Illuminati

The **Illuminati** (plural of Latin *illuminatus,* 'enlightened') is a name given to several groups, both real and fictitious. The term has been used since the 15th century CE.

## Historical

Historically, the name usually refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded by Adam Weishaupt on 1 May 1776 in Bavaria, today part of Germany. The society's goals were to oppose superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life, and abuses of state power. "The order of the day," they wrote in their general statutes, "is to put an end to the machinations of the purveyors of injustice, to control them without dominating them."

The Illuminati—along with Freemasonry and other secret societies—were outlawed through edict by Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria, with the encouragement of the Catholic Church, in 1784, 1785, 1787, and 1790.

## Conspiratorial

After being outlawed, the Illuminati was generally vilified by conservative and religious critics who claimed that the group continued underground and were responsible for the French Revolution.

A self-claimed ex-Illuminati programmer named Svali said that the Illuminati appear to be descendants of the Knights Templar and the Rosicrucians. In the present day, Illuminati members are mostly comprised of government officials and the "elite class". The Illuminati manages and manipulates parts of the political and financial spectrum of the Cabal's agenda, which is to facilitate a New World Order. The Illuminati, and even Freemasonry, from which it derives, receives much of the attention due to the various symbols and structural patterns that are often observed by the general public. This may have been purposely prepared to keep "THEY" securely in the shadows. Illuminati is said to have support for its own primary agenda. Any criticism against it, will be targeted by "THEM", similar to how WikiLeaks is bieng targeted for revealing their secrets.

### Methods of Control

According to Svali, the Illuminati control an area through its:

1. **Banks and financial institutions**
	1. Insiders call the Federal Reserve system the *Babylonian Money Magic Slave System*.
2. **Local government**: Children are encouraged to study law and/or economics.
3. **Media**: Others are encouraged to go to journalism school, and members help fund local papers.

Robert Anton Wilson continued to write and create many things in the same spirit (if not the same fictional universe) as the books he wrote with Robert Shea. *The Illuminatus! Trilogy* is a seminal work for almost all modern works in the conspiracy-theory genre, as well as other media. Below are listed examples of directly related works.
Judge Caligula Bushman

The toughest judge and 'shining ornament of the Chicago judiciary' known for his King Kong scowl.

After being unknowingly dosed with AUM by Joe Malik and Simon Moon, he turns into a homo neophilus, thinks straight, abandons law, and takes up mathematics.

 File:Bushman fieldmuseum.jpg  **Trivia**

* His name is a play on several subjects:
	+ One possible source is the silent movie actor Francis X. Bushman.
	+ Another is the gorilla named Bushman, who was the most popular animal ever at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo. He was preserved via Taxidermy upon his death and is now in the Field Museum of Natural History.
	+ Caligula, the third roman emperor, whose formal name was *Gaius Iulius*. He was a titular character of a an erotic film starring Malcolm McDowell.
* The character is a lampoon of Judge Julius Hoffman, who tried the Chicago Seven in 1969. Abbie Hofmann (one of the defendants) suggested the judge try LSD at the end of the trial.
Ingolstadt, Bavaria

Ingolstadt is in the center of Bavaria, Germany.

## Historical

It is the birthplace of Adam Weishaupt, where he founded the Illuminati in the late 18th century.

## Conspiratorial

It is a pivotal location in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*. It is the location of the Walpurgisnacht Concert that is central to the events of Leviathan, the third book of the *Trilogy*.
Doris Horus

**Doris Horus** is the librarian for Miskatonic Library of Miskatonic University in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*.

Conspiratorial

According to the trilogy:

> Doris didn't like the *Necronomicon*, although she considered herself an emancipated and freethinking young woman. There was something sinister, or to be downright honest about it, perverted about that book and not in a nice, exciting way, but in a sick and frightening way. All those strange illustrations, always with five-sided borders just like the Pentagon in Washington, but with those people inside doing all those freaky sex acts with those other creatures who weren't people at all. It was frankly Doris's opinion that old Abdul Alhazred had been smoking some pretty bad grass when he dreamed up those things. Or maybe it was something stronger than grass: she remembered one sentence from the text: "Onlie those who have eaten a certain alkaloid herb, whose name it were wise not to disclose to the unilluminated, maye in the fleshe see a Shoggothe." I wonder what a "Shoggothe" is, Doris thought idly; probably one of those disgusting creatures that the people in the illustrations are doing those horny things with. Yech.

