Our Forefathers gathered secretly to establish a nation. If they had failed we would only have known them as a band of criminal conspirators (Many of them were Freemasons). This is not to say that conspiracies are good, or bad, but those that deny that conspiracies exist are, in reality, participating in the greatest criminal conspiracy: The voiding themselves of all sentience and consciousness. The following History Club presentation below was quite illuminating.
The presentation starts with a dedication to the works of Antony C. Sutton (Feb. 14, 1925 - June 17, 2002 see http://antonysutton.com ). Anyone who has seen the movie THE SKULLS will have a leg up in understanding where we are going with this. The Order of the Skull and Bones is not a fraternity or eating club. It evolved from the Bavararian Illuminati and there exists no other chapter anywhere. They choose you. You cannot join. They are essentially the heirs of the "Illuminati Structure" below. They founded the American Historical Association. They log over 20 US Senators and 3 US presidents (Taft and the two Bushes, so far, and one contender, the "Throw Away Canditate" Kerry (His only purpose was to keep out viable opposition). . 
Will Durant, in his multi volume Story of Civilization speaks of agendas of certain families that move through history like a plow. The following is a flow chart where I attempt to connect these family groups. The "Orders" or "Societies" are mostly groups of lackeys serving specific family lines and their agendas.

"The conjunction of an immense military establishment and a huge arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence --economic, political, and even spiritual-- is felt in every city, every state house, and every office of the federal government . . . In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex."  - President Dwight D. Eisenhower January 17, 1961 Farewell Address to the Nation
Masks of the Illuminati

Technically, an Illuminatus is a Master Mason who has received all the "light" Masonry can bestow. He is beyond 32° and even beyond 33°! Such people are known as the Masters of Masters of the Temple, and collectively are known by several names other than the Illuminati.
