26 The Illuminati Using the methods of earlier secret societies, Weishaupt, through his organizing ability, was able to make the Illuminati one of the most effective instruments of evil that has ever been uncovered. Using the philosophy that "the end justifies the means," his methods became a model for world revolution. Eventually, the Order became suspect by the government of Bavaria, resulting in an investigation by a Bavarian Court of Inquiry in 1783.

The King had already planned to tear down the ancient prison, but this was something his enemies could not afford him the honor of doing. An area also not overlooked by the revolutionaries was the corrupting of the military, whether by bribery, the use of prostitutes, or outright murder.
