Remember Joan's song about child sacrifice? How's that for a folk ballad?
Have a look at these lyrics, in the light of pizzagate revelations:
PLAY ME BACKWARDS (Written by Joan Baez, Wally Wilson, Kenny Greenberg & Karen O’Connor)
Source (easier to read) :http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/joanbaez/playmebackwards.html
"You don’t have to play me backwards To get the meaning of my verse You don’t have to die and go to hell To feel the devil’s curse
Well I thought my life was a photograph On the family Christmas card Kids all dressed in buttons and bows And lined up in the yard Were the golden days of childhood So lyrical and warm Or did the picture start to fade On the day that I was born
I’ve seen them light the candles I’ve heard them bang the drum And I’ve cried Mama, I’m cold as ice! And I got no place to run
Let the night begin there’s a pop of skin And the sudden rush of scarlet There’s a little boy riding on a goat’s head And a little girl playing the harlot There’s a sacrifice in an empty church Of sweet li’l baby Rose And a man in a mask from Mexico Is peeling off my clothes
I’ve seen them light the candles I’ve heard them bang the drum And I’ve cried Mama, I’m cold as ice! And I got no place to run
So I’m paying for protection Smoking out the truth Chasing recollections Nailing down the proof
You don’t have to play me backwards To get the meaning of my verse You don’t have to die and go to hell To feel the devil’s curse I’ll stand before your altar And tell everything I know I’ve come to claim my childhood At the chapel of baby Rose
I’ve seen them light the candles I’ve heard them bang the drum I’ve seen them light the candles I’ve heard them bang the drum"

Video of her performance with an interesting intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYmvFSmaATM
The song was released in 1992 and re-released on a new album in 2012, which includes the song, "The Trouble With the Truth"

Her album covers are noteworthy also. Here's one with a reference to her multiple personalities and to a girl holding a rose: https://securethumbs.ebay.com/d/l400/pict/311548399284_1.jpg
Here's an even creepier album cover form 2008: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_9d1HT0E0Es/UpDHcuh4QnI/AAAAAAAADm4/crZxSFUhxtY/s1600/Joan-Baez-Greatest-Hits-423846.jpg
She even has a song with a direct reference to Monarch programming, called "Caruso":
"Yes, the king of them all was Enrico
Whose singular chest could rival
A hundred fervent Baptists
Giving forth in a tent revival
True he was a vocal miracle
But that's only secondary
It's the sound of the monarch butterfly
That I find a little bit scary"

Why would a butterfly be "scary", unless it's really about this: https://vigilantcitizen.com/hidden-knowledge/origins-and-techniques-of-monarch-mind-control/
Her father worked for UNESCO (whose first director was eugenicist Julian Huxley, brother of Aldous Huxley); as a result Joan lived in England, France, Canada, Switzerland, Spain and Iraq. Here's a bit of what UNESCO is up to: http://www.globalresearch.ca/world-evolutionary-humanism-eugenics-and-unesco/9477
Then 1958, her father became a faculty member of MIT --of DARPA and MKULtra fame. (Side note: MIT, Negroponte, child porn: probably the real reason for the murder Aaron Swartz: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1767291
A lot of Joan's and Albert's Wikipedia pages have been altered since I first read of Albert's work with Cornell (MKULtra), Berkeley, and Stanford on those sites. Now the part about Albert's "science" research posted there is complete garbage to anyone who has actually studied science--this is par for the course for "spook cover". Joan's page is pure hagiography now.
You can download the 1977 Senate hearings on MKUltra here: https://mkultrarevisitedagain.wordpress.com/2016/01/02/1977-senate-hearing-on-mkultra/
You will find the educational institutions involved and that there were a lot of phony "scientists" used in their "experiments"
Here is an interview which connects some dots regarding Joan Baez:
"He [Phil Ochs] was a part of a group I called the “Baez Contras” who surrounded Joan Baez. It’s known that Joan was used in C.I.A. mind control experimentation at a very early age. She was subjected to trauma-based programming, which is still in use today in the creation of multiple personalities. If you look at the latest record by Joan Baez, she thanks her multiple personalities on the back of the record. Then you have her friend Phil Ochs, who was equally adamant in his opposition to the U.S. government and covert operations and he developed a multiple personality by the name of John Train. It wasn’t until ten years later that the name “John Train” surfaced as a C.I.A. operative working on Wall Street. As a matter of fact, Lyndon LaRouche complained about an agent named John Train who supposedly led him to his present jail sentence. During the 1960s and Seventies, John Train of the C.I.A. had the job of disrupting the Left, which was the sole purpose of Operation Chaos. So how was it that Phil Ochs came to have a multiple personality with the name of an actual C.I.A. agent? We know Phil Ochs was found hung in 1976 and it was his alternate personality that did the hanging that actually assassinated the host personality.
The F.B.I. and C.I.A. came together in Operation Chaos; it was an inter-agency program that drew upon the entire intelligence apparatus of the U.S. government. As I say, it was the largest covert project in American history. She’s admitted in private letters to two organizations for mind control victims that she had been submitted to trauma-based programming as a child. Her father was the head of Research Operations at Cornell University..."

At this point, many have understood that the whole hippy/drug culture thing was engineered by the intelligence agencies in "Operation Chaos" and that the music industry then (as now) is a product of that control.
Dave McGowan's excellent website has been scrubbed, but his great book is still available: "Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream". Many musicians are exposed.
We see the nexus of MKULtra, SRA, not only in politics, but in the music industry today and it looks like it's been around a long time.
At age 76, after a "ten year funk" (MK breakdown?), she joined the anti-Trump bandwagon, by posting her first song in 25 years on her Facebook page April 4, 2017: http://www.newser.com/story/240904/joan-baez-just-wrote-her-first-song-in-25-years.html

Gee thanks.
I noticed it fell to page two in favor of several redundant posts with 2 upvotes at this writing.

Par for the course, for these "mods".
