Learn from History. OR DON'T! We Are Free to Keep Making the Same Mistakes Again and Again and Again. Remember the AIDS QUILT When Promoting PRIDE Month.

Did You Know? The Main Way AIDS Was Spread was Gay Men Sex. Women Having Sex With Other Women Was NOT a Major Vector. Later, some Men who Got AIDS From Other Men Spread Their Disease To Women because They Had Sex With Both Men and Women... That's History. Learn... OR DON'T!

The Quilt was conceived in November of 1985 by long-time San Francisco gay rights activist Cleve Jones. Since the 1978 assassinations of gay San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone, Jones had helped organize the annual candlelight march honoring these men. While planning the 1985 march, he learned that over 1,000 San Franciscans had been lost to AIDS. He asked each of his fellow marchers to write on placards the names of friends and loved ones who had died of AIDS. At the end of the march, Jones and others stood on ladders taping these placards to the walls of the San Francisco Federal Building. The wall of names looked like a patchwork quilt.

Headline: San Francisco Banning Public Sex: (4/10/1984)
After more than a year of controversy over homosexual public meeting places that critics say contribute to the spread of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), city public health director Mervyn F. Silverman today announced steps to ban sexual activity in homosexual bathhouses, sex clubs and the back rooms of bookstores...

"If they're going to send some 1984 Orwellian 'Big Brother' goons in there to see what people are doing, that's fine with me, but it's closing me down," said Bill Jones, owner of Sutro Baths, where heterosexuals and homosexuals often gather for anonymous sexual activity...

The culture of the United States was

radically different After the 1960's...

The conformism of the 1950's was blown away when LSD became widely available. Owsley made the chemical and made it available at Acid Tests with Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead. He also gave it to the Beatles for their Magical Mystery Tour. The spirit lives on in a yearly camping trip called The Rainbow Gathering. It's like Woodstock but the performers are not paid and I'm in the Band.

American History: Author Ken Kesey was a Paid test subject in Project MKULTRA, the CIA LSD Experiment to see if Drugs could be used as weapons of war.

They also tested LSD on Robert Hunter (Lyrics-Grateful Dead) and Stewart Brand (Whole Earth Catalog Author). Ken Kesey Employed the Dead to play at his Acid Tests... so, WAS the Grateful Dead Tour a CIA Experiment to see what would happen if millions of people used LSD? I certainly feel that if the Police WANTED to arrest all the LSD Merchants that worked the Parking Lot, they would have had an easy time... So, maybe they were bought off by the CIA so that the MASSIVE Distribution of LSD could continue... Maybe the Grateful Dead Tour was DEPLOYMENT of MKULTRA because the CIA felt that they were undermining the Anti-War Movement... Radicals that were Protesting took LSD and Dropped Out to go live on Communes in the country, grow some vegetables, chickens, weed and Children...

Mickey Hart and Bob Weir belong to the Bohemian Grove... This all makes sense to me as The Grove was started as a getaway for artists, musicians and journalists who wanted a private place to party outside of San Francisco... So Bob Weir and Mickey Hart would be a great addition to group sing alongs around the campfire...

Timothy Leary was a CIA employee who wrote the "Leary Personality Test" years before he ate Magic Mushrooms and LSD.
