Illuminati, Freemasons, and Rosicrucian collusion

The Freemasons, Rosicrucians, and Illuminati Order as organizations, were not cohorts, and in the 18th century, the Freemasons and Rosicrucians were not even sympathizers of the "Illuminati" and the Illuminati Order.

The illuminati Order's goal was to not only recruit from a ready gathering of Intellectuals, but also to adopt their methods of operation and ranking.

It was the opinion of Nesta H. Webster, English author and Wife of Captain Arthur Webster, the Superintendent of the English Police in India. She authored "World revolution" (see the Harvard College Library for the 1921 publication) in which she quoted the Count of Virieu, who, returning from the Congress of Wilhelmsbad as saying:

"I will not confide them to you. I can only tell you that all this is very much more serious than you think. The conspiracy which is being woven is so well thought out that it will be, so to speak, impossible for the Monarchy and the Church to escape from it."(1)
