я конечно понимаю...праздники, думать никому не хочеться...НО, может кому-нибудь будет интересно
| Цитата: | По оценкам специалистов, в Европе примерно 20 миллионов людей занимаются оккультизмом: верят в астрологию, реинкарнацию, космическую энергию, исповедуют сатанизм. В Западной Германии 85 тыс. закоренелых сатанистов. В том числе приверженцы культа Викки - радикального феминистского движения, устраивающего развратные языческие оргии. В частности, этот культ очень распространен среди женского состава военно-воздушной базы США, расположенной неподалеку от немецкого города Вормса. Стоит упомянуть и сатанинские организации ОТО (Ordo Templi Orientis ) - Ордена Восточных Тамплиеров, больше известные под названием "Орден Телема" и "Орден Сатурна". Обе эти организации базируются в Нижней Саксонии и практикуют принесение в жертву животных, устраивают непристойные черные мессы, приводят своих адептов к деградации и саморазрушению. По данным опроса, недавно проведенного западногерманским Аленсбахским Институтом, 16% молодежи от 16 до 19 лет верит в реинкарнацию и оккультные явления.
Партия зеленых сейчас вполне официально лоббирует сатанизм в западногерманском парламенте. В середине марта 1989 г. зеленые под предводительством мисс Остерли-Шверин публично потребовали легализовать в стране педофилию. Они настаивают на принятии соответствующего законодательства еще до окончания весенней сессии. Если педофилию в Германии узаконят, сатанизм будет распространяться в массовом масштабе.
Я привела именно этот пример, потому что педофилия, а точнее, вступление в гомосексуальные отношения с детьми, является одним из главных способов посвящения людей в сатанинские ритуалы. В современнойй Англии 8 тыс. практикующих колдунов и ведьм, причем большинство из них, как мы увидим дальше, это выходцы из самых высоких слоев общества. Мы сотрудничаем с англичанкой миссис Дианой Кор, главой организации "Чайлдвоч" ("Надзор за детьми", "Childwatch"). Ссылаясь на отчет британских психиатров, она утверджает, что в одной только Англии ежегодно 4 тысячи детей приносятся в жертву Сатане!
Как детей втягивают в сатанинские секты? В большинстве случаев это происходит через педофилические порнокруги, во главе которых стоят весьма влиятельные люди. 2 февраля в Лондоне состоялся суд над целым рядом таких высокопоставленных лиц, среди которых фигурировал мистер Колин, бывший дипломат, некогда занимавший высокий пост в британском Министерстве иностранных дел, несколько членов Палаты Лордов и члены Англиканской церкви. Все они в течение долгих лет управляли педофилической сетью, охватывавшей 150 мальчиков.
Детей туда вербовали через публиковавшиеся в прессе объявления о найме на работу или через спортивные клубы. Аналогичные случаи вскрылись два года назад в Бельгии, где полиция арестовала двух членов бельгийского Министерства юстиции, один из которых, помимо всего прочего, возглавлял бельгийское отделение ЮНИСЕФ. Арестованы они были тоже за организацию разветвленной педофилической сети. (Попутно замечу, что глава индонезийской секты Субуд, Варинда Тарзи Виттачи, некогда занимал пост генерального секретаря ЮНИСЕФ!)
Детям, вовлеченным в сатанинские секты, промывают мозги не хуже, чем в армии. Миссис Кор рассказала нам о маленьких детях, подвергшихся сексуальному насилию и настолько запуганных, что они боялись даже заикнуться посторонним о том, что с ними стряслось. А недавно слушалось дело юной девушки, которую сатанисты восемь раз заставляли беременеть и делать аборт. Абортированных младенцев замораживали и затем поедали во время ритуального пиршества, принуждая девочку смотреть на весь этот ужас. И таких случаев тысячи! Но преступникам нередко удается уйти от правосудия, поскольку на самом верху есть люди, защищающие сатанистов.
Взять хотя бы английский королевский дом. Принц Чарльз - открытый приверженец Нью-Эйдж. Два года назад вышла книга Джона Дейла "Принц и паранормальные явления: духовная преемственность королевского дома". Принц Чарльз изображен в ней убежденным мистиком-ньюэйджером, он полностью заворожен оккультизмом и паранормальными явлениями. "Покровительство королевского дома, - пишет Дейл, - весьма способствовало тому, что Великобритания превратилась в центр западного оккультизма. Здесь свободно применяются оккультные методы, не разрешенные в других странах. А вспомните отца принца Чарльза, принца Филиппа, президента Всемирного Фонда дикой природы, недавно заявившего в интервью, что поскольку мир так перенаселен, он мечтает в своем следующем воплощении стать смертоносным вирусом СПИДа!
В отчете, представленном несколько лет назад американским департаментом правосудия, говорится, что в США ежегодно исчезает 1,8 миллионов детей. На пакетах молока, на стенах почты можно увидеть объявления о розыске пропавших ребятишек. И опять-таки американские сливки общества непосредственно связаны с сатанизмом. Основатель американской "Церкви Сатаны" Антон Ла Вей - главный советник Голливуда. В 1972 г. американский полковник Майкл Акино, крупнейший специалист по вопросам ведения психологической войны, служивший на военно-воздушной базе в Калифорнии, основал отпочковавшуюся от церкви Ла Вея секту "Храм Сета". Акино - убежденный сатанист и поклонник Гитлера. Он вытатуировал себе на лбу сатанинское число 666. Акино управляет компьютерной сетью "Бафомет", адепты его секты, по большей части, люди военные. Два года назад полковнику Акино было предъявлено обвинение в насилии над ребенком, однако он до сих пор на свободе и открыто рекламирует свою секту по американскому телевидению.
А вот другой пример. Фирма "Пепси-Кола" тоже занимается пропагандой сатанизма. Недавно голливудская компания "Уорнер Бразерс" выпустила фильм "Как молитва", снятый на деньги "Пепси-Колы". В Италии и Германии этот фильм запретили, сочтя его кощунством по отношению к Иисусу Христу. В нем знаменитая американская поп-звезда Мадонна разгуливает в полуобнаженном виде по церкви среди горящих крестов. Там же, в церкви, происходит изнасилование. Затем Мадонна поет, что Иисус должен сойти с креста и поцеловать ее. После чего берет нож и , богохульствуя, протыкает себе руки, имитируя Христовы раны. Вы спросите, кто спонсоры и продюсеры этой сатанинской картины? - Это директор "Пепси-Колы" Роджер Энрико, потребовавший в своей книге "Война Колы" создать новое "поколение Пепси". Не буду вдаваться в детали, скажу только, что компания "Пепси-Кола" теснейшим образом связана с латиноамериканской наркоторговлей. В частности, с венесуэльской наркоимперией Сиснеросов. Выступавший на недавно прошедшей в Бразилии епископальной конференции монсеньор Синесио сказал, что только в последние два года в Бразилии, как из-под земли, появилось 4500 неканонических церквей и оккультных сект. "Откуда они взялись? - спрашивает монсеньор Синесио. - Уж не из недр ли ЦРУ?"
