…Of course, what is called the National Debt is nothing other than the debt we owe to the bankers who “lent” this money [to the State], after the State had first had the kindness to extend to them the credit that allowed them to grant it this loan…

Robert Anton Wilson (1932–2007) was a polymath who worked across multiple fields, including fiction, philosophy, psychology, journalism, playwriting, poetry, and futurology. He was known for his libertarian views.
He described himself as an “agnostic mystic.” He was born in Brooklyn, New York. Throughout his life, he suffered from the effects of polio contracted in childhood.
He authored 35 books. He married in 1958 and had four children. He also studied engineering, mathematics, and psychology.
No one else—from the capitalist “industrial magnate” to the coal miner—benefits from this in any way; everyone pays taxes in interest payments that make the bankers ever richer…
What do the above ideas—familiar, perhaps uncomfortably so—have to do with the Illuminati and world governance? And what role does Leviathan play in all this? Of course, most of us know the mythical multi-tentacled sea monster from the Bible; many also know Hobbes’ book of that title; more recently, the term has reappeared as the name of an Israeli energy “block” in the eastern Mediterranean. And the present volume Leviathan concludes the Illuminatus! trilogy, revealing through numerous twists who lies behind a vast global conspiracy.
So, in the end, who is Leviathan?
