"America... is attacked by unnatural enemies without and still more wicked wretches within who are aiming to destroy her.... [M]ay they fall into those very pits they themselves have digged for her and... be hanged on the very gallows they have erected for others." Amicus Reipublica (1776)
"Those who direct the Illuminati are against Christ and for Satan. They always remain in the dark, unidentified, and generally unsuspected. They use all peoples to serve their diabolical purposes.... Their primary goal is to form a one world government to have complete control over the entire world, destroying all religions and governments in the process." (1997)
