Naval Intelligence, MKUltra and the Hippie Movement

[Magda Hassan]

That the peace and love and universalism ethos, not to mention e
mpowerment, black or otherwise, of the 1960's was a threat to TPTB cannot be disputed and they didn't sit idly by waiting for it all to be over but actively brought about its end.

I can agree with that Magda.I can agree that the Feds had an operation to arrest and harass Deadheads.Dead shows were notorious for the presence of narcs upon the scene.Easy pickins' there.What I can't agree on is that Jerry Garcia or any of the band members were somehow working WITH the Feds,as was implied.And that's the trouble with Dave McGowens writing too.When you write a piece titled "The Mostly True Story....",well you can just make anything up that you feel like.

Grateful Keith

:itsme:

I can't remember his name but one of the group was experimented on as part of a MK ULTRA experiment. Perhaps the drummer.

I don't think MacGowan is making anything up just that not all of it can be substantiated.
