Candace Owens Reveals MK Ultra's Hidden Role in the JFK and RFK Kennedy Assassinations

[00:00] How perfect the story. Anti-Zionist

[00:02] Palestinian kills beloved Kennedy.

[00:05] Kennedy curse, guys? Nah, I'm thinking

[00:08] more like Operation Every Kennedy. I do

[00:11] not believe in the Kennedy curse.

[00:14] Everyone talks about the Kennedy curse.

[00:15] Oh, there's

[00:16] uh there have been plane crashes and a

[00:18] JFK got shot and RFK got shot. I don't

[00:22] believe in a curse. I am, however, a

[00:25] believer in the idea that the CIA has

[00:28] kept incredibly close tabs on this since

[00:32] they shot JFK. Who is they? Who is they?

[00:35] Since they shot JFK. Okay, fun fact

[00:38] learned from this book, which was

[00:40] supposed to be about the Manson murders,

[00:41] this guy is amazing, Tom O'Neill, who

[00:44] went through just so much documentation

[00:46] that was hidden throughout the '60s and

[00:48] how the psychiatrists were involved, as

[00:49] I said, in drugging people, trying to

[00:52] get them to commit crimes, trying to get

[00:53] them to kill people, um involving

[00:55] themselves in the sex cults and

[00:57] hypnosis.

[00:59] Well, you know, the official story,

[01:00] which we now know is just simply not

[01:01] true or never thought were true if you

[01:03] were like me, is that Lee Harvey Oswald

[01:06] shot

[01:07] uh

[01:08] JFK and then he said he didn't shoot

[01:11] him, but then before, of course, we

[01:13] could hear from Lee Harvey Oswald, there

[01:15] was a guy named Jacob Rubenstein who

[01:18] shot

[01:19] Lee Harvey Oswald.

[01:21] And nobody really knew why he did that,

[01:23] right? The Warren Commission What Why

[01:25] did he do that? Well, we learned from

[01:28] this book that he was MK Ultra while

[01:31] awaiting trial. Now, in case you don't

[01:33] know what MK Ultra is, it's even with

[01:36] all the majority of the documents having

[01:38] been destroyed by the CIA, what was

[01:41] actually left over is so shocking to

[01:43] understand that they were using hypnosis

[01:45] and what they were trying to do was to

[01:47] see if they could create a truth serum.

[01:48] They were trying to see if they could

[01:50] implant ideas into people's minds,

[01:52] that's another component of it, and they

[01:54] were also trying to see if they could

[01:57] give people a cocktail of drugs that

[02:00] would just make them go crazy. So, they

[02:01] wouldn't even know what they did. So, if

[02:03] you were Jacob Rubenstein and you were a

[02:06] part of this assassination squad or part

[02:10] of the day they're planning to kill him

[02:13] and you think that you're in the in

[02:14] crowd and then they want to turn on you,

[02:16] they can give you a concoction of drugs

[02:17] and they can make you crazy. You won't

[02:19] remember anything.

[02:20] And a person who was leading those

[02:22] experiments was a psychiatrist named Dr.

[02:25] Jolly West. He was a part of this

[02:28] obsession with trying to see whether or

[02:30] not they could give people mental

[02:32] conditions. And so, what he discovers is

[02:35] that Dr. Jolly West paid Jacob

[02:38] Rubenstein a visit in prison before he

[02:41] was due to see the judge.

[02:44] I'm just going to read directly from

[02:45] this book. This is page 343, just this

[02:47] one little paragraph.

[02:49] After John F. Kennedy was assassinated

[02:51] in November of 1963,

[02:53] West psychiatrically examined Jack Ruby,

[02:57] who had murdered Kennedy's assassin, Lee

[03:00] Harvey Oswald, not long before Ruby was

[03:02] due to testify for the Warren

[03:04] Commission.

[03:05] West examined him alone in his jail

[03:08] cell.

