From Wikipedia: 

" Historically the name refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776 to oppose superstitionprejudice, religious influence over public life, abuses of state power, and to support women's education and gender equality. The Illuminati were outlawed along with other secret societies by the Bavarian government leadership with the encouragement of the Roman Catholic Church, and permanently disbanded in 1785.[1] In the several years following, the group was vilified by conservative and religious critics who claimed they had regrouped and were responsible for the French Revolution....... It was made up offreethinkers as an offshoot of the Enlightenment and seems to have been modeled on the Freemasons."

Important to note that (1) they never were a masonic organization (although some Masons were members) and (2) they haven't existed since 1785.

State what he is saying that you want light.   I (we) can't guess what you want light on or which video.

The Illuminati is dead and outlawed.   Anything or anyone calling themselves 'illuminati' is clandestine and not part of Freemasonry.

You didn't ask a question.  ... Just ask everyone to search youtube and the videos of a  particular person and comment.   This is trolling to pump stats and an attempt to legitimize clandestine videos by regular Masons.

I totally agree.

One test of their non-existence: since the entertainment industry has bandied their name about in the past few years to the point of extremes, yet not a single member of the Illuminati as spoken out or has issued a lawsuit against members or segments of the entertainment industry that has virtually libled or slandered them openly.

Why no law suits? Because the Illuminati does not exist. The name is being used as a self-fulfilling prophecy or for misdirection for the purpose of scapegoating irrational or controversial behavior on the part of actors and actresses.

Now the 'name' Illuminati is in the public domain and can be abused with impunity. Ooooh the boogeyman/Illuminati will get you.

There's some rap celebrity out there who has all these kids believing that Masons and Illuminati are one in the same and you can't convince them otherwise. Its truly frightening how the entertainment industry has these kids (and lots of adults) brainwashed about this and many other things.

Hi droche,

Yes. And its not just a single individual spreading the propaganda, Hollyweird has this obvious hidden agenda with several dozen of its entertainers coming out claiming to have joined the Illuminati (Beyoncé is one such example). Remember fifty years ago Hollyweird blamed the mafia for everything? Now its blaming the Illuminati for young innocent celebrities becoming, essentially, vamps (such as miley cyrus or Brittany spears or Lindsay lohan .... etc. etc.)and having 'wardrobe malfunctions' in public. There is even a youtube segment done on this tragedy called 'What have they done to their minds' produced by some Christian organization. This blatant abuse really makes me sick.

The infamous "illuminati"... Well as most brethren say it was destroyed, and along with it the former brother who straid from the craft and created such a "group".Adam Weishaupt is no longer a brother after that choice by the way. If you say you are an illuminati then so be it. Freedom of speech and you will be as you think you are in your own mind. To me a person claiming to be an illuminati mind as well claim to be a rock under a candle light. It is your choice but be careful what you claim to be because one day you will be called out in life as in death as well. "Not speaking to anyone in particular just the only way I could get it out" Hope this helps.

Fraternally,

Brother Larry

This is from Wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt.
--------------------------
The Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name given to several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically, the name refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776. The society's goals were to oppose superstition, prejudice, religious influence over public life and abuses of state power, and to support women's education and gender equality. The Illuminati—along with other secret societies—were outlawed by the Bavarian ruler, Charles Theodore, with the encouragement of the Roman Catholic Church, and were permanently disbanded in 1785.[1] In the several years following, the group was vilified by conservative and religious critics who claimed that they had regrouped and were responsible for the French Revolution.

That's a really good entry and it lacks just one salient fact and that is that they were not members of the Illuminati, although they were referred to as that, but of the Order of Perfectibilists

some friends and I were sitting around talking, and I was wearing a new mason hoodie,( in which I wear proudly everywhere)a friend of a friend asked me if I was a mason,and I said I was, oh man, the things this person was going on about, I said you watch to much T.V, and spend to much time on the internet.so, I tried to shed some light, that all of those things are lies, after an hour or two of trying to convince him that,we as masons do a lot of good, the next thing that came out of this ol boys mouth was that people like the shriners do a lot of good things for children, and other things...my friend and I just started rolling, and he asked what was so funny, and we told him, a lot you know about anything, in order to be a shriner, you must become a mason first. the look on his face was priceless....

I have had a very similar experience in which a person told me the very same thing... that the Shriners were this great organisation and the masons were all evil. I also laughed hysterically.
