Illuminatus Ignoramus started to come together while watching some paranoi-tube... youknow? youtube, the selfish, fractured mirror tube; the star spangled suped up militant backed cia quizling fracker of an extra evolved idiot box; a kind of crack cocaine bible to pour over and study as a person becomes even more removed from thier core self.
The videos that caught my eyes were on the Steve Jackson card game Illuminati, and the vids, though interesting, nvr once mentioned the idea that Steve Jackson was a genius with archetypal psychology, and possibly had simply created a type of tarot deck, a scrying ball of sorts, using modern symbolism. I had also recently I done a Tonepoem were Burroughs talked about montage technique and the history of cutups. He clearly says: "When you cut into the present the future leaks out," and also mentions "predictive" elements coming into the pieces whithout intent or conscious effort.
So not being overly fond of sophists, control culture, revisionism, and the fluoridated tragedy that is the history of 21st century schizoid man I created a little Tarot layout using a few cards that popped up for me when I started to look for the Secular (or fool card) in the illuminati deck.

The sound of our world falling to lies, terror, control and chaos came to me as a match for the graphic, and an over distorted, post techno-industrial, chaotic drive to a land of droning sirens and flies then came about. While doing the music an old tv show came across my radar as having perfect sound samples. The show was "Planet of The Apes S01Ep03 - The Trap." The message was, a culture of slaves and slavers, with no third type left, that doesn't connect to it's real history because of guilt and shame will kill itself in a vacuum of projection.
The image, the music, and the words all came to stack up nicely, and then the title came to me (Fool that I am) - Illuminatus Ignoramus. So, this piece goes out to all the retards from my youth that told me I was wasting my time on music, poetry, and "those" books, 'cause I was to learning disabled, not as bright as the average child, and so on.... Go to hell!
For my fans, pass it around, but care, I have seen Illuminated Ignoramuses from all economic brackets asassinate a view they don't want to hear; like turning off a channel, with mom smiling on, a child in Crusade. (One of the cards is "Crusader"). As a matter of public spectacle, our universities are now filled with a variety of such saps, who's drive and capacity for political discussion has been replaced by a capacity to assasinate an opposing point of view, like a yuppie fascist in pursuit of happy, or a muslim militant saving muhammad and Christ from retarded Sophists. Poor SObs wouldn't stand a day in the shadow of criticism that has so ill defined me.
Last point. Many had noted in the past: There are those with an instinct to connect with time, and those that don't. I like the connecters, not the others. The disconnect is everywhere. Find yourself and care, don't make a whore out of your holy or history, don't practice the new maths. To sum up the 21st century mistakes in history and math, and also touch on Tesla, Einstein, Pythagoras, Issac Newton, and so on: "Is light a Wave or a Particle?" A: "Light is neither wave nor particle - Light is Music." Music is not chord or scale. Music is time, light and all the rest. Good musicians have the best ears, and artists the best eyes. Don't force the riff, but do discipline yourself with scale and chord, then go outside, smoke a fatty, or wtvr is your tea, and riff for the birds in the trees. They are honest, less cultural baggage :).
