Jay Dyer explores how the CIA and OSS utilized the Frankfurt School to weaponize postmodern art and deconstructionism to destabilize Western culture. He points out the military connections of 1960s counterculture icons, such as Jim Morrison's father being the admiral involved in the Gulf of Tonkin incident. The segment also links Frank Zappa's father to chemical warfare research at the Edgewood Arsenal and discusses the CIA's role in distributing LSD.
