CIA Subproject 58, Life Magazine and the Wasson Exposure
Irvin details his discovery of primary documents linking Gordon Wasson to MKUltra Subproject 58. He claims Wasson personally requested funding from the CIA-linked Gesticter Fund for his 1957 trip to Mexico, which resulted in the famous Life Magazine article. Irvin expresses frustration that contemporary psychedelic proponents like Graham Hancock and Joe Rogan ignore this primary evidence in favor of the "official" narrative.
