Illuminati Symbolism??

[Childlike Empress]

Robert Anton Wilson was so often accused of being the head of the Illuminati that he started to admit it.

Illuminatus! is much more than a satirical book. I had a very brief period in the late nineties where I was in danger of becoming a conspiracy theorist in the correct definition of the term, but reading that book saved me and immensely sharpened my critical thinking skills in dealing with the unknown. It works on many levels and is useful to read for both conspiracy theorists and coincidence theorists if they have a robust humour (and aren't prude). Now, according to the flawed propaganda definition of conspiracy theorist many on this forum use, i'm still one, but at least I decide on a case to case basis.

That CTers neither get the concept of satire, or understand what fiction means is no news. The whole '23-enigma' comes from the "Illuminatus!" trilogy.

They adopted it from William S. Burroughs IIRC.

He claims to have. Whether that's just part of creating the mythos of 'everything is somehow connected to 23' is another question.

Egypt. After all, it was aliens that truly built them. I don't actually know this. I will say that the first UFO's I saw were indeed triangles but that wasn't the only shape I saw. I also saw brown rusty spots in the sky. There is no need to pick me up and remove any implants from me as they were already removed awhile back. Of course they had to knock me out and move me to a secret government location to do it but that's another story. Happens all the time.

The use of an eye as the symbol for a TV station / motion picture / visual media company is hardly surprising. You watch it. Only for paranoid people does this not make sense. And besides, it's a simple, yet cool symbol. And it fits the topic.

Or are they watching YOU?!??

I'm not very knowledgeable about the 23 CT's but i'm not the least bit surprised it has origins in the Illuminatus books lol.
