Goldberger was a graduate student at Cornell Medical Center, assigned to study Chinese postgraduates detained in the U.S. Twenty years later he discovered he'd been duped into working for the CIA.
Everyone's all over mkultra, and have been for decades now. I ask why do most ignore the implications and side projects? The proven ties of death from the unibomber to mason, the impact on the workforce and family values, the planned societal regression from the planted and inorganic music of the era? Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & The Dark Heart Of The Hippie Dream, is a book by Dave McGowan, one of the few people who I've come across willing to stop regurgitating facts known for decades and start looking at this project and others', larger implications and detrimental affects on the american populace that's enduring to this day. I appreciate your post and research and time spent but I do not agree that this is such a "oh look at what those bad people did" moment, and time to wake up to the fact this was a moment in which few can still deny that a powerful evil came to the helm of control in america and every national politician since is subservient to that great evil, working to serve it and the continuance of the exact same plans exact same project exact same goals for the future of the nation and all of humanity. Instead everyone is yapping about the bad people and bad things they did in the past, wasting time and focus on right/left politics. How "their" side can fix things, how "their side" is the lesser evil. There is no one on a national political stage in america or the global west in any party that's not subservient to an evil bloodline cabal intent on the destruction of humanity. Politicians don't serve their electorate, they're subservient to their nephilimic masters. The same ones who pushed for mkultra, the same that have now mkultra'd the entire globalist empire of the west.
Yeah, I've read Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon too. Relying on perhaps 1/100 of the information base that Jeffrey Kaye has accessed, Dave McGowan arrived at conclusions 100x more extravagant than Kaye.
I've also read various other works dating from the same 1980s-1990s span, from Alex Constantine; EIR, Lyndon LaRouche's wheezing Wurlitzer; all those old screeds from magazines with titles like Anarchy and Paranoia. Cribbing research done by others and attached to a random selection of 1960s counterculture influencer name-checks and guilt-by-association data points (i.e., "did you know that Jim Morrison's dad was a US Navy Admiral? ooh, spooky...") The same threadbare research and sloppy fact-checking, with nearly all of the speculative "connect-the-data points" assertions contradicted by other information, for anyone who's bothered to look (raises hand.)
Pop culture factoid conspiracism. A facile narrative crafted to hook newbies who hadn't read the journalism of diligent researchers like John Marks and Martin Lee for themselves (and probably still haven't.). Insinuations all leading to the same murky place: Sensationalist Apocalypse. The battle against the Metaphysical Evil of the Globalist Controllers.
It's proto-QAnon. The version from the pre-Internet era, when ConspiracyISM was juust getting traction as a force in popular media and culture. A mere cottage industry, compared to nowadays.
Fact-checking research requires hours. Compiling chronological timelines is hard work. Drawing interpretive conclusions from volumes of evidence is a scholarly discipline. It isn't to be confused with bumbling down a bread-crumb trail laid by axe-grinding propagandists. Whatever their game might happen to be- easy money, professional disinformation, sincere self-deception, or just done for the lulz. The particular motive is relatively unimportant. The important thing to realize is that Weird Scenes Inside Laurel Canyon is selling speculative fantasy fiction, not factually grounded history.
Consider the possibility that you might have been worked, Sutton.
As for myself, I'm going to keep reading Jeffrey Kaye's website. Wildly unbalanced though the presentation appears to be, in the direction of anti-American bias. Because it needs to be understood that the Soviets, North Koreans, and Chinese were doing mind control research, too. In fact the Soviet Russians had laid the groundwork much earlier, based on the researches of Ivan Pavlov into operant conditioning and behavioral reinforcement. (Much to Pavlov's eventual dismay, apparently.)
CIA leadership was not the sole impetus for clandestine psychological research in the West, either. The British, the Canadians, the French were all doing it. The remnants of the defeated Axis were infiltrating their way back into the corridors of power, on both sides of the "Iron Curtain." (What a powerful metaphor that was for me as a child. And for other Cold War era Americans.) The Iron Curtain was in some ways rather porous, for the middlemen who knew how to work the Game. A much more complex and intriguing tale than any Grand Unified Globalist Evilarchy Conspiracy narrative.
