Laten we maar meteen terzake komen. De grootste hold up aller tijden in dit land vindt plaats terwijl u dit leest. Alhoewel er geen wapens mee gemoeid zijn, worden 300 miljoen mensen gegijzeld. Laat er geen misverstand over bestaan: na in de afgelopen vijf jaar een half biljoen dollar gestolen te hebben om de zakken te vullen van de oorlogsprofiteurs, na de zakken gevuld te hebben van hun collega-oliebaronnen a rato van meer dan 100 miljard tijdens de voorbije twee jaar, beginnen Bush en zijn vrienden – die binnenkort het Witte Huis moeten verlaten - de Amerikaanse schatkist te plunderen. Ze proberen zoveel mogelijk zilverwerk mee te slepen op hun weg naar de uitgang.
Wat ze ook zeggen, hoeveel ijzingwekkende woorden ze ook gebruiken, ze gaan door met hun oude truuk om angst en verwarring te zaaien in een poging om zichzelf en de hoogste één procent schandalig rijk te maken en te houden. Lees bijvoorbeeld de eerste vier paragrafen van een artikel in de New York Times van maandag en u zal begrijpen waar het werkelijk om draait:
“Op het zelfde moment dat beleidsmakers werkten aan de details van het 700 miljard dollar reddingsplan voor de financiële sector, begon Wall Street al uit te kijken naar manieren om er van te profiteren.”
“Financiële bedrijven lobbyden om alle problematische investeringen te beschermen, niet alleen die investeringen die gerelateerd zijn aan hypotheken.”
“Tegelijkertijd dingen investeringsbedrijven naar het contract om alle activa te controleren die de schatkist bij de financiële instellingen weghaalt, een rol die hen honderden miljoenen dollars per jaar aan honorarium kan opleveren.”
“Niemand wil uitgesloten worden van het voorstel van de schatkist om slechte activa van de financiële instellingen over te kopen.”
Ongelooflijk. Wall Street en zijn achterban hebben deze knoeiboel gecreëerd en nu gaan ze hem opruimen als bandieten. Zelfs Rudy Giulani lobbyt voor zijn firma in de hoop aangenomen en betaald te worden als consult in het reddingsplan.
Het probleem is dat niemand echt weet waar die ineenstorting nu eigenlijk over gaat. Zelfs de minister van Financiën Henry Paulson geeft toe dat hij niet weet welk bedrag er precies nodig is (hij koos zomaar het nummer 700 miljoen!).
En toch krijsen ze dat het einde nabij is. Paniek! Recessie! De grote depressie! De millenium bug! Vogelgriep! Killer bijen! We moeten het reddingsplan nu goedkeuren! De hemel valt naar beneden!

Robert Anton Wilson Day
Mayor declares a special day to honor local author/philosopher
by Laurel Chesky
The date of July 23 has special significance for Robert Anton Wilson. It was on July 23, 1973 that Wilson received a message from an extraterrestrial from the planet Sirius. Or maybe, he says, it was a 6-foot-tall white rabbit in County Kerry, Ireland. Or maybe he was just tripping on acid. (Wilson also notes that on July 23, 1973, Monica Lewinsky was born.)
Thirty years later, a giddy Mayor Emily Reilly officially declared July 23, 2003 as “Robert Anton Wilson Day” in the city of Santa Cruz.
The mayor read her proclamation before a packed house at the Rio Theatre on Soquel Avenue. A crowd had gathered there to see the world premiere of the documentary film, Maybe Logic - The Lives and Ideas of Robert Anton Wilson. The film, produced by deepleaf productions, is a retrospective of Wilson’s career as an author, conspiracy theorist, quantum physics philosopher and counterculture icon. Wilson lives in Capitola (or Live Oak or Santa Cruz, depending on your “reality tunnel,” as Wilson would say.)
One of the more humorous passages of the mayor’s proclamation reads: “Whereas Robert Anton Wilson employs wit and humor spanning five decades to resist the imperial schemes of national politicos, through such actions as daily e-mails to Attorney General John Ashcroft detailing his personal activities, thereby sparing government expense and trouble of keeping him under surveillance…”
After the mayor’s presentation, Wilson, in classic form, quipped: “I don’t deserve this. Then again, I have post polio, and I don’t deserve that either. So on with the show.”
Wilson suffers from post-polio syndrome, a disease that can strike polio survivors decades after they’ve recovered from polio. After contracting polio as a child, Wilson, 70, recovered from the disease and remained vibrant and able-bodied throughout his adulthood. Post-polio syndrome hit him a few years ago, and he is now mostly confined to a wheelchair.
Wilson eats pot brownies to relieve the pain in his legs. He was a client of the Wo/Man’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana (WAMM), before the Drug Enforcement Agency raided the collective’s farm near Davenport last September.
At a WAMM demonstration in October, where medical marijuana was given out on the steps of Santa Cruz City Hall, Wilson lambasted the feds for ignoring the Bill of Rights.
“The 10th Amendment says all powers not relegated to the federal government are reserved to the states or to the people,” he told the crowd gathered at city hall. “Nowhere does it say that a goddamn tsar will be in charge of my medical care and interfere between me and my doctor. If anybody in Philadelphia in the 18th Century had suggested putting something like that in the Constitution, they would have been considered a raving lunatic. This Constitution was not created to establish a tsarist tyranny, it was established to create a free society.”
Wilson, who holds a PhD in psychology, has scribed some 35 books, plays and screenplays. He is perhaps best known for his books, including the cult-classic trilogy Illuminatus!, Schrodinger’s Cat and Cosmic Trigger.
His philosophies revolve around his belief, steeped in quantum theory, that there is no reality, only perception. He theorizes that because we each view the world through our unique perspective, or reality tunnels, no single truth exists.
Maybe Logic weaves together snippets from recent interviews with Wilson and some of his prominent fans, with past public-speaking appearances and TV interviews. The film travels the gamut of Wilson’s theories, from his philosophies inspired by Eastern religions to his sinister political conspiracy theories. While the film covers deep and often bizarre intellectual territory, Wilson’s humor and inclination to never take himself too seriously shine through.

