This article seeks to go further, into .the maintenance, research and development of drugs and drug . cultures • : , '•• The dings ot the oo.s did not appear overnight, many (if nut most) wtie researched (and some developed even fur^ then by government security agencies. Many Of these,.top secret projects were by small groups within the agencies,so , that not the whole security apparatus knew what was going mi. but slowly the information leaked out. The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) preceded the CIA. Tne C*SS eV tracted a synthetic marijuana drug, in their search for a truth . drug tor interrogation of World War II era spies, but..the • results were inconsistent. The CIA tookover from the OSS alter the war Their first big project was Project Bluebird,, winch changed to Project Artichoke. All drugs, legal and il- legal, and any reported plant with psychoactive properties was investigated. There was the speedball interrogation: a ,. person was injected with a downer then brought back up to an almost awake state by uppers. Cocaine was tested in the SDs, as was heroin. Nazi Germany was miles ahead in syrfc. thetic chemicals and substances due to allied blockades. At : the insistence of morphine addict, Hermann Goering, LG. 1 arben (the huge German chemical cartel) created synthetic morphine now called methadone. Project Paperclip brought . into the I'.S. 000 German scientists. \ ••'•. * \•'. •• At Lexington. Kentucky in the Addiction Research Center d's PUS) the CIA started research 4nto synthetics.. Methadone was tested, and a synthetic codeine was 'needed'.' as the I S. suffered in the last war from a loss of overseas opium for war time medicine. Many new substances were dcveloped.and tested and made their way onto the streets.Of \menca-Operation MK-Ultra was the CIAs biggest testing program, and it is This one that would produce many street drugs for the no's. LSD was a major drive behind MK-Ultra, as these spy-spooks and scientists tested each other; and human guinea pigs. Also tested at this time were: mescaline, MDA, DMT, STP, synthetic mescalines, PCP, amyl nitrate, ritalin. prolixin, darvon, romilar, lomotil, and the most pro-. . mising of all (like the OSS discovered) was a synthetic THC -or the tetrahydrocannibinol base from marijuana. What was . being looked for was a truth drug, or madness gas, pill or. in- jection. • ' • ,;. '•..• The drug that concerns us is PCP, at first developed as arv animal tranquilizer, it was tested and found its way onto the streets. Alternative newspapers around the country issued Warnings tp young people to avoid this drug, but the mainstream press did not touch it for years. In that time its use spread, as it was cheap and could be used in many forms and passed offas other,drugb. Called \angel dust\ it produc- ed violent qualities in large doses, and could burn out chronic users psychologically. Another drug developed from PCP was ketamine, that found a white-collar market as | opposed to the working class and poor people who indulged; in the cheap and available PCP. Ketamine was suitable for further research by the CIA and the Army. 'That was just the start, there are currently in production many new mind and behavior control substances. This has been prodded by the discovery that the brain produces it's Own drugs: dopamine (an amphetamine), serotonin (tran- quilizer), norephinephrine (cocaine-like), dimethyltryp- taniine (hallucinogen). So if the human body and mind can control itself through production of such substances, the researchers feel they can produce synthetics to alter and rnOdify behaviour in humans.. These new drugs are not just viewed as escapist, but as reaj mind control drugs.

Four other charges have been adjourned to October 5th, when Skidders is to be sentenced on the first count. : • 31 other Mohawks are awaiting trial on. 92 other charges under the same NEB Act, and their cases are adjourned until October 5th. . •. . • ;;V. ; Evidence at the trial shows a total of 1,853 barrels Of fuel oil were shipped from Cornwall across the border, worth $65,501 in Canadian. •'.'•/• :;\ - No evidence was introduced that suggested that fuel oil shipments were destined for anywhere beyond the St. Regis Reserve. • . : - The prosecution seems to have based its case on the technical aspect of an exporters license, in that the fuel oil had to cross the border even though it :was destinedfor the \Canadian\ side of the reservation in St. Regis (or Chenaii) Tl^e judge has seemed to rule on this technicality and refused the defense argument about the cultural perspective of the Mohawk Country in that all the Mohawk people yieV their •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••a land asone area, one country, and the borders do not, and have never applied to them. Chief Lawrence Francis testified tip the integrated nature of the reserve in terms of schools, ambulances, fire, police and other services Draper ruled on the technicality, regardless, stating that an oil exporters license had to be obtained to cross the border v:;Some of the prosecutions evidence was questioned when it was revealed that the RCMP violated U.S. airspace In track- ing the fuel shipments. And a customs officer was used in the surveillance and his evidence was questioned as to.whether the documents were routine or extra-rqutirie for? the surveillance and whose property they were, The\^dg£ ind defense also questioned Barry jardine, chief of the r^ped.oil division of NEB as to whether shipments of jjuel ftoia$8iaa<J» travelling the American waters of the Seaway had to h^Ve licenses.

REGIS LAND CLAIMS On August 30th, the Federal District Court in Syracuse heard arguments from all sides concerning the St. Regis land claims, and whether the St. Regis Band Council and the seven individuals named in the Canadian suit against New York State will be allowed to represent all of the people of Council and the Longhouse Council of Chiefs, as well as the State argued against the St. Regis Band Council position, claiming that all the people of Akwesasne would not be equally represented in their suit. The St. Regis Band lawyer argued that no one was pushing the land claims, and that they should be allowed to represent the people of Akwesasne in the land claims. It appeared from the judge's remark, that the court is not inclined to allow the individual Mohawks and the St. Regis Band to represent all of the Akwesasne parties. No ruling was made, at the time, butone is expected this week or next. The American Tribal Council spoke a brief argument as a friend of the court, since the joint effort by the Tribal Coun- cil and the Longhouse has not been entered yet, that both these parties are united in their efforts to work together for the land claims settlement, that they have a co-operative agreement in handling the claims. The Longhouse lawyers also argued the same position of a united effort between the once rival parties, Both parties agreed that they did not wish to bring it to court at this time, and an out of court settle- ment woukLbe the best for all concerned, and only if this position does riot work, would the parties take their land claims suit to court It appears the judge will make a ruling in several days time, that the St. Regis Band and the seven individuals can only represent their Own parties and not represent the other con- cerned parties of Akwesasne. LI) HARRASSMENT AT to^ MOUNTAIN to^ FESTIVAL This year on September 3, 4, and 5th, local craftspeople, artists, singers arid dancers were invited by written invita- tion of Mike Magllque to attend an Indian Festival at Hunter Mountain. Native people from ail over the United States and Canada travelled down to this Catsklll area resort to par- ticipate in this event. . On the third day of the festival two representatives from the Bureau of Taxation showed up and approached the craft- speople requesting each Native person declare their craft sales and payment of all taxes on each item sold. At the beginning of the festival, Mike Maghque told all the people not to pay the taxes, but within moments his whole attitude completely turned around. He called the two representatives to the speakers booth and talked to them for a few minutes and then went back to thri craftspeople and said,' 'play their game, and pay the #aes.\ A few of the craftspeople were in- timidated and had paid before his discussion with the two men, but the fenHtoing people refused to pay, arguing open- ly wi^ Ac wb \V9gi' Shortly thereafter, die two men left.
