In Episode #60, we dive into one of the most brutal and decisive phases of World War II. What made the Battle of Stalingrad a nightmare for Hitler? How did the desert warfare in North Africa shape the fate of the war? And what was Operation Torch—and why was it a game-changer? From the fierce house-to-house fighting on the Eastern Front to Rommel's tactical genius in the sands of Libya, and the Allied landings in Morocco and Algeria, this episode unravels the battles that marked the beginning of the end for the Axis powers.Reference Material:The Second World War by John Keegan - https://www.amazon.com/Second-World-W...Hitler's Table Talk by Heinrich Heim - https://www.amazon.com/dp/191564514X?...The Second World War by Antony Beevor - https://a.co/d/buiOkUXInferno: The World at War by Max Hastings - https://www.amazon.com/Inferno-World-...The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War by Andrew Roberts - https://a.co/d/eiI4n3ZWorld War II: The Definitive Visual History by DK & Smithsonian Institution - https://a.co/d/eUNHC1xThe Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy by Adam Tooze - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RF19SJD?...The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by William L.

Was bedeutet es für die Weltpolitik, wenn Menschen in höchsten Positionen zu chemischen Helfern greifen, um durchzuhalten – sei es auf dem Schlachtfeld, in der Politik oder in der Wirtschaft? Gibt es ein Recht auf Rausch für alle? Können Drogen überhaupt neutral sein? Thilo spricht in dieser Folge mit Norman Ohler. Er ist Autor des internationalen Bestsellers „Der totale Rausch“, in dem er sich mit dem Einsatz von Substanzen zur Leistungssteigerung bei den Nazis beschäftigt. Gemeinsam gehen Thilo und Norman der Frage nach, wie Drogen die Gesellschaft und Geschichte geprägt haben – von den Experimenten der Nazis mit Pervitin bis hin zu Elon Musks kontroverser Nutzung von Ketamin. Norman und Thilo diskutieren über Drogen als Werkzeuge für „Supermenschen“ in einer Welt, die von Technologie und Innovation getrieben wird. Doch es geht um mehr als Drogen: Sie sprechen über Literatur, über den Einfluss von „Der Zauberberg“, über die Frage, ob das Feuilleton Ohler unterschätzt, und über sein nächstes Buchprojekt, das die Menschheitsgeschichte in einem völlig neuen Licht zeigen soll. Ein Gespräch über Kontrolle und Kontrollverlust, über Geschichtsschreibung und persönliche Erfahrungen – und über die Frage, ob wir uns gerade in einem gesellschaftlichen Come-Up befinden. ___ Hast du Fragen, Feedback oder Anmerkungen?

Po sérii dílů literárního podcastu TL;DR o českých prózách přišel čas na time-out a tedy non fikci. Sáhli jsme po novince německého novináře a autora veleúspěšné a šokující knihy o drogách ve třetí říši Totální rauš. Novinka Na tripu: Nacisté, CIA a úsvit psychedelického věku mapuje o něco známější historii LSD a také magických hub a psilocybinu. Ohler napsal opět velmi čtivou knihu, v níž popisuje souvislosti, které budou dost možná nové i pro zasvěcenější psychonauty. Kromě filmových a literárních tipů také zmiňujeme další případ pokusu o rozklad kulturní instituce na Slovensku. Tentokrát jde o Slovenské literární centrum a jeho nového ředitele Gustáva Murína, aktuálně jednu z tváří slovenské dezinfoscény, která se ocitla ve vedení kulturní instituce. DemoláCIA našej demokracie – od Havla po Šimečku je pak jedna z jeho novějších knih, jíž se v podcastu podivujeme. Zatímco Murín je přesvědčen, že demokratické politiky uměle vyrábí americká zpravodajská služba CIA, Ohler pro změnu popisuje jednu z možných motivací atentátu na prezidenta J. F. Kennedyho – a obecně tažení CIA proti psychedelikám a zároveň jejích pokusů o ovlivňování politické situace v některých zemích, a to kupodivu s pomocí LSD. V podcastu jsme se tak bezděčně dostali na hranici infa a dezinfa, což našim posluchačům s dobrou pamětí mohlo připomenout díl o Doppelgangerovi Naomi Klein. Právě Klein v této knize, jejíž překlad pod názvem Dvojnice zanedlouho vyjde v Alarmu, popisuje letitou praxi zatajování a překrucování informací ze strany oficiální politiky i byznysu jako určité know-how, které antisystémové struktury jen převzaly a rozvinuly – cynik by řekl do absurdní dokonalosti. https://donio.cz/podporte-ceske-vydani-knihy-naomi-klein

