WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:07.320 This is Jay Dyer. From Jay's analysis, You're listening to 2 00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:11.560 Esoteric Hollywood. Esoteric Hollywood is where I deconstruct the biggest 3 00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:13.880 films in an unparalleled way, from the classics of the 4 00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.079 silver screen to today's blockbusters. Learned to watch film with 5 00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:36.439 new eyes. As we enter esoteric Hollywood. Other media lie, 6 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:42.079 the media lizes, and this guy is gay, and this 7 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:48.880 guy is gay. You're listening to Esoteric Hollywood. I wanted 8 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.640 to do a summary review and analysis of Dave McGowan's 9 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.640 Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon Laurel Canyon covert Ops in 10 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.520 the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream. A lot of 11 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.040 people out there liked Dave's book, and I remember coming 12 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.079 in contact with his material about a year and a 13 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.280 half two years ago. Started listening to his interviews and 14 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.799 I thought they were pretty fantastic. So I got his 15 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.040 book some months ago, read it when I was in Florida, 16 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.480 and I thought it was pretty phenomenal. So the reason 17 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.480 we're going to do an analysis of this book in 18 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:29.200 this episode of Esotery Hollywood is because I think if 19 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.519 I started thinking back to maybe ten years ago when 20 00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.719 I started blogging and writing in the subjects that I 21 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:41.120 write on I would have thought it was insane to 22 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:48.400 think that the majority of these industries, be the music industry, 23 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:54.200 Hollywood entertainment, etc. That they were essentially controlled and had 24 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:59.760 a intimate tie in to the intelligence complex in industry 25 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.719 intelligence so called, of course, and what the intelligence complex 26 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.120 in this regard refers to is really the culture creation complex. 27 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.319 Now we've talked about this many times. I've mentioned the 28 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.400 graduate classes that I did in terms of Marxist critical 29 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:22.400 theory and the Frankfurt School. And if we recall, the 30 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:27.199 Frankfurt School was, of course this later incarnation of Marxism 31 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.800 that primarily focused on culture and the culture industry. And 32 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.120 so this would be figures like Theodore Adorno, Matt Max Horkheimer, 33 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:41.639 and of course the seminal book Dialectic of Enlightenment, where 34 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:48.439 they chart the progress or process of culture so to speak, 35 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.280 or what they call culture in the twentieth century post 36 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.199 World War two, and how this is really a tool 37 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:03.439 of the what they call the capitalist powers. But Horkheimer 38 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.639 and Adorno in that work, of course, take a very 39 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:11.599 mara Nietzschean approach to things. They no longer hold to 40 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:18.439 the utopian or progressive ideas of the Proletary Revolution. Marxism 41 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.719 by that time had discarded this idea as unrealistic given 42 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:27.840 the wars and so forth, and the focus shifted towards culture. 43 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.439 And that's essentially what the Frankfurt School did was begin 44 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.319 to look at cultural analysis, culture critique, culture critique, and 45 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:41.240 the idea that you could change things, so to speak, 46 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:47.919 by constant and perpetual negation. Right, constant critique, You critique 47 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.639 the guy after you critiques your critique, and then critique 48 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.719 of the critique of the critique, ad infinitum. Now that 49 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.680 is relevant because that's where we start to see, as 50 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.800 we know, the Italian into things like the Central Intelligence 51 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:07.919 Agency in the forties and fifties being connected to all 52 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:12.319 of these ADMIN and the AD guys going to work 53 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:19.199 for the Pentagon vice versa revolving door scenario, and from 54 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:25.240 there what you have is the control of the culture industry. Now, 55 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.759 I'm not going to take the Marxist view of all 56 00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:32.839 of this, because that is merely one aspect of controlled dialectics, 57 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:37.319 of course, but there's no doubt that what they're calling, 58 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.120 of course, the capitalist imperialist powers in the Marxist critique, 59 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.319 elements of that are correct. And so far as it 60 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:50.240 is the corporate big business atmosphere, so to speak, that 61 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.240 dominates in that pyramidal hierarchy, and of course above that 62 00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:02.399 would be the banks and the international crime syndicate families, 63 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.279 the so called illuminati, whatever appellations and terms you'd like 64 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.720 to choose. Now, once you dive deeper and deeper into this, 65 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.319 you begin to see, as I said now ten years later, 66 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.319 having done quite a bit of work in this field, 67 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.319 and even focusing in my graduate work and my master's 68 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.600 work on that very topic, it's all very plain to me. 69 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.040 As I said ten years ago, it sounded crazy. What 70 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.240 CIA in Hollywood? That doesn't make any sense? Oh yeah, 71 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.319 and why would that be? Well, because the CIA and 72 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:39.639 OSS and so forth were certainly involved in foreign espionage 73 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.519 and covert operations. But here, at least, it's largely about 74 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:49.800 public opinion, swaying mass opinions, swaying attitudes and so forth. 