Williams
(choreographer for the Temptations, and one of the original
Temptations), Clarence White (Byrds), Robbie McIntosh (drummer Average
White Band), Jim Morrison (Doors), Pamela Morrison (Jim's wife), Rod
McKernan "Pig Pen" (Grateful Dead), Phil Ochs, Gram Parsons (Byrds,
Flying Burritos, International Submarine Band, singing with Emmylou
Harris), Sal Mineo, Meredith Hunter (victim of ritual killing at
Altamont Festival), Steve Perron (lead singer of Children, wrote hit
songs for ZZ TOP), and Jimmy Reed (influenced many groups, combined
harmonica with guitar) were a few possible victims.
Family and
friends accepted the musicians depressions or accidents as having to do
with alcohol, drug usage, or both. Was anything added to their beverages
or drugs to cause personality changes and eventual suicides?
Almost every death was shrouded with unanswered questions and mystery.
Persons around the musicians had strange backgrounds and were often suspect.
All
of these musicians were at the peak of a creative period and success at
the time they were offered LSD. Their personalities altered
drastically. Optimism and gratification were replaced with doubt and
misery.
Why would young people with so much talent and influence
as Phil Ochs, Janis Joplin, Gram Parsons, or Brian Jones wallow in
suffering, self doubt, and despondency? They were all loved, doing
important contributions to their concerts and compositions, cutting new
records, recognized for their talent. It just doesn't make sense.
Jimi Hendrix, Mama Cass Elliott, Steve Perron choking from their vomit? I doubt it!!
Phil
Ochs just happened to be touring Africa when a native "robber" jumped
after him and cut his throat so that it affected his singing? The most
political symbol of protest against the war in Vietnam, songwriter for
Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and many others, is selected from millions of U.S.
tourists for assault to his vocal chords. Incredible!!
Way back
in 1966 the American Broadcasting Co. was planning to merger with
International Telephone and Telegraph Co.(ITT). ABC had put aside
$100,000 advance for the first television special by writer-poet Bob
Dylan. The production was to climax the season.
On Saturday, July
30, 1966, Bob Dylan had a motorcycle accident. Dylan never got on the
air, and ABC never merged with ITT. The merger required a lack of
protest from the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department. No
comment. By now you know what I am thinking!!!
In addition to Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, and the Dave Mason band, many others suffered near fatal accidents.
The
nine years in which the musicians allegedly overdosed, drank themselves
to death, drove over cliffs, hung themselves, choked, crashed their
motorcycles, went insane, or freaked out without any reasonable
explanation, were the same years that the FBI and CIA waged a domestic
war against any kind of dissent.
Was Lennie Bruce the first
victim? How about Jack Kerouac? Did Bruce pay his dues for comparing
United States police to Hitler's Gestapo. Was all the fuss about dirty
words only a cover story?
An important part of neutralizing any group is to kill or discredit the leaders.
Monterey Pop set the combined Government agencies in motion.
"Never again was there a festival such as the one that took
place that weekend of 1967. Never was there another event where over
thirty rock groups were inflated by no more that the joy of an
enraptured audience and the gorgeous pleasure of performance itself.
There were eight, nine, ten times as many people running rock festivals
taking place only two years later. There was never another Monterey! The
weekend was too intoxicating, too radiant, too pure."
"Janis Joplin, Buried Alive" Myra Friedman
By
1968, the FBI's Counterintelligence Program, and the CIA's Operation
Chaos, had included among their long list of domestic enemies "Advocates
of New Lifestyles," "New Left," "Apostles of Non-Violence and Racial
Harmony" and "Restless Youth."
Justification for indexing 300,000
law abiding citizens into files, and wiretapping, bugging, or
burglarizing offices was rationalized on the basis that violence was
prevalent, the cities were burning.
Now we find out that being
"non-violent" and wanting "racial harmony," according to recent
Congressional investigations, was also a crime.
The meeting place
for this social, economic, and soon to become political, revolution was
at the folk festival, rock concerts, free park love-ins, at the FM
radio stations, or home with favorite records.
In the music there were many messages.
American
youth were provided with a wide variety of radio stations to manage,
alternative news sources, and new ways to learn what was going on in the
world.
For the first time, young Americans found themselves with enough space and time to communicate.
The
space was the entire continent, then the globe. They wandered. Many
left homes in large numbers, seeking contacts from strangers in distant
communities.
The time was often twenty four hours each day. They dropped out from established institutions. Clocks disappeared.
Musicians were bringing these young people together from far away places.
"I see a great deal of danger in the air. Teenagers are not
screaming over pop music anymore, they're screaming for much deeper
reasons. We're only serving as a means of giving them an outlet. Pop
music is just the superficial tissue. When I'm on the stage I sense that
the teenagers are trying to communicate to me, like by telepathy, a
message of some urgency. Not about me or my music, but about the world
and the way they live. I interpret it as their demonstration against
society and it's sick attitudes. Teenagers the world over are weary of
being pushed around by half-witted politicians who attempt to dominate
their way of thinking and set a code for their living. This is a protest
against the system. And I see a lot of trouble coming in the dawn."
