Chapter
12:
BRAVE
NEW WORLD
ORDER
Beginning about
1950, an ambitious
project was launched
by Tavistock for the
massive LSD intoxication
of the population
of the United States.
Aldous Huxley, who
spearheaded the Tavistock LSD
project, was the
grandson of Thomas
H. Huxley, one of
the founders of
the Rhodes Round
Table group. Huxley had been tutored by H.G. Wells, that
vocal proponent of the Open Conspiracy,
and was a
long term collaborator
with Arnold Toynbee, a fifty-year
member of the RIIA council, as well as the head
of the British
intelligence Research Division. To
grasp Toynbee's politics, in
1971 he stated
that a Bolshevik dictatorship of
the world was
necessary before a
benevolent one world order could
be instituted.
The new
Tavistock project was
intended to inject
a euphoria- producing chemical
on a widespread
basis in America.
Huxley's purposes in the
dissemination of LSD
in the United
States may have been betrayed in
the following statement:
"Now let us
consider another kind
of drug—still undiscovered, but
probably just around
the corner—a drug capable of making
people happy in situations where
they would normally feel
miserable. Such a drug would
be a blessing,
but a blessing fraught
with grave political
dangers. By making
a harmless chemical euphoric
freely available, a dictator could reconcile an
entire population to a state of
affairs to which
self- respecting human beings ought not to be reconciled..." [1]
Elsewhere, Huxley
stated it more
succinctly: "There will be in
the next generation
or so, a
pharmacological method of making
people love their
servitude, and producing...
a kind of painless concentration camp for entire
societies." [2]
Finally, if
there is any
doubt about Huxley's
beliefs, in Brave New World Revisited he stated, "The twenty-first
century... will be
the era of the
World Controllers... The older
dictators fell because
they could never supply their subjects with enough
bread, enough circuses, enough
miracles and mysteries.
Under a scientific
dictatorship education will really
work—with the result
that most men
and women will grow up to love their servitude and willnever dream of revolution.
There seems to
be no good
reason why a thoroughly scientific
dictatorship should ever
be overthrown.'' [3]
The decadent
Huxley had been a member
of the Children
of the Sun, a
British drug and
homosexuality cult whose
roster of members illustrates
a number of
ideologies shared by
British one-world elitists at
that time and
now. Among the
other members of the
group were the
Nazi-sympathetic Prince of Wales,
later to be Edward VIII;
fascist Sir Oswald
Mosely; the Mitford sisters
(one the wife
of Mosley, the
other a bedmate
of Hitler); George Orwell,
British intelligence agent
and the author of
1984. (Orwell's 1984
is usually cited
as a protest
against totalitarian
socialism, but in
fact Orwell himself
was a socialist who
was protesting, as
he said, certain
excesses that had
taken place in Russia).
Other members
of the Children
of the Sun
included Huxley's homosexual
lover, author D.H. Lawrence, and Guy Burgess, Soviet spy and
member of the Apostles communist
homosexualconclave at Cambridge
(dubbed "a homosexual
Freemasonry"), that
spawned a Soviet
spy cabal at the highest
levels of British intelligence.
Another member
of the Apostles
was the famous
Reilly, "Ace of Spies,"
a bisexual who—according to
Reilly biographer Robin Bruce
Lockhart—set up the
Soviet spy group
at Trinity College, Cambridge through
which Western intelligence
was massively compromised. Members
of this group
included spies Anthony Blunt, Burgess,
Maclean, and others.
