Manson and MK Ultra [PT2]

Charles Manson was released from federal prison on March 21st, 1967. At age 32, he had spent more than half of his life in various reformatories, juvenile facilities, and adult correctional institutions. Most of Manson's crimes were related to car theft and check forgery type offenses, although there is a rape of a young man mentioned in O'neil's book.

Upon his mandatory release from Terminal Island prison, Manson was initially processed under the jurisdiction of the federal probation office in Los Angeles. Less than a month later, Manson traveled north to the San Francisco Bay Area. Because leaving his designated area without permission technically violated his release conditions, he contacted the local San Francisco probation office. Rather than penalizing him, authorities transferred his file to federal probation officer and criminology doctoral researcher Roger Smith. At the time, Smith had about 40 individuals under his watch, but abruptly reduced his case load down to 1 client, Charles Manson.

It was Roger Smith who recommended Manson move to San Francisco. And not just to any random location there, he was urged by Roger to move into the Haight Ashbury district so he could be near the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic [HAFMC], a place you may recall me discussing in part 1. Manson and his early followers regularly went there so Manson could check in and maintain his parole compliance.

Like David Elvin Smith and Dr Jolyon West, Roger Smith had an academic history of studying human behavior under the influence of drugs. After attending the Berkeley School of Criminology, he studied the relationship between drug use and violent behavior in Oakland gangs. He then did the same type of thing in the Haight/Ashbury, where he was assigned to David Smith's Fed funded Amphetamine Research Project [ARP], which studied the relationship between Amphetamine usage and violent behavior in hippies. I wonder if the decision to move Manson to the Haight in violation of his parole had anything to do with the "studies" being conducted there?

STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND

I first heard of the 1961 book "Stranger in a Strange Land" from British Heavy Metal group Iron Maiden, who had a song of the same name included on their 1980s album "Somewhere in Time." Turns out, this was a highly influential Science Fiction book, writted by Robert A. Heinlein - a peer and friend of L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard wrote the 1950 book "Dianetics," which was the basis upon which Scientology was originally established.

Legend has it, Heinlein and Hubbard made a bar room bet one day to see who could establish a real-world religion the fastest. The alleged result was Hubbard's Dianetics and Heinlein's later published work "Stranger in a Strange Land." Although it's unclear whether this "bet" really occurred, Hubbard famously stated in the 1940s that the true way to make a million dollars was to start a religion—which he eventually did by transforming his self-help system, Dianetics, into Scientology. But what about Heinlein's work? What "religion" did he establish?

Charles Manson was supposedly obsessed with "Stranger in a Strange Land," and kept a copy on him. One of his nicknames for parole officer Roger Smith was Jubal Harshaw, the name of a character in the book. Manson also named his child after the main character, Valentine Michael Manson [now Michael Brunner], born April 1968 to Manson Family member Mary Brunner.

The plot of Heinlein's book almost sounds like it could have been the blueprint upon which the Manson family was created. In it, protagonist Valentine Michael Smith founds a communal religious movement based on free love and a radical reshaping of human society, paralleling how Charles Manson built an isolated, commune-style following in California that drew loosely on 1960s spiritual and literary tropes. The messianic figure of Valentine parallels Manson, who was sometimes called "J.C." [Jesus Christ] by members of his "family."

“Is it a conspiracy that the music is telling the youth to rise up against establishment? It is not my conspiracy. It is not my music. I hear what it relates. It says rise. It says kill. Why blame it on me? I didn’t write the music.” - Charles Manson

The concept of incorporating a particular book, film, or song into Mind Control programming is a well known concept to those who have spent any time studying the subject. The Manson family's defense itself focused on a motive which involved the music of the Beatles, specifically the song Helter Skelter. But was this merely a cover story for something much deeper and disturbing? Was Charlie himself "programmed" on some level to do the things that he did? Was "Stranger in a Strange Land" part of that programing template?

In 1971 "The Family" by Ed Sanders was published. In it, Sanders claimed an individual by the name of William Deanyer [real name Burnie William Smith] taught Charles Manson techniques of hypnotism. During this time, which would have been the late 50s/early 60s, Sanders was involved with a nightclub on the Sunset Strip and performed hypnotisms live for entertainment purposes. We don't know which specific club he operated or where he performed for various reasons, but him using multiple aliases over the years could certainly be one.