Mick Jagger 1967
Everything was beautiful until the insanity began.
The CIA got into the business of altering human behavior in 1947.
"Project Paperclip," an arrangement made by CIA Director Allen Dulles
and Richard Helms, brought one thousand Nazi specialists and their
families to the United States. They were employed for military and
civilian institutions.
Some Nazi doctors were brought to our hospitals and colleges to continue further experimentations on the brain.
American
and German scientists, working with the CIA, then the military, started
developing every possible method of controlling the mind.
Lysergic
Acid Diethylmide, LSD,, was discovered at the Sandoz Laboratories,
Basel, Switzerland, in 1939 by Albert Hoffman. This LSD was pure. No
other ingredients were added.
The U.S. Army got interested in LSD
for interrogation purposes in 1950. After May, 1956, until 1975, the
U.S. Army Intelligence and the U.S. Chemical Corps "experimented with
hallucinogenic drugs."
The CIA and Army spent $26,501,446
"testing" LSD, code name EA 1729, and other chemical agents. Contracts
went out to forty-eight different institutions for testing. The CIA was
part of these projects. They concealed their participation by
contracting to various colleges, hospitals, prisons, mental hospitals,
and private foundations.
The LSD I will refer to is the same type
of LSD that the CIA used because of the similarity of symptoms between
their reports and what happened to musicians or hippies after 1967. We
shall be speaking of CIA-LSD, not pure LSD.
Government agents and
the ability to cause permanent insanity, identical to schizophrenia,
without physician or family knowing what happened to the victim.
"No physical examination of the subject is required prior to the
administration of LSD. A physician need not be present. Physicians might
be called for the hope they would make a diagnosis of mental-breakdown
which would be useful in discrediting the individual who was the subject
of CIA interest. Richard Helms, CIA Director, argued that administering
drugs, including poisonous LSD, might be on individuals who are
unwitting as this is the only realistic method of maintaining the
capability considering the intended operational use to influence human
behavior as the operational targets will certainly be unwitting."
"Senate Report to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities"
Book I, page 401, April 1976.
When
the first reports came out that the CIA could administer a tasteless
substance into the beverage of one of their most responsible co-workers,
and drive that man into a mental institution, or cause him to jump out
of a window to his death, all existing CIA records were destroyed.
Hippies
and musicians, previously normal and creative, with families and loved
ones identical to Dr. Frank Olson, responded in the same manner as Dr.
Olson after their introduction to the same drugs.
Valuable
documentation of LSD experiments should not have been in the hands of
CIA Director Richard Helms. January 31, 1973, one day before he retired
from the CIA, he removed some possible answers as to the fate of persons
minds the past ten years.
Helms had been behind all the types of experimentations since 1947.
Mind
altering projects went under the code names of Operation Chatter,
Operation Bluebird/Artichoke, Operation Mknaomi, Mkultra, and Mkdelta.
By
1963, four years before Monterey Pop, the combined efforts of the CIA's
Directorate of Science and Technology, Department of U.S. Army
Intelligence, and U.S. Chemical Corps were ready for any covert
operations that seemed necessary.
U.S. agents were able to
destroy any persons reputation cause by inducing hysteria or excessive
emotional responses, temporary or permanent insanity, suggest or
encourage suicide, erase memory, invent double or triple personalities
inside one mind, prolong lapses of memory, teach and induce racism and
hatred against specific groups, cause subjects to obey instructions on
the telephone or in person, hypnotically assure no memory remains of the
assignments.
The CIA has poison dart guns to kill from far away,
tranquilizers for pets so the household or neighborhood is not alerted
by entry or exit.
While pure LSD is usually 160 micrograms, the
CIA was issuing 1600 micrograms. Some of their LSD was administered to
patients at Tulane University who already had wired electrodes in their
brain.
Was being crazy an occupational disease of being a
musician? Or does this LSD, tested and described in Army documents,
explain how a cultural happening that was taking place in 1967-68 could
be halted and altered radically?
Janis used to say that her
speed experience was induced by a man. He had been the cause of it. He
had brought her lower than she had ever been in her life. Her
involvement with the young man started in the spring of '65. He was a
very sharp brain and questionable character, engaged in some rather odd
activities. Neither his history or his name was his own. He set up a
fraudulent international pharmaceutical company in Canada to obtain
drugs. He was also a methadrine addict. Janis was an exceptionally
vulnerable girl. It had taken Janis about seven months from the time she
returned from New York to degenerate into a vegetable, an eighty pound
spastic speed-freak.
