Part 2 (2/2)
Sometimes you find things in the d.a.m.ndest places. The following is from a girl's magazine (”The Conspiracy” by Sandra Gla.s.s, Teenset Teenset, March 1969, pages 34-40).
Simon proceeded to tell me about the Bavarian Illuminati. The nightmarish story begins in 1090 a.d. in the Middle East when Ha.s.san i Sabbah founded the Ismaelian Sect, or Has.h.i.+s.h.i.+m Has.h.i.+s.h.i.+m, so called because of their use of has.h.i.+sh, a deadly drug derived from the hemp plant which is better known as the killer weed marijuana.... The cult terrorized the Moslem world until Genghis Khan's Mongols brought law and order to the area. Cornered in their mountain hideaway, the Has.h.i.+s.h.i.+m dope fiends proved no match for the clean-living Mongol warriors, their fortress was destroyed, and their dancing girls s.h.i.+pped to Mongolia for rehabilitation. The heads of the cult fled westward....”The Illuminati surfaced next in Bavaria in 1776,” Simon told me.... ”Adam Weishaupt, a student of the occult, studied the teachings of Ha.s.san i Sabbah and grew hemp in his backyard. On February 2, 1776, Weishaupt achieved illumination. Weishaupt officially founded the Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria on May 1st, 1776. Their slogan was 'Ewige Blumenkraft.' 'Ewige Blumenkraft.' ... They attracted many ill.u.s.trious members such as Goethe and Beethoven. Beethoven tacked up an ... They attracted many ill.u.s.trious members such as Goethe and Beethoven. Beethoven tacked up an Ewige Blumenkraft Ewige Blumenkraft poster on the top of the piano on which he composed all nine of his symphonies.” poster on the top of the piano on which he composed all nine of his symphonies.”
The last paragraph of the article is, however, the most interesting of all: Recently I saw a doc.u.mentary film on the Democratic Convention of 1968, and I was struck by the scene in which Senator Abraham Ribicoff made a critical remark provoking the anger of the Mayor of Chicago. In the ensuing tumult it was impossible to hear the Mayor's shouted retort, and there has been much speculation about what he actually said. To me it seemed his lips were forming the words that by this time become frighteningly familiar: ”Ewige Blumenkraft!” ”Ewige Blumenkraft!”
The further I dig, the wilder the whole picture looks. When are we going to tell George about it?

The John Birch Society has looked into the subject and they have a theory of their own. The first source I've found on this is a pamphlet ”CFR: Conspiracy to Rule the World” by Gary Allen, a.s.sociate editor of the Birchers' magazine, American Opinion American Opinion.
Allen's thesis is that Cecil Rhodes created a secret society to establish English domination of the world in 1888. This society acts through Oxford University, the Rhodes Scholars.h.i.+ps and-hold your breath-the Council on Foreign Relations, a nonprofit foundation for the study of International Affairs headquartered right here on Sixty-eighth Street in New York. Seven out of nine of our last Secretaries of State were recruited from the CFR, Allen points out, and dozens of other leading politicians as well-including Richard Nixon. It is also implied, but not directly stated, that William Buckley, Jr. (an old enemy of the Birchers) is another tool of the CFR; and the Morgan and Rothschild banking interests are supposed to be financing the whole thing.
How does this tie in with the Illuminati? Mr. Allen merely drops hints, linking Rhodes to John Ruskin, and Ruskin to earlier internationalists, and finally stating that ”the originator on the profane level of this type of secret society” was Adam Weishaupt, whom he calls ”the monster who founded the Order of the Illuminati on May 1, 1776.”

This is from a small left-wing newspaper in Chicago (The Roger SPARK (The Roger SPARK Chicago, July 1969, Vol. 2, No. 9: ”Daley Linked With Illuminati,” no author's name given): Chicago, July 1969, Vol. 2, No. 9: ”Daley Linked With Illuminati,” no author's name given): No historian knows what happened to Adam Weishaupt after he was exiled from Bavaria in 1785, and entries in ”Was.h.i.+ngton's” diary after that date frequently refer to the hemp crop at Mount Vernon.The possibility that Adam Weishaupt killed George Was.h.i.+ngton and took his place, serving as our first President for two terms, is now confirmed.... The two main colors of the American flag are, excluding a small patch of blue in one corner, red and white: these are also the official colors of the Has.h.i.+s.h.i.+m. The flag and the Illuminati pyramid both have thirteen horizontal divisions: thirteen is, of course, the traditional code for marijuana ... and is still used in that sense by h.e.l.l's Angels among others.Now, ”Was.h.i.+ngton” formed the Federalist party. The other major party in those days, The Democratic Republicans, was formed by Thomas Jefferson [and] there are grounds for accepting the testimony of the Reverend Jedediah Morse of Charleston, who accused Jefferson of being an Illuminati agent. Thus, even at the dawn of our government, both parties were Illuminati fronts....
This story later repeats the Teenset Teenset report that Mayor Daley used the phrase report that Mayor Daley used the phrase ”Ewige Blumenkraft” ”Ewige Blumenkraft” during his incoherent diatribe against Abe Ribicoff. during his incoherent diatribe against Abe Ribicoff.