Однако на самом деле сатанизм никогда не получил бы такого массового распространения, если бы не был тесно увязан с контркультурой рока и наркотиков.
Рок-музыка, активно популяризировавшаяся с начала 60-х годов, оказывает абсолютно разрушительное воздействие на психику молодежи. В ряде исследований доказывается, что рок-музыка пагубно действует на сознание и подсознание не только из-за весьма специфических звуковых и световых эффектов, но и из-за того, что слова песен, исполняющихся многими сатанинскими рок-группами, направлены на массовую вербовку молодежи в наркоманы, гомосексуалисты и сатанисты.
РАСПРОСТРАНЕНИЕ САТАНИЗМА ПО ВСЕМУ МИРУ
Теперь давайте посмотрим, как появляются сатанинские секты и как они приобретют мировой размах. Совершенно ясно, что сатанизм и Нью-Эйдж - это не просто некие "социологические феномены". Нет, они были искусственно созданы и вполне управляемы. Главный командный пункт, откуда ведется продвижение сатанизма по миру, это "Трест Люциса". Он был основан в 1922-24 гг. теософкой Алисой Бейли, уроженкой США. Сейчас основными спонсорами "Треста Люциса", окопавшегося в ООН, являются Роберт Макнамара, бывший министр обороны США, Генри Клаузен, в последние годы возглавлявший в Америке франкмасонский орден шотландского обряда, Норман Казинс, Джон Д.Рокфеллер, Томас Ватсон, директор фирмы "Ай-Би-Эм" и быший посол США в Москве, англиканскийй епископ Кэнон Уэст, настоятель кафедрального собора св. Иоанна Богослова в Нью-Йорке, заместитель Генерального секретаря ООН Роберт Мюллер, семейство Маршалла Филда и объдиненная теософская ложа Нью-Йорка.
А вот список известнейших организаций, которые спонсируются "Трестом Люциса":
Теософский орден служения (основанный Анни Безант в 1908 г.)
Теософское общество (основанное мадам Блаватской в 1875 г)
Организация Объединенных Наций
Всемирный Фонд дикой природы (Великобритания)
Фонд Файндхорна
Международный Гринпис
Гринпис США
Международная Амнистия
Общество Николая Рериха
Антропософское общество Рудольфа Штайнера
ЮНЕСКО
ЮНИСЕФ
Как видите, большинство этих организаций занимаются экологией и борются за мир. Их деятельность спонсируется "Трестом Люциса" через "Храм Понимания". Еще год тому назад сей храм находился в здании ООН. Теперь он перебазировался в подвал нью-йоркского кафедрального собора св. Иоанна Богослова. В прошлом году в "Храме Понимания" прошла конференция, которую устроил Центр советско-американского диалога.
Председательствовала на конференции некая Барбара Маркс Хаббард, о которой я подробней расскажу в конце статьи.
КТО ТВОРЦЫ НОВЫХ ТЕМНЫХ ВЕКОВ?
Как международная наркоторговля управляется сверху донизу, представляя собой самую что ни на есть сплоченную сеть международной преступности, так и сатанизм вкупе с Нью-Эйдж управляются сверху экспертами, связанными с английской и американской разведкой. В частности, экспертами калифорнийского научно-исследовательского Стэнфордского института. В 1974 г. этот институт провел исследование "Меняющийся образ человека". Возглавлялось оно Уиллисом Харманом и еще четырнадцатью учеными, среди которых были Б.Ф.Скиннер, Маргарет Мид и Мэрилин Фергюсон. Это был первый, еще черновой набросок плана использования методов социальной инженерии для смены традиционной культурной парадигмы и традиционных ценностей. Христианские идентификационные символы, предрекалось в исследовании, будут заменены новым образом человека, и люди начнут идентифицировать себя с животными, тотемами, увлекутся примитивными восточными религиями.
Еще одной важной точкой стал институт Пало-Альто в Калифорнии, где в начале 50-х гг. Олдос Хаксли проводил эксперименты под условным названием "МК-ультра". В экспериментах также участвовали швейцарские фармацевтические компании "Сандос" и "Хофман Ларуш". Хаксли пытался выяснить, каким образом психоделические препараты типа ЛСД можно распространить по миру в массовых масштабах.
Ну, и последним по счету (но далеко не последним по своему значению!) является "фабрика культов" - калифорнийский Изаленский институт, основанный в 1962 г. Майклом Мерфи, Уиллисом Харманом и Бертраном Расселом. Этот институт стал главным международным центром "сензитивной групповой терапии", дзен-буддизма и экспериментов в области "трансперсональной психотерапии", проводящихся с использованием ЛСД.
Много сделал Изаленский институт и для популяризации разных сект, в частности, сайентологии. В самого своего основания Изаленский институт активно сотрудничал с советскими парапсихологами в Новосибирске и Москве, осуществляя совместные проекты. Взяв на вооружение сензитивные программы "ЭСТ" и "СРАЙ", Изаленский институт начал проводить серьезную работу среди высокопоставленных американских военных и в правительственных кругах. Сотрудники института - поклонники русских мистиков Гурджиева, Николая Рериха и мадам Блаватской.
Это яркий пример восточно-западных взаимовлияний, определяющих облик движения Нью-Эйдж.
Первый сигнал о начале нового движения Нью-Эйдж подала в 1954 г. основательница "Треста Люциса" Алиса Бейли в своей книге "Образование в новом веке". Задолго до обнародования идей Римского клуба главным тезисом Нью-Эйдж стало то, что в будущем институт семьи должен быть уничтожен, поскольку планета перенаселена, и, значит, людям нужно меньше рожать. А потому все большую важность приобретает такая наука, как евгеника. Христианская эпоха или "век рыбы", говорилось в книге Алисы Бейли, ознаменовалась различными изобретениями, открытиями и завоеванием новых земель. Но теперь мы вступаем в Новый Век Синтеза.
В начале 60-х гг. молодежь захлестнула первая волна вербовки в Нью-Эйдж. Началось все со знаменитых студенческих восстанийй и движения хиппи. Именно в то время "Верховный Жрец" ЛСД Тимоти Лири воплотил эксперименты Хаксли на практике: он объезжал американские студенческие кампусы и бесплатно раздавал ЛСД. По миру начали распространяться "антиавторитарное" и феминистское движения, а также движение хиппи.
На начало 70-х приходится второй этап вербовки. Теперь агрессия молодежи направляется против рационализма и таких его символов, как наука, технология и буржуазное общество. Затем стартовало движение за запрещение ядерного оружия и "зеленые". Третья волна прокатилась в начале 80-х, когда на футорологическом конгрессе в канадском городе Торонто сотрудница Стэнфордского института Мэрилин Фергюсон устроила презентацию своей книги "Заговор Водолея". Она призвала к организации всемирного заговора нью-эйджеров, к созданию на планете сообществ, в которых люди, удачно поэкспериментировав с психоделическими препаратами, обретут новую форму духовности, основанную на полном отказе от современной науки и техники, и вернутся к древним языческим культам. В будущем, по прогнозам Фергюсон, нации и национальные культуры уступят место единой всемирной культуре, и все люди начнут исповедовать единую мировую религию.
