Just a thought I was toying with ...
Circulate a rumour about Lady Gaga being a Discordian.
I suppose the best way is to target things like Youtube, fansites, even the press to view these claims. Build up slowly like that.
What about using tags to create a linkage which can be picked up algorithmically? If you can find a bunch of links that I can follow to apply the tag "discordian", I'll give you a hand. Not much time to do the groundwork myself for the next few weeks though.
I'll definantly do it ... work gives me the perfect opportunity to :P I barely do anything but browse the web while there.
... well except today while I have to do ACTUAL work
God, she probably IS.

Hmm .. An idea, I am thinking that I can perhaps relate her song 'Poker Face' to Discordianism. OR that she gained inspiration for some of her lyrics from the Discordian National Anthem, or the Discordian Initiation Ritual.
QuoteCause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunning with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bait before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous
Which was inspired from an extract -
Quote...
Its my job to bluff
Eris has her buns
I'm never lying but I am telling the truth
I am never telling the truth, but I am lying
I'll trap you like glue
Take my bait, fall for me
I have gambling issues
I promise that I won't
But I am bluffing, my hand is square
...
I think I am going away too far from the point, its starting to sound lame :p Its somewhat too linear, needs more jumbling.
OBVIOUSLY needs alot more work, but its an idea regardless. Perhaps I can overly-analyse her lyrics. I know I am good at that.

I'll find a list of blogs, I registered for an account on Youtube - perhaps I can come up with a blog article and link it from youtube if people fall for the bait, to back it up as my evidence. I think with youtube I will just say it outright that "She is so a discordian", and wait for a response (hopefully get into an arguement)
... I think a series of different stories would be more effective however.
Maybe targetting her hermaphrodite rumours were actually there to cover up some other secrets?
.. getting carried away now :P
Alternatively how about a repeat of Colbertgasm? Re-tailored for the target in question, of course.
I started going through the CobaltGASM.. fascinating project.
Getting the message over would be the main issue, there would obviously be some line of communication; but this is also Gaga, perhaps she craves something like this - maybe as a sense of inspiration.
Though, if we actually made it through and had the desired effect, what would we get her to do? Make a song with Illumanti themes?
I don't know though, maybe spreading rumours about her being a Discord could have an interesting effect. If it does hit off and creates more links on the net refering back to Discordianism, what could happen from that?
Lady Gaga apart of the Illumanti, and she worships Satan.
This could turn two different ways, either fuck it up with Discordianism - claiming her as one of our own or do it similar to ColbertGASM.
If we manage to claim her as a Discordian, would this give us wanted or unwanted attention?
OR
If the Illumanti were extending their hand to her formally because she is a worthy soul. What could happen from that? Would it turn into a big joke? Would she get creeped out?
After reading the Colbert thread.
Could we convince Gaga that we've given her a spot based on xx conditions? What changes could this bring? But is she as supersticious as Colbert? Perhaps could convince her to carry on knowledge with regards to the Illumanti, since she has been observed and would be the best vessel.

there's the vigilant citizen website, which links lady gaga to the illuminati for us already.
http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=1676
Important Question:
How do we effectively spread a rumor like this?
Look up MileyGASM - the attempt to label Miley Cyrus as a Discordian. Did they succeed at their goal? If one were to approach a task like this, how would you proceed differently? Is it possible as individuals to spread rumors about a celebrity which are then retransmitted by others? There's always so much celebrity gossip, do we hit the signal:noise ratio problem?
I was thinking we should recruit Lady Gaga for the Illuminati. Rumours are so passe.
OK, this moves this from GASM into O:MF territory, but here is the idea:
"We" contact her, as a member of the Illuminati. We point out, at great length, that her apparent mastery of certain symbolic representations and themes, along with her status, means she may be eligible to join the Illuminati. However, she has to figure out exactly what public, symbolic act she has to do to show she is worthy for initiation.
We then wait, either until she does something bizarre, or VigilantCitizen (or another conspiracy theorist) writes a massive article showing how she is part of some complex conspiracy. We then contact her as representatives of the Discordian society, warning her off the Illuminati, as they are not to be trusted and have nefarious motives.
I hadn't gotten much further than that though, there needs to be some sort of follow-through or something.
Damn, I really love the way you think.
But just a thought, would being contacted by the Discordians end up just being a way to get back to us?
Anyhow, if that does go through, we could start feeding her bullshit about something, perhaps like a conspiracy - and its her job to write songs to pass this idea through?
Also, since there is a craze about Listening to songs backwards, perhaps get her to add a part that when played backwards says "I work for the Illumanti", or something a little less obvious (Something like Revolution 9 only not soo fucked up)... that would more than likely stir something up. Albiet, if it goes through anyhow.
But, continuing on - she is weird. No doubt about that, she would definantly be the best person to write a song with hidden meanings, if we could only have some sort of influence on that.
Instead of contacting her as a Discordian after the bait has been taken why not use
- The Hand of NOD
- Order of the GoldenDawn
- Satanism
I particularly like the sound of 'The hand of NOD' - I got that from the first C&C game.
only if we include some lame joke about NOD & ZOD

I like this. Her line of communication back to us might be through the videos -- to accept she needs to release a video prominently featuring hot dog buns (which will drive VC up the wall trying to analyze it).
In the latest issue of Rolling Stone Lady Gaga references a recurring dream in which a phantom tries to get her to perform an Illuminati ritual. Is this a coincedence or did somebody here actually send her a letter telling her to mention a dream with honey mustard and self-mutilation (it's a pretty messed up dream) ?
And here I already thought she was in the Illuminati and was sending us subliminal messages through her musics and videos?
What happens if she's already in an illuminati?
I think we should approach her with the assumption that she is, or thinks she is.
Our angle: That the "illuminati" she joined are johnny-come-latelys, and we'd be interested in offering her a place in our older, and far more legitimate, illuminati.
I approve of this message. We can even have her people check with Colbert.

Also known as the really real illuminati for realness? ;-)
Yes.
I think that if we really wanted to get a reaction, we'd need to dangle the right carrot.
As far as I can tell, all she cares about is being famous. She's said as much in interviews, and all her actions say the same. So, it would be optimal to give her the impression that we have connections we could use to make her even MORE famous.
This sounds like something that require some really cool lookin' stationary.

That also screams someone who has too much damn time on his hands.
