À propos de cet audio
The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times.
Members of bands like the Byrds, the Doors, Buffalo Springfield, the Monkees, the Beach Boys, the Turtles, the Eagles, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Steppenwolf, CSN, Three Dog Night, and Love, along with such singer/songwriters as Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, James Taylor, and Carole King, lived together and jammed together in the bucolic community nestled in the Hollywood Hills.
But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day. Far more integrated into the scene than most would like to admit was a guy by the name of Charles Manson, along with his murderous entourage. Also floating about the periphery were various political operatives, up-and-coming politicians, and intelligence personnel - the same sort of people who gave birth to many of the rock stars populating the canyon. And all the canyon's colorful characters - rock stars, hippies, murderers, and politicos - happily coexisted alongside a covert military installation.

Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents.

In the chaos following World War II, the US government faced many difficult decisions, including what to do with the Third Reich's scientific minds. These were the brains behind the Nazis' once-indomitable war machine. So began Operation Paperclip, a decades-long, covert project to bring Hitler's scientists and their families to the United States. Many of these men were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder and slavery.

The author of three books on CIA operations, Douglas Valentine began his research into the agency's activities when CIA director William Colby gave him free access to interview agency officials who had been involved in various aspects of the Phoenix program in South Vietnam. It was a permission Colby was to regret. The CIA would eventually rescind it and made every effort to impede publication of The Phoenix Program, which documented an elaborate system of population surveillance, control, entrapment, imprisonment, torture, and assassination in Vietnam.

Ever wondered why some bands make it big??
This was an excellent insight into how the music industry has built itself up into the decadent monster that it is. It used to nag at me how a good song or a talented band never makes it, how some are promoted and some are not. In the end, its all about how much you are willing to sacrifice and who you are. I believe no one becomes famous by accident, no one makes it big because they have all the talent, fame is a construct, a carrot dangled to the masses that will never be reached.
Its easy to see how these people involved at the outset in Laurel Canyon were less than blessed with ability, but who they were born too. The shadow governments that run almost all countries use any weapon it can against its people, the world we live in, is as fake and false as it gets. War and fake terrorism to create fear and programs the weak minded to give up their freedoms to very people who are terrorizing them. They are distracted by music, movies, materialism, the drugs that governments flood each country with.
This book shows how easy it was and how it would be easy to spread the message. How to control the masses who are turning against you. Just like in Europe, they used the very same cultural controls with music and fashion, women's lib, divide and conquer to shape the current climate. This book goes behind the curtain to see how you can make a talentless band look plausible, how you can push music that is appalling and convince the public that it is great music. How to sell a drug that will destroy your life and not ask any questions. How the so called justice system is just a mafia who control all of these events, substances, create serial killers and push them into the public domain. So many iconic figures are included in this book, all relative, interconnected. Relationships where none appeared to exist. How someone can come from nowhere and become a massive star, who they really are....surprised to find that they aren't just a nobody. Sex drugs and rock n roll was created, it never happened organically, neither did any of the groups or individuals. A new religion is thrust upon the masses, a new way of believing, whatever these people say must be true. Music carrying hidden messages, manipulating the subconscious and how the CIA are were in the middle of it all, controlling it all along.
Everything you could want is included in this book by a brilliant author, someone who has gone far too soon. I recommend that you read this book, it will open your eyes to a lot of what was going on then, in the world and what is still going on now...

Read For Fun
A lot of people died in the Laurel Canyon scene. Author believes it's due to the military and CIA connections of some prominent artists. I personally got annoyed halfway through. Just a lot of death deemed "suspicious" by the author. Gets tiring. I do enjoy hearing some historical facts about pop culture, but be warned there are some disturbing underage situations which unfortunately exists in our world. Be ready to cringe.
Read this for fun. Taking it seriously is what made it hard for me.

Poorly written, annoying experience
The worst written conspiracy-laden concoction I have ever experienced. Subject matter interesting but author’s style was not for me. Filled with nudge nudge wink wink phrases such as, “I don’t have to tell you” “if you can believe it” “Get ready for this” “You’re not going to believe this” making it really hard to listen to or take seriously. Tries in vain to create case that Laurel Canyon hippies were working for CIA. Really?!