ФИЛОСОФИЯ ЗЛА ЗА КУЛИСАМИ НОВОГО МРАЧНОГО ВЕКА
Нам придется немного вернуться в прошлое, к фигурам Фридриха Ницше, теософки Елены Блаватской, Алистера Кроули, психолога Карла Густава Юнга и английского историка Арнольда Тойнби. Сто лет назад Фридрих Ницше в очерках "Антихрист" и "Философия Диониса" назвал человека "уродливым и больным животным". Этот философ, труды которого сейчас вновь стараются популяризовать по всем мире, издал в конце XIX столетия военный клич, впоследствии подхваченный нацистами и использованный в доктрине "господствующей расы".
Ницше писал: " Мы верим в Олимп, а не в Распятого. Сексуальность, наркомания, огромная, радостная благодарность жизни и ее тираническим условиям - вот что составляет сущность языческой культуры. Я считаю наивысшей культурой пессимизм силы. Индивидууму больше не нужно оправдывать зло. Он наслаждается чистым злом, и именно бессмысленное зло кажется ему самым интересным. Если раньше человеку был нужен Бог, то теперь его манит мировой порядок без Бога, мир случайностей, в котором есть место и для ужасов, и для различных животных проявлений".
Елена Блаватская, радикальная русская феминистка, создала в 1875 году теософское движение с отделениями в Англии, США, Германии и Индиии. Вместе с графом Игнатьевым, состоявшем на службе в царской тайной полиции, и князем Кропоткиным, крупнейшим русским анархистом, весьма способствовавшим созданию большевизма, Блаватская провела очень хитроумную операцию по подрыву культурной безопасности Запада.
Ее теософские ложи были тайными обществами и трансляторами нацистской идеологии крови и почвы. Елена Блаватская верила в Люцифера, которого называла "Богом Света". Она верила в реинкарнацию, поклонялась языческой богине Изиде и вдохновлялась учением тибетских и индуистских гуру. Для нее, как и для Ницше, мир не был движим жаждой самосовершенствования, а представлял собой вечный цикл разрушения и развития.
Алистер Кроули, которого многие всерьез подозревали в том, что он всю жизнь работал на английскую военно-морскую разведку, был тяжелым извращенцем. Может быть, самым порочным из всех сатанистов. Он посвятил жизнь пропаганде сатанинских ритуалов. В том числе в его книгах содержатся подробные описания человеческих жертвоприношений, осуществлявшихся в Ордене восточных тамплиеров, который Кроули основал в 1906 г. Кроули был идейным вдохновителем не только гитлеровского окружения (например, Рудольфа Гесса), но и самых крупных немецких экс-террористов Ульриха Майнхофа и Гудрун Энсслин, которые зачитывались сатанинской литературой, чтобы подпитаться для проведения терактов "космической энергией".
В книге "Мастер Терион" (1930) Кроули пишет: " Было бы неразумным осуждать обычай дикарей, которые вырывают и поедают еще теплые сердце и печень врага... Ребенок мужского пола, сохранивший полную невинность и отличающийся высоким интеллектом - это самая лучшая, самая подходящая жертва."
В руководстве, знакомящем читателей с ритуалами Ордена восточных тамплиеров, Кроули говорил о необходимости существования "матерей-производительниц", зачинающих плод, который будет потом убит во время сатанинского шабаша.
Один из самых влиятельных духовных отцов Нового Века Карл Густав Юнг. В начале 30-х гг. XX столетия у него проходили обучение директор ЦРУ Аллен Даллес и основатели "Треста Люциса". Юнг был наставником Алисы Бейли и ее мужа Фостера Бейли, а также Меллонсов и Рокфеллеров - эти два семейства особенно постарались распространить идеологию Нью-Эйдж в США. Главный обучающий центр, где подвизался Юнг, находился в Монте Верита Аскона. Там встречались интеллектуалы Востока и Запада, там бывали Ленин, Троцкий, Горький.
Бывали и нацисты, которые в 1933 году начали говорить о необходимости упразднить христианство, перейти в эру Водолея и заставить людей поклоняться не Богу, а богиням - матери-Земле и матери-Природе, которые являются в образе Иштар и Изиды, даруют жизнь и отнимают ее в процессе бесконечных жизненных преобразований.
Ну, и наконец, нельзя не упомянуть об Арнольде Тойнби, который призвал в 1972 г. к уничтожению наций и заявил, что уж лучше человечеству жить при диктатуре ленинского типа, нежели подвергнуться риску уничтожения.
И вот тут мы подходим к сути происходящего, ибо основной целью идеологии Нью-Эйдж и откровенного сатанизма как раз и является создание культурных предпосылок для бежалостного уничтожения КАК МИНИМУМ ЧЕТВЕРТИ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСТВА. Что я сейчас и постараюсь это доказать.
КУЛЬТУРНЫЙ ПРЕДЛОГ ДЛЯ ГЕНОЦИДА
Эта цель становится видна с ужасающей ясностью, когда читаешь книги Барбары Маркс Хаббард, ученицы и коллеги профессора Изаленского института, небезызвестного Маслоу. Кроме того, Барбара Маркс Хаббард возглавляет "Центр советско-американского диалога", возникшего в результате плодотворной деятельности "Храма понимания". В 1980 г. Барбара Маркс Хаббард написала книгу под названием "Книга Сотворения. Откровение, альтернатива Армагеддону". Позвольте мне кое-что оттуда процитировать:
"Невозможно установить мир во всем мире, пока эгоцентричные члены планетарного организма не изменятся или не погибнут. Да, выбор таков. Красный конь - это уничтожение в зародыше тех, кто не встраиваться во вселенскую жизнь, устремленную к Богу... Они должны безусловно умереть..."
"Только благие ростки должны развиваться. Только устремленные к Богу выживут и унаследуют вселенское могущество..."
"В конце времен людей постигнут горести, они будут во всем терпеть нужду, начнут свирепствовать глад и мор... И лишь четверть из живущих на земле сможет возвыситься умом и духом. Другая же четверть не примет этого избранничества..."
"Четверть человечества - это разрушители. Они гневаются на Бога. Это плевелы..."
"Теперь, когда мы приближаемся к качественному скачку от человека-твари к человеку-творцу, люди, не обладающие божественным могуществом, эти разрушители, составляющие четверть человечества, должны быть удалены из социального организма... Эгоцентриков необходимо уничтожить, иного выхода нет. А устремленные к Богу смогут развиваться. Только хорошее останется жить."
"Вы, мои дорогие, к счастью, не несете за это ответственности. Это Божья воля, так уж проходит селекция на планете Земля. Бог отбирает, а мы уничтожаем. Мы всадники смерти, всадники на бледном коне. Мы несем гибель неспособным познать Бога. Мы делаем это на благо мира..."
"Всадники на бледном коне вот-вот поскачут среди вас. Суровые жнецы, они отделят зерна от плевел. Это самый болезненный период в истории человечества..."
