power in the

Old World. But Operation Mindfuck

although they

had got away

from the old

power, they

hadn't got

away from

their

suspicious

minds, and

alone, out in

the vast

wilderness of
:
 the new

America, that

led them to

imagining dark,

hidden

conspiracies in

their own

government,

far away in

Washington. 

One of the first

of these, in the

early 19th

century, said

that a secret

group from

Europe, called

the Bavarian

Illuminati,

were running a
:
 giant

conspiracy in

America to

destroy the

new SEARCH

democracy. In

reality, the

Illuminati had

been a utopian

movement who

wanted to

replace religion

with reason.

But instead,

they now

became the

first of a series

of frightening

suspicions that

fed off the

isolation of the
:
 settlers in the

New World. 

One night (in

1958,

somewhere in

the vicinity of

Whittier,

California),

Kerry
Thornley went
with his friend

Greg Hill to a
bowling alley.

They started to

discuss reality.

Thornley

insisted that

there was a

fixed order to

the Universe,
:
 but Greg said

that the

Universe was

chaos and it

was human

thought that

projected an

order onto the

chaos.

Thornley was

inspired by

this, and

together he

and Greg Hill

decided to set

up a movement

dedicated to

the idea of

chaos. They

called it
:
 Discordianism.
Underlying it

was the belief

that individuals

had the power

inside

themselves to

bring order and

meaning to the

chaos, not the

old systems of

power that

created the

fear and

suspicion.

Discordianism

was beginning

to grow,

spreading by

word of mouth.

Like much of
:
 the new

counterculture
, it was against

all politics. It

distrusted all

the old systems

of power (left

and right),

because they

were just

trying to force

you into their

version of

reality.

Some members

of

Discordianism

were working

at Playboy
magazine, and
:
 Thornley

decided that he

was going to

use Playboy
magazine to

start an

experiment

that would

make people

see how

absurd all

conspiracy

theories really

were. He called

it Operation

Mindfuck. In

1969, he and

Greg Hill began

Operation

Mindfuck by

placing a false
:
 letter in the

Playboy letters
page. They put

it between

another letter

asking if gun

fanatics had

small penises

and one from a

man asking

about the

physical

danger to his

testicles from

heavy petting. 

Thornley's fake

letter asked

whether all the

political

assassinations
:
 in America

were really

being

masterminded

by a single

secret society.

And the

society it

named was the

Illuminati. It

said that the

Illuminati were

behind all the

chaos and the

fear that was

now gripping

America. 

He and the

other

Discordians
:
 then

proceeded to

spread this

idea all across

America

through the

counterculture

, in magazines

and books and

even in plays.

Thornley's aim

was to try and

break the spell

of conspiracy

theories by

making people

see the

absurdity of

believing them.

And he had

chosen the
:
 Illuminati for

the experiment

because no-

one could

possibly

believe that an

18th-century

organisation

from Bavaria

was really, in

the second half

of the 20th

century, the

secret rulers of

the modern

world. It was

clearly

ridiculous.

In the political

and economic
:
 chaos of the

early 1970s,

conspiracy

theories were

going to spread

like wildfire

through the

counterculture

. As they did,

the fake

conspiracies

about the

Illuminati and

the secret

rulers of the

world that

Kerry Thornley

thought that

no-one could

ever believe,

began to get
:
 mixed up with

the true

conspiracies

like MKUltra.

And more and

more people

began to follow

Jim Garrison's
theory of time

and

propinquity,

looking for

patterns of a

hidden power

in America, not

for logic or

meaning any

longer.

And when the

:
 Internet was

created, almost

immediately,

those patterns

of suspicion

would move

into the data

and multiply

endlessly

across the

system. And

that dark

paranoia, that

200 years

before had

spread across

the prairies

and the

mountains

among isolated

settlers, now
:
 spread across

the virtual

world, among

isolated

individuals

sitting alone in

front of their

screens.

And suspicion

and distrust

crept back into

what was going

to be the new

system of

power.