Black women

This is quotes about **black women** from *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*.

"He was observing his audience and noted that bearded young white cat, Simon, was with a black woman as usual-a fetish Pearson-Mohammed-Kent could understand by reverse psychology, since he preferred white chicks himself."

"We stepped out into a carpeted room with a lovely black woman sitting at one end under an elaborate emblem concocted of anchors, seashells, Viking figureheads, lions, ropes, octopi, lightning bolts, and, occupying the central position, a golden apple."

"'I've always had a thing about black women, just like your thing about black men,' he went on."

"Simon hadn't been interested, due to his obsession with black women, who represented the Holy Grail to him.)"

"George shook hands with a man around thirty who introduced himself as Simon Moon. He had a lovely black woman with him named Mary Lou Servix."

"I got knocked up by Hassan i Sabbah X, saying, 'You have killed the Son of God in your womb, black woman,' and I started to weep again, Simon holding my hand and repeating, "Its alive," but I felt that it was dying and I had somehow killed it."

"Being a woman is bad enough, but being a black woman is even worse."

"'It's a giant black woman . . . it's Goethe's Mother Night,' somebody was saying...."

"No the truth is every man is an island and especially every woman is an island and even more every black woman is an island."

"...even if I love Simon the war goes on as long as we're going around in separate skins White Man Black Man Bronze Man White Woman Black Woman Bronze Woman...."

",,,No they're using live ammunition I mean shit they never see me all of them White Man Black Man Bronze Man White Woman Black Woman Bronze Woman they look at me and I'm in their game I have my role I am Black Woman I am never just me...."

"...No I can't go on in their game I am going to scream with rage I am going to scream like an eagle I am going to scream in the ears of the whole world until somebody does see me until I am not Black Woman and not Black and not Woman and nothing No nothing just me...."
Ferdinand of Brunswick

**Ferdinand, Prince of Brunswick-Lüneburg** (12 January 1721, Wolfenbüttel – 3 July 1792, Vechelde), was a German-Prussian field marshal (1758–1766) known for his participation in the Seven Years' War.

Eric the Red Blowhard

File:Erikthered.jpg
Eric the Red Blowhard. From Eric the Red, the Norse mariner, explorer and colonizer of Greenland circa 986, and Blowhard, an exceptionally boastful and talkative person. The infamous and mysterious head of BUGGER (Blowhard's [or Bad] Unreformed Gangsters, Goons, and Espionage Renegades). Blowhard could be a figment of Fission Chip s imagination, although it seems that BUGGER is an actual organization. If Blowhard is a real person, Eric the Red Blowhard might be a pseudonym or codename of Hagbard Celine. The name Eric Blowhard calls to mind the name Johann Beghard, the codename of Milo A. Flanagan. Celine claims to have Viking blood, named his submarine the Lief Eri(c)kson, and made his captain s control room a reproduction of the prow of a Viking ship (I195, E). He certainly is a blowhard, and does not hesitate to label himself critically, as among other things his use of the title S.H. indicates. Likewise, Hagbard would not hesitate to name an organization BUGGER, as (among other things) his naming his computer FUCKUP indicates.
The KLF

**The KLF** (also known as the *Justified Ancients of Mu Mu*, *The JAMs*, the *Timelords* and other names) are a British electronic band started in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Beginning in 1987, Bill Drummond (alias King Boy D) and Jimmy Cauty (alias Rockman Rock) released hip hop-inspired and sample-heavy records as the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, and on one occasion (the British number one hit single "Doctorin' the Tardis|*Doctorin' the Tardis*") as the Timelords. The KLF released a series of international hits on their own KLF Communications record label and became the biggest-selling singles act in the world for 1991.5 The duo also published a book, The Manual The Manual|(How to Have a Number One the Easy Way), and worked on a road movie called The White Room.

From the outset, they adopted the philosophy espoused by esoteric novel series *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*, making anarchic situationist manifestations, including the defacement of billboard adverts, the posting of cryptic advertisements in NME magazine and the mainstream press, and unusual performances on Top of the Pops. In collaboration with Extreme Noise Terror at the February 1992 BRIT Awards, they fired machine gun blanks into the audience and dumped a dead sheep at the aftershow party. After this performance the duo departed the music business and, in May 1992, deleted their entire back catalogue.

