LSD...The CRACK EPIDEMIC...HEROIN...the FENTANYL CRISIS ... The Synthetic Opiod Crisis ..... all more than likely ORCHESTRATED

Toni Shanti's avatar

Fentanyl was definitely orchestrated by the government.

It's all orchestrated by the government. The Feds started pushing heroin in NYC and caused the first epidemic in 1910. The first American opium epidemic was after the civil war, when vets turned to it, many of them amputees. No one but the Federal agents of the Bank of England (CIA & FBI) could have switched the entire country from China white heroin to fentanyl within a few months. It was always them. They push drugs for profit and to criminalize the population and make law and order more expensive. They own the federal and municipal corporations that grind us down through taxation and licensing, policing and jailing. God damn the pusher.

Fantastic piece. So many defenders of Leary simply don’t want to hear that their so called subversive counter culture was nothing more than a well oiled CIA op.

Just like all your favorite music and actors

Even as a punk rocker back in the day, I told fellow punkers that we would live to see our favorite punk anthems selling products and services in corporate adds..

So I have been painfully aware of all of it for a long time.

I guess if your favorite band is Greenwday or earlier like Ramones. Ect but theres still a lot of punk that hasn't sold out like propaghandi and pennywise and many many more but also mate I have to tell you something that might have been missed with some artist.. there are many that never copywrited their music because they were truly non capitalistic in that way. Many of their music today and over the years have been used for commercial jingles and such (in which we back in the day would have seen as an auto-sellout move but that happened because they made their music free to use from the start) just something to be aware of that I just found out

Not surprised, Ngl but I appreciate tying up in a concise readable post

Peace and love for the naive; sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll for the would-be cool.

Just as this Administration is looking into further research and access to psychedelic therapies. If we're all high, we won't care about Zionist Israel taking over the U.S. or that our tax dollars are supporting genocide and misery around the globe. It would be great, however, if psychedelics could be used to help combat opiate addiction. I've seen research regarding this and it looks promising. If only our government actually cared.

Yeah, but, this government doesn't even want us to have gummies.

The practice is as old as time, predating all religions....

As is with everything, weaponized by the CIA and Havard......the usual suspects from 5G to dna tampering to war.

The upshot was some great music and art, and a few rebelious souls that could come back! 😂.

An era that no longer can exist in a world built on conformity and marxist creeping social normal enforcement.

The church condemns because it bypassed the Pope to "enlightenment".....

Don't do drugs.

But for those that did,

fond memories and freindships were gained, and a peaceful life was achieved, for a brief few moments of the 20th century.

Not all bad. ..

Cheers,

Mick

The CIA tortured me

with rock & roll and LSD.

But it turns out

as they knew it would

That I don't hate it

as much as I should.

I always thought Leary was a joke. Terrance McKenna was more insightful and educational. (He was friends with Sagan, that might have helped too)

MNT's avatar

Well at least they used themselves as guinea pigs I guess.

A cohort of Leary was one of my psych professors. A brilliant guy. Alcoholic and porn addict. Forner chemistry professor. Died young.

Very "strange" character, but up front about his flaws and challenges. Probably the best read person I have met, and he remembered everything he read and could cite it without preparation.

He used to warn students about "The System", so I doubt he was involved with the CIA when I knew him. He was definitely against what it was doing.

People used to think he had made himself "crazy" with his experiments with Leary. However, I suspect he just knew too much and had lost control of himself to his addictions. (Pretty expected MK-Ultra outcome tbh)

Awesome work on this BBB!

Just imagine all the progress in this covert field of study. None of us are who we thought we were. We have been created and recreated and recreated again and again without the knowledge of a vast majority of Americans. We were and are experimental subjects. They tell us that’s the price to be paid to defend a nation. But it’s definitely not a defense. It’s offense.
