In his song “Candy Says” Velvet Underground singer Lou Reed crooned sweetly about a bluebird flying over his shoulder. Had he sung about a blue avian flying over his shoulder I wouldn’t have been more surprised than I was yesterday when I was looking at Dark Journalist’s flogging of Corey Goode. I’d never heard of Goode before and have only recently been informed of his egregiousness by the aforesaid Daniel Liszt. However, I have heard of Bluebird before.
From Google: “Project ARTICHOKE (also referred to as Operation ARTICHOKE) was a CIA project that researched interrogation methods and arose from Project BLUEBIRD on August 20, 1951, run by the CIA’s Office of Scientific Intelligence.”
From Google: “Lee Harvey Oswald-Military Career
Oswald was first assigned to Yokosuka, Japan, near Tokyo, to work as a radar operator. His job was to direct aircraft to their targets by radar and radio communication. He was also responsible for scouting for incoming foreign aircraft. Oswald was considered a loner and did not get along well with his fellow Marines. He also had trouble with military authority and was court-martialed twice. In the first incident Oswald purchased a .22-caliber handgun and wounded himself in the left arm while playing with the gun. He was charged with having an unregistered weapon and demoted from private first class to private, as well as fined $50 and sentenced to 20 days hard labor. The second incident occurred a few months later when he used profanity in an argument with an off-duty technical sergeant. Oswald was drinking at the Bluebird Cafe in Yamato and he accidentally spilled a drink on the sergeant. This led to an altercation during which Oswald insulted the superior officer. For this second infraction he was fined $55 and sentenced to 28 days in military prison. Oswald ended his military career three months early by applying for a hardship discharge to care for his mother.”
From Google: The Blue Bird (French: L’Oiseau bleu) is a 1908 play by Belgian playwright and poet Maurice Maeterlinck. It premiered on 30 September 1908 at Konstantin Stanislavski’s Moscow Art Theatre, and was presented on Broadway in 1910. The play has been adapted for several films and a TV series. The French composer Albert Wolff wrote an opera (first performed at the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1919) based on Maeterlinck’s original play, and Maeterlinck’s innamorata Georgette Leblanc produced a novelization.”
All this examined in Levenda’s ‘Sinister Forces” trilogy. Levenda makes the point that Maeterlinck’s play is an allegory about the malleability of memory, and, examines the curious “assassination” scene in the play which seems to prefigure what occurred in Dealey Plaza almost sixty years later.Coincidence or what ?

Hi Baz,
Could be a coincidence. I confess Ive never considered Lou Reed to have any deeper knowledge than his addictions allowed. Candy and Bluebirds are both drug references, but perhaps there’s more to the story?
Lou Reed and The Velvets came out “the Canyon” quoting the late Dave Mc Gowan ..
After reading his book .. it seems ALL of ‘this’ crew (from The Eagles to Joni Mitchell ..The Doors to Frank Zappa) .. were connected in some way .. A closer look at their album covers reveals a darker picture .. And suddenly we discover that Admiral Byrd’s cousin .. D.H.Byre .. owned the Texas Book Depot .. “Sinister Forces” indeed .. EVERYTHING is connected if you look close enough .. Bluebird was ripe for the picking .. A blue birdlike alien comes to save us .. The bluebird of happiness .. Coincident !!?? .. The ‘hidden hand’ quietly weaving .. Good catch Baz ..
Thanks for the reminder to read Dave Mc Gowan’s book, Freefall. I hold no illusions as to the manipulation of the american ‘counter culture’ but because Ive not been drawn to the NYC specific scene, indeed it’s always given me the creeps (Warhol, L Reed, et al), Ive perhaps dismissed their deeper entanglements.
Mind manipulation in the modern sense was going on by the early 20th century as your mention of esotericist Maurice Maeterlinck suggests. The mythical song from the 1939 Wizard of Oz, “Somewhere over the Rainbow”, talks about bluebirds. Then in 1941 came “There’ll be Blue Birds Over the White Cliffs of Dover”, by Walter Kent to lyrics by Nat Burton. This was one of the most famous songs of World War II. Both songs have a slow, lilting melody inducing a sense of nostalgia in the listener.
Afraid that Corey – though etymologically suggesting Koré (maiden in Greek) – is NO match for Judy Garland 🙂
Indeed. Reed’s lilting homage to Factory Superstar Candy Darling ends with the plaintive refrain ‘What do you think I’d see if I could walk away from me?” Disassociative for sure.
Hey Baz – isnt it funny that the Bluebird was the project for Truth Serum.. (Ve haf vays und means to make you TAHK!)
and now.. we’re getting the ‘truthful’ disclosure from Corey Goode about the Space Blue Birds…
Honestly.. I started with a ‘I dont think that Reed was associated with the CIA for mind control… but I’ve stop assuming about anything at all in this crazy world..
Here..
Led Zeppelin was involved in occultism, Page was interested in the Qaballah since he was 11, he colloborated with David Bowie (what do you think of Quicksand’s lyrics?? (Ill let you go goggle it if you want haha)
Nah Baz, I’m pretty sure that the MK barbies didnt get injected into the music industry before the 90’s..so it wasnt so much about MK’s influence for mass mind control that permeated the music industry…
You do know what permeated (and still does today) the music and film industry though dont you.. That religion dedicated to Superstars, that doesnt condone you for your sexual preferences, and in the words of Bowie himself.. “potential of a Superman” 😉
Thelema and occultism rules the ‘winks of the eye’ and telltale references. The CIA didnt get invited to those parties.. Too square man!!
The CIA just had to make do with full on satanism instead..

(in a hushed voice.. I dont think for an instant that its something new…)
I wonder if I were to cook up my own crazy cult would I choose such an obvious trope ? If I chose a cognate symbol, for example, Cygnus, would the sheer novelty mask my intent to a degree that I could weave a tale and be somewhat certain that it was more mysterious and therefore more credible ? What’s the point of making a deception that overtly ticks all the conspiracy boxes ? And what begs thee question here is why bird symbolism is still potent. Is the plan to make us internalize theriomorphism/chymerism by stealth even if its presentation is so obviously lame ? The weird sophistry of “satanism” doesn’t explain much in this instance.
Build up mysterious occluded metaphysics about tardigrades and see who takes the bait!