75 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.600 And it's the same power structure that runs the roundtable 76 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.959 groups and so forth. As we saw in Carol Quigley's 77 00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.680 Trgy and Hope, and as we will see in my 78 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.120 coming lectures on the entirety of the book, it is 79 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:07.480 those power structures that set up the CFR and the 80 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:11.680 media mogul organizations in the US, and that would even 81 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.079 include people that we think are so called media moguls, 82 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.199 Rupert Murdoch and so forth. They're all part of the 83 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.319 same establishment. They're not operating outside the box. They just 84 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:28.160 operate within the pyramidal structure, choosing whether it be MSNBC 85 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.399 or Fox or whatever, choosing the faux left right dialectic. 86 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.360 And this is all about manipulation and creation of culture. 87 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.240 And Dave's book is important in this regard because it 88 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:44.120 fits right into that critique. And it fits into that 89 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:48.759 critique because he is dealing with the rise of the counterculture. 90 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:55.560 This is the nineteen sixties free love, counterculture revolution of 91 00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.199 hippies and you know, all the things that we all 92 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:04.759 know in the popular vernacular, and most of that is 93 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:11.079 traced to the hate Ashbury District of San Francisco in mainstream. However, 94 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.360 McGowan's thesis is that know, we must look a little 95 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:19.800 bit earlier to the area of Hollywood, la and Laurel Canyon, 96 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.040 and it is there that we will actually find the 97 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:28.279 beginning of the counterculture movement. And rather than it being counterculture, 98 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:34.279 in fact, it is establishment counterculture. The establishment was not 99 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.639 unaware of the rise of the counterculture. It was not 100 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:44.160 a purely organic movement of ideal logs and free love 101 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:48.160 revolutionaries who sought to overthrow the strictures and taboos of 102 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:54.439 the prior existing forties and fifties framework of the Protestant 103 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.800 work ethic and the company man, so to speak. It 104 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:03.920 was rather something foreseeing and steered in a certain direction. 105 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.199 Now that doesn't mean that there weren't artists and musicians 106 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.360 involved in the movements that were not sincere or had 107 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.240 political activism and motivations as part of their their ethos, 108 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:19.959 but rather that the movement as a whole could be 109 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:25.839 steered simply by propping up the figures that were there 110 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.480 to be establishment figures, right, the chosen people to who 111 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.559 would be, say the Jim Morrison, or to be the 112 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.360 John Phillips, to be the Frank Zappa. Those are the 113 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:41.200 people who would receive the establishment support, getting the record 114 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.960 deals and so forth, getting the feature stories and Rolling Stone, 115 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.039 getting a major airtime, getting television time and so forth. 116 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.120 That would propel them, right, because it's all about, you know, 117 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:58.559 becoming big on that level, becoming an icon is not 118 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.240 something that happens organically, it can only in our system. 119 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.440 It can only happen with the support of the system itself. 120 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:09.639 And that's because of the tremendous amount of money that 121 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:14.039 it takes to become one of these icons. It's not 122 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:20.360 organic now. If it ever happens organically, the machines and 123 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:27.600 methods are in place to make sure that organic rise 124 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.759 is co opted. And that's another aspect of McGowan's thesis 125 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.759 in this book is that whatever artists and musicians of 126 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:42.399 the sixties that were legitimately counterculture, they were either co 127 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.879 opted eventually or they were just kind of filtered out 128 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:51.320 and faded into obscurity and oblivion to make way for 129 00:09:52.559 --> 00:10:00.039 the non political, non activist icons of essentially hedonism and 130 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.480 and cultural degeneracy. And that's why they would be promoted. 