Behind the Myths of Tall (and Absolutely True) Tales of the Illuminati, 1776 to Today
‘Garden parties’ feature far more than Ricky Nelson’s hit single narrating an embarrassing performance before a large crowd of fans, which included many of his peers. Defined as “a social event held outdoors on a lawn or in a garden,” a garden party rarely expands beyond intimate private gatherings, and can include fraternity and sorority parties limited to member brothers and sisters or, at the most elite levels, political economic summits, meetings esoteric in nature, soirées featuring Mensa members or the British socialist think-tank known as the Fabian Society. The most secretive however appear to be the annual Bilderberg Meetings, where between 120-150 political leaders and experts from the fields of industry, finance, academia and the media convene for informal discussions about megatrends and other major global issues and agendas. Such organizations owe their existence to the philosophes during the 18th Century’s Age of Enlightenment, whose most notorious organization, the Illuminati founded by the Bavarian scholar Adam Weiskampt on May 1, 1776, has spawned more than two centuries of conspiracy theories about extraordinarily wealthy puppet masters plotting to create a ‘new world order’ in their own image.
The true legacy of the Illuminati remains both transparent and opaque. Through spurious claims and unsubstantiated rhetoric by charlatans seeking profit from their patrons’ anxieties like Alex Jones, Jesse Ventura and Mark Dice, the legacy of Weishaupt includes accusations of collaborating on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, while through the Roman Catholic Church and the ‘Jewish bankers conspiracy’ as perpetuated by the apocryphal The Protocols of the Learned Elders of the Council of Zion, the Illuminati continually influences popular fiction through literature and films such as Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons, as well as Foucault’s Pendulum by Italian novelist Umberto Eco, while references to the Illuminati appear in several video games, such as the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Indeed, as National Geographic’s Isabel Hernández notes, “The 18th-century German thinker Adam Weishaupt would have been stunned if he had known his ideas would one day fuel global conspiracy theories… to discover that this outwardly respectable professor was a dangerous enemy of the state, whose secret society, the Illuminati, was seen to threaten the very fabric of society.” An orphan and descendant of Jewish converts to Christianity, Weishaupt’s scholarly uncle took care of his education by enrolling him in a Jesuit school, whereupon completing his studies he was appointed professor of natural and canon law at the University of Ingolstadt. On the surface, nothing about this brilliant scholar, husband and father appeared extraordinarily threatening before at the age of 36 in 1784, when the Bavarian state learned of his radical ideas.
