Johann Adam Weishaupt was a German philosopher and founder of the Order of Illuminati (later frequently referred to as the Bavarian Illuminati).

He graduated from the University of Ingolstadt in 1768.
In 1774 he was initiated as a Freemason, but he was not satisfied by the organisation of this order, so on May 1, 1776 he founded his own. This organization was first known as "The Order of Perfectibilists" but became famous as the "Ordo Illuminati Bavarensis".

“And of all illumination which human reason can give, none is comparable to the discovery of what we are, our nature, our obligations, what happiness we are capable of, and what are the means of attaining it.”
Adam Weishaupt

“Bless us, divine number, who generated gods and men. Number contains the root and source of eternally flowing creation.”  --Pythagoras”
Adam Weishaupt, The Illuminati

“Our world is full of submissive activities. Shopping is submissive. You wander around buying the things the controllers have placed in front of you. Watching TV is submissive. You watch fictional lives rather than live your own life. Playing video games is submissive. You sit there shooting up the world (in virtual reality), while having no impact at all on actual reality. It’s easy to be a virtual hero, hard to be a real one. One involves no work, and the other is as hard as it gets. Video games are an avoidance of the real world. Voting is submissive too – you delegate your authority to one of the puppets of the controllers. Dominants are active, not passive. They DO. They ACT. They MOVE. They CHOOSE. They DECIDE. They are NOT CONTROLLED by the system. They are FREE. So, what are you?”
Adam Weishaupt, Christianity: The Devil's Greatest Trick
