Illuminatist control is everywhere, if you just look. And it's woven through history. Alchemists trying to turn lead into gold. Well, it's been done. Only they've turned paper into gold with the World Bank / International Monetary Fund. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve bank is the local branch of the World Bank. The Fed opened its doors in 1913 with a zero balance. Printed some "money" on paper and offered it to the public. Debt creation. No debt exists until you borrow that paper money, then for every dollar put into circulation, a dollar of debt is created. And damned if the whole country isn't running on funny money now. Most of the WORLD. If that's not alchemy, I don't know what is. Turned paper into gold, of a sort...debt...your promise to pay off with labor. They now own you. And this slave system was imported to the U.S. from Europe with very little secrecy. The Illuminatists don't need to operate in secrecy as long as they promise wealth.

It is natural that Illuminatists were drawn to money lending and banking, what with their insane obsession with numbers and numerology. It's just sad that more people are still so ignorant of the situation that they'd actually send their kids off to die in sacrificial wars.
