MDDM Ch. 28 "what else?"

I've only got the German version but somebody should post some of the
"Illuminati-Memos" from R.A.Wilson. The story of Washington and Jefferson
being Masons is usually told along with the one of the hemp harvest on Mount
Vernon and the Eye in the Pyramid on the US-$, introduced, as I've
understood it, by Jefferson. Wilson tells it that way that there have been
rumours that the original Washington had been murdered and replaced by Adam
Weishaupt, founder of Bavarian Illuminati (1776, banned in 1884-5 by the
Bavarian Government). And According to Wilson and other sources Weishaupt
has been a former jesuit. It seems as if The Great Seal is indeed identical
with the symbol the Illuminati have used.

"A year after the society was banned by Bavaria's government in 1784,
Weishaupt lost his position at the University of Ingolstadt and fled
Bavaria. He received the assistance of Duke Ernest of Gotha, and during the
next quarter century lived in Gotha writing a series of works on Illuminism,
including A Complete History of the Persecutions of the Illuminati in
Bavaria (1785), A Picture of Illuminism (1786), An Apology for the
Illuminati (1786), and An Improved System of Illuminism (1787). He died
there in 1811."

"There were many Freemasons on the Continent at the time of the
Revolutionary war. This is well known, as it is well known that many of the
founding fathers were, themselves, Freemasons. But the following two points
are not so well known:
1. That George Washington made remarks concerning the Illuminati that were
quoted from him and included in the diaries. He indicated that the
Illuminati were a threat to the Colonial Army.
2. That Adam Weishaupt had directly stated, as an objective of the
Illuminati, that they were to infiltrate the Masonic ranks and aquire the
majority of their members from this method. Such as by luring with mysteries
and promises of a Secret Society which even outranks the Masons."
Quotes from Weishaupt, Symbols, The Great Seal, image of Weishaupt bearing
only little resemblance to Washington:

If I were a member of a secret society I would exactly do the same as George
does -- accusing my enemies in public of what I'm doing secretly.
