The global power of freemasonry - Gnostic Liberation Front

The Illuminati General Adam Weishaupt wanted people that we
today call "opinion makers" (that is priests, writers, government
officials), to be turned into the willing tools of the Order, after which
they in Weishaupt's words, "were to surround the princes", that is in
their capacity of advisors to influence political decisions in a favou-
rable direction for the Illuminati.
At the initiation into the Order the new brother had to promise: "I
shall never use my position or my office against a brother."
To this corrupt group loyalty did, however, not concern the
brothers as individuals but only as tools for the invisible power of
the order. This power could equally well be used against the brothers
themselves, that is if "the end" (Weishaupt himself) demanded so.
Weishaupt's disciples had to accept a well-considered study pro-
gram and work through various complicated ideas until they had
acquired the title 'Areopagite' (as those of the council of ancient
Athens, Areopagus). The highest Illuminati (the 13th degree) were
called the invisible areopagites. According to Weishaupt a lie
repeated often enough, is accepted by public opinion as truth. Those
that accepted the Illuminati propaganda, were to be categorized as
liberals and humanists. Others were to be discredited.
As the more conservative and patriotic ruler, Duke Karl Theodor
came to power in Bavaria, he issued a ban against all secret societies
on 22 June 1784. Another even sharper decree was proclaimed the
following year on 2 March 1785.
On 11 February 1785, Weishaupt was discharged and forbidden to
live in Ingolstadt and Munich. At the same time, the university was
informed that Weishaupt would be arrested. On 16 February, he went
underground and was hidden by his Illuminati brother Joseph Martin,
who worked as a locksmith. A few days later he fled from Ingolstadt
to Nuremberg dressed in the working clothes of a craftsman. He
stayed in Nuremberg a short while and then travelled on to the free
city of Rathenburg where he continued his activities, but then a
stroke of fate occurred that put the police on tracks of the Illuminati
(Sofia Toll, "The Brothers of the Night", Moscow, 2000, p. 291).
