"LSD Was Invented at the Same Time as the Atomic Bomb In Order To Balance the Universe." - Famous Quote... Who Said It? Dr. Albert Hofmann? Post Answers in the Comments Section!

LSD was invented in 1938 but its Psychedelic Properties were Discovered on April 19th, 1943. The Atomic Bomb was First Exploded on July 16th, 1945... Just Co-Incidence?

and Here's what Dr. Hofmann Had to Say About That!

LSD: Completely Personal

speech delivered to the 1996 Worlds of Consciousness Conference
in Heidelberg, Germany

by Dr. Albert Hofmann

One often asks oneself what roles planning and chance play in the realization of the most important events in our lives. With respect to a given event, this involves the question, just how much was destiny, how much free will? This question has preoccupied me again and again in relation to one of the most significant and consequential events in my life in relation to the discovery of LSD.

(Many Paragraphs later in the speech he says)

At about the same time [as the invention of LSD] nuclear energy became technically usable and the atomic bomb was developed. In comparison to traditional energy sources and weapons, a new dimension of menace and destruction became accessible. This corresponded to the potency-enhancement realized in the field of psychopharmaka, something like 1:5000 or 1:10,000-fold, comparing mescaline to LSD.

One could make the assumption that this coincidence might not be accidental, but rather was brought on the scene by the "Spirit of the Age." From this perspective the discovery of LSD could hardly be an accident.

One might reflect on a further idea, that LSD might have been predestined by some higher power to arise precisely at the time when the predominance of materialism with all its consequences over the past 100 years was being understood. LSD as an enlightening psychopharmakon along the path to a new, spiritual age!

So... there was Dr. Hofmann Questioning the Possibility that "LSD Was Invented at the Same Time as the Atomic Bomb In Order To Balance the Universe."

but I Still Haven't Found anyone that puts it all in ONE SENTENCE... and I Do Not Think that I Wrote that Quote... 

SO... Who Said It? Post Answers in the Comments Section!

Mary Pinchot Meyer gave LSD to JFK and Then He Decided to End the Vietnam War in 1963. Defense Contractors had him Assassinated to Protect their Profits. Mary was a Girlfriend of JFK and...

She was part of a movement to give LSD to the Leaders of the World. The top scientists, business leaders, artists, poets, actors, politicians, writers, musicians and athletes were to be given LSD and then they would use what they learned while high to rebuild society. The cosmic knowledge was to be distributed from the top down in order to create a better world.

We Will Never Know If This Is True or Just a Conspiracy Theory... Mary did keep a diary and right after she was assassinated, her friend Washington Post Editor Ben Bradlee took the diary to The CIA and they gave it to Mary's Sister and She BURNED IT! One of The Many "Summertime Bonfires" that Year...  https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2019/06/mpm-gave-lsd-to-jfk-and-then-he-decided.html
I've always wondered about the MOTIVE for JFK's Assassination... Dow Chemical and Hughes Aircraft Made a Fortune selling Supplies to the US Military during the Vietnam War... a Newly Enlightened JFK was a "Problem" - Solution? Have a Patsy "Hit" Him... The "Hit" the Patsy...

Great Books: Project MKULTRA: 
CIA/LSD American History
"The Search for the Manchurian Candidate" 
by John Marks
MKULTRA: Was a CIA Mind Control Project in the USA during the 1950's and 1960's. They were looking for a way to use drugs as weapons of war. For example: LSD as a way to simply get the "enemy" to lay down their arms, voluntarily... like, too stoned to fight...

The project conducted tests on college students at Stanford University. Ken Kesey and Robert Hunter both were employed. Later, Ken started having "ACID TEST" parties where the participants took LSD and danced to the Music of the Grateful Dead. Robert Hunter wrote lyrics for the Dead. and The "Whole Earth Catalog" was Written by Stewart Brand... His Book was Useful for Hippies that wanted to Go Live Off The Land and become Subsistence Farmers... or Marijuana Farmers... He was Also a Test Subject for MKULTRA.

50th anniversary of the Summer of Love... The Diggers, Haight Ashbury, LSD and the Grateful Dead. It certainly has been a Long Strange Trip. Congratulations to all those of us who have survived... One thing is for certain...

The culture of the United States was 
radically different After the 1960's... 
LSD Psychedelic Art by Greg Vanderlaan vandergreg gvan42 purple64ets gregvan

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.

