If the Hippie psychedelic drug extravaganza began with the C.I.A. (see Acid Dreams by Martin Lee and Bruce Shlain), and the F.B.I. conducted a snitch operation against Leftists in the Sixties and Seventies (COINTELPRO), could Rock & Roll have been left alone?

No, we're not buying into the Lyndon LaRouche conspiracy theory which posits that The Beatles and Grateful Dead were unholy inventions of the Tavistock Institute in England, designed to clutter and confuse youthful minds and take them away from Mozart and nuclear fusion.

The following interview with ALEX CONSTANTINE, author of Psychic Dictatorship In The U.S.A., and Virtual Government: C.I.A. Mind Control Operations In America, concerns his research for a book named Operation Chaos. Constantine seems interested in the unholy convergence of music biz mobsters — who find some figures worth far more dead than alive — and intelligence agencies anxious to experiment with mind control on fresh, controllable young brains. And beneath all this is the right-wing intelligence agencies' fear of a loud and emerging Leftist movement, a movement particularly situated within Rock & Roll music.

Interesting article.

Folk, rock and roll, punk, and hip hop were always genres that the powers that be tried to hijack and control.

As mentioned, Phil Ochs is dead and Woody Guthrie's most well known song was turned into propaganda against what it was supposed to be about, and Bob Dylan sold out.

Punk started as a record label's attempt to try and manufacture fake rebellion, until people took the Sex Pistol's mantras seriously... So labels offered money to the biggest, most marketable bands and buried the rest.

The same is true for hip hop. The more radical and politicized an artist gets the less likely it is they will get pushed though if they talk about destroying their own communities with drugs, they get those fat stacks of cash.

Music can be a revolutionary force and at the very least open peoples. That's why they try to control it.
