Coming out of their drunken-like stupor from barbiturates, the subject would be energized by the amphetamines and would talk uncontrollably and incoherently. The idea was to ask the subject questions… in this state of babbling… to try to get the truth out of them.
Unfortunately, most of the subjects died from the drug interactions, and as a result this type of testing was discontinued.

Long-Term LSD Dosing
Another bizarre and inhumane experiment involved dosing subjects with LSD daily for long periods. In some cases, subjects received an average or above-average dose of LSD every day for more than two months straight.
Gottlieb used this testing method to see the long-term effects of LSD and if repeated hallucinations or psychedelic experiments would gradually deconstruct one’s sense of self.

The Rise of “Hippie Culture”
The “hippie” counterculture movement that defined American culture in the 60s and 70s was believed to have started as a direct result of Gottlieb’s experiments.
Ken Kesey, mentioned previously, was introduced to LSD that was brought to America…and specifically Stanford University.
Kesey’s “acid tests” were typically accompanied by loud music, other drugs, and alcohol, and they served as the foundation for anti-establishment and hippie culture.

The End of MK-Ultra & Its Aftermath
MK-Ultra experiments came to an end (or did it) in 1973, about 20 years after they began. The project created distrust in the federal government that still exists today.
Destruction of MK-Ultra Records
By 1973, Gottlieb’s superiors ordered the destruction of documents and records from the MK-Ultra project. Reports state that the destruction of documents was ordered because the C-I-A officials feared they would be declassified in the wake of the Watergate Scandal.
It’s believed that most of the documentation was destroyed from the CIA’s archives before the information was released to government officials and the public. However, approximately 20,000 documents remained and were investigated by officials and attorneys.

Frank Church, a lawyer and Senator from Idaho, formed the “Church Committee,” a group dedicated to the exposure of MK-Ultra and related CIA projects. The Church Committee helped complete the CIA’s investigation and eventually pressured the President Gerald Ford to put new laws in place to protect future subjects from such treatment.

Presidential Order for Transparency:
In 1976, under advisement from the Church Committee, President Gerald Ford presented an executive order, later referred to as the “Presidential Order for Transparency.”
This order stated that any future tests and experiments involving humans…issued by the CIA or other government programs… must be clear, transparent, and upfront with subjects about their intent and methods for experimentation.

The Montauk Experiments that occurred in the 70s and 80s would lead us to believe that MK Ultra experiments never ended. The false flags that were perpetrated on us by the Clowns-In-America…many
within this past decade…is more proof that the experiments never stopped.
Tomorrow we will continue our discussions on this topic…specifically the Kool Aid Acid Test…and how that ties back to the social engineering by Tavistock.

Yesterday we briefly talked about Ken Kesey. Many associate Ken Kesey with his famous novel (that later became an Oscar Best Film winner)...”One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.” Others associate him with the LSD movement. Some, like myself, associate him with both. Today we are going to talk about the latter.
(I will silence the chat and channel until I’m done copy/pasting the presentation).

Kesey took these drugs and wrote down what he experienced at the nearby Veterans’ Hospital in Menlo Park, CA.
Kesey enjoyed his drug experiences, and signed up for a part time job at the Veterans’ Hospital, where soon he was stealing LSD out of the medicine chest and using it to turn on all his friends. Access to psychedelics and a bestselling debut novel made Kesey a leader of the West Coast counterculture in the early 1960’s.
The success of his novel, “Cuckoo’s Nest'' allowed Kesey to afford a ranch house in the hills not far from Stanford. The house soon became a center for bohemian party-goers.
His circle of friends were dubbed “The Merry Pranksters.”

In the summer of 1964, the Pranksters went on a (fake as you will find out) road trip from California to New York in a colorfully painted school bus called Furthur (purposely misspelled).
This trip has been cited in popular culture as the birth of the counterculture. A 2011 documentary on Furthur proclaimed, “Ken Kesey lit the fuse for the explosion that started the sixties.”
Additionally, The University of Virginia library stated that, “Much of the hippie aesthetic that would dawn on the San Francisco scene in the late sixties can be traced back to the Merry Pranksters who openly used psychoactive drugs, wore outrageous attire, performed bizarre acts of street theater, and engaged in peaceful confrontation with not only the laws of conformity, but with the mores of conventionality.”

This road trip…cited as the “epitome of a spontaneous bohemian adventure”... was in fact planned as a movie from the get go (and a novel, too). Think TAVISTOCK!
As it turns out… Kesey had spent many summers trying to make it in LA as an actor. And author Tom Wolfe rode along to write the novel version of the trip, “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.” Prankster Ken Babbs admitted… “ If Tom Wolfe's book never came out, the Pranksters would be nobodies.”

Kesey and crew began their trip aboard the “Furthur” June 1964…six weeks prior to Gulf of Tonkin incident.
We haven’t discussed this yet, but the Gulf of Tonkin was a PSYOP! The Tonkin incident was a fake event organized by Naval Intelligence, and used as a pretext for escalating the Vietnam War.
With this timeline in mind, let’s look at the characters who went on the Furthur trip, and see if they seem like typical hippies to you….

The Merry Pranksters picked up author Robert Stone on their bus tour in New York. Stone had served four years in the Navy and later traveled to Vietnam as a war correspondent.
Ken Kesey’s father was in the Navy. And, as we discussed earlier, Ken was a participant in the C-I-A’s MKUltra studies at Stanford.

Of the Thirteen Pranksters that went on the Furthur trip…all were Jewish… 3 were brothers or cousins of Babbs/Kesey, and 2 were girlfriends of the core Pranksters.
This appears to be an unusual concentration of elite military and educational pedigrees for a supposed hippie bus.

Tom Wolfe rode on Furthur for three weeks to collect material for his famous book about the trip.
Wolfe majored in American Studies at Yale… a department started by Norman Pearson. Pearson was a top-ranking
C-I-A agent who served as the link between the OSS and the British Ultra Cryptanalysis project during World War II.

After World War II Pearson helped organize the CIA, and later used Yale’s American studies program as “an instrument for promoting American interests.”
Wikipedia admits the American Studies program was a recruiting ground for intelligence. Given that Wolfe took classes with Pearson and wrote his eulogy, many believe Wolfe was a spook (C-I-A agent).

Some of you might be thinking that there was a military link because there was a draft and there was pressure to serve in the military during this era.
But…there are many red flags to explain otherwise. The Furthur trip took place in June 1964, before the war had officially started and before the draft was in full effect.
None of the Pranksters were drafted, and the core of the group had college degrees and thus were draft-exempt for most of the 1960s, anyways.
