control.
The operations of the Illuminati were largely unknown until 1797, when John Robison published his book titled: Proofs of a Conspiracy Against All the Religions and Governments of Europe Carried on in the Secret Meetings of Freemasons, Illuminati and Reading Societies. Robison was a professor at a university and a Freemason—according to the National Archives, even George Washington had a copy of his book within his personal library. In his book, Robison gave an account of how the Illuminati infiltrated Europe and tore France apart through the French Revolution. The Freemason’s were also invaded by the Illuminati in an attempt to tear down cultural and societal staples like religion, morality, government, and more.
This secret society gathered influence through infiltrating the European Masonic lodges and by bringing powerful men into their fold. According to scholars, the official disbanding of the historical version of the Illuminati occurred after Bavarian authorities discovered that the group had ill intentions. Some scholars, however, suggest that this initial disbanding was ineffective—instead, many Illuminati members could have simply gone into hiding to evade Bavarian authorities. Another argument is that they left Bavaria entirely and traveled to various places in Europe.
Regardless, the ideals established by the original group of Illuminati continue on to this day. In fact, Karl Marx used them in his manifesto; the French Revolution applied the hatred of religion and the embracing of brutality. Even today, we can see remnants of the Illuminati in our colleges and universities, with students learning that religion does nothing but soothe the ignorant, and that rights to private property should be stripped down to the bare essentials. As the Illuminati “disbanded” and their ideas began trickling across the continent, this growing shift in consciousness developed into a rejection of morality and traditional religion—more specifically, Christianity.
DEEPER DIVE INTO THE HISTORY OF THE ILLUMINATI
Although the history of the Illuminati started back with the founding of the Babylonian Magi Cult, and its Kabbalistic and Mithraic beliefs in the sixth century BC, according to Gershom Scholem (1897-1982) (as quoted in Livingstone), the modern version started with the Lurianic Kabbalah (or New Kabbalah) around AD 1630-40 (Scholem 1974:245). As outlined by Livingstone, this was followed by Shabbetai Zevi, in 1666, proclaiming himself to be the Jewish Messiah [emphasis added] (known as the Shabbatean heresy, Frankists, Zoharists, or the Illumined). This was then followed by the leader of the Zoharists, named Jacob Frank (“originally named Jacob Leibowicz, who regarded himself as a reincarnation of Zevi”). Frank taught a “Religious Myth of Nihilism,” or “the way to Esau or Edom”; that the only way to “true life” or liberation was through the “overthrow and destruction of society”; and to “abolish all laws, but to be accomplished in secret.” Frank was imprisoned by the Inquisition in 1760. He was freed by “the conquering Russians in 1773, though, he eventually settled in Offenbach, Germany, dubbing himself baron” (Rosenthal and Dubnow, “Frank, Jacob, and the Frankists,”
The more formal genesis of the Illuminati came with the birth of Adam Weishaupt (its founder); born in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, in 1748 to Jewish parents, who converted to Roman Catholicism and had him attend monastery schools and a high school run by the Jesuits. There, he learned Czech, Italian, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. The Jesuits believed that he would become a missionary. Instead, he rebelled and became a Professor of Canon Law at the University of Ingolstadt. In 1768, Weishaupt began collecting a large library and reading every ancient manuscript he could find. He became especially interested in the Great Pyramid of Giza. In 1770, he befriended a Danish merchant named Franz Kolmer, who had lived in Alexandria and made several trips to Giza. Then, in 1771, he decided to form a secret society aimed at “transforming the human race.” He spent the next five years developing his plan and researching/borrowing from many sources such as, Egyptian occultism, Buddhism, Cabalism (Kabbalah), the Cathars (a European Gnostic religion; the name means “perfect ones”), the Sufis of Islam, the French Revolutionary Voltaire, the Eclectic German Masonry Lodge Theodore in Munich (to which he belonged), and from his Jesuit training.
Griffin outlines the documented formal birth of the Illuminati as follows. Finally on May 1, 1776, the Illuminati (from the same root word for Lucifer, “Bearer of Light” or Enlightened Ones) was founded as a single powerful secret organization to overthrow established civilization and religion, and to establish a Novus Ordo Seclorum (New World Order).
Weishaupt developed the following seven-fold plan as the means to arrive at that goal:
1) Abolish all ordered governments;
2) Abolish private property;
3) Abolish inheritance;
4) Abolish patriotism;
5) Abolish religion;
6) Abolish the family unit; and
7) Creation of a New World Order/One World Government
According to Rev. Seth Payson, who in 1802 wrote Proof of the Illuminati, the Illuminati is symbolized by the Great Pyramid, with the all-seeing eye on top (Great Seal of the U. S. on the back of the one dollar bill), with thirteen levels.
These thirteen levels are divided into three groups:
1) Nursery (Preparation, Novice, Minerval, Illumined Minor),
2) Masonry (Apprentice, Fellowcraft, Master, Illumined Major/Novice, Illumined Dirigens/Knight),
3) Mysteries (Presbyter/Priest, Prince/Regent, Majus, and Rex).
