I suggest a simple experiment. Every time

you hear the expression “the war on drugs,” change

it mentally to “the war on some drugs.” At the same time

call up to mind all the Drug Stores and Bars in your town

or neighborhood and all the cigarette shelves in your friendly

supermarket and remember that the government has started no war

against them. When you understand that we have no “war on drugs”

but only a “war on some drugs,” consult the passages on double-think and

duck-speak in Orwell’s “1984” for further enlightenment on neurolinguistic

mindwarping.

Robert Anton Wilson has been called a ‘21st century renaissance man,’ and ‘one of

the most important scientific philosophers of this century’. A member of the Committee for

the future called him ‘one of the leading thinkers of the modern age’. Wilson is the author of

Cosmic Triggers I & 2, and the Schroedinger s Cat Trilogy, which has been referred to as ‘the most

scientific of all science-fiction novels’ by New Scientist.

Wilson earned his doctorate in psychology from Hawthorne University, and has over 28 books to his

name. Perhaps the best known is The Illuminatus Trilogy, which he co-wrote with Robert Shea. He has also co-

written a book with Timothy Leary who called him ‘one of the most important scientific philosophers of this century.’

Robert Anton Wilson has written works of poetry and has appeared as a stand-up comic. He has taught seminars

at New Age centres such as the Esalen Institute, and has even appeared on a punk record called the Chocolate Biscuit
Conspiracy with Golden Horde.

Wilson’s books have been known to re-interpret history in innovative and brave new ways. His new works include an

encyclopedia of conspiracies that is due in the spring of 1997.