"Buried Alive, Janis Joplin"
Myra Friedman
Chrissie
Shrimpton described how Mick Jagger's mind was affected after he
started taking acid. Jagger had a nervous breakdown in the United
States, June 1966, some months after he started taking acid. His
collapse came just weeks before the start of a new concert tour.
Several
friends from America visited Jagger and Chrissie and surreptitiously
slipped acid into her drink. She was literally out of her mind. A short
while later, Chrissie attempted to kill herself.
"Henry
Schneiderman, a sinister American, or Canadian...he had so many
passports no one was certain of his origin, brought to Keith Richards
home a suitcase...which contained several pounds of heroin, cannabis,
pills acid, DMT, every herb and chemical to stab or stroke the
mind...along with choice LSD from San Francisco.
Schneiderman
had let believe he was really bending the law all over the world. He
was on a James Bond thing, the CIA or something."
"Mick Jagger"
Tony Scaduto
Brian Jones had a complete personality change after taking LSD.
Janis Joplin's first LSD was administered surreptitiously. When she discovered what happened, she ran to spit it out.
Before
Watergate, long before our understanding of Government agents
interfering with our privacy or right to assemble, many autopsies and
descriptions of mental conditions were never challenged. Today there is
healthy suspicion.
When Tim Buckley died, following a successful
concert in Dallas, Texas, his death was first attributed to a heart
attack. Ten days later, Buckley's cause of death was discovered to be
brought on by a drug overdose.
UCLA graduate student Richard
Keeling was finally charged with murder after it was discovered that
Buckley had sniffed heroin-morphine-ethanol. A police eyewitness
actually saw Buckley ingest the powder.
Robbie McIntosh sniffed cocaine at a party.
The cocaine was laced with heroine and strychnine. Host Kenneth Moss was charged with murder.
In
the cases of rock musicians becoming ill or passing away, there were so
many variations of possibilities that could have been narrowed down to
the facts if the doctors had been aware of all the circumstances. Jimi
Hendrix was given a tab of acid just before his show at Madison Square
Garden where he was playing with Buddy Miles and Bill Cox. The audience,
as well as Hendrix, were completely freaked out by his irrational
behavior. The result was that Hendrix was discredited.
The effect
of one LSD dose could cause permanent brain injury. Anything Hendrix
did after this experience, up to and including the time of his death,
could be attributed to that earlier event.
Government manufactured LSD included countless combinations of chemicals.
New
York State Psychiatric Institute was granted the first known contract
for research into psychochemical drugs. The purpose was to determine the
psychological effect of psychological chemical agents on human
subjects. These subjects were given derivatives of LSD and mescaline.
Other chemicals that were tested, which could be distributed at a later
date included morphine, demerol, seconal, scopolamine, ditan, atrophine,
psilocybin, BZ (benzilate), glycolate, atrophine substitutes, dimethyl,
tryptamine, chlorpromazine, LSD with Dibenzyline (blocking agents), LSM
(Lysergic acid morpholide), LSD like compounds, psilocybin, and various
chemical glycolate agents.
It is no easy feat to alter society's consciousness. An arsenal of weapons was available.
Included
among the chemicals were also choking agents, nerve agents, blood
agents, blister agents, vomiting agents, incapacitating agents and
toxins.
"The glycolates cause incapacitation by interfering
with muscle, gland functions and the central nervous system, they
depress or inhibit nervous activity. In addition to delirium there is
physical incoordination, blurred vision inhibition of sweating and
salivation, rapid heart rate, elevated blood pressure, increased body
temperature and , at high doses, vomiting, prostration, and stupor or
coma. The onset may be minutes, hours, or days."

2. THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
"How does it feel
to be
One of the
Beautiful people?"
The Beatles "Baby, You're Rich Man"
Magical Mystery Tour Album
Robert Hall, a private detective in Hollywood, was killed by a single bullet on July 22, 1976.
So
far, there has been a wire service news blackout on the implications of
Hall's murder for obvious reasons. The facts in this case should expose
more than the tip of Watergate. What was going on is Los Angeles is
part and parcel of the Washington, D.C. scandals.
If one Army
report alone exposes that millions of dollars were spent using and
testing chemical combinations for operational purposes, then somebody
has to be around to distribute the poison.
Managers of seven rock
groups, seven different groups, had hired private eye Hall to find out
how their stars were getting "stoned."
Turning on or feeling
"high" doesn't warrant hiring the professional assistance of a
detective. That they were obviously complaining about was that the stars
were being altered in such a way that it hampered with their public
appearances, credibility, personal lives, and recordings.
Hall's inquiry revealed the drugs were coming from two pharmacies with which he had been employed.
Hall
used to own a drug store in Hollywood with co-partner Jack Ginsburg, an
admitted pornographer, who was charged with Hall's murder.
