Conspiracy theory collectable card game released more than 25 years ago appears to have eerily foreshadowed current events including the coronavirus pandemic, civil unrest in Washington DC and the rise of political correctness.
Sealed decks of Illuminati: New World Order (INWO) cards currently fetch up to $1300 on sites like Amazon and eBay.
Some sought-after individual cards – such as “Terrorist Nuke”, which depicts a scene uncannily similar to the 9/11 attacks – go for more than $50 apiece.
A long-time favourite of collectors, INWO, released in 1994 by Steve Jackson Games, is a Magic: The Gathering-style spin-off of the company’s Illuminati board game, which itself was based on the 1975 Illuminatis! Trilogy novels by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.
Internet users and conspiracy theorists have drawn attention to the cards over the years for the apparent prescience of the irreverent, apocalyptic artwork – notably after September 11, 2001, due to an image resembling the explosion as the first plane hit the World Trade Center, and another depicting flames coming out of the Pentagon.
Other cards – there are 330 in total – have been highlighted on social media more recently for their apparent relevance to current events.
They include Donald Trump’s presidency – a blond-haired “Charismatic Leader” depicted speaking to a large crowd – the COVID-19 pandemic, violent riots and protests in the US, and images of a militarised White House surrounded by wire fencing.
One card, “Epidemic”, depicts a pile of body-bags, a face mask, gloves, disinfectant and the word “quarantine”.
“Disaster! This is an Attack to Destroy any Place,” the text reads. “If the attack succeeds, the target is Devastated. This attack cannot actually destroy the target.”
Another card, “Center for Disease Control”, reads, “As its action, the CDC can supply Relief to one Devastated location each turn. If the CDC makes a direct attack to destroy a Place, it can use biological warfare to get a +15 (!!) to its attack.”
A card dubbed “Political Correctness” depicts two men hanging by nooses with signs reading “used insensitive pronoun” and “ate flesh of dead animals”. “Good thoughts are now required,” the card says. “Increase the Power of all Liberal groups by 3. All Conservative groups with a Power of 0 or 1 become Criminal as well.”
Several cards relate to unrest in the streets, including “Upheaval!”, which depicts a protester punching riot police, and “Law and Order”, which features a cop swinging a baton at a cowering person.
Other cards include “Market Manipulation”, “Sweeping Reforms”, “Rewriting History”, “Gun Control”, “March on Washington”, “Combined Disasters”, “Media Blitz”, “Urban Gangs” and “World War Three”.
One supernatural-themed card appropriately features a “Plague of Demons” swarming around the US Congress building, while the “Watermelons” card reads, “One-time Communists, looking for a new cause, drift into Green movements. All Green groups are considered Communist and vice versa.”
If you think the whole : C : debuckle was not planned for long ago, right down to the quanrantee b.s. and the masks scenario, and the intended scenario of No Mask No Parlay to any government departments, the people must remember that we the people are heads of those governments and those that work in government are supposed to be public servants and as such they are supposed to do the people's bidding, but somehow we have got people in government that don't have a clue they work for the people for the people's benefit, but these jack azzes rebel and conspire to engage in behavior that is against all natural expectation that they work for the people and not the cabal aka New Work Order - NWO - OWN you Own you assets that's the bottom line - people must wake up. They are trying to push a scenario No Jab No Entry. This is an evil insidious agenda that is pushing what is at best an experimental vaccine onto other's. Why don't we the little people all unite and tell the cabalists and those that suck up their xxxx to F. off we do not need their b.s. and we don't buy it either.
Take care everyone out there, and remember : United We Stand - Divided We Fall : do not allow the scum paras(ites) the IT people - not information technology - to tell u what to do - say NO to VaX it's experimental it's not proven product but one thing about it that is proven is that it does change the DNA of every single person that takes it, and every single Jab has a kill switch on board - what date is configured ??? who knows??? does anyone know what date the Jab they may receive by their own volition - you are made to sign a document that you relinquish all rights when you are vaxxed, i.e. if u get sick or drop dead the doctors and allied stuff that bought that Jab to you cannot be sued. Well why the disclaimer then if the vax is good for u???? why are the scums making people sign disclaimers exhonerating the VAX pushers of any le
