Above link to 50:01 talk by the author.
Ram Dass, Allen Ginsberg on harmonium and a short-haired woman on tabla did a bit at St. John's in Santa Fe in 1972.
Ram Dass had a smile and nothing to say.
Allen Ginsberg did his horny B-52s raining fiery death blues.
The next day their microbus turned north at the Rosario Cemetary and headed for Taos.
In some dimension there is a continuum connecting Forestal's swan dive with that of Frank Olson.
Jim Jones and Charlie Manson.
James Jesus Angleton and Ted Kaczynski.
Sirhan and Chapman and Hinckley.
In The Search for the Manchurian Candidate we are told Sidney Gottlieb got nowhere with MK-ULTRA and disbanded it in 1973.
Sure.
I watched most of the video until I got tired of it. The take-away: these four pioneers brought profound positive social change by their use of psychedelics and subsequent careers. The speech is from an enthusiast to other enthusiasts. He is sad that legitimate research was ended in these admittedly dangerous drugs for their positive potentials. He has nothing to say about MK-ULTRA, Sidney Gottlieb, etc. and specifically rejects the notion that the CIA had anything to do with Timothy Leary, etc.
