"IGNORE THIS: FNORD" IS A LINE from the Illuminatus Trilogy, an
ostensibly humorous book popular some years back in certain circles. As was explained in
the book, "Fnord" was a nonsense word that was inserted into the text of
newspapers to subliminally cause anxiety in the reader. Depending on how liberally the
word was used in various newspaper articles, a sense of outrage or horror could be
generated in the reader. As children, the book explains, the schools had programmed us not
to notice the word when it appears. For example, if the newspaper read "Seven nuns
were injured fnord in a drive-by shooting fnord today", we would think we see
"Seven nuns were injured in a drive-by shooting today," and feel very troubled
by the story. The words "injured" and "shooting", in particular, would
bother us the most. At Pine Tree State Mind Control, we read this and
smile. We are amused because we know that school age is too late to make programming on
this level stick in the subconscious unless alpha waves in the brain are present (as they
are when we sleep or watch television). There are much easier methods of coding subtle
messages that will work on people of any age and of any language. These include but are
not limited to using masked, very small, or rapidly changing pictures, ultra- or subsonic
frequencies, and the use of physical agents.

This kind of knowledge can be dangerous in the wrong hands, and you should be thankful
that Pine Tree State Mind Control has your best interests in mind. We
want to create a world in which people aren't scared to live. Using a wide variety of
behavior modification techniques, we can eliminate crime, violence, greed, rivalry, fear,
and passion. Over the years, these bad elements have done great damage to our social
infrastructure, which in turn keeps all of humanity from truly enjoying the fruits of
centuries of civilization.
"Art versus Reality versus The Soul" is our motto. For too long we have let
Reality push us around and crush our Soul. If instead we let Art crush our Souls, Reality
will be rendered victimless. This, friends, is why our organization exists. Print these
flyers from off the web site. Copy and post them in hallways, on refrigerators, and in
other high-traffic areas. Ideally, they will remain posted until people pass by without
noticing them. That will enable the subliminal messages to sink in and grab hold better.
Yes, even this page contains many coded instructions that encourage passivity and sloth.
The fnords that appear between the first and second paragraphs and elsewhere are
meaningless red herrings put in for your amusement. Ignore them. If you hadn't noticed
them until they were pointed out to you, well, good luck finding the other messages. fnord
