    Publisher’s Foreword

    This is my story, for what it’s worth.
    A little advice, you know it never hurt.
    This world is so cruel, I hope you know what I mean.
    You’ve got to keep on the move, nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream.

    — Lowell Fulsom

    History stalks us constantly, coming from many directions, angles and attitudes. And as Henry L. Stimson said, “History is often not what actually happened but what is recorded as such.” As a member of a secret society, the Order of Skull & Bones, Stimson knew. He served six presidents, occupying positions such as US Attorney, Governor-General of the Philippines, Secretary of State and Secretary of War (twice).

    With A Memoir of Injustice, Jerry Ray and Tamara Carter expand our understanding of history, pointing away from the “recorded” version towards “what actually happened.”

    The official story of the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. has been heartily debunked in books, and in court decisions. But even with the King family supporting his innocence, the vital facts of James Earl Ray’s case have been strangely absent from mainstream exploration and discourse.

    Not because we aren’t curious, but by design. It is beneficial for some to let the discord of our ignorance and confusion fester.

    Lawyer and author Dr. William Pepper bluntly told me in 2005 that he had an open invitation to appear on the NBC’s Today show, as long as he didn’t bring up his two thought-provoking books that expose the lies and fallacies found within the official version of the King assassination.

    Given this reality, how can it be surprising that a February 2010 Zogby poll of likely voters declared that the news media is held in the least regard among American institutions, with only 21% of the population holding our fourth estate in “some” or a “lot” of confidence. The next lowest in esteem were labor unions, Wall Street, Big Banks and corporations. The poll results showed that twice as many trust the government as trust the news media. Yet, even with this amazing lack of public trust, the immense influence of our media continues.

    Whatever the reasons behind the media’s lack of candor, the effect is immensely deleterious to our republic, exasperating social anxieties, while cloaking corruption that decays our institutions, erodes our liberties and waylays our children.

    A Memoir of Injustice gives us a sibling’s view of, and insight into a national tragedy, and shows us the very real human consequences of being a brother to James Earl Ray. When caught in the cross hairs of history, destiny tugs in many directions, and many do not survive the onslaught of notoriety. Jerry Ray has felt the heat of the spotlight, but also has had the opportunity to reflect. He shares with us his good times, his bad times, his in-between times … and a fuller realization of what actually transpired in April 1968 in Memphis.

    Today the propaganda is thick, whipped up to a frothy pitch, serving as a disconcerted backdrop to everyday life. Can “we the people” survive, in any rational form? What will our children do? How will they live? The future is what we create.

    Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country. This is not a class. This is not an exercise. This is life, the real deal. Will we stand-up and take back our country from the crooks, cronies and cabals? We do not need violence, do not need partisanship, secular or religious. Simply, our Founding Fathers’ life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

    Time will tell…

  • PUBLISHER’S FOREWORD - Prosecution for Treason

    PUBLISHER’S FOREWORD

    The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habitsand opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitutean invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.

    — Edward Bernays, Propaganda, 1928

    Credibility is a condition of persuasion. Before you can make a man do what you say, you must make him believe what you say. A necessary condition for gaining his credence is that you do not permit him to catch you in lies.

    — Daniel Lerner, Sykewar, 1949

    Without a doubt, psychological warfare has proven its right to a place of dignity in our military arsenal.

    — Dwight Eisenhower, 1951

    We need a program of psycho-surgery and political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviatesfrom the given norm can be surgically mutilated. The individual maythink that the most important reality is his own existence, but this isonly his personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective. Mandoes not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberalorientation has great appeal. We must electrically control the brain.Some day armies and generals will be controlled by electrical stimulation of the brain.

    — Dr. Jose Delgado, c1955

    We live in a world not completely of our own making. As we get overwhelmed by the incessant sensory mediascape that transforms us into somnambulating zombies plodding through a tired script, there is something not right, something sticking in our craw. According to national-security maven Zbigniew Brzezinski, a “global political awakening” is underway: “The worldwide yearning for human dignity … is socially massive and politically radicalizing … the Internet is creating a community of shared perceptions…. These energies transcend sovereign borders and pose a challenge both to existing states as well as to the existing global hierarchy.”

