thanks for posting this video and David Smith's story. i turned 18 in April and arrived in Haight on June 30, 1967. i came from LA. i was there all summer, middle class kid living on panhandled spare change, eating wonder bread and twinkies as a steady diet, and the occasional treat of fish and chips covered in vinegar and wrapped in newspaper from that fish and chips place on Haight near the Clinic, on the other side of the street. people working at that clinic must have eaten those fish and chips. i went to the clinic at least once, maybe twice. The time i dimly remember was drug related. i think i experimented with something involving an IV route ingestion, which was a rare thing with the people i was part of, the crash pad i lived at on Lyon and Haight, it was a special adventure to do that, at most that would have happened twice all summer, so i wasn't experienced at it, and i got scared that i had some kind of air bubble in my vein and was going to die and i went to the Free Clinic, waited my turn and told the doctor why i came and showed him the place where i thought the air bubble might be. Everyone there was kind to me and i knew it was ok to go there and tell them anything, they were part of the culture of Haight and the summer of love, an important part, they told me i was fine, there was no air bubble and i felt relieved and i was given some gentle counseling about taking risks. i think maybe i was on acid that day, or else i went another time when i was on acid and thought something was wrong with me, some kind of paranoia, and i received serious care, they knew everyone who came in there was living virtually on the streets and in altered states of consciousness and in most cases, at a stage of life that was very naive, a complex combination of factors that meant that each patient could be high risk of any number of things, so they treated each very seriously, as they screened people who came there, assessing and providing what was needed. The video talks about the realization of Smith and his supporters of the uniqueness of the situation and a need to provide services in a way that matched the uniqueness of the situation.. As described in the video, there was always a line there. i never knew the story behind the free clinic and the video was moving for me.
@@mariorossi4744 well they wouldn’t want to bring attention to an operation with young people dying, and also needed them so they could do their studies, so they did care if they died, just for different reasons than say their parents cared. Nothing is free, especially healthcare. The people providing it always have an agenda, and the fact they weaponise empathy is disturbing to me. Charles Manson and many of the girls who ‘followed’ him went that the clinic which was protected from scrutiny during and after the trials for the ‘Helter Skelter Murders’. The CIA has been a menace for as long as it has been around, even surviving and thriving after JFK’s promise of ‘scattering it to the wind’. How’s San Francisco doing nowadays with drugs and homelessness?
@@mariorossi4744 With insights like that I am surprised you can spell credibility And by the way, it is spell his name correctly not correct Did you miss the adverb section in school? LMAO
If something is free, you're the product.
Front for MK Ultra

And they were funded by the CIA. They were writing all that shit down.
@@xenophonicus as if the CIA would care if you live or if you die.

CHAOS.
This is the guy who MK’d Manson
I saw what I think was a UA-cam video that talked about the fact Mansion was at least there a lot Any idea what that might have been?
@@myproxybloviator8467 if you can't even write his name correct what is your credibility?

@@myproxybloviator8467 You still wrote Mansion instead of Manson, try to correct that instead.
@@mariorossi4744 Try to correct that instead of criticizing your grammar No thanks
