When someone mentions the Illuminati, there seems to be a lot of controversy and confusion.
ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA:
"The Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name given to several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically, the name usually refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on 1 May 1776. The society's goals were to oppose superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life, and abuses of state power."

There is a 15-minute video on the subject, that seems to document some of the history. In that video, one statement that stands out is the following...
"Men of special talent and brains have the right to rule those less gifted, on the ground that the masses don't know what is best for them physically, mentally and spiritually."
This seems to tie in with the master plan to create a one-world government... "A NEW WORLD ORDER," which has been talked about by our most-recent former presidents of the United States.
If you know some of the history, you've got to wonder - are these plans being carried out RIGHT NOW?
