What is the link between the Illuminati and Freemasonry?
While many contemporary conspiracy theorists claim that the Illuminati is made up of “high-ranking” 33° freemasons, just as many other conspiracy theorists claim that this is an unprovable red herring that distracts from the very real and provable conspiracies. Freemasonry denies any connection other than a brief historical association with the Bavarian Illuminati. Many conspiracy theorists use the terms Freemasons, Illuminati, Zionist Occupied Government (ZOG) and New World Order almost interchangably. The masonic response to many of these accusations can be found in the Anti-masonry FAQ, available at anti-masonry.info/anti-masonry_faq.html.
