This is highly weird. In April 2006, a First Edition copy of the Principia Discordia was recovered from the John F. Kennedy Archives (see routing slip). Here is a bit of detail on how it was found:

I stumbled upon knowledge of the Dead SeePresident Scrolls purely by chance - a reference number on a scan of a copy of something I did not believe I was looking at: so much so that I passed over the title page of the first edition of the Principia Discordia (How The West Was Lost) many times before it dawned on me what it was before my eyes.

On that sheet was an Accession Number. And that number pointed to a secret which has lain hidden for over 30 years, trapped unseen in a musty, dusty vault in Maryland.

As luck would have it, the Rev. Karl Musser happened to be in the neighbourhood of that very vault, and willing to do me a favour, All Blessings Unto Him.

But how did these papers end up in the Assassination Archive in the first place?

In the late sixties, founding Discordian Kerry Thornley, who had been in the Marines with Oswald, found himself under the microscope of those investigating the Assassination of John F. Kennedy. Such Official Investigations generate a Paper Trail - evidence proffered is indexed and stored… preserved against the erosion of time. (Well, mostly…)