131 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.519 And that fits perfectly into the Frankfurt School modern abstract art. 132 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.200 All of this is burgeoning at the same time, right, 133 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.200 and then you can see why that fits in. We 134 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:21.279 would rather have icons of hedonism blowing your brains out 135 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:26.000 on drugs, dying at twenty seven, right than a person's 136 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:33.559 who might promote healthy ideas or genuine anti war activists, right, 137 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.600 who weren't just mindlessly anti war like some sort of 138 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:42.240 occupy movement, but rather have perhaps something more to say 139 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:48.559 than mindless slogans. And no, none of that is amenable 140 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.639 to the system in which we inhabit now, which is 141 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:59.679 a culture industry. It's a massive substruct superstructure of interlocking corporations, 142 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:05.799 banging NGOs and so forth that exists to re engineer humanity. 143 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.480 And as we've said many times and others and other 144 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.799 shows have pointed out, it's a business plan. It's a 145 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:17.480 business plan that's laid out in stages, and there are actuaries, 146 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:22.159 and there are prognostications and white papers and plans and strategies. 147 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.480 And this comes in all forms and fashions, be it government, 148 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.360 be it private, for how to get to a desired 149 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.360 place down the road, and what the desired place will 150 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.159 be down the road, and then how to go to 151 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.840 the next stage or phase. Much like we have made 152 00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:43.320 the analogy many times of a supermarket will receive a 153 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:47.320 facelift and you'll move all of the old advertisements and 154 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:51.879 end caps out to put in the new right. And 155 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.679 this usually takes a process of several weeks, depending on 156 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.279 what store you work at, and that's because it needs 157 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.080 to constantly be updated. You always need to be ahead 158 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.519 of the game, know the trends and so forth, and 159 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:08.240 then of course also create the trends. And that's really 160 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:11.279 getting to the heart of Dave's thesis in his book 161 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.039 is that the icons of the leftist cause were not 162 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.879 sincere genuine icons of the leftist cause, and he provides 163 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.919 a host of examples of how that is, which we're 164 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.639 going to see her nam in as we get into 165 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.679 the meat of Dave's book, which begins in chapter one 166 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.399 with the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and this is where 167 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.000 we have the story of Admiral Morrison, the father of 168 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.840 Jim Morrison, who was in fact directly involved in the 169 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:44.360 false flag event known as the Gulf of Tonken, which 170 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:49.320 led to the quagmire of Vietnam. Now I want to 171 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:53.559 mention before we get to the meat of Dave's book 172 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:57.279 in chapter one that if you like his material, I 173 00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:01.279 have my own book that is very similar. While Dave 174 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:06.360 tends to focus on the music industry, my book focuses 175 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:10.000 on film in Hollywood, and so in many ways it's similar, 176 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:13.240 although I deal a lot more with symbolism and the 177 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.919 esoteric in regards to various films that most of us 178 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.159 have seen, such as Kubrick Films two thousand and one, 179 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:26.759 David Lynch movies, Hitchcock seven, all that kind of stuff, 180 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:32.600 those classics, as well as newer films including some eighties 181 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.960 fantasy kid films that we all grew up with. If 182 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:40.679 you're around my age, and I really delve deeply into 183 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:46.759 the meaning and sometimes the subtext and subtle hidden meanings 184 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.919 in those films that you're not going to find elsewhere. 185 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.240 So I would encourage you if you like Dave's book, 186 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.440 you'll also very much like Esoteric Hollywood Sex Cults and 187 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:02.000 Symbols and Film. And as of now, this is May fifteenth, 188 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:08.679 twenty sixteen. The book is scheduled to release in one month, 189 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:10.960 but it can be pre ordered now. You can order 190 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.840 your copy through Trying Day Publishers or on Amazon. And 191 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.440 as I said, the title is Esotery Hollywood Sex Cults 192 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:21.320 and Symbols and Film. So you know, funny thing happened. 193 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.120 I actually had to go about most of my manuscript 194 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:29.600 was done in terms of the content about a year ago. 195 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.000 I had to do a lot of rewriting and revisions, 196 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:35.480 and it was after that that I read Dave's books, 197 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.639 so I actually had to go back and add in 198 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.840 a good bit of material and information that I got 199 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.720 from Dave mcgallan because it was so relevant to what 200 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:49.879 I had done, particularly in regards to how aspects of 201 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:54.120 the Lookout Mountain laboratories and so forth tie into Hollywood, 202 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.440 and Dave's book, Laurel Canyon Scene also ties into a 203 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.000 lot of Hollywood figures as well, but as I said, 204 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:06.279 focuses on the music industry and the music counterculture. So 205 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.279 but I wanted to mention that because you'll like my 206 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:12.120 book if you like this, it's very much in the 207 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:15.960 same vein. And in fact, Amazon actually classes them together, 208 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.879 so you know they do that promo of buy this 209 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:21.639 and you also get this for thirty five dollars or whatever. 