Is there actually a  secret society whose membership includes nearly every famous and powerful public figure in the world like Beyonce, Barack Obama, Bob Barker, Ketty Perry, Paris Hilton, Donald Trump  ,Bill Gates and many many more. Are they really running the world from behind the curtains? Is illuminati really a group dedicated to absolute control over all mankind and shape the world the way it thinks.???

The illuminati are basically the epitome of conspiracy. The name Illuminati comes from the Latin word, meaning enlightened. The purpose behind this name is to enlighten oneself through knowledge. There symbol is all seeing eye.

But how it all started?? 

In 1776,a secular college professor in Bavaria,Adam Weishaupt  in Germany Was feeling blacklisted by his jesuit colleagues and thus decided to start a society to spread enlightenment era. This Bravian secret society opposed superstition ,religious influence and state authority. Thus their ideals of rationalism, religious freedom and universal human right competed with Catholic Church's heavy influence over public. They were basically concerned about church's inaccurate teaching and they were dedicated to scientific truth.Thus Adam decided to spread his ideas though a secret society that would shine a light on the shortcomings of Church's ideology.  The group included many wealthy and influential individuals promoting ideals of knowledge and reason. In order to carry out his enlightenment process and avoid threat he gave nicknames to the member of his society to maintain it's secrecy. But the order of Illuminati specially excluded Jews,pagans,women and members of other religious groups. He himself adopted the code name Spartacus for himself.

In order to expand their membership base they joined hands with Freemasons,who “person which holds secret missions ”.By 1784,there were around 600 members in the group including scholars and politicians. As Illuminati gained members and power the European monarchs and clergy were fearful of similar revolts in their country so the Bravian government started keeping records of the alleged members of the Illuminati and Duke Karl Theodor in 1784 banned all secret societies fearing their popularity. But ban on something secret is difficult to impose so they remained functional but after nine years of its founding the group dissolved and their records were seized and Adam was forced into exile. 

But still there is no evidence of whether the Illuminati survived, reformed or went underground. But people still claim that they are functional in secretive way and they include famous personalities of the world. And what so ever happens be it assassination of any powerful person or let's take the most recent examples outbreak of corona virus , illuminatis are allegedly blamed.
