Proofs of a Conspiracy. E-book. Formato EPUB John Robison - Bookrix, 2019 -
In this work, Proofs of a Conspiracy, Robison laid the groundwork for modern conspiracy theorists by implicating the Bavarian Illuminati as responsible for the excesses of the French Revolution. The Bavarian Illuminati, a rationalist secret society, was founded by Adam Weishaupt in 1776 in what is today Germany. They had an inner core of true believers, who secretly held radical atheist, anti-monarchist and possibly proto-feminist views, at that time considered beyond the pale. They recruited by infiltrating the numerous (and otherwise benign) Freemasonic groups which were active at the time on the continent. Necessarily they had a clandestine, compartmentalized, hierarchical organizational form.

John Robison was a Scottish scientist, who late in life wrote the one of the definitive studies of the Bavarian Illuminati, "Proofs of a Conspiracy". He was a contemporary and collaborator with James Watt, with whom he worked on an early steam car, contributor to the 1797 Encylopedia Britannica, professor of philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, and inventor of the siren.Although Robison was very much an advocate of science and rationalism, in later life, disillusioned by the French Revolution, he became an ardent monarchist.

Necessarily they had a clandestine, compartmentalized, hierarchical organizational form, which has led some modern conspiracy theorists to identify them as the original Marxist-Leninist group. However, this is most likely simply a case of parallel evolution.

John Robison, Scottish physicist and mathematician, authored Proofs of a Conspiracy — a polemic accusing Freemasonry of being infiltrated by Weishaupt's Order of the Illuminati. He shines a light on the history, workings, continuing influence, and pernicious and hidden power of this secret order. A worth while book if you are interested in secret society's and how they work to achieve their hidden agenda. The Illuminati conspiracy still resonates with its warning that the light of reason has its shadows, and even the most enlightened democracy can be manipulated by hidden hands.