210 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:23.879 I had nothing to do with that. That was all 211 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:27.039 Amazon's decision. So I'm very honored to be classed with 212 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:28.960 Dave's book because it was really good. It was a 213 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.000 fun read, and I know that you guys out there 214 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:36.840 listening will we'll enjoy both of these books. So I 215 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:41.399 would encourage you to take advantage of that Amazon discount 216 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.799 there and get them both, because both books go well together. 217 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:49.360 And you know, my book, as I said, is a 218 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.559 kind of a compliment to him, and it wasn't intended 219 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.600 that way. It just kind of happened that way because 220 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.159 I'd only come in contact with his material, as I said, 221 00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.679 you know, a year and a half ago, two years ago, 222 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:04.000 and the majority of my essays had already been written 223 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:09.120 by them as well. So this is also not intended 224 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:12.679 to be a replacement for the actual reading of his book. 225 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:17.159 If you've listened to Jason Aalysis talks over the last 226 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:19.720 couple of years, as I've really started focusing on doing 227 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.120 these regularly, you'll know that we've done a few book reports, 228 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:27.360 quite a few, and my book reports are not substitutes 229 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:32.399 for actual reading of the book, precisely because Dave's book 230 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.600 is three hundred pages. You're not going to be able 231 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.720 to get all the material in a couple audio talks 232 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:44.279 that you will get if you actually purchase and read 233 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.399 the book. I know that's crazy to talk about, you know, 234 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:50.759 actually buying a book and reading it. We live in 235 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:54.879 the age of the YouTube video, but that is a pathetic, 236 00:16:55.039 --> 00:17:01.000 pale replacement for the actual reading of books. So please 237 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:05.599 do get Dave's book. I recommend it I'm still working 238 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:09.680 on the Jay's Analysis recommended reading list, but certainly this 239 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:13.559 will be on there. And if you do a website, 240 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:18.319 narrowing down the choices for the recommended reading list is actually, 241 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.279 for me at least, very difficult decision. So a lot 242 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:27.759 of factors come into that, and trying to figure out 243 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.680 like what the top five in different categories are, it's 244 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:36.119 not easy. But anyway, let's get to Dave's book. Now. 245 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:39.200 He begins, as we said, talking about Vietnam and how 246 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:42.480 that was a scam and what ultimately of course tie 247 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.799 into drug running and all that through back in the 248 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:49.880 nineteen sixties, through the Gulf of Tonkin false flag incident, 249 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:56.400 which mobilized the population to support this ridiculous, unpopular war. 250 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:01.440 And we learned that Frank Zappa's author of all People 251 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:06.039 was a chemical warfare specialist assigned to the Edgewood Arsenal 252 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:11.559 near Baltimore, Maryland. He was deeply enmeshed in the program 253 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.200 as well as frequently being cited in MK ULTRA operations. Now, 254 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.319 why would I say that, Well, that's according today, But 255 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.680 that makes sense because mk Ultra was classified under by 256 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.559 a warfare because it was the use of chemical agents right, 257 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:28.920 So it makes perfect sense why we would see that 258 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:36.920 Dave moves from there to talk about the characters in 259 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:41.119 the Phillips family. Now, this is a very complex, confusing genealogy. 260 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.759 This is all new to me. Obviously everybody's heard the 261 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.279 mom is in the papas, but I don't really I 262 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.039 can't keep up with all this family and who's who 263 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:53.000 and all this because it's just crazy. But basically the 264 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:58.119 dawn of the family here. Papa John Phillips was a 265 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:02.000 major figure in the Laurel Canyon scene and the emerging 266 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:10.720 counter culture across America. Phillips would pin an inspiring, an 267 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.400 insipid song known as San Francisco be Sure to Wear 268 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:17.640 Flowers in your Hair that quickly rose to the top 269 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:21.200 of the pop charts. McGowan says, and along with the 270 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:27.519 Monterey Pop Festival and the sixty seven Hate Ashbury phenomenon, 271 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:33.279 this is really what got the sixties revolution going in 272 00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.799 the pop scene. They're also going to tie into the 273 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:39.920 nineteen sixty seven Summer of Love, I'm saying. They're also 274 00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:44.039 going to tie into the Manson family, the quote family 275 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.519 who spent time at the log Cabin and the home 276 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:52.319 of Mama Cass all right, big old Mama Cass. So 277 00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:55.559 not only will that be relevant, but it's also going 278 00:19:55.599 --> 00:20:01.119 to tie into Crosby, Stills and Nash. We mentioned Frank Zappa. 