The Illuminatus Goethe wrote to Bode, a fellow member, on the 22nd
June 1784: "Believe me, our moral world is undermined by sub-terranean
tunnels, basements and sewers, like a large town usually is, without
anyone usually thinking of their connections. It is comprehensible to me or
any other enlightened person if smoke sometimes rises from a crack or if
strange voices are heard..."
The Murders of Schiller and Mozart
The great poet and playwright Friedrich von Schiller moved to Mannheim
on the 27th July 1783. In June 1784 Christian Gottfried Korner (1756-
1831), an important Illuminatus, sent Schiller a letter suggesting he join

An Illuminatus was bound by the codex of the Order: "I shall perform an

which were taken during the police search of Baron Bassus' castle in
Sandersdorf and later published under the collective title "Nachtrag von

- Professors Cosandey and Renner - also confirmed in April 1785 that an
Illuministic principle was "the ends justify the means".
It was only later that Schiller was able to see through the deception.
Deception and blackmail were the order's ways to reach its aims. Weis-

the art of deception, the art of disguising yourselves, of masking your-
selves, spying on others and perceiving their innermost thoughts." To
make sure that the secrets of the Order were not leaked, Weishaupt created
a secret police corps within the Order which he called the "insinuating
brothers". These worked in the same manner as the Bolshevik's Cheka and
its successors: denunciation, provocation, blackmail and terrorism. The
