Smudge for the winAs we proceed through the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. 

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Seconded; curious to hear more. Although I assume this has to do with Monarch, and Ultra, and Esalen and Midnight Climax and whatnot. A well marketed, drug fueled party would attract all kinds of people nobody would note as missing, later.

I think the SF Summer of Love was mostly organic but lots of threads set it in motion.

- The return of a lot of G.I.s to nearby Travis Air Force Base as well as Alameda and Moffett Naval aviation stations with luggage loaded with heroin, weed, and raging PTSD cases from the 1st two years of the USA's Viet Nam War combat ramp-up. I'd never seen multiple young draft-age men passed out in the streets of SF until that summer of 1967.

- the L.A. and N.Y music labels were actively suppressing "drug" songs but they got through and started to became the "new cool" big thing that summer. The Monterey Pop Festival mid-June 1967 opened with the business suit clad music sales chart topping "The Association" but their set was not filmed by the festival organizer Lou Adler for his brand new non-profit "foundation." He was supposedly running that festival to find "new" young (and contractually dumb) acts he could put under his management contracts to make more money for himself. His leading top acts' board of directors (seated to recruit new artists and make money selling the festival film) included board members Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys riding the wave of his "Good Vibrations" song and Paul McCartney of the Beatles who both declined to perform and be filmed. They both smelled a $-rat in Lou when he did a bait-n-switch creating his non-profit foundation at nearly the last minute. Instead, the big new acts were the new "wild" children of Jimi Hendrix (who then toured as an opening act that summer for the Monkees), Jefferson Airplane of SF, Janis Joplin, The Who, etc. "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" was commissioned by Lou Adler and released in mid-May to promote his Monterey festival. An American pop music song, written by John Phillips of Lou's managed studio group, the Mamas & Papas, who had won a Grammy that Spring for another song, many think in a bribery scandal. Flowers in Your Hair was a world hit for much of that summer.

- 1965-1974 the Viet Nam War was a cash cow bonanza for the military/industrial complex, much of it centered around aerospace contracts written at the Los Angeles Air Force Base. Was the stuffed-with-antennas US Air Force Lookout Mountain facility by Laurel Canyon part of any mind-control experiments? Who knows. Track the patents of 5G. Go down a rabbit hole seeing what jobs the father of Frank Zappa had as Frank wrote his songs living in Laurel Canyon bashing the estabishment from the L.A./N.Y. news & entertainment scene to the U.S. government. Check out where The Door's Jim Morrison's father was when the Gulf of Tonkin incident happened (Hint: he was the US Navy Fleet Admiral floating on the Gulf at the time.) Or how close nearby lived the LSD proponent Aldous Huxley who was deep into the Stanford mind control studies funded by the CIA. Check out his brother Julian Huxley's connections to world government efforts. Every time I read Aldous' "Brave New World" book with his dreams of populace control by allowing only test tube babies and all regularly swallowing Soma pills I think of the Summer of Love gone haywire and Aldous dying voluntarily from an LSD pverdose right below the Hollywood sign by Laurel Canyon in 1963.

- USA made recreational use of LSD illegal by 1966 after Sandoz company's patent for it expired in 1963. Easy to cook up in any lab. What do many teens and many others not yet fully mental adults love to do? Tweak the noses of their parents. And, if LSD really does open a door to amazing and real ESP trips, well, who am I to argue with its recreational use? Add the Viet Nam War insanity with one year tours of duty "in country" and ex-Motor City executive McNamara thinking he could win that war on statistics and data crunching, and suddenly - how convenient - "ignore" those wild drugged up hippies political line which emerged by Summer 1967 to keep that war and its profit streams going full steam ahead. Thus, I suspect all these factors congealed to create the counter-culture Summer of Love 1967.

P.S. Check out who was one of the very first rent paying tenants at the newly demilitarized SF Presidio Army fort: the newly deposed Gorbachov who had ben lead around California by an Esalen executive on his first fundraising trip through California collecting cash for his new "foundation. Folowo the money every time to understand big world events, especially the dark money.
