Jason Bourne Ultimatum antidote to US "govt." shredding Universal Human Rights

what?
"Hollywood" continues the "we're only doing this "to save American Lives""! subtext. Two other films in x had the same agenda....Reduce "terrorism" by introducing Universal Human
Rights for all Humans. The Creator gave all Humans the 5th Amendment and the right
to not be tortured or "interrorgated"...

Endless Summer of Loving continues in Vancouver this month



http://www.cinematheque.bc.ca/summeroflove/index.htm
what?

The Psychedelic Pioneers is one of many feature films and documentaries being shown at Pacific Cinmathque during its Summer of Love series, which starts Friday and runs until Aug. 16.

The Psychedelic Pioneers is being shown Wednesday, Aug. 8 at 7:30 p.m. It will be preceded by two shorts: Sal Mineo narrating LSD: Insight or Insanity?, a scare film about the dangers of LSD, and LSD: The Trip to Where?, which includes Leary talking about the difference between a good and bad trip on acid.

Curated by Videomatica's Graham Peat and Jim Sinclair, with help from Kier-la Janisse, the Summer of Love series includes many rarely seen films such as The Trip, described as one of Hollywood's most accurate portrayals of what it's like to take LSD, Psych-Out, set in Haight-Ashbury and starring Susan Strasberg, Dean Stockwell, Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dern, and Something's Happening a.k.a. Hippie Revolt, a cinma vrit look at youth culture in San Francisco and Los Angeles in 1966-67.


PSYCHEDELIC PIONEERS (THE)

The story of The Psychedelic Pioneers is part leading-edge medical research and part utopian idealism. More than 40 years ago, in a remote corner of the Canadian Prairies, three gifted psychiatrists conducted a cutting-edge research project with an extraordinarily powerful drug - LSD.

Peter Stafford de-animates-- Master Psychedelic Investigator


Peter with his Playing (working!) Walls! and T-Shirt. Peter liked to process and compress his working files and database for his next Project to the size of the binder he has in his hands! Very Portable. Also to wallpaper his room with the history of Media Images associated with Psychedelics, as Peter was always collecting new material for the next edition of Psychedelics Encyclopedia. Peter used this photo as his business card! About mid 1980's?

A Review of Pihkal

by Peter Stafford


Note: Pihkal is available from the Island Group Marketplace for $18.95 (P. X) and at 978 pages also may be the biggest book bargain of the century.
I wish to whisper into your ear a thought that has been recurrent in my mind since I first read this book. That is that this massive volume, whose first printing is already sold out, might well be the most important document of this century!

The first half of PIHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), by Alexander and Ann Shulgin (Transform Press), is a thinly-veiled biography of one of our greatest "white shamans," a chemist in this instance, and of his seduction by his second wife, Ann. The second half describes synthesis routes, dosage recommendations, and comments about the duration and qualities of 179 semi-synthetic molecules which have been both "known" and "loved" by seasoned psychenauts.

Peter first took peyote in the early 'Sixties and was an editor of Crawdaddy, the first rockmagazine.