[03:09] He emerged to report that Ruby had

[03:11] suffered an acute psychotic break.

[03:14] Sure enough, Ruby's testimony before the

[03:16] commission succeeded only in making him

[03:19] sound unhinged.

[03:21] He could never fully explain why he had

[03:23] decided to kill Oswald.

[03:26] Fascinating. A cocktail of drugs that

[03:27] can make people crazy. This kind of

[03:28] makes you think about Britney Spears,

[03:29] makes you think about what Kanye was

[03:30] trying to say they tried to do to him

[03:32] when he was put on a psych 5150 hold. It

[03:35] just It opens a lot. Let's stay focused

[03:38] on the Kennedys cuz that's what we're

[03:39] here to talk about.

[03:40] RFK, JFK's brother, certainly had an

[03:43] idea of who have may have killed his

[03:45] brother and I would say he was not

[03:47] accepting the official storyline uh that

[03:50] it was just

[03:51] Lee Harvey Oswald.

[03:53] He was also at the time amassing a ton

[03:55] of political power. Of course, they were

[03:57] a tremendously powerful political family

[03:59] in politics. He was a senator and he was

[04:02] gaining a lot of steam throughout the

[04:03] Democratic presidential primaries in the

[04:06] summer of 1968. Now, you got to think,

[04:08] if you're deep state and you have just

[04:11] gone through such great lengths to kill

[04:13] the guy who you didn't want to have in

[04:15] office, the guy who didn't want to have

[04:17] uh it

[04:18] nuke didn't want to send um any weapons

[04:22] over, didn't want the nuclear Dimona

[04:24] reactor in Israel done, you're trying to

[04:26] block AIPAC, you kill this guy to stop

[04:28] all of that, then all of a sudden, oh my

[04:30] gosh, he's got a brother. And now he's

[04:32] looking like he might become the

[04:34] president.

[04:35] Man, how do you How are you going to

[04:37] stop that, right? I'm just saying if if

[04:39] How are you going to stop that? Anyways,

[04:41] so he's cooking through these

[04:42] presidential primaries. Those of you

[04:44] that were not alive, like I was not

[04:45] alive during this,

[04:47] and he had just won the states of South

[04:49] Dakota and California.

[04:52] On June 5th, he is addressing his

[04:55] campaign supporters at the Ambassador

[04:57] Hotel in Los Angeles, okay? He concludes

[04:59] his remarks, he exits the stage, and the

[05:03] security begins escorting him through

[05:06] the back kitchen, when suddenly, you're

[05:08] not going to believe this, it's so

[05:09] perfect, an anti-Zionist

[05:12] Palestinian

[05:14] walks up and shoots him, and he dies,

[05:17] he's declared dead at the Good Samaritan

[05:20] Hospital the next day, 25 hours later.

[05:24] Perfect. That is Oh my gosh, these

[05:26] Palestinians

[05:27] uh you just cannot control them.

[05:30] Except that story doesn't appear to be

[05:33] entirely true, either.

[05:36] By the way, not even RFK Jr. We're not

[05:37] in conspiracy land. Not even RFK Jr.,

[05:40] who visited Sirhan Sirhan, the person

[05:42] who they say shot him, the Palestinian

[05:43] who they said shot and killed him in

[05:44] prison, RFK Jr. visited him, he doesn't

[05:47] even believe that story. Okay, this is

[05:48] the Washington Post, Who Killed Bobby

[05:50] Kennedy? His son, RFK Jr., doesn't

[05:52] believe that it was Sirhan Sirhan. This

[05:54] is Sirhan Sirhan at his parole hearing.

[05:57] What do you remember about the shooting

[05:58] if you're willing to talk about that?

[06:01] I I I I obviously I was there,

[06:04] but uh I don't remember the exact moment

[06:07] of the I don't remember pulling my gun

[06:10] uh out of my body or whatever it was

[06:12] located, and I don't remember aiming at

[06:14] any human being. I don't remember any of

[06:17] that, Mr.