    Brzezinski proposes “a world that is defined less by the fiction ofstate sovereignty and more by the reality of expanding and politicallyregulated interdependence.” Thus our common inheritance is to bethrown away in favor of transnational technocratic governance.

    Mary Maxwell’s Prosecution for Treason gives us a handbook for understanding our political heritage and responsibilities, including blueprints of how to regain our republic, restore our legacy and renew our society. No shrinking violet, Maxwell informs of us of many schemes being foisted upon us, — to tear us apart, get us to fight each other — even daring to discuss many of the unmentionable undercurrents of the modern age including mind-control, weather modification, and provoked pestilence.

    Prosecution for Treason is the first of a new TrineDay imprint, Credos Books, giving authors a wider platform than investigative works, allowing authors to give their views and beliefs about controversial  topics of the day and possibly on how to start turning our situation around.

    This book is a product of the Internet. I get calls all the time from all kinds of folks, truck drivers, housewives and PhDs, and they almost all start off the same: “I had no idea until I stumbled across something on the Internet.” And thus grows the global political awakening that Mr. Brzezinski is so worried about.

    I am very hopeful. Gutenberg’s press helped to spark mankind’s forward progress, and I feel that the Internet’s explosive power has just begun. We don’t need violent revolutions, we don’t need a new form of government. As Maxwell tells us, all we have to do to take back our country is to vote enough good people into office: local, state and national. We can prosecute the traitors, preserve our Republic and protect our children’s futures.

    Will we simply stand by, allowing faceless rule through regulations, or will we stand up to meet our day’s pressing civic challenge? It is a common struggle that merits our common courage.

  • Publisher’s Foreword - America's Nazi Secret

    Publisher’s Foreword

    And no matter what the progress
    Or what may yet be proved,
    The simple facts of life are such
    They cannot be removed.

    — Herman Hupfeld, As Time Goes By

    When I first came across The Belarus Secret, an earlier version of this book, in the 1980s at my public library, I was amazed at the revelations, and surprised to find some of the same characters that I had come across while researching a subject I call “CIA-drugs.” The same intelligence-community crew that was corrupting our Republic from the shadows … was also, and most egregiously, doing so from within.

    I had first heard of this cancer in the late 1960s from my father, an OSS/CIA veteran. But at that time I had no context within which to put his rare, frank discussions of how he felt the world really works. He spoke to me about the drug trade, about psychological warfare, propaganda and “big games.” He said the news wasn’t the real news; they were “sway” pieces. I didn’t comprehend that at all at the time. As a kid, I had been a paperboy for almost six years and my father would get up with me in the dark morning hours and read the paper. And he had been an avid TV news watcher. He did make odd comments to the TV now and then; during an NBC report on Vietnam, he suddenly retorted aloud, “No, we knew that!” But the whole concept of controlled news was beyond me. It just wouldn’t compute in my teen-age brain.

    Well, now I am past 60, and absolutely amazed at what goes on in our beloved country. The levels of corruption and the methods of manipulation are outrageous. We are getting played – left, right, and center. Over forty years of research can be crystallized to reveal the means of hidden control: a leviathan of three levels with three parts to each level.

    The top level is Mining-Metals-Money. This operation (which includes all our major mineral resources, but especially the metals gold and silver, used in wealth quantification) is held very tight-to-the-vest and its true dimensions, methods and transactions do not garner much discussion because they are seldom exposed. It holds the reins on all the rest.

    The middle section, Drugs-Guns-Oil, gets a bit more interesting. Its basic function is to funnel or direct the money and control, i.e. power. A shadowy world where ends justify means, chiefly war.

