How the CIA created the 60s
Psychedelic Intelligence — The CIA and the Counterculture
From Tragedy and Hope
The website Dangerous Minds carries an interview with David McGowan, author of Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & The Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream.
“To the extent that it has a central thesis, I would say that it is that the music and counterculture scene that sprung to life in the 1960s was not the organic, grassroots resistance movement that it is generally perceived to be, but rather a movement that was essentially manufactured and steered. And a corollary to that would be that for a scene that was supposed to be all about peace, love and understanding, there was a very dark, violent underbelly that this book attempts to expose.”
In other words, McGowan has figured out that the 1960s counterculture was prepared in advance, though he doesn’t name any names in this short interview, and we haven’t read the book.
Corbett Report interviews Jan Irvin on the CIA, MK-Ultra, and the Creation of the Drug Culture
From The Corbett Report
We don’t know Jan Irvin, and this interview is less than coherent. But Irvin does name the right names, and you can use these videos as an open door to research the brains behind the 60s counterculture if you are so inclined. We don’t care to get bogged down in the 60s, so we’ll be moving on.
