30 YEARS OF ACID HOUSE. A 4-HOUR MIX BY MARK DEVLIN, ON DESTINY 105, SATURDAY 30TH DECEMBER 2017

It’s now 30 years since the establishment of the Acid House scene in the UK, a movement that changed the face of dance music and culture generally from that point on. I’m resisting the temptation towards any social commentary on this one, instead letting the music do the talking with a four-hour mix of some of the most influential records of those heady and captivating days of 1987 and ’88.

INFINITE FRINGE PODCAST

The full podcast version of the chat I had with Billy Ray Valentine and Josh Corey on their excellent Infinite Fringe show, about the spiritual degradation of hip-hop culture and other elephants in the room. 

MARK DEVLIN GUESTS ON THE INFINITE FRINGE RADIO SHOW

I guested on The Infinite Fringe on Truth Frequency Radio this weekend, alongside Billy Ray Valentine and co-host Josh.

Our talk focused specifically on hip-hop culture, and the systematic debasement of that whole scene, with so many aspects of social engineering now prevalent in its ranks. In many ways, hip-hop can be seen to have been a testing ground for various aspects of culture creation which are now being rolled out throughout society.

We also spend time on the whole situation with Afrika Bambaataa and the sexual abuse allegations against him, which have raised a bunch of uncomfortable questions about the very foundation of the culture that very few seem willing to discuss.

You can stream an edited version of the interview on the link below. The full version will be coming via the Infinite Fringe podcast soon.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 118: ISAAC WEISHAUPT: HIP-HOP’S ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM

Listen to "GVP#118 - Isaac Weishaupt - Hip-Hop's Elephants in the Room" on Spreaker.



Returning to the series is the proprietor of illuminatiwatcher.com, researcher, author and broadcaster Issac Weishaupt.

We get into many of the social engineering agendas currently being rolled out in the contemporary hip-hop genre. Those who aren’t fans of this music, (and, given its current, degraded state, who can blame them,) shouldn’t switch off, however, because this scene stands as a contemporary microcosm of what’s being applied to society generally, all with the intention of coercing the masses into adopting certain mindsets, and steering culture off into pre-planned directions.

By blindly acquiescing, we give the controllers exactly what they want; by thinking for ourselves and asserting our free will, we cause them major setbacks.

We cover the many Elephants in the Room when it comes to this genre - things that should be obvious causes for concern, but which aren’t talked about because of the way the hive mind has been entrained.

These include the homosexualisation of hip-hop, its place within the systematic transgender agenda, its embracing of Transhumanism and occult themes, the death of Mobb Deep frontman Prodigy earlier this year, the recent erratic behaviours of Kanye West, and the sexual abuse allegations towards one of the culture’s pioneering founders, Afrika Bambaataa. Why the blanket of silence when it comes to media coverage of this important subject?

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 117: JOHN POTASH - THE WEAPONISATION OF DRUGS

Guesting this episode is investigative writer John Potash, author of the books ‘The FBI War on Tupac Shakur and Black Leaders’ and the more recent ‘Drugs as Weapons Against Us.’ John draws on research collated for these books to discuss how drugs have been used to shape sub-cultures and subvert activist scenes, always at the hands of government agencies such as the CIA and FBI.

Additionally John’s work has documented how certain maverick musicians have fallen foul of the control agencies over the decades, and drugs have often been used to either bring them back to conformity. or in extreme cases, knock them off. Examples discussed include Tupac, Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, John Lennon and George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. We get into Courtney Love and her role in ensuring that both the Grunge and UK rock scenes became flooded with heroin.

Every culture-shifting scene over the decades has had its own drug of choice - from LSD in the 60s counter-culture, through to the MDMA of the rave scene, and the fingerprints of the intel agencies are never far from the surface.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 116: CATHI MORGAN - UK MK-ULTRA

The nefarious aspects of MK-Ultra at the hands of the CIA have been well documented. But far less talked-about is the UK arm of this far-reaching programme of mind control and mass social monitoring.

Guesting to fill in some gaps is Cathi Morgan, a veteran hippie and festival-goer, who suspects she may have been subject to some early programming herself. More recently, she has turned to researching possible links between the UK's free party scene and LSD, population control, and surveillance at the hands of agencies like MI6 and the Tavistock Institute.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 114: CRROW 777 & JASON LINDGREN - CULTURAL MIND-CONTROL

Listen to "GVP #114 - Crrow 777 & Jason Lindgren - Cultural Mind-Control" on Spreaker.



Here to discuss societal mind-control in its many forms are the researcher Crrow 777 and his podcast co-host Jason Lindgren.

Our chat begins by considering how entertainment - and the music industry in particular - is used to subliminally influence the collective mindset of the general public. Crrow and Jason cite many examples.

Around midway, the conversation changes tack as we consider the cosmology of the place we live, and the mass deceptions that have been foisted on us in this regard. We reflect on the recent US solar eclipse, considering what viewers may really have witnessed, and how it ties into the true nature of the Earth. As we conclude, it's so often easier to explain something by eliminating what it's definitely not, rather than claiming to have all the answers as to what it is.

An intelligent and thought-provoking exchange of views throughout.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 112: SONIA POULTON - REFLECTIONS ON DIANA 20TH ANNIVERSARY

As the mainstream media continues to reinforce the official version of what happened to Princess Diana on 31st August 1997, ie, ‘Henri Paul was drunk’, independent journalist Sonia Poulton returns to discuss the more nefarious aspects of this event and its background.

We cover many of the anomalies, and Sonia raises the subject of Keith Allen’s film ‘Unlawful Killing’, the title of which reflects the outcome of the official inquest into Diana’s death. Despite this, still no-one has been brought to justice. Clues as to the full complicity of military-intelligence and the Royal Family themselves are considered.

Sonia discusses the long-term impact the event may have had on public support for the Royals, and the degree to which it may have sown mis-trust of the Establishment into the collective mindset. She finishes by recapping on her current investigations into the Madeleine McCann case.

Listen to "Good Vibrations podcast, Vol. 112. Sonia Poulton - Reflections on Diana 20th Anniversary" on Spreaker.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 111: JAN IRVIN & STEVE OUTTRIM - LEGACY OF MK-ULTRA & THE COUNTER-CULTURE

Listen to "GVP #111 - Jan Irvin & Steve Outtrim - MK-Ultra & The Counter-Culture" on Spreaker.



This is one of the most important podcasts I've put out, information-wise, as it goes into fine detail as to how we are systematically brainwashed and mind-controlled through the weaponisation of culture. Taking this information on board and acting on it is the key to getting back our power and living freely, as we were always intended to by creation..

Returning guest Jan Irvin of Gnostic Media is joined by New Zealand IT specialist-turned independent researcher Steve Outtrim, as we reflect on the legacy of 1967’s ‘Summer of Love’ - in many ways the zenith of the 1960s counter-culture scene.

As Jan and Steve’s work has shown, the entire movement appears to have been the creation of the intelligence community, specifically the CIA working under the direction of Britain’s MI6, and it stands as a 101 masterclass in how culture-changing social-engineering gets done.

We retrace many of the events and personnel that played a key role in the culture shift, including the Macy Conferences, cybernetics, Aldous Huxley, Gordon Wasson, The Esalen Institute, SRI, Berkeley, Owlsley Stanley, Stewart Brand, Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg, San Francisco’s Human Be-In and the Monterey Pop Festival. The influential roles of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones are discussed, along with that of the ‘acid guru’ Dr. Timothy Leary, who later confessed to having been an asset of the CIA.

We consider the templates that are so often employed by the social-engineers, including the Hegelian Dialectic and the creation of false heroes and role models, in the hope that the public can fully understand the ways in which we’re continually being played, as the first step towards not getting fooled again.

The interview is interspersed with original music and speech audio to help bring the story alive.

MD AT REAL CHANGE, LEEDS, SATURDAY 29TH JULY

Tomorrow, I'll be up at Real Change Leeds' latest all-day meeting where I'll be kicking off around 12.30pm with my Lifetime Actors and Culture-Creation talk. A handful of other speakers on the bill covering other important subjects, too. This is a great group doing real positive work in the city and beyond, not least with the homeless. Come and join us if you can.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 110: SOFIA SMALLSTORM - TRANSHUMAN ENGINEERING

DOWNLOAD LINK:

https://www.sendspace.com/file/jh54g1

The incoming Transhumanist/ Futurist agenda for humanity is under discussion this episode, as US researcher Sofia Smallstorm guests to offer some very incisive perspectives. Sofia discusses the two main facets - Artificial Intelligence, which most of us have heard of, and IA, or Intelligence Augmentation, which many haven't. She also offers the tantalising revelation that the symbiosis which awaits us through Futurism, is not the first time that humanity has had its biology rewired, and has adapted to it fully.

We go on to discuss many other aspects of Transhumanist social-engineering, including the marketing of 'sexy technology' to the youth, and the ever-present Transgender agenda.

VIDEO: MARK DEVLIN GUESTS ON JAN IRVIN’S UNSPUN PODCAST

I got to guest on Jan Irvin's Unspun podcast last night, to get into the nefarious aspects of both the corporate hip-hop and electronic dance music genres, with the evidence of social-engineering and mind-control never far from the surface. Specifically, I talked about the ongoing Afrika Bambaataa sex abuse allegations, the recent death of Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy, and the apparent sexual deviancy of R Kelly.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 109: ELLEN RAINE - IS PAUL REALLY DEAD??