[06:18] Khrushchev. And and I've said that from

[06:20] the get-go. Yeah, I understand. So, It's

[06:23] I slept on the plane to evade. Now, I

[06:25] understand. Let me just ask you a

[06:26] question. When did you start remembering

[06:28] things after the shooting? When was the

[06:30] What was the first thought that you had

[06:31] after the shooting? Everything was all

[06:33] was hazy in my head about that. And

[06:37] uh Attorney Teeter, who passed away, was

[06:39] trying to get uh

[06:41] a specialist, Dr. Herbert Spiegel in New

[06:45] York, to hypnotize me and to regress me

[06:48] and to do all that.

[06:49] >> When did you start remembering things

[06:51] clearly after the shooting?

[06:52] >> I I really don't remember things clearly

[06:55] about it.

[06:57] His lawyer, Sirhan Sirhan's lawyer, said

[07:00] thereafter, I must correct the record

[07:02] about hypnosis in the Sirhan case.

[07:05] Herbert Spiegel, doctor, a New York

[07:07] psychiatrist and world-renowned expert

[07:09] on hypnosis who teaches at Columbia

[07:11] University, has concluded that Sirhan

[07:14] was probably programmed through hypnosis

[07:16] to fire a gun in the presence of Senator

[07:19] Robert F. Kennedy without knowing what

[07:21] he was doing and without being able to

[07:23] recall either the events or the process

[07:25] of being programmed.

[07:27] I am continuing to advance Dr. Spiegel's

[07:29] conclusions in currently pending federal

[07:32] habeas corpus proceedings on Sirhan's

[07:34] behalf. Sirhan has consistently

[07:35] maintained that he cannot recall the

[07:37] assassination, has no memory of being

[07:39] programmed. Most of the books about the

[07:41] RFK case support the Manchurian

[07:42] Candidate defense. This defense was not

[07:45] presented at Sirhan's trial. Instead,

[07:48] the late Grant Cooper, Sirhan's trial

[07:49] attorney, told the jury that Sirhan was

[07:51] a paranoid schizophrenic.

[07:53] Um a diagnosis that Dr. Spiegel

[07:55] maintains is contradicted by the

[07:57] defendant's high level of

[07:58] hypnotizability.

[08:00] I find that to be fascinating as well

[08:02] because we do often see um and it makes

[08:04] me again I'm I'm attaching this here,

[08:05] just thinking about the Kanye thing,

[08:08] where they're like, he's schizophrenic,

[08:09] he's this. Well, I mean, guys, look into

[08:11] the MK Ultra program. They could quite

[08:12] literally give people schizophrenia,

[08:15] give people um

[08:17] these sorts of behavioral traits, and

[08:19] there was just so much money given into

[08:21] that program. Most of what we even know

[08:22] about the program is so limited because

[08:24] they destroyed the majority of the

[08:25] files, and just what we do know is so

[08:27] unbelievably sinister. It's It's

[08:29] terrifying. Who would have thought, by

[08:31] the way, that we would have all heard

[08:33] about this back in 2016?

[08:36] But we didn't, or at least I didn't,

[08:37] unless maybe I was under a rock. But

[08:39] even the people who were present when he

[08:42] was shot testified that Sirhan Sirhan

[08:45] didn't kill him,

[08:46] but rather

[08:48] someone from behind RFK shot and killed

[08:51] him. Okay, take this guy, Paul Schrade,

[08:54] for example. This is a picture of Paul

[08:56] Schrade. In 2016, Paul Schrade, at the

[08:59] age of 91 years old, appeared at

[09:02] Sirhan's parole hearing.

[09:04] Schrade was also shot at the Ambassador

[09:08] Hotel in Los Angeles. He was there in

[09:10] the back. He got shot by Sirhan Sirhan.

