Ok, my daughter comes home from school today (she's a senior) and tells me they're teaching on Illuminati at school. I had no clue what she was talking about so started doing some research. Now my brain is overloaded with way too much info! lol

My research took me to:

Illuminati - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

| Illuminati News | The Secret Order of the Illuminati

The Illuminati


Anyway, I first thought this is just some kind of conspiracy theory, but some of these "secret society" type groups have existed in history. I'm not sold on whether they exist today or not.

I guess the questions I would like to pose are:

Should this be "taught" in schools?

Do you believe there is some "secret society" controlling things?

How do you feel such a group impacts your life and the world as a whole?


Note: this is not intended as a conspiracy theory thread, but merely to discuss the concept of such groups and their validity and impact

I'm positive groups exist that seek to give mutual benefits to their members. I'm sure some are secret.

But one great conspiracy? Nope.

After reading through the first link you provided it seems to me that the original Illumaniti were much more likely a group of freethinkers, people who were more apt to write and agitate for more rights and respect for those lower in the order of the time, somethign that would eventually trickle down.

Those who outlawed the Illumaniti seem more like the monsters who want to control everyone else.

Which of course is a brilliant ploy.

I think yuo should ask yuor daughter jsut what she learned in school. Teaching about real groups and contrasting them to modern myths having the same name is I think a good thing. Perpetuating the myths is not.

I don't see a problem teaching about it. I mean it's a real part of history. They teach about the KKK and Masons don't they? You don't have to agree with the group to teach it as part of history.

To this point, what was the context? History class? Politics? Also does she attend a private religious school?

I saw a post on another board a while ago where a mother was outraged (by the antisemitism) that her son was being told of a incident where some Jews were tortured and killed for attacking a catholic boy. Turns out the story in question was from Canterbury Tales and being taught in history.

An odd subject, considering my high school education, but okay.

Don't believe everything you read on the intarwebs :)
Anyway, I first thought this is just some kind of conspiracy theory, but some of these "secret society" type groups have existed in history.
Yes they have, and the Illuminati is an actual group.
I'm not sold on whether they exist today or not.
Most likely they do, to some degree

I guess the questions I would like to pose are:

Should this be "taught" in schools?
Depends on what they are teaching.
If they are teaching the historical roots and outgrowth of the Illuminati, then I don't see an issue with it.
If they are teaching the kids that the Illuminati "controls the world" (to whatever degree), then I would have issue with that

Do you believe there is some "secret society" controlling things?
I personally believe that there are several societies, secret and otherwise, influencing things. And no, I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all (no matter how fun it is to read about such).
Control is far too strong a word in my POV.

If you are concerned about it at all, perhaps you should ask the teacher for the curriculum in regard to this part of the class, to see what they are actually teaching, just to put your mind at ease.

Yeah I suspect alot of it is conspiracy theory stuff, but I do agree groups like this did exist in history. I'm not sold they still exist. I have explained to my daughter that its fine to be well educated about everything regardless if you don't personally agree with some of the teachings, its still good to be knowledgeable.

On a personal level, it is a little worrisome if any of this would be true, yikes!

If your daughter is a senior, isn't she old enough to be doing this herself? I mean, no offense, I guess I'm just resenting what seems an unnecessary drain on your own time.

Its not like that. She values my opinion and when something comes up in the curriculum she brings it to my attention to review it with her. I had honestly never heard of the Illuminati so I did my own research. The school she attends tends to go beyond what I recall "normal" curriculum was (I also attended the same school). They really like to challenge the students and get their minds thinking "outside the box", which is good, but sometimes it gets a bit odd.

I do feel there are people in positions whether it be of wealth or power that do influence the world and do make decisions that influence us all, all being done without our knowledge, now whether they're organized into some kind of secret society or not, I just don't buy it.

