Australian Military Mescaline (& Mind Control)
March 5th 2007 01:50
Of course, we all know that the Australian Government is ‘tough on drugs’. However, with this big thing called the Internet, and a bigger one called pencils and paper, and an even bigger one called vocal chords, controlling information on how to find, purchase sell and make drugs is nearly impossible.
It was with the first of these that I stumbled (yes, stumbled, I wasn’t actually looking for this, I swear) upon the recipe for making mescaline from Australian plants.
Now, the most interesting thing about this (apart from the potential for highly lucrative business schemes (Joking! Joking!)) is exactly who was using this information – The Australian Defence force. These instructions were posted on the internet after the following reference was discovered by a Professor of Physical chemistry from the University of Sydney.
“CA 61,8515
The preparation of mescaline from *********1.
D. Amos, Dept. Supply, Defence Std Lab, Melbourne.
Australasian J. Pharm., 45, 529 (1964)”
This information was originally discovered in 1964, under Prime Minister Robert Menzies, founder of the Australian Liberal party.
The question is – why did the Australian Defense force invest in discovering how to make Mescaline?
During the rein of Menzies, Australian US relations were very close. At the same time, the CIA were working on MKULTRA, a project seeking to discover the potential for mind control. A document named “IS MILITARY RESEARCH HAZARDOUS TO VETERANS' HEALTH?” said of the project MKULTRA -
Presuming that the project either continued after the end of the non-consensual experiments, or that it took several years to find a way to create Mescaline (which one would find likely), it would seem plausible that the information on how to create the drug, the state of the US Australian Alliance in 1964 and MKULTRA have a connection that is more than coincidence.
1. The original Reference wasn't censored, however I thought it would be appropriate not to give any details of how to make illegal drugs on this post. The information is freely available on the Internet, and I would be happy to provide the link to anyone seeking to confirm the factual nature of this article.

The Peyote Cactus is famous for being a source of Mescaline - but the Australian Government seemed more interested in creating the drug than importing it for some reason
During the rein of Menzies, Australian US relations were very close. At the same time, the CIA were working on MKULTRA, a project seeking to discover the potential for mind control. A document named “IS MILITARY RESEARCH HAZARDOUS TO VETERANS' HEALTH?” said of the project MKULTRA -
Between 1953 and 1964, the program consisted of 149 projects involving drug testing and other studies on unwitting human subjects.
Presuming that the project either continued after the end of the non-consensual experiments, or that it took several years to find a way to create Mescaline (which one would find likely), it would seem plausible that the information on how to create the drug, the state of the US Australian Alliance in 1964 and MKULTRA have a connection that is more than coincidence.

Some soldiers get off their face before going into battle so that they won't remember what they did.

A similar, hallucinogenic drug was used by JNA (Federal Yugoslav Army), according to rumours, during the Balkan’s wars. The ‘special assignment’ units (all the sides had them), would, allegedly, be given a cocktail of alcohol mixed with ‘unknown’ substance. Those guys, who committed horrible atrocities under influence of such ‘cocktail’, wouldn’t remember any of the ‘horrors’ they ‘inflicted’; they would only be ‘terrified’ afterwards and suffer from ‘paranoia’ and ‘nightmares’.

Human experimentation has always enthralled me, like In WWII camp 731 where the Japanese tested on Manchurians (aka logs) in ways so haneous it made Hitler look merciful.
The whole mind control (Manchurian Candidate) thing also opens the eyes to just how vicious and callous those in power can be, in a democracy.
Supposedly alot of US soldiers slaughtered each other during one of the mescaline tests, not fiction in Jacob's Ladder. (Yeah Im obsessed with the ladder)

Governments have to illegalise drugs that cause spontaneous hugging and expanded consciousness, yet use the same thing to maximize death and misery.
Go figure.
BTW, incredible strategy on Hitler's part. He was messed up but he was a genius.

Quite dangerous... but it is good to keep informed.

There are limits, though- the CIA experimented with LSD back in the day before they figured out that acid is way too powerful and unpredictable to be a useful mind control agent.

Stupid useless business studies. Why'd I pick the course that looked easy?
