Readers have shown considerable interest in the trailer we ran recently for the video about unknown radiation experiments on African American children.

Continuing our exploration of secret government experiments on American citizens, we now re-publish an article I wrote in 1999 about the CIA and LSD experiments. That article was originally commissioned by the New York Times Magazine, which opted in the end not to publish it. Instead, it appeared in the magazine of the esteemed British newspaper The Observer, the German newsmagazine Spiegel, and in top newspapers in Australia, Netherlands, and other countries. It did not run in the United States.

Here is the full article:

Some of his New York neighbours knew him as Paul Galan, some knew him as Paul Stanley. To others, he was just Paul, a quiet man who could usually be found on his doorstep with his dog and an ever-present cup of coffee. But in retrospect, all agree that there was an air of mystery about the man who invariably greeted passers-by with a smile and a friendly word.

7. I wrote a note

to the administrators about this thread being moved. I think that it is important to avoid emotional responses in cases such as this, and simply ask for them to review and reconsider their decision.

In this instance, the topic is not a "conspiracy theory." It's a well-documented chapter in our nation's history. It is no longer denied, or poo-pooed as the overactive imagination of left-wing, pot-smoking zealots.

A member of the Carter administration published the single best resource, using government files to document every single claim put forth, on this topic. It is a stunning book. It's a topic that deserves serious attention and discussion.

3. RepubliCONS are all so worried about the government censoring

their right wing noise boxes such as Fox and Rush but the real censorship is being done by corporations for corporations against the people. It is no longer a free press but a boughten, enslaved press.
