... note from William Waldegrave's office in the Cabinet Office assuring me of the same thing. Finally, after another two months, I received the following letter from Graham Pearson, the Director of CBDE, dated October 7. 7 October 1993 Dear Dr Victorian, Your letter to the Prime Minister concerning your research project into the use of the hallucinogenic drug lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) has been passed to me to reply as Chief Executive of the Chemical and Biological Defence Establishment. We have checked our records and have found no trace of your letter of 1 March 1993 although we book in all letters and I would certainly have sent you an acknowledgement. My reply only covers research work ...

... emanated a hologram which, 'complete with sound, unfold[ed] the mysteries of the past and the present and of other worlds.' There is also the second part of a long piece by Uri Dowbenko, now working with Steamshovel, who is making another attempt at a sort of Christic Institute mega conspiracy theory about the CIA and drugs. It includes what purports to be an affidavit from the Reagan-era Director of the CIA William Casey. (To me it appears the most obvious forgery.) In this, amidst a sprinkling of punctuation and spelling errors which are apparently in the original, 'Casey' alleges that former DCIA William Colby, 'candidly informed me [Casey] ...

... Thatcher deals. Mark was a young guy, but these were the go-go 80s and his mother was Prime Minister and he figured he could do whatever he wanted. I have a picture of him with Oliver North. I mean, he got very involved with us at one time. He liked the fast life. He liked to do drugs. He was big into racing cars. He liked women and he raised money for us among loyal Tories in England. That money would then get funnelled through Churchill Matrix, until it later became revealed what Churchill Matrix was doing- vis-a-vis illicit and illegal armaments shipments in the Middle East.'

... group in 1965 up to and including a crazy bomb-maker in California; taking acid (one bad trip); radical (i.e. unpaid or barely paid) journalism in Washington and California; and a little petty crime. This is the 'alternative society' of the time- or a version of it- but Blum's obsessions are politics not drugs or rock music. Somehow Blum got a nasty- on the evidence of this book- a terminal dose of the desire to look the reality of American foreign policy in the face. In 1972 he ditched everything and travelled overland through Central and South America to Chile to see Allende's revolution. The chapter on Chile powerfully conveys a sense ...

... Meyer before.) The picture illustrates the second part of a long essay entitled 'The High and the Mighty: JFK, MPM, LSD and the CIA', the first part of which appeared in Steamshovel Press Number Nine. The two pieces are a reworking of some of the information we have on that fuzzy, hearsay-laden area in which drugs (especially psychedelics), the intelligence agencies and mind control programmes overlapped. In the second part the author, Greg Krupey, reminds us of the claims made by Timothy Leary in his memoir Flashbacks that Mary Meyer was part of a group of what the Krupey calls 'psychedelic amazons'-- women in the Washington elite-- who ...

... . Each unit had freedom of association and during the day the men wandered in and out of each others' cells. Peter Jordan was beyond the age where he would be expected to work. Our conversations were affable. I took him fresh fruit which he was allowed to eat only during the visit (in case they were impregnated with drugs!) He showed sincerity and loyalty to his own beliefs-- which I did not share-- and did not try to help himself into an early release. In 1988 he sent a long letter to The Starry Plough, the paper of the Irish Republican Socialist Party, the political wing of INLA, which he signed 'In ...

... J. Anslinger and United States's narcotic foreign policy 1930-62 Douglas Clark Kinder and William D. Walter in Journal of American History, March 1986 This makes an interesting companion piece to pp2/3 of the P.D. Scott essay in Lobster 12. Anslinger was the primary originator of the basic US foreign policy move of accusing your enemies of running drugs into the otherwise innocent bodies of the US citizenry (China, Cuba, Nicaragua), while allowing your political allies (KMT, anti-Castro Cubans, Contras) to fund-raise by dope-dealing. This essay focuses on Anslinger as manipulator of Congress, media and the American public, rather than the content of his anti-communist bullshit or his acquiescence in ...
