The internet is rife with sites and posts about Albert Pike, Freemason, having written of three world wars plotten and planned by the Illuminati. The trouble is, all such reports are based on lies and falsifications. Anyone with an open mind will at least read the information at the above cited site, which debunks this pastiche of lies and Pike and the Freemasons. Otherwise, just read the following quote:
"perhaps you’re disappointed to have found nothing about a prediction of three world wars, Communism, Nazism and Zionist Illuminati – or anything of the sort. A search through the entire book, utilizing relevant word combinations, turns up nothing either. Instead, what it truly represents is the scurrilous fantasies, and militant anti-Catholicism of its author: the impostor Leo Taxil aka Dr. Bataille, who profited handsomely while having a million laughs at the expense of both Christians and Masons; who confessed that his entire corpus of anti-Masonic works – spanning twelve years and representing thousands of pages (including the translated excerpt above) – were a complete and utter fraud; a colossal yet ridiculously farcical hoax."
Others make the plans and give the orders. :-/
