August 8th and 9th each year is the anniversary of the so-called Manson murders, which saw the brutal slaying of Sharon Tate, her unborn child, and her companions in the house at Cielo Drive in an operation that was intended to discredit the anti-war movement, hippies, African-Americans, and the American Left in general, and that was permitted to happen and then covered up by the very government agencies which are supposed to be protecting and serving the citizens that they supposedly serve.
In his blockbuster book, Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties, author Tom O'Neill exposes evidence which shows beyond doubt that Charles Manson and his cult were part of a government operation receiving help from federal agencies including the CIA, and that they were protected even when caught in the act of running prostitution with underage women, stealing cars and selling their parts through "chop shop" activities, stealing credit cards, firing automatic weapons at all hours of day and night despite complaints of neighbors, and violating parole repeatedly.
Above is a video I published a year ago around this time of year, discussing some of the extremely suspicious aspects of the Manson operation, aspects which the brilliantly insightful researcher Mae Brussell was already talking about on public radio as early as 1972. The video also discusses two connected films by blockbuster director Quentin Tarantino, including Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which explores the Manson operation within the wider American culture of the time from an artistic perspective.
This August 8th and 9th, please spend some time considering the implications of a government which participates in operations to disrupt popular movements through secretive, violent, and at times murderous acts. I would recommend watching the above video, the two linked movies by Quentin Tarantino discussed in that video, and then searching out and listening to multiple podcast interviews with Tom O'Neill about his Manson research.
