I have always been quite fascinated with secret societies. Especially, those who "move power" within the government. And, how they have actually shaped our country, so far. I wonder though, if there are really any difference in human elements-other than superior power-these secretive organizations, that they could very well secretly "buy" a country, like the United States.

Good Read... What I find interesting is that individuals are actually contradicting there own beliefs. Let me explain, the Knights of Templar were the ones that were fighting the Holy War in an attempt to take back Jerusalem. Thus, Christians... the Catholic Church disbanded the Knights of Templar to maintain power. The feared they could lose followers and money of course. So the Knights of Templar went into hiding and banded to together for protection, they adapted, and changed. Some good...some bad. So I don't know about you but if an organization (Catholic Church) that I (example Knight of Templar) pledged my life for, and devoted my life service to decided that one day I need to die because my job is no longer useful, and doesn't meet the monetary needs of the organization. I think I would be a little pissed, and I sure as hell wouldn't roll over and let them stab me in the back. I'm not saying I agree with either side that is corrupt, just being objective. Oh, the Illuminati actually means "the enlightened" compare this to Voltaire or John Lock dealing with a Social Utopian way of thinking... not worshiping a light. Read a little on Adam Weishaupt there is a "motto" if you will I believe is quite enlightening, and far from demonic. If anyone out there thinks that politics are not preselected... well... look up the name Bilderberg and look who was at the 2008 Chantilly, VA conference highly selective and private not much news. Then look up which Dem. was there all the way back to Wilson. The Dem have Bilderberg, and the Rep have Sk.Bones, Fre.Mas, etc. They all have someone greasing their palms. It would be beautiful to have purity in politics but nope. To continue your education look up who really owns the Federal Reserve... might surprise you. Happy hunting and remember to keep heuristics and biases away from the table at all times... objectivity. ?????????????????????? jux copy nia>>>>?????

The people who are really responsible for the fix we're in today, as well as the Dark Ages, are revealed by Joseph Atwill in his book Caesar's Messiah, now also on scribd.