Dear Friends of RAW
It has taken me some time to come to ground and ask for your help in keeping Bob's work alive, green and growing (ummm, WHO makes it green?). My name is Christina, and I am one of Bob's daughters and executor of his estate. My brother Graham, my sister Alexandra, and I have been getting used to EWOB; Earth WithOut Bob.

This website will remain the official RAW site and online center of RAW's work. Over the next few months I hope you check back here, as we hope to get a whole lot of RAW activity generated!
The end of our Dad's life was fantastical and filled with profound love and much joy. Yes, there was also sorrow, frustration, stress, and grieving, but it was far outweighed by the lovingness. It was truly an extraordinary time. This was made possible in great part because of you, his beloved friends and fans (and boy did he love you!).
I hope at some point to share with you some of the experiences we all had over the last eight months of being with him, but right now want to let you know that I will be working to keep all his writings in print, and may even be able to print some bits and pieces he never published. There's still a lot of mucky-muck to take care of, as when our mom died, he stopped paying taxes and left a fair debt. Good ole' Bob! True to himself til the day he died...

When planets are named, there seems to be a mysterious and synchronistic (a la Carl Jung) correlation that mirrors its symbolism in the world and our lives. For example, when Uranus was discovered, there was also the discovery of electricity and the French and American Revolutions, both of which deeply connect into the Uranian archetype and forever changed our lives. With Pluto’s discovery, the world fairly soon was in World Wars, atomic bombs, Hitler and all of those wonderfully dark Hades Plutonian energies. With Chiron, the archetype of “the wounded healer” we have a strong appearance of mind/body healing, homeopathy and other divinatory and multidimensional perceptual skills, which are represented within the Chiron archetype.
Time and a bit of hindsight will make things clear, but for now one can’t help noticing that the Goddess of Strife and chaos certainly seems to reflect the state of the world today. We live in a very bloody and chaotic world. Just as Eris was said to take delight in stirring up discord, many of our world leaders seem to be her embodiment.
As Philip Sedgwick recently pointed out, one of the etymological references for Eris is “Things You Know Not Of”. Eris is a trans-plutonian entity!! Very hidden, very deep. Perhaps part of our current chaos is the deep and hidden brewings that need to come into our consciousness now so that we can more creatively and positively work with conflict.
In the Aug/Sept issue of Mountain Astrologer 2006, Maurice Fernandez wrote in his article Crazy Wisdom that "The bottom line for the latter half of 2006 is that anarchy may be necessary; Neptune is such an overwhelming and humbling force that it often paralyzes egocentric control. Since Neptune represents mass effect, collective consciousness, and the forces of nature, it does not leave much scope for power trippers or control freaks...These transits suggest a fantastic opportunity to clear out many obsolete concepts and restrictive approaches...Creation will occur through chaos....”
This is an interesting correlation to Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson’s The Illuminatus! Trilogy where the goddess Eris plays a minor role within the anarchist faction and “good guys”…if I’m remembering correctly. I am going back to read it, but here is a TEXT POPUP for Illuminatus!:
And, behold, thusly was the Law formulated:
Imposition of Order = Escalation of Chaos!
-The Gospel According to Fred
After this (according to Timothy Leary “seminal work”) there came the subsequent Discordia philosophical spin-offs, who worship Eris as their embodiment of anarchy and chaos. A positive manifestation of the Eris Principia Discordia concept might be The Eris Society.This cloth patch has some connection with NASA, is rare, 3.5 inches in diameter, and clearly intended to be placed on the arm of a uniform. That's all we know….
