Preface 

  The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction is a book that separates and analyzes the various claims and evidence about the Illuminati, their history, beliefs, members, organizations, and activities.  This is a supplement for my first book on the subject, The Resistance Manifesto, which focuses more on the New World Order, the 9/11 attacks, Big Brother, and how the political agendas of elite secret societies are fulfilling Bible prophecy. 

  The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction focuses more on the Illuminati secret society and historical evidence pointing to its existence and actions.  The trail of information discussing the Illuminati is traced back to the original sources, as each one is analyzed with regards to its authorship and the information found in each source.  This book is also about debunking various frauds, exaggerations, and disinformation involving the organization and also highlights the rare instances that the Illuminati or subsidiary organizations are mentioned in mainstream media or incorporated into fictional films, books, and TV shows.  The motives for the writers incorporating such ideas in their fictional works are also analyzed.  Their intentions are not always to educate people about the Illuminati or tell a captivating story, but instead is sometimes an attempt to spread disinformation and make the audience believe that certain actual conspiracies are the creation of Hollywood or a novelist, when in fact they actually happened. 

The deeper one goes down the rabbit hole, the more bizarre the information becomes.  When one is new to this path, what appears to be a misunderstanding, an exaggeration, or a lie, often is found to be factual and thoroughly documented by reliable sources.  In this book I have taken an objective and skeptical view of the topic and have sifted through the volumes of information to get to the truth and the sources which lead to its discovery so we can leave the fiction, distortions, and lies by the wayside and not be fooled or distracted by them.  While some of the allegations and stories about the Illuminati sound far-fetched, you will find, as the cliché goes, the truth is stranger than fiction.

About the Author 

  For most of his life growing up Mark Dice had a burning desire for understanding the spiritual and mystical principles at work in the world and in his own life.  His quest for truth, knowledge, and wisdom lead him on a path to find answers to the difficult questions one can ponder when seeking a comprehensive understanding of their existence. 

  He searched for answers to the struggles of humanity, of war and poverty, of love and hate, of wealth and power.  His hunger for knowledge led him to discover a powerful secret society and their pivotal, yet hidden role in the world.  He found that the mysteries of life and world events were not so mysterious once he began to understand the workings of the Illuminati. 

  Mark meticulously researched and documented his findings to share with anyone who had the same burning desire to understand the world and their place in it.  In 2005 he published The Resistance Manifesto, his magnum opus exposing the hidden Illuminati’s plans for a New World Order and the organizations and philosophies that accompany it.  He immediately became active in exposing the lies coming from the elite Illuminati who maintain political power around the world.  While being only twenty-eight years old when The Resistance Manifesto was first published, Mark immediately gained the respect and endorsement of best-selling authors twice his age.  Veteran researchers Jim Marrs, Texe Marrs, Anthony J. Hilder, and other younger film makers such as Alex Jones gave their endorsement to Mark and his Manifesto. 

  Mark has a gift for explaining esoteric and complex issues in a way that can be easily understood by almost anyone and meticulously cites the sources of his evidence.  

  While having respect for all authentic religions and belief systems, Mark Dice is a Christian and holds a bachelors degree in communication.  He lives in San Diego, California.

Introduction 

  The infamous Illuminati secret society has remained the focus of so-called “conspiracy theorists” for hundreds of years.  They have been called the puppet masters who secretly pull the strings of the world’s events from elections to revolutions, and from business monopolies to stock market crashes.  A significant number of researchers and ordinary citizens have varying degrees of suspicion that somehow, somewhere, a secret agenda is continuously lurking behind the scenes.

  When unexpected events occur in the world, these people don’t see them as a random occurrence, but as the work of an unseen hand which has orchestrated or encouraged these events to happen for the personal, professional, or financial gain of certain individuals.  Often such speculation is given the label of a “conspiracy theory” and dismissed as imaginative thinking.  Yet many of the world’s events don’t make complete sense, even to the so-called experts who study them.  Something is missing from a solid explanation.  There is more to the story than meets the eye, but these supposed experts are often afraid to speculate on what that missing piece of the puzzle is.

