Antelman to eliminate the opiate vol1

"All of us jointly swore opposition to the llluminati, and my
friends considered me as a proper instrument for this pro-
posal. To whet my zeal, they put papers into my hands that
made me shudder... The intelligent saw in the open system of
the Jacobins the complete hidden System of the llluminati. We
knew that this system considered the whole world in its aims
and France was only the place of its first explosion."
In a Postscript to his book, 22 Robison writes that he has
seen Abbe Barruel's book on the history of Jacobinism, which
has confirmed everything that he has said concerning the
"Enlighteners." He shows unquestionably,
"... that a formal and systematic conspiracy against religion
was formed, and zealously prosecuted by Voltaire d'Alembert
and Diderot, assisted by Frederick II, King of Prussia, and I
see that their principles and their procedure have been the
same with those of the manner of German atheists and
anarchists. Like them, they hired an army of writers; they
industriously pushed their writings into every house and every
cottage. Those writings were equally calculated for inflaming
the sensual appetites of men and for perverting their
judgment. They endeavored to get the command of the schools,
particularly those for the lower classes; and they erected and
managed a prodigious number of libraries and Reading Societies."
Robison's remarks sound almost identical with those
accusations against Marxist-Leninist activities that have
emanated in recent years from the hallowed halls of the
Congress of the United States.
Of course, the Jews also had their "enlighteners who
appeared on the horizon at that time, and their movement is
referred to as the "Haskala." While we have shown the
connection between some of the members of the Haskala in
Russia in connection with the attempted overthrow of Judaism,
and the Bund der Gerechten, the question is, "Were their
predecessors Jacobins, or were they linked in any way with
members of the llluminati?" The answer is a definitive "Yes,"
for when Count Mirabeau came to Paris to form the Jacobins
