‘Illuminati: The Game of Conspiracy’ is a card game produced by Steve Jackson Games that was originally released in the early 80′s. It was based on the successful book trilogy ‘The Illuminatus!’ and was supposedly designed to be a satirical, tongue in cheek take on the topic of global conspiracism, featuring opposing secret societies competing for world domination using various malevolent means. You may well have heard of this somewhat sinister card game already, as there are plenty of online references to it on other alternative and conspiracy based websites, mostly due to it’s apparent prophetic content, which rather accurately details aspects of the illuminati agenda that we are now seeing playing out in front of us on a daily basis………..The second card in the game is perhaps the most disturbing. Entitled ‘Terrorist Nuke’, it depicts two skyscrapers that look very much like the World Trade Center Twin Towers, exploding in exactly the same fashion as the first tower did when it was struck back in 2001. The description on the card says to play it any time you want to give 10+ ‘power’ or ‘resistance’ points to any violent group you control and of course since 9/11, the subsequent invasion of the Middle East has allowed the West to increase it’s power and resistance, in what has now been a 10+ year occupation…………….

@ Bud: This is the opinion section, right? We all have opinions, and the online site affords us the ability to agree/disagree with your opinions – instantly. My opinion on your opinion is that you are toeing the company(Republican) line with this editorial. It reads like someone who puts their Party first over the USA. You state all these so-called bad things about different people, yet provide no quotes or paraphrases. You just give straw man examples, and never go into detail or explain them. You say that Sean Hannity aired actual speeches and use the words “Racism” and “Klu Klux Klan” to define them. I feel that if you put out a partisan piece like this, you either want a lot of critical replies, or you live in the bubble.

I like being opinionated and citing facts in support thereof. I like being visidious and getting under your skin. I like driving you crazy and I have a razor sharp talent for such. I specialize in insults and finding where your weaknesses are. I’m very adept with puns and turning your name into something derisive that will embarrass and humiliate you. Put me before a local governmental body for 3 minutes and they will be calling their cop thugs and gendarmes again—simply because they don’t like the H-bomb content of my speech. And I’m just getting started. Bud Stevenson is innocent. His criticism of government failure and extravagance is pale compared to mine.

I have to agree with Bud! Attacks are frequent on any posters by the usual suspects. They are quick to label the poster with their opinion. It does get old and they care less, most of the time, for constructive discussion. Of course the subjects we all know not to comment on here is Religion, Politics, and Fox News! They are like Pablo’s dogs when these subjects come up. They salivate the same contempt towards the poster’s opinion. They are quick to repost their opinions over and over again. Same opinions different format to address the new poster! Remember Bud that the posters here have to pay to post and we have to pay to read them. Both ways the DR makes money. It will not stop. Lol! Lol!

any examples of Republicans/Conservatives who you have a high distain for? Seeing that Hagel’s name only recently popped up again and I’ve rarely heard a bad word about him when he was senator I have to wonder if it’s political posturing from the Right…..hate everything Obama does/approves of/supports/etc…
