I came across this while browsing the net today. Apparently in 1982 a card game was released called, simply enough, "Illuminati".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati_%28game%29 Illuminati is a standalone card game made by Steve Jackson Games (SJG), inspired by The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. The game has ominous secret societies competing with each other to control the world through sinister means, including legal, illegal, and even mystical.. it went on the market in July 1982 in the Pocket Box format (a plastic box the size of a mass-market paperback) which was at the time the usual for SJG. Over the next few years, three expansions for the Pocket Box Illuminati game were published—the first two were substantially incorporated into the deluxe edition, while the third was an earlier version of what would become Illuminati: Brainwash. Now look at some of the cards in this game: ![]() ![]() ![]() And now for the kicker: ![]() Notice Big Ben in the background and the people in the foreground are wearing the colors of the Olympics! Also, two big pieces of debris in the background seem to form the number 11. So is the 11th the day the disaster hits? Or is this just coincidence? |

I've known about the card game and its "coincidences" going way back , but did not realize it was based on "The Illuminatus! Trilogy". Years ago, a copy of that book mysterious appeared on my desk at work, but I threw it away because I only have time to read non-fiction. Reading the wiki on it, sounds like one weird ass book.

Wemen's Football Gold Medal [ US vs. Japan ] will be held at 19:45 on Aug 9
* The first nuclear bomb at war was used at 08:15AM Aug 6 1945 (1945/8/6 08:15AM) on Hiroshima. * There are 86 songs in the Opening. * 08:15AM is ver important, the first time atomic bomb was used at war. * The Big Ben always chimes on the hour. The last time it didn't chime on the hour was more than FIFTY years ago. * On July 27, 12 hours before the opening, the Big Ben chimed three minutes from 08:12AM-08:15AM. * The Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber that dropped the very first nuclear bomb on Hiroshima is called 'Enola Gay' [link to en.wikipedia.org] * The song 'Enola Gay' was played in the Olympic Opening Ceremony. (WHAT A FUCKING COINCIDENCE!) * US vs. Japan game on UK's land symbolizes the Pacific War * Football/soccer theme seen in the creepy UEFA EURO 2012 TV ads in China. * Football theme in The Dark Knight Rises and The Sum of All Fears * 19:45 symbolize 1945, the year WWII ended by two atomic bombs. 19:45 London Time = 14:45 New York = 11:45 US West Coast |

No disrepect meant, but how are you just now finding this? Whole lot of references to this game over the years on this site alone. swine+flew2.jpg illuminati+card+game+swine+flu.jpg |

It's definitely weird and interesting. Probably contributed to my worldview that I still have today (conspiracy theorist)...LOL! |