"Облегчить боль от грядущих страданий можно путем создания в средствах массовой информации такого мощного эмоционального поля, что оно будет само отсеивать тех, кто способен к соединению, и изолировать, не прибегая к насилию, неспособных к любви."
Сей опус, сочиненный дамой, под чьим руководством проводился в последние годы американо-советский диалог в епископальной церкви святого Иоанна Богослова, окончательно подтверждает, что основной целью Нью-Эйдж и сатанизма является создание такого культурного контекста, в котором убийство миллиардов людей будет считаться приемлемым и каждый человек сможет, когда ему взбредет в голову, вершить свое собственное "правосудие" путем убийства. Это означает переход к жесточайшей мировой диктатуре, рядом с которой бледнеют диктатура Гитлера и евгеническая политика нацистов.

а вот по поводу всеми любимого Тима Лири
| Цитата: | Was Timothy Leary a CIA Agent?
by Mark Riebling
Timothy Leary, the CIA, and LSD: A Narrative Chronology. Touches on Angleton, JFK, and the mysterious unsolved murder of Mary Meyer.
EXT. THE WHITE HOUSE -- SUNSET -- (JULY 1962)
Summer-bachelor Jack Kennedy stands on the Harry Truman balcony overlooking the rose-garden fountain, a soothing sight before him: prisms of lighted water shooting into darkness, the white spike of the Washington Monument, auto headlights flickering along Executive Avenue. He begins to feel a deep-seated goodness within, centered between his chest and throat. From the bedroom behind him, through white chiffon curtains in open french doors, float the chords of a Sinatra song -- "All I Need is the Girl." With strange clarity, JFK can suddenly make out every note...
Behind the curtains moves the shadow of a tall woman who is not his wife. She is deeply connected to CIA, and has just dispensed to the President of the United States a dose of LSD. In the next few hours she will be "brainwashing" him, and she will be doing so on the directions of a Harvard psychologist, Dr. Timothy Leary, whose colleagues are all taking CIA money, and who has himself designed a personality test used by CIA....
This, or something very much like this, actually happened. To understand how and why it happened requires cruising back a few years, digging through government documents, reading between the lines of Leary's autobiography, Flashbacks. It's a trip through the secret maze of the American pyschedelic underground, a journey that is its own destination, a mystery that must be solved by the reader's own detective work. What follows are the undisputed facts, the clues.
September 1942: The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), wartime precursor to CIA, begins searching for a drug that will force subjects of interrogation, such as captured Nazi U-boat crews, to reveal secrets. As project director Dr. Stanley Lovell will recall, the idea of a "truth drug" is "considered fantastic by the realists, unethical by the moralists, and downright ludicrous by the physicians." But according to OSS records, Lovell goes ahead and tests "mescaline, various barbiturates, scopolamine, benzedrine, cannabis indica (marijuana), etc." The best results are obtained with the marijuana: "A few minutes after administration, the subject gradually becomes relaxed, and experiences a sensation of well-being... thoughts flow with considerable freedom... conversation becomes animated and accelerated. Inhibitions fall away.... [the drug] makes manifest any strong characteristics of the individual.... Whatever the individual is trying to withhold will be forced to the top of his subconscious mind." To "administer" the pot without a subject's knowing it, OSS scientists dissolve marijuana leaves in acetone, then heat the result into a clear, odorless, viscous liquid -- tetrahydrocannabional acetate -- which can be "injected into any type of food, such as mashed potatoes, butter, salad dressing, or in such things as candy."
May 25, 1943: THC acetate is tested on an unknowing subject, Lower East Side mafioso August "Little Augie" Del Gaizo, who has been helping OSS smuggle agents into Nazi-held Sicily. Little Augie is considered an ideal subject because he has secrets he is "most anxious to conceal, the revelation of which might result in his imprisonment"; in fact, he prides himself on having never informed, and has even "been instrumental in killing some persons who have been informants." But after smoking two proffered cigarettes, laced with a total of .14 grams THC, Little Augie becomes "obviously 'high' and extremely garrulous" as he sits in the apartment of OSS officer George White, a former Treasury agent who had arrested him several times in the past. When White turns the subject to law enforcement, Little Augie "with no further encouragement" divulges the identities of city officials on the take; details of the criminal empire run by Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel; "and other information that subject would not give under ordinary circumstances. There is no question but that administration of the drug was responsible for loosening the subject's tongue." Henceforth, OSS refers to the THC acetate simply as "TD," a cryptonym for "Truth Drug."
1944: OSS uses "TD" in secret operations. Lovell reports that "Certain disclosures of the greatest value are in the possession of our military intelligence as a result of this treatment, which it is felt would otherwise not be known. Properly employed... it may be a national asset of incalculable importance." But OSS officials, fearing political backlash if use of the drug is revealed, shut the program down.
April-May 1945: Jack Kennedy, before entering politics, is working as a reporter for the Hearst newspaper chain. While covering the charter conference of the United Nations at San Francisco, he frequently sees an old flame from Choate, Mary Pinchot Meyer, and her husband, Cord Meyer, Jr., who is an assistant to the American delegation. A young Yale graduate and award-winning literary talent, Cord Meyer was badly wounded by a Japanese hand-grenade on Guam and has a glass eye; when he smokes cigarettes, the smoke slowly drifts up and into his open, nerveless, unblinking left eye, curling around the glass orb. The sight so disconcerts JFK that he finds himself rubbing his own left eye in a kind of sympathetic agony.
September 1946: Timothy Leary begins doctoral studies in psychology at Berkeley.
1947: Dr. Werner Stoll, a researcher at Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, Switzerland, publishes the first scientific articles on LSD-25, an extract of rye mold, noting that it accelerates thinking and blunts suspicion in schizophrenics.
1947-48: As a graduate student in psychology, Leary attends the first two national conventions of the American Veterans Committee (AVC), a left-wing veterans group, as a California state delegation leader. At the second AVC convention, in Milwaukee, Leary meets Cord Meyer, who is then spearheading an anti-communist purge of the organization. Meyer lectures Leary about communism, and the importance of liberal resistance to it. Leary will later credit Meyer with "helping me understand my political-cultural role more clearly."
Late 1950: Cord Meyer joins CIA and begins working in its International Relations Division, of which he is soon put in charge. The express purpose of this division is to covertly finance, infiltrate, and encourage noncommunist liberal-left movements and institutions, such as labor unions, creative-academic societies, and student groups.
April 13, 1953: CIA launches Operation MK/ULTRA, a major drug and mind-control program. Although THC acetate is studied as an interrogation aid, CIA is more concerned about reports of communist brainwashing experiments on American POWs in Korea, and focuses on stronger, hallucinogenic drugs. "Aside from the offensive potential, the development of a comprehensive capability in this field... gives a thorough knowledge of the enemy's theoretical potential, thus enabling us to defend ourselves against a foe who might not be as restrained in the use of these techniques as we are." Some CIA employees, including perhaps Meyer, volunteer for experiments. Through a front organization called The Society For Human Ecology, CIA begins sponsoring $25 million in research into the effects of mind-altering drugs -- LSD, psilocybin and mescaline -- at Harvard University and at several cites in the San Francisco-Oakland area, including Stanford and Berkeley.
