fringe science think they know a basic picture of how it all works, but unless someone has seen Illuminatus activity first hand, anything written is far too limited to take seriously. I read many books on the subject, some written by legitimate historians looking for historical patterns in human civilization, while others were written by paranoid freaks who use God and Country as a shield for their sickness. Like most unorthodox studies, there was a grain of truth in them all, and those grains piled into huge mounts in my mind as I was able to apply my own experiences to what these books said.
It is a mistake to think the Illuminati is an all-powerful group of old men that manipulate politics to better their situation. In fact, there is nothing villainous about the Illuminati at all, and further, the very act of personalizing them as a single organization is a completely misleading way to discuss them.

However, it is clear that there were times in history where social progress was interrupted, redirected or completely halted by one of three interests. At the most basic level these influences can be defined as Western, Eastern, and Middle-Eastern. That implies that different cultures are involved and that is simply not true, but it does mean that these influences often target particular cultures. In traditional mysticism these influences would be called Black, Yellow, and White schools of magic respectively. Everything in history can be associated