279 00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:06.079 It's going to tie into CIA operations. Actually so, John 280 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:11.880 Phillips apparently spent time in Havana, Cuba, during the height 281 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.079 of the Cuban Revolution quote, fighting for Castro, according to 282 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:20.119 his own claims. Now, this does seem a little bit 283 00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:27.680 ridiculous that this very well connected Western establishment family would 284 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:31.240 would that this guy would go off to fight for Castro. 285 00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.839 But then again, when we think about Castro and Cha, 286 00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:41.200 they also were members of the establishment who became icons 287 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.680 and figures of counter culture and counter establishment. I believe 288 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:51.519 both Chay and Fidel were from prominent, wealthy families of lawyers, 289 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:57.480 something to that effect. They both, especially Fidel, had a 290 00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:01.200 period where he was an actor. This is you can 291 00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:04.039 see this on his IMDb page, where he had small 292 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:08.400 roles in films in the nineteen forties. Now, on top 293 00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:12.920 of all that, Stills will pen perhaps the first and 294 00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.720 certainly one of the most disturbing anthems of the sixties 295 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:23.920 generation called Bluebird. And that's interesting because that's also a 296 00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:27.920 title of a project in mk ultra. And so what 297 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:29.920 we begin to see, and the reason that I think 298 00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:34.160 a lot of what Dave's talking about is legit is 299 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:39.039 because you know, the majority of the purpose of mkultra 300 00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:44.200 was not the programmed assassin creation of multiples and altars 301 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:48.440 and dissociative states in some individual spy, but rather to 302 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.279 apply those techniques on a mass scale to the population 303 00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:54.279 as a whole. Why would you do that, well, to 304 00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:59.279 create the brave new world scenario, to create the mass 305 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:04.680 population of completely controlled, drugged up zombies. And that's really 306 00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.160 where we're going and where we're we pretty much are. 307 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.720 And this quote revolution was a big part of that, 308 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:17.480 the sixties revolution. And again it benefits the establishment, right, 309 00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:23.759 and the establishment doesn't care about counterculture individuals out there 310 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.279 calling for radically new ways of living. All of that 311 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:34.400 ultimately benefits the designs of the establishment. And so Dave 312 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:40.240 argues that before John Phillips arrived in Laurel Canyon, Stephen 313 00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:44.599 Stills was another product of a career military family. This 314 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.599 is Crosby Stills in nash In other words, raised in Texas, 315 00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:52.799 Young Steven spent large swaths of his childhood in El Salvador, 316 00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:57.240 Costa Rica and Panama and various parts of Central America, 317 00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:59.920 alongside his father who was helping to quote spread the 318 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:05.079 democracy and as well as being educated at military bases 319 00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:12.240 and elite military academies exactly, he had an abrasive authoritarian personality. Well, 320 00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:17.200 that's how people in the military usually are. And so 321 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:22.599 Stills was involved in CIA Special Forces in Noms noms 322 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.799 Nom nominam in Vietnam. He served with uniform ground troops 323 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.519 in Vietnam. But what will be ignored is the undeniable 324 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.920 fact Day rights that the US had thousands of advisors, 325 00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:39.119 that is, CIA Special Forces operatives active as ground troops 326 00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:44.279 in Vietnam exactly. And we will also be talking about 327 00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.119 in a future show Apocalypse Now. And this will tie 328 00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.200 in again to Day's work with his book Program to Kill, 329 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:56.200 because Dave argues that the Phoenix program right the mass 330 00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.000 murder supposedly of the Vietcong, which was actually mass murder 331 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:02.920 of women and children in villages as part of a 332 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:08.799 CIA program special forces program that probably could have led 333 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.200 to the serial killer phenomenon because they have all these 334 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.319 guys who were forced and trained to kill women and children, 335 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:17.599 not be