Illuminati Agent Captured


When Knoxville Police found 25-year-old Richard Anthony Smith, they say he was trapped in an air duct about 45 feet below the roof of the Knoxville Museum of Art.

Unusual enough.

But it's what he said next--"Mission failed"--that would launch a tale of intrigue.

With help from the Knoxville Fire Department, officers pulled Smith from the air duct without injury. Then they asked him what he was doing.

A police report indicates Smith said he was a "special agent with the United States Illuminati, badge number 0931."

His mission?

One from "Director Womack," to "defuse and confiscate a Soviet-made MERV6SS-22AN warhead, with 14.5 kg of enriched uranium and a plutonium trigger, capable of delivering a 40-kiloton yield."

Police say Smith believed the device was concealed in a blue, plastic cow sculpture in the basement of the museum.

3. He's lucky he got phone reception in that duct
As for his story, he's obviously a fantasist. Director Womack retired seven years ago.

Apparently, the description of the warhead is lifted from the film True Lies. This is possibly the first recorded case of anyone being convinced by an Arnie film. Sad story. I hope the guy gets the help he needs, rather than just being locked away.

4. Well, the SECOND recorded case...
...of anyone being convinced by an Arnie film.

Google "California recall election 2003."
