Mary's Mosaic: Entering Peter Janney's World of Fantasy

Drew-- I don't question that some agents are above doing ANYTHING to promote their agendas, but I remember the Leary media appearance. I was pretty young, but I remember what a peacenik and anti-war message Leary promoted. That doesn't sound like the same mold of CIA agents who so wanted an invasion of Cuba they were willing to assassinate their own president in order to provoke it.

As Leary presented in the Bowart's interview he was playing for the Yankees. His part was as the jester to distract the younger generation and get them to turn on (to drugs) tune in (to themselves, not others) and drop out (of social and political engagement) and in this he was very successful. Right up the dead end this pied piper led the youth. So they wouldn't go to Vietnam (rightly so) but while they were off going on internal cosmic trips and discovering themselves and living in communes meditating they were not involved in changing the status quo. There would be no revolution with this insular inward looking self absorbed generation. Mission accomplished. War by other means.

Albert-- Whatever Intel agents may have thought about LSD making soldiers not want to fight, the drug certainly didn't do much to pacify the Manson family, did it?

There is strong evidence to suggest that the LSD that the Manson Family were using was a military sourced/provided variety and probably not actually LSD.
