Drugs, Popular Kulture & Mind Control

( “Turn on, tune in, drop out.” Was Tim Leary a CIA agent?)

by Henry Makow Ph.D
(Revises CIA Created the Drug Culture, from 2005)

David Livingstone’s article yesterday, Was Surveillance the Purpose of the Internet? made me revisit the question of how the CIA controls culture, and how the Illuminati see virtual reality in Cabalistic terms.

When I met Timothy Leary in 1990, I was disillusioned. I had contacted him
through his publisher and he phoned me. I went to LA especially to see him. He was my guru. I wanted to know
if the utopian vision he represented was still alive.

CIA AGENT?

Had Leary been working for the CIA when he preached the mantra “Turn on, tune in drop out?”

In his autobiography,
“Flashbacks” (1983), Leary credits Cord Meyer, the CIA executive in
charge of funding the counter culture with “helping me to
understand my political cultural role more clearly.” In the book “Mass Control” by Jim Keith, Leary admits to being a “witting accomplice” of the CIA.

Elsewhere
he says the “Liberal CIA” is the “best mafia you can deal with in the
Twentieth Century.”  Leary clearly was working for the CIA but was also doing
what he wanted-turning on.

According to Reibling, Mary Pinchot Meyer, (Cord Meyer’s ex-wife and JFK’s mistress) told Leary, “the CIA creates the radical journals and student organizations and runs them with deep-cover agents…. dissident organizations in academia are also controlled.”

She confides that CIA has not only been running left-wing groups as fronts, but has been sponsoring more psychedelic research than he will ever know.

“You are doing exploratory work the CIA tried to do in the 1950s. So they’re more than happy to have you do their research for them. Since drug research is of vital importance to the intelligence agencies of this country, you’ll be allowed to go on with your experiments as long as you keep it quiet,” she said.

POP CULTURE CONTRIVED TO CONTROL

After working for Civil Rights in the 1960′s, I joined the rising crescendo of anti-war activity when the CIA-controlled mass media gave the signal.

Although
it was another ten years before I tried marijuana, I experienced the
“Summer of Love” hitchhiking across Canada in 1967. Maybe it was time to
“hang loose” and focus on personal things. The 1970′s became the “Me
Decade.”

MIND EXPANDING DRUGS

Although
I have not taken LSD, I embraced the utopian vision of Timothy
Leary and Aldous Huxley. They believed that “mind expanding” drugs could
provide a genuine visionary experience and release mankind’s spiritual
potential. In experiments, theology students had life changing
revelations; alcoholics were cured. For millennia, many cultures have
used drugs to promote spirituality.

In Mexico, Leary took magic mushrooms. The experience convinced him the normal mind was “a static repetitive circuit.”

“It
was above all and without question the deepest religious experience of
my life.  I discovered that beauty, revelation, sensuality, the cellular
history of the past, God, the devil, all lie inside my body, outside my
mind.”

This LSD-fueled vision of utopia was put into practice
at the highest levels of the US government. In 1963, Cord Meyer’s
estranged wife Mary Pinchot Meyers was having an affair with President
John F. Kennedy who had embraced LSD. Mary approached Leary for supplies
and advice. She and her friends were turning on “some of the most
powerful men in Washington.”

In Dec. 1963, Meyer called Leary and
said they killed JFK because “they couldn’t control him anymore. He was
changing too fast. They’ve covered everything up. I’m afraid. Be
careful.” In Oct. 1964, she was murdered by the CIA.

 CONCLUSION

In the 1950′s, the CIA experimented with marijuana and LSD as “truth drugs.”

A decade later, in the 1960′s, they used them to divert idealistic Americans from the path of social responsibility to one of introspection and self-gratification, i.e. “spiritual liberation.” They neutralized my generation by turning social activists into “flower children” advocating “peace and love.”

We are marionettes. The environment, fe-manism, diversity, you name it. The bankers are pulling our strings. In the case of the drug culture, they made us self absorbed and quiescent. They didn’t expect many of us to find God.

I still believe that marijuana and LSD can awaken our spiritual dimension. They are truth drugs. I am confident that the widespread use of marihuana will backfire on the Illuminati and expose them for what they really are, control freaks, psychotics and megalomaniacs