    At the bottom is the level I call Media-Movies-“Magic.” This is where the hooves hit the road, where the beast gets its traction and the capacity to manipulate perception – keeping us all ignorant about the true reality of the world – and to game us unmercifully. “Magic” consists of psychological warfare, meme warfare, groupthink and a myriad of other covert ways to manipulate and coerce us. “Magic” is the ability to hoodwink. Movies are a very important part of our cultural landscape and they have an immense impact on society’s norms, moods, values and cultural narratives…. For that reason, they are highly controlled.

    Media – well, let’s talk some about Big Media: America’s Nazi Secret and its startling new revelations has been offered to national news organizations, but they have declined, even though the earlier, censored edition of this book generated wide publicity and helped 60 Minutes reporter Mike Wallace win an Emmy. Was the “control” more lax then? Probably. Did the sanitized version serve a certain purpose? Maybe.

    I find the silence disturbing. Why the suppression now?

    With restored vigor and vibrant truth this new edition of The Belarus Secret, released now as America’s Nazi Secret, greatly helps our understanding of difficult historical facts as well as the dynamics in play in the years immediately after World War II … and also today.

    A former newsperson for ABC and CBS told me recently she feels there should be two journalism schools these days. One that offers courses in how to learn the “official facts” and go through life with blinders on. And one where the students learn to do it all: become news entrepreneurs, figure it out from the bottom up, and deliver the story themselves because there are no media organizations of any size or influence today that will follow certain stories to their true conclusions.

    What did my father mean by “sway pieces”? Take us here with one official opinion, then take us there with another one. Soon we are fighting each other, and since none of the information is complete in the first place, it taints civic dialogue. And then, awash in the bread and circuses, disgust and apathy, we simply just lose interest in the whole shebang, allowing the corruption to run rampant. The hoodwink works!

    I implore news professionals to buck the corporate masters, dig deep below the surface and behind the curtain, discuss our true reality and redeem the Fourth Estate. Please become, once again, a true partner and steward of our Republic.

    When he discovered the truth of the matter, John Loftus told it to the American people: The good, the bad, and the ugly. Here he expands and deepens that truth, for which we thank him.

  • Publisher’s Foreword - A Certain Arrogance

    Kris 8:19 am on January 27, 2011 | 78 Permalink | Reply

    Publisher’s Foreword

    If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

    — Joseph Goebbels

    It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale.

    — Jacques Ellul

    What a life and what a riddle world.

    — Louis Prima

    “Well, I guess we are making romantic comedies,” the senior vice president of creative affairs said humbly. It was out of his hands, and had gone way beyond his control. He had been harassed, bugged and chased. Wild rumors were spread in an attempt to get him fired, and when he persisted in advancing film projects of TrineDay’s books, members of his family were threatened. Soon, a very capable company curtailed its pursuit to take several of our titles to the big screen. And this wasn’t the first time, but that’s another story.

    The control and manipulation of our media has a long history. A Certain Arrogance gives us a look at some of the major players and how they played the game prior to, during and after World War II. Professor George Michael Evica deconstructs the webs of subterfuge surrounding Lee Harvey Oswald, and shows how private institutions get used and abused by our intelligence agencies … and the spies who run them.

    Today an aware person soon recognizes that America is acutely awash in propaganda, greed and corruption. This activity didn’t begin with our most recent election cycle or latest war. We Americans are multi-generational sufferers of such psychological and fiscal abuse, which overwhelms any natural discourse or relations, leaving us twisted tattered pawns reacting to manufactured stimuli. This leads to division, distortion, dysfunction and eventually, disenfranchisement.

    Most recently the “we can’t say anything bad about the United States, our enemies will use it against us” excuse was trotted out as a perfunctory reason for the media’s non-coverage of substantive issues presented in our books, and another day will surely bring a new excuse for such obfuscation. It appears that the creation of irrational fears trumps any semblance of honest journalism. Demonization, polarization, and continual crises appear to be the watchwords of the day. Yellow journalism rides triumphant, basking in its unholy light of deceit, while I.F. Stone, George Seldes, Ben Franklin and others must spin rapidly in their graves.

