I asked him when the Bavarian Illuminati stopped existing and got this extract:

Manly Hall believed that the Bavarian Illuminati represented but a fragment of a larger movement: “Weishaupt emerged as a faithful servant of a higher cause; behind him moved the intricate machinery of the secret schools. As usual, they did not trust their full weight to any perishable institution. The physical history of the Bavarian Illuminati extended over a period of only twelve years. It is difficult to understand therefore, the profound stir which this movement caused in the political life of Europe. We are forced to the realization that this Bavarian group was only a fragment of a large and composite design.”50 Weishaupt’s Illuminati Society was divided into three classes, the middle of which he named Masonry, inferring a link between the Illuminati and Masonic Orders.51 As the legend of a secret society within a secret society grew, it produced more myths than facts. By the end of the eighteenth century, critics were already pointing to the Illuminati as manipulators of both the American and French Revolutions.52 In the United States, Federalists encouraged people to believe that Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic–Republican party were controlled by the Illuminati in Europe.

Not bad. What are your questions and answers?