Reilly's view may be
gauged by a
letter he wrote
to Lockhart's father
on the topic of "Bolshevism":
"I believe
that... it is
bound by a
process of evolution
to conquer the world,
as Christianity and
the ideas of the
French Revolution have done
before it... and
that nothing—least of all
violent reactionary forces—can
stem its ever-rising tide... the much
decried and so
little understood 'Soviets'
which are the outward
expression of Bolshevism
as applied to
practical government, are the
nearest approach I
know of, to
a real democracy based upon true
social justice and
that they may be
destined to lead
the world to
the highest ideal
of statesmanship—Internationalism." [4]
Huxley had
earlier collaborated with
Major John Rawlings Rees of the Tavistock Institute, and
with cultural anthropologist Bronislaw
Malinowski in a
project dubbed "Mass
Observation." This was an
anthropological survey of the British
Isles, patterned after similar surveys of primitive cultures. [5]
Although Huxley
had personally used
drugs—there are rumors that he
was initiated in
the use of opium by
Aleister Crowley in Berlin
in the 1920s—he
was introduced to
the hallucinogen mescaline in
1952 by family
friend and CIA-funded
Dr. Humphrey Osmond. Huxley
came to the
U.S. accompanied by Osmond, who was immediately ushered into
Dulles' MKULTRA. Huxley, Osmond, and
the University of
Chicago's Robert Hutchins immediately
began planning for a mescaline project to be
funded by the Ford Foundation,
although this project
was later called off due to objections from the head ofthe foundation. [6]
In 1953,
one month after
the creation of
MKULTRA, Huxley was given
LSD by Osmond.
Huxley was overwhelmed
by "the most extraordinary
and significant experience
this side of the
Beatific Vision." Although
Huxley was perhaps
a sincere advocate of
the mysticism-inducing properties
of LSD, the sociopolitical implications of the drug
did not escape him.Huxley prepared the
American population for
LSD with articles like
"The Doors of
Perception," and sponsored
a project at Stanford
University where students
were dosed with hallucinogenics. Two
of Huxley's early
acid collaborators were Alan
Watts, who popularized
his own brand
of Zen satori
based on a quart
of gin a day, and
Gregory Bateson, who
had been an anthropologist with
the OSS, and
who started an LSD
clinic at the Palo
Alto Veterans Administration Hospital
in California.
Huxley was
also in contact
with MKULTRA heavyweight Dr. Louis Jolyon West. [7]
Huxley was
to be the
first director of
the United Nations Economic, Social,
and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO), whose constitution was
written by Bonesman
Archibald McLeash. UNESCO has
been a major
phalanx in the
New World Order program, advocating
the "appropriate technology" of windmills and solar
power rather than
industry for the
Third World, and mass sterilization drives implemented in
those same countries.
Huxley collaborator
Keith Ditman provided
author Ken Kesey with
an unlimited supply
of LSD, and
it was from
this small group that
arose Kesey's guerrilla theatrical
Merry Pranksters and the Grateful
Dead, a rock
band that still
commands a large cultic
following after the
demise of its
leader. According to a 1968 FBI
memorandum, Jerry Garcia,
the leader of
the Grateful Dead, was employed
"to channel youth dissent and rebellion into more benign and
non-threatening directions." [8]
A collaborator
with Huxley in the acid
infusion of the
world was the spy,
Captain Alfred M. Hubbard,
who had given
up American citizenship for
Canadian prior to
World War II. Characterized as
a "mystery man"
by those who
knew him, and as
a veritable "Johnny
Appleseed of LSD"
in most studies,
his verified background is informative.
Hubbard was
"a high-level OSS
officer" who acted
as a money conduit to
a large number
of European spy
operations, and who directed
the large scale
smuggling of weapons
to Great Britain prior
to Pearl Harbor.
He also worked
for the Treasury Department, the
Federal Narcotics bureau,
and the Food
and the Drug Administration. Hubbard
is said to
have worked with the Mafia—actually, sometimes
the differentiation between
these organizations is tenuous—being
"able to ingratiate
himself with both sides
during Prohibition," according
to one history
of the period. At
one time he
became deputy chief
of security for
the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas.
Hubbard was
the first large
scale distributor of
LSD to the world,
reportedly amassing the
world's largest stockpile
of the drug outside
of the CIA,
and crossing and
re-crossing the North American continent
like a mysterious
Rosicrucian of old, giving LSD to anyone and everyone who was
willing to take it.
