May day marks the birth of modern Communism. The occasion is marked by well funded and publicized street theater which is conducted around the world. Useful idiots are being trotted out to advocate centralized government run by the powerful. Following is a brief history of the day. To understand history, is to understand what deserves to be honored - and what should be relegated to history's sewer.

On May 1, 1776, the order of the Illuminati was officially launched, at Ingolstadt University, in Bavaria, by a Professor named Adam Weishaupt. This secretive group would draw up the basic outline for modern Communism. This Illuminati called for the overthrow of all sovereign nations which would be replaced by, what Weishaupt called, a "New World Order," or one world government. They advocated the overthrow of all ecclesiastical authority and belief in G-d, the abolition of private business and property, and the re-molding of mankind into a collective. The Illuminati was the primary philosophical, if not literal, influence behind the French Revolution and the birth of the modern collectivist state with it's accompanying reign of terror.

The Illuminati, and their left-wing philosophical descendants, have always claimed to represent "the people," yet, then, as now, their ideas generally attract the most wealthy and powerful. The Illuminati was, exclusively, made up of aristocrats, intellegencia, and men of wealth. While their raison d'etre, then and now, was human "progress," nothing could be further from the truth. This monstrous lie was, and is, responsible for, according to the Black Book of Communism, around 100 million murders. This would constitute four times more murders than committed by their close Fascist cousins. Untold generations have endured suffering, poverty, and slavery as a result of this most regressive movement, the most regressive in history.

The Illuminati was, in fact, created by Europe's wealthy elite to stop a fast developing movement toward freedom taking hold in the Continent in the eighteenth century. The Protestant Reformation had brought the Bible and a personal relationship with G-d to the common man. This reform would also extend, to a degree, to the Roman Church. The Gutenberg Bible and the creation of the University marked a movement toward literacy and a promulgation of philosophy and industry. The Magna Carta would lead to, centuries later in England and America, the development of private property, a separation of powers, and a rising middle class. The spirit of genuine progress was best described by Adam Smith, father of Capitalism, in "Wealth of Nations," published around the same time as the establishment of Weishaupt's Illuminati.

Karl Marx would be hired, in 1847, by the secretive "Communist League," also known as the "League of the Just," to write the Communist Manifesto, which outlines the world government agenda of the left. The Manifesto lays out ten planks that make up a sort of Constitution for the left. They are as follows: (Foreign Language Press; Peking 1972):

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes(government control).
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labour. establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools(government run schools).

Average citizens are duped into giving up their right to private property, the first building block of freedom, to a secretive oligarchy which claims to act in their name. Basic notions of morality, which provide the sovereign citizen a point of reference upon which to model his life, are undermined by this same cabal which claims superior, scientific, knowledge in these areas. In the name of freedom and "human rights," otherwise rational people are duped into working for the enthronement of this ancient oriental monarchal principle.

The recent protests at the WTO and other international banking and trade conventions are a good example of this subterfuge. The protestors are not advocating for self rule and democratic principles. Such principles would be inherent in sovereign nations where elected officials represent the interests of the citizens and operate in a context of a Constitution. Instead, they have been duped into agitating for bigger government and the development of a world government which would control human conduct, property, trade, and the environment, all in the name of "the people."

Adam Weishaupt's ghost must be quite gladdened by the forces he launched on May day.
