Mu-mesons January program is raucous and revolutionary. Most of the films appeal to me: but the dark side of the summer of love definitely stands out.

The Dark Side of the Summer of Love
The Western World believed revolution was imminent in the 1960′s, obviously they had not looked deep enough into the dark side of the age of Aquarius. Authors such as Gary Lachman and Peter Levenda were well aware that the morning of the magicians was really the night of the living dead. Rolling underneath flower power power was a mystical fascism developed in secret labs and based on occult principles in the search of the control of the human mind. Charles Manson, Anton LaVey and the process Church of the Final judgment to name a few were all utilised by intelligence services to assist Mkultra and other shadowy covert ops.