Gene
LeBell, 44, the other man arrested along with Ginsburg, refereed the
Muhammed Ali bout with a Japanese wrestler in July, '76. LeBell, a
professional wrestler, is the son of Aileen Eaton, a well known boxing
promoter who owns and operates the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles.
The
reports that Hall concluded for the managers of the rock musicians
included the names of two physicians and one dentist as having supplied
false prescriptions. The cause of apparent freaking out was centered in a
small area of operation.
This information was turned over to the
proper authorities for arrests before Hass was murdered. No actions
were taken by the police. No arrests have been made.
The same
frustrations plagued Robert Hall that bothered Phoenix, Arizona reporter
Don Bolles. The higher-ups get police and law protection. The
investigators get killed.
Don Bolles and Robert Hall were investigating some of the same people, an actual who's who of the cold war.
Hall's
contacts were important because they touched the prime movers of our
politics, movies, electoral processes, entertainment, and also our
tastes in music and in sounds.
Within moments of Hall's murder,
his name was linked with possible murder for hire, kidnapping plans for
millionaire financier Robert Vesco's son, gun running to Vesco in Costa
Rica, the unsolved stabbing of actor Sal Mineo, blackmail, the lost safe
deposit box of Howard Hughes that could contain his original will,
Beverly Hills financier Thomas P. Richardson (recently convicted of a
$25 million stock fraud), Hollywood's most famous celebrities in drug
and sex scandals, exposures of televisions stars and high Washington
officials, drug traffic from Los Angeles to the Malibu community,
international sports events, the Los Angeles Police Department (one of
their former agents is now retired, heads the Police Science Department
at L.A. Valley College and supplied the fatal weapon used to kill Hall),
Los Angeles Police Department Chief Ed Davis (because of his links to
the FBI and CIA) a possible plot to kidnap Bernard Cornfeld (associate
of Robert Vesco), past contacts with Mickey Cohen, the long drug
addiction of singer Eddie Fisher, contract employment of Hall by Howard
Hughes Summa Corp., the two burglaries of Hughes headquarters in Van
Nuys and on Romaine Street. The burglary on Romaine Street set off the
Glomar Explorer scandal of Hughes fronting the contract for the CIA.
Hall
sent his pals to New York. Dr. Max Jacobson, titled Dr. Feelgood, the
source of John F. Kennedy's happy time vitamins. Roy B. Loftin,
contractor for NASA, Texan, with a long association and friendship for
Bobby Baker, Lyndon Johnson's protege, knew Hall.
Investigations
into the slain Burbank private detective caused Beverly Hills Police
Captain Jack Eggers, on the force seventeen years, to resign.
Hall worked as a double agent for the Beverly Hills Police and the Los Angeles Police.
The
relationship between law enforcement, drug traffic, and personalities
as varied as politicians and musicians makes it sometimes impossible to
get an impartial investigation of certain deaths. What appears as
suicide can be murder.
At the time of Hall's murder, his
possessions included tranquilizer guns, drug loaded darts that fire gas
canisters, electronic bugging equipment of all kinds, and a wide variety
of chemical formulas.
The chemicals were possibly a combination from the many tested by the U.S. Government from 1953 to 1963.
3. THE ENEMY
Why were Hippies such a threat, from the President on down to local levels, objects for surveillance and disruptions?
Many
of the musicians had the potential to become political. There were
racial overtones to the black-white sounds, the harmony between people
like Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, and Jimi Hendrix. Black music was the
impetus that got the Rolling Stones into composing and performing.
The
war in Vietnam was escalating. What if they stopped protesting the war
in Southeast Asia and turned to expose domestic policies at home with
the same energy? One of the Byrds stopped singing at Monterey Pop to
question the official Warren Report conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald
was a "lone assassin."
Bob Dylan's "Bringing it All Back Home" album has a picture of Lyndon Johnson on the cover of Time.
By 1966, LBJ had ordered all writers and critics of his Commission Report on the JFK murder to be under surveillance.
That research was hurting him. Rock concerts and Oswald. What next?
While preacher preach of evil fates
teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have
to stand naked.
Bob Dylan
"It's Alright Ma"
Bringing it All Back Home album
John and Yoko Lennon were protesting the Vietnam war. The State
Department wrote documents describing them as "highly political and
unfavorable to the administration." It was recommended their citizenship
be denied, and they be put under surveillance.
Mick Jagger,
before he was offered Hollywood's choicest women and heavy drugs, was
concerned about the youth protests in Paris, 1968, and the anti-war
demonstrations at the London Embassy.
"War stems from
power-mad politicians and patriots. Some new master plan would end all
these mindless men from seats of power and replace them with real
people, people of compassion."----Mick Jagger
Woodstock, summer
of 1969, was the turning point of rock festivals. Time magazine
described this happening as "one of the most significant political and
sociological events of the age."
