Buzzsaw
Episode 198
The History of the Illuminati & the Secret School of Wisdom with Josef Wages
Illuminati history-from the Bavarian roots of the secret society with Adam Weishaupt, to the mixing with the Freemasons and connections to the revolutions in France and America are explored with Josef Wages. Symbols of the illuminati and freemasons, and how much of the modern pop culture fixation on the Illuminati is misguided, plus the connection to Bohemian Grove are looked at as we go beyond ritual to the philosophy at the heart of the world’s most famous secret society on Buzzsaw, hosted by Sean Stone.
