The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu - is one of the two protagonist 'secret societies' in the "Illuminatus" series of books by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. In the books, The JAMs are in a seemingly endless struggle for control of human culture, government and power with their enemies, the Illuminati. Whereas the Illuminati's tactics are to restrict, govern, control the populace, The JAMs aim is to bring about anarchy and an end to any possibility of ultimate control.
