McKeown version 2.0 Last modified: 19 March, 2004 <http://anti-masonry.info/alt.illuminati_FAQ.html> The Illuminati has played a central role in what was once termed the plot theory of history but now is simply called conspiracy theory. The difficulty--if not impossibility--in documenting actual causality between incidents, trends, events, personages and groups has not prevented an exponential growth in theories, speculations, opinions and accusations. The alt.illuminati FAQ is intended to provide what documented facts are available and provide an overview of the many theories.