One half million American youth
assembled for a three day rock concert. They were non-violent,
fun-loving hippies, who resembled the large followings of Mahatma Gandhi
in India and Rev. Martin Luther King in the USA, both strong advocates
of non-violence. And both assassinated.
It is important to
understand the kinds of drugs and agents available to stifle dissent,
the mentality of people hell-bent on changing the course of history, in
order to comprehend that cultures and tastes can be moved in directions
according to game plans in the hands of a few people.
Adolf
Hitler's first targets in Nazi Germany were the Gypsies and the
students. LSD was a youth oriented drug; that was perfected in the
laboratory. When it was combined with other chemicals, and given the
wide distribution necessary all that remained were the marching orders
to go to war.
4. THE BATTLEGROUND
July, 1968, the FBI's counterintelligence operations attacked law abiding American individual's and groups.
The
stated purpose of these assaults was to disrupt large gatherings,
expose and discredit the enemy, and neutralize their selected targets.
Neutralization
included killing the leaders, if necessary. Preferably, turn two
opposing segments of society against each other to do the dirty work for
them.
Remember that among these dangers to the security of the
United States were persons with "different lifestyles" and also
"apostles of non-violence and racial harmony."
CIA Director
Richard Helms warned National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger, Feb. 18,
1969, that their study on "Restless youth" was "extremely sensitive"
and "would prove most embarrassing for all concerned if word got out the
CIA was involved in domestic matters."
The FBI sent out a list
of suggestions on how to achieve their goals. They can all be applied to
what happened to musicians, youngsters at folk rock festivals, and
hippies along the highway.
Gather information on their
immorality. Show them as scurrilous and depraved. Call attention to
their habits and living conditions. Explore every possible
embarrassment. Send in women and sex, break up marriages. Have members
arrested on marijuana charges. Investigate personal conflicts or
animosities between them. Send articles to the newspapers showing their
depravity. Use narcotics and free sex to entrap. Use misinformation to
confuse and disrupt. Get records of their bank accounts. Obtain
specimens of handwriting. Provoke target groups into rivalries that may
result in death."------Intelligence Activities and Rights of Americans.
Book II, April 26, 1976, Senate Committee Study with Respect to
Intelligence
The IRS admitted that "people who attend rock
concert festivals" were listed among targets for investigation by its
special staff. Agent Leon Levine said that "ideological groups such as
rock festival patrons were to be watched."
A San Diego police
officer was penalized for throwing rocks at a concert that injured a 17
year-old girl. She was treated for a fractured nose and facial
lacerations.
John and Yoko's legal problems began when marijuana
was planted in some binoculars while moving. After Mr. Schneiderman
showed the British police his full suitcase of drugs during the bust
with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Robert Frazier, Schneiderman left
town. He was never arrested. The Stones went to jail. Mick Jagger was
then put on the International Red List as a possible narcotics smuggler
every time he went through customs.
Cable Splicer III, martial
law plans, set to control civil disturbances, May 1970, described as
dangerous "love-in type gatherings in the parks where in large numbers
freak out, peace marches, rock festivals where violence is commonplace
and sex is unrestrained."
Chicago Police Chief Rockford, overall
commander during the police clashes at 1968 demonstrations, was also in
charge of the police who fired a volley of shots, wounding one youth in a
riot at the 1970 rock festival in Grant Park.
Louis Tackwood,
agent provocateur with the Los Angeles Police Department, exposed CREEP
and the Republicans who were going to turn San Diego into a scene of
violence during the conventions in 1972. Part of the plans were to seal
off and them bomb a hundred thousand demonstrators attending a rock
concert on Fiesta Island in Mission Bay, San Diego.
Employees at
the CIA's Langley, Virginia, headquarters don't have to stand in line
to get tickets to these events. They have a top-secret ticketron outlet
for rock concert appearances.
A similar top-secret ticketron outlet is administered by the National Security Agency at For George Meade, Md.
Howard Hughes organization ordered "all rock concerts prohibited in Las Vegas."
Fortune, January 1969, described the Movement as encompassing "hippies
and doctrinaire Leninists, anarchists and populists, revolutionaries,
whose domain is the human mind, rock bands and cultural guerrillas."
During the 1968 riots in Washington, D.C. group singing was outlawed by
the police department. They were aware that people "get high" singing
together.
Records of Led Zeppelin, Cat Stevens, Alice Cooper,
Simon and Garfunkel, Jethro Tull and others were burned at the Hollywood
Christian Academy in Hollywood, Fla. Rock music was described as being
"of the devil, having no place in a Christian life."
The rock
group Black Cat won a $570,000 slander suit against a minister in
Arkansas. Their concert had been prevented, claiming they were a
"mongrel group of Satanic origins."
Following the slaying of two
Americans in South Korea in August, the government issued tighter
controls on long hair and "decadent music." Korea has a list of 260
decadent rock-folk and protest songs. Among them is "I Shot the Sheriff"
and "We Shall Overcome." A survey of Quebec policemen showed that more
of them were hostile to hippies or beatniks than they are toward
criminals.