With the KLF's profits, Drummond and Cauty established the K Foundation and sought to subvert the art world, staging an alternative art award for the worst artist of the year and burning one million pounds sterling. The KLF Communications catalogue remains deleted in the UK, but The White Room is still being pressed in the US by Arista. They have released a small number of new tracks since then, as the K Foundation, the One World Orchestra and most recently, in 1997, as 2K.

Illuminati Project Memo 1

***ILLUMINATI PROJECT: MEMO #1***

7/23

***J.M.:***

The first reference I've found is in *Violence*by Jacques Ellul (Seabury Press, New York, 1969). He says (pages 18-19) that the Illuminated Ones were founded by Joachim of Floris in the llth century and originally taught a primitive Christian doctrine of poverty and equality, but later under the leadership of Fra Dolcino in the 15th century they became violent, plundered the rich and announced the imminent reign of the Spirit. "In 1507," he concludes, "they were vanquished by the 'forces of order'-that is, an army commanded by the Bishop of Vercueil." He makes no mention of any Illuminati movement in earlier centuries or in more recent times. I'll have more later today.

***Pat***

*P.S.* I found a little more about Joachim of Floris in the back files of the *National Review,*William Buckley and his cronies think Joachim is responsible for modern liberalism, socialism and communism; they've condemned him in fine theological language. He committed the heresy, they say, of "immanentizing the Christian Eschaton." Do you want me to look that up in a technical treatise on Thomism? I think it means bringing the end of the world closer, sort of.
Nameless Anarchist Horde

The **Nameless Anarchist Horde** is a group infiltrated by Mary Lou Servix (an undercover cop) wherein she met Simon Moon.

**Trivia**

* The Nameless Anarchist Horde was a historical group based out of Chicago.
* There was a particular household of three people in the Nameless Anarchist Horde of a savage feminist, her old man, and a buddy of theirs who was a stoner. Someone gave them each kittens. The feminist names hers Clitoris, so her old man named his Penis, so the stoner named his Fred. (This may have been the basis of Hagbard's kittens, Penis and Vagina.)

Markoff Chaney

File:Pulllever.jpg
**Markoff Chaney** (also known as *The Midget*, abbreviated *The MGT*) is a character (with an undetermined form of dwarfism) in *Illuminatus!*.

His name is derived from the mathematical principle of a Markov Chain, meaning a related series in a random process. He also had no relation to the famous Chaney's of Hollywood, though the joke was often made by others.

His father was a stockholder in Blue Sky Inc. which granted him a small annuity fund every month. Frequently cut his classes at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio (which he attended at the same time as Simon Moon and Atlanta Hope).

Sexually frustrated, addicted to *Playboy* and pornographic tarot cards. Markoff Chaney decided to take revenge on the world of giant people. One of his revenge tactics was to create and distribute signs with unusual or crazy instructions. They were signed 'the MGT.', referring not to 'the management' so much as 'the midget.'

Occlumency

Occlumency is the defense of the mind. It is closing off your thoughts, feelings, memories, etc from unwanted intrusion of any kind. It revolves around control and steadiness of ones emotions, emptying your thoughts, and overall self control. The mental strength of occlumens is nothing to mock.

While it’s often seen as just magical defense, masters of occlumency are overall formidable when it comes to their mental defenses. This makes them naturals at resisting interrogation, makes them master deceivers, and impervious to all mental intrusion magic (unless stated otherwise.)

Occlumency is the opposite to Legilimency. They are yin and yang. Thus, it makes occlumency quite interesting when someone is attempting to penetrate their mind. (refer to the abilities below to see how.)

## ABILITIES AND SKILLS

Since Occlumency is a learned ability people can have varying levels of control even when they are the same age or studied for the same amount of time. Members can choose their own experience for this magical branch unless there is some sort of noted restriction. So consider realistically where your character would be and go with that. Characters that have only been studying it a few years are obviously still learning and wouldn’t be able to do the more difficult abilities.

