I have posted Part VIII -- The Aquarian Conspiracy of Dope, Inc. about Huxley role in promoting drugs and creating the counterculture of the 60s. Probably everybody's sacred cow has been gored

A few of the points made --

The Stanford Research Institute prepared a May 1974 policy study on how to transform the United States into Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, a counterculture created as a method of social control, used to drain the US of its commitment to scientific and technological progress.

Aldous Huxley, along with his brother Julian, was tutored at Oxford by H.G. Wells, the head of British foreign intelligence during World War I.

Wells called his open conspiracy a "one-world brain" which would function as "a police of the mind."

Huxley was sent to the US in 1937. He and other became a scriptwriters for MGM, Warner Brothers, and Walt Disney Studios.

Huxley recruited Gregory Bateson, an anthropologist with the OSS, who became the director of a hallucinogenic drug experimental clinic at the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Hospital.

Huxley founded a nest of Isis cults in southern California and in San Francisco.

Today's mass culture operates like the opium trade: The supply determines the demand. The product you consume is preselected for you.

Russell's "pacifism" was always relative means to his most cherished end, one-world government on the imperial model, that would curb the nation-state and its persistent tendency toward republicanism and technological progress.

preparation for the post-industrial society

The Princeton Radio Research Project, as stated in Adorno's Introduction to the Sociology of Music was to program a mass "musical" culture that would steadily degrade consumers.

MK-Ultra was part of the operation.

Have you ever smoked pot or done any psychedelic drugs? For many people, it is a sacred spiritual experience, particularly the latter...

Sacred spiritual experience is a good sales pitch.

Part One: The Roots of Psychedelia

1 In The Beginning There Was Madness …

The Truth Seekers

In the spring of 1942 General William "Wild Bill" Donovan, chief of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the ClA's wartime predecessor, assembled a half-dozen prestigious American scientists and asked them to undertake a top-secret research program. Their mission, Donovan explained, was to develop a speech-inducing drug for use in intelligence interrogations. He insisted that the need for such a weapon was so acute as to warrant any and every attempt to find it.

The use of drugs by secret agents had long been a part of cloak-and-dagger folklore, but this would be the first concerted attempt on the part of an American espionage organization to modify human behavior through chemical means. "We were not afraid to try things that had never been done before," asserted Donovan, who was known for his freewheeling and unconventional approach to the spy trade. The OSS chief pressed his associates to come up with a substance that could break down the psychological defenses of enemy spies and POWs, thereby causing an uninhibited disclosure of classified information. Such a drug would also be useful for screening OSS personnel in order to identify German sympathizers, double agents, and potential misfits.

Dr. Windfred Overhulser, superintendent of Saint Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, DC, was appointed chairman of the research committee. Other members included Dr. Edward Strecker, then president of the American Psychiatric Association, and Harry J. Anslinger, head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. The committee surveyed and rejected numerous drugs, including alcohol, barbiturates, and caffeine. Peyote and scopolamine were also tested, but the visions produced by these substances interfered with the interrogation process. Eventually marijuana was chosen as the most likely candidate for a speech-inducing agent.

OSS scientists created a highly potent extract of cannabis, and through a process known as esterification a clear and viscous liquid was obtained. The final product had no color, odor, or taste. It would be nearly impossible to detect when administered surreptitiously, which is exactly what the spies intended to do. "There is no reason to believe that any other nation or group is familiar with the preparation of this particular drug," stated a once classified OSS document. Henceforth the OSS referred to the marijuana extract as "TD" — a rather transparent cover for "Truth Drug."

Various ways of administering TD were tried on witting and unwitting subjects. OSS operatives found that the medicated goo could "be injected into any type of food, such as mashed potatoes, butter, salad dressing, or in such things as candy." Another scheme relied on using facial tissues impregnated with the drug. But these methods had their drawbacks. What if someone had a particularly ravenous appetite? Too much TD could knock a subject out and render him useless for interrogation. The OSS eventually determined that the best approach involved the use of a hypodermic syringe to inject a diluted TD solution into a cigarette or cigar. After smoking such an item, the subject would get suitably stoned, at which point a skillful interrogator would move in and try to get him to spill the beans.

Part 2: Psychedelic Pioneers

Points discussed

Captain Alfred M. Hubbard (OSS), "Cappy", "Johnny Appleseed of LSD", "Captain Trips". The blustery, rum-drinking Hubbard is widely credited with being the first person to emphasize LSD's potential as a visionary or transcendental drug.

it was impossible for an LSD researcher not to rub shoulders with the espionage establishment, for the CIA was monitoring the entire scene.

Osmond's reports also caught the eye of Aldous Huxley, the eminent British novelist who for years had been preoccupied with the specter of drug-induced thought control. ... [H]e decided to offer himself as a guinea pig.

In May 1953, less than a month after the CIA initiated Operation MK-ULTRA, Huxley tried mescaline for the first time at his home in Hollywood Hills, California, under Osmond's supervision.

Hubbard's converts included the Reverend J. E. Brown, a Catholic priest at the Cathedral of the Holy Rosary in Vancouver.

Originally researchers viewed LSD solely in terms of its ability to create an experimental toxic psychosis.

Huxley and Osmond coined the word psychedelic to argue that hallucinogenic drugs did "much more" than mimic psychosis, and ... name must "include concepts of enriching the mind and enlarging the vision."

The CIA was not interested in the therapeutic applications of LSD ... the powerful ego-shattering effects of LSD were ideally suited for [breaking people]. CIA and military interrogators proceeded to utilize the drug as an instrument of psychological torture.

Gregory Bateson turned Allan Ginsburg onto LSD.

Psychosis or Gnosis?

Formerly a member of the Research and Analysis Branch of the OSS, Bateson was the husband and co-worker of anthropologist Margaret Mead. An exceptional intellect, he was turned on to acid by Dr. Harold Abramson, one of the CIA's chief LSD specialists.

I guess the Cabal didn't like people freeing their minds...

The Cabal created and promoted this. The MK-ULTRA program came from the British Tavistock Institute.

I take Acid Dreams as an attempt to put as good a face as possible on the CIA drug activities while seeming to be an exposé.
