DDO = Illuminati

Let me briefly sum up his arguments (numbered and underlined) in order to highlight their essence and more succinctly refute them. ILLUMINATI1. According to Wikipedia, the Illuminati disbanded due to internal disputes and a government edict. Wikipedia is not telling the truth. Why? Because Wikipedia is part of the Illuminati. Look at their logo. It is an uncompleted globe puzzle with each puzzle bearing a symbol from a different language. Like the Illuminati pyramid without a capstone, the Wikipedia globe with the missing top represents the status of the Illuminati plan for global domination. It's approaching completion, and my opponent is (unintentionally? ) collaborating in our demise by helping keep the sheeple asleep. Supposedly, the "straw that broke the camel's back" and ended the Illuminati was a dispute between Weishaupt and Knigge. However, Weishaupt himself disagreed. Here are his own comments on the dispute to which my opponent refers, with my own emphasis added:"I answer for nothing when I meet with resistance from my adepts; I have foreseen everything, and I have prepared everything. Let my whole Order go to rack and ruin; in three years I will answer to restore it, and that to a more powerful state than it is in at present -- Obstacles only stimulate my activity. I know how to turn them to my advantage; and when people think that I am undone, even then shall I rise stronger than ever. Let that person [Knigge] leave me who thinks that he can better himself elsewhere; and time will show who is mistaken. I know how to find men more docile. I can sacrifice whole provinces, the desertion of a few individuals, therefore, will not alarm me. "(2)So much for the "straw that broke the camel's back. " This dispute only spurred the Illuminati on in their plans, yet my opponent cites it as proof of their destruction!2. The Illuminati was nothing more than a "boys' club". President George Washington called their ideology "diabolical,"(1) and according to Weishaupt:". .. it is really the fact in some states, that potent Monarchs are governed by our Order . .. When you have succeeded anywhere in making yourself master of the public authority and government, you will pretend not to have the least power . .. "(3)The Illuminati secretely governed Kings. Some "boys' club"!3. The belief in conspiracy circles that the Illuminati survives today and was behind the French Revolution is due to to unproven hypotheses of John Robison and Augustin Barruel. But Robison proved his hypotheses with paraphrases from the Illuminati themselves, and Barruel did the same, except with word-for-word, verbatim quotes accompanied by well-known historical facts. Everyone accepts that Jacobinism was primarily responsible for the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution, and President George Washington considered Jacobinism and Illuminism to be practically the same thing. (1) The Jacobins were the Illuminati, after it became officially illegal or frowned upon to call yourself a member of the "Illuminati. ""No matter what the cloak may be, provided you succeed; a cloak is however always necessary, for in secrecy our strength principally lies . .. For this reason we should always conceal ourselves under the name of some other association. The inferior lodges of Freemasonry are the most convenient cloaks for our grand object, because the world is already familiarized with the idea that nothing of importance, or worthy of their attention can spring from Masonry. — The name of a literary society is also a proper mask for our first classes. "(3) - Weishaupt4. The original illuminati, with their original tenets, are no more. I am actually proving otherwise. DEBATE DOT ORG1. Pro thinks the two O's in Google mean eyes. Actually, I was saying that the name Google is an adjective which describes the eyes and means bulging or staring. It was first used in this sense for the character Barney Google, so named because of his goggly-eyes. Goggly, googly, and google all mean the same thing. They are all adjectives describing bulging eyes. Hence, the link to the Illuminati.2. The founders of Debate. org aren't in the Illuminati. I have to note the irony in which my opponent indulges when he cites an Illuminati website, Linkedin, to support his argument. The icon of Linkedin is the two letters i and n, which when pronounced in succession, sounds like ayin, the Hebrew word for eye. Illuminati confirmed. By the way, just because my opponent can't find any connections between the founders of Debate. org and the Illuminati, doesn't mean they aren't in the Illuminati. The Illuminati is a secret society, after all, and are actively trying not to be discovered.3. Axolotls develop eyelids. Yes, after they metamorphose, but the avatar of airmax1227 is not of a metamorphosed axolotl. Also, his name is AIR Max. What is the chemical symbol for air? Illuminati confirmed.4. imabench is literally a bench. False. A bench is, "a long seat for several people, typically made of wood or stone. "(5) Clearly a bench cannot debate, yet imabench has 600 debates.5. Iannan13 has a Jew as his avatar and the Illuminati prohibited Jews from joining, so he can't be in the Illuminati. Did the Illuminati prohibit Jews from joining? I request a source from my opponent. I admit that I've read this before, however I do not recall seeing any proof. But it wouldn't matter anyway. If it were true, it would have been merely to hide Weishaupt's background, since he was actually of Jewish ethnicity himself. (4) So whether he hypocritically banned Jews from his society isn't really relevant.6. The Illuminati was against religion so YYW can't both be in the Illuminati and have a religious name. The Illuminati borrowed rituals and allegories from Freemasonry, including the use of the Hebrew name Y-H-V-H (Jehovah). The religious interpret it as the god of their particular religion; atheists interpret it to merely signify the universe.7. bsh1 is a guy. I apologize for the confusion; however, even guys can be in the Illuminati.8. My opponent's avatar is masonic, not related to the Illuminati, and Freemasons disliked the Illuminati. My opponent cannot really say this because many Freemasons were in the Illuminati, most notably Weishaupt himself. My opponent also claims he's not in the Illuminati:"But no, I'm not part of the Illuminati. "You know, that sounds awfully like something an Illuminatus would say!