1954-59: Leary is director of clinical research and psychology at the Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Oakland. He devises a personality test, "The Leary," which is used by CIA to test prospective employees. He has also become a close friend to Frank Barron, a graduate school classmate who has ben working for CIA since at least 1953. Barron works at the Berkeley Institute for Personality Assessment and Research, which Leary will later acknowledge is "funded and staffed by OSS-CIA psychologists."
1960-61: Barron founds the Harvard Pyschedelic Drug Research Center. Leary follows Barron to Harvard and becomes a lecturer in psychology. After Barron administers to him some CIA-supplied psilocybin and LSD, Leary begins tripping regularly. He also studies the effects of psycheledics on others in controlled experiments. He later admits to knowing, at the time, that "some powerful people in Washington have sponsored all this drug research." In addition to Barron, Leary's associates and assistants during this period include former OSS chief pyschologist Harry Murray, who had montiored military experiments on Truth-Drug brainwashing and interrogation, and Martin Orne, a researcher receiving funds from CIA. Leary also consults British philosopher Aldous Huxley, author of the psychedelic manifesto, The Doors of Perception (from which Jim Morrision would later take name his band). Huxley, who is at Harvard on a visiting professorship, urges Leary to form a secret order of LSD-Illuminati, to launch and lead a psychedelic conspiracy to brainwash influential people for the purposes human betterment. "That's how everything of culture and beauty and philosophic freedom has been passed on," Huxley tells him. "Initiate artists, writers, poets, jazz musicians, elegant courtesans. And they'll educate the intelligent rich."
Spring 1962: Mary Meyer, recently divorced from her CIA husband, visits Leary at Harvard. She leans against the door post, hip tilted provocatively, studying him with green-blue eyes. Leary will later recall here as "amused, arrogant, aristocratic." She tells him she has a "friend who's a very important man, who wants to try LSD for himself." At the time, though Leary does not know this, Mary is having an affair with President Kennedy, which will include more than thirty visits to the White House (later confirmed by Presidential Secretary Kenneth O'Donnell). Mary tells Leary that the government is studying ways to "use drugs for warfare, for espionage, for brainwashing." She asks him to "teach us how to run [LSD] sessions, use drugs to do good." Leary agrees. He provides her with drug samples and "session" reports, and is in touch with her every few weeks, advising her on how to be a "brainwasher." She swears him to secrecy.
Late July, 1962: While the First Lady is away at the Kennedy summer home in Hyannisport, Mary calls on JFK at the White House. She records the visit in her diary, and later describes it to her close friend James Truitt of the Washington Post. She and the President of the United States smoke two joints of marijuana, reportedly prompting the leader of the free world to say, "This isn't at all like cocaine. I'll get you some of that." Once he is suitably "loosened up" -- Leary has emphasized the need to put subjects in a "benevolent state" before turning them on -- Mary dispenses to Jack a dose of LSD. As it starts to "kick in," he goes out and stands on Harry Truman's balcony overlooking the rose-garden fountain, a soothing sight before him....
Fall 1962: Leary meets Mary Meyer in a room at Boston's Ritz Hotel. She alludes to her "hush-hush love affair," and tells him that "top people in Washington are turning on." According to Leary's recounting, she also says: "Do you remember the American Veterans Committee, that liberal veterans group you belonged to after the war? The CIA started that." She explains to him that "CIA creates the radical journals and student organizations and runs them with deep-cover agents.... dissident organizations in academia are also controlled." When Leary asks her how she knows all this, she explains: "I knocked you with those facts to get your attention. It's a standard intelligence trick." She confides that CIA has not only been running left-wing groups as fronts, but has been sponsoring more psychedelic research than he will ever know. "You are doing exploratory work the CIA tried to do in the 1950s. So they're more than happy to have you do their research for them. Since drug research is of vital importance to the intelligence agencies of this country, you'll be allowed to go on with your experiments as long as you keep it quiet," she advises.
Spring 1963: Leary again meets Mary Meyer at the Ritz. She says that her love affair has been exposed, although no publicity has resulted. "I don't trust the phones or the mail," she warns. He is to make no contact with her until further notice. May-June 1963: Mary warns Leary, who is conducting a psychedelic summer camp in Mexico, that their "sessions" are "in jeopardy" because he is attracting "too much publicity."
September 1963: Mary drives up to see Leary, now conducting experiments at a large private estate in Milbrook, New York. She gives him, for his experiments, a bottle of "the best LSD in the world," from the National Institute of Mental Health. She takes countersurveillance precautions, and says: "We had eight intelligent women turning on the most powerful men in Washington. And then we got found out.... I made a mistake in recruitment. A wife snitched on us... I've gotten mixed up in some dangerous matters."
December 1, 1963: Around this time Mary calls Leary, who had been "expecting a phone call from [her]... ever since the Kennedy assassination." According to Leary, she says: "They couldn't control him anymore. He was changing too fast. They've covered everything up.... I'm afraid. Be careful."
October 12, 1964: Mary Meyer is shot to death, execution-style, at 12:45 p.m., on a park towpath by the Georgetown Canal in Washington, D.C. Her body is identified by Ben Bradlee, Cord Meyer's brother-in-law, editor of the Washington Post. CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton confiscates and later burns the diary in which Mary has recorded her liaisons with JFK. A black laborer with a wife and five children, 26-year old Raymond Crump, Jr., is arrested on suspicion of murdering Mary in a robbery attempt, but she had not been carrying a purse, and there is no credible eyewitness testimony placing Crump at the site.
July 20, 1965. A jury deliberates only eleven hours before acquitting Crump in Mary Meyer's death. The murder weapon is never found; the crime is never solved.
1965-66: FBI agents openly surveil Leary's drug experimentation compound at Milbrook. Leary, intimidated, considers relocating to Mexico. For jurisdictional reasons, the Bureau turns the case over to former FBI agent G. Gordon Liddy, now a county prosecutor, who later says: "The word was that at Leary's lair the panties were dropping as fast as the acid." Liddy leads a raid by sheriffs in March 1966. Leary is charged with possession of illegal drugs, but the case is dropped on technicalities after the Supreme Court's Miranda decision in June. This series of events imprints on Leary a deep distrust of the FBI and of "cops" generally.
January-August 1967: Ramparts, a radical magazine, exposes CIA sponsorship of the National Student Association, a Cord Meyer project. Meyer's best friend, James Angleton, assigns CIA officer Richard Ober to begin a leak investigation into the Ramparts story. Ober's probe is soon expanded into a spy program on the countercultural and student-protests movements, code named CHAOS.]
September 1967: Just as CHAOS is launched, Leary moves from the isolation of upstate New York, where he has been philosophically contemplating the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and becomes a gregarious, media-hounding fixture of the Southern California countercultural scene, telling young people to "Tune in, Turn On, Drop Out."
