Our cup runneth over with high-quality super-fun Conspiracy Porn!

Let's start with something I've discussed on other threads here at the DPF.

From the article cited above:

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.

Dave McGowan doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about when he claims that a "drug and music movement came out of Laurel Canyon."

Wrong. It's like claiming that Andy Warhol invented the counter-culture.

Let's get this straight folks -- LA and New York were following San Francisco in psychedelic '66/'67.

By '69 LA/Laurel Canyon was more interested in Nashville country than SF psyche, and New York loved the stripped down rocknroll of Detroit's MC5 and the Stooges.

And when it comes to San Francisco what is the proof that The City's LSD/music scene was a government operation?

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."

Employees of MK-ULTRA? Employees? They were test subjects for LSD experiments in Menlo Park and Palo Alto.

And on the basis of this association we are to believe that Bill Graham and the Fillmore house band Jefferson Airplane were also in on this government plot? Big Brother and the Holding Co? Quicksilver Messenger Service?

Was Augustus Owsley Stanley in on it? And Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Neal Cassady?

I mean, what is the evidence here? Because some guys in LA were the sons of military intel? Because Ken Kesey volunteered for MK ULTRA experiments?

That's proof of US government plot to create the counter-culture?

So Admiral Morrison could take his wife to a Sunset Strip nightclub to hear their son Jim sing --

"'Father?' 'Yes, son?' 'I want to kill you!' 'Mother?' 'Yes, son?' 'I want to fuck you!'"

Yeah, that must have been a happy reunion.