The cultural attitudes towards drugs differ between Germany and the US, with Germany being more conservative and less informed about psychedelics. LSD was initially developed as a medicine by a Swiss pharmaceutical company, and its potential therapeutic uses are still being explored. The CIA's involvement with LSD was driven by the fear of its use as a truth serum and the desire to manipulate individuals. Accessing archives and original sources is crucial for accurate historical research, but it can be challenging to find specific information. LSD was discovered by Albert Hoffman and initially developed by the pharmaceutical company Sandoz as a potential stimulant for the mind. The discovery of LSD led to research on its potential therapeutic benefits, including its use in treating depression and other mental health conditions. The political and societal climate of the time, including Nazi Germany and the Cold War, influenced the perception and regulation of LSD. There is a need for more research and understanding of psychedelics, including their potential benefits and risks, in order to make informed decisions about their use. Set and setting, as well as responsible use, are important factors to consider when taking psychedelics.

In this episode, Joe interviews Norman Ohler: award-winning novelist, screenwriter, and journalist. Following in the footsteps of Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich, his newest book, Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age, tells the story of how the Nazi's passion for methamphetamine turned into a curiosity about LSD, and how their experiments with trying to harness LSD as a truth drug eventually led to the CIA continuing their research under their MKUltra program. The book came about from trying to understand why LSD never became medicine – a question posed by his father, when discussing how LSD could help with his wife's progressing Alzheimer's symptoms. He discusses: His path to becoming a “gonzo historian” and how his early psychedelic research was inspired by a friend's discovery of methamphetamine tablets from the 40s Henry Beecher's LSD experiments with students at Harvard, and how researchers often didn't know they were contributing to MKUltra His recent appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience and Jesse Watters Primetime His mother's experience with microdosing LSD and why police showed up at his father's door with a warrant Why he believes psychedelics will be legalized in the U.S. in the next 10 years and more!  For links, head to the show notes page.

Norman Ohler's latest work, "Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age," delves into the shadowy history of LSD, tracing its origins from the laboratories of Nazi Germany to its pivotal role in shaping U.S. drug policy through the CIA's MKUltra program. This book explores how the Nazis' initial interest in psychedelics for mind control evolved into a tool for psychological warfare, eventually influencing America's stance on psychedelic drugs during the Cold War. Ohler's meticulous research uncovers the hidden connections between these historical adversaries, revealing how the quest for a 'truth serum' and mind control techniques not only delayed therapeutic psychedelic research but also laid foundational elements for the War on Drugs. "Tripped" continues Ohler's theme of examining history through the lens of substance use, offering a provocative narrative that challenges conventional historical narratives and highlights the profound impact of drug policy on societal development.   Norman's Books: https://www.normanohler.de/books_overview_en   Work With Me: Mineral Balancing HTMA Consultation: https://www.integrativethoughts.com/category/all-products  My Instagram: @integrativematt My Website: Integrativethoughts.com   Advertisements:   Viva Rays: Use Code ITP for a Discount https://vivarays.com/   Zeolite Labs Zeocharge: Use Code ITP for 10% off https://www.zeolitelabs.com/product-page/zeocharge?ref=ITP Magnesium Breakthrough: Use Code integrativethoughts10 for 10% OFF https://bioptimizers.com/shop/products/magnesium-breakthrough Just Thrive: Use Code ITP15 for 15% off https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/ITP15 Therasage: Use Code Coffman10 for 10% off https://www.therasage.com/discount/COFFMAN10?rfsn=6763480.4aed7f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6763480.4aed7f   Chapters: 00:00 Personal Connections to Flint and the Water Crisis 08:17 The History of Pharmaceuticals and LSD 19:58 The Negative Impact of the War on Drugs 27:19 The Potential Benefits of Microdosing LSD 29:32 The CIA's Experimentation with LSD 32:55 LSD's Spread in the Cultural Scene 36:49 The Illegal Market and Availability of LSD 41:48 LSD's Potential in Treating Neurodegenerative Diseases 47:17 The FDA and the Hindrance to Progress 50:13 The Erosion of Democracy and the Need for a Psychedelic Revolution   Takeaways: The conversation touches on personal connections to Flint, Michigan, and the impact of the Flint water crisis. They discuss the history of pharmaceuticals and the early research on LSD, including its origins in Nazi Germany and its use by the American military and intelligence agencies. The negative consequences of the war on drugs and the need for a more responsible approach to substances are highlighted. The potential benefits of microdosing LSD and its effects on mental health are explored. LSD was explored by the CIA as a potential truth serum and mind-control tool, but it did not meet their expectations. LSD can provide therapeutic benefits when used in a controlled and supportive environment, allowing individuals to gain insights into themselves and the world around them. The CIA's involvement with LSD led to its spread in the cultural scene, particularly during the 1960s and 70s, where it became associated with the anti-war movement. The American government made LSD illegal due to its popularity and perceived threat to their war plans, but illegal LSD chemists continued to supply the substance. LSD has shown promise in reducing neuroinflammation and enhancing neuroplasticity, making it a potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. The rejection of psychedelic medicines by regulatory bodies like the FDA is seen as a hindrance to progress and a reflection of the influence of pharmaceutical companies. The erosion of democracy and the current political climate are seen as obstacles to the psychedelic revolution that could lead to positive societal change.   Keywords: Flint, Michigan, water crisis, pharmaceuticals, LSD, Nazi Germany, CIA, mind control, microdosing, LSD, CIA, truth serum, mind control, therapeutic benefits, insights, cultural scene, anti-war movement, illegal, neuroinflammation, neuroplasticity, neurodegenerative diseases, FDA, pharmaceutical companies, democracy, political climate, societal change

