Most cards are here, some real bangers in there. Some really dated cards too, like Imelda Marcos. Some are still current today. Some great meme material if anyone wants to go mining. https://archive.org/details/illuminati_card_game/

Ah, that was the famous Secret Service raid of the Illuminati BBS. Pre-internet (well, before public access anyway) It was something like he had some Anarchist cookbook material on there and the SS wildly overstepped their authority and raided him and shut down the BBS. I actually had an acoremoved on there because I was local in Austin but never used his BBS because it was lame. Striesand Effect, he got massive publicity from it and was a hero of the PGP anon.penet.fi and FTP era of the internet.

Was the remote but traceable connection to Lee Harvey Oswald known/talked about back then?

It just all seems like a big mindfuck.

Yes, I remember that it was known that Oswald had been to Russia. That's why he killed JFK, see? They reprogrammed him as a Manchurian candidate to come back and kill the president. Totally had nothing to do with the fact that JFK got the US Treasury to print its own money instead of Federal Reserve Notes. I still have one, it has a red seal instead of the usual green. It says UNITED STATES NOTE instead. LBJ quickly discontinued the program and these bills are little more than collector's curios now.
