I just ran across a card game called "Illuminati" by Steve Jackson Games which was released in 1995.

Some of the cards... well... I think showing them does it more justice than me explaining them



I double checked to make absolute sure that these cards were released in 1995, gathered some info, and they indeed were released in 1995.

Of course, there is no such thing as coincidence, only the.... Illusion... of coincidence.

I was interested in seeing what the other cards were, and I found one on Google

What I find really curious is that in 1990 the Secret Service actually raided the Steven Jackson Games building and took a bunch of stuff, I'm assuming sensitive information.

Extremely strange.

If you investigate the events on 9/11 you will find lots of "coincidences".

Another one along the some vein is the band "We are the world trade center". Check track 11

I did not get my information from that source, I got the information from Wikipedia, and the official Steve Jackson Games website.

Also, the Steve Jackson Games logo is somewhat suggestive of something.

I played tons of Steve Jackson games back in the day. I don't remember those particular Illuminati cards, but I did play the game. It was fun.

well the pentagon reference isn't the best since the plane hit a wing not the middle, and it wouldn't have been anywhere near the first time someone suggested blowing up the pentagon, the other card is interesting with the exception of calling it a nuke

Again with the god damned pyramids. What is going on?

Mario N. Bonassin   (Apr 17, 2007 at 01:03 GMT)
world domination!!! muahahahahah

ChrisG   (Apr 17, 2007 at 01:41 GMT)
The all seeing eye in the pyramid is the illuminati symbol. Check out the US Great Seal on the dollar bill (Ben Franklin has a lot to answer for).
Then of course there was Q33 in wingdings (Q33 the flight no. of the first plane to crash into the twin towers).
My favourite coincidence is the album artwork for The Coup that was created in July before the attack www.vanadia.com/nycstories/911folklore/coup_changes_album_art/

(*EDIT: Ok. A stand corrected on Q33 - this was from an email I recalled from 2001 - turns out it was a hoax - none of the flight no.s was Q33)

the first terrorist attack on the world trade center was in 1993... hmm 2 years prior to the game.. it also only affected one tower.. much like the picture in the game.. one tower... and for the nuke well yes I am more then positive that the USSR has numerous nukes aimed at the center of the pentagon to ensure that it is completely destroyed.. I think people read too much into it and make their own assumptions based on that..

much like how nostradamus foretold the future.. but it is so vague and obtuse that you can assume much based on his theories.. the human imagination is responsible for 90% of conspiracy theories.. :)

Operation Sundevil

The reason they got raided was total b.s. There were a couple of BBS's like Ripco that used to have text files on how to hack, phreak and stuff like that. They got raided. Steve Jackson games was working on a game called Hacker I think. They got raided and they took everything from them because they thought they were writing a manual for hackers. Everyone was cleared on first amendment rights but no one got their machines back or any restitution if I remember correctly.

That ways ages ago though. Hehe.

Tom Feni   (Apr 17, 2007 at 02:12 GMT)
Q33 was not the first plane to hit.. "The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners (United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11) into the World Trade Center in New York City"

like I said 90% of conspiracy theories are created in the imagination.. you would think that in this day and age of the information age we would have less of these conspiracy theory nut jobs.. but not true.. :)

They seem to multiply like rabbits, one producing two, two producing 4 and so on..
It makes for a fun bed time story but not much else..
the truth is there are bad people in the world who just hate other people.. nothing more, nothing less..
and until we come together as a world society and realize that we all share this ball of dirt, rock, water and other misc minerals we will always dwell in our insecurities and fight among ourselves.. and continue these petty conspiracies to justify them..

I for one welcome a day when muslims, jews and every other religion live side by side and just live life..

Maaan.. Illuminati... sure brings back memories of playing the game in college... those were the days. I was actually wondering if someone would ever make a clone with TGB or something. That was a fun game. :D

I would love to play an online version with friends again.

Edward Smith   (Apr 17, 2007 at 03:22 GMT)
Yes isn't it a wonderful thought that one day we'll all love each no matter what we believe, or who we are.

But lets face it, its not going to happen, greed flows through our veins. Religion is just a fancy boat to ride in to battle with. To demand what you think on others.

Our imaginary friends do battle.


Great pictures though, good luck with the pyramids!

An interesting variant of the faux Nostradamus prophecy turned up in the soc.culture.palestine newsgroup on September 12 under the heading "They followed his prediction":

In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb'
'The third big war will begin when the big city is burning'
- Nostradamus 1654

...on the 11 day of the 9 month that...two metal birds would crash into two tall statues...in the new city..and the world will end soon after"

"From the book of Nostradamus"

That why terrorist will always have the upper hand because we believe nothing until it is to late. I told some friends two years before it happen we need to up secruity on major cities because terrorist will attack them. They laugh at me and said no way. Look what happen 9/11.

I give this a 3.5 for interesting, but a 1 for usefulness with relation to Game Development.

Heh your're getting more paranoid day by day Mark. ;)

The more you look for patterns the more you will see them out of context. Its unhealthy. *grins*

Inside job, indeed

I don't really find it all that remarkable.
Within the set of Icons Of American Power,
the WTC and the Pentagon are obvious.
Also note it's a terrorist nuke, not an airplane.

In Your Face: The Globalists' Language is Hidden in Plain View

April 18, 2004
infowars.com

Fascinated by symbolism and numerology, the globalists' favorite tactic is to leave blueprints to their plans "hidden in plain view." From messages delivered to the masses through the media and films to Time Warner's all-seeing eye, we are repeatedly reminded by the illuminati themselves that they are controlling us and are omnipresent. World leaders from Clinton to Prince William have been photographed proudly flashing the sign of the devil. Architecture around the globe is laid out to represent their occult icons or structured based on occult numerology (like the pyramid Mitterand had constructed at the Louvre, which is made of 666 pieces of gold glass). The New World Order's symbolism is everywhere and there are globalist fingerprints all over the September 11th attacks as well as the Madrid train bombing.

For those interested (and every American should be), here are some vids you should check out.

Infowars is fantastic. Alex Jones has really bent these guys over and slapped them on the behind like nobody else. Very clear 9/11 was an inside job.