A video all about how the military invented AI 
to brainwash the public... Or at least that's how 
it's being used... MKULTRA 2026... 

and that made me want to write a lot in the comment section...

The entire internet was designed by the military to allow their computers to communicate with each other during a nuclear war... DARPA... I like AI artwork because it allows me to fulfill my lifelong dream to be a cartoonist... But I was terrible at drawing pictures with a pencil or pen...

DARPANET, commonly known as ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), was the first wide-area packet-switching network and the direct predecessor to the modern Internet. Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in the late 1960s, it pioneered...

I do not use AI to write my blog because I figure that my readers deserve better... If you're a reader of mine it's because you want to know what my thoughts are... If you wanted to know what Google's thoughts are... you could go to Google...

I have noticed the brainwashing coming out of television... A lot... There's a whole genre of TV shows that are called "cop shows"... Where the cops are the good guys and the criminals are the bad guys and the cops lock up the criminals... Dragnet, Law & Order, Miami Vice... They all have the same message... But then in real life you notice that the cops are often insanely horrible people... Did you know? That the movie The French Connection was based on a real case... And all of the heroin was stolen from the police station evidence Warehouse and sold by policemen... 100% corrupt...

And the TV news brainwashing is evident on every channel... Fox, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC... Did you notice that there's endless discussion about the kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie's mother... Old people vanish quite often... Everyday Old people leave the house and wander around Outdoors lost in a dementia Haze... But this particular story has gotten a lot of attention because the woman is so incredibly beautiful... There was a story about four college students in Idaho that were murdered and just by coincidence they happen to be stunningly beautiful...

I tuned my Guitar to DADGAD and am experimenting with chords... It was very easy to Tune the Guitar because my electronic Tuner has all those notes... Except the LOW D... for that I Put my finger on the second fret and tune THAT note to E... One chord I've Learned is To Put one finger across all four of the high pitched strings... at every location up the neck there is a chord... maybe this would be good for slide guitar... and then I Found a Video Teaching How to Play Kashmir by Led Zeppelin...

and there were a Half a Million Americans That Died from Drug Overdoses... and Really, If you are so Stupid as to Die from a Drug Overdose... We Are All Better Off That You've Gone... Thanks!

The Catholic Church is Opposed to Birth Control and so there are Millions of Starving Children... I've Actually Traveled to Mexico and The Starving Children Really Upset Me... SO... I Never Traveled there Again...

Buying Used Stuff at Thrift Stores DOES NOT CAUSE ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE Like Buying New Stuff Does. When You Buy a New Product, the Corporation Has to Replace It.

They Mine Raw Materials, grow plants (like cotton) using pesticides and herbicides, Log Forests, Employ Slave Laborers in the Orient, Burn Gasoline Shipping the Plastic Crap Here From China... and on and on and on... Used Products ALREADY EXIST and so Buying Stuff at The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop (my local store) does NOT Harm the Planet. Actually, They Hire Local People to Work as Clerks and Do Delivery. We Bought ALL our Living Room Furniture there. Three Chairs and a Sofa... and Men Delivered It Upstairs in Our Home. NO WAY could I Move those Heavy Objects Up That Staircase... I Tipped those Guys $10 Each... and they were really Thankful. Yes, I Could Have Spent a Fortune at Sears or KMART but... I Prefer to Keep The Money IN MY WALLET. I Like Employing Guys That Live At The Rescue Mission. The Mission Does Good Work Here in Eureka and I've Met a LOT of Real People That They Help. I did buy new Beds at Sears. Somehow, those were just too Personal to Buy Used... also, I Do Not Buy Used Underwear... BUT, Clothes? YES! It's actually fun to find thrift stores in Super Rich Neighborhoods and Live Like the TV Show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous..." A Great Place to Shop is North Shore Lake Tahoe... Snow Bunnies often Donate Extra Stuff When the Season is Over... and There is Also DUMPSTER DIVING in College Towns at the End of the School Year... FREE STUFF! 

Oddly, I Expressed These Opinions during a Group Discussion at an Ecology Class at Humboldt State University and ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS SAID I WAS WRONG... They said that Used Stuff Still Requires Ecological Damage to Exist at All... I tried to explain that the Manufacturing Damage Happened IN THE PAST and it is impossible to Change History but Buying New Stuff CAUSES Purchasing Agents at Corporations to Hire People to Create New Stuff IN THE FUTURE to Fill the Shelves At The Store. No One Grasped the Concept. But I Did Make The Other Students Think. and That's a Good Thing. It's a difficult concept... I Wish I Could Explain it in a Shorter Sentence... Maybe YOU can Re-Write the Concept Better and Post it in the Comments Section... Thanks!

