Reviews

Andreas did a review of Illuminati Manifesto of World Revolution in July 2012. It reads:

Outstanding Serious Scholarship on the Illuminati’s Involvement in the French Revolution!

Luchetti doesn’t merely present Bonneville’s treatise but he also provides the reader with 370+ pages explaining the historical context of this important document and thereby delivers the first scholarly work that uncovers in detail the influence the Bavarian Illuminati had on the French Revolution.

It is important to understand that the Illuminati didn’t invent the plan of the French Revolution the idea of which rather was exported to the Illuminati in Bavaria. They merely reimported back to France a new and improved formula, providing the French revolutionaries with a manual of techniques capable of actually pulling off the Revolution.

Important channels of that Illuminati influence were: i) the 20 Mesmer lodges of Illuminati Mesmer, founded as Illuminati covers in France and never affiliated with true Freemasonry; ii) Bonneville’s Cercle Social; iii) the Chevaliers Bienfaissants’ Templar system centred in Lyons which was linked a) to the Illuminati’s headquarters at Munich known as Lodge “St. Theodore au Bon Conseil", affiliated with the CB Templars of Lyons, and b) to the “Amis Réunis” at Paris the members of which represented the highest power echelons of France. It’s Grandmaster, Savalette de Langes, was an Illuminati since 1787. The oath of all these templar lodges was to destroy the Bourbons (viz. “the lilies”) and the power of the Pope/Rome. By 1779 there was established an alliance between the French Templars’ headquarters at Lyon, the Amis Réunis at Paris and Weishaupt's Bavarian Illuminati. Members of the Amis-Réunis Paris as of 1789 were: Sièyes, Talleyrand, Condorcet, Mirabeau; Danton, Dumouriez; Robespierre, Marat, Beaumarchais, Laclos, Mercier, Saint Just, Babeuf, etc.. Among the Illuminati counted important players such as Mirabeau, Condorcet, the Duke of Orléans, Paine, Lafayette, Cagliostro and Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick.

As for the Brissotins/Illuminati (dubbed "Girondins" by Dumoulins as a propaganda trick used against them), they were responsible for the revolutions of 1789 and August 1792. Then the revolutionary movement was hijacked by Robespierre and his Montagnards through their June 2nd 1993 revolution. The Brissotins/Illuminati stood for atheism, laissez-faire and libertarian (sic!) communism whereas Robespierre defended theism, state socialism and economic intervention to be brought about by what he named "despotism of liberty". The Brissotins/Illuminati were against the September 1792 massacres, against killing the king, against the 1793 dechristianization and the terreur in general. Robespierre persecuted them and set into motion his genocidal policies bent on killing millions of Frenchmen, as testified by atrocities like, e.g., the eradication of Lyon or the extirpation of the Vendée. The Robespierrists thereby revealed themselves to be true pioneers of later communist revolutions.

Not the least of Luchetti’s merits lies in reminding us of “serious” historians who have endorsed Secret Societies’ importance within the French Revolution (e.g.: Louis Blanc, Henri Martin, Bord, Cochin, Gustave Martin, Kropotkin, Mathiez, Hourtoulle). Moreover, Luchetti’s erudition on the French Revolution and profound familiarity with the research done by historians is absolutely stunning.

Hopefully Luchetti will share more of his vast knowledge in future works!

Illuminati Manifesto of World Revolution (1792) "This book is one like you will never see on the Bavarian ...

Why Agorism is on the Radical Left (Feb. 13, 2013)

I stumbled across a book entitled Illuminati: Manifesto of World Revolution (1792) in the course of my research. The author is Nicholas Bonneville. Marco Di Luchetti is the translator, editor, and introduction writer. This book is of supreme interest because it “allows a correct identification of the ideology of the group known in history as the Brissotins.” The Brissotins are relevant to my discussion because they were the first group in history to be called “Left”:

It was during Brissot’s mastery over the Jacobins from 1791 to August 1792 that Jacobin deputies in the Assembly began the practice of seating themselves to the left of the President’s Chair. Gradually, this behavior caused others to spot a “left” and “right” wing. This behavior is the genesis of our modern distinction of “left” and “right.”

