Bloomsbury is a district of London where a small collective of, some would describe as, notorious individuals, were active during the early 20th century in the fields of art, literature, as well as economics and social theory. Their notoriety stems, partly, from their free-thinking lifestyle that’s deemed to have been a head-on challenge against the strict values and taboos of Victorian-era England into which they were born.

This collective is referred to as ‘The Bloomsbury Group,’ and included within its fold was the famous novelist, Virginia Woolf. To quote from one source (the charity, ‘English Heritage,’ which is responsible for taking care of ancient and historic buildings, monuments and sites including Stonehenge, Hadrian’s Wall, and the Cenotaph in London), there was a “refusal” on the part of “The Bloomsbury Group… to conform to the moral standards of society…” Also, they’ve been described as having lived a life of “sexual permissiveness.” These descriptions read like a word-for-word portrayal of what’s said to have gone down in the ‘swinging,’ free-loving 1960s, right?

I have wondered... just how closely aligned were (if at all) The Bloomsburys and their philosophies and lifestyle to the 1960s, and, more to the point, that decade’s alleged social-engineering project, the so-called ‘counter-culture’ of the UK, and of London in particular? In this audio representation which was recorded and first released in 2023, I talk about this with private investigator and radio-host, Ed Opperman for his show, 'The Opperman Report.'

Hosted by Mark Devlin, an author, DJ and speaker on matters pertaining to the occult and conspiratorial in music, this chat has been part of a one-off series special in Mark’s long-running ‘Good Vibrations’ podcasts - myself (Matt Sergiou) and fellow podcasters Chris and Dom of the site ‘Sheep Farm’ have been the guests.

In this final episode, a lot of the focus is on MDMA, otherwise known as ‘ecstasy,’ the drug that came to prominence at dance events and the early-day Raves of the late 1980s. Was it seeped into the Acid House culture by the intelligence services/military, same as LSD is suspected to have been back in the 1960s? With this in mind, during episode four, I mention Leo Zeff, a psychiatrist who’s been dubbed the “Johnny Appleseed of MDMA” for helping to spread the drug’s use across the world in the early 1980s, back when it was still largely unknown to the masses. Then there’s the so-called ‘Boston Group,’ a collective of individuals with connections to M.I.T., who helped to introduce the drug to the dancefloors of New York, allegedly as part of a “social experiment.” This leads me on to mention signs of MDMA’s use within MK ULTRA.
Mentioned also during this concluding episode, Timothy Leary and his connection to both so-called ‘Summers of Love,’ The Beatles, New Order and Soft Cell, rumoured MK ULTRA psychiatrist Dr Henry A. Murray, and more.

In this four-episode podcast special, myself (Matt Sergiou) and fellow podcasters and researchers Chris and Dom of 'Sheepfarm' are the guests, joining Mark to discuss the so-called 'second summer of love' of 1988 and '89, this was when the UK was gripped by a new musical movement: Acid House. Was it a socially-engineered movement same as its predecessor in the 1960s - after all, there are a large number of parallels between the two. This is mentioned and discussed in this episode (as it is in all the episodes) as is the not-so-very-well-known history of the twin DJ double-decks, an absolutely essential musical instrument for any Acid House party of the late 1980s. Dom also brings our attention to some of DJ Pete Tong's - you might say - rather questionable corporate connections, and we also talk about the dark and grisly history of the smiley face, which was the mascot of the Acid House movement, and then there's some of those Acid House party and Rave flyers that you'd get handed to you back in the day... They're steeped in occult and Masonic symbolism. Yes, all this is discussed plus much more.

"The counter-culture scene of the 1960s, sponsored by those nice folks in Langley, Virginia, is a much-told story of recent years. The dubious background detail of the Human Be-In, LSD, Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey, Stewart Brand, the Grateful Dead, the birth of Feminism, Jim Morrison and his dad and many other aspects of this scene, have been pored over by many researchers.

A story far less told, however, concerns what was playing out on the other side of the Atlantic during these very same times. London had a counter-culture scene all of its own. It was less steeped in psychedelic Rock than in the avant-garde art scene, along with the Carnaby Street / ‘Swinging Sixties’ fad that helped to usher it all in. The fingerprints of the social engineers were present every step of the way.

Today’s guest is Matt Sergiou, proprietor of the Conspiro Media and Occult Beatles blog sites. He returns to walk us through some of his extensive research into this London scene, to which The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were intrinsically connected. In particular, we dissect one of Matt’s mammoth articles anchored around the notorious Christine Keeler/ Profumo scandal of 1963, to which the Beatles have some curious links. Along the way the chat encompasses, (among many others,) the Kray Twins, Jimmy Savile, Joe Meek, Jimmy Page, Syd Barrett, Jane and Peter Asher, the Tavistock Institute and Cambridge University.