  People look at catastrophic events like the attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and wonder how such a thing could happen without law enforcement and intelligence agencies knowing about it.  People look at the mortgage collapse of 2008 and the following economic repercussions of bank failures and government bailouts and wonder how such a thing could happen.  People see their standard of living going down and a two income household barely able to get by and wonder how can this be?  People hear on the news that child molesters and rapists get out of prison after only a few years, yet others are locked up for decades after getting busted with some marijuana.  

  So people turn to the television to keep their mind off such things.  With the push of a button their mind is relaxed with the soothing images of watching beautiful contestants compete to be this season’s American Idol, or they get an adrenaline rush as their favorite football team scores a winning touchdown with just seconds left on the clock.  These things make sense to them, and it’s what others will talk about the next day at work and if they want to feel connected with others then they had better participate in these pointless activities. 

  The fact of the matter is that when you step back and take a closer look at the world that we are living in and at what really matters, at the sources of information we habitually rely on, and assemble various pieces of this mysterious puzzle called life, a different picture begins to emerge.  What should be the top story on the evening news is mitigated to a small and unsuspecting article in the back half of the paper and is completely omitted from broadcast news.  What should be contained in celebrity gossip magazines is found as the top story on the major TV networks.  Why does this happen?    

  When one discovers the very concrete reality of secret societies and their influence and power, one begins to see things much differently.  When one discovers, as in recent years, the growing credible information about these secret societies, their membership, goals and accomplishments, one sees a gaping hole in the legitimacy and accuracy of mainstream media and general knowledge.    

  Any talk about a “conspiracy” or secret agenda being carried out by an organization of rich and powerful men is almost always countered with laughter by the average Joe who mindlessly follows the herd. 

  Is it that hard to believe an organization of powerful men has made a pact with each other to secretly further their agendas?  Is it that hard to design a self-perpetuating structure that would allow such an organization to continuously function regardless of who specifically occupies any one position at any given time?  Is it far-fetched to think that these individuals would purchase and control the mainstream media and use this powerful tool to further their goals? 

  One of the first reality shows ever created was called Survivor, which began airing in May of 2000.  The show featured sixteen people who were put on a secluded island and competed for one million dollars as each week a contestant was voted off the show by their fellow castaways.  As the show went on, several people on the island would secretly make an agreement to help each other out at the expense of others who were not part of their agreement.  The outsiders had no idea such an agreement was made, and if and when ill will fell upon them, they didn’t suspect anything other than bad luck.  But unknown to them, they were a victim of a conspiracy.  A victim of the workings of a secret society within the group of contestants. 

  As future seasons of Survivor were aired, the secret alliances would become a common theme of the show to viewers who had an eagle eye of the workings of all who were on the island.  Devious contestants always found such an idea a practical and effective way to get ahead.

  If the formation of a secret alliance among members on Survivor became a common method to gain advantage over others and to “survive,” is it that far-fetched to believe that similar secret alliances occur in business or politics?  It seems that the idea to form a secret alliance exclusively for the benefit of those involved is a perfectly logical idea, and the best way to protect such an alliance and ensure its success is to prevent others who are not a part of it from becoming aware that such a thing even exists.   

  We know for a fact that secret societies exist in politics, business, and religion.  Many of these associations have existed for hundreds of years.  The existence of such societies spawns speculation from outsiders, and sometimes paranoia.  With little information to work from to formulate a reliable theory as to what these people are doing and what the consequences of their actions may be, it is often difficult to accurately understand the workings of a secret society or alliance.  But just like the most careful criminal, secret societies often leave clues behind.  No matter how many precautions one takes to prevent any knowledge of their actions, it is nearly impossible to execute a plot flawlessly and without leaving evidence behind.  As with some murder cases, the evidence may not be understood immediately after the crime, or it may not even be noticed as evidence at all.  As time passes, other clues from similar crimes may emerge and shed new light on things that were once overlooked. 

  In regards to the Illuminati, clues have been discovered over the last several hundred years.  Something is definitely being kept secret by some very rich and powerful individuals.  A network, an agenda, a source of wealth and power, a reason for the secrecy, and more.  In more modern times starting in about the late 1970s, various people have come forward and claimed to be actual members of this illusive group and said they had defected and turned to Christianity.  These men have told stories claiming to expose some of the history, beliefs, and goals of the Illuminati secret society.  Some of their claims seem reasonable, others stretches of the imagination, and others obvious lies.  Their testimony along with any inconsistencies will be addressed in this book. 