My thesis is: when the agorist authors refer to their “historical roots” in the “radical Left,” they mean, in part, roots in the ideology of the Brissotins.

The Brissotins were the first to be called left-wing politicians. (Kindle Locations 226-229, 235)

I plan to expand upon this statement in Part 2. I want to assure you that I am not doing crazy “conspiracy theory” research. This is serious historical research on the French Revolution.

To lure you into reading Part 2, let me very briefly hint at the similarities between radical “Left” agorism and the Brissotin ideology.

Brissotin Political Philosophy:

Bonneville wanted to create a world “without any state to rule over the people. It was utterly libertarian” (Kindle Locations 133).

Brissotin Economics:

In 1793, the Cercle Social [the Brissotins were all members of Bonneville’s Cercle Social] specifically endorsed giving freedom to farmers to sell their goods at market prices... It was only during the Enlightenment that experiments were made to let individuals, unrestrained by state intervention, freely supply markets. When monarchical state controls were removed, supply flourished. When reimposed, supply contracted. (See Kindle Locations 276-281)

Thumbs Up - February 2012

In an article on "Did the Illuminati Kill Breitbart?" -- aimed at debunking some myths about the Illuminati of Bavaria, the author endorses Illuminati Manifesto of World Revolution:

The basic Illuminati political-philosophical ideas (which aren’t that complicated, although they might be shocking to some) therefore made it over to France, and mixed in with the soup of ideas that was brewing and exploded in the French Revolution. To learn more on this topic, see: Illuminati Manifesto of World Revolution by Marco di Luchetti, a translation of L’esprit des religions (1792) by Nicholas Bonneville.

Better Read's Synopsis

This is a good synopsis at Better Reads:

Overview

This is a translation of Nicholas Bonneville's book L'Esprit des Religions from 1792. Bonneville was a leader of a fraternal secret society known as the Cercle Social affiliated to the Bavarian Illuminati. His book clarifies the true Illuminati's political aims.

Killibro's Synopsis

This is a good synopsis at Kilibro:

A translation of a very important book in identifying the ebb and flow of the parties involved in the French Revolution from 1789 to 1793 -- the Spirit of Religions by Bonneville.

Misleading Summary of My Work

In Washington Warned of Illuminati Infiltrating Revolution, this author partly correctly summarizes my "Illuminati Manifesto of World Revolution," but then he throws in the notion the Rothschilds were members, etc., which I never say but it is made to appear I endorse. I do not. Here is the first quote excerpt:

Illuminati Manifesto of World Revolution by Marco de Luchetti, technically a forward to conspirator of the French Revolution Nicholas Bonneville’s 1792 book L’Esprit Des Religions,explains how the French secret society/publisher Le Cercle Social housed the key French members of the Bavarian Illuminati who carried out a definite conspiracy via the French Revolution. Included among the key backers of this Illuminati conspiracy are the Rothschild family, who bankrolled founder Adam Weishaupt, the Saxe-Gotha family who protected Weishaupt after the secret group was exposed, as well as the Marquis de Lafayette, who served as a general in the American Revolution and as a leader of the Garde Nationale in the French Revolution.

No one can sensibly believe the Rothschilds bankrolled Adam Weishaupt. This suggests I say this. I do not. I in fact elsewhere have written the Illuminati excluded Jews entirely from the Order, so it is inconceivable that the Rothschilds were Illuminati, or were connected to the superiors somehow.