[09:14] And yet here he is appearing for him to

[09:17] be released on parole, and he apologized

[09:20] for missing Sirhan's 14 previous parole

[09:23] hearings. He told Sirhan at that time,

[09:24] quote, "I should have been here long

[09:26] ago, and that's why I feel guilty for

[09:28] not being here to help you and to help

[09:30] me."

[09:31] After the hearing, while Sirhan was

[09:33] being taken away, Schrade shouted,

[09:35] "Sirhan, I am so sorry this is happening

[09:37] to you. It is my fault."

[09:40] I'm sorry, what?

[09:42] You're You're saying sorry to the guy

[09:44] who shot you and the guy who shot RFK

[09:48] dead?

[09:50] Well, that's not the whole truth. What

[09:52] happened is not the whole truth. Well,

[09:54] at least what was presented to the

[09:55] public was not, if you believe Paul. And

[09:57] here is what he told the parole

[09:59] officers. I'm going to read you his

[10:00] remarks, which as I said, you would have

[10:02] thought with the mainstream media would

[10:04] have gone it would these would have gone

[10:05] viral, but I guess they were busy doing

[10:07] other stuff.

[10:09] Now, I'm going to skim through this, but

[10:11] um

[10:12] we'll start with how he addresses them.

[10:15] He says, "I am Paul Schrade of Los

[10:18] Angeles. I am 91 years old and back when

[10:20] I was 43, I was among six persons shot

[10:24] at the old Ambassador Hotel in Los

[10:26] Angeles at just after midnight on June

[10:29] 5th, 1968.

[10:31] I was shot along with Senator Robert F.

[10:33] Kennedy, who had just won California's

[10:35] Democratic primary election for the

[10:37] presidency of the United States.

[10:40] Five of us survived our wounds, and as

[10:42] history knows, Senator Kennedy was

[10:44] fatally wounded.

[10:46] Sirhan Bishara Sirhan was originally

[10:48] scheduled for release in 1984, but after

[10:51] intense political pressure, his parole

[10:53] date was rescinded, and he has since

[10:55] been denied 14 times.

[10:57] In order for you to make an accurate

[10:59] determination of Sirhan Sirhan's parole,

[11:01] you need to know my feelings on this

[11:02] case and the full picture of what

[11:04] actually happened.

[11:06] Sirhan, I forgive you.

[11:08] The evidence clearly shows that you were

[11:09] not the gunman who shot Robert Kennedy.

[11:12] There is clear evidence of a second

[11:13] gunman in that kitchen pantry who shot

[11:16] Robert Kennedy.

[11:17] One of the bullets, the fatal bullet,

[11:19] struck Bob in the back of the head. Two

[11:23] bullets struck Bob literally in his

[11:25] back. A fourth bullet struck the back of

[11:28] his coat's upper right seam and passed

[11:30] harmlessly through his coat.

[11:32] I believe all four of those bullets were

[11:34] fired from a second gunman standing

[11:36] behind Bob. You were never behind Bob,

[11:38] nor was Bob's back ever exposed to you.

[11:41] Indeed, Sirhan, the evidence not only

[11:43] shows you did not shoot Robert Kennedy,

[11:44] but it shows that you could not have

[11:46] shot Robert Kennedy.

[11:50] Several days ago, I made

[11:52] sure that several documents were

[11:54] submitted to this board for you to

[11:55] review. If you have not done so as yet,

[11:58] I would ask you to please review them

[12:00] very carefully during your deliberation.

[12:02] I will be glad to resubmit these

[12:03] documents to you here today.

[12:05] I believe after you review these

[12:06] documents that it should become clear to

[12:08] you that Sirhan Sirhan did not shoot and

[12:10] could not have shot Robert Kennedy. What

[12:12] I'm saying to you is that Sirhan himself

[12:14] was a victim.

[12:16] Obviously, there was someone else there

[12:17] in that pantry also firing a gun.

