This website is dedicated to a scholarly study of the Illuminati of Bavaria, with a focus on their role in the French Revolutions of 1789 and 1792. My thesis is the Illuminati of France were centered in 1789 upon Mirabeau, Bonneville & Savalette de Langes. These men with numerous allies successfully engineered the Revolution of 1789.
Their group later evolved into the Cercle Social organization founded by Bonneville -- a secret lodge and publishing house. They were libertarian communists.
The Cercle Social took dominant national power when Brissot, a leading member, rose to power in March 1792.
When in May 1792 the king sacked the Brissotin ministers of state, the Brissotins engineered the overthrow of the Monarchy on August 10, 1792.
Thus, the Illuminati were responsible for both the Revolution of 1789 and the one of 1792.
Then Robespierre became the enemy of the Brissotins, and their cosmopolitan libertarianism. In early 1793, Robespierre conspired with the Commune (mayor's office) to destroy them, smearing the Brissotins as the Girondin party (a total fiction).
In the revolution of May 31-June 2, 1793, Robespierre usurped the left seating position of the Brissotins in the legislature by forcibly arresting them in their seats. In doing so, Robespierre's allies now seated themselves on the left where the Brissotins had been, but this time with an opposite agenda. The Robespierrists had an anti-libertarian dictatorial agenda which aimed to give the state direct control over the economy as a deliberate means to strengthen a dictatorship.
Robespierre: Usurped Left With Right Wing AimsHence, Robespierre was a phony leftist, supplanting an original leftism which was libertarian and anti-socialist by modern standards. Those of Robespierre's type later claimed the mantle of liberalism that belonged to the Brissotins when the Robespierriests were the opposite of liberals --- they were de facto socialistic tyrants.
Robespierrists held theories that the Cercle Social in 1793 openly regarded as the enemy of their liberal theories, bringing to naught all the progress of the Revolutions of 1789 and 1792. Pamphlets from the Cercle Social during 1793 such as Bancal's On Subsistances amply demonstrate their opposition to statist control over the economy as injurious to liberty, historically right-wing and monarchical, as well as bad government. Bancal's book and other Cercle Social works are available in the Rare Book section of this site.
Whether the Illuminati survived depends on tracing their role in the French Revolutions of 1789 and 1792, and their persecution by Robespierre in 1793.

The exposures by Barruel and Robison in 1798-1799 sealed
the Illuminati's fate to live on mostly in these anti-Illuminati works.
Yet, those exposures unintentionally gave the blueprints for those wed
to Robespierre's brand of state socialism to use Illuminist systems to guarantee success. These exposures also inadvertently fed dreams of a
libertarian communism which socialist revolutionaries in the 1840s used as bait. It became a perfect political bait-and-switch --
offering utmost liberty ("withering away of the state") obtained by
passage through a "dictatorship of the proletariat." This maxim urged as necessary an anti-libertarian system
--- state-socialism -- as the means to reach the final dream of a stateless society. Thus,
the modern delusion was born that the utmost liberty could emerge from
the most totalitarian systems.
Hence, the current politics of
our day directly are influenced by the successful hijacking in 1793 by Robespierre of the liberal and pro-libertarian Revolutions of 1789 and
1792. The historians who continue to portray Robespierre's socialistic
policies as left and liberal have let down the ones who truly earned
the right to be called left and liberal: the Illuminati agents at the
Cercle Social such as Bonneville, Brissot, Condorcet, Paine, etc.
Robespierre's
socialistic anti-liberal agenda thus should be regarded as extreme
right wing. Then the original meaning of left and liberal (less
government, less taxes, freedoms guaranteed, etc.) might one day be
restored so that the common man will recognize his friends and
distinguish them from his enemies.
