Illuminated

Prepare yourself for Gawd offal background piano music (sometimes slow string instruments) by supervisor Harry Maslin. Too bad they could not afford Peter Coyote for their narrator; Johnny Royal had to do the narration himself.

Look like a series of sound bites from various experts (look them up), Josef Wages (Freemason, Illuminati Historian), Reinhard Marker (Illuminati Historian), Adam Kendall Masonic historian), Teresita Arechiga (Deputy Grand Master Women's Grand Lodge of Freemasons California), Dr. Olaf Simons (Illuminati Historian), Brian Butler (Occultist), Clyde Lewis (National Radio Show Host, Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis), Eric Bertolli (Freemason), and Ron Patton (Executive Producer, Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis).

As the Order of the Arrow is imbedded in the Boy Scouts the Illuminati is imbedded in the Freemasons; this covers the bulk of the story.

Did the Illuminati go out with a whimper?

Or are they still lurking somewhere?

Who is that behind you?

It is still fun, and I hope Johnny Royal will take on the Thule Society next.

Beautifully filmed and scored. A must see to educate you on the truth of the past and the ripple effect it has left behind and inspired for mans freedom.

This documentary is a wonderful history lesson on the beginning and end of the Illuminati. It captures a perfect balance of enlightenment, entertainment, and contemplation. Johnny Royal relies on cold hard facts and depths of knowledge to uncover the truth to this story that has been tainted by years of fear mongering and conspiracies. A must watch for anyone looking for the truth about the Illuminati!

The Illuminati, a recurring theme in contemporary conspiracy literature, has rarely been so well studied and presented as an actual historical phenomenon. "Illuminated" does an excellent job exploring the historical roots and philosophy of the actual Illuminati (a real secret society that existed in the 18th century), using credible historical sources and the best recent scholarship. Far from a dry academic presentation, the film presents this information in a compelling, visually engaging way that tells a fascinating story known to few. Highly recommended.

Wrong information and silly mistakes makes this product non to be trusted. Mixing up Greek and Roman gods is not acceptable for a documentary
