All aboard the MHCHAOS Agents & Johnny Acid-seeds bus. I couldn't help myself, had to outdo the high benchmark set by Pt. I. Here comes installment #3, clocking in at nearly 6 hrs. Sub to the PPM Patreon to access the unabridged version of this blue ribbon, gargantuan ep:

I think our MHCHAOS Agents primary & secondary source assemblage is coming along nicely.
In this episode, we set the foundation of our ethnographic & forensic recreation of the Columbia Uprisings, illustrating how the Communes were both a significant moment in New Left history, inciting a new militant stage in various NL groups' political development, and also how the Communes triggered the formalization & reprioritization of COINTELPRO, showing how it looms large over the history of American counterintel & counterinsurgency in the past 60 years. We also roll out some proper COINTELPRO & targeting of New Left and Civil Rights mvmt context to effectively situate our half audio-documentary, half Ramparts report Columbia Uprising history.
The main, new sources for this one are:
Vander Wall & Churchill's - The COINTELPRO PAPERS
Joshua Melville - American Time Bomb
Ramparts (May, '68 Issue) - "[An Exclusive Report] The Siege of Columbia"
The Columbia Revolt documentary
And a couple Democracy Now! Clips

What’s on the docket for today?
Well, we’re going to put the finishing touches to our Drugs as Weapons Against Us base, wrapping off the majority of the excerpts from the Potash book that I wanted to work into this series as we expand our primary & secondary source assemblage. We’re going to hammer our way thru John's coverage of SDS’s history for the most part, including the Columbia Uprising and up to the traditional leadership’s gradual mutation into the Weather Underground, triggered in part by the incident where Mark Rudd was involuntarily dosed by an FBI informant. We’re also going to introduce the Grateful Dead’s manager and a retelling of their smuggling into the locked down Columbia campus by bread van to perform & likely dose the protesters, affixing the anecdote to one of the towers flaring out from our source assemblage. We’re going to learn about their manager Rock Scully, his civil rights protesting, & month long imprisonment (a situation that puts a person at risk of turning by the feds, just saying).
Speaking of informants & undercover agents, we’re going to introduce a number of them today, working them into our MHCHAOS Rogue’s Gallery w/in this constantly expanding & renovating structure...
These CIs include:
George Demmerle (who infiltrated a smattering of the New Left groups we’re focusing on in the NYC & Lower East Side scenes)
Bob Pierson (a Chicago cop who attached himself to one of the Yippie leaders like a remora during the Chicago Convention protests)
Richard Aoki (one of the few non-black Black Panther Party members & onetime Minister of Education who infiltrated & surveilled everyone from CPUSA, YSA, the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party, the Third World Liberation Front-organized strike at UC Berkeley in the late ‘60s and more besides on behalf of his FBI handler Burnie Threadgill… We’re even going to read some redacted docs from his FBI file which will set an exciting precedent for our cont’d investigation into other informers.

Reminder that the PPM Moment of Truth campaign is nearing its conclusion—we've got two & a half weeks remaining to hit that 120 new subs goal. Pls consider supporting the show so that we can keep the Independent Cork Board Researchers Union lights on.
Embarking on the longest, strangest trip in PPM history yet-
Inside, you'll find a mammoth primary & secondary source assemblage which begins our construction of a deep history of the Columbia Uprising in '68, Students for a Democratic Society, the anti-war movement, the NYC activist milieu, Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, the Watts Rebellion & black urban insurgents in LA, various Black Panther & Black Panther in Exile party members, and the eventual militant SDS splinter group known as the Weather Underground...
Zeroing in on all of said groups’ targeting by American intel, COINTELPRO FBI informants, Johnny Acid-seeds, & MHChaos Agents... Not to mention the Grateful Dead's sound warlock & psych alchemist Owsley, who was perhaps responsible for more lasting brain damage among the '60s counterculture than any other singular person. He's closely tailed in the record books by Sasha Shulgin, that is, the Father of MDMA & a fellow synthetic drugs proselytizer, whose relationship w/ Owsley we'll peel back in some detail.

Thanks for supporting the show!

