Joan Baez wrote in her autobiography, And a Voice to Sing With (Signet, 1987), that when she was a young girl, "most of the bright young Stanford scientists went off to Los Alamos, New Mexico, where the atomic bomb was being developed. My father recognized the potential destructive power of the unleashed atom even in those early days. So he took a job as a research physicist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York." Cornell was the home base of the CIA's mind control experiments, and Joan Baez is a self-described survivor of ritual child abuse, which employs a form of mind control, trauma-based programming, a technique perfected by the CIA.<br><br>"Soon my father was invited to become Head of Operations Research at Cornell. Exactly what the job entailed was classified information, but he was offered a three-week cruise on an aircraft carrier as an introduction to the project and promised a huge salary. As it turned out, he would be overseeing Project Portrex, a vast amphibious exercise which among other things involved testing fighter jets, then a relatively new phenomenon. Millions of dollars would be poured into the project, about which he was to know little and say less." Farina, who had married into a CIA family, was killed in a motorcycle crash. According to the sleeve of his last record, "Goldwater was about to win the California primary and the skies were somewhat uneasy."<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <p></p><i></i>

As I understand it, Johnny was the Reagan fan (and later prominent Republican). "Bonzo Goes To Bitburg" was a fairly scathing condemnation of Ronnie, as I recall, and caused a rift in the group. <p></p><i></i>

What were those "Hendrix hijinx"? I know that he had competing managers who fought over him, and, at one point, had him kidnapped by thugs. <p></p><i></i>

man i saw joan baez years ago, and she made a big monologue about sexually abused girls, and played a song about it. :damned: <p></p><i></i>

Mike Jeffery was Jimi Hendrix's manager when the kidnapping happened. <br><br>And yeah, I consider that to be a legitimately spooky event. Jeffery was former SAS, fwiw.

It's possible that he was mishandled by the paramedics who dealt with his overdose hospitalization. But Hendrix was reckless with his dope choices. That's the risk that gets run- that it's all over, just like that. Mixing downers and drinking, I used to be that stupid. Not very often, but it only takes once. I once woke up on my stomach next to a pile of puke, instead of dying on my back. That's how easy it can happen. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=robertdreed>robertdreed</A> at: 6/30/06 1:25 am<br></i>

Here's an intriguing piece by Alex Constantine on the death of Jimi Hendrix from chapter seven of his book 'The Covert War on Rock'. <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.maebrussell.com/Articles%20and%20Notes/Covert%20War%20Against%20Rock.html">Chapter 7 from The Covert War on Rock</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>and also a piece by Salvador Astucia: <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.jfkmontreal.com/john_lennon/Chapter12.htm">The FBI's War on Rock Stars</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong><!--EZCODE UNDERLINE START--><span style="text-decoration:underline">Synopsis:</span><!--EZCODE UNDERLINE END--></strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>On September 28, 1970, the official cause of death was announced at an inquest conducted by Westminster coroner Gavin Thurston, who reached the following conclusion:<br><br>The cause of death was clearly inhalation of vomit due to barbiturate intoxication, but there is no evidence as to intention to commit suicide. He had no worries outside the usual stresses of business and I do not feel it would be safe to regard this as sufficient motive. If the question of intention cannot be answered, then it is proper to find the cause of death and leave it an open verdict.<br><br>Twenty-three years later, information emerged which strongly suggests Hendrix was murdered. In 1993 it was disclosed that Hendrix had not strangled on his vomit, but "drowned in red wine." Dr. John Bannister was the physician—a Surgical Registrar—who worked on Hendrix initially at the St Mary Abbot's Hospital. Shortly afterwards Hendrix was seen by Dr. Martin Seifert, the Medical Registrar on duty that day. In an interview with The Times newspaper, published December 18, 1993, Dr. Bannister made the following statements about the death of Jimi Hendrix:<br><br>Jimi Hendrix had been dead for some time, without a doubt, hours rather than minutes. He didn’t have any pulse. The inside of his mouth and mucous membranes were black because he had been dead for some time. He had had no circulation through his tissues at any time immediately prior to coming to hospital…[Red wine] was coming out of his nose and out of his mouth. It was horrific. The whole scene is very vivid, because you don’t often see people who have drowned in their own red wine. There was red wine all over him, I think that he was naked but he had something around him—whether it was a towel or a jumper—around his neck. That was saturated in red wine. His hair was matted…The medical staff used an 18 inch metal sucker to try to clear Hendrix’s airway, but it would just fill up with red wine from the stomach…He was completely cold. I personally think he died long before. He was cold and he was blue. He had all the parameters of somebody who had been dead for some time. We worked on him for about half an hour without any response at all. There was a medical registrar, myself, nursing staff and I think one other doctor. I didn’t even know who Jimi Hendrix was. It’s tragic that such a bloke died in those circumstances.<br><br>In addition, there was practically no alcohol in the bloodstream. Someone apparently poured red wine down Jimi’s throat to intentionally cause asphyxiation after first causing barbiturate intoxication. This person apparently slipped him a large quantity of barbiturates which caused him to go into a temporary coma. During this time his natural reflexes stopped working. This means he lost the ability to cough as a natural response to liquid going down his windpipe. Without the ability to cough he was easily drowned. And he was drowned in an extremely sinister manner. Large quantities of red wine were poured down his throat. As he strangled, he spewed huge amounts of vomit, something that normally happens with drowning victims, but according to the physician who worked on him, Hendrix did not die from drowning in his own vomit. He died from drowning in red wine.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>Interesting to say the least and my apologies for any digression. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=theomegaman@rigorousintuition>The Omega Man</A> at: 6/30/06 7:36 am<br></i>
