The Order Of Illuminati By Adam Weishaupt

If I asked you what the ‘Illuminati’ is, you’d probably ignore me. Then I’ll ask you again, and you’ll say something vague as to wave off the question like, “triangles,” or “the government,” and the conversation would end. We’d go about on our nonchalant ways, skipping gleefully like innocent preschoolers who don’t a worry in the world. Okay, you wouldn’t skip around like preschoolers.
