Wikipedia provides the following information about the Illuminati, but implies that any workings of the group still today is only a “conspiracy theory” and not factual...

The Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name given to several groups, both historical and modern, and both real and fictitious. Historically, the name refers specifically to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776.

In modern times it is also used to refer to a purported conspiratorial organization which acts as a shadowy "power behind the throne", allegedly controlling world affairs through present day governments and corporations, usually as a modern incarnation or continuation of the Bavarian Illuminati. In this context, the Illuminati are believed to be the masterminds behind events that will lead to the establishment of a New World Order.

Wikipedia has locked the article, preventing anyone from telling the truth about the matter. Wikipedia is effectively censoring the truth about the Illuminati. If you want proof of secret societies at work in modern times to achieve world government, look no further than the words of David Rockefeller concerning the controlled newsmedia...

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years."

"It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

In American, tyranny has been wrapped in a flag and people are worshipping it. We have forsaken God and in exchange have sought sustenance, security, and guidance from the government. Those who will not obey God will be oppressed by tyrants. The U.S. is going into a Police State. A nation cannot be salvaged that refuses to repent and turn back to God (2nd Chronicles 7:14). Millions of Americans are now waking up to the reality of tyranny, and tension is building. When the pressure-cooker blows, the Banksters will bring in foreign troops to march on American soil and harshly prosecute any resistance to their oppression and tyranny. Many Americans will be killed in battle. We won't stand a chance against them. God has promised to heal our nation, but only if we'll turn our faces toward Him in prayer, forsaking our sins, and humility. The problem is that Americans are too sinfully proud and infatuated with their sins to obey God.
