In 1951, a quiet, picturesque village in southern France was suddenly and mysteriously struck down with mass insanity and hallucinations. At least five people died, dozens were interned in asylums and hundreds afflicted.
For decades it was assumed that the local bread had been unwittingly poisoned with a psychedelic mould. Now, however, an American investigative journalist has uncovered evidence suggesting the CIA peppered local food with the hallucinogenic drug LSD as part of a mind control experiment at the height of the Cold War.
The mystery of Le Pain Maudit (Cursed Bread) still haunts the inhabitants of Pont-Saint-Esprit, in the Gard, southeast France.
On August 16, 1951, the inhabitants were suddenly racked with frightful hallucinations of terrifying beasts and fire.

I am not even slightly surprised. They pulled the same number on some small towns in the US... and then there were their eugenics experiments.

The CIA is far from a benevolent deity. My dad's on their payroll... 'nuff said.

I'm not surprised because, quite frankly, the list of things the CIA didn't spike with LSD is far lower than the number of things they did.  They went around dosing other CIA agents at random, its not like they're going to have much in the way of qualms about doing it to anyone else.

Ehhh, gonna call bullshit. I'm still inclined to believe that this was ergot poisoning. Not that I think the CIA wouldn't do something like this back in those days, but ergot poisoning seems more likely.

Also, anything from the Telegraph makes me inherently suspicious.

The Telegraph is pretty shit, its true.  Check out their blog section for a laugh, if you haven't already.  Its like a trolling Mecca, in the comments.

Back in 2008 I found a blog post from 2007 quoting The Telegraph about emergency talks between banks. I followed the link but it was dead. After typing in the name of the article, I found - practically intact - the same article applied to current events, and that was around the time of the crash. It's fucking silly what gets recycled.

It's flying in Capitol Grilling, though.  So this is in the win column, as far as I am concerned.