Newspaper and military records place him stationed in Hawaii during the mid-1950s, where he got into some legal trouble. By September 1956, while still active as a 33-year-old Navy yeoman, he was already publicly known and legally documented in local Hawaiian court cases as a "professional hypnotist."

In Tom O'neil's book, he documents how he tracked down Deanyer's daughter and got her confirmation that she personally witnessed her father teaching Manson hypnotism. While this can't be proven, it's interesting nonetheless when taken into account with all of the mind control themes popping up here. It's also noteworthy that both Deanyer and Dr West both seemed to have honed their "skills" while serving in the Military. In the case of Dr West, we know that this was related on some level to the very practical military applications of "brainwashing."

SPEED KILLS

The phrase "speed kills" in reference to amphetamines was coined by Dr. David Smith, physician and founder of the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic in San Francisco, during the late 1960s drug crisis. He would have known, since he and Dr Jolly West recieved funds from the CIA to observe how speed affected hippes during the Summer of Love!

Susan Atkins said the Family got speed from Hells Angels and got violent from that point. Linda Kasabian said they all took a capsule of speed the night of the murders, but testified she hadn’t taken any drugs. Charles "Tex" Watson—the primary gunman and stabber during the Tate and LaBianca murders—explicitly stated he was heavily under the influence of speed (amphetamines) at the time of the killings.

At this point you might recall that in part 1 we noted Dr West's findings regarding "brainwashed" POWs returning from Korea, where he noted specifically that SLEEP DEPRAVATION was the most crucial tool in the soldier's mind alterations. What does Speed do? It keeps you awake for days, possibly even weeks!

["Helter Skelter" was published in November 1974 and co-authored by Vincent Bugliosi, lead prosecutor against the Manson Family]

Despite the presence of Speed and it's known tendancy to instill violent behavior, it's role was specifically downplayed by prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, who wrote the book "Helter Skelter". Bugliosi noted the Family’s speed use primarily to establish their erratic behavior, but he intentionally kept it from becoming a major theme during the trial or in his definitive book.

Bugliosi's entire case relied on the "Helter Skelter" motive—that Manson ordered the killings to spark an apocalyptic race war. He feared that if he emphasized the killers' heavy speed use, the defense could successfully argue the murders were just the result of a "paranoid speed psychosis" or a messy, drug-fueled robbery, which would derail his conspiracy charge against Manson.

This brings us back to the issue I raised in part 1: how did Manson get charged for murders he did not directly commit? The answer is that Bugliosi apparently convinced the jury and the public that Manson BRAINWASHED his followers into believing his "Helter Skelter" conspiracy theory to the point of committing actual murder under his command.

"They made it into 'Helter Skelter.' It wasn't 'Helter Skelter.' They said it was a race war. It wasn't a race war." - Charles Manson

While members of the Family, who were obviously suceptible to mind control, seemed to play along and admit to being part of this conspiracy, Charles Manson himself vehemently denied this was the case. He claimed Helter Skelter was an invention of prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi to secure a conspiracy conviction. While one could pass off Manson's denials easily enough, Bugliosi's motive to do this couldn't be more plausible. He'd get paid by successfully prosecuting one of the most high profile cases in modern American history, and he'd make a killing selling the story via his book, "Helter Skelter."

SO WHAT?

I think for most people none of this really matters until we look at what is happening today and note the very obvious and observable fact that everything that went into manufacturing the Manson Family murders are still in operation.

1: RACE WAR

Racial issues are continually promoted by the mainstream news media. Whether it is the George Floyd incident or the Karmelo Anthony incident - black/white relations are clearly being intentionally degraded, by sensationalizing or even MANUFACTURING black/white divisiveness. This blog should give you a taste of the very REAL ability rogue CIA factions have to actually PROGRAM people to perform illegal/violent acts for purposes which they themselves may not even be aware of. The culling of all non-white races into this same category of "those oppressed by whites" bleeds into the narrative of illegal immigration, falsely portraying the securing of America's borders as being entirely based in some sort of "racist" intent - and NOT about safety and national security, which benefits American citizens of ALL racial profiles!

