OOOH! This is my favorite. The actual full decks are cost prohibitive but [I found one](https://www.ebay.com/itm/254972186018?_skw=illuminati&amp;itmmeta=01M37C76M5FET6TVRD4DJHMDEB&amp;hash=item3b5d86cda2:g:uxUAAOSwv11grGA1&amp;itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8LB2JXbe%2Bh2pdWBqbR2c2DuYbSa%2BrQsDrois9cQ8MFgrmCWySjNm7bNivscakPaVt3e4idw7%2BdP1UxLhPARVE145pCWH8JpHHXsHzZ9SLtRar4w%2BdmGtK1%2FMlgzMAZpqn8OfiOxgNaTF5xwSGVspbWXIhFXWkN70RVakCwBWlZxPMNEdEw0nIri17fgjyeMU4jWtgTD2XMwU8%2BF8SdvBf4Ko6fD4oAwPlPEbFLNinFksNf6Lu7zZC0Y21KDgK2Gb934yHPya3tbBNRh8qSx7Zf0QOHgQKjbaCNfRT3gvN%2BtBlHOry9PYC6301jS9bFFOfA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8LqnOyZaA) that's actually somewhat affordable. The conspiracies about this deck are fun and the "coincidences" abound. It's always a good time to think about how Steve could predict things (supposedly) with such accuracy. What I think is interesting, though, is that Steve Jackson, the maker of the card game was friends with another guy who wrote *GURPS Cyberpunk* and Steve only published it. However, apparently, the Secret Service thought that Steve was dangerous so they raided his place. Guilty by association? Clearly, to me, the story is a lot deeper and more nefarious. Here's what AI says about the Secret Service raid (sus, imo):  
  
The Infamous 1990 Secret Service Raid Conspiracy theorists often claim the government raided Jackson to stop him from publishing the cards because they "predicted the future" (such as the "Terrorist Nuke" card reminiscent of 9/11). The reality is much different: The Target: The Secret Service did not raid Jackson because of the Illuminati game. They raided his office in 1990 because the company was working on a cyberpunk roleplaying book called GURPS Cyberpunk. The Misunderstanding: The author of that book was a computer enthusiast, and overzealous agents mistook the fictional sci-fi gaming rulebook for a real-life "cyberterrorist hacking manual". The Legal Win: Steve Jackson fought back with the help of the newly formed Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). A judge ruled against the Secret Service, forcing them to pay damages to SJG for a sloppy investigation and illegal search. The raid actually delayed his projects, but it did not shut him down.  
  
Is Steve Jackson a hero?

One of the stranger parts of the Osama bin Laden raid has almost nothing to do with al-Qaeda.

When U.S. forces raided the Abbottabad compound in 2011, they seized a huge collection of computers, drives, documents and other material. The CIA eventually released nearly **470,000 files**, while ODNI published a curated index known as **Bin Laden's Bookshelf**.

https://www.cia.gov/stories/story/cia-releases-nearly-470000-additional-files-recovered-in-may-2011-raid-on-usama-bin-ladins-compound/

And some of the material is bizarre.

**The Illuminati card game and 9/11**

Yes, the collection actually contains material about Steve Jackson Games' **Illuminati: New World Order** card game.

ODNI specifically lists **"Website Claims Steve Jackson Games Foretold 9/11."** The recovered file was a saved webpage discussing claims that cards from the game predicted the September 11 attacks.

https://archive.dni.gov/index.php/features/1532-bin-laden-bookshelf-features?start=5

The CIA archive also contains a document titled **"Smoking Gun Proof That Illuminati Plan to Attack on 9/11 and Beyond Was Well Known as Far Back as 1995."** It discusses the Illuminati cards in connection with 9/11 conspiracy claims.

[CIA copy of the Illuminati card document](https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/FD/FD7FD01D5C5AA4C323DF0043991F9935_Smoking.Gun.Proof.-.Illuminati.Planned.to.Bring.Down.Our.Culture..1.of.5.pdf)

**Bloodlines of the Illuminati**

Also recovered was Fritz Springmeier's **Bloodlines of the Illuminati**, a book alleging that powerful family bloodlines secretly control world affairs. ODNI lists it among the English-language books recovered from Abbottabad.

[CIA copy of Bloodlines of the Illuminati](https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/FC/FC2F5371043C48FDD95AEDE7B8A49624_Springmeier.-.Bloodlines.of.the.Illuminati.R.pdf)

**Committee of 300**

The collection also contained John Coleman's **Conspirators' Hierarchy: The Committee of 300**, another book centered on claims of a secret international ruling group.

https://archive.dni.gov/index.php/features/1532-bin-laden-bookshelf-features?start=5

**9/11 conspiracy literature**

There was considerably more than the card-game material.

The bookshelf included David Ray Griffin's **The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11** and Michael Ruppert's **Crossing the Rubicon**.

**Occult material**

Another striking title is Manly P. Hall's **The Secret Teachings of All Ages**, the massive 1928 work dealing with esoteric traditions, secret societies, symbolism, alchemy and mysticism.

**Federal Reserve conspiracy literature**

The collection included Eustace Mullins' **Secrets of the Federal Reserve**, another longstanding work in conspiracy literature.

**More of the same**

Other recovered titles included **The Taking of America 1-2-3** by Richard Sprague, **Black Box Voting: Ballot Tampering in the 21st Century** by Bev Harris, **The Best Enemy Money Can Buy** by Antony Sutton, **Confessions of an Economic Hit Man** by John Perkins, **Killing Hope: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II** by William Blum, and the actual congressional record of the **1977 Senate hearing on MKULTRA**.

These works are very different from one another, and finding something in the compound does not prove bin Laden personally read it or believed it.

**And then there were the video games**

The files included a **Delta Force: Xtreme 2 Videogame Guide** and a **GameSpot Videogame Guide**.

ODNI placed these in a separate category called **"Documents Probably Used by Other Compound Residents."** That distinction matters because material recovered from the compound cannot automatically be attributed personally to bin Laden.

https://archive.dni.gov/index.php/features/1532-bin-laden-bookshelf-features?start=13

**The actual government archives**

[ODNI: Bin Laden's Bookshelf](https://archive.dni.gov/index.php/features/1532-bin-laden-bookshelf-features)

[ODNI: English-language books recovered at Abbottabad](https://archive.dni.gov/index.php/features/1532-bin-laden-bookshelf-features?start=5)

[CIA: 2017 release of nearly 470,000 Abbottabad files](https://www.cia.gov/stories/story/cia-releases-nearly-470000-additional-files-recovered-in-may-2011-raid-on-usama-bin-ladins-compound/)

[CIA: Abbottabad archive index](https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/index_glossary.html)

The CIA hosting one of these books or documents does **not** mean the CIA endorsed it. These are files recovered during the raid and later released as part of the Abbottabad collection.
