Al Hubbard: An American super-spy and uranium entrepreneur, became the first Johnny Appleseed of LSD, turning on thousands of people, including scientists, politicians, intelligence officials, diplomats, church figures, and housewives. "If you don't think it's amazing," said Hubbard, "just go ahead and try it."
For such a pivotal character in recent history, Al Hubbard is remarkably little known. He is the unsung man who almost single-handedly introduced the world to LSD.
Albert Hoffman invented it, but Al is the one who, in the very early years, gave it away like candy to some of the most influential people on the planet.
"Al had a grandiose idea that if he could give the psychedelic experience to the major executives of the Fortune 500 companies, he would change the whole of society."
As a CIA & NSA agent, Hubbard's secret high-level connections allowed him to expose over 6,000 people to LSD before it was effectively banned in '66. He also hated lazy dirty hippies!! • He shared the Psychedelic experience with a prominent Monsignor of the Catholic Church in North America, • explored the roots of alcoholism on LSD with AA founder Bill Wilson • stormed the pearly gates with Aldous Huxley (in a session that resulted in the psychedelic tome Heaven and Hell), as well as • supplying most of the fashionable Beverly Hills psychiatrists, who, in turn, turned on many Hollywood stars including ... •Cary Grant, James Coburn, Jack Nicholson, novelist Anais Nin and filmmaker Stanley Kubrick.

This "lost interview" between Mondo 2000 Editor-in-Chief R. U. Sirius (Ken Goffman) and Todd Brendan Fahey, author of Wisdom's Maw, marks the beginning of an exhaustive research project on the elusive "Captain" Al Hubbard--the legendary OSS agent-turned-psychedelic messiah, and who turned the CIA, Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley and thousands of others on to LSD.
Fahey has unearthed 24 explosive, original documents on Al Hubbard, placing him at the epicenter of such skunkworks as COINTELPRO, Project MK-Ultra and Operation Artichoke and others. Please forward this interview and the supporting documents at TheMemoryHole.org to your lists and allies.
