“The CIA have used drugs as weapons against Americans … to control people or pacify dissension against the official status quo-the government’s war policies. … We should not delude ourselves that U.S. Intelligence has repented and would never repeat these operations. … Many people still look at the rapid rise of the hallucinogenic use among these popular Sixties rock stars such as The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix as positive contributions – I don’t – to the Sixties idealism. It wasn’t about the world’s possibility for peace, love and global cooperation – that’s naïve. Nevertheless, we barely consider the possibility that such pacifist views were the intention of U.S. Intelligence agencies, and the CIA and it’s moneyed interests had a role in crating the Sixties subculture and [leading them to] dropping our and leaving behind radical dissent and protest. [Joh Potash has] covered so much inn [his] research … we appreciate his work”.