    Here, the revered and renowned Professor Evica takes “history” to task and gives us a rigorous examination of many of the loose ends swept under the rug by official investigative bodies, especially focusing on many of the questions not asked about the activities of accused “lone-nut” Lee Oswald. Exposing the intelligence milieu swirling around the players, Evica shows how the actions fit within the arcane patterns of strategic espionage and the Machiavellian manipulations of psychological warfare.

    The stage, script and players are engineered to influence different audiences, but mostly to mislead the general populace, who while being kept in the dark, foot the bill … and pay the price. A Certain Arrogance, turns the house lights on and brings illumination into dark recesses, enriching our understanding of sordid deeds and sad days, and how they came about.

    Why have there been so many books about the murder of John F. Kennedy? Was it simply because he was President of the United States? Or is it because we have been lied to about the evidence? There are those who say it doesn’t matter, or that we will never know the truth – get on and get over it.

    What can I say? Our republic, what’s left of it, is dear to me. Our children are dear to me, and I strive with all of my heart and soul for a better world. We can change it. We need to recognize and excise the beast that cloaks itself within our national system: corruption running rampant that leaves us, the people, in despair, defilement and drudgery.

    Let’s talk and work with our friends, family and community, let’s try to get beyond our differences, live up to America’s destiny. Let’s educate ourselves – not get lost in the invective rhetoric of right versus left, old versus young. We can revive the Republic for our children … and theirs.

  • Publisher’s Foreword — Watergate Exposed

    Kris 8:13 am on November 16, 2010 | 76 Permalink | Reply

    Publisher’s Foreword

    An’ here I sit so patiently
    Waiting to find out what price
    You have to pay to get out of
    Going through all these things twice.

    – Bob Dylan, Memphis Blues Again

    Will we ever know our true history? What does it mean when our “republic” gets it strings pulled by unelected players? Do the people in the shadows really know better? Are they operating in our country’s best interests? How would we know? Does it matter?

    I was talking with a local newspaper editor, or more likely haranguing him about not covering TrineDay’s books, when the subject of Watergate came up. You could feel the pride of his profession: the system had worked, the fourth estate had taken down the evildoer, the country was saved. I mentioned Silent Coup by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin and Jim Hougan’s Secret Agenda, and how those accounts of Watergate were different from the one told by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. The alternative scenarios even included a local angle, since the serviceman caught with his hand in Henry Kissinger’s briefcase was from Salem, Oregon. Yeoman Radford was spying for the Joint Chiefs … at least as far as we know.

    Cutting me short, the editor told me most reporters and news professionals wouldn’t even look at a different view. I gathered this was because the “events” of Watergate were so ingrained in their psyche, their personas – celluloid reality heroes Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman make great role models. Never mind the facts; feeling good about oneself and one’s profession must be worth something.

    With Watergate Exposed, we are again offered a different view of that historic scandal, and a very rare glimpse into the murky world of a confidential informant(CI). A domain of duress and duty, legality and illegality, pride and regret, tedium and excitement. Many times CIs don’t even know whom they are truly working for, or the real objective of the activity they have been asked to perform. In their arena, the ends justify the means.

    In the early 1970s, Robert “Butch” Merritt was profiled and then groomed as a CI by Carl Shoffler, the D.C. policeman who arrested the burglars at the Watergate complex on the night of June 17, 1972. Carl was no ordinary beat cop, but had special intelligence training. Before his D.C. police duties, he had worked at the National Security Agency’s Vint Hill Farm Station in Virginia, a “listening post” that was generally staffed by members of the Army Security Agency.

