"Celine's laws"?

Yesterday I was looking up something totally legitimate and work related in Wikipedia, and after a couple of follow-on clicks found myself in an article that really wasn't … but that lists three "laws" framed by a fictional character written by Robert Anton Wilson. Maybe you know these laws by heart, but yesterday was the first time I ever saw them.

Part of what amuses me about them is that the first and third are quirky and funny (which I expected) … but the second is such an obvious piece of straightforward (but routinely ignored!) organizational advice that it ought to be burned into the flesh of anyone promoted into management. 
 
Herewith:
 
  1. National Security is the chief cause of national insecurity.
  2. Accurate communication is possible only in a non-punishing situation.
  3. An honest politician is a national calamity.
 
 
For your edification and amusement ….