2: FREE LOVE

Apparently Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" had a profound impact upon the "free love" philosophy of the 1960s hippie movement. Before this, the idea of monogomy and a proper family with a mom and dad at home was considered the ideal [imagine that!]. A clear line from this irrisponsibly promiscuous "free love" mentality [masked as "freedom"] can be seen directly today in the sexual identity confusion, the proliferation of single mothers/divorce, the incesant promotion of drugs and promuscuity in popular culture, and a general emphesis upon appearances over intellect.

3: MIND CONTROL

During the COVID 19 pandemic America saw both the highest unemplyment and the highest number of individuals on government assistance IN HISTORY. But perhaps the scariest thing about the pandemic wasn't the economic numbers or even the illness itself, but rather the utter willingness of Americans to relinquish their freedoms and completely conform to the larger mainstream narrative at every turn out of ignorance and FEAR. It's not just that people had differences in the way they percieved the pandemic, but the near civil war level of divisiveness over an individual's right to have an OPINION of their own if it didn't align 100% with the status quo established by the Mainstream Media. This is the very same propaganda machine which was in operation during the Manson trials, promoting the idea that yes, brainwashing and mind control exists, but ONLY when it's committed by a small shifty-eyed criminal named Charlie Manson.

Manson and MK Ultra [PT 1]

I'd never delved that deeply into the Charles Manson topic before researching this blog, but I probably knew about as much as your average "conspiracy theorist." I knew that Manson had some sort of ability to control other people in his cult/commune of the late 1960s. I knew that the Manson Murders were part of some "race war" that was allegedly described within lyrics of the Beatles' music and that Charlie was in and out of prison for most of his life up to that point.

Aside from the basic shocking details, I always found it very strange that although this horror seemed to originate somewhere in that psychotic gaze of Manson's, he never actually killed anyone himself. Not that we know of, anyway. Maybe that's not so shocking to people, but I found it to be a very troubling detail! How can a man be charged for a bunch of murders without actually murdering anyone? Why does popular culture consistently, year after year, revise the public's fear, awe, and mystique of this seemingly mad bafoon? And so began an unconscious mission to one day try and get to the bottom of it...

Fast forward a few years and I find myself watching a podcast where a man was being interviewed. This guy knew A-LOT about Charles Manson, and was casually revealing shocking details I'd never heard before. What captivated me most was what he said about Manson's parol officer, and how Charlie had been sort of "let out" into society, despite violating his parole repeatedly. And although I can't for the life of me remember who that guy on the podcast was, my subconscious mission became more conscious, eventually leading me to Tom O'Neill, who's book "CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties" I eventually picked up.

While it's a fascinating read with an exhaustive amount of detail, I feel it's ultimately a very well written reference book for others, like myself, to expand upon. What I found was essentially the next installment of my blog series "Acid, Music, Mindcrime" - where I explored Courtney Love and her connections to the 60s LSD mind control experiments, via her father Hank Harrisson. That's what this blog is.

DR. JOLLY

[Louis Jolyon West, Chief of Psychiatric Service at Lackland Air Force Base, early 1950s]

We are told that Operation Mk Ultra began in 1953, but when and where was the first official Mk Ultra experiment? We'll probably never know for sure, but one disturbing incident described in Oneill's book is probably one of the earlier examples on record: the case of Jimmy Shaver.

On the night of July 3rd, 1954 Chere Jo's parents left the three-year-old girl alone while they were inside the Lazy A Tavern in San Antonio, Texas. After she went missing, a car was found parked with the girl's underwear hanging from its door. The girl's body was located nearby, having been raped and murdered.

Jimmy Shaver, a technical instructor stationed at the local Air Force base, was found shirtless and covered in scratches - presumably near the crime scene. Shaver had no criminal record, wasn't drunk, and was found to be in a trance-like daze. On the day of his arrest, he apparently stated "If she was raped and if she is dead then I must be responsible since I was the one who picked her up and put her in my care." He didn't recognize his wife and recalled nothing for 2 months, until a psychiatrist named Louis West showed up.

