No. I've had the book for 25 years, actually. But again, there is a difference between continental Masonry, which is what he was writing about, and the UK Masonry that he was a member of, from which the US lodges got their charters.

that is exactly why i brought his name up, he was an insider. who wrote-
"Proofs of a Conspiracy against all the Religions and Governments of Europe, carried on in the Secret Meetings of Free-Masons, Illuminati and Reading Societies," etc., collected from good authorities, Edinburgh, 1797 ; 2nd ed.
seems like it is you first time hearing about him? no?
My personal opinion? History is written by the victors. Weishaupt was anti-church, anti-tyrant. He was essentially a proto-anarchist who in the age of enlightenment believed that mankind should govern itself, not be subservient to church or state. So, of course, he has been demonized by the very ones he spoke against.

Also was Adam Weishapt actually that evil or has history been rewritten to look that way? He started one of the recent iterations of the Illuminati within free masonry. Ive read some of his own words from the past and he comes off as a really good guy aiming for a better world.

Step 1. become more public. General intelligence level is higher now your group could become vanguards of knowledge in a more public way. (this goes against some of the free mason teachings as I understand, May I suggest its time to adapt and evolve slightly?)
Step 2. If someone can use the play and control within free masonry to slowly gain world domination. Shouldn't the same resources be able to be used for good? (for example since your group has so much weight to throw around. Start being louder. Demand the arrest of certain individuals. Allegedly many people the world over in prominent positions are masons)
Free masonry keeping its complete secretiveness is only serving the negative peoples plans right now. The shove blame in your direction and anyone half awake sees some validity to this.

Not to mention the fact that Bro. Buzz was only 32° when he went to the moon.
