Why Should I Care About the Illuminati?
Since I became a libertarian five years ago, and especially since I became an anarchist about 2 years ago, I've come across a lot of people who are completely obsessed with groups who secretly hold all the power.
It makes sense that there's a lot of overlap between conspiracy theorists and libertarians/anarchists. A distrust of government and their narratives leads people to go to other sources to find the truth. Conversely, a belief in conspiracy theories would breed a distrust of governments or anyone who holds power. I'll let that word serve as a lead-in to my point...
I Don't Care Who Holds the Power.
Seriously.
I don't care if it's the New World Order, the Rothschilds, the Bildeberg Group, the Illuminati, Satan worshipers, shape-shifting Reptilians, subterranean civilizations or any combination of those.
Frankly, none of these seem any more dangerous that those whom the general public accepts as the powers-that-be. Our "representatives" (I vomit in my mouth a little bit every time that word is used) routinely pollute, extort, kidnap, rape, abuse, and commit mass murder. Are these crimes somehow worse when they're committed by the hand of some secret Big Bad?
As long as any man or group holds power over anyone else, there will be systematic abuse.
This is why I don't obsess over any conspiracy theories. It doesn't make a difference who's holding the stick, because the results are the same; I end up beaten. What's far more important to me is getting out from under the hand of my abuser.
No Matter Who the Real Rulers are, the Solution is the Same
Authority is derived from the collective delusion that some men have the right to rule over others. We will have rulers as long as people continue to believe in this myth.
From what I've seen, I think this obsession with the secret rulers of the world distracts from the real problem. Those caught up in these conspiracy theories, even anarchists, seem to have a mindset that these rulers are somehow less legitimate than the public face of government because they operate from the shadows. The real truth is that all governments are illegitimate. Operating publicly isn't any more legitimate or virtuous than operating in secret when the entire job is violent domination.
They are all the same, and because of that the solution is always the same:
You can find freedom by recognizing the reality that you are not owned by anyone but yourself. As more and more people come to terms with this irrefutable truth of human existence, there will be no power large enough to dominate us. No Illuminati, no New World Order and no lizard people are strong enough to force 7 billion free people into submission.

P.S. I'm not saying that a world free of government will be a utopia. There will always be individuals who seek power and who want to hurt others. But when we stop believing that anyone has the right to those things, the abusers will have a much more difficult time accomplishing their goals on a large scale.

Agree. I do think being aware of a larger picture, in many levels, helps with perspective though.
For instance, if someone actually thinks that the White House and Congress are calling the shots, then they'll expect the system to work, at least to some degree, and be fixable through the system itself. If your perspective is that these rulers are actually puppets, then your delusion that the system can be repaired diminishes greatly. You start to view things differently and check out of the system, seeing it as a tool of those who view us as pawns.
It was this sort of realization that helped me overcome my patriotistic idolatry, and begin pursuing freedom for the sake of being free. It really seemed to go hand in hand with my growing humility and empathy toward other people too. I haven't really analyzed that, but it seems like they coincided, even if only chronologically.
Thanks for your thoughts on this. Good stuff.
This is a good point. Conspiracy theories, or even just learning more about the inner workings of government can go a long way to helping people see what I said in the article is the "real issue." Realizing that the system isn't what you thought it was may help a person start their journey to the truth about earthly rulers
Zactly!
I agree wholeheartedly. I will say I often wonder if those kind of theories are encouraged, they take attention away from the evil right under our nose.
Great post. Re-steemed!
Thanks!
The problem is size.
When any organization get's too large it's self interest divert from the self interest of people.
From the perspective of people the organizations go insane.
It's a well known phenomena...the insanity of crowds has been discussed for a long time.
The only way to stop the madness is a widely distributed, massively redundant, highly parallel network.
Spooky Scary
Some are trying to discredit and make fun of the whole illuminati thing like this channel https://www.youtube.com/user/ThePeladophobian. But most people watching this channel will look into what the illuminati is and that's when you enter the rabbit hole. Every publicity is good publicity.
