Illuminati History and Basics

Illuminati

The very word brings to mind images of conspiracy theorists ranting about a New World Order and world leaders having secret meetings and rituals to decide what events are going to take place. Some of it sounds too incredulous to believe, but what if that’s what ‘they’ are counting on?
