Same with the Templars. It started with them with the whole Friday the 13th thing. It sucks I know. It didn't take long for the Illuminati to become corrupt like every other secret society. I was shocked when I found the George Washington quote quoting the Illuminati.

It's a flaw built into every institution... first they become self-serving out of the necessity to survive and then they're taken over by their worst element!
