| 0:00.0 | I think it's just going to get weirder and weirder and weirder. |
| 0:05.4 | And finally, it's going to be so weird that people are going to have to talk about how weird it is. |
| 0:12.2 | Welcome back to Forbidden Knowledge News. |
| 0:14.5 | I'm your host, Chris Matthew. |
| 0:16.1 | Today, my guest is John O'Connor. |
| 0:18.0 | I've got great upcoming guests like Brown Al Landrum, Paranoid American, |
| 0:22.4 | and Charles Ross, be on the lookout for those. Check out my films. A Cullet, Louisiana is available |
| 0:28.1 | on Tooby. Doors of Perception is on Amazon Prime. I'm booking guests for June. If you have |
| 0:34.8 | suggestions or you'd like to be a guest, email me Forbidden Knowledge News at |

| 1:20.2 | listeners of this show, they know about my psychedelic magic mushroom journey, which had its ups |
| 1:26.2 | and downs, but ultimately led me to a very favorable |
| 1:29.4 | situation. Looking back, I'm really glad that I did it, but I no longer used psychedelics. As McKenna |
| 1:36.7 | said, I got the message and I hung up the phone, but I definitely see a dark side to the current |
| 1:43.1 | movement. Psychedelics were a huge part of MK Ultra mind control experiments, |
| 1:48.5 | and I can definitely see how it can have negative effects on certain people. |
