The illuminati and freemasons were actual, real societies. The Illuminati (From "illuminatus" means:enlightened) was an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May i, 1776 to oppose superstition, prejudice, religious influence over public life, abuses of state power, and to back up women's education and gender equality. The Illuminati, along with other undercover societies, were outlawed by the Bavarian ruler, Charles Theodore, with the encouragement of the Roman Catholic Church, and permanently disbanded in 1785.

In subsequent use, "Illuminati" refers to diverse organizations claiming or purported to have unsubstantiated links to the original Bavarian Illuminati or similar secret societies, and ofttimes declared to conspire to control world affairs by masterminding events and planting agents in authorities and corporations to establish a New World Gild and gain farther political power and influence.

These mainly involve aspects and agencies of the The states government, only bodily events outside the Usa (such equally the Propaganda Due scandal in Italy) are often used to lend acceptance to claims.
