                                 BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI
            Founded by Hassan i Sabbah, 1090 A.D. (3090 A.L., 4850 A.M.)
            Reformed by Adam Weishaupt, 1776 A.D. (5776 A.D., 5536 A.M.)

       From:  MAD MALIK, Hauptscheissmeister
       
       Dear Brother Mal-2,
       
       In response to your request for unclassified agitprop to be inserted 
       in the new edition of _Principia,_ hope the following will be of use.  
       And please stop bothering us with your incessant letters!
       
       Episkopos Mordecai, Keeper of the Notary Sojac, informs me that you 
       are welcome to reveal that our oldest extant records show us to have 
       been fully established in Atlantis, circa 18 000 B.C., under Kull, the 
       galley slave who ascended to the Throne of Valusia.  Revived by Pelias 
       of Koth, circa 10 000 B.C.  Possible it was he who taught the inner 
       teachings to Conan of Cimmeria after Conan because King of Aquilonia.  
       First brought to the western hemisphere by Conan and taught to Mayan 
       priesthood (Conan is Quetzlcoatl).  That was 4 Ahua, 8 Cumhu, Mayn 
       date.  revived by Abdul Alhazrad in his infamous _Al Azif,_ circa 800 
       A.D.  (_Al Azif_ translated into Latin by Olaus Wormius, 1132 A.D., as 
       _The Necronomicon._)  In 1090 A.D. was the founding of the Ismaelian 
       Sect (Hashishim) by Hassan i Sabbah, with secret teachings based on 
       Alhazred, Pelias, and Kull.  Founding of the Illuminated Ones of 
       Bavaria, by Adam Weishaupt, on May 1, 1776.  He based it on the 
       others.  Weishaupt brought it to the United States during the period 
       that he was impersonating George Washington; and it was he who was the 
       Man in Black who gave the design for the Great Seal to Jeferson in the 
       garden that night.  The Illuminated tradition is now, of course, in 
       the hands of the Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria (A.I.S.B.), 
       headquartered here in the United States.
       
       Our teachings are not, need I remind you, available for publication.  
       No harm, though, in admitting that some of them can be found disguised 
       in Joyce's _Finnegan's Wake,_ Burrough's _Nova Express,_ the King 
       James translation of _The Holy Bible_ (though not the Latin or 
       Hebrew), the _The Blue Book._  Not to speak of Ben Franklin's private 
       papers (!), but we are still suppressing those.
       
       Considering current developments -- you know the ones I speak of -- it 
       has been decided to reveal a few more of our front organizations.  
       Your publication is timely, so mention that in addition to the old 
       fronts like the Masons, the Rothchild banks, and the Federal Reserve 
       System, we now have significant control of the Federal Bureau of 
       Investigation (since Hoover died last year, but that is still secret), 
       the Students for a Democratic Society, the Communist Party U.S.A., the 
       American Anarchist Association, the John Dillinger Died For You 
       Society and the Camp Fire Girls.  It is still useful to continue the 
       sham of the Birchers that we are seeking world domination; so do not 
       reveal that political and economic control was generally complete 
       several generations ago and that we are just playing with the world 
       for a while until civilization advances sufficiently for phase five.

       In fact you might still push Vennard's _The Federal Reserve Hoax_:  
       "Since the Babylonian Captivity there has existed a determined, 
       behind-the-scenes, under-the-table, atheistic, satanic, anti-Christian 
       force -- worshippers of Mammon -- whose undying purpose is world 
       control through the control of Money.  July 1, 1776 [correct that to 
       May 1st -- Vennard can't get anything right] the Serpent raised its 
       head in the underground secret society known as the Illuminati, 
       founded by Adam Weishaupt.  There is considerable documentary evidence 
       to prove all revolutions, wars, depressions, strikes, and chaos stem 
       from this source."  Etc., etc.  You know the stuff.
       
       The general location of our U.S. HQ, incidentally, has been nearly 
       exposed; and so we will be moving for the first time this century 
       (what a drag!).  If you want, you can reveal that it is located deep 
       in the labyrinth of sewers beneath Dealy Plaza in Dallas, and is 
       presided over by the Dealy Lama.  Enclosed are some plans for several 
       new potential locations.  Please review and add any comments you feel 
       pertinent, especially regarding the Eristic propensity of the Pentagon 
       site.
       
       Oh, and we have some good news for you, Brother Mal!  You know that 
       Zambian cybernetics genius who joined us?  Well, he has secretly 
       coordinated the FBI computers with the Zurich System and our 
       theoreticians are in ecstasy over the new information coming out.  
       Look, if you people out there can keep from blowing yourselves up for 
       only two more generations, then we will finally have it.  After 20 000 
       years, Kull's dream will be realized!  We can hardly believe it.  But 
       the outcome is certain, given the time.  Our grandchildren, Mal!  If 
       civilization makes it through this crisis, our grandchildren will 
       live in a world of authentic freedom and authentic harmony and 
       authentic satisfaction.  I hope I'm alive to see it, Mal, success is 
       in our grasp.  Twenty thousand years...!
       
       Ah, I get spaced just thinking about it.  Good luck on the 
       _Principia._  Ewige Blumenkraft!  HAIL ERIS.
       
                                                              Love, MAD MALIK