    Bob Woodward was no ordinary news reporter, As Russ Baker, author of Family of Secrets states at whowhatwhy.com: “Bob, top secret Naval officer, gets sent to work in the Nixon White House while still on military duty. Then, with no journalistic credentials to speak of, and with a boost from White House staffers, he lands a job at the Washington Post. Not long thereafter he starts to take down Richard Nixon. Meanwhile, Woodward’s military bosses are running a spy ring inside the White House that is monitoring Nixon and Kissinger’s secret negotiations with America’s enemies (China, Soviet Union, etc), stealing documents and funneling them back to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

    A few short years later, had Charles Manson follower Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme or FBI informant Sarah J. Moore been better shots, President Leslie L. King, Jr. (aka Gerald R. Ford, Jr.), our country’s first appointed president, might have been assassinated and Nelson Rockefeller then would have fulfilled his quest to become President of the United States. Ah, the vagaries of life.

    I was not a political supporter of Richard Nixon, but I do support our Republic, and any attack upon Lady Liberty puts us all at risk Then there is something called “history.” As George Santayana put it, “History is always written wrong, and so always needs to be rewritten.”

    With Watergate Exposed, history is being rewritten, or at least an account from a different vantage point is being told. Is it the truth? This may be difficult to judge. For the shadows are secretive and duplicitous, and memories get clouded with time.But you’ll never find the truth if you don’t look.

    Here is direct testimony that challenges the official dogma, and is validated on many points in hundreds of pages at the National Archives. Will we listen? Does it matter? Time and history … may tell.

  • Publisher’s Foreword — The Last Circle

    Kris 7:57 am on November 16, 2010 | 59 Permalink | Reply

    Publisher’s Foreword

    My soul is not a palace of the past,
    Where outworn creeds, like Rome’s gray senate, quake,
    Hearing afar the Vandal’s trumpet hoarse,
    That shakes old systems with a thunder-fit.
    That time is ripe, and rotten-ripe, for change …

    — James Russell Lowell, “A Glance Behind the Curtain”

    Be patient, spread the word among friends, do your little bit.
    The system will self-destruct because it is founded on corruption and untruth.

    — Antony Sutton, Fleshing Out Skull & Bones

    The system, like a worried Titan eating its young, devours our humanity while slowly excreting an empire, transforming golden tomorrows into yokes of servitude, corruption and venal banality.

    Isn’t it time for a swaddled stone?

    The Last Circle is a tale of our time: an era of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” These acts are not more heinous, but are simply committed by personages in “lofty” positions, for preeminence bestows deeper responsibilities, stricter standards, and demands honest transparency, especially while dedicating our common weal.

    Jesus said to pluck out your eye if it offends. Krishna told us to stand up, fight for justice – to make things right in the world – no matter the consequences to the established order. It is our duty.

    Finding Antony Sutton’s books in the late ’80s finally gave me some perspective on what my former-OSS/G2/CIA father had originally told me some twenty years earlier about a hidden world behind the curtain: of intelligence agencies, secret societies, war, propaganda, the drug trade, unlimited budgets and the attending undercurrents of corruption. Hubris plumped for a fall.

    The fact that, Cheri Seymour, a reporter for a small newspaper in a remote idyllic community on the doorstep of the majestic Yosemite Valley became part of numerous attempts to expose this malfeasant malignancy, demonstrates the breadth, depth and scope of the rot within our civic institutions.

    My father tried to explain to me the enormity of the illegal drug trade and its effects upon our society and body politic. I had no context to fathom his words. Seymour supplies us with context and then some. Presenting all facets of a complicated story, supplying background, a large cast of characters, drama and intrigue, murder and mayhem, Cheri takes us on an amazing journey wherein the storyteller becomes part of the tale. She is the courageous reporter, following the story no matter where it leads, laying her cards on the table, letting the chips ride.

    The Last Circle has won a strong following since an initial draft of the first fifteen chapters was put up on an Internet server at Cornell University in 1996. The work has been reposted on dozens of websites, become heavy blog fodder and been used as a source for books and countless newspaper, magazine, and Internet articles. TrineDay is honored to be publishing … “the rest of the story.”