Then the author does provide some technically correct summaries and raises the Reign of Terror, but vaguely says "they" -- the Jacobins -- engaged in a reign of terror, and technically says it was after the Illuminati were overpowered by Robespierre, but some might not see the distinction the way this is expressed. I make clear that the enemy of the Illuminati - Robespierre -- is guilty of the terror, while the Cercle Social protested any terror and tried to stop it. Here is the next two paragraphs of this technically accurate but sadly vague synopsis:

The French branch of the Illuminati comprised a distinct faction inside the Jacobins via a political cadre generally referred to as the Girondins; this group was later overpowerd by the Montagnards (also Jacobins), as detailed at length by Luchetti. He argues that under the leadership of Robespierre, they [Who anti-Illuminati Jacobins,as I say? Or Illuminati-inspired Jacobins?] took over and bloodied the revolution already underway, carrying out not only the executions of thousands of aristocrats and clergy members, but exacting also a larger depopulation effort, particularly among the plebiscites.

Luchetti documents how an effort had been declared to wipe out 2/3 of all of France, aiming to eradicate some 16 million people from the nearly 25 million who comprised France’s population at the time. From page 337:

Two thirds of the citizens are villains: the enemies of liberty. They ought to be exterminated. Terror is the Supreme Law. It is the instrument to aid us. It is an object of veneration. Destruction must be constantly the order of the day. If the sword ceases to operate, if the executioners do not serve as fathers of their country, liberty is at risk. It wants to reign over a pile of cadavers, watered by the blood of its enemies.

Then the next paragraph of the synopsis is correct:

Not surprisingly, after the Cercle Social played such a crucial role in overthrowing the existing order and seizing power, many of the French Illuminists who had opposed Robespierre from within the Jacobins were arrested and or executed under Robespierre’s reign.

This last synopsis is fairly accurate although not precisely accurate. Robespierre usurped the Jacobins under Brissot's control, and ejected him entirely from the club in October 1792. Thus, the terror which post-dates this time is solely the responsibility of anti-Illuminist Jacobins -- such as Robespierre - and the defector, Cloots.

The author then offers some of his own research on Paine which is fair game, I suppose.

Philip's Appreciation in Email 5/10/2014

Your book is incredibly rich, and there are so many dimensions to it. I was originally drawn to it because it answers so many questions about late eighteenth century politics and social thought that have remained a mystery to me. We can discuss this in depth later. Right now my greatest realization from reading it has been in understanding the integration of the spiritual with the social science dimension of the Enlightenment. I've always been drawn to Condorcet. But given the calumnies written about him by the "Enemies of the Enlightenment," (see the marvelous book with that title by Darrin M McMahon) I couldn't reconcile how this so-called Materialist who first sketched out the outlines of the social democratic state could have been a creature of compassion. Your linking of the secret spiritual lodges to the Cercle Social and the Jacobins, before they were transformed by the agents of the terror opens up an answer. It also answers how the Party of Humanity became corrupted by those who transformed libertarian communism (as you so well name it) into a dictatorship of the proletariat.

Alex's Appreciation in Email of December 7, 2014

Hi,Marco!

Thank you so much of your fantastic book! I am really

enjoying it. It helps us understand French Revolution and

proto-Marxism originated from Illuminati philosopher Weishaupt.

Thanks.

Alex

Alex's Appreciation Repeated on December 11, 2014

I really appreciate your book ( I have a hard copy). This reveals a lot of things.

Without this book, we would know only superficially about Weishaupt's thought and revolutionary movement in history.

I really appreciate your great effort.

Thanks

Friends of Thomas Paine Article from 2013

Online is an article by a contributor to the Friends of Thomas Paine that summarizes my book -- it is a 3 page pdf ... found here.

The article is entitled "A New Look at the Writings of Thomas Paine While He Lived in France," written by John B. Shrawder.

The first page reads:

To celebrate his birthday I read a book on Paine's experience in France and wrote the following review on it. The book is entitled Illuminati Manifesto of World Revolution by Nicolas Bonneville with an Introduction by Marco Di Luchetti, Booksurge Publishing, 2011. In the following paper I combined the findings expressed in the book with known events from the French Revolution and the life of Thomas Paine.

****

What happened between 1792 when Paine went to France and 1794 when he finished The Age of Reason Part I? Could a clue be in his will (1809)? Paine gave most of his esctte to the Bomeville family and especially to the patriarch Nicholas Bonneville of Paris, France.

