I was reconsidering my choice of phrase even before I saw your comment here Jan, as it dawned on me flicking through the Manson pages of the (still unfinished by me) Levenda trilogy that I've missed much of the discussion and import of the event. I'll need to browse through the relevant pages here on DPF and get a sense of the whole thing.
I stand by my recurrent feelings of surprise as to just how many of the landmark events of the 60's and 70's (as publicised on TV with pop tunes of the era playing over montages of news clips encapsulating history) actually cover up conspiratorial events. (I exclude the moon landing from this category, but after you zip through the political assassinations, Watergate, the Manson killings, Jonestown and others, there's a feeling of numbness at how much of recent history is distorted through a lens to exclude deep political/CIA/conspiratorial involvement).
I'm going to read through all the gathered and linked documentation (soon) with an eye to digesting the MK-Ultra associations. Though maybe I should just return to my bookshelf and finish that SINISTER FORCES trilogy.