Art Linkletter, a television personality, told a
Congressional committee investigating drug abuse that the "Beatles were
the leading advocates of an acid society." This is an example of turning
one hostile group against another. There is every reason to believe
that the LSD that caused Dr. Frank Olson and Diane Linkletter to leap
from buildings to their death could be manufactured from the same
laboratories. With justified anger, Linkletter became a mouthpiece.
Meanwhile, the so-called straight society Linkletter was defending,
spent sixteen years and millions of dollars perfecting LSD into an
operational weapon.
Los Angeles Police arrested 511 persons
attending the Pink Floyd concert. There were no mass arrests at Elton
John's performance in the same city, around the same time.
Somebody is selecting their targets, because there is plenty of grass at Elton's concert.
"Peace
Pills" were distributed at the Santa Clara Fairgrounds for a folk-rock
festival. Youngsters were hospitalized. A strange drug was handed out
freely and poured into drinks.
All of those who took the drug were treated, but sent home without any knowledge of the psychological damage.
This pill was blamed for the death of Mrs. Loid Dodd de Lattre, wife of
a beatnik priest. Mrs. de Lattre's heart burst under the stimulation of
the drug. Under its influence, she tore out her hair and threw herself
on the floor.
A man had jumped on the musician's platform and
announced they had 4,000 pills to hand out. The pills caused "marked
disorientation as to time and space, inability to sustain directed
thought, presence of a trance-like state."
This kind of scene
was so common that large groups were discouraged from performing in the
manner they had before these assaults took place.
The irreplaceable loss of lives and talent has been noticed by persons sensitive to the rock-folk music.
We
can't bring them back to life. We might take time to examine their
deaths, if only to stop the still going attack upon certain artists and
musicians.
Some of my information on the details of these deaths
is incomplete. The circumstances surrounding them caused me to ask some
hard questions.
JOHN CARPENTER, 45 yrs, Sept. 18, 1976, killed by
hit and run driver, Ben Lomand, Calif. Part of the earliest rock scene,
once managed Grace Slick, wrote for Rolling Stone from issue one
through eight, disc jockey at KPFK, music critic for L.A Free Press. Got
"totally crazed" and committed himself to a mental institution for a
while.
TIM BUCKLEY, 28 yrs, June 29, 1975, Los Angeles. Just
returned from a concert in Dallas, Texas, about to make a movie of
Woodie Guthrie's "Bound for Glory." Death caused by
heroin-morphine-pentathol. Police eyewitness to his taking the drug. Joe
Falsia, Buckely's manager "never knew Tim used drugs." Richard Keeling
charged with his murder.
THE CHASE, August 11, 1974, Four in rock
group killed, airplane crash. Bill Chase, Jazz trumpeter with Woody
Herman, Walt Clark, drummer, John Emma, guitarist, and Wallace Wouhne,
organist. Three years ago the Chase had a single, "Get It On," that
became a hit. Popular with radio stations. Played often in Las Vegas,
Japan, Africa, released three albums.
JIM CROCE, 30 yrs. old,
Sept. 20, 1973. Airplane crash, Louisiana. Recorded hit albums,
including "Bad, Bad LeRoy Brown." Degree in psychology from Villanova
U., sang at small colleges. Croce's widow filed a $2.5 million suit
against Federal Aviation Administration. Allegations that preparation of
maps on the airport runway were faulty, leaving a tree unmarked which
the fatal plane struck.
BRIAN JONES, July, 1969, London. One of
the original members of the Rolling Stones. Unique musician, helped the
group get started, under control of drugs by 1966, took LSD that caused
personality changes and depression. Seemed to have brain damage and
disintegrated. Compared his arrests and planted grass to the treatment
Lennie Bruce had received, forced to drop from the group. Keith
Richards, of the Stones, said,
"Some very weird things
happened the night Brian died. We had these chauffeurs working for us,
and we tried to find out. Some of them had a weird hold over Brian. I
got straight into it and wanted to know who was there and couldn't find
out. The only cat I could ask was the one I think who got rid of
everybody, and did a whole disappearing thing so that when the cops
arrived, it was just an accident. Maybe it was. I don't know. I don't
even know who was there that night, and finding out is impossible. It's
the same feeling with who killed Kennedy. You can't get to the bottom of
it."
"Mick Jagger"
Tony Scaduto
MAMA CASS ELLIOT,
33, former member of Mamas and Papas, London. Found dead in her
apartment. "Probably choked to death on a ham sandwich," or "possibly of
heart attack. The coroner said it "appears the singer had not died of
natural causes." She was propped up in bed, and had been dead for a
considerable time before her body was found. Had just completed two
weeks at the London Palladium, was ready to tour Britain, was in
excellent mental spirits. Performed at the Monterey Pop.