Osmond and
Hubbard participated in a program
to give political leaders
in America LSD—without
severing his connections and
ongoing projects with
various intelligence agencies. Although
the details of this program
are secret, an associate
of Hubbard's has
said that it
"affected the thinking
of the political leadership
of North America." Participants
in the program included
a prime minister,
UN representatives, members of British
parliament, and assistants to heads of state.Hubbard, oddly
enough retaining a
staunchly conservative bent throughout
his proselytizing and
distribution of LSD,
led raids for the FDA on LSD labs characterized by his apologists as being run
by "rebel chemists." Imagine,
a rebel chemist
having the audacity to make LSD.
One associate
of Hubbard's was
New World Order
theorist Willis Harmon of
the Stanford Research
Institute. SRI had earlier
received grants from
the U.S. Army
to research chemical incapacitants. When
visited by a
representative of the underground press
at SRI in the early 1970s,
Harmon told the man, "There's
a war going
on between your
side and mine.
And my side is not going to lose."
In 1968 Harmon invited
Hubbard to join the Stanford Research Institute
as a "special
investigative agent." According to
Harmon, "Our investigations of some of
the current social movements affecting
education indicate that
the drug usage prevalent among
student members of
the New Left
is not entirely undesigned.
Some of it appears to
be present as a deliberate weapon
aimed at political
change. We are concerned with assessing the significance
of this as it impacts on matters of long-range
educational policy. In
this connection it
would be advantageous to
have you considered
in the capacity of
a special investigative agent
who might have access to relevant data
which is not ordinarily
available." Perhaps it is
my cynicism that
gives the above paragraph a decided tongue-in-cheek quality.
Hubbard took
on the job
for SRI, which
lasted through the 70s, at $100 per day. The most
high profile of all LSD proponents
was, of course, counterculture hero
Timothy Leary. Leary
met Aldous Huxley at Stanford
University and became his
protege. While at the
University of California from 1953-56, and employedby the U.S. Public Health
Service from 1954-58,
Leary received grants
for his research from NIMH.
Leary subsequently
was appointed as a lecturer
at Harvard, where he was noticed
by Dr. Harry Murray, who was in charge of the
Personality Assessments department
of the OSS
during World War II.
Although Leary and
his biographers tiptoe
around the matter, funding
for his drug experiments while
at Harvard came from
the CIA, substantiated
by the following
quote from Walter Bowart,
in the second
edition of his
Operation Mind Control:
"...At first
he denied that
any of his
psychedelic research
projects at Harvard
were funded by the government.
Yet when I finally
sat with him
face-to-face after Operation
Mind Control had been
published (1979), and naively asked
him if he was 'witting'
or 'unwitting' of
his collaboration with
the CIA, Leary answered with:
'Who would you work for,
the Yankees or the Dodgers? I mean who was I supposed to work
for, the KGB?'" [9]
Leary first
administered LSD to
prison inmates at the
Massachusetts Correctional Institute, at
Concord. Money for
the project came from
the Uris Brothers
Foundation in New
York City, and was
doled out by
Harvard to Leary.
The results of Leary's
Concord experiments were published
in a 1962
paper titled, "How to Change Behavior."
The man
who some have
called Leary's "guru" and
who Leary himself acknowledged as
being a British intelligence agent was Michael
Hollingshead, a friend
of Huxley's who
had worked for the
British Cultural Exchange
and had acquired
a gram of
LSD, enough of the
chemical for 10,000
trips. Hollingshead, dispatched
by Huxley, was the man who turned Leary on to acid.
According to
one account of the period,
"Not knowing quite where
to turn, he
latched onto Hollingshead
as his guru.
Leary followed him around
for days on end, treating
the Englishman with awe.
He was convinced
that this pot-bellied,
chain smoking prankster whose
face was pink-veined
from alcohol was a messenger from the Good Lord
Himself."