Remember: There are Two Ways to Get Everything You Want. Get More or Want Less. and... You Can Get More Stuff Per Dollar At The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop... or Your Own Store... Did You Know that There is a Fashion "Thing" where Corporations PRE-RIP Clothes? Intentionally Making Them LOOK USED! Really! They Hire People to Rub Jeans over Rough Surfaces to SIMULATE Wear and Tear of Normal Use... I'm Not Making This UP! All the Pathetic Dupes are Wearing Clothes Like That! On My Own Webstore... I Offer Hats that have been "Distressed" to look like they are Old... It's an Option... I wish I could write a Mocking Slogan Poking Fun at this Fashion Trend... Then I Could Sell a Hat with That Saying... Sort of like the Question: "Can You Imagine a World Without Hypothetical Situations?" or The Page that says: "This Page Is Left Blank Intentionally." A Cosmic Haiku Slogan.
.. 

I do sell a Hat that says "PRESS" so people can wear it at Protest Marches and Avoid Being Bashed on the Head By The Police... I Do Not Really Know if It REALLY Helps Avoid Police Violence... I Do Know That People Made T-Shirts Saying "Backstage Pass - Shoreline Amphitheater - Bill Graham Productions" and Used them to sneak past Security Guards... 

Sign Stating: "This is a Sign" - Absurdist Street Theater or End Times Warning?


I admire the Guy that Made a Sign that Says "This is a Sign." Was That Absurdist Theater or End Times Warning?

"Life is More Complex than a Slogan on a Hat."

JL SAID: 

Declaring "war" on drugs doesn't change individual behavior, it merely makes the government an adversary to its citizenry.

In order to change behavior, the reason for the behavior must be identified as well as those factors which reinforce and maintain it.

If people are miserable and feel dis-empowered or hopeless, they will seek ways to empower themselves. Guns do that, as does joining a gang or cult. Opioids, however temporary, offer relief from the angst of a dysfunctional society.

In order to change or mitigate those precipitating, maintaining, and reinforcing factors, government's "war efforts" should address the social factors that stress Americans. This is why people are reported to be "happier" in countries that guarantee a livable wage, healthcare, and higher education. There is no logical rebuttal for receiving benefits like these in return for our tax dollars, when we have provided tax shelters for decadent evangelists and those who hoard money for personal pleasure and profit


and I Replied:

It's a Medical Problem... Often a Patient was Prescribed Oxycontin to relieve pain... and now... the pain remains but the Government Has Made them the "Bad Guy" - Why NOT Let Old People HAVE Relief From Pain? I Know a Man who is 83 Years Old and Has an Oxy Prescription for 28 days a month... Every Month... and Some months have 30 or 31 days... so... Two or Three Days of Agony? Withdrawal Symptoms PLUS the REAL Medical Problem... Because Someone ELSE is Abusing THEIR Prescription! INSANE... What IF He Takes Oxy for the Rest of His Life? That's Not Long...

My Experience: I took LSD and Visited the National Art Gallery in Washington DC... Surprisingly, Picasso "The Tragedy" was My Favorite Painting... I FELT COLD in my Body just looking at the Painting... 

Warhol and Lichtenstein all seemed silly and trivial! That Night we all went to the Tangerine Dream Concert... at the Elegant Warner Theater... I was Concerned During the Show About the CO2 Fog that Spilled off the Stage and out into the Audience... Seemed Dangerous to Me... But We All Survived... 

Picasso "The Tragedy"

My In Laws came to Visit Us In Washington DC and when we went to Colonial Williamsburg my Mother in Law Rented a Wheel Chair... While it's Possible for her to walk, That tour involves a LOT of Walking... So When she went to The Bathroom, I Sat Down in the Wheel Chair...and IN PUBLIC, People Treat You Different if You are in a Wheel Chair... Many Assumed I was a Disabled Veteran... So... AS A PRANK I Stood Up and Shouted "I Can Walk! Thank You Jesus! I Can Walk!" - That Really Freaked Out the Tourists...

One of the high points of my life was performing "Uncle John's Band" at the Rainbow Gathering in Idaho.
