The Second Summer of Love Roundtable | Good Vibrations

The Second Summer of Love Roundtable – July 2023 | Good Vibrations

Good Vibrations has exposed many social engineering psy-ops in its time, but this is one that hits very close to home for Mark Devlin and his guests, as they were all personally caught up in it.

Guesting on this Roundtable discussion are Dom and Chris of Sheep Farm Studios, and Matt Sergiou of the Occult Beatles and Conspiro Media sites. 

We're on the 35th anniversary of the fabled ‘second Summer of Love', which was the mainstream's own term for the emerging Acid House/ Rave scene of 1988. 

Episode 1

In the first of four episodes which ask questions that few, if any other researchers ever have, we examine the alarming parallels between this scene and the 1960s hippie/ ‘counter culture' scene of 21 years previous. From the music, to the drugs, to some of the personnel and agencies involved, there is reason to suspect that the late 80s scene represented a military-grade re-boot and re-packaging of what had been done before, aimed at a new generation on the opposite side of the Atlantic.

Episode 2

In the second of four episodes which ask questions that few, if any other researchers ever have, we examine the alarming parallels between this scene and the 1960s hippie/ ‘counter culture' movement of 21 years previous. 

Under discussion this time are the drugs, the suspect Military Intelligence Complex connections of many of the key players, the changing nature of the sounds, and the sinister side of the iconic smiley yellow face.

Episode 3

In the third of four episodes which ask questions that few, if any other researchers ever have, we examine the alarming parallels between this scene and the 1960s hippie/ ‘counter culture' movement of 21 years previous. 

Under discussion this time are: 

Tony Colston Hayter and the Sunrise raves; the dubious background of his PR man Paul Staines; the Sun both “exposing” and endorsing “evil” Acid House … in the same edition!; the similarity between LSD being “exposed” by the media in the 60s and Ecstasy in the 80s; James Palumbo and the Ministry of Sound; the Leah Betts affair; the Rettenden murders; Channel 4's live ecstasy experiment; Carl Cox's vaccine endorsement; Fatboy Slim; David Guetta; worrying aspects of Paul van Dyk, and much more.

Episode 4

The fourth and final episode in this series, taking an entirely new approach to the fabled ‘second Summer of Love', the mainstream's own term for the emerging Acid House/ Rave scene of 1988. 

Guesting on this Roundtable discussion are Dom and Chris of Sheep Farm Studios, and Matt Sergiou of the Occult Beatles and Conspiro Media sites. Between us we ask questions that few, if any other researchers ever publicly have in 35 years.

Under discussion this time are … MDMA and LSD, Leo Zeff, Alexander Shulgin, George Merck, Dr. Henry A Murray, M.I.T., the Boston Group, the Unabomber, Timothy Leary, the Castalia Foundation, the Hacienda, Tony Wilson, New Order, Guy Debord, King Mob, Afrika Bambaataa, the Paradise Garage, Soft Cell, and a whole lot more.
