#mescaline
Today in Labor History April 13, 1953: CIA Director Allen Dulles launched the MKUltra mind control program. The program ran from 1953 to 1973. It involved giving human subjects LSD and other drugs, often without their knowledge. Then, researchers would try to “weaken” their minds and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture. Over 7,000 U.S. war veterans were unwitting test subjects, as well as many Canadian and U.S. civilians. The program was a continuation of Nazi mind-control experiments, which utilized mescaline against Jews and Soviet prisoners, hoping it could be exploited as a “truth” serum. The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), precursor of the CIA, recruited many of these Nazi torturers in the wake of World War II to exploit their knowledge and research. MKUltra was headed by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, who later devised plans to kill Fidel Castro with an exploding cigar, and saturating his shoes with radioactive thallium to make his beard fall out. He also tried to assassinate Patrice Lumumba, Prime Minister of Congo, with poison. Several well-known liberals and radicals knowingly participated in MKUltra and its OSS predecessors, either as test subjects (e.g., Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Hunter), or as researchers (e.g., anthropologists Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson). Others who have been alleged to have been victims or volunteers include Sirhan Sirhan, Ted Kaczyinski, Charles Manson, and Whitey Bulger.
For a really fascinating look at Margaret Mead's and Gregory Bateson’s exploration with hallucinogens and their connection to MKUltra, check out the recent book, Tripping on Utopia, by Benjamin Breen. And for a truly amazing documentary on the 1961 CIA-supported coup in Congo, check out the 2024 documentary, “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat.” But the film is really about so much more than the coup. It covers Cold War machinations, propaganda, and covert operations in the early 1960s; the superpowers’ jockeying for control of puppet regimes and spheres of influence in the global south; the Pan-African movement; racism in the U.S., the Civil Rights movement, and the repression against it; and, of course, jazz music, including tons of interviews and live footage of Lumumba, Ghanian president and revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah, activist and writer Andree Madeleine Blouin, Malcolm X, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Miriam Makeba, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, surrealist artist Rene Magritte.

[r] images d’un monde visionnaire / henri michaux, éric duvivier. 1963
In 1964, Sandoz, the company that first synthesized LSD in 1938, commissioned Belgian poet and painter Henri Michaux (24 May 1899 – 19 October 1984) to create a film to show the power of hallucinogenic drugs.
From the channel Éclair brut: https://youtu.be/GplnLRYhjWY
Le film présente diverses altérations perceptives et visuelles qui peuvent être provoquées par différents hallucinogènes, ici la mescaline puis le haschich. Reprenant les travaux du poète Henri Michaux sur le « monde visionnaire » (‘Misérable miracle’ (1956), ‘Paix dans les brisements’ (1959), ‘L’infini turbulent’ (1957), ‘Connaissance par les gouffres’ (1961)), le film montre les types d’images qui apparaissent, disparaissent, se créent sous l’action de ces deux substances. Mais il s’insère surtout dans le cadre d’un projet scientifique visant à rendre compte d’expériences sur des substances hallucinogènes, permettant de mieux comprendre les psychoses. Les états hallucinatoires provoqués par certains psychotiques sont montrés comme analogues voir identiques à certaines pathologies psychiques.

#psychedelic experiences include, and are not limited to visionary states, Near Death Experiences #nde Out of Body Experiences #obe & transpersonal experiences occurring with chemical compounds like #ketamine #dmt #psilocybin #lsd #mescaline in plant medicines like #Ayahausca #iboga and various mushroom species— part of worldwide cultural spiritual practice spanning thousands of years. These experiences, when supported by a wisdom approach, have been shown in ongoing research to be beneficial.

Research into psychedelics spans 100 years. They are medicine to some. Sacraments to others. Some people find the harmful effects to outweigh any benefit. Still others find a sense of the divine in themselves & others. This is replicable across time in different medicines, in people around the world. https://psyche.institute/psychedelic-society/mescal-archival-research #psychedelic #research #psychedelicassistedpsychotherapy #psychedelics #psychedelictheapies #psychedelicresearch #mescaline #peyote #plantmedicine #mentalhealth #psychiatry