More on the Was.h.i.+ngton-Weishaupt theory: In spite of the fact that his face appears on billions of stamps and dollar bills, and his portrait hangs in every public building in the country, no one is quite sure what Was.h.i.+ngton looks like. A ”Project 20” script, ”Meet George Was.h.i.+ngton” will be seen tonight at 7:30 on Channel (fill in by local stations). The program offers contemporary portraits of the first President, some of which do not even seem to be the same man.
This is a press release sent out by NBC on April 24, 1969. Some of the portraits can be found in Encyclopedia Britannica Encyclopedia Britannica and the resemblance to portraits of Weishaupt is undeniable. and the resemblance to portraits of Weishaupt is undeniable.
Incidentally, Barbara called my attention to this: the letter in Playboy Playboy asking about the Illuminati was signed ”R.S., Kansas City, Missouri.” According to the Kansas City newspapers, a Robert Stanton of that city was found dead on March 17, 1969 (about a week after the April asking about the Illuminati was signed ”R.S., Kansas City, Missouri.” According to the Kansas City newspapers, a Robert Stanton of that city was found dead on March 17, 1969 (about a week after the April Playboy Playboy appeared on the newsstands) with his throat torn as if by the talons of some enormous beast.

No animal was reported missing from any of the local zoos.
Pat Saul looked up at the pictures of Was.h.i.+ngton on the wall. For the first time, he noticed the strange half-smile on the most famous of them all, the one by Gilbert Stuart that appears on one-dollar bills. ”As if by the talons of some enormous beast,” he quoted to himself, thinking again of Malik's disappearing dogs ”As if by the talons of some enormous beast,” he quoted to himself, thinking again of Malik's disappearing dogs.
”What the h.e.l.l are you grinning about?” he asked sourly.
Congressman Koch, he remembered suddenly, in a speech years and years ago when marijuana was illegal everywhere, said something about Was.h.i.+ngton's hemp crop. What was it? Yes: it was about the entries in the General's diary-they showed that he separated the female hemp plants from the males before fertilization. That was botanically unnecessary if he was growing the crop for rope, but it was standard practise in cultivating hemp for marijuana, Koch pointed out.
And ”illumination” was one of the words hippies were always using to describe the experience one obtains from the highest grade of gra.s.s. Even the more common term, ”turning on,” had the same meaning as ”illumination,” when you stopped to think about. Wasn't that what the crown of light around Jesus' head in Catholic art was supposed to mean? And Goethe-if he was really part of this-might have been referring to the experience in his last words, as he lay dying: ”More light!”
I should have become a rabbi, like my father wanted, Saul thought bemusedly. Police work is getting to be too much for me.
In a few minutes I'll be suspecting Thomas Edison.

Slowly, Mary Lou Servix swam back to consciousness, like a s.h.i.+pwreck victim reaching a raft.
”Good Lord,” she breathed softly.
Simon kissed her neck. ”Now you know,” he whispered.
”Good Lord,” Lord,” she repeated. ”How many times did I come?” she repeated. ”How many times did I come?”
Simon smiled. ”I'm not an a.n.a.l-compulsive type-I wasn't counting. Ten or twelve, something like that, I guess.”
”Good Lord Lord. And the hallucinations. Was that what you were doing to my nervous system, or was it the gra.s.s?”
”Just tell me about what you saw.”
”Well, you got a halo around you, sort of. A big blue halo. And then I saw that it was around me, too, and that it had all sorts of little blue dots dancing in sort of whorls inside it. And then there wasn't even that anymore. Just light. Pure white light.”
”Suppose I told you I have a friend who's a dolphin and he exists in that kind of limitless light all the time.”
”Oh, don't start jiving me. You've been so nice, until now.”
”I'm not jiving you. His name is Howard. I might arrange for you to meet him.”
”A fish?”
”No, baby. A dolphin is a mammal. Just like you and me.”
”You are either the world's greatest brain or the world's craziest motherf.u.c.ker, Mr. Simon Moon. I mean it. But that light ... My G.o.d, I will never forget that light.”
”And what happened to your body?” Simon asked casually.
”You know, I didn't know where it was. Even in the middle of my o.r.g.a.s.ms I didn't know where my body was. Everything was just ... the light....”
ROCK ROCK ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK TONIGHT.
And leaving Dallas that much-discussed November 22 afternoon in 1963, the man using the name ”Frank Sullivan” brushes past McCord and Barker at the airport, but no foreshadowing of Watergate darkens his mind. (Back at the Gra.s.sy Knoll, Howard Hunt's picture is being snapped and will later turn up in the files of New Orleans D.A. Jim ”The Jolly Green Giant” Garrison: not that Garrison ever came within light years of the real truth....) ”Here, kitty-kitty-kitty” Hagbard calls.
But now we are going back, again, to April 2 and Las Vegas; Sherri Brandi (nee Sharon O'Farrell) arriving home finds Carmel in her living room at four in the morning. It doesn't surprise her; he often made these unexpected visits. He seems to enjoy invading other people's territory like some kinda creepy virus He seems to enjoy invading other people's territory like some kinda creepy virus. ”Darling,” I cried, rus.h.i.+ng to kiss him as he expected. I wish the creep would drop dead I wish the creep would drop dead, I thought as our mouths met.
”An all-night john?” he asked casually.
”Yeah. One of those scientists who works at that place out in the desert we're all supposed to pretend we don't know about. A freak.”
