Illuminati

"Is there a secret world government of the Illuminati?"

Since at the latest the publication of Dan Brown’s novel ‘Angels & Demons’, the Illuminati have become known worldwide. The order was founded in 1776 by the philosopher Adam Weishaupt in Bavaria. Its goal was to spread Enlightenment ideals such as liberty, equality, and reason. A prominent member was Adolph Knigge, a symbol of politeness and good manners. Although the order was banned in Bavaria in 1785 due to its progressive ideas, conspiracy theorists believe it continues to exist and secretly controls the world. They claim to find traces and symbols of the Illuminati everywhere, especially the ‘All-Seeing Eye’ on the one-dollar bill and in music videos by Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé. For them, this is sufficient proof – but not for science.
