CIA spiked bread with LSD, caused mass insanity... Can't Post - Sign Up!

...in the French village of Pont St. Esprit, in 1951. For decades it was assumed that the local bread had been unwittingly poisoned with a psychedelic mould (ergot). Now, however, an American investigative journalist has uncovered evidence suggesting the CIA tampered with the food supply.

BTW, the CIA was also guilty of treating American and Canadian citizens as (LSD) guinea pigs, as part of project MK Ultra.

I didn't see this story in the NYT or WaPo yet. But anyway, what a bummer, eh?

And can you imagine if the French had done this to an American village?

France would now be a parking lot. I thought I should post about this here mostly, because I found that link on British site, and then looked in NYT and WaPo and didn't see it anywhere.

All my childhood I was told that America was "the best country in the world" - well I have no reason to trash America simply for the sake of trashing. But if we want to think/feel/proclaim, that America is the best country in the world, then let it be based in TRUTH.

Where the CIA is involved, it will be very difficult to find the truth. Unsure