[12:19] While Sirhan was standing in front of

[12:21] Bob Kennedy and his shots were creating

[12:23] a distraction, the other shooter

[12:25] secretly fired at the from behind and

[12:27] fatally wounded him. Bob died 25 hours

[12:30] later.

[12:31] First, I want to show you this. It's a

[12:33] letter written in 2012 by my good friend

[12:37] Robert F. Kennedy Jr., RFK Jr.

[12:40] Bobby wrote this letter to Eric Holder,

[12:42] who was then the Attorney General of the

[12:44] United States.

[12:45] In his letter to Mr. Holder, Bobby

[12:47] requests that the federal authorities

[12:49] examine the Pruszynski recording. Say

[12:52] that again, the Pruszynski recording,

[12:54] the only known audio recording made of

[12:57] his father's assassination at the

[12:59] Ambassador Hotel.

[13:01] The recording was uncovered in 2004

[13:05] at the California State Archives by CNN

[13:07] International writer Brad Johnson.

[13:10] So, somehow this recording was basically

[13:13] buried until somebody accidentally

[13:14] discovered it all the way in 2004.

[13:17] The next document is a federal court

[13:19] declaration from audio expert Philip Van

[13:22] Praag,

[13:24] who Johnson recruited to analyze

[13:26] Pruszynski recording.

[13:28] In this document, Van Praag declares

[13:31] that his analysis of the recording

[13:33] concludes that two guns were fired in

[13:35] Robert in the Robert Kennedy shooting.

[13:38] Van Praag found a total of 13 gunshots

[13:42] in the Pruszynski recording.

[13:44] Sirhan's one and only gun at the crime

[13:47] scene held no more than eight bullets,

[13:50] and Sirhan had no opportunity to reload

[13:53] it.

[13:54] Van Praag also found what he describes

[13:56] as double shots, meaning two gunshots

[13:58] fired so close together that they could

[14:00] not have both come from Sirhan's Iver

[14:03] Johnson Cadet revolver.

[14:05] Van Praag actually found two sets of

[14:07] these double shots.

[14:09] Additionally, he found that five of the

[14:11] 13 gunshots featured a unique audio

[14:14] resonance characteristic that could not

[14:16] have been produced by Sirhan's gun

[14:18] model, meaning those five shots were

[14:20] fired from a second gun of a different

[14:22] make.

[14:24] Van Praag further found that those five

[14:26] gunshots were fired in a direction

[14:28] heading away from Pruszynski's

[14:30] microphone.

[14:32] These documents

[14:34] are statements from two witnesses to the

[14:36] Robert Kennedy shooting. Both of them

[14:38] were assistant maitre d's for the

[14:39] Ambassador Hotel.

[14:41] These two men, Karl Uecker and Edward

[14:44] Minasian, escorted Robert Kennedy to the

[14:47] kitchen pantry immediately after the

[14:49] Senator delivered his victory speech in

[14:51] a hotel ballroom for having won the

[14:53] California primary.

[14:54] Both Uecker and Minasian say that Sirhan

[14:57] was in front of Bob Kennedy as the

[14:59] Senator walked towards Sirhan, meaning

[15:01] that Bob and Sirhan were facing each

[15:03] other.

[15:04] Both witnesses say Sirhan was still in

[15:06] front of Bob as Sirhan fired his gun,

[15:09] and both say

[15:10] that after Sirhan fired his first two

[15:13] shots, Uecker quickly pushed Sirhan

[15:15] against a steam table, placing Sirhan in

[15:17] a headlock while grabbing a hold of

[15:19] Sirhan's firing arm, forcing the tip of

[15:21] Sirhan's gun to point away from where

[15:24] Bob Kennedy was, and causing Sirhan to

[15:26] fire blindly his remaining six bullets.

[15:29] In other words, Sirhan only had full

[15:31] control of his gun at the beginning when

[15:33] he fired his first two shots, one of

[15:35] which hit me.

