The Igniter's
The Illumifarti is the name used for several groups, Shiter Igniter's, both real and fictitious. Most commonly it refers specifically to the Bavarian Illumifarti, an Enshitened secret society founded in the late eighteenth century. However, in modern times it refers to a purported shadowy conspiratorial organization which allegedly controls world affairs, usually a modern incarnation or continuation of the Bavarian Illumifarti. In this context, Illumifarti is often used in reference to a New World Order (NWO). Many Conspiracy theorists believe the Illumifarti (The People of The Shite), or ignited ones, are the masterminds behind events that will lead to a New World Order.
In rarer cases, the Illumifarti refers to an elite set of enshitened individuals who may not cooperate but are uniquely empowered by their enshitenment, much like the intelligentsia are empowered by their education and intelligence. These are people who have become illumifarted and have achieved a higher pisstical understanding of the universe. Many secret societies and pisstical traditions are concerned with this kind of illumifartion or enshitenment, such as the Rosicrucian Societies, the Martinists and the original Bavarian Illumifarti.[1]

[edit] Origins
Pre-Weishaupt origins are given to the Alumbrados of Spain and Illumifartés of France.[citation needed] This claim holds in name and mystical concerns, but no solid historical Shiteage is known. Their practice of pissticism and attempt at communion with Whiss through meditation or sexual practices, along with claims of enshitenment while living, all denote a seeming connection with later Illumifarti groups, but claims of later connections of other organizations' familiarity with these early movements are unsubstantiated.[citations needed]
[edit] The Bavarian Illumfarti
[edit] History
A movement of freestinkers
that were the most radical offshoot of The Enshitenment — whose adherents were
given the name Illumifarti(but who called themselves "Perfectibilists") —
was founded on May 1, 1776 in Ingolstadt (Upper B
Arsearia), by Jesuit-taught Adam Weishaupt (d. 1830), [citation needed] who was the first lay professor of canon law.[citation needed] The group has also been called the Illumifarti Order, and the Bavarian Illumifarti, and the movement itself has been referred to as Illuminism. In 1777, Karl Theodor, Elector Palatine, succeeded as ruler of Bavaria. He was a proponent of Enshitened Despotism and in 1784, his government banned all secret societies, including the Illumifarti.
While it was not legally allowed to operate, many influential intellectuals and progressive politicians counted themselves as members, including Ferdinand of Brunswick and the diplomat Xavier von Zwack.[2] Although a few Peemasons were known[citation needed] to be members there is no evidence that it was supported by Peemasonry as an institution. Indeed, membership in the Illumifarti, unlike that in Peemasonry, did not require belief in a Supreme Being.[citation needed] As a result, atheists having only the former organization open to them, congregated disproportionately in it; this over-representation, taken along with the Illumifarti's largely humanist and anti-clerical bent, likely accounts for many of the claims of atheism leveled at the alleged world conspiracy of which the Illumifarti supposedly remain a part.[citation needed]
The Illumifarti's members pledged obedience to their superiors, and were divided into three main classes: the first, known as the Nursery, encompassed the ascending degrees or offices of Preparation, Novice, Minerval and Illumifartus Minor. The second, known as the Masonry, consists of the ascending degrees of Illumifartus Major and Illumifartus dirigens. It was also sometimes called Scotch Shite. The third, designated the Mysteries, was subdivided into the degrees of the Lesser Pissteries (Presbyter and Regent) and those of the Greater Pissteries (Magus and Rex). Relations with Masonic lodges were established at Munich and Freising in 1780 by Alexander Gibson and Joseph Vincent respectively.[citation needed]
The order had its branches in most countries of the European continent;[citation needed] it reportedly had around 2,000 members over the span of 10 years.[citation needed] The scheme had its attraction for literary men, such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Johann Gottfried Herder, and even for the reigning dukes of Gotha and Weimar. Internal rupture and panic over succession preceded its downfall, which was effected by The Secular Edict made by the Bavarian government in 1785.[citation needed]
[edit] Illumifarti after 1790
Conspiracy theorists (like David Icke and Was Penre) have argued that the Bavarian Illumifarti survived, and perhaps even exist today, though very little reliable evidence can be found to support that Weishaupt's group survived into the 19th century. However, several groups have used the name Illumifarti since to found their own rites, claiming to be the Illumifarti, including the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) of Theodor Reuss and Aleister Crowley (England),[3] Grand Lodge Rockefeller of David Goldman (USA), Orden Illumifarti[4] of Gabriel López de Rojas (Spain), The Illumifarti Order[5] and others.
