* Residents suddenly go psychotic
* Local baker cops the blame
* Turns out CIA may have spiked bread

A US writer has uncovered evidence suggesting the CIA spiked a French village's food with the hallucinogenic drug LSD

Journalist H P Albarelli Jr came across CIA documents while investigating the suspicious suicide of a biochemist who fell from a 13th floor window two years after a mystery illness that caused an entire French village to go temporarily mad 50 years ago.

Hundreds of residents in picturesque Pont-Saint-Esprit were suddenly struck down with mass insanity and hallucinations on August 16, 1951.

At least five people in the southern French village died and dozens were locked up in asylums after witnessing terrifying hallucinations of dragons and fire.

In the horror scenes an 11-year-old tried to strangle his grandmother. Another man shouted: "I am a plane", before jumping out of a second-floor window, breaking his legs.

For decades the bizarre "Cursed Bread" incident was blamed on a local baker whose baguettes had been poisoned with either a psychedelic mould or mercury.

But new evidence points the finger at the CIA who are accused of spiking bread with LSD in a mind control experiment.

The incident - which took place at the height of the Cold War - was investigated by a Swiss pharmaceutical company Sandoz. The company has been revealed as the same organisation that secretly supplied the CIA with LSD.

One note transcribes a conversation between a CIA agent and a Sandoz official who mentions the "secret of Pont-Saint-Esprit" and explains that it was not "at all" caused by mould but by diethylamide - the D in LSD.

The French Government has officially denied any involvement in the case. According to US reports, French intelligence chief have demanded the CIA explain itself. The CIA is yet to come forward.

  • ...and then some religious nut blow up some buildings in the US and the americans sheeps wonder "oh my, why did they do this to us? oh they must hate us for our freedoms"

    Fucking hypocrites.

  • @PhreakPhantom You don't have any freedoms thats a dream you never did have and now never will :P

  • You should rename this video.

  • @DRhandycam change it to what?

  • Things I recommend (re)searching if this video interests you- 'bohemian grove', 'the trance-formation of American- Cathy O Brien', 'mk ultra' ...the CIA and cocaine...feel free to add your own!

  • @xxstarchildxx 'bohemian grove' <<--- That's alex jones fabricated bullshit story! "MKUltra" is interesting but doesn't just get into drugs. The experiments they did in vietnam were top stuff but most people dont have a clue of what experiments they did on the enemy or believe it if they did. LOL

  • @QRF11B it's not unsubstantiated "bullshit", do your fucking research, sunshine. the cia & other defense/intelligenc (ha... the irony) are not typical "government agencies". so what do u know, what clue do u have...? everything i said is FACT aside perhaps from the first sentence which was simply an observation of a possibilty. before deriding my posts as u appear to have spent the day doing to others here... do some research that doesnt solely involve CIA etc press releases. baa baa mr sheeple

  • @latuea yes because the journalist live longer, that being said you can make an argument on the decline of american journalism's content, especially on tv, I remember my father telling me about nightly footage of the korean war, and reading of people eating dinner while the news showed violent coverage of the vietnam war. And i think how much indepth coverage of iraq and afghanistan have really gotten? Is it me or is it kinda of thin.

  • @TheLegendJKil it's a representive democracy, yes i believe members of the cia would do this, people forget how conformist america was in the 50's, and if certain states believed if you where unproductive(black uneducated,chronically unmarried and pregnant), they would have chemically sterilized. I don't condemn the 50's america because they where doing what we are still doing now, which is evolving, sometimes much of the time for better but sometimes for worst.

  • @rollinnatchaaagg ur either incredibly gullible or a spook... actually both could be true simultaneuosly. so the terminal sensory deprivation experiments that involved drugging ppl with lsd etc until they died, just so the "researchers"(yeah whatever... josef mengele called himself a researcher too!) could see what happened along the way=sadism not science; so these "tests" advance mankind huh...? maybe u consider the deaths of blacks & homeless ppl advancing mankind they were main test subjects

  • @PhreakPhantom stop your whining, just be clad that the CIA is not after you or your family, or your country.

  • @Zoink555 its not bullshit when the skulls and bone meets at the bohemian grove there is always

    people protesting in front of it and there is police all over the place... plus it was admitted by many politician

    ofc they said that there is nothing weird about whats going on in there but still admitted...

  • @xxstarchildxx order of death and skulls and bones 322

  • I read the author's book. It is extremely disturbing. The poor Olsen family didn't have a clue why their father - allegedly - committed suicide. I think it is very possible he was thrown out of the window, as the NY D.A. also thought.

    This was the atmosphere when JFK was killed.