]
1968: While other New-Left leaders preach violent overthrow of the U.S. Government and creation of a Marxist dictatorship, Leary urges instead a nonviolent, drug-oriented "hippie capitalism," an artsy-craftsy, decentralized, libertarian sort of entrepeneurship that will also soon find its expression in the culture of the Grateful Dead. While Leary's position does constitute a rejection of the corporate world, it also embraces private property and the profit motive. Because of this, the Marxist Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) denounces Leary and his noncommunist followers for "limiting the revolution." The Progressive Labor Party (PLP), a Maoist "Old Left" group, goes so far as to claim that Leary is a CIA agent. But the PLP is accusing everyone it disgarees with of being CIA.
1969: Leary critics will eventually point with suspicion to his close connections during this time to an international LSD-smuggling cartel, the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, which is rumored to be a CIA front. The Brotherhood is controlled by Ronald Stark, whom an Italian High Court will later conclude has been a CIA agent since 1960, and the Brotherhood's funds are channeled through Castle Bank in the Bahamas, a known CIA "proprietary." For two years Leary lives at Brotherhood headquarters, located on a ranch in Laguna Beach. During this period, the Brotherhood corners the U.S. market on LSD and begins distributing only one variety of the drug, "Orange Sunshine." Stark says he plans to distribute the product to CIA-backed guerillas fighting Chinese occupation; he reportedly knows a high-placed Tibetan close to the Dalai Lama, and wants to provide enough LSD to dose all Chinese troops in Tibet. In the U.S., meanwhile, Stark provides enough Orange Sunshine to dose the hippie culture and radical left many times over. This is the "bad acid" on which Charles Manson's followers murder Sharon Tate, and on which Hell's Angels stab to death a black man during a concert by the Rolling Stones. The Summer of Love has been supplanted by a Season of Hate. Because of this, many countercultural insiders -- including William S. Burroughs, White Panther leader John Sinclair, and Merry Prankster Ken Kesey -- will eventually entertain the theory that Stark, Leary, and Orange Sunshine are all part of CIA plot to discredit and neutralize the radical left. According to former radicals Martin Lee and Bruce Shalin, widespread use of Orange Sunshine "contributed significantly to the demise of the New Left, for it heightened the metabolism of the body politic and accelerated all the changes going on... In its hyped-up condition, the New Left burned itself out."
Fall 1969: According to declassified government documents, CIA now has a CHAOS agent with "particularly good entree into the highest levels of the domestic radical community," who is providing "extremely personal data." It is decided to send this agent to infiltrate the overseas headquarters of the Black Panthers, but this will not be accomplished for many months. In the meantime, CIA will debrief him for purely domestic information about his associates, in part because he does not "wish to deal with the FBI." This description perfectly fits Leary. No one has better "entree" than Leary, who has recently been helicoptered in as the guest of honor at Woodstock. Few have more "personal" data on radical figures than the man who is personally turning them on. The overall pattern of Leary's career, his continual links to people who are linked to CIA, is certainly suggestive. So is the fact that, like CIA's "star agent," his willingness to mix with CIA-types does not extend to the FBI, which Leary has disliked since Liddy's raid on Milbrook.
1970: In February, Leary is convicted of marijuana possession and jailed at Lompoc, California. This seems clear evidence that he is not, after all, a CIA asset or government informant. Yet CIA has at times employed agents or infomrants who are later prosecuted for activities unrelated to their government work. For instance, Johnny Rosselli, and other Mafiosi hired by CIA to assassinate Fidel Castro in the early 1960s, are eventually taken down by the FBI, though over CIA protest. If then, Leary is working for CIA, this may complicate, but ultimately not preclude, his prosecution for other "crimes." In any case, Leary is not exactly chained to the wall in a dark cellar. Lompoc is a minimum-security, white-collar "joint," the plushest in the United States, and Leary is still able to get acid. His movements, moreoover, soon keep him in a position to provide valuable intelligence to the U.S. government.
September 12, 1970: Leary is "liberated" from Lompoc by members of the Weather Underground, an SDS offshoot named after Bob Dylan's lyric, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." The Weathermen have launched a Marxist guerilla struggle in the United States, and Leary pledges his solidarity in a a "POW Statement." It reads, in part: "Listen Americans! Your government is an instrument of totally lethal evil. Resist actively, sabotage, jam the computer... hijack planes, trash every lethal machine in the land.... To shoot a genocidal robot policeman in the defense of life is a sacred act.... Total war is upon us.... WARNING: I am armed and should be considered dangerous!" This especially provocative and hyperbolic communique has two main effects. It re-establishes Leary's bona fides in the radical underground, and it turns American opinion farther against the New Left.
October 1970: According to Angleton's deputy, Scott Miler, CIA is at this time trying quite hard to the answer the question: "What was Eldridge Cleaver doing in Algeria?" As it happens, Leary now flies to Algiers and joins up with Black Panther Party leader Eldridge Cleaver. Leary's travels, and the operation to spring him from jail, have been financed by Stark and the Brotherhood.
October 21, 1970: A CIA memo records that its prized CHAOS source -- Leary? -- is now overseas.
November 1970 -- May 1971: Cleaver grows suspicious of Leary, searches Leary's apartment "for documents proving that we [Leary and his wife] were CIA operatives," and imprisons him in the Panthers' Algerian compound as "white slaves."
February 12, 1971: A CIA document reports that "Eldridge Cleaver and his Algiers contingent have apparently become disenchanted with the antics of Tim Leary.... Electing to call their action protective custody, Cleaver and company, on their own authority, have put Tim and Rosemary under house arrest." Since Leary's condition is not publicly known, this report can only have come from penetration of Cleaver's entourage. Unless CIA has recruited black militants -- a sociologically unlikely scenario -- the information has most probably come from electronic surveillance on the Panther compound, or from secret communications by Leary or his wife. May 1971: Leary and his wife escape to Switzerland with the assistance, according to Leary, of an "Algerian bureaucrat named Ali," who "made no bones about his connection to the CIA." "Are you sure you can trust him?" Leary's wife asks him. "He's liberal CIA," Leary says, "and that's the best mafia you can deal with in the twentieth century." The escape operation is financed by the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, though checks drawn on CIA's Castle Bank.
June 18-19, 1972: G. Gordon Liddy, now working for Republicans' Campaign to Re-Elect the President (CREEP), oversees a break-in of the Democratic National Committe at Watergate. The burglars are caught and Liddy is arrested. The next day, top CIA officials meet secretly to discuss the burglary, in which Liddy has used some ex-CIA agents working for ex-CIA officer Howard Hunt at the White House. CIA director Richard Helms orders his deputies to carry out a "damage control" strategy, to deflect suspicion away from the Agency and toward the President's Men. This is exactly what is accomplished by Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward's key "intelligence community" source in the case, Deep Throat, who begins providing tips to Woodward this very day, a few hours after CIA's damage control meeting. The coincidence of timing suggests that Throat is someone who is at the CIA conference and who has close connections to the Post. Cord Meyer, now #2 man in CIA's Operations Directorate, is at the meeting, and is still close with his in-law Bradlee, the Post's editor. He also fits perfectly the many clues Woodward later drops as to Throat's identity, including chain smoking, a knowledge of literature (Meyer was an award-winning fiction writer before joining CIA) and a battle-scarred face (Meyer had a glass eye).
