They no longer exist. They dissolved shortly after Weisshaupt's death.
(yes, I know you'll get lots of answers about "yes they do exist"... but what you won't get is a clear consensus like you'd get about a real
organization. For instance we know there's a real AlQaida. EVERYONE agrees on who heads it and who the primary movers and shakers are and where the
funding comes from. You could do the same with the Yakuza (the secretive Japanese "mafia") or the Tongs (Chinese gangs) or Falun Gong (religious
organization), etc, etc.
Ask 10 different "experts" about the Illuminati and you'll get 20 different answers about the makeup and structure of the organization. The reason
that they have no consensus about the next move/leaders/etc is that it doesn't exist and they're drawing conclusions from whatever issues they think
point to the Illuminati.
And no, the Masons/Freemasons/Elks/Lions/Peace Corps/Vatican isn't a front for them.


Very very funny.
