Tom O’Neill: Manson Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi Was Compromised

[@arielbonzai462]

I’m. A believer. Roger Smith the PO who had one client : Charlie. He worked with another Smith , David in the free clinic. Yeah... they both wrote papers on LSD, gangs and speed. The evil Sydney Gottlieb was the boss. They are both associated with Jolly West who made a crash pad in the Haight, recruited grad students to watch them and for the most part the kids smelled the rat, which Jolly lived to torment with drugs and little space. Sounds like The Haight - which was their Petri dish.mRoger Smith bailed Charlie and the girls out of many legal hassles. Charlie called him a mentor nicknaming him the name of valentines mentor in Stranger in a Strange Land. There was a study with a film by one of the smiths that was about the family and communal marriage. They have footage from the apps in Berkeley, SF, bus, Spahn, Topanga and Death Valley. You have to ask them to read papers about the group but the link wasn’t functional Alll I got was sources and a thesis. They apparently released the study in 70 or 72 and left out the part where the group massacres at least a dozen human beings. I’m not sure how people can be so dismissive when they’ve confessed to Chaos and other weird factions working illegally in the country. There are a variety of other things that are compelling as well. They’d been dosing Hookers, johns, military peons, inmates in the federal prison system--treating Americans like lab rats. So there’s reason to believe Owlsley, Leary, Garcia, and the bikers were distributing the speed and lsd to the hippies. Especially in SF during 67 when things got real dark real fast. They were definitely mixed up in the death of JFK==he was ready to shut the CIA down as they fraternize with with gangsters in mobs, gangs etc. JFK knew they were instigating shit in Vietnam, at odds with the FBI . Thought they’re amoral swine, JFK was doing that thing Charlie’s says you have to abide. . He broke his word, well Joe’s word which probably didn’t count for much but they knew the boys would answer for it if they didn’t do as agreed. Though he himself was using a Dr. Feelgood they may have sent him, JFK was too caught up in his own hype to grasp how expendable he was. I’m sure LBJ set that highly dubious route through Dalllas and Castro was all for it, but it’s clear the CIA made a Manchurian candidate or two as Jolly West sent Ruby to La la hell. When he cane to the station, Ruby was not even remotely hindered. Here’s Oswald fresh from the kill and they got no one watching the the place? They had someone on duty even during the slowest days. There’s a lot here and to make it more fishy Bug wrote a dull lone gun narrative that was like 9000 pages long. It’s obvious people want to dismiss this shit because the ramifications are terrifying. Another strange thing. Charlie’s average IQ of 110 or so as a young man went up more than 50 points while he was incarcerated . He spent two 0r so years doing th sloppy thing, now he’s discussing abstract perception of the New Testament , spewing esoteric concepts and making talk show hosts look like bullies and moron. He even makes Diane Sawyer break out in giggles at one point. With a scatological quip no less! Did I mention the miracle of the severed penis?

I went to school with the only Manson member to be paroled. Steve "Clem" Grogan, this was in LA in 1986, its a music school in Hollywood called Musicians Institute. Steve (Clem), was a blues guitar player and did some art work for the school, I met him in a practice room and he tried out my guitar. He kept telling me that my strings were old and needed replacing. Its was odd because he kept saying it over and over. Anyway, a friend of mine saw me in the room with him and his eyes got real wide and he briskly walked away. Later he told me that that guy was a former Manson family member. I was a big skeptic and said "no way, thats bullshit" "its probably some kind of rumor" well, he said, "thats what I thought till I went to the bookstore on the boulevard and looked at the pics in Helter Skelter!" So, on my way home I went and looked at the book. In the insert in the middle are a bunch of pics of the family and there he was, Steve Grogan staring back at me at a younger age. My heart sank. I never talked to him again. Totally true story.

The next day he goes off to work, but locks himself in his office. He takes the phone off the hook, cancels all his meetings and awaits the inevitable. He stays at work past 5 because he feels secure there. He watches the hours tick by. Finally it is midnight and, drenched in sweat, he realizes he has cheated death. He drives home drenched in sweat and with all his nerves frazzled. His wife is up and waiting for him - Where the hell were you today??!