1973-78: After two years of "jet-setting" in Switzerland, Leary returns to the U.S. By his own account, this has occured through the machinations of CIA; Leary says they have "kidnapped" him. He is convicted on drug charges, and begins doing hard time at Folsom Prison. This seems clear evidence, again, that suspicions about his ultimate loyalties are merely left-wing paranoia. But after a few months out of public view, Leary comes into the open as a government informant. Under the code-name CHARLIE THRUSH, he turns State's evidence against the Weather Underground. Freed from prison, he is taken into custody for fear that radical revolutionaries have marked him for execution. His former colleagues in the movement form a group calling itself People Investigating Leary's Lies (PILL). Abbie Hoffmann declares that "Timothy Leary is a name worse than Benedict Arnold." Allen Ginsburg says that Leary is "like Zabbath Zvi, false Messiah, accepted by millions of Jews centuries ago."
1978-93: After his last offical contacts with security agencies, in 1978, Leary distances himself both from the government and the "movement" that no longer really exists. Out in the cold, he becomes a sophist in the true sense, a wise-man for rent or hire. Early in the Reagan years he "debates" G. Gordon Liddy, the Watergate burglar who once busted him at Milbrook, on a nationwide tour. Former sixties radicals disgustedly describe the event as "bogus," and say it is proof that Leary is "in with the fuzz." At the very least, Leary seems to the Left a lightweight, a one-man Madison Avenue scam, a functional part of the Establishment he once swore to subvert. He hangs out at Helena's, the trendy restaurant in which Jack Nicholson has an interest, and he occasionally philosophizes for a fee at Carlos and Charlie's, a local restaurant that also headlines Joan Rivers. He defends his New Style by saying, quite earnestly: "If Aristotle were alive today, he'd have a talk show." He also publishes Flashbacks: An Autobiography, recounting obliquely his dealings with Cord and Mary Meyer and his work as a government informant, touching only in passing on CIA's funding of LSD resarch. He designs computer software and hails the coming of the Information Superhighway. Though lacking family wealth, or any gainful employment since 1962, he has nevertheless managed to become a rich man. He lives in Benedict Canyon, only a doors away from the house where Manson's followers, and Orange Sunshine, did their worst. From his yard he can survey the whole City of Light, and he likes the symbolism of that.
April 14, 1994:
Leary, aged 73, visits Gainesville, Florida. He has come to present a multi-media lecture demonstration of electronic mind expansion, "How To Operate Your Brain." Three thousand people sit down to see him. He wears white Adidas, black polyester pants, and a psychedelic vest with a '93 Lollapalooza Guest Pass stuck on it.
In his warm-up remarks, he describes looking out the window of his plane on the way in, and comments that "the clouds in Gainseville have been constructed by George Lucas." He complains that it's hard to buy marijuana anymore, and says that pot causes short-term memory loss, but also "long-term memory gain." He says he will be trying to "brainwash" the audience, "not to resist or fight authority, but to engage it in a dialogue to force progressive change."
The lights go down, and some electronic funk comes on. Leary serves as narrator-guide while colors and words flicker and flash on a screen. He quotes Socrates and Ralph Waldo Emerson. People should think for themselves and question authority. Also, "Divinity resides within."
After the lights come on, Leary opens the gig up for questions -- but only after warning us, "You're not supposed to believe anything I say." People start queueing up for questions at two microphones, and I'm about fifth in line at one of them. I'm planning to ask him about his rumored connections to CIA. Most of the "questions" before mine are pretty uncool. A lot are from NORML activists: "If you wanna come over to my place afterward..." Then some crazy-eyed man says, "The state of Florida is shaped like a gun, and Gainesveille is the trigger -- look at a map. Anyway, I'm a schizophrenic and I think I'm Jesus Christ. So Dr. Leary, am I Jesus Christ?" He is serious. Leary dispenses with him by saying, "Just don't get yourself crucified."
Finally it's my turn. I step up to the mike. Leary looks at me, looks at his watch. "Sorry, no more time for questions." A fist-faced steroidal security guard gets between me and the mike. Leary disappears behind the curtain.
As fans mill about afterward, I hear there's some kind of VIP reception for Leary in a side-room, guarded by more fat-necks in blue blazers. I scam my way in: My girlfriend is a professor at the Univeristy, and she talks to some guy who talks to some guy. The side room is one of those harshly lit holding tanks, like where a record company's PR girl puts you when she doesn't know you're "with the band." People nibble nervously on peanut-butter cookies until Leary enters. There's an initial crush forward, but then everyone sort of hestitates, afraid to get too close to "the man," unsure what to say. He sits down at the far side of the room. What the hell, I go for mine -- I sit down right next to him.
He inscribes to me a copy of FLASHBACKS. I notice that his hands are weird in the way old people's hands are, with these corroding purple spots. He seems tired and distracted, so I try the standard espionage trick: Knock him with some facts to get his attention. "You know, my stepmother used to work for Cord Meyer." Which is true; she was for some years a secretary at CIA.
Leary's reaction is physical: He jerks, as if jolted by some alternating current for which he has no adapter. His eyes are bright with memory. "Cord Meyer was a pretty intense guy," he says, smiling. I ask a couple other questions, tacking around. Then I put it to Leary like this. "You say in your book that a lot of the LSD experiments at Harvard and Berkeley were, like, paid for by CIA. So I was wondering -- I mean, what were your connections with the Agency?"
Suddenly he seems tight and defensive, finds the adapter and plugs it in. "They never gave me a dime," he says.
I look into his eyes, the way you do when you try to tell if someone is lying. I don't see deception, exactly; only pain. He doesn't say anything to me after this, so I awkwardly say goodbye and leave.
Driving home, in the dark, I feel some journalistic guilt for having bothered this good-hearted sage, whose views on life are mostly right. Maybe he has actually told me the truth. The pain in his eyes was probably injured innocence, the kind I'd feel if I'd done a great life's work and some punk kid asked me, at the end of it, if I'd been funded all along by the KGB. On the other hand, if he did collaborate with CIA, he'd hardly be at liberty to say so, would he? Might he not also feel just a bit guilty; thus the pain? And if the Agency never gave him any money, how did they get the rights to use the personality test that bears his name?
I come to a red light. Flashing in my mind is a subliminal message from Leary's "brainwashing" session: "Think for yourself -- question authority." And then I remember his warning to us, before the question & answer period: "You're not supposed to believe anything I say."
INT. CYBERSPACE -- GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA -- DAY
An impossible transition is required here. Questions hang, uanswered, like bats on the ceiling of a cave. Was Timothy Leary CIA, or what? What was Mary Meyer trying to "brainwash" JFK to do, and why did both die such untimely, mysterious deaths? Was Orange Sunshine really part of a government-orchstrated plot? Is Leary's Online Tip a new way to free the mind, or merely the final phase of his one-man plot to hijack the history of the world?