Good day to all of you! I just want to share some secret to all of you who wants to know the truth and who had been intrigue about the existence of the secret society. To start, I would like to discuss to you the meaning of the eye inscribe in the pyramid in the dollar bill. It had been a misconception that the eye represents an evil deities,evil eye and that the people behind these symbol are worshiping Satan. I would like you to know that the eye simply represents everybody.It represents us being held innocent after committing sins against God and His subordinates. The eye in the dollar bill implies us with limited seeing capability.God had deprived us to see Him and His angels ever since as old as the time of Adam and Eve.It was for the purpose of isolation due to immortal offense. The triangle simply represents a seal. A seal that impair us to see the truth.And the truth shall only be granted to chosen people who perfected himself in Gods favor. I'm not part of illuminati but like the illuminati we held and keep secret regarding the eye inscribe in a triangle which had been misconceived as the eye of God,eye of evil,etc.... Actually our sealed eyesight can be opened again. There are words, we call the hidden words, to unveil the mystery and opened our eyes again but only a few like us have the "book of knowledge" hidden for thousand of years,(the bloodlines),like the illuminati could do such thing.But remember that being innocent is a bliss and bless are we who have not seen everything.Seeing everything like the elements and energy,and the angels around us is a worst scenario and catastrophic in the sense that due to electronic broadcasting in the advent of technological advancement,the earth nowadays seemed like hell already. The rays in the eye inscribe in a triangle have corresponding names(we can call it orations) significantly arranged to enable anybody using it to see the unseen. But having the opportunity to see the unseen does not bring us in a vantage point. There is a strict rule behind it and how I wish to share it with you but only the bloodlines are given the chance to know. Of course we worship God.A supreme God in Heaven and not a God on earth. Though God's subordinate are always given respect who rules the earth, particularly the universal judges and the creator of animals for a sustainable life and developing respect as the vital virtue leads towards perfection of once attitude to live with them and be accepted in God's dominion. Proof of some using the power are those faith healers who conduct operation/incision to cancer patient using bare hand.Then the wound heals after a few minutes.The fact is, the faith healer is using tools unseen by ordinary eyes.The faith healer removes the triangle impairing Him to see truth.He is assisted by angels removing cancer cells with knives and scissors coming from unseen people.But to exercise such practice needs some skills developed for quite awhile like real medical doctors. Despite such exemption of course we will never forget that we are only humans like the rest of you. And hopefully despite the difference when it comes to the potential, you will treat us as not descendants of evil. Basically the dialect of God is not english,nor latin or filipino.There words are what we call now as hidden and its a family treasure and these treasure rooted from the very beginning of time.Hopefully your misconception on the sealed eye inscribe or imprisoned in a triangle will not continue. I came from a family of spiritual healers and Im proud of it.Although I a Roman catholic with pagan practice of praising the saints and praying to Mary there is an exemption because I know the truth.Unlike to many Christians who were just thought of the mere history of the Jews or Hebrews with no spirituality in it but only faith,I know the truth.You're just like knowing the rumors around you .Don't judge and you shall not be judged.

Conspiracies have happened throughout history. Its only recently that talking about those conspiracies has become ridiculed in the US. The rest of the world has a firm belief in them. You just have to follow the wacky logic to realize something other than the cover story is behind current events. ie The US is occupying Iraq because a dozen Saudi terrorists crashed a few planes into some buildings ten years ago.

I guess the questions I would like to pose are:

Should this be "taught" in schools?

Yes, but because people who write laws determine what schools teach its sort of a mute point. For instance. The Federal Reserve banking system is the biggest scam in US history, yet it is not taught in most public school systems but you can bet condom use is.

Do you believe there is some "secret society" controlling things?

Its a fact that secret societies control things. Look up the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberger conferences. Try to find out the specifics of what their objectives are and how they are achieving them.

How do you feel such a group impacts your life and the world as a whole?

The control strategy from the top down of government and corporations, to include law legislation and media. You tell me how that affects society.

Note: this is not intended as a conspiracy theory thread, but merely to discuss the concept of such groups and their validity and impact

I know from personal experience that those kinds of organizations exist locally. I've offered you something to look up as far as international groups like that.

The Illuminati, Bilderburgers, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Federal Reserve, and oh, yes, the evil David Rockefeller and the Rothschild banking family: my favorite conspiracy theory!!!

Yes, the CFR. That is another good one to look up.

It will never be thought on school for the welfare of everybody because unveiling the secret is a misfortune and was a misfortune like what had happen in the story of Atlantis.The Atlantians abuse their power. And if it will be thought nowadays it will abuse as well and it will only cause doom. Even us,the descendants are trained to be very disciplined to avoid abese and for equality among men.

It is vivid that the union,U.S.,Britain and the rest of the allies governs the neighboring countries but if you will ponder unto it,you will realize that it is for the common good. Avoid war but unity, that's their motives. It's the "new word order",unity.These is not the Time of Moses with His War God of Fire. Warlords were dead men.the Norse and the Greek War Gods were gone. there s no conspiracy in it. The control is for all of us.But I dont think that illumaniti was and is responsible for such control.

When i think of the illuminati, I think of the people that killed tupac and various other stars that spoke out. But then again you guys probably dont know who tupac is.

Well, I dont know who tupac is but I dont agree with you, consistently accusing the spiritual group of people,the illuminati. The war was not illuminati's responsibility and the killing of your tupac buddy. Illuminati are religious people holding top secrets.Pagans who had been ruled by evil caused the war. Romans were Pagans before and they conquered the world in World War I with millions of death and ever since then corruption ruled the land. Illuminati will remain in their faith and conceal all secrets.