The Order is controlled by the “Council of 13” (Council of 12 + the leader—Weishaupt himself). The true power of the organization was considered to be “circles within circles;” that is the inner-most circle, governed by the Council of 13.
Kirban continues their early narrative history as follows. Weishaupt was joined in this endeavor by Baron Xavier von Zwack (a lawyer) and Baron Adolf von Knigge (a very well- connected Mason). On July 16, 1782, at the Congress of Wilhelmsbad, the Illuminati joined with the Free Masons to form the Illumined Lodges of Masons and moved its Headquarters to Frankfurt (where the Rothschild banking family resided). By 1785, there were fifteen Illumined Lodges set up in the Thirteen Colonies of America. The Lodge in New York had the following famous members in attendance: Gov. Dewitt Clinton, Clinton Roosevelt, Charles Dana, and Horace Greeley. The Lodge in Virginia included Thomas Jefferson as a member. Also in 1785, lightning struck a courier of the Illuminati, who was carrying plans for the French Revolution addressed to the Money Barons. These documents were seized by the Bavarian authorities. Then, four professors, who were briefly in and left the Illuminati, were summoned to appear before the Bavarian Court of Inquiry. Baron von Zwack’s home was raided and additional documents were seized. As a result of the deliberations of the Court of Inquiry, all secret organizations were banished from Bavaria and Weishaupt and his associates were denounced as heretics/occultists. In 1786, the Bavarian Court published their findings as The Original Writings of the Order and Sect of the Illuminati.
Payson adds the following narrative history. Weishaupt escaped to Saxe-Gotha, Switzerland. In Switzerland, Weishaupt reorganized the Illuminati to appear on the surface to be composed of legitimate groups; the German Union and The League of the Just (with sub-groups of Literary Societies and Reading Clubs). He also pursued the Masonic Lodges in France through Count Mirabeau, who formed the Jacobin Society in Paris (which consolidated all 266 Lodges of the Grand Orient in France under one head). Through this newly formed French organization, and with the help of the Money Barons, the “reign of terror” and the French Revolution through 1789 were directed and carried out.
Griffin interjects the following in this historical narrative. Shortly thereafter, two other works were written: Proofs of a Conspiracy Against All the Religions and Governments of Europe, Carried on in the Secret Meetings of Free Masons, Illuminati, and Reading Societies by John Robison, Professor of Natural Philosophy at Edinburgh University in 1797; and Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism by The Abbe Barruel (in French and translated into English by Robert Clifford) in 1798, which further exposed the secret plans of the Illuminati (Griffin 1993:44-9). Also in 1789, the U. S. Constitution was ratified and Art. 1, Sec. 8, Sub. Sec. 5, stated, “Congress shall have the power to coin money (and) regulate the value thereof” (emphasis added). The following year, the central Bank of North America folded, with $12,000,000 in foreign debt and $42,000,000 in domestic debt outstanding. Despite this fact, this central bank was renamed the Bank of the United States of America and was chartered for twenty more years. In 1811 (after the 20-year charter expired without renewal) the central bank gave way to individual “State Banks.” This then gave rise to the War of 1812, which was staged and funded by the International Money Barons. In 1816, the central bank was revived and given another twenty year Charter (Griffin 1993:181-4). In 1830, Weishaupt died at the age of 82. On his death-bed, he feigned repentance back to his Catholic roots, to divert the focus away from the Illuminati. In 1834, Guiseppe Mazzini succeeded Weishaupt and took over the leadership of the Illuminati in Europe.
According to Livingstone, all this time, the Illuminati were developing their “relationships with their brethren occultists in Egypt. . . . to play a pivotal role in the conspiracy against Islam” (Livingstone 2007:141). This plan involved the British spy network recruiting a disgruntled Muslim, Mohammed Abdul Wahhab (1712-1792), as a British agent to legalize the killing of one Muslim by another, under the guise of “Jihad.” In 1746, the Saudi ruling family, from the Aniza tribe (“being secret Jews” and part of the Illuminati family), agreed to maintain political authority in the region and allow the Wahhabis (followers of Abdul Wahhab) to run the cult. In 1776, “Abdul Wahhab declared himself leader of the Muslims of the world . . . In 1792, Abdul Wahhab died, and Abdul Aziz assumed the leadership of the Wahhabi movement . . . Aziz was murdered in 1803 . . . His son Saud ibn Abdul Aziz then succeeded him.” The Wahhabis continued to disrupt and destroy the Ottoman Empire, from within, until Saud ibn Abdul Aziz died in 1814. And, “Despite their initial defeat, the Wahhabis regrouped in Najd, establishing a new capital in Riyad” and made new plans to continue to “dismember the Ottoman State”.
