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.”

Kesey intended to turn the road trip into a movie reminiscent of Jack Kerouac’s beat novel “On the Road.”

He outfitted the bus with audio and video equipment, (although if you look at the footage it is of very low quality).

Now for the red flags…

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….

Prankster Ken Babbs:

Ken was in the Naval Reserve while a student at Stanford. He then served in one of the first Marine Corps units shipped to Vietnam in 1962.

Prankster Lee Quarnstrom: Lee attended New Trier High School (a famous high school used by the Spooks).

Teenage Prankster Sandy Lehmann-Haupt’s father was a Psychological Warfare Officer during World War 2, and worked on cultural warfare projects in Berlin during the Cold War.

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.

The Merry Pranksters appear to be the domestic side of the Gulf of Tonkin psy-op, used to divert the anti-war protestors (that grew organically) towards drugs, instead of pursuing meaningful political change.

Prankster George Walker said he “witnessed an obvious cultural shift among young Americans” after the bus trip, and soon “there were thousands of hippie buses all over the place.” Better to have the masses piling into druggie buses than actually organizing, right?

Augustus “Owsley” Stanley was the main LSD supplier to the Merry Pranksters and later to the Grateful Dead, Beatles, and other counterculture icons.

Stanley was “the first known private individual to manufacture mass quantities of LSD. Owsley became the primary LSD supplier to Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters” in September 1965… two months before the Pranksters began their famous Acid Tests.

The Acid Tests were parties organized by Kesey that included light shows, fluorescent paint, music, and LSD. The Grateful Dead got their start while performing as the house band at these Acid Tests.

Owsley was “the son of a political family from Kentucky” and his grandfather had been a Congressman, Senator, and Governor of Kentucky.

Owsley dropped out of high school, but was admitted to UVA’s engineering program. He then dropped out of UVA and, despite a “dearth of formal education,” was hired to work on cruise missiles at a major defense contractor.

After this job, Stanley enlisted in the Air Force, where he spent stints at Andrews Air Force Base and the Jet Propulsion Lab. So again, we have more military connections with the Merry Pranksters, and more phonies without degrees at JPL.

In summary for today’s presentation (Grateful Dead will be next)...it’s interesting how much of the counterculture hinges on this notion that Kesey stole the LSD and was not simply given it.
Because if Kesey was given LSD and encouraged to distribute it, then it would be less cool, right? Was Kesey a government agent?
If so we would have to call into question the whole LSD/60s movement.

Either Kesey was stealing drugs from the government because they have some type of inherent good, or he was working for the government and using the drugs as the government actually intended (to dumb people down).

The notion that the CIA and Stanford people running the experiments didn’t notice Kesey taking out large amounts of acid also seems suspect.

But in the end, Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters were just puppets…like the musicians and the Manson family we talked about in the Manson presentation… controlled by the C-I-A to pull another Psyop and False Flag on the American people.

At 5:00 EST/2:00 PST tomorrow (Thursday) I will be on with Bruce Poppy and his YouTube channel called, “UnPOPular Viewpoint 2.”

After the live show is over it will be posted to Rumble. If you can’t watch the live, I will post links afterwards. Bruce is a great guy with great viewpoints!
