Isn't there anything we can do to stop the Illuminati?, page 4

The information I have says Mazzini not only was Illuminati but was the head of it:

After Weishaupt died on November 18, 1830, at the age of 82, Giuseppe Mazzini
(1805-72), an Italian patriot, and revolutionary leader, was appointed head of the Illuminati in 1834. It was believed that Weishaupt rejoined the Catholic Church with a deathbed repentance.

I'm not sure which sources you used, but I am aware that many conspiracy websites make those claims. I just wanted to point out that such claims are not backed up by historical evidence.

The Illuminati was primarily limited to Bavaria, and had ceased to exist by the time Mazzini was born. The Carbonari, an Italian secret society similar to the Illuminati, did attract Mazzini, however.

Also, it is true that Weishaupt reconciled to the Church, but this was prior to his deathbed, and long after he disbanded the Illuminati. He even built a parish in 1787.

And then goes ahead with more detailes:

While attending Genoa University, Mazzini became a 33rd degree Mason, and joined a secret organization known as the Carbonari (their stated goal in 1818: “Our final aim is that of Voltaire and of the French Revolution– the complete annihilation of Catholicism, and ultimately all Christianity.”), where he became committed to the cause of Italian unity.

It is true that Mazzini became a 33° Scottish Rite Mason, but this was long after his days at Genoa University. Also, the above quote was not the Carnoari's stated goals. The Carbonari opposed the political power of the Vatican, and wanted to put it in the hands of the people, where it belonged. This is evidenced by the actions of Garibaldi, known as the "George Washington of Italy", who was a disciple of Mazzini's, was also a Carbonari and Mason, and who marched on the Papal States. Garibaldi could easily have arrested the pope and brought down the Church, but he didn't. He let the Church keep Vatican City, and gave the rest of the papal lands back to the peasants.

It is true that Voltaire was highly respected by Mazzini, and that Mazzini sought Italian unity.

Mazzini, who became known as the ‘Evil Genius of Italy,’ tried to carry on the activities of the Illuminati through the Alta Vendita Lodge, the highest lodge of the Carbonari.

Mazzini has never been known as the "Evil Genius of Italy". In Italy, Mazzini is viewed the same way we here in the USA view Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.

In 1860, Mazzini had formed an organization called the ‘Oblonica,’ a name derived from the Latin ‘obelus,’ which means: “I beckon with a spit (dagger).” Within this group, he established an inner circle called the Mafia.

Mazzini did not found the Mafia, nor was he ever a mafioso. The Mafia was founded in Sicily during the reign of the Medicis, long before Mazzini was born.

Now about the letter that planed 3 WW is said that is a hoax. Here a excerpt from that:

According to William Guy Carr, a retired Canadian Naval Commander, in his book Pawns in the Game (he also wrote Red Fog Over America), he said that for a short time this letter had been on display in the British Museum Library in London, where he wrote a copy of it. The British Museum has said that they never had such a letter in their collection. It was later discovered that Carr got the information from a book called The Mystery of Freemasonry Unveiled by Jose Maria Caro y Rodriguez, the Archbishop of Santiago, and the Cardinal of Chile. Some researchers believe the second letter to be fraudulent, and had been written much later than the first part, since the word ‘Fascism’ was not used until 1921, and the Arab/Jewish problem did not exist until after the 1917
Balfour Declaration. But then again, if they indeed planned and initiated these events, the document could very well be authentic.

As this mentions, simply put, the letter does not exist. The anti-Masonic website "Freemasonry Watch" was claiming that the original letter was in the British Museum. The British Museum, however, denies its existence. The fact that the letters mention Fascism and other 20th century events is proof positive of their forgery.
