I checked with ARIN... the address www.illuminati.org is NOT registered with them. So I decided I'd have to use their IP.
Pinged www.illuminati.org, heres the result.
64 bytes from ge1.illuminati.org (70.42.141.66): icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=136 ms
Ok, so their IP is 70.42.141.66.
And aparrently the servers URL is ge1.illuminati.org. Hmm...
Lets try ge1.illuminati.org in ARIN... nope, not registered.
However their IP has a little information on it...
Internap Network Services PNAP-09-2005 (NET-70-42-0-0-1)
70.42.0.0 - 70.42.255.255
Pace Consulting INAP-SJE-PACE-12182 (NET-70-42-141-0-1)
70.42.141.0 - 70.42.141.255
Ok, well, that didnt help. Internmap is a HUGE company, and they provide most IP's for alot of regions around the globe.
Pace Consulting... now this one turned up a few results...
-->www.paceconsulting.ca seems to be an enterprise consulting team... they seem to be the most likely provider of that IP.
-->www.pace-eap.com is an employee benefits company... nope, not them.
-->www.paceconsulting.net is a staffing solutions company... no, they wouldnt be providing IP's either.
-->www.paceconsulting.com is another benefits company... again, not a provider.
-->www.paceconsulting.co.uk heres another enterprise consulting team.
So that means it was either provided through the Canadian Pace company, or the United Kingdom Pace company.
Both of their sites, if you visit them, promise to enhance the wealth of the shareholders of your company... I couldnt find out from either yet wether they publically sell IP slots.
So thats a dead end, unless I get in contact with them... not today.
So lets do a traceroute to the illuminati website.
I'm starting the trace at hop 9, I dont want to give away my location to any of you wouldbe hackers.

Okay, so hop 18, we see the good old pnap.net domain, they are an internet routing company, affiliated with internap, pnap is the american counterpart... which means that at hop 18, we are in the United States...
Hop 19 gives us a little more insight into how the illuminati.org site is set up. This is an internap router, set specifically to pass traffic to illuminati.org.
and of course, I also tried pinging ge1.illuminati.org, as well as getting an internet registry on it using whois... you cant ping it... apparently it "doesnt exist", which is bogus, as you are being routed through them.
So...
Pace Consulting to me, has to be a very small scale company based in the US, which was created specifically for this hoax, if it is a hoax.
[EDIT]
I'll check on this later some more, right now I'm hungry.

Yeah, I saw that in the source code too... why does that ring a bell? I've heard that somewhere before... was it the same website before they changed it again? I can't remember....

Who are they?
Registrant Name:Ancient Order of Bavarian Seers
Registrant Organization:Ancient Order of Bavarian Seers
They are registered in Pennsylvania but their IP address is in California.
I looked up the ancient order of bavarian seers and it takes you to this website with a pyramid that just seems to move around and change colors when you click on it... www.illuminatiorder.info...
"What speaks with one voice, yet walks on four feet in the morning, two feet at noon and three feet in the evening?"

I tried highlighting it.....I've seen this site before, but it has information on it too.
A box appears that says Entrance on the top (a pop-up)
The question to answer is:
"What speaks with one voice, yet walks on four feet in the morning, two feet at noon and three feet in the evening?"
Hmmmm. Anyone got a clue?