  Also covered are compilations of countless pieces of evidence about the Illuminati, including original writings that were seized in 1786 from the home of one of the members.  These writings are indeed authentic, and there is no scholar or historian who will refute that.  The only refutations are as to whether or not the organization was able to carry on its work in the years following its original exposure to the public, over two hundred years ago.  When one reads the words of founder Adam Weishaupt, it seems impossible that the organization didn’t continue to exist, and later thrive.  It seems foolish to believe that their goals would simply be abandoned because its leadership was discovered. 

  Had Adam Weishaupt not formulated and documented the plans for such an organization, surely it seems that another power hungry diabolical man would have done the same.  After all, if Thomas Edison had not invented the light bulb, surely you would not be reading these words by candle light.  Another man would have harnessed the power of electricity just as effectively.  Such an invention was inevitable, and other men who had no connection with Edison were working towards the same goal.  Cultures around the world throughout history that have had no contact with each other have made similar and often identical discoveries and innovations.  Mankind’s curiosities are similar around the world, just as our moral shortcomings are.   

  The very concept of a secret alliance among men to further each other’s goals at the expense of others and under a shroud of secrecy surly isn’t a novel idea.  Mafias and organized criminal enterprises have sprung up around the world and have similar structures and methods, yet few have been influenced by another. 

  The idea of a secret group which has pledged allegiance to each other over all others should be as fundamental to our lives as falling in love.  And just as this human condition of interpersonal relationships has become a classic theme in Hollywood movies, we should suspect that a similar basic theme would be found as well.  And it is.  A secretive group of bad guys who plot greed, harm, or destruction. 

  While an array of classic Hollywood narratives continue to be produced, with many of them involving secret criminal alliances, it is interesting that a rare number of them will actually incorporate plots very similar to events in reality that are attributed to the workings of the Illuminati.  Even more rare, the name “Illuminati” is actually used to describe the group that is behind the events in these films.  After analyzing Illuminati themes, symbolism, and references in popular Hollywood movies, one can come to no other conclusion than the writers and producers of those very films have detailed knowledge of the Illuminati itself. 

  While they are not producing a documentary film trying to expose the organization like the various ones that will be discussed in this book, one can’t help but think that they are trying to get the point across to the audience in a similar way.  After all, one can learn a lesson from reading the facts, or by hearing a story about such events in the form of a fable or allegory much like Aesop’s fables contain underlying moral messages that are conveyed through fictional stories.  Some of the themes in these Hollywood movies include plotlines surrounding terrorism, mind control, Big Brother, secret societies, and occult mysticism and magic. 

  While some uninformed skeptics believe that when someone talks about the Illuminati they got the idea from a Hollywood movie, the reverse is actually true, and many writers and producers have actually gotten their ideas from the historical and factual Illuminati. 

  In October of 1963 a man named Joe Valachi testified before the McClellan Congressional Committee on organized crime where he proceeded to tell the authorities about the inner workings of the Italian Mafia and how far-reaching their organization was.  He explained how they controlled an array of industries and had police and judges in their pockets from either threats or payoffs.  When Valachi was first taken into custody and began telling police about the Mafia, the story was too unbelievable for the authorities.  They couldn’t understand how a secret criminal enterprise could be so successful and operate without notice in so many sectors of society.  Valachi was locked away in a mental hospital and was thought to be insane.  Only later did authorities realize he was telling the truth and as La Cosa Nostra was uncovered, the extent of their criminal empire began to be understood. 

  The subject of “the Mafia” continues to fascinate people and if one didn’t know their history, they may believe that well known Hollywood movies such as Goodfellas and Casino are entirely fictional, but in fact are based on true stories and the gangsters portrayed in these films did live lives of luxury and incredible influence.  They were also ruthless killers. 

  One can’t help but notice the strange and deafening silence on certain issues by so-called experts in the mainstream media.  How is it that year after year Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Alan Colmes, Bill O’Reilly and others ignore issues surrounding the Illuminati?  Issues with tangible solid evidence that is undeniable.  The annual Bilderberg meeting for example, or the Cremation of Care ceremony at the Bohemian Grove, or true workings of the Federal Reserve Bank.  Surely these are at...
