FINAL WARNING: The Birth of Tyranny
fact than I am. The idea I meant to convey, was, that I did not
believe that the lodges of Freemasons in this country had, as
societies, endeavored to propagate the diabolical tenets of the
first, or pernicious principles of the latter. That individuals of
them may have done it, or that the founder or instruments
employed to have found the democratic societies in the United
States may have had this object, and actually had a separation of
the people from their government in view, is too evident to be
questioned.”Shortly before his death, Washington issued two more warnings about
the Illuminati.Around 1807, John Quincy Adams (said to have organized the New
England Masonic lodges), who later became President in 1825, wrote
three letters to Colonel William C. Stone, a top Mason, telling him that
Thomas Jefferson, our 3rd President, and founder of the Democratic
Party, was using the Masonic lodges for subversive Illuminati
purposes. These letters were allegedly kept at the Rittenburg Square
Library in Philadelphia, but have mysteriously vanished. Adams also
wrote to Washington, saying that Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton
were misusing Masonic lodges for Illuminati purposes and the worship
of Lucifer (which is recorded in the Adams Chronicles).Benjamin Franklin was also accused of being a member of the
Illuminati, but there is no concrete proof of this. Jefferson seemed to
be the main focus of everyone’s ire. He was accused by the Federalists
of being a Jacobin, and an atheist. There is some evidence to indicate
that he did use the Democratic Societies and Jacobin Clubs in his 1796
battle with John Adams for the Presidency. The Rev. Jedediah Morse
identified Jefferson as “an Illuminatus.”On July 4, 1812, Rev. Joseph Willard, the president of Harvard
University, said in a speech in Lancaster, New Hampshire: “There is
sufficient evidence that a number of societies, of the Illuminati, have
been established in this land of Gospel light and civil liberty, which
were first organized from the grand society, in France. They are
doubtless secretly striving to undermine all our ancient institutions,
civil and sacred. These societies are closely leagued with those of the
same Order, in Europe; they have all the same object in view. The