Louis Jolyon West was assigned as Chief of Psychiatric Service at the 3700th USAF Hospital at the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas at the same time Jimmy Shaver was stationed there as a technical instructor. West was ordered to conduct a psychiatric evaluation of Shaver. West hypnotized Shaver and injected him with sodium pentothal in an attempt to remove his amnesia. While Shaver was under hypnosis, his amnesia seemed to break, and he confessed to killing the young girl - though he appeared to be in a trance for the duration of the trial. Shaver was eventually executed on July 25th, 1958.

Now I don't know what's more disturbing here - Shaver's seemingly unmotivated act of brutality towards the little girl, or West's apparent ability to successfully manipulate Shaver's trance-like state. Because if West had the ability to penetrate and manipulate Shaver's trance-like state, did he also have the ability to INDUCE it?

["In 1952, China, North Korea, and the Soviet Union launched a major international propaganda campaign alleging that the United States military was dropping insects infected with plague, cholera, and anthrax. The US government denied these allegations, and declassified Soviet and Chinese archives from 1998 confirmed that the germ warfare claims were entirely fabricated." - Google A.I.]

We are told Dr West assumed his position at Lackland airforce base in 1952, roughly 2 years before the Jimmy Shaver incident. Sometime in 1953, West helped “deprogram” POWs [Prisoners of War] back from Korea who were allegedly brainwashed. Dr West got them to “renounce” their claims about the United States using biological weapons against the Koreans.

"What we found enabled us to rule out drugs, hypnosis or other mysterious trickery...[i]t was just one device used to confuse, bewilder and torment our men until they were ready to confess to anything. That device was prolonged, chronic loss of sleep." - Dr West

He then published a paper with the title "United States Airforce prisoners of the Chinese Communist. Methods of forceful indoctrination: Observations and Interviews."

In Tom O'Neil's book, he speaks of a document he unearthed among Dr West's records which included a letter dated June 11th, 1953, in which he wrote to someone with the initials "S.G.". This is thought to be Dr Sidney Gottleib, head of Operation MK Ultra. Goals were to extract info from unwitting subjects, followed by amnesia. Also, techniques for implanting false info and inducing mental disorder. Also discussed were creating “couriers of info.” [presumably, individuals with information "implanted" into their mind without their knowing, to be "extracted" at a later date]

At least one individual of note seemed to be somewhat aware of Dr West's activities. Decorated War hero General Robert B. Williams "strongly opposed," and may have played a role in Dr West's transfer to the Oklahoma School of Medicine, where he was head of the Psychiatric Department. He lied about his covert intentions there, and was financed by another MK Ultra front, the Geschicker Fund for Medical Research.

JACK RUBY

Most of you probably know who Jack Ruby is, the guy who murdered John F Kennedy's murderer, Lee Harvey Oswald, on November 24th, 1963.

“What am I doing here? What are you guys jumping on me for?”

This is what Jack Ruby said immediately after shooting Lee Harvey Oswald, according to Lawrence Schiller, a journalist who was Ruby's "Ghost Writer" for a period. These quotes seem to indicate that Ruby was in a state of dissociation immediately following the shooting, indicating accute mental issues which were not officially acknowledged until months later. But how credible is Schiller? I don't know but his resume and high profile clients over the years does carry some weight.

Although the "official account" given by police on the scene describes a decidedly more lucid Jack Ruby, shouting things like "somebody had to do it!" and "I'm Jack Ruby, you know who I am!" - these alleged statements by Ruby don't seem to be corroborated by any witnesses, so in the end, it's really a battle of narratives. The narrative convenient to the prosecution vs the one convenient for the defense [reasons of mental insanity in the case of the latter].

Now guess who they called in to "examine" Ruby in his jail cell, among a few others? Dr Louis Jolyon West, of course! This occurred on April 26th, 1964 - about 5 months after Ruby shot Oswald and 1 day after allegedly attempting to commit suicide by banging his head up against his jail cell wall [a "fact" which seems to be in dispute by at least 1 jail guard].

Following several hours alone with Ruby, Dr. West announced that he had suffered an "acute psychotic break". He officially diagnosed him with acute psychosis, a paranoid state, and suicidal tendencies. It is from this point forward that Ruby seemed hopelessly convinced that a 2nd holocaust was occuring and that Jews [like himself] were systematically being exterminated. Was it a coincidence that Ruby seemed, by all accounts, to have absolutely lost his marbles right after being visited by Dr West? Sure, he was probably already "crazy" to a degree to have committed the murder, but that's a different kind of crazy than hiding under tables terrified Jew hunters are after you!

