Looking for more information about the Illuminati?

Question

Ive found a bunch of general sites, most of which make the NWO sound like a good thing (gasp!), anyone know of more in-depth books or web sites that cover origin, history, and current involvement? Everything i find dead ends at the same information. 13 bloodines, how to join, peace thru humanity, blah blah blah.

yeah, Ive read the Trilogy, but trying to seperate fact from fiction without knowing much was kind of hard, plus it was more boring than War and Peace :)

Wikipedia is written by the public for the public, just cause its on there doesnt mean its true, I checked it out a while back, same circular logic forthe most part.

Answer 1

I know the Illuminati came into public notice when it was revealed that a group of Freemasons had a secret society within their secret society.
The Bavarian Illuminati was found out and exposed at that point, but most didn't give it too much thought.

Answer 2

The term Illuminati refers to all kinds of groups people want to attack for secretly controlling the world - hence the connection to the "New World Order". The Illuminati have been both Communists and Jews in various hate campaigns. The original term refers to people active in The Enlightenment like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin .

Answer 3

I am aware of a book by Robert Anton Wilson (co-authored by robert shea) called the Illuminatus Trilogy.
