                           "And behold, thusly was the Law formulated:
                        IMPOSITION OF ORDER = ESCALATION OF DISORDER!"
                                HBT; The Gospel According to Fred, 1:6


THE FIVE ORDERS OF DISCORDIA ("THEM")

                                         Gen. Pandaemonium, commanding

The seeds of the ORDERS OF DISCORDIA were planted by Greyface into his
early disciples.  They form the skeleton of the Aneristic Movement,
which over-emphasizes the Principle of Order and is antagonistic to
the necessary compliment, the Principle of Disorder.  The Orders are
composed of persons all hung up on authority, security, and control;
i.e., they are blinded by the Aneristic Illusion.  They do not know
that they belong to the Orders of Discordia.  But _we_ know.

1.  THE MILITARY ORDER OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE FIVE-SIDED TEMPLE.  This
is for all of the soldiers and bureaucrats of the world.
2.  THE POLITICAL ORDER OF THE PARTY FOR WAR ON EVIL.  This is
reserved for lawmakers, censors, and like ilk.
3.  THE ACADEMIC ORDER OF THE HEMLOCK FELLOWSHIP.  They commonly
inhabit schools and universities, and dominate many of them.
4.  THE SOCIAL ORDER OF THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE FOR CONCERNED CITIZENS. 
This is mostly a grass-roots version of the more professional
military, political, academic, and sacred Orders.
5.  THE SACRED ORDER OF THE DEFAMATION LEAGUE.  Not much is known
about the DL, but they are very ancient and quite possibly were
founded by Greyface himself.  It is known that they now have absolute
domination over all organized churches in the world.  It is also
believed that they have been costuming cabbages and passing them off
as human beings.

      Don't let               A person belonging to one or more Order
       T H E M                is just as likely to carry a flag of the
     immanentize              counter-establishment as the flag of the
         the                  establishment -- just as long as it is
      Eschaton                a flag.