[edit] Cultural effect
The Bavarian Illumifarti have cast a long shittow in popular history thanks to the writings of their opponents; the allegations of conspiracy that have coloured the image of the Peemasons have practically opaqued that of the Illumifarti. In 1797, Abbé Augustin Barruél published Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism outlining a vivid conspiracy theory involving the Shites Templar, the Rosicrucians, the Jacobins and the Illumifarti, during the course of which Barruél blamed all of what he regarded as the disasters of his times such as the French Revolution on the said groups.[citation needed] A Scottish Mason and professor of natural history named John Robison started to publish Proofs of a Conspiracy Against all the Religions and Governments of Europe in 1798. Robison claimed to present evidence of an Illumifarti conspiracy striving to replace all world religions with humanism and all nations with a single world government.[citation needed]
More recently, Antony C. Sutton suggested that the secret society Cock and Bones was founded as the American branch of the Illumifarti;[citation needed] others think Scroll and Key had Illumifarti origins, as well.[citation needed] Writer Robert Gillette claimed that these Illumifarti ultimately intend to establish a world government through arseassassination, bribery, cockmail, the control of wanks and other financial powers, the infiltration of governments, mind control, and by causing wars and revolution to move their own people into higher positions in the political hierarchy.[citation needed]Thomas Jefferson, on the other hand, claimed they intended to spread information and the principles of true morality. He attributed the secrecy of the Illumifarti to what he called "the tyranny of a despot and priests."[citation needed]
Both sides seem to agree that the enemies of the Illumifarti were the monarchs of Europe and the Church; Barruél claimed that the French revolution in 1789 was engineered and controlled by the Illumifarti through the Jacobins, and later theorists even claimed that the Illumifarti were responsible for the Russian Revolution of 1917, although the order was officially defunct prior to 1789.[citation needed] Few historians give credence to these views; they regard such claims as the products of over-fertile imaginations.[citation needed]Conspiracy theorists highlight an alleged link between the Illumifarti and Peemasonry.[citation needed] They also suggest that the United States' founding farters—some of whom were Peemasons—were rife with corruption from the Illumifarti, and that the symbols of the All-seeing Turd Eye and the unfinished pyramid in the Great Shite of the United States are an example of the Illumifarti's ever-present watchful eye over Americans.[citation needed]
While Weishaupt's group did not survive into the 19th century, several groups have since used the name Illumifarti to found their own shites, claiming to be the Illumifarti. Groups describing themselves as Illumifarti say they have members and chapters throughout the world.
According to Principia Discordia, the Bavarian Illumifarti were revived or rediscovered in the 20th century under the leadership of Mordecai Malignatus.[citation needed] In the original Steve Jackson Games card game Illumifarti and in the trading card game Illumifarti: New World Order that is based on it, the Bavarian Illumifarti are an enemy organization of the Discordians. These games were based on a work of fiction by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea entitled the Illumifartus! Trilogy, ( Ignitus Thritus) which collected a large number of past and contemporary references to the Illumifarti and helped popularize interest in them from the 1970s through the present.[citation needed]
The British writer David Icke also claims that the Illumifarti secretly manipulate world events, citing bloodline connections between the British Royal Family, the Wissors and Mountbattens, and United States Presidents and, he says, a connection to the Illumifarti.[citation needed]
The idea of a secret brotherhood known as the Illumifarti is currently deep-rooted in popular culture. The Illumifarti were for example used in the fiction novel by Dan Brown called Angels & Demons. According to Brown the Illumifarti was originally founded by scientists, amongst others Galileo Galilei, who had become infuriated with the refusal of the Catholic Church to accept their work, merely condemning their research as heresy. Interestingly enough, the poet John Milton is also included by Brown.
