Speaker 1: This is Jay Dyer. From Jay's analysis, You're listening to
Speaker 1: Esoteric Hollywood. Esoteric Hollywood is where I deconstruct the biggest
Speaker 1: films in an unparalleled way, from the classics of the
Speaker 1: silver screen to today's blockbusters. Learned to watch film with
Speaker 1: new eyes. As we enter esoteric Hollywood. Other media lie,
Speaker 1: the media lizes, and this guy is gay, and this
Speaker 1: guy is gay. You're listening to Esoteric Hollywood. I wanted
Speaker 1: to do a summary review and analysis of Dave McGowan's
Speaker 1: Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon Laurel Canyon covert Ops in
Speaker 1: the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream. A lot of
Speaker 1: people out there liked Dave's book, and I remember coming
Speaker 1: in contact with his material about a year and a
Speaker 1: half two years ago. Started listening to his interviews and
Speaker 1: I thought they were pretty fantastic. So I got his
Speaker 1: book some months ago, read it when I was in Florida,
Speaker 1: and I thought it was pretty phenomenal. So the reason
Speaker 1: we're going to do an analysis of this book in
Speaker 1: this episode of Esotery Hollywood is because I think if
Speaker 1: I started thinking back to maybe ten years ago when
Speaker 1: I started blogging and writing in the subjects that I
Speaker 1: write on I would have thought it was insane to
Speaker 1: think that the majority of these industries, be the music industry,
Speaker 1: Hollywood entertainment, etc. That they were essentially controlled and had
Speaker 1: a intimate tie in to the intelligence complex in industry
Speaker 1: intelligence so called, of course, and what the intelligence complex
Speaker 1: in this regard refers to is really the culture creation complex.
Speaker 1: Now we've talked about this many times. I've mentioned the
Speaker 1: graduate classes that I did in terms of Marxist critical
Speaker 1: theory and the Frankfurt School. And if we recall, the
Speaker 1: Frankfurt School was, of course this later incarnation of Marxism
Speaker 1: that primarily focused on culture and the culture industry. And
Speaker 1: so this would be figures like Theodore Adorno, Matt Max Horkheimer,
Speaker 1: and of course the seminal book Dialectic of Enlightenment, where
Speaker 1: they chart the progress or process of culture so to speak,
Speaker 1: or what they call culture in the twentieth century post
Speaker 1: World War two, and how this is really a tool
Speaker 1: of the what they call the capitalist powers. But Horkheimer
Speaker 1: and Adorno in that work, of course, take a very
Speaker 1: mara Nietzschean approach to things. They no longer hold to
Speaker 1: the utopian or progressive ideas of the Proletary Revolution. Marxism
Speaker 1: by that time had discarded this idea as unrealistic given
Speaker 1: the wars and so forth, and the focus shifted towards culture.
Speaker 1: And that's essentially what the Frankfurt School did was begin
Speaker 1: to look at cultural analysis, culture critique, culture critique, and
Speaker 1: the idea that you could change things, so to speak,
Speaker 1: by constant and perpetual negation. Right, constant critique, You critique
Speaker 1: the guy after you critiques your critique, and then critique
Speaker 1: of the critique of the critique, ad infinitum. Now that
Speaker 1: is relevant because that's where we start to see, as
Speaker 1: we know, the Italian into things like the Central Intelligence
Speaker 1: Agency in the forties and fifties being connected to all
Speaker 1: of these ADMIN and the AD guys going to work
Speaker 1: for the Pentagon vice versa revolving door scenario, and from
Speaker 1: there what you have is the control of the culture industry. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to take the Marxist view of all
Speaker 1: of this, because that is merely one aspect of controlled dialectics,
Speaker 1: of course, but there's no doubt that what they're calling,
Speaker 1: of course, the capitalist imperialist powers in the Marxist critique,
Speaker 1: elements of that are correct. And so far as it
Speaker 1: is the corporate big business atmosphere, so to speak, that
Speaker 1: dominates in that pyramidal hierarchy, and of course above that
Speaker 1: would be the banks and the international crime syndicate families,
Speaker 1: the so called illuminati, whatever appellations and terms you'd like
Speaker 1: to choose. Now, once you dive deeper and deeper into this,
Speaker 1: you begin to see, as I said now ten years later,
Speaker 1: having done quite a bit of work in this field,
Speaker 1: and even focusing in my graduate work and my master's
Speaker 1: work on that very topic, it's all very plain to me.
Speaker 1: As I said ten years ago, it sounded crazy. What
Speaker 1: CIA in Hollywood? That doesn't make any sense? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and why would that be? Well, because the CIA and
Speaker 1: OSS and so forth were certainly involved in foreign espionage
Speaker 1: and covert operations. But here, at least, it's largely about
Speaker 1: public opinion, swaying mass opinions, swaying attitudes and so forth.
Speaker 1: And it's the same power structure that runs the roundtable
Speaker 1: groups and so forth. As we saw in Carol Quigley's
Speaker 1: Trgy and Hope, and as we will see in my
Speaker 1: coming lectures on the entirety of the book, it is
Speaker 1: those power structures that set up the CFR and the
Speaker 1: media mogul organizations in the US, and that would even
Speaker 1: include people that we think are so called media moguls,
Speaker 1: Rupert Murdoch and so forth. They're all part of the
Speaker 1: same establishment. They're not operating outside the box. They just
Speaker 1: operate within the pyramidal structure, choosing whether it be MSNBC
Speaker 1: or Fox or whatever, choosing the faux left right dialectic.
Speaker 1: And this is all about manipulation and creation of culture.
Speaker 1: And Dave's book is important in this regard because it
Speaker 1: fits right into that critique. And it fits into that
Speaker 1: critique because he is dealing with the rise of the counterculture.
Speaker 1: This is the nineteen sixties free love, counterculture revolution of
Speaker 1: hippies and you know, all the things that we all
Speaker 1: know in the popular vernacular, and most of that is
Speaker 1: traced to the hate Ashbury District of San Francisco in mainstream. However,
Speaker 1: McGowan's thesis is that know, we must look a little
Speaker 1: bit earlier to the area of Hollywood, la and Laurel Canyon,
Speaker 1: and it is there that we will actually find the
Speaker 1: beginning of the counterculture movement. And rather than it being counterculture,
Speaker 1: in fact, it is establishment counterculture. The establishment was not
Speaker 1: unaware of the rise of the counterculture. It was not
Speaker 1: a purely organic movement of ideal logs and free love
Speaker 1: revolutionaries who sought to overthrow the strictures and taboos of
Speaker 1: the prior existing forties and fifties framework of the Protestant
Speaker 1: work ethic and the company man, so to speak. It
Speaker 1: was rather something foreseeing and steered in a certain direction.
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean that there weren't artists and musicians
Speaker 1: involved in the movements that were not sincere or had
Speaker 1: political activism and motivations as part of their their ethos,
Speaker 1: but rather that the movement as a whole could be
Speaker 1: steered simply by propping up the figures that were there
Speaker 1: to be establishment figures, right, the chosen people to who
Speaker 1: would be, say the Jim Morrison, or to be the
Speaker 1: John Phillips, to be the Frank Zappa. Those are the
Speaker 1: people who would receive the establishment support, getting the record
Speaker 1: deals and so forth, getting the feature stories and Rolling Stone,
Speaker 1: getting a major airtime, getting television time and so forth.