LSD has been banned in the United States for decades and became a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance in 1970, but it has experienced a resurgence among Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to overcome mental roadblocks and psychiatrists running tests to use it as a treatment for addiction, PTSD, and other mental illnesses. But what few know is that LSD has its origins in Nazi Germany.The drug was developed in Switzerland in 1943 and quickly acquired and militarized by the Third Reich. The Nazis coopted LSD for their mind control military research—research that the US was desperate to acquire. This research birthed MKUltra, the CIA's notorious brainwashing and psychological torture program during the 1950s and 1960s.Today's guest is Norman Ohler, author of “Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age.” We discuss:·    How the history of LSD is interwoven with that of the Cold War and its arms race, and how the US government's introduction to LSD through Nazi research influenced much of the federal government's early attitudes around it·    How, in addition to LSD's militarized misconception from the Nazis, there were other areasof US drug policy influenced by the Third Reich for over half a century·    How psychedelic research was marginalized and stigmatized for so long by prohibition and the War on Drugs, and how high the hurdles remain today for approval of psychedelic medicine, despite the opportunities—rather than dangers—they represent

As Ohler reveals, "When most people think of LSD, they don't think of the Nazis, and yet that unseen hand played a role in framing our laws around this class of drug and in limiting our ability to use psychedelics for medical research." In fact, Ohler was inspired to explore this topic as a result of his own mother's medical condition. His father wanted to know why he couldn't just get LSD at the pharmacy for his wife if it was supposed to help treat her Alzheimer's disease. It was this question-why can't patients in need of psychedelic therapy access it?-that launched Ohler on his investigation for TRIPPED. Unlike cannabis which is on the precipice of global legalization, psychedelic substances containing promising healing potential are still bound up with taboos.

Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age by Norman Ohler https://amzn.to/3PWxLlE The author of the New York Times bestseller Blitzed returns with a provocative new history of drugs and postwar America, examining the untold story of how Nazi experiments into psychedelics covertly influenced CIA research and secretly shaped the War on Drugs. Berlin 1945. Following the fall of the Third Reich, drug use—long kept under control by the Nazis' strict anti-drug laws—is rampant throughout the city. Split into four sectors, Berlin's drug policies are being enforced under the individual jurisdictions of each allied power—the Soviet Union, Britain, France, and the US. In the American zone, Arthur J. Giuliani of the nascent Federal Bureau of Narcotics is tasked with learning about the Nazis' anti-drug laws and bringing home anything that might prove “useful” to the United States. Five years later, Harvard professor Dr. Henry Beecher began work with the US government to uncover the research behind the Nazis psychedelics program. Begun as an attempt to find a “truth serum” and experiment with mind control, the Nazi study initially involved mescaline, but quickly expanded to include LSD. Originally created for medical purposes by Swiss pharmaceutical Sandoz, the Nazis coopted the drug for their mind control military research—research that, following the war, the US was desperate to acquire. This research birthed MKUltra, the CIA's notorious brainwashing and psychological torture program during the 1950s and 1960s, and ultimately shaped US drug policy regarding psychedelics for over half a century. Based on extensive archival research on both sides of the Atlantic, Tripped is a wild, unconventional postwar history, a spiritual sequel to Norman Ohler's New York Times bestseller Blitzed. Revealing the close relationship and hidden connections between the Nazis and the early days of drugs in America, Ohler shares how this secret history held back therapeutic research of psychedelic drugs for decades and eventually became part of the foundation of America's War on Drugs.About the author Norman Ohler is an award-winning German novelist, screenwriter, and journalist. He spent five years researching Blitzed in numerous archives in Germany and the United States, and spoke to eye-witnesses, military historians, and doctors. He is also the author of the novels Die Quotenmaschine (the world's first hypertext novel), Mitte and Stadt des Goldes (translated into English as Ponte City). He was co-writer of the script for Wim Wenders' film Palermo Shooting.