In April 1956, 8 years BEFORE West "examined" Jack Ruby, he reported in a paper called “The Psychophysiological Studies of Hypnosis and suggestibility” in which he suggested he could REPLACE true memories with false ones without the individual knowing. Through drugs, hypnosis, LSD, Amphetamines, reserpine, and chlorpromazine. Documents with this information were not given to the senate [1970s Church?] hearings. In October of 1963, West told the Mental Health Association of Oregon that he could INDUCE insanity.

Keep in mind, few people knew about Dr West's connections to MK Ultra at the time he examined Ruby [or of MK Ultra's existence at all, for that matter]. As far as the majority involved with Jack Ruby's case knew, Dr West was as reputable as any other Dr who evaluated him. However, there was one Dr William Beavers who wondered if Ruby had been tampered with or drugged by an outsider. Did West INDUCE Ruby's insanity? Did West actually PLANT this anti-Jewish conspiracy into Ruby's mind?

LSD RESCUE PROJECT

I can’t get him out of my head! He’s still in my brain! - Susan Atkins

Susan Atkins was a member of the "Manson Family" who is believed to have participated in the "Helter Skelter" murders of 1969, for which she was sentenced to jail for the rest of her life. Although she had confessed to participating in the murders at some point, she frequently contradicted herself and even changed her story entirely. 10 years after the incident, she stated that she couldn't get Charlie out of her head. "He's still in my brain!" Atkins clearly had mental issues, but was there something more to it? Was the Manson Family the result of some kind of MK Ultra Mind Control experiment gone RIGHT?

[Hank Harrisson was featured in the CBS documentary, "The Maze: Etched in Acid."]

[Harrison, allegedly "talking down" an individual from a "bad acid trip."]

Here's where the connection to my earlier blog series, "Acid, Music, Mindcrime" comes in, which deals alot with Courtney Love's father, Hank Harrison.

Although Harrison's early connection to the Grateful Dead [who were probably called the Warlocks at that point] doesn't seem to be denied publicly, Jerry Garcia himself later denounced Harrison and his writings about the Dead as full of lies - which says something when we consider Jerry's generally laid back and non-confrontational nature. It would seem one aspect of Harrison's incessent need to attach himself to the Dead and the Summer of Love was simple grift. But I don't think that's the whole story. I believe Tom O'neil's book may provide some explanation, which may connect him to the larger Mk Ultra Operation happening in the Haight/Ashbury at that time.

Years before writing a book about how his daughter, Courtney Love, had her husband Kurt Cobain murdered, Harrison was quite active in the Haight Ashbury. According to his ex-wife Linda Carroll [Courtney's mother] Hank was basically a broke con-artist who could bullshit a group of hippies so well they'd gather around him like some sort of spiritual guru. After preaching the gospel of freedom and LSD for a while, Harrison seems to then do a complete U-Turn, dons a suit and tie and starts talking about the DANGERS of LSD. This activity seemed to peak in the 1967 CBS produced documentary, "The Maze: Etched in Acid" where he speaks of the San Francisco LSD Rescue Project. Well what the hell is that? According to Harrison, it was basically a service provided to the young LSD taking public [hippies], to help them come down from "bad acid trips." According to an interview with KPIX's Pat Obrien, the number of "rescues" per week were in the single digits.

The fact I couldn't find out anything about this LSD Rescue Project outside of Harrison's own testimony and the short CBS documentary was probably the most nagging question mark my aforementioned blog series left me with. Then I found Tom O'neil's book, which seems to detail the blueprint behind the "LSD Rescue Project." The only problem is, it didn't seem to involve Hank Harrison at all! It did however involve someone you may have heard of recently, Dr Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West.