Hollingshead later
turned on most
of the English
rock music scene to
acid. While in
Wormswood Scrubs prison
in England for 21
months for possession
of hashish, Hollingshead
made the acquaintance of
George Blake, a convicted agent
of the KGB. Hollingshead guided
Blake in an LSD session,
and a few weeks
later the spy escaped from the prison and fled to Moscow. [10]
Leary and
Richard Alpert (later,
Baba Ram Dass,
after that plain Ram
Dass) were fired
from Harvard in
1963—Alpert for giving acid
to an undergraduate, Leary
for missing a
committee meeting—although
the duo then
carried on their
research in Mexico. Expelled
from Mexico, they
moved their base of operations to
Millbrook, New York,
where Leary unveiled
his acid guru persona to the millions in the hippie movement.
Mary Pinchot
Meyer, a longtime
friend of Leary,
ex-wife of top CIA agent Cord
Meyer, and a mistress of JFK, told Leary that, "dissident organizations
in academia are...
being controlled. The CIA
creates the radical
journals and student
organizations and runs them
with deep cover
agents." Although this
was difficult for Leary
to believe, no
doubt causing him
to think that Meyer was
a paranoid conspiracy
freak, the statement
was confirmed for him
by an article
in the February
1967 Ramparts magazine, detailing CIA
funding and control
of the National
Student Association. [11]
A major
Leary benefactor was
stockbroker William Mellon Hitchcock, heir
to the Gulf Oil
fortune and nephew
of Pittsburgh financier Andrew
Mellon. Hitchcock turned
over Millbrook, a 4,000
acre estate in
Dutchess County, New
York to Leary's International Federation
for Internal Freedom.
Aside from their ranking among the rich and famous, the Mellon family has many connections to the American
intelligence community, and
Mellon family foundations
have frequently been
used as conduits for CIA money. Several
members of the family were members of the OSS, and Richard Helms was a frequent
guest of the Mellons while he was CIA
director. [12]
According to
one account of the period,
"Billy Hitchcock, the millionaire padrone,
never really entered
into the close camaraderie of
the Millbrook circle,"
but still maintained
close contact with his
old friends, brokers
and bankers and
investors. Sympathetic accounts of
the period are
generally blind to the
more arcane political
underpinnings of the
acid era, but in this one the authors wonder, "Was he
simply a millionaire acid buff, a wayward son of the ruling class
who dug Leary's trip? Or did he
have something else up his sleeve?"
Hitchcock, by
my lights, had
plenty up his
sleeve. He was an
associate of Bernie
Cornfeld and Seymour
("The Head") Lazare, directors of the Swiss-based Investors Overseas Services (IOS), a money laundry for the Mafia, Third World
dictators,and the CIA. When a financial
shortage was perceived
at IOS, their
assets were transferred to
Robert Vesco, whose
network of corporations are
alleged to have
been a CIA
front by William Spector, a former CIA operative.
Hitchcock was
also the single
largest investor in
the Meyer Lansky-linked Resorts
International, which in
1970 evolved a private
intelligence operation known
as Intertel, sprung
from the same FBI
Division Five and
British intelligence nexus as Permindex,
the umbrella corporation
that apparently ran the John
F. Kennedy hit.
These connections will
be explored later in this book. [13]
Another of
Hitchcock's associates was
Ronald Hadley Stark, who appeared
on the psychedelic
scene in 1969
with yet another scheme
to turn the
entire world onto
LSD. Stark was one
more "mystery man,"
with a number
of cover stories
and a seemingly unending
bankroll for travelling
and maintaining an opulent
lifestyle. He boasted
that he worked
for the CIA,
and there is no reason to doubt him in this matter.
Stark financed
a lab in
Belgium that was
the single largest underground manufacturing
source for LSD at that
time. He was seen
at the student
uprising in Paris
in 1968, and
was also present at
the student demonstrations and
labor strikes in
Milan in 1969. In
the 1970s he
lived a posh
lifestyle in Italy, hobnobbing with
Sicilian Mafiosi, espionage
agents of various coloration, and terrorists.
