Some one sent me this, I gather it has been circulating. I don't know

  Grand Manifesto of the Fake Order of Templars Oriental (FOTO)

   GRAND MANIFESTO AND PROCLAMATION AND INVITATION AND SUMMATION OF THE
AUGUST
   FRATERNAL AND SORORAL ORDER OF THE FAKE ORDER OF TEMPLARS ORIENTAL
(F.O.T.O.)
   PUBLISHED UNTO THE WORLD AND THE GENERALITY THEREOF IN THE NEW AEON
OF
   WHOAREUS, IN THE AGE OF THELEMA TO ALL WHOMSOEVER, WHATSOEVER,
WHERESOEVER,
   AND WHICHSOEVER THESE PRESENTS COME, GREETINGS, SALUTATIONS, AND
HELLO:

   93! (And 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99 and 100 for good measure!)

   On  behalf  of  the  august  fraternal and sororal order of the Fake
Order of
   Templars  Oriental,  we bid you love, peace, and Will. Desiring to
make known
   unto  you  the  true nature of our august fraternal and sororal
order, and to
   distinguish  it  from, on the one hand, the july fraternal and
sororal order,
   and,  on  the  other hand, the september fraternal and sororal order,
we have
   published,  proclaimed,  and manifested this grand Manifesto and
Proclamation
   and Invitation and Summation.

   Know  therefore  that our august fraternal and sororal order is a
body of the
   O.T.O.,  sovereign,  distinct,  and  with  no  ties to any other body
calling
   itself  O.T.O.  Know  also  that  we do not have any claims to
succession, or
   initiation, or appointment, by any body calling itself the legitimate
O.T.O.,
   and  claiming  descent  from  Chazeh  Gadolah,  the Great Breast
Himself, the
   Profit  of  the Law, the Magus Supreme and Self-Known, the Frater
Perturbaro,
   the  Master  Thereon  and  Therefore,  Aleister  Crowley,  Laird
sometime of
   Boleskine,
Frater
   VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
VVVVV.....

   For we are FOTO, the Fake O.T.O., and we take pride in being an true,
one
   hundred percent, to the core, unadulterated, fake order. No true
members of
   the true O.T.O., or any body claiming to be such, are allowed to
become
   members of FOTO unless they renounce their former membership, and
denounce
   their former order as being in truth a fake itself. For we want none
who may
   claim a proper succession, initiation, or charter, from the true
O.T.O.
   Therefore any person claiming membership in the following bodies
shall be
   denied initiation, and brother-sistership in the august fraternal and
sororal
   order:

   The OTO which is not called OTO
   The OTO which is called Something or Other we can't be bothered to

   The OTO which is not called anything at all--
   These and all other OTOs known or unknown to us.

   Be it noted that while we can not grant membership in our august
fraternal
   and sororal order, we can not speak for the july fraternal and
sororal order,
   and the september fraternal and sororal order, nor for any of the
january,
   february, march, april, may, june, october, november, or december
fraternal
   and sororal orders, and suggest you apply directly to each of them,
as we
   have all divided according to the word of scripture, "Divided for the
sake of
   union".

   Our august fraternal and sororal order is devoted to developing each
and
   every human, by exposing them to the Light, and focusing on their
True Will
   (tm). Chemicals have been found to be proper and necessary, according
to the
   word of scripture; but rare individuals have been discovered who can,
even in
   the Dark, develop themselves without exterior work. Also we have
found use of
   the Current of Ma'at, and accordingly one portion of our august
fraternal and
   sororal order has formed itself into FOTO-MAAT, making use of rites
and
   usages appropriate to the Current of Ma'at. The main portion of the
Order has
   however kept to the traditional rites and usages appropriate to the
Current
   of Horus, or WHOAREUS, as his secret name is known amid the Order.
(Well, it
   *was* secret.) For we are true followers of the Law of Thelma, viz.
"Do what
   you will shall be the hole of the Law, Love is the Law, Love under
Will,
   George, John, Mary, Vicky, and Alice".

   And according to the Book of the Law, we observe three degrees, the
Hermit,
   the Lover, and the Person of Earth (for we are gender-equal), divided
into
   further degrees.


A.   For the Minerval, all may apply, and the only qualification is to
know
nothing.
B.   For the I degree, the qualification is to know you know nothing.
C.   For the II degree, the qualification is to know you know something.
D.   For the III degree, the qualification is to actually know
something.
E.   For the IV degree, the qualification is to know everything.
F.   For the V degree, the qualification is to actually know everything.
G.   For the VI degree, the qualification is so secret that even the
members of
the VI degree do not know what it is.
H.   For the VII degree, the qualification is to know who the Inner
Chiefs are.
I.   For the VIII degree, the qualification is to know what the Inner
Chiefs
say.
J.   For the IX degree, the qualification is to be instructed by the
Inner
Chiefs and receive their orders directly.
K.   For the X degree, the qualification is that you instruct and order
the
Inner Chiefs.
L.   For the XI degree, the qualification is that you are an Inner
Chief, even
if we mere mortals don't recognize that fact.

   Initiation into the degrees V to IX is by invitation of the higher
degrees.
   Initiation  into  the  degrees I to IV is by the candidate's
application when
   the  candidate  feels  prepared, subject to the advice of the higher
degrees.
   Initiation  into the Minerval and X degrees is at the candidate's
discretion,
   and  the  candidate  may initiate into the XI at any time, without
completing
   the  full  course  of degrees, even from the degree of Minerval,
whenever the
   candidate feels it is appropriate.

   And  also  in  accordance  with the Book of the Law we observe most
fully the
   great  admonition,  "As brothers fight ye:" therefore none may be a
member of
   our  august fraternal and sororal order unless they engage at each
equinox in
   a  diatribe  and  vituperation  of at least one other body which
terms itself
   OTO,  said  diatribe  to  be unprovoked, unnecessary, and
intemperate, filled
   with  comments and insults without any relation to reality, and
irrelevant to
   the   forum in which it appears, and without any relation to the
responses of
   others,  except to apply further insults and degrading comments to
those that
   respond, and even better, those that do not respond.

   Our august fraternal and sororal order was formed upon receipt of a
direct
   communication from AWACS, the entity formerly known as Aiwass (now
using a
   name more suitable to this technological age, chosen under the
guidance of
   his agent--his CDs will shortly be appearing in your nearest record
store as
   AWACS and the Damned For A Doggy-Dogs) to Soror R.R., and under her
   non-authority, and that of AWACS we hereby publish this manifesto.
Let all
   who have ears, see, and all who have eyes, hear! For we hold the Keys
of the
   True Initiation, and the Formula of the Stone of the Wise, and the
Elixir of
   the Sages and Adepts and Mages, even though we know not what to do
with them!