In TRIPPED, his intriguing new history of drugs and postwar America, the German writer Norman Ohler makes LSD both a symbol and a metaphor for the history of the Cold War. Linking Nazi Germany, the CIA with what he calls “the dawn” of the psychedelic age, Ohler presents LSD — the revolutionary psychedelic drug invented by the Swiss pharma giant Sandoz which the Nazi tested as a “truth serum” in Dachau — as a weapon used by the American military-industrial complex to fight the Soviets. As with most anti Soviet CIA plots, of course, it was a bit of a farce - although Ohler's thesis certainly offers an alternative way of interpreting trippy Cold War movies like Doctor Strangelove and The Manchurian Candidate. And Ohler reminds us of the psychedelic age's most lasting legacy - its influence on West Coast countercultural figures like Ken Kesey, Stewart Brand and Steve Jobs and their invention of the personal computer and internet.Norman Ohler is an award-winning novelist, screenwriter, and journalist. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Blitzed, the non-fiction book The Bohemians about resistance against Hitler in Berlin, as well as the novels Die Quotenmaschine (the world's first hypertext novel), Mitte, Stadt des Goldes (translated into English as Ponte City), as well as the historical crime novel Die Gleichung des Lebens. He was cowriter of the script for Wim Wenders's film Palermo Shooting.

LSD in winzigen Dosen soll im Alltag glücklicher und kreativer machen, das verspricht der Trend des sog. Microdosing aus dem Silicon Valley. Psychoaktive Substanzen erleben gerade eine Renaissance. Australien erlaubt als erstes Land den Einsatz von Psilocybin, dem Stoff aus sog. Zauberpilzen, zur Behandlung von Depressionen. Und ein Berliner Startup verkauft dank einer Gesetzeslücke quasi legal LSD-Trips. Was ist dran an der "Wunderdroge" LSD? Der 1943 von dem Schweizer Chemiker Albert Hofmann zufällig entdeckte Stoff ist bis heute höchst umstritten. In den 60ern wollten die Hippies mit LSD ihr Bewusstsein erweitern, Musiker von John Lennon bis David Bowie ließen sich von psychedelischen Erfahrungen inspirieren. Kritiker verurteilten LSD schon früh als hochgefährliche Droge und heute der Stoff fast weltweit verboten. Doch das Interesse der Forschung an LSD reißt nicht ab. Mediziner sehen in psychoaktiven Substanzen große Chancen für neue Behandlungsmöglichkeiten, etwa in der Psychotherapie. Wo liegen die Chancen, wo lauern Gefahren? Darüber sprechen wir mit Anne Philippi, "Botschafterin" für Psychedelika, Prof. Franz Xaver Vollenweider, Psychiater und langjähriger LSD-Forscher an der Uni Zürich, sowie mit Norman Ohler, Autor des Sachbuchs "Der stärkste Stoff: Psychedelische Drogen - Waffe, Rauschmittel, Medikament." Podcast-Tipp: Was geht - was bleibt? Zeitgeist. Debatten. Kultur. Pilze, LSD und ihre bunten Versprechen: Wohin führt uns der Hype um psychedelische Substanzen? Im SWR Kultur-Podcast „Was geht - was bleibt?“ gehen Philine, Kristine, Pia und Christian diesem Thema auf den Grund. Sie recherchieren, sprechen mit Experten und fragen sich am Ende: Was bleibt uns erhalten von den Diskussionen, um die sich gerade alles dreht? Der Podcast behandelt viele weitere spannende Themen. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/was-geht-was-bleibt-zeitgeist-debatten-kultur/pilze-lsd-und-ihre-bunten-versprechen-wohin-fuehrt-uns-der-hype-um-psychedelische-substanzen/swr2/12610997/
