27 Club And COINTELPRO

[Albert Doyle]

I've just learned that a British writer named Howard Sounes has written a book about the "27 Club". This is a famous group of musicians who all died at 27. If you scan it you'll see Sounes takes a rather revisionist, Thatcherist-conservative viewpoint trying to show a common link between 27 Club members and an isolatable psychological background that predestined their fates. The 27 Club is a recent phenomenon designed to inculcate the less intellectually inclined I-Phone generation into being mystified by this strange curse and thinking about its victims in this shallow magical way. That way the younger generation won't look deeper into the real information behind some of the deaths of its members like Brian Jones and Jimi Hendrix. Sounes uses contrived pop-psychology and conservative moralizing to show the 27 Club's members all basically had the same flaws and were all victims of those very same conspicuously promoted flaws. And as the linked article by blogger Glen Boyd shows, Sounes typically used police and official sources for his case without mentioning any of the known problems with those sources.

Sounes is probably an intel propagandist trying to condition the public into thinking COINTELPRO victims like Hendrix were victims of their own habits. If you look up his background Sounes was a writer for the Sunday Mirror. These kind of filthy counter propaganda books usually appear when the real evidence for their targets' murders starts emerging:
