AT LEAST 22 al-Qaeda pilots are awaiting orders to “crop-dust” major U.S. cities like Chicago, New York and Los Angeles with tons of mind-bending LSD in a chilling bid to start the 1960s all over again - and destroy our will to fight.
And if you think “Operation New Summer of Love” is a way-out proposition, say FBI sources, consider this: Both the U.S. Army and CIA have stockpiled over two billion hits of the powerful hallucinogen to use against our enemies in the same way that Osama bin Laden’s terror group plans to use it against us.
The effects of an LSD “dusting”, continue the sources, would be harrowing indeed.
Computer models developed at FBI headquarters in Washington suggest that millions of otherwise sane men, women and children really would “turn on, tune in and drop out” – 1960s style – giving terrorists free reign to destroy our country from the inside out.
“The use of LSD against American citizens is not a matter of if, but when,” warns an FBI source familiar with the plot that was exposed by al-Qaeda operatives after their arrest in Germany for possession of chemicals that are used to make the drug.
“If bin Laden gets his way, we won’t be fighting terrorists - we’ll be shuffling around with flowers in our hair and living out 1967’s Summer of Love all over again.
“LSD is an exceptionally potent and dangerous ‘agent of change’. Don’t forget - the U.S. Army conducted extensive research on the drug for use in chemical and psychological warfare in the 1950s and 1960s, actually dosing soldiers without their knowledge to study how the drug diminished a person’s will to defend himself and fight for a cause.
“Forty years later, many of those soldiers are still clinically insane – they‘ve never recovered – and the Pentagon has shelled out hundreds of millions of dollars to compensate them for the damage.
“What we learned from that debacle is that LSD is easy to make and easy to dose. Not only that, it strips people of their sense of self, their sense of country, and their will to fight.
“If a dozen or so crop-dusters fanned out over Chicago, within an hour, the city would be psychotic - millions of people would be tripping their brains out, lost in a hallucinogenic nether world of their own making. Over the course of the next 10 to 12 hours, which is how long the effects last, we would expect to see thousands of suicides.
“Otherwise normal people would be running wild in the streets or cowering in corners in a futile attempt to cope with terrifying hallucinations and wild thoughts and perceptions that had no basis in reality.
“While citizens were physically and psychologically compromised, al-Qaeda operatives on the ground would have free reign to plant dirty bombs, spread smallpox and anthrax, and even assassinate key people with nobody lifting a finger to stop them.
“When you’re high on LSD, you won’t care whether George Bush is president – or bin Laden is king. All you’ll want to do is run and hide, dance and play – or figure out how to get to the top of tall building so you can jump off and kill yourself.
“And what’s really scary about ‘acid’ is that some people never recover normal thought patterns. Some do – but it can take weeks or months to shake off feelings of ‘peace, love and brotherhood’ and get back to the hard business of reality.”
The FBI’s chilling assessment of the “credible, urgent and multi-sourced threat” is echoed at the Office of Homeland Security.
Director Michael Chertoff has called on the CIA – which is reported to have 1.7 million hits of pure LSD-25 stashed away for clandestine use – to tutor his staff in what to expect from a population dosed with the drug.
“They’re showing us films of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district in 1967,” reveals a OHS source. “They’re showing us footage of Grateful Dead concerts.
“It’s scary. To think that millions of Americans might be sniffing flowers and ‘balling’ in a public park while our country is under attack is a terrifying prospect.“
While the FBI and Office of Homeland Security continue to assess the threat and develop a plan to help citizens protect themselves from an LSD attack, anti-war activists have seized on the news as a way to promote peace.
“Bring it on,“ was the war cry of one protestor, a 55-year-old tree surgeon who says he took his “fair share of LSD” in the 1960s. “This might be our last chance to stop all this fighting and find love and peace.”
