The Birth of the Illuminati: Fact, Fiction & Hidden Power

When the term “Illuminati” is mentioned, many imagine shadowy elites pulling the strings of world events. But the real story of the Order of the Illuminati begins in Bavaria in 1776, with professor Adam Weishaupt and a radical vision of reason, liberty and secrecy. In this premiere episode of The Broken Truth Podcast we’ll uncover:

- Who the Illuminati really were and how they operated
- How myth and fear outlived the order itself
- Why secrecy breeds suspicion and how groups like the Illuminati become immortal in our collective imagination
- Why, in an age of information, people still believe hidden powers guide our world