JANIS
JOPLIN, 27 yrs., Oct. 3, 1970, Los Angeles. Cause of death listed as

5. FINALE
Helter Skelter and Gimme Shelter
War, Children
It's just a shot a-way,
It's just a shot a-way
See the fire sweeping our very street today,
Barns like a red coal carpet, ma
Mad bull lost its way
Rape! Murder! It's just a shot away
Gimme Gimme Shelter
or I'm gonna fade away
Love sister,
It's just a kiss away.
Mick Jagger
Keith Richards
"Gimme Shelter"
Let it Bleed Album
By the end of 1969, the folk-music festival was killed in spirit and
was over as a cultural happening. It never was the same again. There
are musical performances, but it just isn't the same feeling.
The
two most popular groups, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, would be
identified, through media and factual distortions, with cold blooded
murder and violence.
Helter Skelter, the name of a Beatles song, would become the title of Manson Family prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's book.
What a strange twist of fate!!
Gimme
Shelter, the name of a movie depicting the ritualistic murder of a
black man attending the Rolling Stones concert in Altamont Racetracks,
California, is from a song by the Rolling Stones.
How did this all happen?
Coincidence or conspiracy?
There are so many published Government documents today, and
Congressional Hearings exposing illegal CIA and FBI domestic activities,
that it is almost impossible to ride the coincidence coat tails much
longer.
Just as pocket calculators add numbers faster, history's dates also put pieces of the puzzle into better perspective.
FACT 1 Social structures are rearranged by architects. Politica,
the game plan for overthrowing Salvador Allende's elected government in
Chile was arranged by Abt. Associates, Cambridge, Mass., in 1965.
Abt. was a front for the Pentagon and CIA. They had another plan titled Camelot.
Was Camelot the military answer to future dissent in America that would
follow other necessary assassinations? The war in Vietnam escalated
Nov. 24, 1963, with no known provocation from North Vietnam. It was only
a matter of time before the natives at home would find out what was
happening, before Norman Mailer would be writing "Why are We in
Vietnam?"
FACT 2 In 1972, at time the Watergate, E. Howard
Hunt was employed by the White House to forge secret State Department
papers. The sole purposes of this procedure was to distort history and
make the late President Kennedy responsible for the assassination of Ngo
Dinh Diem, president of South Vietnam. There would be attempts to blame
Kennedy for the assassination plot against Fidel Castro, in spite of
massive evidence to the contrary.
For all who remembered Kennedy
kindly, who complained about his assassination, history was being
arranged with a scissors and scotch tape.
Kennedy would come out a scummy killer himself.
This
wasn't taking place in some strange office, or dark cellar, but in the
same White House offices where Nixon was screaming "Manson did it."
If President Nixon went to so much trouble to identify murder with an
innocent man like Kennedy, there is every reason to believe his hatred
of anti-war hippies and their folk-rock musicians could also be
identified with murder. Make them all look violent. Bring it all down.
FACT 3 In 1969, the combined agencies of the CIA, Army, and FBI,
were put into full operational use. The Sharon Tate-La Bianca murders
happened August, 1969.
The Altamont violence and filmed movie was Dec. 6, 1969.
CIA The CIA prepared for defense against American youth unrest in 1965, the same year as Camelot and Politica.
With full knowledge of their illegal activities, they joined forces with the CIA and the Army.
By August 1967, Special Operations group went after the youth. By July,
1968, Operation Chaos, identical to Chilean "Chaos," went after the
"Restless Youth." This wasn't a study. It was an attack.
Mid-summer of 1969, one month before the Manson Family massacres,
Operation Chaos went into the most tight security of any assignment ever
accomplished inside the CIA.
From 1956-63, they had perfected
enough LSD to cause every violent act or symptom associated with the
violence in Los Angeles or at Altamont.
It was identical to
giving poison candy at Halloween. LSD was the moving force, the cause
for the Sharon Tate-La Bianca slaughters. It was fed at the Spahn ranch
for a steady diet.
LSD was the moving force behind Altamont
killing and violence Dec. 6, 1969. Thousands of tablets were distributed
to the Hell's Angels, who then went totally berserk and started
cracking skulls.
FBI May, 1964, after the JFK assassination, the FBI formed their COINTELPRO, counterintelligence program.
July, 1968, explicit orders went out to proceed, accompanied with
instructions, to neutralize segments of our society, including those
restless youth.
By 1969, the SSS, Special Services Staff of the FBI, combined with the Justice Department, and with CIA's Operation Chaos.
August, 1969, was the Sharon Tate-La Bianca slaughter.
December 6, 1969, was the Altamont concert of the Rolling Stones.
ARMY The Army began their chemical testing of LSD, the youth drug,
in 1956, the same year they were planning Politica and Camelot in
Cambridge, Mass.