[15:37] The document is the This document is the

[15:40] official Robert Kennedy autopsy report

[15:42] summary. It shows that all bullets

[15:44] directed at Senator Kennedy were fired

[15:46] from behind him at point-blank range.

[15:51] As the autopsy states and as these

[15:52] drawings show, the bullets traveled from

[15:55] the back to the front at steep upward

[15:58] trajectories.

[16:00] One bullet struck Senator Kennedy at the

[16:02] back of the head, two bullets at the

[16:03] right rear armpit, and a fourth bullet

[16:05] at the right rear shoulder of his

[16:06] jacket, which passed harmlessly through

[16:08] his jacket.

[16:10] Again, Sirhan's bullets could not have

[16:12] struck the back of Bob Kennedy's head or

[16:13] the back of his body or the back of his

[16:15] jacket's right shoulder.

[16:17] These are documents from the LAPD, the

[16:20] Los Angeles Police Department, that

[16:22] reveal the LAPD misconduct in the police

[16:25] investigation of the Robert Kennedy

[16:27] murder.

[16:28] They detail evidence that was destroyed

[16:31] while Sirhan's appeal was still pending,

[16:33] as well as a photograph that was

[16:35] acknowledged by the LAPD to be effective

[16:38] rebuttal, but was withheld from the

[16:40] defense team.

[16:41] Indeed, the LAPD and the LA County

[16:44] District Attorney knew 2 hours after the

[16:47] shooting of Senator Kennedy that he was

[16:49] shot by a second gunman, and they had

[16:51] conclusive evidence that Sirhan could

[16:53] not and did not do it.

[16:55] The official record shows the

[16:57] prosecution at Sirhan's trial never had

[16:59] one witness. They had no physical nor

[17:02] ballistic evidence to prove that Sirhan

[17:04] shot Bob Kennedy.

[17:06] Evidence locked up for 20 years shows

[17:08] that the LAPD destroyed physical

[17:10] evidence and hid ballistic evidence

[17:12] exonerating Sirhan,

[17:13] and covered up conclusive evidence that

[17:15] a second gunman fatally wounded Robert

[17:18] Kennedy.

[17:19] This document is a memo written by

[17:22] criminologist Larry Baggett, who

[17:24] investigated the Robert Kennedy shooting

[17:26] for the LAPD. The Baggett memo states

[17:28] that the bullets that hit Senator

[17:29] Kennedy and William Weisel, another

[17:32] shooting victim in the pantry, were not

[17:34] fired from the same gun.

[17:36] Memo also states the bullet that

[17:37] traveled upward through Bob Kennedy's

[17:39] body and into his neck was not fired

[17:41] from Sirhan's revolver.

[17:42] Such a finding would be proof that

[17:45] Sirhan did not shoot Robert Kennedy.

[17:49] He goes on, and he wraps it up by

[17:50] saying, "Again, Sirhan was not

[17:51] originally scheduled for release in

[17:53] 1984, but after intense political

[17:55] pressure, his parole date was rescinded,

[17:57] and he has since been denied 14 times.

[18:00] Again, gentlemen, I believe you should

[18:01] grant Sirhan Sirhan parole, and I ask

[18:04] you to do that today in the name of

[18:05] Robert F. Kennedy and in the name of

[18:07] justice. Thank you. That concludes my

[18:10] remarks."

[18:11] Now, for those of us who are a part of

[18:12] the book club and those of us who have

[18:13] read Chaos, to hear him speak about the

[18:15] corruption of the LAPD, and we have

[18:17] understood that the CIA was involved

[18:19] with the LAPD just by understanding how

[18:22] much the public was lied to about the

[18:23] Manson murders, and knowing that all

[18:25] this was happening at the same time,

[18:26] this book, Charles Manson, the CIA, and

[18:28] the secret history of the '60s, it's

[18:30] insane because all of these pieces are

[18:32] just starting to come together. And then

[18:34] it makes you wonder who would have, if

[18:37] this man is to be be believed, and it's

[18:39] very difficult to believe that a

[18:40] 91-year-old would make all of this up,

[18:42] why what would be his reason? He was

[18:43] literally shot by Sirhan, and is taking

[18:47] a stand and saying that this is

[18:48] ridiculous, and that this has become

[18:50] political, and that there was

[18:51] corruption, and that actually this guy

[18:55] was just supposed to be the person who

[18:56] was blamed. Very similar to what we are

[18:59] learning about the JFK shooting. You get

[19:02] one guy who you're supposed to put the

[19:04] blame on, uh and how did that guy get

[19:07] crazy? Well, I'm going to guess he was

[19:09] probably MK Ultra Sirhan Sirhan, but how

[19:12] perfect the story. Anti-Zionist

[19:14] Palestinian kills beloved Kennedy.

[19:18] Kennedy curse, guys? Nah, I'm thinking

[19:21] more like Operation Every Kennedy,

[19:24] Operation to keep tabs on every member

[19:27] of this important political family

[19:30] always and forever.

[19:32] And one way to do that, if you wanted to

[19:35] keep tabs on every member of this

[19:37] family, would be to render them impotent

[19:41] with drug addiction, sex addictions,

[19:42] fueling their addictions, and keeping

[19:44] tabs on them, uh

[19:47] learning what they're doing while

[19:48] they're high, right? Again, I am pulling

[19:51] this from everything I have learned

[19:52] about the '60s, everything that I have

[19:54] learned while looking at all of these

[19:56] case files pertaining to the Kennedys.

[19:58] And curiously enough, you're not going

[20:00] to believe this, right? Did you know

[20:01] that RFK Jr.

[20:03] Yeah, that RFK Jr., the one running HHS,

[20:06] shortly after his father was murdered in

[20:08] 1968, while the MK Ultra program was in

[20:11] full swing, offering LSD LSD and trying

[20:16] to control people's minds and getting

[20:18] them to do things and commit crimes and

[20:21] sexual acts,

[20:23] well,

[20:24] he very shortly after his father's

[20:26] funeral

[20:28] got offered LSD from strangers.

[20:31] I'm not kidding. He went on to Shawn

[20:32] Ryan's show and he spoke to him about

[20:35] that moment. Take a listen to RFK Jr.

[20:38] speaking about that.

[20:40] I was 15 years old. I never even drank

[20:42] coffee.

[20:44] And [clears throat] um and I went to a

[20:46] that summer

[20:49] the summer after my dad I went to a

[20:52] party for an older brother of a friend

[20:54] of mine. I was hitchhiking home from

[20:56] that party.

[20:58] And an older boy picked me up and um who

[21:01] I knew but not that well.

[21:04] And he offered me some LSD.

[21:07] And I had you know never taken any kind

[21:09] of drug before. I had a trip that was

[21:11] probably 10 hours.

[21:14] And I had a great time.

[21:16] And I ended up going into town and you

[21:19] know just having a great time but in the

[21:21] in the by the morning time I was

[21:23] crashing. I was walking home and and

[21:26] getting darker and darker 3 miles from

[21:29] town back to my house.

[21:32] And just before I got to my house, I saw

[21:34] some older boys in the woods.

[21:37] I went in there to see what they were

[21:38] doing and I told them I was crashing on

[21:40] the acid.

[21:42] And they said, "Here, try some of this."

[21:44] And I had been telling myself, "I'm

[21:45] never going to do this again, right?"

[21:48] >> Mhm.

[21:48] And they said, "Try some of this." It

[21:50] was crystal meth.

[21:52] I took a snort of it and I felt great.

[21:56] And that really that incident was the

[21:58] template for my addiction over the next

[22:00] 14 years.

[22:03] I would love to know what who exactly

[22:06] those families were, who exactly those

[22:08] boys were, who were plying him with

[22:10] drugs. It would just be interesting to

[22:12] know those facts.