My goal here isn't to discredit or preach in favour of any conspiracy theory. My goal is simply to draw attention back to the real issue.
I know man, I never said that :)
Cool, just making sure :)
I think a lot of people fall victim to the trap of obsessing about the bad stuff that rulers are doing, in the open or in the shadows. I've gone down that rabbit hole as well. Certain events, such as 9/11 are "helpful" in making people question the nature of authority, and in that's a good thing... But on the whole, I think we gain a lot more by exercising the liberty that we do have. They can't stop us thinking, they can't stop us singing, and they can't stop us dancing.
Nice post!
That is fine for you, but for someone who has looked heavily into the subject, written a 480 page book on the "Illuminati", they are a concern for serious reasons. If you do no know your enemy how do you expect to actually defeat them? For beginners according to Adam Weishaupt's own documents as soon as their group's modernization and centralization of the various occult groups under the House of Rothschild as the "Illuminati" was only to be their name until discovered, at which point they would go by no name, thus they can only be identified by their doctrines. So calling the powers that financially control this planet "Illuminati" is a misnomer, much like the MAFIA = Mazzini Autorizza Furti Incendi Avvelenamenti aka Cosa Nostra = This thing of ours, that the "Illuminati" created, and also "Bilderberg" which has no actual name, the "Illuminati" have no name. Just as Adam Weishaupt said they would a long time ago. To ignore this conspiracy means you are ignoring vast amounts of legitimate evidence that they exist and are still operating today, employing the same game plan from hundreds of years ago. So the obvious answer is to why it matters... They wrote their plans down an we can read them. They are the enemy of a free humanity and they are not unequivocal about it, they wrote it for all to read. Why wouldn't you study and understand your enemy so you can defeat them?
Just for fun, I figured this out, if you type "Illuminati" backwards into your browser, (they have used mirrored writing since the days of Da Vinci), you go directly to the NSA website. Try it www.itanimulli.com and tell me that isn't freaky.
Explaining TTIP, TTP and almost every law we have today:
I explained how the enemy is defeated in my post. No power can exist without the belief in that power. No group can have authority over a population that doesn't believe in authority.
I highly disagree. Just because people don't believe in something doesn't mean it doesn't have power over them. The whole reason the powers that be are called the Occult or "illuminati" is because they rule by secrecy, no one really quite understands who is at the top of the power structure because it is hidden. Furthermore the masses already don't believe in that "Illuminati Mess" - Beyonce, they think it is all just stupid conspiracy. However the evidence is overwhelming that they do exist and are the ones manipulating society and programming the masses through systemic indoctrination via the education system and the entertainment system. While also conditioning them with the police and nanny state society whilst they have enslaved everyone with financially to pay for it all. Most people don't believe in this, they think they are free already. That type of thought has lead us to where we are now. If we do not accept the reality, that there does exist a group of powerful central bankers and occult figures behind them, how do you ever expect to take their power away? If you don't counter their programming by explaining to people the meaning of the symbols, so they can see the programming for what it is, thus removing their power from them. How will you break people from the Panopticon Information nightmare we live in. I will say it again, if you do not understand your enemy, you cannot defeat your enemy. They clearly have power over society despite no one believing in their authority including yourself, so how does that one thought even if implemented remove the Military Police State, the Financial system, etc.? It can't you need an actionable plan, with realistic legal authority, and because of the reality of their control over every country on the planet, you need a monopoly on force to free yourself from their control. It's just a fact. Ignoring them and saying, I'm am free if I say I am free, doesn't do a thing. Go ahead try it. Whilst I keep trying to get people to enable Article 5 of the US Constitution to fire the entire federal government and then we can take away their military from them by taking America from the central bankers control. Americans are the only ones in modern times who have freed ourselves from the central bankers and we can do it again. But we have to know who the enemy is, and have a legitimate plan to defeat them. If we stick our head in the sand and say the illuminati doesn't exist, I am free no matter what, we will end up we are already headed.
