That guy who got struck and killed by lightening going from Germany to France I believe it was was a messenger from Adam Weishaupt and he was
delivering Illuminati secret documents to Illuminati members in France.
Just a quick comment:
The story of an Illuminatus messenger being struck by lightning and having secret documents discovered is apocryphal. It makes for a good fireside
yarn, but it has no basis in fact.
In reality, the secret papers of the Illuminati were published in a book by Adam Weishaupt called "In Defense of Illuminism." This book was written
and published b Weishaupt while he was in exile, several years after the Jesuit crackdown in Bavaria.
The crackdown was a result of the Bavarian secret police having infiltrated the Illuminati, not the discovery of any documents. Weishaupt officially
disbanded the Illuminati at this time, but remained active in the Masonic Rite of Strict Observance. The Masonic rite, however, was philosophical in
nature, while his Illuminati was political and promoted a revolutionary style of classical liberalism, similar to a kindred secret society in the
Colonies called the Sons of Liberty, who were probably responsible for the Boston Tea Party.