Here is hopefully the first of a number of wide-ranging & incisive convos w/ John Potash (https://www.johnpotash.com) on the weaponization of drugs for social control, counterinsurgent strategies, and the political assassinations of musicians & activists who buck against the capitalist status quo and whose ideological beliefs & activities are deemed threatening by the ruling elite & their intel henchmen.
John is the author of Drugs as Weapons Against Us & The FBI War on Tupac Shakur. He's also the producer / director of documentaries of the same name, as well as his most recent release Shots: Eugenics to Pandemics—his filmography will be bolstered in short order by the forthcoming C I A Drugs R Us! A Drugs as Weapons... Sequel.
A journalist & investigative researcher w/ a meritorious career stretching 3 decades, John’s expertise has been called upon in documentaries broadcast on C-SPAN, A&E, Reelz, & RT among others—he’s also a veteran of noided radio royalty Coast to Coast AM & myriad other shows on the late night airwaves. He’s published his writings in Z, Covert Action Quarterly, The Baltimore Chronicle, & The Free Press. Along the way, John’s completed graduate studies at Columbia University and has worked as a mental health & addictions counselor for more than 25 years, giving him a firsthand view of the neurotoxic impacts of many recreational substances on the mind & their weaponization against political dissidents by American intelligence, further underlining his qualifications as one of the preeminent scholars of the way in which the imperial hegemon wields psychoactive substances for mass mind & social control & counterinsurgent purposes at home and abroad... In my humble estimation, he is one of the foremost historians of MKULTRA, COINTELPRO, & intel-run culture engineering operations—he's also one of my personal favorite independent researchers, to boot. It was a true privilege to pick his mind.

A solo ep accompanying this interview, including readings of excerpts from Drugs as Weapons, to follow imminently...
Exploring the 1968 anti-war & Gym Crow student uprisings at Columbia, various members of that NYC activist milieu's targeting w/ acid & infiltration by the feds, & a Drugs as Weapons-esque case study concerning a Columbia dropout who was busted running a sophisticated, 40 person strong opioid manufacturing & trafficking ring in Omaha in 2017.

This concluding ep of the Engleman contract killing case study is where our investigation really picks up, reaching some climactic revelations, such as:
A quite unexpected & rarely covered New Age mystical undercurrent to the case, including the Engleman family's abiding interest in esoterica (not to mention Glennon’s quasi Manson-esque astral projection prison ministry).
We learn even more about his mob enforcer aspirations.
We uncover the Killer Driller victim Frey's work w/ a St. Louis executive class airplane renovating firm that designed luxury cabins for company planes, including hugely successful corporations & conglomerates like Coca-Cola, GM, Northrop Grumman, Anheuser-Busch, etc.
We tease out the sex trafficking angle to the Bullock cold case, discovering that the Killer Driller was not only performing off the books medical work for what appears to have been a high society escort service, possibly w/ St. Louis organized crime or mafia ties, but that he was also married to one of the Guys & Dolls Club’s most desired prostitutes, aka his first wife Ruthie.
We even find tell of an Epstein-esque “black book” that named the powerful clientele of this prostitution ring, and by extension, can reasonably speculate that said document played a key role in the coverup of the Bullock murder.
All in all, peeling back layers to this off the beaten path serial contract killer case in American true crime that most handlings have missed, dimensions to the case study that are even more resonant w/ Programmed to Kill or Eye of the Chickenhawk than I first anticipated.
And staying true to the Counterpropaganda miniseries & our growing noided media studies department, we also alight upon a film & a prestige TV series that were both inspired by Glennon Engleman… Namely ‘90s body horror flick The Dentist & FX’s Fargo S1.
I also deliver some closing remarks as to why I think the Killer Driller goes a long way towards contradicting Linklater’s “hit men don’t exist” thesis of “Hit Man”.