Stark was
arrested by Italian
police in Bologna
in 1975, carrying what was
suspected to be a vial of LSD, a key to
a safe deposit box containing
documents on the
manufacture of acid, and friendly
letters from a
foreign service officer at
the American embassy in
London addressed to
Stark's LSD lab in Belgium.
While in
prison in Pisa,
Stark arranged to
inform on Renato curcio of the Red Brigades, telling of
a plot to assassinate Judge
Francesco Coco of
Genoa, who was
going to preside
over a trial of
fifty Red Brigadesmen.
In June of
1976 Judge Coco
was murdered, as Stark
had foretold. Another
possible victim of the
Red Brigades was
Italian premier Aldo
Moro. Information on Stark's
involvement with this
murder would later
surface, as well as
testimony linking Stark
to a PLO
plan to launch
terrorist attacks on government embassies.
Transferred to
a jail in
Bologna, Stark was
the recipient of regular
visits from British
and American consulates,
members of the Italian
secret service, and
the Libyan diplomatic
corps. Stark was also
in close contact
with General Vito
Miceli, who at the
time was on
the CIA payroll.
It is interesting
that the American government
never attempted to
extradite Stark, who was wanted on drug charges in the United
States.
In June
1978 a Bologna
magistrate, Graziano Gori,
was assigned to investigate
Stark and his
astounding web of associates. A
few weeks later,
Gori was killed
in a car wreck. Later,
Stark was charged
with "armed banditry" for
his connections to terrorist
activities, but he
was released from prison
in April 1979
on the orders
of Judge Giorgio Floridia. The reason
for Floridia's order,
according to the
judge, was "an impressive series
of scrupulously enumerated
proofs" that Stark was CIA.
By the
late 1960s the
supply of ergotamine,
one of the ingredients of
LSD, had pretty
well dried up.
Synchronistically, in 1964 Dow
Chemical Company provided
samples of the
vastly more potent STP
to the US
Army Chemical Corps
at Edgewood Arsenal. According
to one chronicle
of the period,
"In early 1967, for
some inexplicable reason,
the formula for STP
was released to the
scientific community at
large... Shortly thereafter the
drug was circulating
in the hippie
districts of San Francisco
and New York."
That "inexplicable reason" may have been
hinted at in
one of the
thousands of CIA
MKULTRA documents that were
ordered shredded by
CIA director Richard Helms, a
classified manual titled
"LSD: Some Un-Psychedelic Implications".
Another drug
that
"inexplicably"
found its way
to the dealers, suddenly appearing
in quantity in
hippie conclaves around
the U.S., was PCP,
touted as being
synthetic marijuana, but which was
in fact "Angel
Dust." The army
had tested PCP
on soldiers at Edgewood
Arsenal in the
late 1950s, and
Dr. Ewen Cameron had used the
drug on his subjects in his MKULTRA torture garden. [14]
John Starr
Cooke was another
60s notable who
functioned as a guru
to some influentials
in the Haight
Ashbury scene. Cooke is
alleged to have
been a leading
Scientology operative and reportedly was
close to Scientology
founder L. Ron
Hubbard in the early
50s. According to one account,
Cooke was the
first Scientology
"Clear," although another
man, John McMasters, was the
person publicly touted
in this role
some years later—until he too had
a falling out with "the fat
boy" as he called Hubbard.
Cooke's sister was
married to Roger
Kent, a leading light
in the California
Democratic Party, whose
brother Sherman was head of the
CIA's National Board of Estimates, and
was CIA director Dulles' right
hand man during
the 50s. Cooke
is said to have regularly hobnobbed with other CIA
personnel.