a Kong and then when they come back, 336 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:24.599 they're complete psychos and multiple altar possessed wackos who then 337 00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:30.519 become perhaps involved in the serial killer phenomenon, right Henry 338 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:35.119 Lee Lucas and these kind of characters. Also interesting is 339 00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:39.599 the connections of these people, the Flying Burrito Brothers one 340 00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:43.319 of these more to me at least obscure bands and 341 00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:50.920 Crosby to the Mob. And this is an aspect of 342 00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:53.279 all this that we've been talking about quite a bit 343 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.359 here at Jays Analysis in the last year or two. 344 00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:57.799 Is the mob tie into this stuff, because that's also 345 00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:04.640 very real now, the theater of the FBI versus the 346 00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:09.240 mob and the CIA and the government and the corporate 347 00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:11.559 agents and the mob, and you know, everybody warring. We 348 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:13.960 teach it that's not really right, right, So the way 349 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:15.960 that you see it in the movies of everybody kind 350 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:18.640 of warring at each other's, you know, by battling each 351 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.599 that's not really the case. Perhaps at certain times, in 352 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:27.039 different degrees that happens. The FBI might bust mobsters somewhere, 353 00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:31.160 but this is generally or the CIA might have some 354 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:34.480 kind of covert operation where they take out some quote 355 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:36.960 drug lord. As if you watch the movie Cecario that 356 00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:40.359 kind of hinted at this, but that's also kind of 357 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:46.200 theatrics because we know that the CIA basically teamed up 358 00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:49.759 with the mob, and that's how the drug running happened 359 00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.440 right throughout sixties, seventies and eighties and so forth, you know, 360 00:25:53.640 --> 00:26:03.240 with Unholy Alliance, right and Dave or Webb, Gary Webb's book, right, 361 00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:06.359 So that also tied into the mob, and it's always 362 00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:08.720 been that way. And I like that McGowan talks about 363 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:12.519 a lot of the mob connections, particularly in relation to 364 00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:16.319 Mickey Dolans, not that Mickey Dolan's was a mobster, but 365 00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:22.960 that Monkey Mickey Dolans et eccentric prodigy. Van Dyke parks 366 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:28.960 that these people were connected to James Taylor and all 367 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:33.480 spent time in the Laurel Canyon scene around Larry Wildman Fisher, 368 00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.319 who was institutionalized repeatedly during his teens for attacking his 369 00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:40.279 mother with a knife. And finally you meet the offspring 370 00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:44.039 of an organized crime figure, Warren Zevon, the son of 371 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:50.759 William Stumpy Zevon, the infamous lieutenant for Mickey Cohen, so 372 00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:54.160 number two under Mickey Cohen, I guess, or something to 373 00:26:54.200 --> 00:27:01.519 that effect. And so you've got this this fascinating nexus 374 00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:07.880 of criminal syndicates, be it drugs, be it cia, culture creation, 375 00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:13.319 be it corporate interests, military interests, so forth, mobsters that 376 00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:19.400 all will benefit from the promotion of this counterculture. Right now, 377 00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:23.480 think about in terms of say drugs, what does the 378 00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.920 counterculture do for Well, it makes drugs very popular, very sexy. 379 00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:31.359 Right now, So if you could purchase cocaine one hundred 380 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:36.319 years ago at your local apothecary then, you know, or 381 00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:40.400 opium or something derivative to that effect, Well, it's not 382 00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:42.519 very sexy. It's not that big of a deal, is it, right. 383 00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.799 I mean, you might have some old guy who you know, 384 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.480 is sixty years old and he's the town opium attic 385 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:54.079 or something like you know, Belle Dagosi or Charlock Holmes 386 00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:55.599 dye character or something like. You mean, I have some 387 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.599 image of a guy like that, but it didn't appear 388 00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:03.960 to be rampant. Now. I'm sure that housewives, as I understand, 389 00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.599 were at different times in the forties and fifties taking 390 00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:11.440 quite a few pills and narcotics and so forth. And 391 00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:14.000 that's but that's because that was of course marketed as 392 00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:23.720 solutions to the morose grind of the daily housewife lifestyle. Right, 393 00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:27.720 and so you needed some some picker upper or something, 394 00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:32.400 or some stimulant some or conversely some calming effect. And 395 00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:37.319 so their work. As I understand, quite a few pill 396 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:43.200 popping mommies in the forties and fifties, but that still 397 00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:47.279 was marketed as something medicinal. And so what happens in 398 00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:51.160 the sixties is that kind of like the temperance movement 399 00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:55.559 and you know, alcohol, the speakeasies and all this kind 400 00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:58.039 of stuff, is that it makes it underground, it makes 401 00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:00.000
