While LSD wasn't the sole cause of "The Sixties", the era would have looked far different without acid. Tonight we explore how LSD and other psychedelics served a political and social function from the earliest days of the CIA, taking in Cold War brinkmanship, MKUltra, and the search for mind control.

What evidence exists that Seymour Hersch is a “CIA conduit” or somehow a tool of the agency?

Excellent episode. It’s this history that makes the current liberal obsession with “I love science! We must listen to the scientists!” drive me crazy. The modern history of science from the 20th century onward is often one of madness, if not evil. I don’t trust scientists.

I used to live in the area around DC, and I visited Frederick, Maryland a couple of times because one of my friends moved there. It’s a cute little city, as well as the home of, or at least nearest municipality to, Fort Dietrich, the home of the US bio/chemical weapons labs. Whenever I was there, I was always kind of struck by what a large, and seemingly thriving homeless population there was in this little city, if you could even call it that. My friend who lived there explained that the city had a lot of services/outreach for the homeless, which seemed to attract them, and at the time I just thought, well that’s nice of them. But now I can’t think of it without thinking of the looming shadows of Fort Dietrich and Edgewood Arsenal, and wondering if that large homeless population isn’t useful to someone.

It just came out recently, that project blue bird was also conducted in Denmark. DR (like our BBC) is doing a documentary on it now. The CIA under the guise of the human ecology fund, conducted their experiments in Københavns kommunehospital (Copenhagen municipality hospital). They used orphaned children and kept them locked in the dark basement hooked up to electrodes and exposed them to harrowing images and sounds, trying to induce schizophrenia