Bonneville was a major figure in Paine's life. Who was he and how could he have influenced Paine after 1792? L'Esprit des Religions, a work attributed to Nicolas Bonneville, has recently been translated as, The Illumlinati Manifesto of World Revolution, 1792. bv Marco Di Luchetti, Esq., of Bologna, Italy. A drawing of Thomas Paine is on the center of the cover.

Bonneville is listed as the author. However, Bonneville's pamphlet is only about 42 pages while the introduction is 376 pages. It is difficult to see how Paine could have been a member of

I was originally put off by the reference to the Illuminati, thinking this was a book about fantastic conspiracy theories. However, the Illuminati was a well-known group from Bavaria in the 1770s and 1780s. Di Luchetti's book contains serious scholarship; it contains substantial documentation from European sources that are difficult to find.

The introduction is a hard read. It is not well organized and takes substantial time to understand. Nonetheless, it is worth the effort for Paine enthusiasts as it provides substantial information about the complex events that occurred in France in the 1780s and early 1790s.

The basic connection between the two men--Paine and Bonneville-is well documented. Paine became a member of the Social Circle which was Bonneville's publishing house in Paris, and which served as Paine's translator and publisher in France. Paine lived with the Bonneville family in France fiom 1797 to 1802; Bomevilfe's wife and sons lived with Paine in America after 1802. Nicolas Bonneville was born in 1760 and was proficient in several languages. While in his 20s he was a translator of d'Alembert, a co-editor of the Encyclopedie.

Because of Paine's influence, Bonneville's son Benjamin attended West Point and was the subject of Washington Irving's 1837 book The Adventures of Captain Bonneville. At some point Nicolas Bomeville moved to New York; he was observed by Irving at Battery Park in New York in the early 1820s. He passed away in Paris in 1828 so likely he traveled with Lafayette to France in 1824.

Di Luchetti argues that both Paine and Nicolas Bomeville were members of the Illuminati.

Adam Weishaupt formed the Illuminati in Bavaria on May 1, 1776 (soon after Paine wrote Common Sense in Philadelphia). In 1785 Weishaupt and other members of the Illuminati were forced to flee Bavaria after secret societies were outlawed. One member of the Illuminati was shuck by lightning during their flight. The papers in his possession, with a list of Illuminati members, were seized by the Bavarian Government. These names were made public in an 1869 book derived from the archives of the Austrian government. The membership included Bomeville, Paine, and many leading members of the 1789 French Revolution. No other Americans were on the list.

Di Luchetti establishes the connection between the Illuminati of Bavaria and the Les Amis Reunis lodge in Paris. He finds evidence of meetings between Bomeville and Illuminati leader Bode in 1787 and 1788 in Paris. In 1789 Bomeville formed the Social Circle publishing house which became the most prolific. Most of those in the French Illuminati are commonly named the "Girondins".

[Page 4 of the article continues at this link.]

I am sorry about the length of the Introduction, but one must realize it is a condensed version of an immense topic of great complexity. But without it, Bonneville's work has no importance to historians. But if one realizes we are reading the leading ideological work of the same person who was the architect of both the Revolution of 1789 and 1792 -- the ideological leader -- then suddenly an obscure book known as L'Esprit des Religions takes on immense importance, and likely deserved even more explanation than just 362 or so pages. It was a balancing act, to say the least. Marco.

Alex Appreciates Illuminati Manifesto of World Revolution

I really appreciate your book. I did not have any knowledge about the Circle Social and Nicholas Bonneville at all. Now I can see the mechanism of the French Revolution behind the scenes. And I can see now Marx-Circle Social (Bonneville)-Weishaupt line to understand the revolutionary movement in history. Your publication is tremendous help to those who want to understand modern history. Circle Scoial /Bonneville has been completely out of sight to grasp what happened in the French Revolution.

Thanks

Alex (12/16/2014)

Alex on 1/6/2015

I feel it has got impossible to discuss the French Revolution or its background/underground thought systems and network activities without your book on the Circle Social any more.

Your contribution is priceless. I really appreciate it.

Thanks.
