Quote:7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.

Quote:Irvin saw troubling implications in his discovery. He was aware, of course, of the CIA's infamous Project MK-ULTRA, in which the organization had given LSD to unsuspecting U.S. citizens. He also knew of the many conspiracy theories claiming that the government has been somehow involved with the creation of the "drug culture." He was also aware of Dave McGowan's research on the drug and music movement that had come out of Laurel Canyon in the 1960s, which showed that many of the "rock idols" who created it were the children of members of military intelligence.

Quote:It is also notable that two individuals associated with the Grateful Dead were once employees of the CIA's MK-ULTRA programband member and lyricist Robert Hunter [15], and author Ken Kesey[16] whose "Merry Pranksters" were often at the Grateful Dead shows promoting LSD use to the "Deadheads."

There's one thing I've learned from being on this forum.Articles that have obvious truths wrapped up in layers of bullshit,are nothing more than mis/dis-information.

R.K. Locke,thanks for letting me know that I'm part of the "New Dark Age.":kraka:

Quote:What was Anton LaVey's idea of the perfect satanic song?

Quote:Most today assume that the CIA and the other intelligence-gathering organizations of the U.S. government are controlled by the democratic process. They therefore believe that MK-ULTRA's role in creating the psychedelic movement was accidental "blowback." Very few have even considered the possibility that the entire "counterculture" was social engineering planned to debase America's culture as the name implies. The authors believe, however, that there is compelling evidence that indicates that the psychedelic movement was deliberately created. The purpose of this plan was to establish a neo-feudalism by the debasing of the intellectual abilities of young people to make them as easy to control as the serfs of the Dark Ages. One accurate term used for the individuals who were victims of this debasing was "Deadhead," which is an equivocation for a "dead mind" or "a drugged, thoughtless person."

Keith Millea Wrote:R K,I'd like to understand if you think these assertions above are generally sound.I'm just trying to get a read on what you're position is.

My own feelings are that they are not sound.In fact,I would think they are the opposite of soundness.

1-Psychedelics to debase the intellectual abilities of young people?

It's been my view that psychedelic substances ENHANCE intellectual abilities.

2-to make them as easy to control as the serfs of the Dark Ages.

It's been my view that psychedelics lead away from control and towards free thought.

3-One accurate term used for the individuals who were victims of this debasing was "Deadhead," which is an equivocation for a "dead mind" or "a drugged, thoughtless person."

As a proud Deadhead,it's my view that this quote is totally insulting.
