  As journalist Philp Weiss writes: “The girls were all played by men, and every time they appeared – their chunky legs and        flashed buttocks highly visible through tight support hose – the crowd went wild.” Homoeroticism or homosexual                      undertones “suffused this spectacle, as they do much of ritualized life in the Grove.” These ultra-powerful old white men          go naked underneath their kilts: “it’s a guys-only affair, and, historically, there’s always been talk of buggery in the dappled      shadows under the redwoods” buggery is anal intercourse. As one member remarked, when it comes to women, “It’s not          excluding, it’s getting away from.” During the yearly Bohemian Grove mid-July gathering famous gay male porn stars have been hired as “waiters” and “valets,” to serve food and drink and “attend to every need” of the campers. This is what is meant when the summer camp is descried as “The Greatest Men’s Party on Earth” – White men - “merely a playground for the powerful and their entertainers.” There have been credible witness reports of children reported missing being sexually abused and murdered at Bohemian Grove. This Bohemian Grove homosexuality and pedophilia gives greater context to White House homosexuality and pedophilia. One such case of a GOP male homosexual prostitution and pedophile ring connected to Reagan and George H.W. Bush Administration officials and media figures was revealed in 1989 by The Washington Times. Paul M. Rodriquez and George Archibald of The Washington Times revealed that “A homosexual prostitution ring is under investigation by federal and District authorities and includes among its clients key officials of the Reagan and Bush administrations, military officers, congressional aides and U.S. and foreign businessmen with close social ties to Washington’s political elite”. Members of major news organizations procured gay male prostitutes as well. Military and intelligence authorities reportedly were aware of “a nest of homosexuals at high levels of the Reagan administration.” The central figure in this homosexual prostitution ring reportedly was Craig Spence, a conservative lobbyist and political operative during the Reagan-Bush years, whom The New York Times described as “Washington’s ultimate power broker.” We are told that Spence ran a gay prostitution ring which serviced White House officials and employed adolescent boys. He threw “parties” at his D.C. home well attended by the powerful and connected of D.C. and beyond. Children from Boys Town and other orphanages in Nebraska (the Franklin Child Abuse ring from Omaha) as well as from China were reportedly flown to Washington to be exploited and abused by Republican politicians and others at Spence’s parties. Friends were led to believe that Spence carried out homosexual blackmail operations for the CIA. He “often intimated that he worked for the CIA”. According to the Times Spence electronically bugged his dinner parties attended by White House officials, media celebrities and high-ranking military officers to obtain potential blackmail material. Spence had so much clout he was able to organize one o’clock in the morning tours of the Reagan White House for male prostitutes. Ultimately this would be Spence’s undoing. Those male prostitutes that “toured” the White House during booty-call hours belonged to the escort service of the “D.C. Madam” Henry Vinson, who ran the gay escort service patronized by Spence for his elite party guests. Spence reportedly would spend $20k per month on male prostitutes for his White House and other upper echelon patrons. Vinson says among his customers were CIA Director William Casey, Congressman Barney Frank and Donald Gregg, National Security Advisor to Vice President George H. W. Bush (1982–1989) and US Ambassador to South Korea during the Bush Presidency. Vinson, who was slapped with a 43-count RICO indictment and spent five years in prison because of this scandal, claims that these men (Casey, Frank, and Cregg) liked “18-year-old (male) escorts with minimal body hair and a slender swimmer’s physique.” Vinson says, 

                   I ran the largest gay escort service that’s ever been exposed in Washington, D.C. and my ultimate downfall                                                                       was precipitated by the fact that I provided escorts to a CIA asset named Craig spence. He used my escorts 
                      to blackmail politicians and other power brokers and I ultimately became the fall guy for a sprawling  
                      conspiracy whose cover up was engineered at the pinnacle of the Bush one administration. 
                      

Vinson claims that Spence disclosed to him that it was the CIA who bugged his home for audio-visual blackmail. While Vinson served time in prison, Spence himself was "suicided." Later, in 2005, a pal of President George W. Bush who ran a 

gay prostitute service, James D. Guckert (he used the online name Jeff Gannon) was given a White House press pass and access to classified CIA documents. Like father, like son. Connected to this D.C. scandal was also a horrific military-Church of Satan child abuse case based in San Francisco, California but involved fifteen Army-run day cares and elementary schools, including West Point. At the Presidio of San Francisco, headquarters of the Sixth Army, the U.S. Army ran a preschool and day care program. There, at least 60 children were allegedly ritualistically abused sexually in a horrifying manner, being infected with AIDS and other diseases such as Chlamydia. This pedophile operation was  reportedly led by Lt. Col. Michael Aquino, a high-ranking Army officer with security clearance. He is an Aryanist (neo-Nazi) and a Satanist with a “Temple of Set” right behind the Military Intelligence Building at the Presidio. According to victim testimony Aquino dressed as a woman during the ritualized sexual abuse. In 1990 following an investigation for satanic ritual child abuse Aquino was processed out of the Army. The Craig Spence homosexual ring, the Franklin Child Abuse case and cover-up, and the U.S. Army/Lt. Col. Aquino alleged satanic ritual child abuse cases were each and all connected with the Iran-Contra Affair. 

