In Chile, the U.S. government tried to pacify the country village by village using the Strategic Hamlet Program, basically creating villages where there was no or little socialist influence.

They tried more extreme experiments where they completely isolated villages or groups of villages, allowing absolutely nobody to enter or exit for periods of up to four years.

In some of the villages, people simply starved to death.

In other, more self sufficient villages, the people managed to scrape by.

It was noted that in many of the villages where this technique was tried, messianic or millenarian movements sprang up.

In 16 separate incidences, villages were able to independently invent “flesh interfaces” and “non-electrical portals”, and it was surmised that these villages were being collectively dosed with LSD for long periods of time, and their intellectual mutations allowed for these ‘advances’.

The flesh interfaces were eventually destroyed by Pinochet’s troops at a terrible cost in lives.