Speaker 1: That would propel them, right, because it's all about, you know,
Speaker 1: becoming big on that level, becoming an icon is not
Speaker 1: something that happens organically, it can only in our system.
Speaker 1: It can only happen with the support of the system itself.
Speaker 1: And that's because of the tremendous amount of money that
Speaker 1: it takes to become one of these icons. It's not
Speaker 1: organic now. If it ever happens organically, the machines and
Speaker 1: methods are in place to make sure that organic rise
Speaker 1: is co opted. And that's another aspect of McGowan's thesis
Speaker 1: in this book is that whatever artists and musicians of
Speaker 1: the sixties that were legitimately counterculture, they were either co
Speaker 1: opted eventually or they were just kind of filtered out
Speaker 1: and faded into obscurity and oblivion to make way for
Speaker 1: the non political, non activist icons of essentially hedonism and
Speaker 1: and cultural degeneracy. And that's why they would be promoted.
Speaker 1: And that fits perfectly into the Frankfurt School modern abstract art.
Speaker 1: All of this is burgeoning at the same time, right,
Speaker 1: and then you can see why that fits in. We
Speaker 1: would rather have icons of hedonism blowing your brains out
Speaker 1: on drugs, dying at twenty seven, right than a person's
Speaker 1: who might promote healthy ideas or genuine anti war activists, right,
Speaker 1: who weren't just mindlessly anti war like some sort of
Speaker 1: occupy movement, but rather have perhaps something more to say
Speaker 1: than mindless slogans. And no, none of that is amenable
Speaker 1: to the system in which we inhabit now, which is
Speaker 1: a culture industry. It's a massive substruct superstructure of interlocking corporations,
Speaker 1: banging NGOs and so forth that exists to re engineer humanity.
Speaker 1: And as we've said many times and others and other
Speaker 1: shows have pointed out, it's a business plan. It's a
Speaker 1: business plan that's laid out in stages, and there are actuaries,
Speaker 1: and there are prognostications and white papers and plans and strategies.
Speaker 1: And this comes in all forms and fashions, be it government,
Speaker 1: be it private, for how to get to a desired
Speaker 1: place down the road, and what the desired place will
Speaker 1: be down the road, and then how to go to
Speaker 1: the next stage or phase. Much like we have made
Speaker 1: the analogy many times of a supermarket will receive a
Speaker 1: facelift and you'll move all of the old advertisements and
Speaker 1: end caps out to put in the new right. And
Speaker 1: this usually takes a process of several weeks, depending on
Speaker 1: what store you work at, and that's because it needs
Speaker 1: to constantly be updated. You always need to be ahead
Speaker 1: of the game, know the trends and so forth, and
Speaker 1: then of course also create the trends. And that's really
Speaker 1: getting to the heart of Dave's thesis in his book
Speaker 1: is that the icons of the leftist cause were not
Speaker 1: sincere genuine icons of the leftist cause, and he provides
Speaker 1: a host of examples of how that is, which we're
Speaker 1: going to see her nam in as we get into
Speaker 1: the meat of Dave's book, which begins in chapter one
Speaker 1: with the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and this is where
Speaker 1: we have the story of Admiral Morrison, the father of
Speaker 1: Jim Morrison, who was in fact directly involved in the
Speaker 1: false flag event known as the Gulf of Tonken, which
Speaker 1: led to the quagmire of Vietnam. Now I want to
Speaker 1: mention before we get to the meat of Dave's book
Speaker 1: in chapter one that if you like his material, I
Speaker 1: have my own book that is very similar. While Dave
Speaker 1: tends to focus on the music industry, my book focuses
Speaker 1: on film in Hollywood, and so in many ways it's similar,
Speaker 1: although I deal a lot more with symbolism and the
Speaker 1: esoteric in regards to various films that most of us
Speaker 1: have seen, such as Kubrick Films two thousand and one,
Speaker 1: David Lynch movies, Hitchcock seven, all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: those classics, as well as newer films including some eighties
Speaker 1: fantasy kid films that we all grew up with. If
Speaker 1: you're around my age, and I really delve deeply into
Speaker 1: the meaning and sometimes the subtext and subtle hidden meanings
Speaker 1: in those films that you're not going to find elsewhere.
Speaker 1: So I would encourage you if you like Dave's book,
Speaker 1: you'll also very much like Esoteric Hollywood Sex Cults and
Speaker 1: Symbols and Film. And as of now, this is May fifteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. The book is scheduled to release in one month,
Speaker 1: but it can be pre ordered now. You can order
Speaker 1: your copy through Trying Day Publishers or on Amazon. And
Speaker 1: as I said, the title is Esotery Hollywood Sex Cults
Speaker 1: and Symbols and Film. So you know, funny thing happened.
Speaker 1: I actually had to go about most of my manuscript
Speaker 1: was done in terms of the content about a year ago.
Speaker 1: I had to do a lot of rewriting and revisions,
Speaker 1: and it was after that that I read Dave's books,
Speaker 1: so I actually had to go back and add in
Speaker 1: a good bit of material and information that I got
Speaker 1: from Dave mcgallan because it was so relevant to what
Speaker 1: I had done, particularly in regards to how aspects of
Speaker 1: the Lookout Mountain laboratories and so forth tie into Hollywood,
Speaker 1: and Dave's book, Laurel Canyon Scene also ties into a
Speaker 1: lot of Hollywood figures as well, but as I said,
Speaker 1: focuses on the music industry and the music counterculture. So
Speaker 1: but I wanted to mention that because you'll like my
Speaker 1: book if you like this, it's very much in the
Speaker 1: same vein. And in fact, Amazon actually classes them together,
Speaker 1: so you know they do that promo of buy this
Speaker 1: and you also get this for thirty five dollars or whatever.
Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with that. That was all
Speaker 1: Amazon's decision. So I'm very honored to be classed with
Speaker 1: Dave's book because it was really good. It was a
Speaker 1: fun read, and I know that you guys out there
Speaker 1: listening will we'll enjoy both of these books. So I
Speaker 1: would encourage you to take advantage of that Amazon discount
Speaker 1: there and get them both, because both books go well together.
Speaker 1: And you know, my book, as I said, is a
Speaker 1: kind of a compliment to him, and it wasn't intended
Speaker 1: that way. It just kind of happened that way because
Speaker 1: I'd only come in contact with his material, as I said,
Speaker 1: you know, a year and a half ago, two years ago,
Speaker 1: and the majority of my essays had already been written
Speaker 1: by them as well. So this is also not intended
Speaker 1: to be a replacement for the actual reading of his book.
