The Illuminatti, founded by Bavarian law professor Adam Weishaupt in 1776, was a secret organization whose members studied rationalistic philosophy and the humanities to achieve “illumination.” Today, some mainstream historians view the Jacobins as an offshoot of the Illuminatti movement, though hardly a conspiratorial one. See James Coates, “Survival of the Fittest,” Armed and Dangerous: The Rise of the Survivalist Right (New York: Wang & Hill, 1987), 238.

Some historians contend that French political police forged the Simonini letter to turn Napoleon I against French Jews.

LaRouche was an SDS leader during the Viet Nam War, taking part in the student strike at Columbia University in 1968. In 1973, convinced that the Soviet KGB wanted to kill him, he lurched dramatically to the right, espousing anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories. In 1986 he persuaded 700,000 Californians to sign a petition requiring people with AIDS to report to police authorities and to carry special identity cards; the referendum failed.