Listed below are the established forms of occlumency:

* Natural Mental Defense - Your mind can not be penetrated by the Legilimency spell or other mental intrusion magic unless you desire.
* Deception - Even the most skilled lie detectors can not catch a hint of deception from you.
* Lie Detection - Likewise, because they are naturally so good at deception it is very difficult to deceive them (other Legilimens can though.)
* Possession Resistance - Natural resistance to any sort of possession (even the Imperius curse).
* Detection - They are always aware of someone (and will know who specifically) trying to penetrate their mind, even by the most skilled of Legilimens. They can let a Legiilmens into their mind if they want.
* Mental Deception - If they let a legilimens into their mind the legilimens will only pick up what the occlumen wants them to, nothing more. The legilimens will be unaware that these are fake thoughts.
* Emotion Suppression - Occlumency depends on emotional control. So, likewise they are able to suppress their own emotions and ‘turn them off’ when needed.

### STUDENTS

Occlumency is not taught at Hogwarts so it can be difficult for them to learn when they aren’t in the right circumstances. As such, students are NOT permitted to study Occlumency unless you have staff approval.

Tracker

## Mechanics

* If the Tracker's target is framed, they will appear to visit the mafia's target instead.
* If the Tracker's target performed an ability while also killing the mafia's target, the Tracker will see who they killed.
* If the Tracker's target is blocked, they will not appear to visit anyone.
* The Tracker will be told if their target did not visit anyone.
* If the Tracker is blocked, they will be told that they 'did not receive any results'.
* The Tracker's target will be referred to as 'your target' in their investigation results.

## Strategies

* You can confirm Villager claims by seeing if they visited anyone, but be careful, as they could be either framed or a Suspect.
* You can clear players of being the Jester, as the Jester cannot visit anyone.
* You may be able to clear other village members by tracking them. If their target didn't die, they are unlikely to be the only mafia member.
John F. Kennedy

J. N. Marsh

**J.N. Marsh** is a professor of Anthropology at Miskatonic University in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*.

## Conspiratorial

In *TIT*, Joshua N. Marsh was dishonored in the scholar community from his claims that Atlantis was real, in addition to further claims that the Gods of Atlantis were real as well.

### Spoiler

In *TIT*, he disappears after he is dishonored and his disappearance is investigated by Daniel Pricefixer who concludes that he was lured into a drug cult and committed suicide during drug psychosis. It is strongly implied that he was converted to a neophile via tomato juice dosed with Aum (administered in Chicago by Joe Malik). The actual cause of his disappearance, and his eventual fate, is left unresolved.

J. N Marsh, despite being dishonored because of his writings, is correct in thinking that Atlantis existed and that the 'Gods' were real according to *TIT*.

Joachim's ideas were influential in the development of the Franciscan and Dominican orders, and his works were studied and debated by scholars during the Middle Ages and beyond. He believed that history was divided into three ages: the Age of the Father (Old Testament), the Age of the Son (New Testament), and the Age of the Holy Spirit (a coming new era).

Joachim's views were often controversial and he faced criticism from some in the Church, but his influence continued to spread even after his death in 1202. His works include "Expositio in Apocalypsim" and "Liber figurarum".

Bavarian Illuminati

The **Bavarian Illuminati** is the first group historically recognized as the Illuminati.

## Historical

It was founded by Adam Weishaupt on May 1, 1776. This was the same year the All-Seeing Eye was added to the Great Seal of the United States. The society's goals were to oppose superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life, and abuses of state power. "The order of the day," they wrote in their general statutes, "is to put an end to the machinations of the purveyors of injustice, to control them without dominating them." The Bavarian Illuminati—along with Freemasonry and other secret societies—were outlawed through edict by Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria, with the encouragement of the Catholic Church, in 1784, 1785, 1787, and 1790. During subsequent years, the group was generally vilified by conservative and religious critics who claimed that the Illuminati continued underground and were responsible for the French Revolution.

Many influential intellectuals and progressive politicians counted themselves as members, including Ferdinand of Brunswick and the diplomat Franz Xaver von Zach, who was the Order's second-in-command. It attracted literary men such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Johann Gottfried Herder and the reigning Duke of Gotha and of Weimar.
Ken Campbell

**Kenneth Victor Campbell** (10 December 1941 – 31 August 2008) was an English actor, writer and director, known for his work in experimental theatre. He has been called "a one-man dynamo of British theatre".

Campbell achieved notoriety in the 1970s for his nine-hour adaptation of the science-fiction trilogy *Illuminatus!* and his 22-hour staging of Neil Oram's play cycle *The Warp*. The Guinness Book of Records listed the latter as the longest play in the world.

