Cosmic Trigger I Final Secret of the Illuminati

Bob Wilson wrote a bit about this in the late 70s in a book he put out called Cosmic Trigger. It's actually a series of books.

The recruits began to raise their eyebrows, badgering Knig with questions about exactly who it was that they were serving.

And when Knig failed to produce these names, many began to grow wary.

Knig approached Weishaupt on a number of occasions, and he grew even more discouraged when Weishaupt cadoged his questions.

To Knig's horror, Weishaupt admitted that the Supreme Superiors, the ancient texts behind the topmost level of the Illuminati pyramid, were entirely made up.

Most damning of the indictments were the set of instructions drawn up by Weishaupten and addressed to the ostensibly active Illuminati members in Silesia.

And then later on, I read a book by Robert Anton Wilson. I don't know if you knew this guy from the 70s. He used to be editor for Penthouse. He wrote the Illuminatus Trilogy. It was a big counterculture book back then. In his nonfiction book, Cosmic Trigger, he wrote about his daughter, Luna, who'd been murdered at the age of 14 in San Francisco. And he had a, you know, terrible. He had a brain cryopreserved. I went, oh, so this is a real thing. So that's when you learned out that the thing you had seen in like a fictional aspect as a child was now real. That was the first time I saw it as real.
