h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Paranoia Magazine has floated an advance of its cover, which features Tuesday Weld; a minor but notable American actress. The quirky part is that it claims that she is a "High Priestess" of the Illuminati.

In an attempt to scoop Paranoia, I will attempt to draw together the chain of meaningful coincidences:

Weld was a supporting character in "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", along with Warren Beatty.

Warren Beatty is brother to Shirley MacLaine, who popularized various New Age trends, as well as bankrolling and supporting Dennis Kucinich, a minor American presidential contender.

In 1980, Weld appeared in the the movie "Serial" with Martin Mull.

Martin Mull is the brother of Anodea Judith, former President & Priestess of the "Church of All Worlds" a neopagan organization that was based in part on ideas from Robert A. Heinlein's "A Stranger In a Strange Land". Mull's has worked with Roseanne Barr (herself quite a conspiracy buff). Shirley MacLaine played Roseanne's mother on the "Roseanne" TV program.

Robert Heinlein derived many of the ideas of "Stranger" from his interactions with Jet Propulsion Laboratory rocket scientist Jack Whitesides Parsons, and the Pasadena Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO).

OTO was for a time headed by Aleister Crowley, who had inherited the mantle of numerous initiatiac societies, masonic, Rosicrucian, and yes, even Illuminati.
