About this listen

Host Lucien Graves examines how two writers in 1797—Jesuit priest Augustin Barruel and Scottish professor John Robison—transformed the defunct Bavarian Illuminati into history's first modern conspiracy theory. The episode covers how their claims blamed a suppressed secret society for the French Revolution, spread to American politics against Thomas Jefferson, and established enduring patterns in conspiratorial thinking still used today.
