On December 31st  1797 John Robison published Proofs of a Conspiracy in Edinburgh and revealed to the world the existence of the Illuminati.

Conspiracy theorists are rife nowadays, from  the Kennedy assassination, to the moon landings, and even to the Covid pandemic that we are in the grip of as I write this, and loads more in between, but way back in the 18th century,  John Robison, a Scottish scientist who maintained that the French revolution was the work of a covert Masonic cell known as the Illuminati published, arguably the first book to talk about them openly.

At the beginning of 1797, John Robison was a man with a solid and long-established reputation in the scientific establishment in the midst of the Scottish enlightenment. He had been Professor of Natural Philosophy at Edinburgh University for over twenty years, an authority on mathematics and optics; he had recently been appointed senior scientific contributor on the third edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, to which he would contribute over a thousand pages of articles. Yet by the end of the year his professional reputation had been eclipsed by a sensational book that vastly outsold anything he had previously written, and whose shockwaves would continue to reverberate long after his scientific work had been forgotten. Its title was Proofs of a Conspiracy against all the Religions and Governments of Europe, and it launched on the English-speaking public the enduring theory that a vast conspiracy, masterminded by a covert Masonic cell known as the Illuminati, was in the process of subverting all the cherished institutions of the civilised world into instruments of its secret and godless plan: the tyranny of the masses under the invisible control of unknown superiors, and a new era of ‘darkness over all’.

A secret agent monk, Alexander Horn provided much of the material for Robison's allegations. Robison goes through great detail about Adam Weisshaupt, founder of the Order of the Illuminati, and his infiltration of the Free Masons with a grand plan to overturn the social and political order of Europe and his successes.

The first edition of Proofs of a Conspiracy sold out within days, and within a year it had been republished many times, not only in Edinburgh but in London, Dublin and New York. Robison had hit a nerve by offering an answer to the great questions of the day: what had caused the French Revolution, and what had driven its bloody and tumultuous progress? From his vantage point in Edinburgh he had, along with millions of others, followed with horror the reports of France dismembering its monarchy, dispossessing its church and transforming its downtrodden and brutalised population into the most ruthless fighting force Europe had ever seen – and now, under the rising star of the young general Napoleon Bonaparte, attempting to export the carnage and destruction to its surrounding monarchies, not least Britain itself. But Robison believed that he alone had identified the hidden hand responsible for the apparently senseless eruption of terror and war that now appeared to be consuming the world.

As well as being the “inventor” of conspiracy theories Robison was a bit of a polymath, that’s a jack of all trades but on a higher level! John Robison is also credited with inventing the siren.  Robison’s sirens were used as musical instruments; specifically, they powered some of the pipes in an organ.

End of the world

I was literally begging her not to leave me. I was trying my best to somehow stop her and make her change her mind but it just doesn’t seem to be working.

After a while she got frustrated and looked directly in my eyes held my hand and said “… It’s not the end of the world, sehal! , I know it’s hard for you, but try to understand me, I don’t want to hurt you anymore….”

I just stood there for a second looking at her.. I don’t know what to say.. I couldn’t speak, I knew it was the last time I am looking at her and I wanted to scream and say something that somehow make her stay but you know, it was like in nightmare you see something frightening and you try to scream for help but you just can’t.. your voice just doesn’t seems to work.. it’s was like that only. I felt so broken, so vulnerable that part of my body refuses to work.

Tears rolling down my cheeks and heart breaking into pieces, watching life falls apart in front my eyes, huh how could I possibly make her understand that it was indeed the end of my world.

“I love you both, now quit fighting…” – Take 2!!! I think I like the lined one better so unless @fefreziweek wants to reblog both versions I’d prefer they go for this one. I’m a sucker for ashen ships and so when today’s theme turned out to involve Eridan making a bother out of himself I just couldn’t resist. >8o
