Le Pain Maudit: Bad Bread or the CIA’s LSD?
Around the time at the beginning of the cold war, something horrific and unexpected happened in the quiet French village of Pont-Saint-Esprit. Pont-Saint-Esprit, with a population of about 4,000, became a scene of complete chaos as a large portion of its citizens went completely mad on the same day.
“Some ran screaming through the narrow, cobbled streets, crying out that terrible, flesh-eating demons were in hot pursuit. Others, wild-eyed and clearly deranged, jabbered that their brains had turned to molten lead and their internal organs were flowing, ablaze, from their ears.
One man leapt from a high window in the main street, shouting ‘I’m an aeroplane’, before plunging to the ground with his arms outstretched.
Despite breaking his legs in the fall, the man got to his feet and staggered for 50 yards – pursued by a mob of madmen and women – before collapsing in a pool of blood.
Small boys tried to strangle their mothers. One man tried to cut open his chest with a butcher’s knife, saying he had to ‘let his heart free’.
Gabriel Validire, a local stonemason, gabbled to his wife: ‘I’m dead! My head is copper! I’ve snakes in my stomach!’
Throughout the night, across the rooftops and spires of the old town, local people howled and begged for mercy, saying they were being attacked by strange, multi-coloured wild animals.
Even the dogs, cats and chickens went berserk and careered through the streets, while other animals foamed at the mouth and perished after uncontrollable convulsions.”
It was the unfortunate village baker, Roch Briand, that took the blame for causing the town to go hopping nuts. Investigators concluded that Monsieur Briand purchased bad rye that had been fermented with the LSD-like fungus, ergot. And so the matter was officially concluded and resolved.
Case re-opened: Recently top secret CIA documents were discovered that strongly link Dr. Sidney Gottlieb a/k/a The Black Sorcerer, former head of the CIA’s mind control project, to the incident at Pont-Saint-Esprit. The evidence is overwhelming that the unsuspecting folks of Pont-Saint-Esprit got dosed by The Black Sorcerer with acid.

whatever happened to a good ‘speed’ night?
You knew where you were with speed…well…maybe not…you tended to wake up in someone’s front garden with no idea how you ended up there…
…not that I’d know of course…I’ve just been told…;-)
Go CIA!! Keep up the good work. Just running out for a baguette! 🙂
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
“there it is.”
Depending on how much butter Mike has ingested with his psycho-loaf, I bet he’s tripping his f’ing ‘nads off by now, telling all his dogs how much he loves them with tears streaming down his cheeks, laughing uncontrollably.
With LSD and ecstasy having similar effects at the start of the trip, lets hope that is ALL he is doing with them…
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha! What is that light? Oh no! Not Him! Anyone but Him. I didn’t mean it. I really didn’t 🙂
As we can all see, Mike has been licking toads again. A CERTAIN toad.
Repeatedly.
LOL LOL LOL!!! Dang! You caught me 🙂
I never live in the right place at the right time!
Try Oklahoma. It’s a trip, often a bad one.
Wouldn’t surprise me one bit. The CIA did a lot of testing with a lot of psychotropic drugs, especially LSD. Partially for research and partially because they suspected that the Soviets were heavily involved in mind control and such.
In fact, the one time president of the World Psychiatry Association, Ewen Cameron, dosed thousands of patients with a treatment he called “psychic driving” in which he would give megadoses of LSD and shock treatment for months at a time. Turns out that he was on the payroll of the CIA in a program called MKULTRA.
The MKULTRA program is so out there that even though it is factually documented, to talk about the stuff will make you appear to be some sort of paranoid conspiracy nut.
Just these few sentences in this comment has probably convinced a few readers that Krell is a bit “Toys in the Attic”.
Coo-coo. I always took you for a frothing-at-the-mouth paranoid. Actually I have read about MKULTRA. If it weren’t for the CIA and dosing soldiers, the sixties counter culture would have been much different, if at all.
Engineer stuff all your life and nobody notices. But just one frothing at the mouth and suddenly your labeled for life.
“We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD, by the way. Everything is the opposite of what it is, isn’t it?” John Lennon
A pocket full of rye! I liked your post Mr. Lawyer!
Some crazy stuff. Must have been an extremely potent dose. I just heard about it on BBC America today.
