I live in Eugene. Ken Kesey is buried out on his farm near the old weathered bus. MKUltra is very very real.

A poem:

Coffee and Birkenstocks

18th Avenue and Chambers Street used to be

the first local airport

in my home town.

Starting here

remember driving past

a man-bun dude holding

a paper cup of to-go coffee yesterday.

His pants rolled up at the ankles

making them appear like pedal pushers

drawing attention to 2022

where on his feet were classic

Birkenstocks without

thick wool socks like were worn

here in the 1980’s

when the university was

brimming with tie dye frisbee hippies

coming out of local high schools

into the party world of

Animal House.

Zuni turquoise rings sold on blankets

on the sidewalk in front of the bookstore

surrounded by the quiet failed industry of alcoholic Veteran

mill workers who in the 70’s

managed to go to

those graveyard shifts

wearing big red gray and blue

leather work gloves to

protect their hands while

they pushed long yellowed

plank after plank through

the planing machines at the mill

drinking thermos-ed coffee all night

while their families slept nearby.

In the 1970’s their kids were raised by

depressed women who

almost followed their own

careers choosing instead to have babies

or lesbian families

Feeling like they missed out on something.

Moms felt guilted

into glorifying women’s

“liberation” which showed,

through Cosmo magazine,

that abortion with

sexual revolution was what

they were missing while

over-dosed on Western medicine’s

experiment of antidepressants

their three year olds

wandered down long spring-time

alleys filled with daisies to

be saved and raised by the 1940’s era

grandparents.

Those mill worker dads worked so hard

so that these hippie kids

could play MK Ultra Grateful

tunes on acoustic guitars, matriculate into

liberal arts colleges and wear wool socks with

their Birkenstocks while eating LSD and reading

the writings of CIA agents who

sometimes had a great notion.

It’s funny how so many counterculture people left Californication to move north to Oregon and Washington…

I remember Portland 1989 before Grunge and nightclub Satyricon named after Petronius’ satire of Nero’s Rome…

Seeing early Hipsters in the making and lots of hydroponic weed Haze #5 there…

Yes the 80’s metrosexual decade under accursed Reaganomics…

OMG … was the best 80’s movie 9-1/2 Weeks?

I'll go watch 9 1/2 Weeks and let you know my opinion. Thanks for writing about such mass musical manipulations. I always wanted to be a famous singer. But then I slowly realized I like gardening and staying home also? I am zero Jewish so no fame for me.

The cards were stacked against real musical artists by the 70’s with Big Labels. They were all part of a vast social engineering plot after WWII’s manufactured chaos. The NWO emerged out of WWII. That little Freemasonic 33° thing… Ordo ab Chao = Order out of Chaos.

The WWI plot and League of Nations failed after.

So they created bigger chaos WWII for their NWO to emerge with the United Nations in 1947, same year the OSS became the CIA. Coincidence?
