Operation Chaos Lives
Operation Chaos Lives is a sharp, kaleidoscopic blend of memoir, satire, and counterculture reportage by Paul Krassner. It threads together a collage of episodes from the late 1960s through the early 1980s—and beyond—tracking how real events, rumored conspiracies, and political theater fed one another. From Vietnam War deserters who fled to Sweden and formed the American Deserters Committee to lurid fantasies of CIA mind-control experiments, Krassner couches history in a voice that is at once slyly comic and unnervingly skeptical of power, media, and official narratives. The piece moves through encounters with figures like Lyndon LaRouche and the SDS/Yippies, touches on the Reagan assassination attempt, and weaves in Krassner’s own stand-up and satire. It keeps returning to themes of manipulation, memory, and the fragility of truth in an age of psy-ops, while updating the thread to later politics—LaRouche’s enduring influence, Helga LaRouche’s international activism, and a provocative call to reframe US-Russia-China relations against a perceived British media influence. The essay closes with Krassner’s self-aware humor about being targeted for his storytelling, and notes forthcoming collections that preserve his absurdist, insurgent voice.
