This historical book published in 1802 gives a very good insight into the origins of Illuminism, by a man named Voltaire, which was adopted by the Masonic Lodge of Weishoupf, and spread rapidly throughout France, in the years before the French Revolution.

What is notable is that the lodges began indoctrinating their members into violence, in such ways as watching a murder, or forcing a member to murder a "traitor" of the lodge. This violent training built into an uprising, called a "revolution" but was a murderous riot in the same style as the subsequent communist purgings.

I would suggest that the "French Revolution" was the first ILLUMINATI / socialist revolution.

What it is seeming to be happening now - today -

is something similar – a build up of violent verbal attacks at people who are not buying into the Democrat / Socialist / NoBorders / Globalist Agenda. It is being made a common thing to accuse and defame people who DO NOT FOLLOW THEM.

This is an interesting read:
