During his years of service, he used marijuana, mescaline, amphetamines, and LSD. The Late John Judge along with Mae Brussell maintained that the type of “acid” the Manson Family used was a special military version, unlike the stuff found on the streets, and though it was called “acid” was actually different from LSD-25. It is believed that the MK-ULTRA version of “acid” was a psilocybin derivative called EA 1729 that was used at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, home to Himmler’s SS Rocket Team, as part of MK-ULTRA experiments. Reportedly, this is the same “acid” that a buddy of David Berkowitz’s named Terry Patterson – who served with him in Korea – claimed Berkowitz was given by the “brass” while he served in the Army. Berkowitz was placed in a special program for “profiled” candidates, after he asked for conscientious objector status. Mae Brussell was convinced that Berkowitz was another in a long list of MK-ULTRA patsies, and hilariously referred to him as “Son of Uncle Sam”.

The Roots of Winston Churchill's V
Winston Churchill's famously photgraphed 'V' hand gesture was at the instruction of Aleister Crowley, to beat the Nazis. Ian Fleming, creator and author of James Bond, was a very good friend of Aleister Crowley, who introduced him to Winston Churchill, the British wartime Prime Minister. It was Aleister Crowley that inducted Churchill into magick and ritual, of which the Nazis were already involved. It was Crowley that instructed Churchill to be photographed as much as possible, flashing the V's. He taught that the gesture is the physical variant of the magical sigil of Apophis-Typhon (APEP), a symbol of destruction and annihilation which is capable of defeating the solar energy represented by the Swastika. APEP also happens to be the name of the 3 rockets that NASA fired into the total eclipse, a Masonic ritual that symbolised 'man's technology defeating the solar energy of God'.