From his
digs in Cuernavaca,
Mexico, Cooke sent
forth members of a
small group who
called themselves the Psychedelic Rangers,
imbued with the
mission of turning
on the world to
acid. Among persons
who visited Cooke
in Cuernavaca were Andrija
Puharich, who ran
drug experiments for the military in
the 1950s and
was a publicist
for the Israeli
spoon- bending psychic Uri
Geller; and the
wealthy Seymour ("The
Head") Lazare, an
associate of William
Mellon Hitchcock, and with
Bernie Cornfeld, a
director of the
Swiss-based Investors Overseas Service (IOS). [15]
A CIA
vampire hanging around
the acid scene
in the 60s
was the omnipresent—in mind
control programs—Louis Joly on
West, claimed to be
the overall coordinator
for all government
mind control programs. West,
like George Hunter
White before him, rented
a San Francisco
safehouse to "study
the hippies." One can only guess what kind of dirtywork he
was up to.
West has
been employed over
the years as
a hired gun to
promote whatever position
the CIA wants
promoted. After the Kennedy
assassination and the
murder of Oswald
by Jack Ruby, he
was interviewed and
not surprisingly dwelt
on Ruby's "lone nut" characteristics. On
the day of
the Oklahoma City
bombing, West went on
the Larry King
show to talk
about alleged bomberTim
McVeigh, again
characterizing him as one
more "lone nut," i.e. not involved in a conspiracy.
West again appears in an article in
Los Angeles magazine,
after the alleged
murder by O.J. Simpson
of Nicole Simpson,
a case rife
with inconsistencies and unexplained associated
murders that have
not been mentioned, much less
explained, by the
media. In the
article West invokes the
highly imaginative "Othello
Syndrome," where black
men kill their white spouses, due to their belief that"something must be wrong with
their Caucasian mates
lor seeking love beyond the racial pale." [16]
In the
acid-induced glow of the Flower
Generation there were dissenting
voices about the
LSD experience, even
famous ones. Some of
the members of
the earlier Beat
Generation—who later became icons
of the Flower
Generation—had doubts about the
usefulness of psychedelics,
seeing early on
that the drug could
be used as
for control as
well as liberation. William Burroughs—at one time
active in Scientology—was given acid by Leary
in Tangiers in
1961. He wrote
of his misgivings
about the drug in his book Nova
Express, published in 1964:
"At the
immediate risk of
finding myself the
most unpopular character of all
fiction—and history is fiction—I must say this:"Bring together
state of news—Inquire
onward from state
to doer—Who monopolized Immortality? Who monopolized Cosmic
Consciousness? Who monopolized
Love Sex and
Dream? Who monopolized Time,
Life and Fortune?
Who took from
you what is yours?
...Listen: Their Garden
of Delights is
a terminal sewer...Their Immortality
Cosmic Consciousness and
Love is second-run grade-B
shit... Stay out
of the Garden
of Delights... Throw back
their ersatz Immortality... Flush
their drug kicks down
the drain—they are
poisoning and monopolizing
the hallucinogenic
drugs—learn to make
it without any
chemical corn."
The poet
Allen Ginsberg's initial
reactions to LSD, administered to
him by Dr.
Charles Savage, who
had worked on hallucinogenic experiments
for the U.S.
Navy, were similar
to those of Burroughs.
Given acid in
a clinical environment
in Palo Alto, California, Ginsberg
said, "I thought that I was trapped
in a giant web or
network of forces
beyond my control
that were perhaps experimenting
with me or
were perhaps from
another planet or were
from some super-government or
cosmic military or science fiction Big Brother."
John Sinclair,
of the White
Panthers, was purged
of his belief in the
acid religion through
experience: "It makes
perfect sense to me. We thought
at the time
that as a
result of our
LSD- inspired activities great
things would happen.
And, of course, it didn't...
They were up
there moving that
shit [i.e. LSD] around. Down on the street, nobody knew what
was going on." Quite so. But
even now, the
identity of "they" has not been clarified. "They" apparently,
ultimately, was Tavistock.
