The 13 Alleged Families
According to this framework, the thirteen specific family bloodlines are: [1]
- Astor
- Bundy
- Collins
- DuPont
- Freeman
- Kennedy
- Li
- Onassis
- Rockefeller
- Rothschild
- Russell
- Van Duyn
- The Merovingian (the 13th, allegedly sacred/satanic line) [1, 2]
Global Control: Proponents claim these families maintain power across generations through intermarriage, banking dominance, and occult rituals. [1, 2]
The Inner Core: Five of these families (frequently cited as Rothschild, Rockefeller, and others) are said to form an inner ruling core. [1, 2]
Historical Reality: Historians and researchers note that these bloodline theories have no factual basis and trace back to modern conspiracy narratives rather than the actual historical Bavarian Illuminati founded in 1776. [1, 2]
