That subject matter being UFOs; what I would call consciousness politics – drugs, mysticism, the paranormal, mind control, remote viewing; secrecy and conspiracy theories; the secret state; and the interfaces between many of these. As a 52-year old who took acid, read Leary, Reich, Lilly, Castaneda et al in […]
[…] British state’. No evidence has been produced to support this. In fact the particular claims made by Foot about Bryn Estyn actually fit quite neatly into a conspiracy theory held by many on the left: that Freemasons have undue power and exercise much of it through the establishment and, in particular, the official structures […]
[…] things have changed since this issue. A sample copy for $5 from PO Box 9, Franklin Park, NJ 08823-0009, USA. I have issue 2 of Paranoia, The Conspiracy Reader, which began this year. This is very nicely produced, 24 pages with a glossy cover and illustrations, but the material is distinctly patchy. So issue […]
