Sorry, but IHMO the whole Illumaniti/Freemasons idea is a method created by Communists to shroud their actions and place the blame on their main targets... America and the West.
I would go there. Group name is of tertiary importance, behind agreement/actions and effect.
I will say that I was told about ‘the 500’ who rule the world even by my parents. I used to think they were just plain wrong. Then, I started thinking about the efforts to keep names anonymous in financial wheelings and dealings. Intent is all.

You should read a book called “Enemies within the Gates?: The Comintern and the Stalinist Repression, 1934-1939”. Stalin essentially spent that time period purging Russia of subversive international communists (or globalists). This book is fascinating on many levels as it was revolutionary Stalanist leftists against revolutionary globalist leftists. Both excelled at using political tactics that are now being used against America (ala Saul Alinsky). Most Americans have no idea about their (globalists) patient approach to toppling us from within. One might say that Obama is the culmination of their efforts.