    Let us hope this leads to more than a small press releasing a book that simply gets ignored. TrineDay has brought many stories of contemporary corruption to press, only to see the system deftly sidestep astounding revelations with disdain, malice and fluffery.

    Thomas Jefferson declared, “The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.”

    Venturing on the Internet you find the long-suffering aren’t remaining quiet, yet the hubbub is kept at bay through spin, lies, and a compliant media, leaving us wandering through a foggy soporific fraud.

    In 1959, my father quit his profession of over twenty years, intelligence gathering and analysis, because he would not be involved in a nascent authorized narcotics trafficking operation. They tried to keep him in the fold by offering a bribe, he said no, and then later told me some truths I didn’t understand. Comprehending his words have brought me here – to tell you. And also to ask these questions: Where is our Republic? Can we cease our current masquerade and correct this mess? Is there the understanding and political will?

    What we have is terribly broken and causing trouble.

    Our children deserve better.

  • Me & Lee — Publisher's Foreword

    Kris 5:44 pm on July 30, 2010 | 76 Permalink | Reply

    Publisher’s Foreword

    Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

    ~William Shakespeare, Macbeth – Act 5, Scene 5

    Lee was a government agent.

    ~ Marguerite Oswald

    What does it take to move people to take action? How can our republic be restored when many refuse to realize the sad state of our current affairs? Cloaked in America’s Providence, our hijacked ship of state plunders the world for inbred criminal corporations leaving our collective fortunes tattered, tired and tied to exploitation, ignorance, greed, and gross injustice.

    How did this happen? Did we just lose our way; get distracted; make some wrong decisions; morph into sleeping couch potatoes; or what?

    My investigation of history tells me that something more than the simple foibles of man have led to today’s dysfunctional corruption, something more than misguided misfits, malcontents and mavericks sullying our Pilgrims’ Progress. Something more than “Lone Nuts.”

    Judyth Vary Baker’s Me & Lee – How I came to know, love and lose Lee Harvey Oswald brings that point home in spades. Born out of a desire that children should know the truth about their father, Judyth’s narrative of her meeting, and loving, Lee Oswald that humid summer of 1963 in New Orleans allows us all to know him, as we never have before.

    Me & Lee gives us a deep glimpse of the man: his private and public world. A person we knew, and someone of whom we had no idea. Judyth’s tale brings the light of understanding to bothersome breadcrumbs strewn about the dark forest of our national nightmare. Incongruent facts come out of the cold, forming a consistent detailed chronicle.

    Contrary to published accounts, Lee Harvey Oswald was a patriot who loved his country. He submersed himself in an officially-sanctioned covert arena where one’s inventive “legend” becomes entry into a netherworld of intrigue, compartmentalization, secret operations and contrived situations. Where one can be for or against something/someone, depending on whichever guise is called up by a taskmaster giving the high sign through the shadows of plausible deniability: a wilderness of chicanery, deceit and double/triple crosses.

    According to all the major polls, no more than 36% of Americans have ever believed that Lee Oswald was the lone assassian, and the number has been generally around 15%, with a low of 10% in 1992 the year after Oliver Stone’s epic JFK. The most recent polls show around 20% of the population believes Oswald  “acted alone.” This after nearly fifty years of an almost constant “Oswald=Lone Nut Assassin” media assault, including a 2003 fortieth anniversary special, where an august Peter Jennings informed the nation: Lee Harvey Oswald did the dirty deed all by his lonesome and ABC has the computer graphics to prove it!

    Spin Control, Perception Management, Reality Engineering, Operation Mockingbird, the Great Wurlitzer, whatever you call it: the strategic psychological operations designed to manipulate our media and cover up the mega-misdeeds of flagrant corruption keep us all woefully unaware of the base reality engulfing our institutions, our history and … our future. Ignorance is bliss?

