THE ILLUMINATI: TRIUMPH OF TREACHERY
On the night of Wednesday, the first of May 1776, three men gathered at
the house of a young law professor, Adam Weishaupt, in the Bavarian
town of Ingolstadt. They had decided to found a secret order to undermine
the social system, at first called the Orden der Perfektibilisten (The Order
of Perfectibilists). Weishaupt had been working on the plans for this order
ever since 1770.
Among the three guests were two of Weishaupt's students: Prince
Anton von Massenhausen, who had helped work out the rules of the
Order, and Franz Xaver Zwack, only registered as a member on the 22nd
of February 1778. There was also another man who later went under the
pseudonym Tiberius, though nothing more is known about him. The
historian Nesta Webster (actually Julian Stern) claimed that the French
Count Honore Gabriel Riqueti de Mirabeau, a member of a Dutch
Masonic Lodge, was also among the founding members.
All the members used pseudonyms in connection with their work.
Weishaupt called himself Spartacus, Massenhausen became Ajax and
Zwack Cato. The historical Porcius Cato had demanded the total
destruction of the city-state of Carthago. Mirabeau was called Arcesilas,
but in 1786 his alias became Leonidas (Nesta H. Webster, "Secret Socie-
ties and Subversive Movements", London, 1924, p. 205). Mirabeau was a
famous French orator who had contracted enormous debts. Weishaupt
came into contact with Mirabeau through certain Jewish bankers. Mira-
beau was blackmailed into joining the Illuminati. (Nikolai Dobrolyubov,
"Secret Societies in the Twentieth Century", St. Petersburg, 1996, p. 23.)
Cities and areas that were important to the Illuminati were given ancient
names: Ingolstadt was called Ephesus, Munich Athens, Bavaria Achaia,
Vienna Rome, Landshut Delphi, Austria Egypt and so on. With the help of
confiscated documents, it can be seen that the Illuminati used the Persian
calendar, where October was called Meharmeh, November Abenmeh,
December Adarmeh, January Dimeh, etc.