I agree, but Charlie was probably telling campfire stories that a few of these lsd addled kids bought into. Leslie thought she was growing fairy wings. Ruth Anne and Diane May have bought into it though neither admits it. Mary and Gypsy’s deep involvement with AB suggests they thought of it in a more militant concept. This is likely so with Pat, Sandy ( she’s a freaking war girl), Squeaky, Brenda, and the men-Bruce, Dennis Rice, Little Larry, TJ, and afternoon awhile Bobby spouted off some stuff that was clearly under Sandy’s influence. Fortunately he out grew that eventually. Prison has been good to him in many ways. I don’t think Sadie or Clem thought about much at all. .what I find very disturbing is how easily Bug dominated the narratives of Ed Sanders and Little Paul. Sanders goes in a wild goose chase trying to get hi== porn allegedly created by the family ( insets is best!). Turns out these film were made by the beautiful people in the canyons. They were as sexually depraved, strung out and felonious as Charlie’s tribe. They too made illegal movies, sold and ingested illicit drugs, trafficked others, got into jail bait maybe worse.

@@TheIndependentLens You do realize most of them do not say Helter Skelter was the motive, right? They say it was an overall philosophy, a representation of “chaos in the world” that would eventually culminate in some kind of cataclysmic event like a racial war unless people returned to a more basic, “real” form of living in nature and away from “the man”. Almost everyone involved with the murders, including the infamously unreliable Sadie who initially mentioned Helter Skelter as an idea, then through the workings of the prosecution, was pushed to establish it as a motive to the grand jury to pin Manson, said Helter Skelter wasn’t a motive later on once she decided to head back to Manson’s camp, then again in the book “Goodbye Helter Skelter”. It was an idea, and the crux of it being the motive for the murders has been disavowed by almost every family member involved. The ones who do talk about it as a motive we’re people who weren’t even involved in the killings, but heard about it a lot on the commune, then later on once the trial established it as motive, simply said, “Yeah, I do remember hearing that a lot.” Most of them maintain the murders were carried out due to different reasons, through the one I hear most is due to the Gary Hinman situation and Bobby’s imprisonments. I think the reality of it is a lot less goofy or extreme than either Helter Skelter or a CIA conspiracy. If anything, it was probably some kind of drug burn considering the history of the people at Cielo Drive and the wealthy nature of the LaBiancas along with where they lived. The main man behind it more than likely being Watson & Manson considering their history with selling and purchasing drugs, and the fact the two had been to Cielo before on multiple accounts. Why do you think Tex is so adamant about not getting those tapes out? Why would the LAPD refuse to release them under FIA? Say what you will about Tom, but some of his findings have merit. Helter Skelter is a lurid horror story mostly meant to sensationalize and keep important people like Terry Melcher out.

I remember that moment when Vince flipped out on Jesse Ventura and told him to turn off the cameras. He had a hair trigger and did seem to be an unusual lawyer in that he received celebrity status from that one case and never maintained any legal standing of prominence yet he was used repeatedly to bolster a position like having him prosecute Lee Harvey Oswald in abstentia against Jerry Spence in a televised mock trial (worth watching) or of course having Vince claim authorship of the JFK book promoting the lone gunman theory.

I loved reading Helter Skelter in 1976 I guess it was. I was age 14 or 15, and had grown up as a 7 or 8 year old hearing constantly about the Manson Murders, that's the reason I started reading the newspaper when I was age 7. I know a well written book when I read it, even from an extremely young age as an early reader. Helter Skelter made me think more and increased my brain activity and intelligence level! I loved it. Even though it's a terrible topic for a kid, I needed to know what happened and what I had lived hearing so much about. BUT I also know something that's highly promoted and touted, highly believed by mainstream culture and authorities, something so polished and accepted, is likely controlled information. I'm deeply delighted to hear the truth behind the Bugliosi story! He was a deep state operative - back in those horribly messy days.

[@monkeyb1820]

Bugliosi was corrupt as crap. The book (and other books that are not as scrupulously cited such as Dave McGowan's work) confirms: in California, hollywierd, the cia, the music industry, the police forces are basically all the same thing. The CIA ultimately controls all of it to a tremendous extent. Parts of it are 'compartmentalized' so O'neill was able to (astutely) notice discrepancies in stories and testimony. But ultimately, the cia lies so much that there is no way to arrive at 100% truth, but (like McGowan) he lays out a ton of great information as best he can.

Did they go there to steal videos that Charlie knew Roman had made and kill them while there? Maybe snuff and kidie stuff? Maybe black mail? Charlie and the gang killed a lot more people than the two episodes they went down for. Bugliosi briefly brushes over that in book. It’s a dumb book
