Where or to whom did Timothy Leary say he knowingly worked for CIA since 1963?
This is a good question, Ted. Maybe John would be willing to come on the board and answer this. I’ll ask him. Thanks. — S.T.

No doubt the CIA was behind much of the culture of the 1960s as well as Tavistock and MI5. All you have to do is listen to the music. That is where the divide begins, because the CIA also tells us that everything we know is a lie. We were told all these musicians that we grew up with died in one way or another. We are now finding much evidence that this is not the case. Especially since we are also finding out that many of these musicians were children of military and intelligence personnel. Many were from wealthy families but were marketed as from working class or even poor. In other words, their biographies were faked. I don’t know about all of them, but I do know there is hard evidence that some of them are still alive. You just won’t hear about it because since the CIA and deep state also owns and operates all of the world’s major media, they will never report it, or if they do, only to mock those who dare reject their narrative. We have hard evidence including DNA, photographs, voiceprint, and handwriting that Elvis Presley cannot have died on August 16, 1977. The Lennon story doesn’t add up at all. Two completely different stories of what happened from employees at Roosevelt Hospital. News photos showing two different shirts that he was supposedly wearing the night he was “shot”. A lack of any real eyewitnesses except those that would have been part of the phony operation. And let’s face it, these people are wealthy, they have money to pretty much do whatever they wanted. Lennon was under extreme pressure of being deported. He had to leave the scene. Elvis, well let’s face it for one thing that is not him in that coffin photo. The nose is completely different and what about all the weight he gained? Can you diet after death? He looked to be a normal weight. As for the others who knows. I am sure having all these famous people die young is also a part of the CIAs trauma based mind control. Whatever the case, I would love to see the CIA completely obliterated in our lifetime. It is an organization that has spread its tentacles in the US and throughout the world doing absolutely nothing good and ruining countries and lives.