DOWNLOAD LINK:

https://www.sendspace.com/file/og94fl

A theory has existed for the best part of 50 years that Paul McCartney of the Beatles died in a terrible car accident in 1966, and was replaced by an impostor, commonly known as ‘Faul’, who has been playing the role to this day. It’s clear that the individual currently claiming to be ‘Paul McCartney’ is an entirely different man to the biological Paul, and all the evidence bears this out. In fact, many researchers seem to agree that there has been more than one ‘Faul’ over the years. There has never been, however, any concrete, irrefutable evidence that the real Paul died back in ’66 - only a massive array of symbolic pictorial and audio clues placed in Beatles material, and the legend that it spawned.

Ellen Raine is an American citizen researcher who has made full use of the opportunities afforded by the internet. Like so many of us, she became obsessed with trying to solve the McCartney condundrum, and during the course of her research, hit upon a tantalising theory. Her contention is that, while Paul was certainly replaced in 1966, he didn’t die, and - she claims - the proof comes from him making one more later public appearance before fading back into obscurity. While other conspiracy researchers have assumed this individual to be Faul, it is in fact, she claims, the original James Paul McCartney.

In this episode, Ellen walks us through her theory and her evidence, and speculates on what all the clues may really have been hinting at. Crucially, we reflect on the role that the Military Intelligence community must have had in covering this whole affair up, and on the implications this has for the Beatles being assets of the intel services, as many have suspected for so long.

Does the whole ‘Paul Is Dead’ rabbit hole goes even deeper than most of us ever thought before??

PICTURES: DESTINO IBIZA'S FLOWER POWER FESTIVAL

Interesting scenes at Destino Ibiza's 50 Years of Flower Power Festival presented by Pacha, including large-scale recreations of the Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road sleeves, and what looks like the bus that Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters used to drive around California distributing free LSD from. The soundtrack was a mixed bag; Don McLean, Van Morrison, Sam & Dave and the Supremes aren't really what I think of as 'hippie' music. The most shocking thing of all were the drinks prices, though. 35 Euros for two sparkling waters and a Red Bull? Wasn't Flower Power supposed to be all about anti-capitalism?

 

'65 TO '69: THE SOUNDTRACK TO A MASTERCLASS IN SOCIAL ENGINEERING

Another one marking the 50th anniversary of the Flower Power 1967 Summer of Love, (sponsored by those nice folks at Langley, VA.)

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 108: NEIL SANDERS & MATT SERGIOU - THE LEGACY OF 1967’S SUMMER OF LOVE

DOWNLOAD LINK:

https://www.sendspace.com/file/zkw3am

Neil Sanders and Matt Sergiou return to the series for a three-way conversation marking the 50th anniversary of the fabled ‘Summer Of Love’, the zenith of the hippie/ counter-culture scene. The official record has it that this was an organic movement that that just grew on its own, but the new availability of information has shown it all to have had the fingerprints of the military-intelligence services such as the CIA, MI6 and the Tavistock Institute all over it.

We consider the legacy of the events which led to the 1967 climax and the effects they had on Western culture which are still being experienced today, the pre-cursor to it, the Beatnik scene of a generation earlier, and the parallels between what was happening in California and the avant-garde counter-culture scene of London in the 1960s. Along the way, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Charles Manson, LSD and the acid house scene of the 1980s all come up for discussion.


The musical soundtrack to those times:

MARK DEVLIN PRESENTATION AT REAL CHANGE, LEEDS, SATURDAY 29TH JULY

I'll be bringing my Lifetime Actors and Culture-Creation talk to Real Change in Leeds on Saturday 29th July, amidst a host of other empowering presentations. Get there if you can.

VIDEO: CD FURY ON WHY THEY KILLED PRODIGY OF MOBB DEEP

A very insightful and revealing video on the untimely death of Prodigy.

ENTIRE AUDIO ARCHIVE TO BE RELOADED FOLLOWING SOUNDCLOUD TERMINATION

The re-upload of my entire audio archive of several hundred shows, (Good Vibrations, The Sound Of Freedom and everything else) has begun following my enforced take-down by Soundcloud last week, (see attached.) It will take many weeks of constant uploads to restore everything, especially with the slow internet connection in my area, but I’ll get there eventually. Check back here for updates as things progress.

In the meantime, there’s still a bunch of my material available at www.youtube.com/markdevlintv which hasn’t yet been shut down! 

What is it they say? “These things are sent to try us”?

VIDEO: BBC4'S HOW HIPPIES CHANGED THE WORLD, PART 2

Here’s the second of BBC4’s recent documentaries marking 50 years since the counter-culture/ flower power Summer of Love. Again, it’s full of annoying ads, but at least avoids the need to watch it on the BBC iPlayer.