Speaker 1: If you've listened to Jason Aalysis talks over the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, as I've really started focusing on doing
Speaker 1: these regularly, you'll know that we've done a few book reports,
Speaker 1: quite a few, and my book reports are not substitutes
Speaker 1: for actual reading of the book, precisely because Dave's book
Speaker 1: is three hundred pages. You're not going to be able
Speaker 1: to get all the material in a couple audio talks
Speaker 1: that you will get if you actually purchase and read
Speaker 1: the book. I know that's crazy to talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: actually buying a book and reading it. We live in
Speaker 1: the age of the YouTube video, but that is a pathetic,
Speaker 1: pale replacement for the actual reading of books. So please
Speaker 1: do get Dave's book. I recommend it I'm still working
Speaker 1: on the Jay's Analysis recommended reading list, but certainly this
Speaker 1: will be on there. And if you do a website,
Speaker 1: narrowing down the choices for the recommended reading list is actually,
Speaker 1: for me at least, very difficult decision. So a lot
Speaker 1: of factors come into that, and trying to figure out
Speaker 1: like what the top five in different categories are, it's
Speaker 1: not easy. But anyway, let's get to Dave's book. Now.
Speaker 1: He begins, as we said, talking about Vietnam and how
Speaker 1: that was a scam and what ultimately of course tie
Speaker 1: into drug running and all that through back in the
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties, through the Gulf of Tonkin false flag incident,
Speaker 1: which mobilized the population to support this ridiculous, unpopular war.
Speaker 1: And we learned that Frank Zappa's author of all People
Speaker 1: was a chemical warfare specialist assigned to the Edgewood Arsenal
Speaker 1: near Baltimore, Maryland. He was deeply enmeshed in the program
Speaker 1: as well as frequently being cited in MK ULTRA operations. Now,
Speaker 1: why would I say that, Well, that's according today, But
Speaker 1: that makes sense because mk Ultra was classified under by
Speaker 1: a warfare because it was the use of chemical agents right,
Speaker 1: So it makes perfect sense why we would see that
Speaker 1: Dave moves from there to talk about the characters in
Speaker 1: the Phillips family. Now, this is a very complex, confusing genealogy.
Speaker 1: This is all new to me. Obviously everybody's heard the
Speaker 1: mom is in the papas, but I don't really I
Speaker 1: can't keep up with all this family and who's who
Speaker 1: and all this because it's just crazy. But basically the
Speaker 1: dawn of the family here. Papa John Phillips was a
Speaker 1: major figure in the Laurel Canyon scene and the emerging
Speaker 1: counter culture across America. Phillips would pin an inspiring, an
Speaker 1: insipid song known as San Francisco be Sure to Wear
Speaker 1: Flowers in your Hair that quickly rose to the top
Speaker 1: of the pop charts. McGowan says, and along with the
Speaker 1: Monterey Pop Festival and the sixty seven Hate Ashbury phenomenon,
Speaker 1: this is really what got the sixties revolution going in
Speaker 1: the pop scene. They're also going to tie into the
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven Summer of Love, I'm saying. They're also
Speaker 1: going to tie into the Manson family, the quote family
Speaker 1: who spent time at the log Cabin and the home
Speaker 1: of Mama Cass all right, big old Mama Cass. So
Speaker 1: not only will that be relevant, but it's also going
Speaker 1: to tie into Crosby, Stills and Nash. We mentioned Frank Zappa.
Speaker 1: It's going to tie into CIA operations. Actually so, John
Speaker 1: Phillips apparently spent time in Havana, Cuba, during the height
Speaker 1: of the Cuban Revolution quote, fighting for Castro, according to
Speaker 1: his own claims. Now, this does seem a little bit
Speaker 1: ridiculous that this very well connected Western establishment family would
Speaker 1: would that this guy would go off to fight for Castro.
Speaker 1: But then again, when we think about Castro and Cha,
Speaker 1: they also were members of the establishment who became icons
Speaker 1: and figures of counter culture and counter establishment. I believe
Speaker 1: both Chay and Fidel were from prominent, wealthy families of lawyers,
Speaker 1: something to that effect. They both, especially Fidel, had a
Speaker 1: period where he was an actor. This is you can
Speaker 1: see this on his IMDb page, where he had small
Speaker 1: roles in films in the nineteen forties. Now, on top
Speaker 1: of all that, Stills will pen perhaps the first and
Speaker 1: certainly one of the most disturbing anthems of the sixties
Speaker 1: generation called Bluebird. And that's interesting because that's also a
Speaker 1: title of a project in mk ultra. And so what
Speaker 1: we begin to see, and the reason that I think
Speaker 1: a lot of what Dave's talking about is legit is
Speaker 1: because you know, the majority of the purpose of mkultra
Speaker 1: was not the programmed assassin creation of multiples and altars
Speaker 1: and dissociative states in some individual spy, but rather to
Speaker 1: apply those techniques on a mass scale to the population
Speaker 1: as a whole. Why would you do that, well, to
Speaker 1: create the brave new world scenario, to create the mass
Speaker 1: population of completely controlled, drugged up zombies. And that's really
Speaker 1: where we're going and where we're we pretty much are.
Speaker 1: And this quote revolution was a big part of that,
Speaker 1: the sixties revolution. And again it benefits the establishment, right,
Speaker 1: and the establishment doesn't care about counterculture individuals out there
Speaker 1: calling for radically new ways of living. All of that
Speaker 1: ultimately benefits the designs of the establishment. And so Dave
Speaker 1: argues that before John Phillips arrived in Laurel Canyon, Stephen
Speaker 1: Stills was another product of a career military family. This
Speaker 1: is Crosby Stills in nash In other words, raised in Texas,
Speaker 1: Young Steven spent large swaths of his childhood in El Salvador,
Speaker 1: Costa Rica and Panama and various parts of Central America,
Speaker 1: alongside his father who was helping to quote spread the
Speaker 1: democracy and as well as being educated at military bases
Speaker 1: and elite military academies exactly, he had an abrasive authoritarian personality. Well,
Speaker 1: that's how people in the military usually are. And so
Speaker 1: Stills was involved in CIA Special Forces in Noms noms
Speaker 1: Nom nominam in Vietnam. He served with uniform ground troops
Speaker 1: in Vietnam. But what will be ignored is the undeniable
Speaker 1: fact Day rights that the US had thousands of advisors,
Speaker 1: that is, CIA Special Forces operatives active as ground troops
Speaker 1: in Vietnam exactly. And we will also be talking about
Speaker 1: in a future show Apocalypse Now. And this will tie
Speaker 1: in again to Day's work with his book Program to Kill,
Speaker 1: because Dave argues that the Phoenix program right the mass
Speaker 1: murder supposedly of the Vietcong, which was actually mass murder
Speaker 1: of women and children in villages as part of a
Speaker 1: CIA program special forces program that probably could have led
Speaker 1: to the serial killer phenomenon because they have all these
Speaker 1: guys who were forced and trained to kill women and children,
Speaker 1: not be a Kong and then when they come back,
Speaker 1: they're complete psychos and multiple altar possessed wackos who then
Speaker 1: become perhaps involved in the serial killer phenomenon, right Henry
Speaker 1: Lee Lucas and these kind of characters. Also interesting is
Speaker 1: the connections of these people, the Flying Burrito Brothers one
Speaker 1: of these more to me at least obscure bands and
Speaker 1: Crosby to the Mob. And this is an aspect of
Speaker 1: all this that we've been talking about quite a bit
Speaker 1: here at Jays Analysis in the last year or two.
