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 in the Navy. 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 on 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!]. While racism tends to be the ONLY thing the obviously infiltrated media likes to focus upon with regards to America's past, they never cite what was positive, like the fact that families were tighter, there was less crime, less mental illness, a more educated population, less drug consumption, less homelessness and less obesity! A clear line from this promiscuous "free love" mentality 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 generally less positive view of intellectualism in general. In short, it's "cooler" to be stupid!
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.
