I said they were Bohemian Grove members (that's not speculation)
As for the CIA?
CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb ran LSD experiments in Palo Alto that Ken Kesey + Robert Hunter took part in. Allen Ginsburg first took LSD via Gottlieb's massive stash ($240,000 worth in 1953 dollars)
This led to Robert Hunter turning on the Grateful Dead with Sidney Gottlieb’s CIA-funded acid.
The Dead's first show as the "Grateful Dead", and not the Warlocks, as 12/4/65 at the San Jose Acid Test. LSD didn't become illegal in CA until six months later.
I don't have time right now but most Deadheads know about Owsley Stanley's role with the Dead and LSD Bay Area counterculture. Also look up Stuart Brand's role.
Todd Brendan Fahey's Wisdom's Maw offers a conspiratorial view.
Tim Leary, Ken Kesey (and by extension) the Dead all unwitting members of LSD-fueled MK-ULTRA mind control programs?
Those of you who research can be the judge.

If you didn't come here today for a quick dopamine fix, I recommend that you take some time and read the article in full. As with all of John's articles, this one is full of pearls to contemplate and great quotes.
I'll share some of the quotes and a bit of John's writing here, as time permits but don't assume the selected tidbits do full justice.
"In his epilogue to Devils of Loudun, (Aldous) Huxley noted the seductive nature of group think, of what he called the collective alienation of herds.
Electronic Frontier Foundation joins Podesta's Center for American Progress to "crack down on deliberate disinformation", but won't "unduly" limit free expression.
Center for Democracy + Technology (funded by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Ford Foundation, Google, John S. + James L. Knight Foundation, Amazon, Charles Koch Institute, Facebook, Microsoft, Open Society Foundations,
"The non-profit industrial complex...must be considered the most powerful army in the world. Employing billions of staff, all inter-connected, today’s campaigns, financed by our ruling oligarchs can become viral in a matter of hours"
“What’s infuriating about manipulations by the Non Profit Industrial Complex is that they harvest the goodwill of the people, especially young people.
They target those who were not given the skills and knowledge to truly think for themselves by institutions which are designed to serve the ruling class.
Multinational corporation Unilever (who owns Ben & Jerry's) hired private security to brutally put down a strike in S. Africa (rubber bullets, pepper spray, paintballs).
That is correct, hence the quotes. Sanctioned History sees Wilson differently. IMO 🤖he one of the worst American Presidents, ushering in the Federal Reserve, America's false flag entry into WW I + as the father of the Administrative State, modern Meritocracy and Elitism.
Between 1911 and 1915, seven presidents were assassinated or overthrown in Haiti. In 1914, the Wilson Administration sent marines into Haiti who removed $500,000 from the Haitian National Bank for safe-keeping in New York, thus giving the U.S. control of the bank.
In 1915, Haitian president Jean Vilbrun Guillaume Sam was assassinated. In response, President Wilson sent the U.S. Marines to Haiti, claiming the invasion was an attempt to prevent anarchy. In reality the Wilson administration was protecting U.S. assets in the area.
The invasion ended with the Haitian-American Treaty of 1915. The agreement created a Haitian gendarmerie, a military force made up of Americans and Haitians and controlled by the U.S. marines.