Naturally, it also neglects to mention that the whole scene was a social-engineering creation of the CIA. But as long as you bear this point in mind, there’s still much knowledge and nostalgia to be gained from it.

VIDEO SERIES: HOW MEDIA SHAPED THE GENERATIONS

These three videos give a really outstanding overview of how social engineering and culture-creation have been achieved throughout the decades, on both sides of the Atlantic, and with the same military intelligence-affiliated individuals and organisations cropping up time and time again.

In particular, the second video (The Chaos Era) covering the LSD-laden counter-culture of the 1960s - a creation of the CIA from start to finish - is particularly thorough, summing up a complex story in highly succinct and thorough terms.

These come highly recommended.

VIDEO: BBC4'S HOW HIPPIES CHANGED THE WORLD, PART 1

Here’s a Youtube link to this show (details below,) which will enable folk outside of the UK to view it, rather that being restricted by the BBC iPlayer. (It’s full of damned annoying ad breaks, but it’s worth sticking with.)

It was 50 years ago today...

In which regard, BBC4 broadcast a quite fascinating look at the LSD-drenched 1967 Summer of Love and the hippie influence on the counter-culture last week. Very thorough in parts with mentions of Aleister Crowley, Ken Kesey, Owlsley Stanley, Aldous Huxley and the Esalen Institute. Let's see... did they forget anything? Oh yes, darnit, it seems to have slipped their mind to mention that that ENTIRE scene was the construct of the CIA and a military-intelligence exercise in generational social engineering from start to finish. Ah well, it's easily done. We'll see if they pick up the slack in the next episode.

'65 TO '69: THE SOUNDTRACK TO A MASTERCLASS IN CULTURE-CREATION

As we’re now into the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, (sponsored by those nice folks at MK-Ultra and the CIA,) I figured it was worth resurrecting this - in my view one of my finest audio creations.

The counter-culture years of the mid to late 1960s saw social change like no other period in modern history. It's only with the benefit of 50 years of hindsight that we can now understand the extent to which these events all bore the fingerprints of the military-intelligence communities, (and the dark occult,) and all set to an acid-fuelled soundtrack of tripped-out rock. On the basis that music speaks louder than words, here's the fascinating story of those five era-defining years as told by the music, with a few audio snippets from some key events along the way.

VIDEO: GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 106: LENON HONOR/ BEYOND GANGSTER BLACKFACE

Much respect to Darren Brady for compiling this illustrative visual montage to go with my recent Lenon Honor interview.

Lenon has just released his ground-breaking new documentary ‘Beyond Gangster Blackface: A Critical Analysis of Gangster Rap’ which has been two years in the making. The film looks at how the genre of hip-hop known as ‘gangsta rap’ - and the output of the group NWA in particular - affected an entire generation’s attitudes and perceptions of black people and their lifestyles. Lenon’s statistical analysis of the main themes addressed in NWA’s lyrics throws up some shocking results. The film goes a lot further than just the hip-hop element, however, its 12 interviewees delving into issues such as social-engineering and the targeted destruction of the family dynamic, male-female relationships, and historical stereotypes of African-Americans.

Along the way the conversation encompasses such subjects as the East Coast/ West Coast beef in hip-hop, ‘diss’ records, self-aggrandisement, police brutality, the historical tradition of ‘playing the dozens’, and the legacy left by the Blaxploitation movies of the early 1970s.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/dra5wph5h5x5p2y/Good+Vibrations+podcast%2C+Vol.+107_+Hans+Utter+-+The+Science+%26+Weaponisation+of+Sound.mp3

We’ve dealt with many aspects of the corporate music industry’s manipulations in this series, but under discussion this time is the whole area of Sound itself. What really is it, and how can it be used as a weapon against the masses? Here to offer some insights is ethno-musicologist Dr. Hans Utter, who listeners might be familiar with from his many appearances on Jan Irvin & Joe Atwill’s Unspun podcasts.

We consider the way sound can be used for both healing, and to create unease and agitation on the part of the listener, all according to the frequencies involved. With a large part of the human body made of water, and water known to have a consciousness which is affected by sound, this stands to reason. We also consider how pop songs are now crafted as corporate commodities, and whether algorhythmic templates are now being employed, based on melodies and sound structures which are known to be appealing to the human psyche on an unseen level.

And no conversation on these subjects would be complete without addressing the A=432 vs. A=440 standard tuning pitch debate.

MARK DEVLIN AT THE STRAWBERRY FAIR, CAMBRIDGE, THIS SATURDAY

Preparing for the Strawberry Fair on Midsummer Common, Cambridge, tomorrow, (Saturday 3rd June.)
