More about the shenanigans of a CIA spook than LSD
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Interesting book that concentrates on a CIA spook named Ron Starks who was the biggest LSD dealer in the world, as well as being linked to operation Gladio which resulted in the murder of Italian politician Aldo Moro. Starks actually spent time in an Italian prison on other charges but was mainly being held because of he was suspected of being involved in the whole Operation Gladio/P2 Masonic/CIA lodge false flag terrorism circus. Once the Italian authorities had no legal grounds to hold him any longer he promptly disappeared off the face of the earth after being released. Starks was also linked to various CIA false flag terrorism shenanigans in the middle east also. Although Jewish he could pass as an Arab and was an accomplished linguist that could speak multiple languages. Really this book would probably be of more interest to somebody interested in conspiracy oriented stuff and how CIA spooks operate than a person with an interest in LSD.

Steamshovel Press editor Kenn Thomas wrote the foreword to this new, updated and US-marketed edition of David Black's 1997 history. The angle on psychedelic history taken by Black that makes the volume unique is an expanded look at the life of Ronald Stark, a transnational doper that helped usher the burgeoning interest in LSD into the hands of the mafia. It also connects it all up to the assassination of Aldo Moro in Italy, and hence to the current political climate (the "strategy of tension", against not just psychedelic libertarians but anyone critical of the status quo. This new edition includes as an appendix "An Open Letter from the Friends of Timothy Leary", circulated after the FBI tried to smear Leary with selected release of FOIPA files, plus another appendix on the "Manson-Stark Conspiracy Theory."
