“Turn on, Tune in, Burn up!”

Mainstream GOP values

Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, one becomes familiar with the back wash of the so-called “counter culture” of the 1960’s. The residua are everywhere, including more than a few people who have gone absolutely off the deep end, either from drugs or too much intellec­tual and cultural relativism.

It is also impossible to live in the Bay Area  and not be aware of the Burning Man Arts Festival. When it first took off, we thought it was some sort of weird-ass Nazi/Occultist rite, with people camping out in the desert, taking lots of drugs and observing a giant form of a man being burned in effigy.

One could not exaggerate the amount of heavy-duty drug taking that takes place there. It is drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs – LSD, Ecstasy and God knows what else.

After it became the phenomenon that it has become, we concluded that it was an intelligence operation of some kind, probably like the LSD/drug culture of 1960’s.

Taking place on government land, way out in the desert, it struck us as an ideal place to experiment on people.

Now comes a story from The Washing­ton Post informing us that the event epitomizes “mainstream” GOP values and that people associated with the event are lobbying Congress.

In this context, we also note that part of the back wash from the ’60’s mess is a very real form of counter-culture fascism.  (more...)
