Peter Stafford Author and Psychedelic Investigator Dies
Peter Stafford (1941-2007) author of Psychedelics Encyclopedia, and LSD in Action died last night in Santa Cruz, California. Peter was a friend of mine since we met in Canada back in 1971 and I will miss him.
Update: As I started to write about Peter, I suddenly remember that I actually had not met Peter in 1971 but rather in 1973 (it was right around the time of the Watergate scandal). I had been invited to Regina, Canada for a presentation at the Northern Institute of Psychotronic Research by Professor Duncan Blewett, sometimes called the "Timothy Leary" of Canada for his transpersonal psychological perspective, which is described in his book, New Realms of Being. It was there that I met one of the heroes of his youth, a genuine East Village, acid-dropping, pot-smoking, book writing then youthful appearing psychedelic writer named Peter Stafford.

Made in America [Video]
You won't believe who is hosting the Web sites of Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations.
The number of Americans killed fighting terrorists and insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan is now 3,628 and counting. But, apparently some U.S. Internet Service Providers don't care enough to look into who some of their clients are and what they are peddling on their U.S.-based Web sites.