He was married to Prunella Gee (m. 1978; div. 1983) with whom he was the father of Daisy Campbell.
Narrator

The narrator of *The Illuminatus! Trilogy* might be what TVTropes calls a "Lemony Narrator."

> A Narrator who tells the story from a third-person perspective, in an eccentric, bizarre, or otherwise unconventional style. This may involve expressing opinions about the story’s proceedings, going off on asides, breaking the Fourth Wall, Hanging Lampshades, deadpan-snarking, choosing to focus on unusual details or just describing things in an odd way. In the 19th century, this style of narration was so common as to be nearly ubiquitous; in the 21st century it’s no longer the default, but still shows up in quirkier works (and homages to 19th-century literature). In some cases, this trope reminds readers that the Narrator can be a character themselves, not just a perspective to read the story from. This character is not an active participant in the story. They are able to affect how the story is told, but not the story itself.

Kerry Wendell Thornley

**Kerry Wendell Thornley** is known as the co-founder (along with childhood friend Gregory Hill) of Discordianism, in which context he is usually known as Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst or simply Lord Omar. He and Hill authored the religion's seminal text *Principia Discordia**, or, How I Found Goddess, And What I Did To Her When I Found Her.*

## Conspiratorial

*"The Purple Sage opened his mouth and moved his tongue and so spake to them and he said: 'The Earth quakes and the Heavens rattle; the beasts of nature flock together and the nations of men flock apart; volcanoes usher up heat while elsewhere water becomes ice and melts; and then on other days it just rains. Indeed do many things come to pass.'" -- Lord Omar Khayaam Ravenhurst, K.S.C., "The Book of Predications."* The Honest Book of Truth

#### ***APPENDIX NUN: Additional Information About Some of the Characters***

***LORD OMAR KHAYAM RAVENHURST**. An imaginary Chaoist philosopher invented by Mr. Kerry Thornley of Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Thornley was a friend of Lee Harvey Oswald's, was accused of complicity in the John Kennedy assassination by District Attorney Jim Garrison, and is the author of llluminati Lady, an endless epic poem which you really ought to read.*

Jim Garrison suspected Thornley was one of the famously speculated "Oswald doubles."

In 1994, he and Gregory Hill were inducted into the Order of the Pineapple.
Adolph Freiherr Knigge

Freiherr **Adolph Franz Friedrich Ludwig Knigge** (16 October 1752 – 6 May 1796) was a German writer, Freemason, and a leading member of the Order of the Illuminati.

## Historical

Knigge was born in Bredenbeck (now a part of Wennigsen, Lower Saxony) in the Electorate of Hanover as a member of the lesser nobility. When he was barely eleven, his mother died, and when his father died three years later the teenager inherited a large debt. His creditors took possession of the family property and assigned the boy a meagre pension of 500 thalers.

He studied law from 1769 to 1772 in Göttingen where he became a member of Corps Hannovera. He was allegedly initiated into Freemasonry in 1772 in Kassel, where he held a position as Court Squire (hofjunker) and Assessor of the War and Domains Exchequer. In 1777 he became Chamberlain at the Weimar court.

## Conspiratorial

In 1780 Knigge joined Adam Weishaupt's Bavarian Illuminati and his work with the Illuminati gave the group a great deal of publicity and influence of Masonic chapters. But in 1783 dissensions arose between Knigge and Weishaupt, which resulted in Knigge's final withdrawal from the group on 1 July 1784. Knigge stated that he could no longer endure Weishaupt's pedantic domineering, which frequently assumed offensive forms. He accused Weishaupt of "Jesuitism", and suspected him of being "a Jesuit in disguise" (Nachtr., I, 129). "And was I", he adds, "to labour under his banner for mankind, to lead men under the yoke of so stiff-necked a fellow?—Never!"

Robert Shea

**Robert Joseph Shea** (February 14, 1933 – March 10, 1994) was the co-author of *The Illuminatus! Trilogy* with Robert Anton Wilson and the author of six other novels.

### Early Life

Robert Joseph Shea attended Manhattan Prep, Manhattan College and Rutgers University and worked as a magazine editor in New York and Los Angeles. In the 60's he edited the Playboy Forum where he met Robert Anton Wilson, with whom he collaborated on *Illuminatus!*

### After *Illuminatus!*

After publishing *Illuminatus!*, Bob left *Playboy* to become a full time novelist.

