Documentation


In the last post, A Terrible Mistake? I referred to the US Military and CIA's experimentation with LSD in the early 50's as a potential weapon. The article is about the use of an aerosol LSD spray on a test on a village in Southern France, to see what would happen. 
I had a comment saying that this must have been part of bigger program. Well it was and it was documented at the time and fortunately, the documentation still exists.
Here is a short excerpt from a British documentary which has footage from an American propaganda newsreel film from the early 50's. The footage shows the "effects" on LSD on soldiers and then goes on to brag on the development of an aerosol for tactical use.

Isn't it amazing to realize now what our 'wonderful' Pentagon was really doing years back? How pitiful. If anyone collected an entire book of what we 'did' to 'defend' this nation, it would be banned for its horrific content.

I wonder if they are using this on members of the far right.

"Yeahhhh, more guns, less crime. The answer to mass shootings is to get more guns out there."

"Health care reform is socialist, we want people going broke from their diseases."