That said: were there people with God-Complexes in the top reaches of both the field of psychology and in the leadership of Western "intelligence agencies", in the 1950s and 1960s? Oh, yeah. Is it still important to be vigilant about the possibility of continued existence of the problems associated with that mindset? Oh, yeah. It's important to be vigilant about all sorts of input. Including the possibility of being worked by a Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory, in whatever form it might happen to take.
Daddy being a bloodline elite in naval intelligence tasked with both filming the "surprise" attack on pearl harbor as well as masterminding the gulf of tonkin incident was sufficient for me to have no further interest in anything from their ilk or "culture". Blessings.
Jim Morrison's father George was indeed present at the Pearl Harbor, Hawaii US naval base for the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. At the age of 22. A newly commissioned USN ensign, fresh out of the Naval Academy. He may have been ordered to film the attack, I don't know. If that information is true, I'd venture that it's a matter of public record, perhaps freely admitted by the late Adm. Morrison.
As for the Tonkin Gulf incident, it's entirely plausible that Admiral Morrison played some covert role in the planning, execution, and/or the cover-up.. But presuming that it's so, that information is meaningless in and of itself, when considered as evidence for Jim Morrison carrying out some MK-ULTRA plot to invent 1960s youth counterculture.
The weakest, most laughable part of the Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory that "the psychedelic counterculture was spread worldwide as a mind control project" is that it contends that conspiracy plotters like Tim Leary, Ken Kesey, Owsley Stanley, and Jim Morrison were using their cultural influence to intentionally spread (so the story goes) the "mind-controlling Brain Poison, LSD"--by taking it themselves. Does that story make rational sense?
Rest assured, all of the names mentioned took it themselves. Not just a little bit, either. For a while there, they were really going at it. Jim Morrison even experimented with jimson weed- a substance so crazy-making and poisonous that it never got any traction at all as a street drug. That isn't the act of a disciplined operative. It's the act of a wild man.
The second weakest part of the "Jim Morrison, Dynastic Evilarchy Conspirator" narrative is the the insinuation--McGowan never makes an accusation that outlines detailed specifics, of course not, he has none--that Evilarchy Conspirator Admiral Morrison groomed his son Jim Morrison to infiltrate the arts culture of Southern California and rise to prominence and Stardom as a rock music singer, as a conscious change agent for the Evil agenda of the Dynastic Evilarchy, to play a preplanned role to conjure up and shape the Youth Counterculture of the 1960s.
There's no indication that Jim Morrison maintained a close relationship with his father once he had left home. That goes against all of the recollections of his own brother and father. Do you think they're lying? It's too silly a question to pursue.
I don't know how old you are, but I'm the same age as our host, and am able to attest from firsthand knowledge that the Generation Gap was a real thing in those days, and when it showed up in the realm of politics the divide was profound. But even someone from a more recent generation should be able to get that fathers and sons often follow widely diverging paths.
At the time of the Tonkin Gulf incident Jim Morrison had been living outside of his parental household for years. He had moved to Florida, staying for a few months with his grandparents while he went to community college, and then moving out and up to Tallahassee, attending FSU. Soon afterward, 19-year old Jim was arrested at an FSU Seminoles football game for drunkenly disturbing the peace and larceny. He was gone by the next semester, enrolled in film school at UCLA. I'm not featuring that track record as a pattern of intensive training as a covert operative- for anybody. It's the track record of someone with his own ambitions in the artistic avant garde. And also the track record of someone who knew how to tie one on. Seriously. The guys character profile is a textbook case of someone on a continuous booze and dope binge that eventually got the best of them. Not a disciplined psychological operations cadet with ice water in his veins, doing the bidding of his hidden superiors.
Rear Admiral George Morrison was not a naval intelligence operative, either. Morrison was a WW2 naval aviator with combat experience, later promoted into planning and operations. He undoubtedly had a top-level security clearance. It's likely that he was involved in the Tonkin Gulf provocation- possibly deeply involved.. But that is not evidence that Admiral Morrison was with ONI, CIA, or any of the other intelligence agencies. That isn't required.