On his own, Shea went on to write historical novels, including *Shike* (1981) set in medieval Japan, *All Things Are Lights* (1986) a story that entwines the fate of Cathars of southern France with the occult traditions of Courtly Love and the troubadours, and what probably is his most underrated work -- *The Saracen*, a book published in two parts in 1989 depicting the struggle between a blond Muslim warrior called Daoud Ibn Abdullah and his French crusader adversary Simon De Gobignon. It's a book of love, intrigue, and suspense during the time of the Crusades.

His (non-fiction) history of Plaza del Lago, *From No Man's Land to Plaza Del Lago* (1987), traces the locale's wild and woolly days in the early part of the century, when the area belonged to neither town and was lawless.

His last book (published) was the Native American tale *Shaman* (1991). tracing the fate of the survivors of the Black Hawk War in 19th century Illinois.

His son, Mike Shea, has a few copies of his father's novel *Lady Yang* (completed but unpublished), a tragic story of an idealistic empress of medieval China.

In 2020, he, along with Michael Brown (lead discoverer of planet Eris) was inducted into the Order of the Pineapple. The award was accepted by Mike Shea on his late father's behalf.

The Illuminatus! Trilogy

***The Illuminatus! Trilogy*** is a series of three novels by American writers Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson, first published in 1975. The trilogy is a satirical, postmodern, science fiction-influenced adventure story; a drug-, sex-, and magic-laden trek through a number of conspiracy theories, both historical and imaginary, related to the authors' version of the Illuminati. The narrative often switches between third- and first-person perspectives in a nonlinear narrative. It is thematically dense, covering topics like counterculture, numerology, and Discordianism.

The parts are *The Eye in the Pyramid,* *The Golden Apple,* *Leviathan,* and the *Appendices,*

H.P. Lovecraft (author)

*For the rock group, see H.P. Lovecraft (rock group)*

**H.P. Lovecraft** is a horror author. In *The Illuminatus! Trilogy,* Mavis says he died young, at age 47, because he mentioned the *Necronomicon* by name in his writings. In spite of the author having died before the time of the book, he appears in it.
Franz Xaver von Zach

Baron **Franz Xaver von Zach** (**Franz Xaver Freiherr von Zach**) (4 June 1754 – 2 September 1832) was a Hungarian astronomer born at Pest, Hungary (now Budapest in Hungary). He was a member of the Bavarian Illuminati.

## Historical

He lived in Paris in 1780–83, and in London from 1783 to 1786 as tutor in the house of the Saxon ambassador, Hans Moritz von Brühl. In Paris and London he entered the circles of astronomers like Joseph de Lalande, Pierre-Simon Laplace and William Herschel. In 1786 he was appointed by Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg director of the new observatory on Seeberg hill at Gotha, which was finished in 1791. At the close of the 18th century, he organised the "Celestial Police", a group of twenty-four astronomers, to prepare for a systematic search for the "missing planet" predicted by the Titius-Bode law between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres was discovered by accident just as the search was getting underway. Using predictions made of the position of Ceres by Carl Friedrich Gauss, on 31 December 1801/1 January 1802, Zach (and, independently one night later, Heinrich Wilhelm Matthias Olbers) recovered Ceres after it was lost during its passage behind the Sun. After the death of the duke in 1804, Zach accompanied the duke's widow on her travels in the south of Europe, and the two settled in Genoa in 1815 where he directed an observatory. He moved back to Paris in 1827 and died there in 1832.
The Justified Ancients of Mummu

*This is about the secret society. For the band, see The KLF.*

**The Justified Ancients of Mummu** (**The JAMs**) are a secret society based on a primeval Babylonian deity, Mummu.

Simon Moon is a member.

The JAMs are a sort-of precursor to the Erisian Liberation Front (ELF) and the Legion of Dynamic Discord (LDD).

Cecil Rhodes (fictionally) coined the phrase, "Kick Out the JAMs" which later became the basis of the MC5 song... totally an Illuminati plot to rub it in the JAMs furry little faces.

The authors associated Mummu with the the idea of primordial chaos in the novel. A Standard Reference Work says Mummu is a craftsman, the personification of technical skill and, as the third of the primordial gods, Mummu symbolizes the mental world, the logos (logic).