    Agnotology is the “scientific study of culturally induced ignorance”: such as when intelligence agencies or other shadow players use their behind-the-scenes capabilities of media spin to conceal scurrilous activities and agendas. Gaming the system and us.

    The cost of this mercenary connivance is our heritage, our liberty, our freedom, our country and … our future. For without an honest dialogue, we become puppets of rhetoric: robotic serfs in a corporate-controlled world, mere pre-programmed economic units instead of vital sovereign human beings. As has been said, “Perfect slaves think they are free.”

    Me & Lee gives an opportunity for us to understand the depth of our “ignorance.” We all owe Judyth Baker a huge debt and much thanks for her courage, forbearance, tenacity and grit in bringing to us all her very personal and revelatory story. A journey that has been beset with the trials and tribulations of exposing unwelcome truths.

    Is America’s destiny gone? Will it return? Whither thou, O Columbia?

    I was in Mrs. Helser’s eighth-grade Spanish class when the announcement of the assassination came over the room’s loudspeaker. Soon there came a note: my work had called (I was a paperboy), and I was sent out on the streets to sell newspapers. I had never done that before and only did it one other time, two days later when Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered … as the lies and legends arose.

  • King of Nepal — Publisher's Foreword

    Kris 5:41 pm on July 30, 2010 | 73 Permalink | Reply

    Publisher’s Foreword

    I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?

    —Willie Nelson

    Marijuana, cannabis, hemp, weed, ganja, pakalolo, boo … it goes by many names, and has a long association with mankind. It is one of the oldest domesticated crops, so much so that there are no true wild strains, all feral plants have been found to be escapees from somebody’s garden, sometime, somewhere.

    Author Joseph Pietri takes us back to the burgeoning of the hippie counterculture, amid the energy, excitement and adventure of the times. Times when you could travel freely in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, India and other countries, where you could freely buy, smoke and consume marijuana … as had been done for millennia.

    The King of Nepal chronicles the rise, heyday and demise of the Hippie Hashish Trail. An adventure that always lead to Nepal, where the marijuana trade was regulated by the government, giving stability and income for the locals and an exciting locale for the Westerners that met, partied, and endeavoured to bring the hashish to the their friends at home — a good ol‘ boy (and girl) network soon developed. Many of these travelers embraced the local culture and a vibrant scene developed in Nepal, Goa, and other places. Then along came, Dick Nixon’s War on Drugs where Asian governments were paid millions to make marijuana illegal. Soon the hippies were replaced by heroin-selling gangsters. Imagine that!

    Prohibitions don’t work. Never have. Never will. The current strictures are not about our health, our children or our community, but in keeping in place a black-market that creates huge profits giving “hidden” forces undue influence in our lives. The unconstitutional Drug War needs to end.

    Onwards to the utmost of futures,
    Peace,

  • Radical Peace — Publisher’s Foreword

    Publisher’s Foreword

    Peace is costly but it is worth the expense.
    —African Proverb

    Abandon all attachment to the results of action and attain peace.
    —Krishna

    All we are saying is give peace a chance.
    If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there’d be peace.
    If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
    —John Lennon

    One cannot simultaneously prepare for war and create peace.
    —Anon

    An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

    If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.

    Peace is its own reward.

    Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.
    —Mohandas Gandhi

    There was never a good war or a bad peace.
    —Benjamin Franklin

    I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.
    —Dwight D. Eisenhower

    Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.
    —John Fitzgerald Kennedy

    In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons.