Damn if I know. The secret world of intelligence and espionage has been called a "wilderness of mirrors," and rightly. You can spend a lot of time saying, "On the one hand.... On the other hand," especially if you are on Truth Drug....

| Цитата: | The CIA Created the Drug Culture
In the 1950's, the CIA experimented with LSD for use in interrogation and as a weapon.
In the 1960's they used this weapon to divert idealistic Americans from the path of social responsibility to one of introspection and self-gratification, i.e. "spiritual liberation."
They neutralized my generation by turning social activists into "flower children" advocating "peace and love."
The mantra of the age was "Tune in, Turn on and Drop Out". The prophet was psychologist, Dr. Timothy Leary (1920-1996).
Was Leary working for the CIA?
Writer Mark Reibling put this question to the aged guru in 1994 after a speech in Gainesville Florida.
"They never gave me a dime," Leary replied with a pained expression, and then avoided his questioner.
If not a CIA agent, Reibling makes a convincing case that Leary was their dupe. The CIA promotes people who believe in a cause but are unaware they are advancing the New World Order agenda.
Like most intelligence agencies, the CIA does not represent national interests. It was created by British intelligence and serves the London-based central bankers.
The CIA said they sponsored radicals, liberals and leftists as "an alternative to Communism." This is not true. They did it to introduce a different style of Communism.
Behind the rhetorical facade, Communism is monopoly capitalism, controlled by the bankers and administered by the state.
Funds and drugs for Leary's research came from the CIA. In his autobiography, "Flashbacks" (1983), Leary credits Cord Meyer, the CIA executive in charge of funding the lib-left and counter culture with "helping me to understand my political cultural role more clearly."
Elsewhere he says the "Liberal CIA" is the "best mafia you can deal with in the Twentieth Century." (These references are from Reibling's groundbreaking must-read article: "Was Leary a CIA agent?" ) Leary clearly was working for the CIA but thought he was working for himself.
Like Leary we are all dupes.
A GENERATION OF MARIONETTES
When I was a child I used to lie in bed at night and read TIME and NEWSWEEK from cover to cover. At the age of 12, I helped organize marches for world hunger relief. At 14, the marches were for Negro Civil Rights.
In 1964, while still concerned with the American Negro, I noticed that I was dancing alone. The party had moved to another room. Vietnam was now the cause celebre. It was as if someone (i.e. the CIA-controlled media) had mysteriously blown a whistle.
I participated in a rising crescendo of anti-war activity. In 1968, after the gut-wrenching assassinations of King and Robert Kennedy, LBJ's decision not to seek reelection (his CFR handlers told him to go) and the clubbing of protesters at the Democratic Convention in Chicago deflated the anti-war movement.
Then, acting as one like a flock of geese, my generation gave up on social change, became "alienated" and "turned inward." Maybe we needed to change ourselves, we reasoned, before we can change the world. Thanks to the CIA, drugs were plentiful and Leary's mantra was echoed in the mass media.
Although it was another ten years before I tried marijuana, I experienced the "Summer of Love" hitchhiking across Canada in 1967. Maybe it was time to "hang loose" and focus on personal things. The 1970's became the "Me Decade."
The protest years weren't a complete waste. Before getting into bed, my first lover made me recount the history of the Vietnam War in detail to make sure I "was serious."
My sister and brother-in-law turned me on to marijuana on my 26th birthday. I saw myself as a choo-choo train ascending a steep grade billowing black smoke. My life was a strain. Marijuana was a revelation. It helped me get "out of myself." I took up yoga.
Although I have never experienced LSD, I embraced the utopian vision of Timothy Leary and Aldous Huxley. With considerable justification, they believed that "mind expanding" drugs could provide a genuine visionary experience and release mankind's spiritual potential. In experiments, theology students had life changing revelations; alcoholics were cured. For millennia, many cultures have used drugs to promote spirituality.
In Mexico, Leary took magic mushrooms. The experience convinced him the normal mind was "a static repetitive circuit."
"It was above all and without question the deepest religious experience of my life. I discovered that beauty, revelation, sensuality, the cellular history of the past, God, the devil, all lie inside my body, outside my mind."
This LSD-fueled vision of utopia was put into practice at the highest levels of the US government. In 1963, Cord Meyer's estranged wife Mary Pinchot Meyers was having an affair with President John F. Kennedy who had embraced LSD. Mary approached Leary for supplies and advice. She and her friends were turning on "some of the most powerful men in Washington."
In Dec. 1963, Meyer called Leary and said they killed JFK because "they couldn't control him anymore. He was changing too fast. They've covered everything up. I'm afraid. Be careful." In Oct. 1964, she was murdered.
MY WEEKEND WITH TIMOTHY LEARY
I had a serious case of hero worship when I visited Timothy Leary around 1990. I had contacted him through his publisher and he phoned me. I wanted to meet the guru to see if the utopian vision he represented was still alive.
I was disillusioned. By this time Leary was fixated on the benefits of the "information superhighway." His pantry table was crammed with bottles of alcohol. He told me his "vision of God" was depicted in the last scene in William Gibson's book "Neuromancer."
"At the end of the world, all the information stored in all the computers will rise up into Cyberspace and mingle together." he said. "That's God."
Wonderful, I thought. All those airline reservations mingling together.
At lunch, I tried to remind him of his original vision: using drugs to awaken our spiritual potential and become more God-like in behavior.
"What do you think God is?" he scoffed. "An old man with a beard?"
Prophets sometimes lose their vision. I think this is what happened with Leary.
But he was very generous with his time and hospitality. He was a genuine idealist.
I ferried him around Los Angeles in my rented car. He was appearing in a music video made by an obscure band. He was to earn $300. He lived in a nice house but he was not rich. I took him to see his daughter by his first marriage. She lived in public housing in the valley.
CONCLUSION
The effects of marijuana and LSD vary wildly. Depending on the individual, the setting and quality, people can have positive or negative results. Similarly the drug culture has been a mixed bag. It has given millions the opportunity to escape the suffocating box of modern materialism and discover their spiritual birthright. It has been a gateway to religion. In my case, it confirmed Christ's message that God is Love.
But too many have given up on protest and social change. They feel that "fighting the darkness" just "brings me down."
For me, detachment from the world was a limbo in which I drifted for years. I now believe in the Path of Service. We gain meaning by doing our Creator's work. We become human beings by becoming God's agent in matters large and small.
Our world-view and concerns are totally manipulated by the London-based Masonic bankers through the CIA, mass media and public education. For example, the Iraq War hasn't aroused a protest similar to Vietnam. Why? The answer lies in the treatment in the mass media. The bankers want Iraq to succeed; they wanted Vietnam to fail.
We are marionettes. The environment, fe-manism, diversity, you name it. The bankers are pulling our strings. In the case of the drug culture, they made us self absorbed and quiescent. They didn't expect many of us to find God.
It's time to rediscover social responsibility and uphold the Divine Order against the satanic New World Order.

Note: A reader has drawn my attention to an interview in the book "Mass Control" by Jim Keith where Leary admits to being a "wittting accomplice" of the CIA.