Contracts for testing LSD and chemical agents continued through 1975.
January 21, 1969, the army reported "the LSD tests are rewarding. It is
recommended that the actual application of LSD be utilized in real
situations on an experimental basis."
Acid was distributed,
surreptitiously, to large masses of the population. It was the chemical
that was to link Helter Skelter and Gimme Shelter with blood and gore.
FACT 4 There is more to the creation of the Manson Family, and their direction than has yet been exposed.
There is more to the making of the movie Gimme Shelter than has been explained.
This saga has inter-connecting links to all the beautiful people Robert Hall was associated with.
The Manson Family and the Hell's Angels were instruments by which enemy
forces could attack and discredit hippies and critical American youth
who had dropped out of the establishment.
The violence came down from Neo-Nazi racists, adorned with Swastikas both in L.A. and in the Bay Area at Altamont.
The blame was placed on persons not even associated with the causes of death at all.
When it was all over, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were the
icing on this cake, this presentation, to rub musicians into a racist,
neo-nazi plot.
By rearranging the facts, cutting here and
there, distorting evidence, neighbors and family feared their own youth
wandering through the communities.
Charles Manson made the cover of Life, with those wide eyes, like Rasputin.
Charles Watson didn't make the cover. Why not? He participated in all
the killings. Manson wasn't inside the house. Because Manson played a
guitar and made records. Watson didn't.
Charles Watson was too
busy taking care of matters, at the lawyer's office prior to the
killings, or with officials of the Young Republicans.
What were
Watson's protections in Texas, where he remained until his separate
trial prevented him from being psychologically linked to all the deaths
he actually committed?
"Pigs" was written in Sharon Tate's
house in blood. Was this to make blacks become targets and suspects for
stalking white territory?
Credit cards of the La Bianca family
were purposely deposited in the black ghetto after their massacre. The
intention was to stir racial fears and hatred.
Who wrote the
first article, "Did Hate Kill Tate?", blaming the Black Panthers for the
murders? Army intelligence agent Ed Butler, Lee Harvey Oswald's old pal
from New Orleans. They made a record together so that Oswald could pass
himself off as a Marxist. Another deception.
Glasses were left on the floor of Sharon Tate's home the day of the murder. They were never identified.
Who moved all the bodies after the killers left and before the police arrived?
The Spahn ranch wasn't a hippie commune. It bordered the Krupp ranch,
and has now been combined and incorporated to make a German Bavarian
beer garden. Howard Hughes knew George Spahn. He went to this ranch
daily while making The Outlaw.
Howard Hughes bought the 516
acres of Krupp property in Nevada after he moved into that territory.
What about Altamont? What distortions and untruths forced that movie?
Why did Mick Jagger order "the concert must go on"?
There was a demand the filmmakers be allowed to catch this concert. It couldn't have happened the same in any other state.
The Hell's Angels had a long working relationship with some of the law enforcement, particularly in the Oakland area.
They
became heroes of the S. F. Chronicle and other papers when they
physically assaulted the dirty anti-war hippies protesting the shipment
of arms to Vietnam.
The laboratory for choice LSD, the kind
brought to England for the Stones, came from the Bay Area and could be
consumed easily by this crowd attending their free love-in.
Persons at the concert said there was "a compulsiveness to the event." It had to take place.
Melvin
Belli, Jack Ruby's lawyer, made the legal arrangements. Ruby had
complained that Belli had prohibited him from telling the full story on
why he killed Lee Harvey Oswald. (another media event) There are so many
layers of cover-up, and there are just so many persons whose names
reappear, only in different scripts.
Sen. Philip Hart, a member
of the Senate Committee investigating illegal intelligence operations
inside the USA, claimed that his children were telling him all these
things were happening. He had refused to believe them. The Senator felt
it was his obligation to defend his country rather than look at the
evidence.
November 18, 1975, Sen. Hart realized matters were not
only out of hand, but that the past has to be made believable in order
to prevent the same things happening over and over again.
The
trick now is for this committee to be able to figure out how to
persuade the people of this country that indeed it will go on. And how
shall we insure that it will never happen again? But it will happen
repeatedly, unless we can bring ourselves to understand and accept that
it did go on.
Senate Hearings, Vol. 6, p. 41
Meanwhile, it
still does go on. Flo and Eddie, the musical group formed after the
Turtles, had to cancel their fully booked one year tour of the U.S. and
Britain.
Their lead guitarist either fell or was pushed from a ninth-floor hotel room of the Salt Lake City Hilton.
First notice of this murder appeared November 9, 1976, in a small column from the S.F. Chronicle.
John Austin wrote "the accident has not yet been reported, as the gendarmes are trying to keep the lid on it."
A few days before, their manager, Jim Taylor, was threatened.
There were hints the syndicate might be taking over the pop music business.
Was that the next process, once the counter-culture was removed?