Shulgin’s “Love Drug” and the Revealing of Inner “Monsters” 
In the creation of Shulgin’s new chemicals there was “a special emphasis on the sex-enhancing properties of psychedelics”. This is especially true of his MDMA. Merck first synthesized MDMA in 1912, and the U.S. Army did its own synthesizing during the 1950s and 1960s, with Shulgin’s help. In 1965, Shulgin came up with his own unique synthesis – easier and faster - and his synthesis will dominate the culture moving forward. This is why Shulgin is widely thought of as the “Father of MDMA,” which, of course, is factually wrong. “Shulgin was not the first to synthesize MDMA, but he played an important role in its history.” He can be considered the “Godfather of Ecstasy,” because his MDMA gave birth to the “Ecstasy” culture. In his first report on the human effects of the drug Shulgin and D.E. Nichols noted that MDMA produced “an easily controlled altered state of consciousness with emotional and sensual overtones.” One source of this “sensuality” caused by MDMA is the triggering by the drug of the brain’s release of the “hug hormone” oxytocin. Also relevant is Shulgin’s focus on serotonin,70 an important brain chemical which we discussed in detail in our previous writing. This is what we documented in Understanding The Assault Volume I regarding serotonin:
                    What the UCLA scientists discovered was that serotonin was the “Rosetta Stone” for decoding the mysteries of aggression, violence and also 
                    social hierarchy, among other things. They found that high levels of serotonin were distinctly related to male social dominance and low levels 
                    of serotonin was associated with low social status or subordination… Serotonin is our brain’s key modulator of several physiological processes, 
                    including our primitive drives and emotions. It is the brain’s chemical breaks, our impulse inhibitor (it puts a lid on our impulsive behavior). High 
                    serotonin is required to rein in our basic drives – appetite, sex, aggression, etc. – and keep them from racing out of control. When serotonin is 
                    low, “all the basic drives that it regulates can burst out of control,” because low serotonin results in loss of impulse control. If serotonin is the brain’s 
                    chemical breaks, noradrenalin is the chemical accelerator… Serotonin and noradrenalin are the two “brain buttons” that scientists discovered 
                    they can push and thereby determine a person’s future, “two potent brain chemicals that researchers have successfully manipulated to make 
                    animals more violent or less violent,” in the words of [Chicago Tribune writer Ronald] Kotulak. “[A]ggression can be controlled by manipulating 
                    brain levels of serotonin.” By “twisting the architecture of the brain” scientists  can “push noradrenalin production into overdrive and serotonin into 
                    low gear,” thereby making an individual or group hyper impulsive, hyper-aggressive and violent: “the raging monster was being forced into the open 
                    where scientists could begin to understand and tame it.”

This metaphor of inner aggression as a raging monster that is unleashed by diminishing serotonin and increasing noradrenalin is important for our discussion of Shulgin’s MDMA. His wife and scientific collaborator Ann Shulgin, a therapist, admitted that the purpose for the use of her husband’s MDMA in therapy sessions was to unleash a person’s “dark side,” his “shadow,” or “monster.” This “monster” represents certain aspects of the personal psyche, “inacceptable” inner tendencies and fantasies which are usually suppressed in order to protect the conscious self. The Shulgins aim with their MDMA was to “help” a person release their “monster” and become their inner monster through the ingestion of MDMA. MDMA helps “release the monster” by diminishing brain serotonin and triggering the release of noradrenalin. While it is true that the drug stimulates an initial acute release of serotonin,

                             Studies investigating the long-term effects of MDMA on the serotonergic system in humans and animals have shown 
                             that MDMA can induce a lasting decrease in serotonin and 5-HIAA levels in the brain, a reduction in the activity of tryptophan 
                             hydroxylase, and a reduction in the density of the serotonin transporter. Decreased 5-HT (serotonin) levels have been 
                             associated with mood disorders, increased levels of impulsivity, hostility and aggression. Ecstasy’s damaging effects on the
                             serotonergic system thus can lead to heightened impulsivity, hostility and aggression.

In 1994 conclusive evidence of MDMA neurotoxicity in humans was reported. In controlled trials, McCann et al. found that the spinal fluid of test subjects exposed to MDMA had significantly lower 5-HIAA, the major serotonin metabolite, than did controls. This indicates MDMA diminishes serotonin.
This image shows sections taken from the neocortex of monkeys that were given MDMA twice a day for 4 days and control
monkeys that were given saline. The section on the left, taken from the brain of a control monkey, shows the presence of a lot of
serotonin. The middle section shows a section from a monkey two weeks after receiving MDMA. Most of the serotonin is gone. The section on the right shows a monkey seven years after receiving MDMA. There has been some recovery of serotonin, but the brain still has not returned to normal.


The cumulative effect of long-term MDMA use is

- Depletion of serotonin
- Induction of the release of noradrenalin and the inhibiting of its uptake
- Increase in plasma cortisol
                                                                                                 - Triggering of release of oxytocin (the “cuddle hormone”)
                                                                                                 - Lowering of sexual inhibition
                                                                                                 - Suppression of serum testosterone

We have demonstrated that diminished brain serotonin and increased noradrenalin can lead to not only hypersexuality but also homosexuality. MDMA’s increased stimulation of the “cuddle hormone” oxytocin also enhances homosexual inclinations. As IFL Science reported in 2015:

                                   The basis for homosexual behavior has frequently—and often hotly- been debated. Is it nature? Nurture? A combination of both? 
                                   Researchers from the Universidad Veracruzana, Mexico, have thrown their hat into the ring. They have been able to show that 
                                   conditioned homosexual preference in male rats can be induced by oxytocin and the psychoactive drug quinpirole… When sexually
                                   naive male rats were exposed to either 
the hormone oxytocin and/or quinpirole, and then made to cohabit with other sexually active
                                   males, they 
developed a social preference for the other males, even when the drugs were no longer present in their system. Interestingly,
                                   their preference wasn’t just limited to that 
social situation. When given a choice days later between a male and a sexually receptive
                                   female, the treated rats 
displayed sexual preference not for the females, but again for the males… the study does suggest that it is
                                   possible for apparently heterosexual male rats to develop a conditioned homosexual social and 
sexual leaning, given the right conditions.

This, therefore is the scientific basis of MDMA’s connection to homosexuality .  .  .  .