Speaker 1: Is the mob tie into this stuff, because that's also
Speaker 1: very real now, the theater of the FBI versus the
Speaker 1: mob and the CIA and the government and the corporate
Speaker 1: agents and the mob, and you know, everybody warring. We
Speaker 1: teach it that's not really right, right, So the way
Speaker 1: that you see it in the movies of everybody kind
Speaker 1: of warring at each other's, you know, by battling each
Speaker 1: that's not really the case. Perhaps at certain times, in
Speaker 1: different degrees that happens. The FBI might bust mobsters somewhere,
Speaker 1: but this is generally or the CIA might have some
Speaker 1: kind of covert operation where they take out some quote
Speaker 1: drug lord. As if you watch the movie Cecario that
Speaker 1: kind of hinted at this, but that's also kind of
Speaker 1: theatrics because we know that the CIA basically teamed up
Speaker 1: with the mob, and that's how the drug running happened
Speaker 1: right throughout sixties, seventies and eighties and so forth, you know,
Speaker 1: with Unholy Alliance, right and Dave or Webb, Gary Webb's book, right,
Speaker 1: So that also tied into the mob, and it's always
Speaker 1: been that way. And I like that McGowan talks about
Speaker 1: a lot of the mob connections, particularly in relation to
Speaker 1: Mickey Dolans, not that Mickey Dolan's was a mobster, but
Speaker 1: that Monkey Mickey Dolans et eccentric prodigy. Van Dyke parks
Speaker 1: that these people were connected to James Taylor and all
Speaker 1: spent time in the Laurel Canyon scene around Larry Wildman Fisher,
Speaker 1: who was institutionalized repeatedly during his teens for attacking his
Speaker 1: mother with a knife. And finally you meet the offspring
Speaker 1: of an organized crime figure, Warren Zevon, the son of
Speaker 1: William Stumpy Zevon, the infamous lieutenant for Mickey Cohen, so
Speaker 1: number two under Mickey Cohen, I guess, or something to
Speaker 1: that effect. And so you've got this this fascinating nexus
Speaker 1: of criminal syndicates, be it drugs, be it cia, culture creation,
Speaker 1: be it corporate interests, military interests, so forth, mobsters that
Speaker 1: all will benefit from the promotion of this counterculture. Right now,
Speaker 1: think about in terms of say drugs, what does the
Speaker 1: counterculture do for Well, it makes drugs very popular, very sexy.
Speaker 1: Right now, So if you could purchase cocaine one hundred
Speaker 1: years ago at your local apothecary then, you know, or
Speaker 1: opium or something derivative to that effect, Well, it's not
Speaker 1: very sexy. It's not that big of a deal, is it, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, you might have some old guy who you know,
Speaker 1: is sixty years old and he's the town opium attic
Speaker 1: or something like you know, Belle Dagosi or Charlock Holmes
Speaker 1: dye character or something like. You mean, I have some
Speaker 1: image of a guy like that, but it didn't appear
Speaker 1: to be rampant. Now. I'm sure that housewives, as I understand,
Speaker 1: were at different times in the forties and fifties taking
Speaker 1: quite a few pills and narcotics and so forth. And
Speaker 1: that's but that's because that was of course marketed as
Speaker 1: solutions to the morose grind of the daily housewife lifestyle. Right,
Speaker 1: and so you needed some some picker upper or something,
Speaker 1: or some stimulant some or conversely some calming effect. And
Speaker 1: so their work. As I understand, quite a few pill
Speaker 1: popping mommies in the forties and fifties, but that still
Speaker 1: was marketed as something medicinal. And so what happens in
Speaker 1: the sixties is that kind of like the temperance movement
Speaker 1: and you know, alcohol, the speakeasies and all this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, is that it makes it underground, it makes
Speaker 1: it sexy, it makes it popular, and it makes it
Speaker 1: a valuable hidden commodity. Right. It's it's it's esoteric right
Speaker 1: to get a hold of drugs and to know you're dealer,
Speaker 1: and who where do you get it? Oh? You get
Speaker 1: it here? And oh right, and it's it's it becomes
Speaker 1: an aspect of the counterculture, which ultimately benefits the market
Speaker 1: that surrounds the drugs. Right. So it's tremendously profitable for
Speaker 1: certain families and interests to have it illegal and thereby
Speaker 1: maintain a monopoly on the drug trade. Right. This is
Speaker 1: a whole incident that we see what we learned through
Speaker 1: freeway Ricky Ross and all those situations in the eighties
Speaker 1: and nineties with the crack epidemic, right, and so it's
Speaker 1: it's the same with what's going on here in the sixties,
Speaker 1: that the drug epidemic that begins to flower or is
Speaker 1: intentionally promoted by the establishment. And this is why I
Speaker 1: talk a lot about hallucinogens that you see all these
Speaker 1: alternative media counterculture figures promoting hallucinogens like this is some
Speaker 1: sort of new salvation or something, and it's all spiritual
Speaker 1: in all this crowd. No, it's directly out of Brave
Speaker 1: New World. That's what Alto sexually said, and that is
Speaker 1: the beginnings of the mk ulture program, at least it's
Speaker 1: British equivalent through Tavistock and so forth. And that was written,
Speaker 1: as we said many times in nineteen thirty two, predicting
Speaker 1: where we would be nowadays. But to get to where
Speaker 1: we are nowadays from nineteen thirty two, Brave New World,
Speaker 1: what we need things like sixties revolution, you see, that's
Speaker 1: the bridge to today now. Of course, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of other things that are bridges as well. Unpopular wars
Speaker 1: and so forth can actually be bridges, believe it or not. Yes,
Speaker 1: an unpopular war can be useful for the shaping of
Speaker 1: new opinions, right for the shaping of making America intentionally unpopular.
Speaker 1: Right now, that sounds a little outlandish, but no, that's
Speaker 1: because America is ultimately intended to be dismantled. And is
Speaker 1: why Well, because it's the beta version of the New
Speaker 1: World Order right now. We have other figures that come
Speaker 1: into play here, Abby Hoffman, And as I said, the
Speaker 1: promotion of LSD, this is all at the behest of
Speaker 1: the CIA. Now I'm not just getting this from Dave's book,
Speaker 1: but this is well known. Everybody knows Tim Larry worked
Speaker 1: for the CIA. You know, Princeton and Yale are promoting this. Harvard,
Speaker 1: they're promoting CIA. M culture experiments were done there. The
Speaker 1: unibomber was, according to his obituary, involved in the M
Speaker 1: culture program. Look that up. That's in either LA Times
Speaker 1: or New York Times in his obituary. So Peter Coyote,
Speaker 1: who is the key master in ET if you've seen ET,
Speaker 1: the Guy with the Keys, narrates a documentary on hippies
Speaker 1: the History Channel, pointing out that some on the left
Speaker 1: even theorized that hippies were the end result of a
Speaker 1: plot by the CIA to neutralize anti war movements with
Speaker 1: lsd AT turning protesters and these self absorbed naval gazers. Yes, actually,
Speaker 1: Peter Coyote is correct. Now, Peter Coyote is that Marxist
Speaker 1: as I understand, and I point this out in my
Speaker 1: et analysis, But curious that he kind of figured out
Speaker 1: what was going on here. This hippie movement didn't actually
Speaker 1: change anything for the good. It did change things for
Speaker 1: the bad and neutralized all of the perhaps legitimate anti
Speaker 1: war sentiment. Well that's at least Dave's thesis, and I
Speaker 1: think the or something to that, and you may it
Speaker 1: makes perfect sense, right, because again it's brave New World.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's not hard to figure this out.