    —Croesus

    One of the most persistent ambiguities that we face is that everybody talks about peace as a goal. However, it does not take sharpest-eyed sophistication to discern that while everybody talks about peace, peace has become practically nobody’s business among the power-wielders. Many men cry Peace! Peace! but they refuse to do the things that make for peace.
    —Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will, Sympathy, Justice, Imagination, and the triumph of principle. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism.
    —Dorothy Thompson

    Naturally the common people don’t want war.… That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
    —Hermann Goering

    You can’t shake hands with a clenched fist.
    —Indira Gandhi

    Peace is not something you wish for; It’s something you make, Something you do, Something you are, And something you give away.
    —Robert Fulghum

    Peace be with you.
    —Genesis 43:23

    Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
    —Matthew 5:9

    Onward to the utmost of futures!
    Peace,

  • FRENCH QUERY U.S. STATE DEPT. ABOUT LSD ATTACK

    FRENCH GOVERNMENT QUERIES U.S. STATE DEPT. ABOUT LSD ATTACK

    Washington, D.C. — According to informed sources, the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research has received a confidential inquiry from the office of Erard Corbin de Mangoux, head of the French intelligence agency, Directorate General for External Security (DGSE), concerning a recent account of American government complicity in a mysterious 1951 incident of mass insanity in France. The DGSE is the French counterpart of the CIA.

    The incident took place in the village of Pont-Saint-Esprit in southern France, and is described in a recent book about the 1953 death of an American biochemist, A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA’s Secret Cold War Experiments. The book, by investigative journalist H.P. Albarelli Jr., was published in late November 2009 by TrineDay, which specializes in books about “suppressed information.”

    The strange outbreak severely affected nearly five hundred people, causing the deaths of at least five. For nearly 60 years the Pont-St.-Esprit incident has been attributed either to ergot poisoning, meaning that villagers consumed bread infected with a psychedelic mold, or to organic mercury poisoning. But Albarelli reports that the outbreak resulted from a covert LSD aerosol experiment directed by the US Army’s top-secret Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, Maryland. He notes that the scientists who produced both alternative explanations worked for the Sandoz Pharmaceutical Company, which was then secretly supplying both the Army and CIA with LSD.

    The effect was devastating, as a contemporary French report made clear: “It is neither Shakespeare nor Edgar Poe. It is, alas, the sad reality all around Pont-St.-Esprit and its environs, where terrifying scenes of hallucinations are taking place. They are scenes straight out of the Middle Ages, scenes of horror and pathos, full of sinister shadows.” Even Time magazine took notice: “Among the stricken, delirium rose: patients thrashed wildly on their beds, screaming that red flowers were blossoming from their bodies, that their heads had turned to molten lead. Pont-Saint-Esprit’s hospital reported four attempts at suicide.”

    A Department of Justice website on the dangers of LSD states that in the early 1950s “the Sandoz Chemical Company went as far as promoting LSD as a potential secret chemical warfare weapon to the U.S. Government. Their main selling point in this was that a small amount in a main water supply or sprayed in the air could disorient and turn psychotic an entire company of soldiers leaving them harmless and unable to fight.” The CIA entertained a number of proposals from American scientists concerning placing a large amount of LSD into the reservoir of a medium-to-large city, but, according to former agency officials, “the experiment was never approved due to the unexpected number of deaths during the operation in France.”

    Albarelli also describes a series of small, secret chemical attacks by the CIA on the New York City subway system during the 1950s. Recently, the Army has referred to these experiments as “simulated tests,” but contemporary documents make no reference to simulation. An August 1950 FBI memorandum refers to “planned BW [biological warfare] experiments in the New York Subway System in September, 1950,” expressing concerns about “poisoning the water supply of a large metropolitan area at the source … the poisoning of food … sold to the general public.”

    In its quest to research LSD as an offensive weapon, Albarelli claims, the Army drugged over 5,700 unwitting American servicemen between the years 1953 and 1965, and, with the CIA, experimented widely with LSD and other drugs through secret contracts with over 325 colleges, universities and research institutions in the U.S., Canada and Europe, involving about 2,500 additional subjects, many of them hospital patients and college students.

    According to an official with the DGSE, who declined to be identified, “If the details of this book’s revelations prove to be true, it will be very upsetting for the people of Pont-St.-Esprit, as well as all French citizens. That agencies of the United States government would deliberately target innocent foreign citizens for such an experiment is a violation of a number of international laws and treaties.”
