LSD Laced Bread, mmmmm demons eating my heart from the bottom of my feet!

For fifty years it has been a mystery as to what was used to taint bread in the small village of Pont-Saint-Esprit.


In 1951 a small village in the south of France was suddenly and mysteriously accosted with mass insanity and hallucinations. At least five people died do to the ensuing hysteria, dozens were committed to an asylum.


On august 16th 1951 residents of the town began to see vivid hallucinations of beasts and fire and other mid fucking images. (You may have tried LSD but imagine having someone dosed you and you've never tried or heard of LSD pretty scary eh?) One man attempted to drown himself while screaming that snakes were eating him. An eleven year old tried to strangle his grandmother, another man leaped from a window while screaming "I am an plane"


Previously it was believed that a psychedelic mold had grown in the town's bread supply, but recently an american investigative journalist has uncovered evidence that the CIA peppered the local food supply with LSD as a mind control experiment at the height of the cold war.


Eventually it was determined that the local baker has unwittingly poisoned his flour with ergot a hallucinogenic mold that infects rye grain, however H P Albarelli Jr an american investigative journalist, believes that the outbreak resulted from a covert experiment that the CIA and the military's Special Ops Division (SOD)


The same scientists who produced the alternative answers to the mystery worked for the swiss based pharmaceutical which at the time was secretly supplying the Army and CIA with LSD. Mr. Arbarelli uncovered CIA documents while researching the suicide of Frank Olson a biochemist that was working for SOD. One note transcribes a conversation between a CIA official and Sandos employee that mentioned the secret of Pont-Saint-Esprit and the fact that it wasn't mold at all but diethylamide  the D in LSD.


Mr Albarelli said the real "smoking gun" was a White House document sent to members of the Rockefeller Commission formed in 1975 to investigate CIA abuses. It contained the names of a number of French nationals who had been secretly employed by the CIA and made direct reference to the "Pont St. Esprit incident." In its quest to research LSD as an offensive weapon, Mr Albarelli claims, the US army also drugged over 5,700 unwitting American servicemen between 1953 and 1965.