Speaker 1: This brave New World is about, you know, turning everybody
Speaker 1: into drug down zombies. And yeah, I mean, there's just
Speaker 1: so many connections that it is going to be difficult
Speaker 1: to point them out. But one of the important ones
Speaker 1: I think we should mention here is Phil Spector, the
Speaker 1: legendary music producer and I believe convicted murderer. If I
Speaker 1: recall from the nineties, whose crack team of studio musicians,
Speaker 1: the Wrecking Crew are the actual musicians who play the recordings,
Speaker 1: the LPs when you hear the Monkeys, the Birds, the
Speaker 1: Beach Boys, the Mamas, and the Papas right now, not
Speaker 1: necessarily every song, but the Wrecking Crew is the actual
Speaker 1: music behind these so called bands, while the bands function
Speaker 1: as kind of advertising fronts. That's interesting. Now. Another interesting
Speaker 1: connection is that we have Marie. The next day's next
Speaker 1: chapter was going to deal with the Laurel Canyon death list,
Speaker 1: and this is the prominent people who spent time in
Speaker 1: this region who did not live too long, and they
Speaker 1: didn't live too long because they're living this not just
Speaker 1: this wild lifestyle, but also because there could be other
Speaker 1: things involved. Right, They could have known where all the
Speaker 1: bodies are, They could have this death, could have been
Speaker 1: staged to create icons and martyrs. I mean, who knows, right,
Speaker 1: But he mentions Marina Elizabeth Habe, whose body was carved
Speaker 1: up and tossed in the heavy brush along Mulholland Drive,
Speaker 1: think of David Lynch's film Muholland Drive just west of
Speaker 1: Beaumont Drive in nineteen sixty eight. Habe, seventeen at the
Speaker 1: time or death, was the daughter of Hans Hobb Hans
Speaker 1: Hobb was in the OSS. So here we are right
Speaker 1: back to intelligence connections here, and he goes through and
Speaker 1: mentions several weird the unexpected connections to Laurel Canyon, Jimmy
Speaker 1: Hendrix being one who served a stint in the Army
Speaker 1: in the Hunter first Airn Airborne Division at Fort Campbell.
Speaker 1: That's actually not too far from where I am, and
Speaker 1: so I can understand that. But Hendricks was managed by
Speaker 1: a guy who was in the mob. Apparently, Michael Jeffrey
Speaker 1: was known to openly boast of having organized crime connections
Speaker 1: and working also for the CIA. What mob and c
Speaker 1: How could that be? Well, it makes sense if you
Speaker 1: understand what I've been telling you. After Jimmy's death, it
Speaker 1: was discovered that Jeffrey had been funneling most of Hendricks's
Speaker 1: money to all short accounts in the Bahamas for drug trafficking.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Jim Morrison, his father, as we said,
Speaker 1: help choreograph the Gulf of ton Keen incident. A few
Speaker 1: years after Jim's death, his common law wife, Pamela Corson
Speaker 1: dropped dead as well of a heroin overdose. Like Hendrix,
Speaker 1: Morrison had been an avid student of the occult, in
Speaker 1: particular fondness for the work of Crowley. So we're going
Speaker 1: to see Crowley popping up in the underground here pretty
Speaker 1: consistently throughout McGowan's book. And that's well everybody knows. I
Speaker 1: think that Frank Sinatra had MOB connections, but perhaps not that. Also,
Speaker 1: I don't know if Dave talks about it, but I
Speaker 1: don't recall. But Frank was also apparently an informant for
Speaker 1: the FBI on the Mob, So they're kind of everybody's
Speaker 1: watching everyone else and keeping tabs on everybody. And now
Speaker 1: Mama cass of this. And the reason a lot of
Speaker 1: these people are listed here is that they are members
Speaker 1: of the twenty seven Club, and the twenty seven Club
Speaker 1: includes people like Jennis Joplin. I believe Kirk Cobain is
Speaker 1: in that club, and he doesn't relate to Laurel Canyon
Speaker 1: per se, but Amy Winehouse is in the twenty seven Club.
Speaker 1: These are performers who died or died under mysterious circumstances
Speaker 1: or so called quote died at the age of twenty seven,
Speaker 1: which is bizarre, isn't it. And I'm not going to
Speaker 1: list everybody in here. You're going to have to go
Speaker 1: read the book. But there's plenty of people that have
Speaker 1: strange deaths. Graham Parsons connections these kinds of people, connections
Speaker 1: to Paul McCartney, who spent a significant amount of time
Speaker 1: in the Laurel Canyon scene. So quick way to end
Speaker 1: up dead, spend time in the Laurel Canyon scene. Phil
Speaker 1: Oakes is the next character who comes to the forefront
Speaker 1: as this I believe this is the guy who's this
Speaker 1: musical prodigy if I remember correctly, and he ends up
Speaker 1: more or less insane if I'm thinking of the right guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so he ends up undergoing electro shock, and it
Speaker 1: appears that he's the programs that they put this music guy,
Speaker 1: the psychedelic rock guy. He's a pioneer of psychedelic rock,
Speaker 1: right phil Oaks and Ohs. And he ends up being
Speaker 1: shocked in electroshock and undergoing basically what looks like MK
Speaker 1: ultra style treatments so to speak, so called quote treatments
Speaker 1: that basically drive him insane. And he heard voices all
Speaker 1: of his life, which reminds me if you listen to
Speaker 1: that Goofy documentary what is it? The name escapes me,
Speaker 1: but it's the one that everybody's heard of. It's on
Speaker 1: you know, it's been on YouTube for years of Satanism
Speaker 1: and rock and roll. It's not Hell's Bells, it's something
Speaker 1: else that was from the nineties. But it's the guy
Speaker 1: who has a really annoying voice.
Speaker 2: Pastor Jill Shima. This is Pastor Joel Shimmel. Did you
Speaker 2: know that Manon Madson is an eagle guy and he
Speaker 2: worships the devil? Here you can see in whose rock
Speaker 2: videos he shows the son of the Devil.
Speaker 1: That's exactly how he talks. I can't remember the name
Speaker 1: of that video set. But there are interviews in that
Speaker 1: documentary with Brian Wilson in different beach Boy characters where
Speaker 1: they describe also hearing voices. Now that does that mean
Speaker 1: that this is all true? You know, who knows. But
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of these musicians who are
Speaker 1: all tripped out on acid do they do experience these
Speaker 1: kinds of things. I have seen crazy stuff in my
Speaker 1: younger days when I unfortunately did LSD, So I can
Speaker 1: believe it, and I could believe that a lot of
Speaker 1: these people are just basically mentally ill and that they
Speaker 1: could be part of you know, government social engineering knowingly
Speaker 1: or unknowingly. Now we come next to the character of
Speaker 1: Chuck Heath, who was born in nineteen thirty eight and
Speaker 1: his family lived on Farmdale Avenue near the base at
Speaker 1: Laurel Canyon. There's military base there close to where Lookout
Speaker 1: Mountain Studios is located. And guess who Chuck Heath is
Speaker 1: one of these prominent families in the Laurel Canyon scene.
