2012 and the new world order..

Whenever conspiracy theory is uttered, the mysterious "Illuminati" (enlightened ones) are most often named as being responsible. Ironically, however, while many, many people can presumably point those conspiracies to be belonging to the other conspiracy groups, the "Illuminati 2012" is always left hanging as some secret, shadowy entity which no one can quite describe. Interestingly too, no one can quite identify what specific acts can be attributed to them - everybody's got their own lists. But no one in 225 years seems to have succeeded to make the organization reveal their secrets.

Briefly, the background of the Illuminati 2012 puzzle is this. On May 1, 1776 (May 1st is “Grand Climax,” an important day for Satanists), in Bavaria, Dr. Adam Weishaupt, a professor of Canon Law at Ingolstadt University and a former Jesuit, formed a secret society called the Order of the Illuminati within the existing Masonic lodges of Germany. Weishaupt wrote his philosophy of Illuminism, which calls for a one-world government and religion that controls the population. It outlined that private property was to be abolished and that its master plan was to be carried out in secret. Since Masonry is itself a secret society, the Illuminati 2012 year, was a secretly mentioned within a secret society, a mystery inside a mystery, so to say.

The Illuminati’s was deeply at odds with the Catholic Church which condemned them wholeheartedly. Their short lived group was eventually banned in 1784 when Karl Theodor, the ruler of Bavaria, made all secret societies illegal. But because of Freemasonry's careless involvement and the misuse of Freemasonry by the Illuminati's founder who had become a Mason, the legends of its continued existence and influence persisted into the twenty-first century tying the organizations somehow together.

Some researchers claim that Weishaupt’s philosophies influenced the writings of the Communist Manifesto. Furthermore, claims are made that members of the Illuminati aided the rise of Communism. It is believed that the Illuminati have infiltrated European and U.S. positions of power and are behind the scenes influencing policies and world events. For example, The Order of Skull & Bones, a secret society based at Yale, is believed to be an American extension of the Illuminati 2012 end date. Members of the order include Averill Harriman, Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and John Kerry. And now there are many speculations that the current US president is involved as well.
