What's so hard to believe about CIA/Secret service agents disguised as hotdog men, cleaners and other roles associated with a superbowl event?

I guess nothing, just made me think of the superbowl and how DHS said they will train hotdog vendors to look for terrorism. He could of drawn anything but he drew a hot dog vendor. wanted to show it. There is something freaky about those cards.

I don't think the cia "went after" steve jackson. I believe he was raided by the fbi or something because he had a game that was made/written by "the mentor" who was a member of LoD a well known hacker group from the 80s and early nineties. The fbi or whatever thought there was how to hack info or some crap in the game. It was all a stupid thing. Havent read about this stuff in years but thats pretty much whathappened.

And the illuminati card game was in my opinion inspired by robert anton wilsons illuminatus.. A lot of people seem to think this whole "illuminati" conspiracy thing is a recent thing.. But people have been talking about and blaming the "illuminati" for things for 100s of years! Although I do admit the card with the towers in it or whatever was kinda creepy.

wow, see I don't know a lot about this, and I came across a video on youtube with S. Jackson doing a phone interview and it sounded and maybe it's because of the person doing the interview that S. Jackson was the target, he did explain it was his co-worker but the intensity of the CIA's push on him seemed to be personal by what I heard, but again, this was more on the way the man doing the interview made it sound, I will do more reading up on this because I find it fascinating and scary lol, the twin towers card and the pentagon card is what freaked me out, now they are talking about a card that resembles the olympics and then this hot dog card, its just so crazy!
Thank you for your knowledge on this, it's such a deep subject if you ask me, lots to it.

Back in '94, I was a freshman in college and worked at a gaming store. We carried the Steve Jackson INWO cards. My co-workers and I used to look at the cards (even opened some of the packets when our manager wasn't around). The bottom of the boxes even said things like 'foolish mortal' and whatnot. We thought the game was a riot, but we didn't play and didn't know anyone who did. I never saw anyone buy them. After 9/11 when people brought up the card pics and made the connection- I remembered them and it brought back all kinds of memories. I agree that it is kind of creepy. We also sold copies of the Principia Discordia. Between reading that and all of the gaming books that were out at the time (even though I'm not a gamer myself) multiple times, and engaging all of our interesting/strange customers, there was never a dull moment. Good times.