Speaker 1: Can you guess who Chuck Heath is? The father of
Speaker 1: Sarah Palin? Can't make this stuff up. This is just wacky,
Speaker 1: I know. But yeah, now Lookout Mountain area. And by
Speaker 1: the way, listeners, we will probably be Jason Elysis will
Speaker 1: be doing on the scene reporting soon. I believe we're
Speaker 1: going to check out Laurel Canyon and Mulholland Drive in
Speaker 1: la very soon and we will be trying to get
Speaker 1: pictures of all this and check it out firsthand. So yes,
Speaker 1: I'm actually going to take a trip there soon. And
Speaker 1: the Lookout in Wonderland Park, Bungalow Land, the log Cabin.
Speaker 1: These are all bizarre sites and scenes and locales for
Speaker 1: everything from ritual magic and occultism to murders and perhaps
Speaker 1: ritual murders, right, all kinds of just insane craziness in
Speaker 1: that and in the Lookout Mountain area. So we will
Speaker 1: be I will be going there and checking it out,
Speaker 1: doing a little firsthand journalistic reporting, and I'll let you
Speaker 1: know what I see. Yes, Harry Houdini was a resident
Speaker 1: in Laurel Canyon. And if you didn't know it, the
Speaker 1: tie into intelligence in Hollywood, well, guess what. Harry Houdini
Speaker 1: was a spy for Scotland Yard. What do you know? Now.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I had to go back
Speaker 1: and redo in terms of my book was the Lookout
Speaker 1: Mountain Laboratory, which I mentioned in a few articles now,
Speaker 1: And this is relevant because you need to understand that
Speaker 1: the Lookout Mountain Laboratory was I'm going to quote Dave here,
Speaker 1: originally envisioned as a fortified air defense center, built in
Speaker 1: nineteen forty one and nestled in two and a half
Speaker 1: secluded acres off of what is now Wonderland Park Avenue.
Speaker 1: Curious title. The installation was hidden from you and surrounded
Speaker 1: by an electric fence. By nineteen forty seven, the facility
Speaker 1: featured a fully operational movie studio. In fact, it is
Speaker 1: claimed that the world's only completely self contained movie studio
Speaker 1: is located here. With one hundred thousand square feet of
Speaker 1: floor space. The covert studio included sound stages, screening rooms,
Speaker 1: film processing labs, editing facilities and animation department, and seventeen
Speaker 1: climate controlled film vaults. It also hosts a helicopter pad
Speaker 1: and a bomb shelter. Over its lifetime, the studio produced
Speaker 1: some nineteen thousand classified motion pictures, bizarre more than all
Speaker 1: of the Hollywood studio systems combined. This makes Lower Canyon
Speaker 1: the actual motion picture capital of the world. Officially, the
Speaker 1: facility was run by the US Air Force. Interesting in
Speaker 1: what does the US Air Force also have purview and
Speaker 1: aegis over NASA and it did nothing more nefarious than
Speaker 1: process the Atomic Energy Commissions footage of the atomic nuclear
Speaker 1: bomb tests, which do look to be manufactured and manipulated images.
Speaker 1: The studio was clearly equipped to do far more than
Speaker 1: just process film. Lookout Mountain Laboratory head advanced research and
Speaker 1: development department that was on the cutting edge of new
Speaker 1: film technology. Such technological advances as three DFX come out
Speaker 1: of Laurel Canyon. Hollywood luminaries like John Ford, Jimmy Stewart,
Speaker 1: Howard Hawk's, Ronald Reagan being Crosby, Walt Disney had a Hopper,
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe. Were all given clearance to work at the
Speaker 1: facility on undisclosed projects. There is no indication that any
Speaker 1: of them ever spoke of their work at the clandestine studio.
Speaker 1: The facility retained as many as two hundred and fifty producers, directors, technicians, editors, animators,
Speaker 1: et cetera, civilian and military, all with top security clearances.
Speaker 1: Notice Disney connection there, See it's coming together. You're starting
Speaker 1: to see that these things are all linked. Disney is
Speaker 1: a massive Pentagon mind control operation. They all report work
Speaker 1: to work in a scheduled corner of Laurel Canyon. It
Speaker 1: had secret bunkers underground facility. The existence of this facility
Speaker 1: remained unknown to the general public until the nineties, though
Speaker 1: it had been rumored that the CIA operated secret movie studios.
Speaker 1: Well you go rumbored, sometimes remembers are true. Filmmaker Peter
Speaker 1: Kurran is the first to learn of its existence through
Speaker 1: classified documents he had attained while researching for his nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety five documentary Trinity and Beyond and Day points out
Speaker 1: that nobody has included this in their conspiracy literature. Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you, Dave. Awesome. Now let's look at some connections
Speaker 1: with CIA studios that relate to James Dean and Dennis Hopper.
Speaker 1: The nineteen fifties, as Barney Hoskins wrote in Hotel California,
Speaker 1: Laurel Canyon was home to the hippiest young actors Hoskins,
Speaker 1: Marlon Brando, James Dean, James Coburn, Dennis Hopper, Natalie Wood, etc.
Speaker 2: Et cetera.
Speaker 1: Yes, that is curious. Now a lot of suicides he
Speaker 1: brings up are connected to this. The Sunset Strip clubs
Speaker 1: where not strip clubs, but the Sunset strip Clubs, which
Speaker 1: I guess might as well have been strip club as
Speaker 1: host of the doors, the birds, the mothers, Peter Fonda,
Speaker 1: Dennis Hopper hunging out consistently in these circles. We have connections,
Speaker 1: interestingly to Robert Heinlein, a resident of the Laurel Canyon scene.
Speaker 1: And Robert Heinleine was, to my knowledge at least Crowley
Speaker 1: in in his science fiction philosophy. I don't know for
Speaker 1: sure if he was in any kind of cult, but
Speaker 1: I know that the presentation of his thought in his
Speaker 1: books is that you know you have with the moon
Speaker 1: is a harsh mistress. We have the libertarians working with
Speaker 1: the advanced AI to basically transcend global government. It's very bizarre.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows about Childhood's End, which is about the overlords
Speaker 1: quote unquote the gods, he the elite, so forth, being
Speaker 1: basically demonic. Heindlein was a graduate of the US Naval Academy,
Speaker 1: naval officer. He was a quote rabbit right winger, which
Speaker 1: of course that's not real right wing, that's libertarian system
Speaker 1: right wing, which is Krollian, isn't right. He was a
Speaker 1: good friend of Hubbard, who was also Krollian in his views.
Speaker 1: So Hindleine influenced Hubbard, you know, maybe without it's not
Speaker 1: an accident that both of them are writing these just
Speaker 1: infinite sci fi novels. I mean, come on, if you
Speaker 1: go and look at how and you know, probably some
Speaker 1: of these are ghost and I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: find it hard to believe, you know, as somebody who
Speaker 1: writes a lot that l Ron Hubbard was actually writing
Speaker 1: all of that. It's just insane. I mean, there's like
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of thousands of pages. But who knows.
Speaker 1: But I do know that ghost writing is a much
Speaker 1: more prevalent than you think, as well as people stealing stuff.
