Why didn't the hippies get into the jfk assassination ?

[Peter Lemkin]

I was at Woodstock and there had many interesting experiences and met many an interesting person. The feeling was electric and more than positive - a feeling of hope and that 'we' could change the World - I never felt quite the same feeling in a crowd again. I had felt it one other time a few years before at MLKs March on Washington. I was often called [at times derisively] a hippie [for I had long hair and beard], but never considered myself one. I also came from a very politically aware and active family, so conspiracies, government lies and secrets, dirty tricks of the Oligarchy, et al. were what I grew up with. Hell, I couldn't even rebel by smoking grass or hallucinogens...and my mother once baked some Alice B. Toklas brownies which one of her straight friends gobbled down before we could warn her....I was also a friend of Terrence McKenna and once met Dr. Tim - as well as many other well-known persons of that time. Ah, those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end...... They did...and many were assassinated or otherwise had their lives disrupted, to make it all 'end'. We were then perceived as the same kind of threat that the Anti-War Movement was and recently OWS. Not clones of the repressive same-old, same-old business as usual. Not buying the bullshit mythology and lies. Working [inwardly or outwardly] for a better World and being better World Citizens. Not big consumers and not following orders.