The PPM Moment of Truth challenge continues. I've set a goal of reaching 120 new subs over the months of July & August. Pls consider supporting the show for as little as $3.30 a month—help keep PPM's lights on. My ability to sustain the show & invest the steep amount of labor I have been over this past year & a half is increasingly under threat by real life, material concerns... So it's essential the show cont's to grow. Thanks for taking a moment to subscribe to the Patreon or else plug the pod online or to a friend. Or even both. Immensely grateful for your support.
Here begins our foray into the sordid, illustrative tale of sus dentist & serial contract killer Glennon Engleman, the Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde of sleepy, military & aerospace manufacturing hub St. Louis in the '50s / '60s / '70s / '80s. We examine his Army Air Corps background, the surprising PTK contours of his case, his Black Widow grooming, his mob enforcer aspirations, and the possible implications of various threads connecting him to organized crime & sexual trafficking in the St. Louis area... Lots of novel research in these two installments, strap in.

Counterpropaganda is a new intermittent series—this is the opening salvo. We're christening it w/ a feature of films depicting contract killers. Our impetus is the anti-hitman thesis of Linklater's new screwball Netflix noir ironically titled "Hit Man", a piece of subtle albeit messy copaganda that masquerades as lighthearted psychological thriller packed w/ meditations on identity, but which is mostly a sexy romp glorifying entrapment stings, sexing-up confidential informants, & trying to deconstruct the existence of hit men (all things Klonny is decidedly not about). The movie also possesses a mercenary streak its writers Richard & leading man Glen Powell might have thought would serve as an indictment of us & trickstery subversion, but I think it gets lost in its own sauce & genre dalliances. So yr neighborly noid is here to unpack why I disagree w/ the film's framing of (supposedly nonexistent) hitmen & law enforcement moreover, which spills into multiple parts as we dive into a number of IRL "retail" contract killer case studies to pick at the film's seams, resulting in one becoming a full-on, deep history of a little known serial contract killer named Glennon Engleman aka the Killer Driller, a sus dentist who moonlighted as a murderer-for-hire, mastermind of insurance schemes, & Black Widow keeper—and we discover that these serial contract murders, which are a little off the beaten true crime path, cohere w/ McGowan's PTK framework or more recent works like "Eye of the Chickenhawk" to a surprising degree. That investigative research arrives in Pt. II.
In this ep, we discuss:
The Trump ear nicking assassination attempt (foreshadowing future Counterprop I'd reckon); We cram in a litany of the noir & contract killing films & TV that Klonny's been watching or thinking about in preparation for this, including - Hit Man, The Killer, Kill List, Le Samouraï, Sicario, The Day of the Jackal, The Parallax View, JFK, Rampart, The Shield,... etc.
We conduct a perfunctory SUS CHECK on Linklater, which is primarily made up of examining his role in furthering Alex Jones's platform—the Bill Cooper, Ron Paul, & Branch Davidians-connected, fellow Austinian conspi-radio broadcaster & parapolitical research shitcoater.
Which means we have to take an obligatory look at JONES'S C I A MOM & POPS, including his sus, implants-designing dentist of a father David Jones, who'd affix microphonic crowns on Agency teeth's (foreshadowing Glennon Engleman in Pt. II, nice) & may have been an operative in his own right... Even provided covert financial support to CA death squads... And Carol Hamman, Alex's Ma, who would help to secure housing accommodations for East German defectors in Texas in the '80s... And then there's Alex's Uncle Bill, who was a heli pilot in 'Nam, conducted Black Ops missions, & likely was involved in the Phoenix Program's extrajudicial assassinations (possibly a Hit Man connection only 2 degrees from Linklater).
The other primary focus of our brief SUS CHECK:
THE CHURCH OF THE SUBGENIUS
The irony cult cum performance art troupe cum zine collective cum PA TV show cum ARG that Richard Linklater is affiliated with, learning how he's has championed said highly conceptual oddball project in the doc JR "Bob" Dobbs & the Church of the SubGenius.
We get into how these exemplars of Austin high weirdness had an indelible impact on Linklater's oeuvre, inspiring his first film Slacker via their gnostic/sexual elemental force dubbed SLACK. We explore how this not-quite-fake cult started by Austin outsiders Ivan Stengs & Philo Drummond, which preaches a sexual & recreational gospel that is also rooted in a voracious syncretizing of basically every conspiracy theory known to man, might just have become a second Scientology if its founders had been a little more zealous.
