That’s an escape. And there’s the other part: it’s really not that hard to make. Very easy chemistry and lots and lots of the people involved figured that out and spread the knowledge around. Heck I knew guys that could make, the hardest part back in the 80s was either getting or making a good centrifuge. Other than that it’s just a few easily acquired chemicals in the right proportion.
Yes it puts someone into a semi-hypnotic state, open to suggestion. Remember the only real difference between therapy and brainwashing is intent. So anything that’s good a therapeutic, which LSD is, is also good for brainwashing.
“Very easy chemistry”. Please, tell me what it is.
It was purposeful, make no mistake. They wanted to dose Americans with one of the, if not the most powerful drugs ever invented.
The spook agencies were up to their eyeballs in the “Anti War” movement, the “Hippies” and the “Counterculture”. Grass roots movements are re-purposed, that’s job one. No generation has been f&@$cked with more than the “Boomers”.
It was an extremely large cohort, dwarfing everything before and after.
Psychodelic drugs, coupled with relentless propaganda, music, media. This is no fevered conspiracy theory or hypothesis, they said this is what they were going to do going way back. Aldous Huxley had a brother named Julian, who described it fairly extensively.
He (Aldous) died on the same day as JFK (and CS Lewis); he had his wife inject with 100 mikes of LSD right as he died. The Frankfurt School of Social Research brought much of the agitation to Academia by the 1960s. “Make Love Not War” was coined by Herbert Marcuse.
Time-Life was headed by Henry Luce - another acid head from the early 1950s. At first the “Elites” thought the stuff was much too good to let the riff-raff and rabble partake in.
The spooks knew otherwise, I expect.