RATS IN A CAGE

Before we get back to Dr Jolly West, we need to talk about David Elvin Smith, founder of the Haight Ashbury Free Medical clinic in June of 1967. According to Tim O'neil's book, private federal grants fed the HAFMC. One specific project which was carried out through the clinic was called the Amphetamine Research Project [ARP], which was funded by the National Institute of Metal Health [NIMH] via the CIA. While this may or may not have involved David Smith's research on rats, where he injected them with LSD and Speed, the results were the same on humans to a degree: injecting speed into them while confined increased their violence by 4x. Coincidentally, the drug speed exploded onto the streets of the Haight/Ashbury at the same time HAFMC opened its doors. Just as I insinuated in my "Acid, Music, Mindcrime" blog series, the Haight/Ashbury itself was a sort of "laboratory" within which experiments where being condicted on the hippies who were flocking there to experience the "Summer of Love" first hand.

“They behaved, quite naturally, like rats in a cage” - David E Smith

Locals affectionaltely referred to Smith as "the friendly fed." Given Timothy Leary's specific approval of the CIA's role in releasing LSD into the public, I think it's fair to say that the idea of feds mingling with the hippies in the Haight was oddly normalized to a degree. It was KNOWN that the feds were playing a role! And so it behooved the Feds to just sort of blend in like any other group of freaks!

[Hank Harrison and an unknown individual, speaking in January of 1966 about their LSD Rescue Mission]

Although Hank Harrison CLAIMED to have recieved a grant which enabled him to start the LSD Rescue Mission [LSDRM], this is not officially acknowledged anywhere. But given the fact that we know the CIA was funding organizations such as the HAFMC and projects like the ARP, it seems plausible that Harrison DID recieve money from the feds to sponsor LSDRM. But the only thing we can point to which shows that this organization existed in reality is an alleged "hotline" and CBS produced footage of young people, presumably hippies, speaking with Allen Cohen and others who played the role of LSD Rescuer in front of the camera. And so the question is, if this was all a "front," what was it a front for and why was Harrison being paid to play it out?

Around this same time, Dr Jolly West accepted a personal invitation from David E Smith to work out of the HAFMC. He was given an office and was instructed to recruit subjects for LSD research. A fake "hippie crash pad" was created just a couple blocks away on Frederick street, where subjects would be lured for study. This project was financed by the Foundations Fund for Research in Psychiatry Inc, which was bankrolling West's other projects, according to records in files Tim O'Neil unearthed from UCLA, where West served as chair of the Department of Psychiatry later in his life. According to O'neil, the FF was a CIA front.

6 students were installed at this "hippie crash pad on Frederick," and were instructed to “dress like hippies” to “lure” actual hippies on LSD into the apartment. Stanford Psych Graduate Kathy Collins lived/worked at HAP (Haight Ashbury Project) for a summer, and worked at the "crash pad." About that project she commented, “what the hell have I gotten myself into and what the hell is Jolly [West] doing? It’s like a zoo. Is he studying us or is he studying them?” She was essentially getting paid to do nothing, hardly anyone came through apparently. Hippies looked on the house with suspicion.

I believe the above is the REAL, DOCUMENTED "LSD Rescue Mission," and that Hank Harrison's earlier 1966 prototype version was a 100% media created Psyop. I can't prove this of course, but many things fit very well within this lense.

1: The "grant" Harrison bragged about getting was probably, in reality, some sort of payment to participate in the psyop. And being the broke, sociopathic, nacassistic con artist he was, of course he'd jump at the opportunity!

2: Money WAS being put into observing hippies on drugs during this time and can be traced back to the Feds.

3: Harrison's obviously contrived LSD Rescue Mission's stated purpose resembles the actual documented LSD Research conducted in the Haight only months later in the same neighborhood.

It's probably worth noting here as well the parallels to what was going on in London's Psychedelic scene at the same time. Specifically, the activities occuring at 101 Cromwell Road, where a certain Syd Barrett lived for a time [link at bottom of the page].

My guess is that the remainder of Hank Harrison's life was basically him grifting off of and milking whatever he could from his little brush with the feds, and saw himself as a "secret agent" of some sort. Of course, his brief connection to the Grateful Dead and his now famous daughter provided endless material of which he could endlessly sensationalize and claim ownership of - while few would be the wiser with regards to what was truth and what was lies. In reality, he was probably a very low level agent provocateur who's ego was too out of control to make him very useful in the end.

[Hank Harrison died on January 22nd, 2022 in Gault, California. I hadn't even heard about this until I starting writing up this blog! R.I.P. Lord have mercy on your soul.]
