The Devil's Business | The Story of Charles Manson

[@TraTranc]

Wow, Wendigoon and Aiden committed suicide at the same time, in the same day, killing each others in a suicide pact despite being found thousands of miles from one another, both tied with their hands behind their backs and shot in the back of their heads, and with hundreds of gigabytes of CP stashed in old Windows 98 computers in their basements despite neither of their houses having a basement.

Albert Hofmann wasn't a Nazi; he was a Swiss based chemist who tested LSD on himself and his friend Ernst Junger (who twice declined a seat in the Reichstag when offered to him by the Nazi party, and was later implicated in a plot to kill Hitler). I think there is some confusion between Hofmann, a Nazi member who shared the same name with a different spelling (Albert Hoffman), and the testing of mescaline by Kurt Plotner on people imprisoned in concentration camps . Plotner was later recruited by US intelligence to work with them on MK Ultra. (Apologies if people are seeing this and another similar comment from me - my original comment disappeared, but some people say they can see it).

[@HalfApeMan]

Was looking for this comment. Not the first time dude has spread misinformation about psychedelics. Pretty much my only criticism of the channel though.

[@pANZERNOOb]

I was about to bring up this too. The Nazis did in fact discover a chemical's properties accidentally in the same fashion as Hoffmann found LSD around the same time, this substance was an organophosphate nerve agent called TABUN. The two scientists had a puddle of the stuff on the counter and they went to wipe it up, both of them ended up in the ICU for almost two months.

[@Keev12661]

Yeah, I don't know where he got that information from, I also don't get how you can think a swiss scientist living in Switzerland was a nazi when Switzerland maintained armed neutrality during WWII? Love this guy's channel but that misinformation and the mispronunciation of mescaline makes it clear he doesn't know much about psychedelics lmao

LSD and criminals is oddly a major factor in the history of my hometowns area. I grew up in Midland Ontario (Canada). The next town over, Penetang, was home to Oakridge Asylum (the asylum was later changed in name but not function). From the 60-70s they worked with the US CIA and used criminally insane (or legally labelled such, many were young men simply arrested while stoned or drunk and mislabeled as unstable when merely intoxicated) to test LSD and cruel "therapies". The goal was to make perfect trained killers for the army. Instead they just turned a bunch of minor delinquents into legit psychopaths. It was bad enough that our Federal Government found the facility guilty of gross abuse of rights and closed it down after a major class action suit that reached out Supreme Courts

Just so everyone knows, a suspended sentence does NOT mean you’ll have to go to jail, just not at that point in time but you have to go later. What a suspended sentence is is you only have to go to jail IF you get in trouble again during your probation. If you stay out of trouble for your whole probation, you’re fine. if you get in trouble again while on probation, you not only go to jail for your probation violation, but you also go for your suspended sentence. THATS what a suspended sentence is. Source: I’ve had more than one suspended sentence in my life

I read the book exploring the link. There was weird stuff going on but so many records had been destroyed it is impossible to be definitive.

It's also possible that the parole officer was just into drugs, wouldn't be the first person in law enforcement who wasn't law abiding. Manson's final interview... Didn't he say it was mostly money problems? He debunked a lot of the conspiracies but was it his final manipulation?

“When Helter Skelter came out, the Beatles were not yet the Beatles as we know them today, they were a cultural icon but they were not yet ‘The Beatles’ ”? Uh what? The white album was one of their later albums, they had been the biggest band in the world for five years. This was post beatlemania, and at the time the white album was argued by some, and still is, as marking the downhill of their career, as they had already peaked with Revolver and Sgt Pepper. And saying they’re overrated isn’t a hot take, people have been saying that for 60 years. I wouldn’t say Bob Dylan is overrated either, I’ve hardly ever heard anyone talk about his music aside from the stereotypical protest songs when talking about the 60s.

Anyway, on the last leg of the visit a woman from the SLA took a shot at Ford, but she hit a cabbie the groin. She actually shot a guy and she did a lot less time than the manson girl.She never robbed any banks, kidnapped an heiress or terrorized the general population. She threw an apple at some lawyer during her trial and had good aim because it hit him on the head, which sounds kinda funy as did the rest of the trial bc she has a quirky wit.
