Not Pynchon just paranoia

[Allan Balliett]

I truly wish I could believe that all the old CIA documentation was made
public but, of course, that's a foolish wish. What's bothering me most
right now is a podcast I heard this weekend from THE LIMINALIST
http://auticulture.com/liminalist-111-tool-tyrants-jan-irvin/

This gist of which was that the entire Youth Culture of the 60's was
socially engineered by the CIA and their worldwide cohorts. It goes on to
say that not only the Beats (who is it that could actually believe that
Burroughs was NOT a double agent?) but the very Beatles themselves were
witting tools of a CIA masterminded social program. To believe for one
moment that the music and poetry of my youth was actually funded and
created by think tanks created by my grandfather's generation is really too
much to bear. (It's gets worse, he asserts that the whole 'ethneogen'
movement, past and present, has been manufactured and spun to the benefit
of THEM.)

Podcast description from the home page:

It is stated in the show notes that it has been long known that 'students
of the music hall movement' (there should be special punctuation for
indicating that you are copying from your own possibly faulty memory)
"opened doors,' etc, for the Beatles to become the success that they did.

No doubt.
