CIA's Influence on the Hippie Movement

Most people aren't aware that the CIA is actually who started the hippie

movement back in the '60s. And I bet you didn't know this.

A lot of the bands from the late '60s, '70s, some of our favorite bands, The

Doors, The Grateful Dead, hell, I've gone to Grateful Dead shows

when I was a kid.

All that LSD, all that, uh, hippie culture movement

that happened came from the

CIA. They started it, and they were doing tests on what LSD would do

and how it affected human beings, and whether they could use

that to mind control

people. I mean, guys, that's going back 50,

almost 60 years now they've

been doing this stuff. You'd be shocked how many famous bands,

their parents were

in the CIA. So those people, those bands that we all just loved their

music and thought, you know, they were just some guys getting together,

making

beautiful music, they were planted there by the CIA.

Spread this message and to spread LSD culture around so they

could

do mind control techniques on individuals.

Wanted to share this guy's stuff and see if any of this blows your mind.

Watch this.

CIA created the hippie movement, and your mom's favorite band probably

helped

them. In the 1950s, the CIA bought up the world's supply of

LSD.

They brought it to the pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly, who reverse engineered

it, giving them an unlimited supply and a complete monopoly.

Then the testing started. One early volunteer for these tests

was Ken

Kesey. Kesey wrote a book inspired by this

experience, which became a

bestseller. Then Kesey went on to host events,

which he called

acid tests. And he wasn't charging anyone.

He just wanted people to show up and do acid.

For these events, he hired an unknown house band called The

Grateful Dead.

These events became wildly popular, and with them rose the popularity of the

band. So The Grateful Dead begins touring, and Kesey follows them around in a

bus from show to show, and everywhere he went,

he brought a vat full of Kool-Aid

laced with LSD. This guy had a seemingly endless supply,

exporting the

hippie culture all around the US. Meanwhile, the CIA is flooding

college campuses with LSD under the guise of research.

At the same time, in Laurel Canyon came a wave of musicians

with something in

common. They were all children of high-ranking

military officials.

The biggest names in music. Jim Morrison of The Doors

was the son of an admiral.

Frank Zappa's father was a chemical warfare specialist.

Even Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Yeah, all three of them.

And all of these bands as well. The theory is the CIA orchestrated the

hippie movement to steer a very real anti-war movement into something a

little e-

I've heard little whispers about this for a while, but I actually dug in after I

saw this guy's video to find out if it's true, and yeah.

It's crazy how many of the artists that you know, even

today. Pretty sketchy stuff. They have infiltrated not only the media,

but all entertainment, all the A-list actors, all the

musicians that are at that high level. They're all controlled.

They're all funded by the 13 families behind the scenes, which then do

all that control through their network like the CIA, FBI,

all that kind of stuff. Just sharing some pretty wild information.

Open your eyes.

All the truths are coming to light.