Although the Illuminati were well-established and connected to the International Money Barons by the time of Adam Weishaupt’s death, and appeared to be swelling to another flood from Satan, the Lord continued to raise the standard of the Eschatological Gospel to fight against this new form of the ancient Babylonian Mysteries cult religion (disguised as a secret organization, society or order). Just prior to this and around the time of the French Revolution, the resurgence of the Eschatological Gospel began on several fronts. In 1791, a Jesuit named Manuel de Lacunza (who was living in Imola, Italy) published La Venida die Mesias en Gloria y Magestad in Spanish under the pseudonym, Juan Josafat Ben Ezra. This work outlined the Rapture of the Church, the appearance of the antichrist, the premillennial Second Advent of Christ, and then the millennial reign of Christ on earth. This was a huge step for a member of the Catholic Church (especially a Jesuit), but it actually did more to unite portions of the Catholic and Protestant churches than anything else in nearly three hundred years (From 1791 - 1946). This, coupled with the occurrence of the French Revolution, would lead up to the rebirth of premillennialism in both England and America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Around the time of the French Revolution (1790’s), especially in Britain, there arose a great interest in interpreting prophecy in Scripture. This, in addition to a renewed concern for the state of the Jews and the rebirth of the doctrine of the premillennial Advent of Christ, formed the basis for the rise of British Millenarianism. This movement involved strong advocates from the laity (Scottish Presbyterian William Cuninghame of Lainshaw and James Hatley Frere), the business community (Lewis Way, founder of the “London Society for Promoting Christianity Among Jews”—to help Jews return to Palestine and rebuild their homeland) and the clergy (Rev. George Stanley Faber and Rev. Edward Irving.
Edward Irving moved from Scotland to London to take a parish in 1822. In 1825, he became a disciple of Frere. By 1826, he had translated Lacunza’s The Coming of Messiah in Glory and Majesty into English, established the “Society for the Investigation of Prophecy” (in conjunction with Frere and Way) and began preaching on premillennial eschatology (Flegg 1992:40-50). During Christmastime in 1826, twenty interested laity and clergy were invited by the Honorable Henry Drummond to his Albury Park estate for a week long discussion of prophetic truth. This conference was held the following two years also, and included almost all the millenarian scholars in Britain. This conference idea was to establish a pattern for not only British millenarians in the next century, but for Americans also (Sandeen 1970:18-9).
In 1829, Drummond summarized the conclusions of all three conferences into six points:
1) the Church “dispensation” or age will end in destruction, much the same as the Jewish dispensation ended;
2) the Jews will be restored to Palestine during this time of judgment;
3) this judgment to come will fall primarily upon Christendom;
4) when the judgment is done, the Millennium will begin;
5) the Second Advent of Christ will occur before the Millennium;
6) the 1,260 years of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 ought to be measured from the reign of Justinian to the French Revolution (the vials of wrath, mentioned in Revelation 16, were then being poured out and the Second Advent was imminent).
Also characteristic of this rise of millenarianism was the publishing of periodicals (e.g., Morning Watch, London, 1829-33, Christian Herald, Dublin, 1830-35, Investigator, London, 1831-36).
In 1831, the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the forms of speaking in tongues and prophesying broke out in Irving’s church and caused the focus to shift from premillennialism to the gifts of the Spirit. Around the same time, John Nelson (J. N.) Darby and Benjamin Wills Newton began to turn away from the secularness and laxness of the Church of England to form an independent group (the Plymouth Brethren). This group maintained a focus on apostolic Christianity and premillennialism. During the autumn of 1831, Lady Thedosia Powerscourt (who had hosted Irving during a preaching tour in Dublin) hosted the first Irish Prophetic Conference in her County Wickham home. It was attended by thirty-five clergy, fifteen laymen, and twenty ladies. The main topics were the interpretation of the 1,260 days (years), the corrupt state of Christendom, the imminent Return of Christ, and ways to identify the antichrist. During the following year’s conference, a potential split in premillennial doctrine was identified between the Historicists, who believed that most of the events described by Daniel and John in Revelation were being fulfilled in European history, and Futurists, who believed none of these events had occurred yet, but would occur at the end of the dispensation of the Church, just prior to the Second Advent. The Futurists were also called Dispensationalists and included J. N. Darby and most of the Plymouth Brethren.
The modern futurist concept was not new, but came from a Jesuit Priest named Francisco Ribera, who wrote a five hundred page document on the Apocalypse in 1590. Among other things, this work taught that the antichrist would come at sometime in the future for a literal 3 ½ year period right before the Second Advent (although, Ribera also taught that the Millennium was not a literal one thousand-year period, but the period of time between the Cross of Jesus Christ and the antichrist) (Froom 1948, 2:486-90). Sandeen (1970:38) wraps up this portion of premillennial history with the following. During the 1833 Powerscourt Conference, Darby fully introduced his “dispensational” ideas; the secret Rapture of the Church and a parenthesis or gap between Daniel’s sixty-ninth and seventieth weeks (Daniel 9:24-27).
Darby’s teaching of Dispensationalism included a revived version of the Eschatological Gospel of Both Comings of the Lord Jesus Christ. This then shows the standard the Lord raised up just at the time when the Illuminati were starting to expand their influence globally. By way of continuity, this also leads into the consideration of the Modern Period (from 1830 up to the present day).
