16 Mind-Blowing Facts The Illuminati Don't Want You To Know

6. Theories That The Illuminati Run The US Government Originate From The Fact The Declaration Of Independence was Signed Just Months After The Organisation Was Formed

The Illuminati secret society was founded in Bavaria on May 1, 1776 - and, just two months later, on July 4, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by a Continental Congress to establish the original thirteen states of the USA.

Due to the fact the Declaration of Independence came just two months after the formation of the Illuminati, many conspiracy theorists have suggested that some members of the secret organisation were involved in the original establishment of the United States of America.

These theorists then claim that members of the Illuminati have remained as prominent government figures in the USA - in both the Democratic and Republican parties - ever since, and that they are therefore pushing their own secret agenda on to a worldwide scale.
