Illuminati in
the United States
In 1829, the Illuminati held a secret meeting in New York, which was
addressed by a British Illuminist named Frances 'Fanny' Wright, from
Scotland, who was an associate of socialist Robert Dale Owen. She had
come to America in 1818, then again in 1824. In 1828, she became the
co-editor of the New Harmony Gazette with Owen. In 1829, they moved to
New York, and called their publication the Free Enquirer. At the
meeting, she spoke of equal rights, atheism, and free love, as she
promoted a Women's Auxiliary of the Illuminati. Those present were told
that an international movement of subversives was being developed along
the lines of Illuminati principles, who would be used to ferment future
wars. They were to be known as 'communists.' This movement was to be
used to make the idea of a one-world government more appealing by
bringing chaos to the world through war and revolution, so the
Illuminati could step in to create order.
In 1843, poet Heinrich Heine, revealed what he knew about this new
group, when he wrote a book called Letece, which was a compilation of
articles he wrote for the Augsburg Gazette from 1840-1843. A passage
from that book read: "Communism is the secret name of this tremendous
adversary which the rule of the proletariat, with all that implies,
opposes to the existing bourgeois regime ... Communism is nonetheless
the dark hero, cast for an enormous if fleeting role in the modern
tragedy, and awaiting its cue to enter the stage."
Clinton Roosevelt, Horace Greeley (1811-72, Editor of the New York
Tribune which he founded in 1841), and Charles Dana (1819-97, City
Editor on the New York Tribune, and later Editor of the New York Sun),
prominent newspaper publishers at that time, were appointed to a
committee to raise funds for the project, which was being financed by
the Rothschilds. Incidentally, Greeley, because of his ambition for high
public office, and his anti-slavery stand, helped organize the
Republican Party in 1854. In 1872, he ran for the Presidency, against
Ulysses S. Grant, on the Liberal Republican ticket. Grant defeated him
3,597,132 votes to 2,834,125.
In 1841, Clinton Roosevelt wrote a book called The Science of Government
Founded on Natural Law, which was the blueprint of the conspiracy to
eliminate the U.S. Constitution, and to communize the country, based on
the principles of Weishaupt. It contained the detailed plan for the New
Deal and the National Recovery Act that was implemented 92 years later
by his direct descendant Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The Illuminati operated through a front organization known as the
Locofoco Party (1835-45), which was organized by radical Jacksonian
Democrats who were strongly influenced by the Working Man's Party
(1828-30), and had labor support. The Working Man's Party merged into
the Equal Rights Party in 1833, which later developed into the Socialist
Party in 1901. The Locofocos got their name when they voted down the
endorsed candidate for the Democratic Party Chairman, and the gas lights
were turned off by Party regulars during the 1835 meeting in Tammany
Hall. The matches they used to light candles, in order to continue the
meeting, were called 'locofocos.'
With their political strength concentrated mainly in the Northeast,
their goals were to establish an independent treasury and to enact
anti-monopoly legislation. They were absorbed into the States' rights
movement of Sen. John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, Sen. Henry Clay of
Kentucky, and Sen. Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, who joined with the
Jeffersonian Republicans and the Anti-Masonic Party to form the Whig
Party, which represented farmers, southern plantation owners, and
northeastern business interests. Their main complaint was President
Andrew Jackson's refusal to Charter the Second Bank of the United
States. They succeeded in electing Gen. William Henry Harrison and Gen.
Zachary Taylor to the Presidency, but were stymied by presidential
vetoes when they tried to get their legislative projects passed,
especially after the re-establishment of the National Bank. The Whigs
later merged with the newly formed Republican Party.