Speaker 1: So now Frank Zappa again comes back because he's a
Speaker 1: massive member of the Robert Heinlein fan club. Barry Miles
Speaker 1: notes in Zappa's biography that Les Petite Prince, the Little Prince,
Speaker 1: this famous kids novel that's now a kid's book or
Speaker 1: a movie including Robert heinlein classic sci fi Stranger in
Speaker 1: a Strange Land, is where Zappa would get a lot
Speaker 1: of the inspiration for his music. So it's interesting that
Speaker 1: these are the people who are promoted, right, In other words,
Speaker 1: you're in these certain circles. These circles are all connected
Speaker 1: to MOB and CIA and government and military intelligence. And
Speaker 1: these are the kids, the kids of these people are
Speaker 1: who are promoted into the One Light. Now Vito and
Speaker 1: the Freaks. This was a fascinating chapter because if you
Speaker 1: ever wondered how the idea or how the trend arose
Speaker 1: of groupies, all right, where did that come from? And
Speaker 1: that was part of this of social engineering marketing. This
Speaker 1: ties into to all this scene because Vito was this
Speaker 1: kind of weird guy who wandered around and basically just
Speaker 1: dallianced and engaged in orgies and so forth, and was
Speaker 1: I guess some kind of artist or film producer, a
Speaker 1: bunch of weirdos, and so you know, I masked this
Speaker 1: following of Bay babes, who I guess were more like
Speaker 1: kind of vagrant to runaways who ended up around the
Speaker 1: sky and Veto. The reason Vito's relevant is because both
Speaker 1: Mondo Hollywood Mondo style stuff, right, this arises out of
Speaker 1: the circles of Vito and these these weirdo films, and
Speaker 1: that Vito apparently had little concern over the death of
Speaker 1: his son, which was in bizarre circumstances. Vito was connected
Speaker 1: to mobsters Elmer Valentine who owned the club and the
Speaker 1: organizer of the Monterey Pop Festival, and Jay c. Bring,
Speaker 1: another mobster connected business guy. And Vito is the model
Speaker 1: for Manson and his family. That's why it's interesting. So
Speaker 1: these new alternative ways of living, excuse me, living in
Speaker 1: revolutionary alternate communities. This is pioneered by Veto in his
Speaker 1: quote freaks. And what they would do is because they
Speaker 1: were a spectacle, you know, decked out and all their weirdness,
Speaker 1: they would kind of go around to the different clubs
Speaker 1: where the doors of the birds were playing, and they
Speaker 1: would become the focus and they would bring people in.
Speaker 1: And Vito's chicks, I guess, would you know, kind of
Speaker 1: go around topless and kind of a forerunner perhaps to
Speaker 1: the feminist kind of slut walking type stuff. He was
Speaker 1: creating spectacle for the sake of spectacle. It has no meaning.
Speaker 1: But this is where Tim Leary comes in, because you
Speaker 1: know Leary was in for a time in the same
Speaker 1: circles and promoting these different kind of student magazines that
Speaker 1: it was all about alternative ways of living. Right, you
Speaker 1: don't have to go by all these strictures of nine
Speaker 1: to five's and you know what you got to do, man,
Speaker 1: is just you know, live day to day. And similar
Speaker 1: to the Jesus People movement where it evolves into weird
Speaker 1: pre millennial how Lindsay cults, and yes, how Lendsay's late
Speaker 1: Great Planet Earth, which is a pre millennial evangelical propaganda
Speaker 1: was very popular amongst the Jesus People movement. So that
Speaker 1: also is connected to these kinds of social engineering strategies
Speaker 1: and tools. Because moses Burg, I think it is moses
Speaker 1: Burg David Burd, one of the two, is the establishment
Speaker 1: connected founder of that cult. Who was also a pedophile.
Speaker 1: The Family of God cult, I'm talking about Children of God.
Speaker 1: This is different from the Manson family, but in that cult,
Speaker 1: which is a sex based cult, this is where you
Speaker 1: have the Phoenix family at River Phoenix, as well as
Speaker 1: Rose McGowan coming out of that cult. And so that's
Speaker 1: why and Rose mcgawan when she talks openly about this
Speaker 1: in plenty of interviews. But what's interesting is that that
Speaker 1: cult wasn't just a cult, but as usual, had establishment connections.
Speaker 1: Now I won't go too far into all the Manson stuff,
Speaker 1: but suffice to say that Dave's thesis is very, very
Speaker 1: provocative and very convincing that veto'sm O was the plan
Speaker 1: for a model for the kind of scenario that Manson
Speaker 1: was set up at the Spawn Ranch. And he's gonna
Speaker 1: list things like Vito considered himself an artist, a poet,
Speaker 1: just like Manson. Veto was a guru. Vito surrounded himself
Speaker 1: by a flock of young runaway Vito was considerably older
Speaker 1: than the followers. Veto addressed his flock as God. Veto
Speaker 1: called himself Captain Fuck while marylyn by it, while Manson
Speaker 1: called himself God a fuck. Veto is said to have
Speaker 1: an a virtually insatiable libido as Manson did. Vito adopted
Speaker 1: nicknames and depersonalized his called followers as Manson did. Vito's
Speaker 1: troop included Beverly Hills hairstylist Sheldon Jamon, while Manson's cult
Speaker 1: included hairstylist Charles Watson. Right, and so Watson texts Watson
Speaker 1: and Bobby boss Oleel is where we get into the
Speaker 1: associations with Kenneth Anger and Lucifer Rising and all that.
Speaker 1: The Robert de Grimston in the Processed Church. So I
Speaker 1: won't go into all that. Everybody can read on that
Speaker 1: on their own. That's been dealt with many times in
Speaker 1: different books. So next we come to LSD and the
Speaker 1: actors who like to trip, right, and who do we
Speaker 1: have here, Well, we have the sunset strip scene, and
Speaker 1: this makes up this is made up of people like
Speaker 1: Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern, Dennis Hopper, Warren Beatty,
Speaker 1: Jane Fonda, Nancy Sinatra, Sharon Tate. So this is the
Speaker 1: drug scene, connection to the LA to the Hollywood acting
Speaker 1: acting scene, whereas we were just dealing with the musician scene. Interesting,
Speaker 1: Bruce Dern is I believe was. He was something like
Speaker 1: a high level State department guy. And Bruce Dern is
Speaker 1: Laura Durn's dad, And if you've watched David Lynch movies,
Speaker 1: then you've seen quite a bit of Laura Dern, But
Speaker 1: most of us probably didn't know that Laura Durn's dad.
Speaker 1: I think dad or grandad was high level, high level
Speaker 1: spook State department type guy. So in regard to Michelle Phillips,
Speaker 1: John Phillips's early wife, just about everyone in the canyon
Speaker 1: had their way with her. So Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper,
Speaker 1: Warren Bady, Roman Polanski, Jean Clark of the Birds. Right,
Speaker 1: this is all right next to the Holland Drive. So
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting because if you read or if
Speaker 1: you watch David Lynch's Mall and Drive, you'll see that
Speaker 1: it's all about this kind of stuff, and there's a
Speaker 1: cult in the background, and that's more or less what
Speaker 1: Dave kind of you know, Dave's not really focusing on cults,
Speaker 1: but that's more or less the kind of atmosphere he's describing,
Speaker 1: and he does touch on the cults here and there,
Speaker 1: and we will see we'll see that this movie Easy
Speaker 1: Rider is a good iconic image of what's going on
Speaker 1: in this time period. The scene nineteen sixty nine film,
Speaker 1: and it's connected to the Solar Lodge. The oto Kenneth
Speaker 1: Ingers circles Satan's Children one of his films. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: one of the guys who was the art director on
Speaker 1: Easy Rider would direct Satan's children. This would be connected
Speaker 1: to the Manson group, and Bruce Dern is here. It
Speaker 1: is so Darn's parents had rather impressive political connections, given
Speaker 1: that the baby Bruce's godparents were Eleanor Roosevelt. Interesting. So
Speaker 1: Laura Darn's family are scolling bat and that's what's interesting.
Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying all of them. I'm saying that
Speaker 1: Archibald McLeish was essentially America's first Minister of war propaganda.
Speaker 1: He served at various times Assistant Secretary of State and
Speaker 1: the Library, Library or Congress. He was skulling bones and yeah,
Speaker 1: so just again, if you're if you're a David Lynch fan,
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty fascinating. But Dennis Hopper, we learn was
Speaker 1: apparently interested in the otos for some period of time.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was actually a member. I
Speaker 1: don't it doesn't say, but the families are all into
Speaker 1: the occult is what we kind of get out of
Speaker 1: that chapter. And that's relevant because well, that's what I
Speaker 1: talk about in Esseltaire Hollywood in some degree, not focusing
Speaker 1: on the families, but on the messages and mythologies that
Speaker 1: are presented in the films. So I do do deal
Speaker 1: with muholland Drive in my book and what revelations might
Speaker 1: be shown in that film. And you know, what's shown
Speaker 1: in the film, I argue, is pretty much what Dave
Speaker 1: is talking about here, right, So you definitely want to
Speaker 1: check that out. The Rand Corporation comes into this because
Speaker 1: you know, he mentions alex Obaya's book, because the Rand Corporation,
Speaker 1: of course, is located out there in California. Jerry Brown
Speaker 1: is connected to these circles. He's the you know, moonbeam
Speaker 1: or whatever they call him, the hippie governor of La
Speaker 1: quote unquote hippie, you're right, just an establishment figure. And yeah,
Speaker 1: the Billy Briars is part of this scene because he's
Speaker 1: the most infamous male madam, the wealthy son of an
Speaker 1: oil magnate and part time producer of gay porn. So
Speaker 1: Byers was said to have a stellar group of customers
Speaker 1: at his brothel at the summit of Laurel Canyon. So
Speaker 1: if you wonder why people call it Hollywood Babylon, well
Speaker 1: there you go. Now the father of LSD. Everybody would
Speaker 1: probably think Tim Leary, although you know tim Leary popularized it.
Speaker 1: But the guy who was cooking it up is a
Speaker 1: guy in the name of Augustus Owsley Stanley Owsley. So
Speaker 1: Owsley cooked up four million tabs throughout this period of LSD,
Speaker 1: which was that's where everybody was getting it. And the
Speaker 1: grateful Dead in their quote acid tests were the promoters
Speaker 1: of it. So Alsley bff with the dead. It was
Speaker 1: both a financial backer and a sound engineer for the dead,
Speaker 1: and he was the one making all the LSD. Owsley
Speaker 1: unleashed on the hate Ashbury district. A particularly nawe hallucinogen
Speaker 1: also known as STP, developed by the folks at dow Chemical.
Speaker 1: STP had tested extensively at been tested extensively at Zappa's
Speaker 1: home the Edgewood Arsenal as a possible former home Edgewood
Speaker 1: Arsenal as a as a possible bio warfare agent. Then
Speaker 1: it was distributed as a recreational drug well, there you go.
Speaker 1: You think that you are ruled by people who love you,
Speaker 1: or you think that things just happen organically. No, No,
Speaker 1: Dow Chemical did not develop a bio warfare agent that
Speaker 1: accidentally got out as a recreational drug that was let
Speaker 1: out to test what would happen to the masses of
Speaker 1: populations who basically became mind blown zombies. Now McGowan continues
Speaker 1: and he gets into the question of other older characters
Speaker 1: who spent time in these circles. Errol Flynn. Now, interestingly,
Speaker 1: Errol Flynn apparently was a Nazi sympathizer. I don't think
Speaker 1: Dave talks about that, but I've read that and talked
Speaker 1: about that in my book. And these circles by the
Speaker 1: seventies would be connected to Werner Erhard, the creator of
Speaker 1: the cult s to training cult which is so popular
Speaker 1: or was so popular at least at this time amongst
Speaker 1: corporate types. And that is what you see at the
Speaker 1: end of Madmen, where Don Draper joins a cult and
Speaker 1: he's joining st. Bill Hartman. Oddly enough, the Center Night
Speaker 1: Live comedian who had a strange death, was a album designer.
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, he designed album covers back in
Speaker 1: the day and he designed albums for Crosby Stills in
Speaker 1: nash So, believe it or not, Phil Hartman was in
Speaker 1: the Laurel Canyon circles, interesting because he met an untimely death.
Speaker 1: Roman Polanski Rosemary's Baby. These are all films, are Rosemary's Baby.
Speaker 1: I guess you could you could say that's a film
Speaker 1: that comes out of the spirit right of the Laurel
Speaker 1: Canyon scene, even though it's set you know at the
Speaker 1: what is it the Chelsea Hotel, No, whatever, that Dakota Building.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, the Dakota Building where where supposedly John Lennon
Speaker 1: was assassinated. Yeah, that that now. The Chelsea Hotel is
Speaker 1: where Nico Nico of Velvet Underground. Her debut album, Chelsea Girl,
Speaker 1: was derived from the Chelsea Hotel where Devin Wilson took
Speaker 1: a drive where the persona of John Train murdered the
Speaker 1: persona of Phil Oakes so interesting. Interesting. Now, if you've
Speaker 1: been listening since the beginning, this is my analysis of
Speaker 1: Dave McGowan's weird scenes inside the Canyon. Laurel Canyon covered
Speaker 1: ops in the Dark Heart of Hippie Dream and this
Speaker 1: is our two that's free. I want to invite you
Speaker 1: to subscribe to Jays Analysis for the full talks, lectures
Speaker 1: and interviews to get access to my archives. Very popular.
Speaker 1: I have almost all five star reviews across the board.
Speaker 1: I think the book's going to have the same positive status.
Speaker 1: My subscribers have ninety to ninety five satisfaction. They love
Speaker 1: what I do, and I want to thank all you subscribers,
Speaker 1: especially out there, that have kept me going, that have

Speaker 1: the record industries actually promoted all of this that was
Speaker 1: supposed to be counterculture and what that demonstrates. We're going
Speaker 1: to get into more of how the Eagles tie into
Speaker 1: this and all the bizarreness here, the Ultamont festival with
Speaker 1: the Rolling Stones and the mysterious death there, more Satanism,
Speaker 1: David Carrodine, Dennis Hopper, more of the situations, relating to
Speaker 1: Orson Wells or the Black Dahlia, how surrealism ties into
Speaker 1: this these different art movements. We're going to talk about
Speaker 1: all of that and break that down and even more
Speaker 1: depth in detail and really get to the meat. As
