This is a tale of woe. More than that, it is an account of political corruption within law enforcement in the city of Los Angeles and state of California in what were supposed to be halcyon days of the good ol’ USA—Beach Boys, beach bunnies, hot rods and good vibrations.

To be sure, the character and work ethic of the American people were much higher in 1969 than now, yet the bureaucratic institutions of the Cryptocracy, as we shall see, were rotten with corruption “way back then.” We need to be cognizant of that fact when we pine for those days with dreamy nostalgia.

The past is prologue. We arrived at our contemporary nadir due to the crimes of our predecessors.

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. In terms of politicians, bureaucrats and cops, there were no old days so good that we could drop our guard. Watchful skepticism and investigative rigor toward agents of the government at all levels is the only guarantor of a modicum of freedom from injustice and the criminal corruption of the judiciary of which there are thousands of examples.

Charles Manson was released from Terminal Island prison in Los Angeles County on March 21, 1967. He had served 7 1/2 years for forging a government check (an unjust sentence often meted out to a man from the despised underclass of “white trash”). When he stepped out of confinement that day, he was 32 years-of-age. He had spent nearly half his life in prisons and juvenile detention centers. He didn’t know LSD from absinthe.

To Tom O’Neill and his co-author Dan Piepenbring we owe the crafting of a Revelation of the Method masterpiece, Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties.

Their book merits reading in its entirety. Its main point, in addition to the crimes committed by the police and prosecutors in the Manson case, concern Charlie’s “lost years” (1967 and 1968), immediately after his release, when he was directed to the San Francisco Bay Area and immersion in LSD-fueled CIA mind control programs.

These programs were conducted both at “The San Francisco Project,” conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health, and at the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic, staffed by a top CIA drug “experimenter” reporting directly to the agency’s infamous MK-Ultra Director, Sidney Gottlieb.

Moreover, those killed at the Sharon Tate/Roman Polanski house had music and drug connections to the Manson Family. Polanski’s entourage included drug dealers Abigail Folger and Wojciech Frykowski, and their crony Jay Sebring.

What exactly were the repercussions from Polanski possibly sharing or trading the sex videos he forced his wife, movie star Sharon, to make with other men and which the prosecutors generously returned to Polanski and kept out of the trial, remains to be determined (notice a similar modus operandi employed decades later with Jeffrey Epstein’s compromising recordings and CDs).

CIA Psychiatrist Dr. Louis Jolyon West

The processing of “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski with LSD at Harvard University and the processing of Manson with LSD in San Francisco 1967-1968 have the same source. Citizen-researchers must take it upon themselves to scour the archives. We must not succumb to Cryptocracy-induced languor and defeatism.

The private papers of CIA MK-Ultra brainwasher Dr. Louis Jolyon “Jolly” West, deposited at a university, lay untouched for decades until author Tom O’Neill waded through the tens of thousands of pages and obtained vital information concerning the CIA and Manson, heretofore secret. No one else had ever bothered. West had a documented history with MKUltra, an operation dedicated to perfecting bio-chemical and psychological methods for behavior modification and the programming of assassins.

Century 21: The Sub-Aeon of Chaos Magic

Ultra: Jack “Ziz”LaSota

There’s Little Need for LSD or MK-Ultra Now: Since the 1960s the Revelation of the Method process has evolved to the extent that behavior is modified and assassins recruited without intervention from MK-Ultra operations or LSD spiking.

The lost youth from broken homes who Manson recruited were a minority in 1969. The breakdown of the family was statistically low and the victims of that dissolution were comparatively few. Now they are legion, by design.

Zizian “Ultras,” the CIA’s Children

The “Zizian” gang of transgender killers, said to be led by Jack “Ziz” LaSota, a biological man, were brainwashed by immersion in popular culture and public schools, which in 2026 are a hundred times more powerful than an acid trip or an MK-Ultra behavior modification experience, for the reason that public schools and pop culture are the “Ultra” time capsules which the CIA and cognate secret societies engineered and put into place.

With regard to time capsules, perhaps it is a “coincidence” that some 5,000 years ago in ancient Sumer the word Ziz was virtually synonymous with the Akkadian ākilu — denoting a man-eating insect.

The scribes of that era compiled a bilingual lexicon which contemporary scholars term the Annotated Cuneiform Corpus. It indicates Sumerian words that have Akkadian correspondences. In that lexicon the Sumerian ziz is consonant with the Akkadian ākilu, i.e. any pest that devours; in this case, the human spirit.

The Manson saga was a government-staged psychodrama consisting of the unfolding of alternative realities categorized as “Helter Skelter.” Manson’s control over young people, women in particular, fascinated the masses who were eager to know how he did it.

According to O’Neill, “Vincent Bugliosi had made his name with the Manson trial, captivating the nation with stories of murderous hippies, brainwashing, race wars, and acid trips gone awry. Vince was sure to remind me, early and often, that he’d written three best-selling books, including Helter Skelter, his account of the Manson murders and their aftermath, which became the most popular true-crime book ever written. There are big holes in Helter Skelter: contradictions, omissions, discrepancies with police reports. The book amounts to an official narrative that few have ever thought to question.”

Hippie Helter Skelter was the comic book “solution” to the Manson riddle which the System served up with the message: don’t delve too deeply or you’ll become as creepy and pathological as Manson and his disciples.

People were torn between what was insinuated that they should adhere to if they wanted to be considered upright American candidates for success—the Cartesian realm of space, time, mass and energy. On the other hand, they glimpsed through the Manson lore the quantum realm of the shadow side: acausality, indeterminacy and observer dependence and it stupefied and bewildered them: the hidden layer does not behave like the visible one.

It took until the second decade of the 21st century before the debut of the confirmation of the existence of the preceding extraordinary fact was permitted to be disseminated. A clear Revelation of the Method signal was sent and the authentic answer conveyed: Manson’s power over people was a taxpayer-funded Federal government operation perpetrated by CIA sorcerer-bureaucrats.

O’Neill’s book is aptly named. The tearing of the human psyche by those who maximize the spiritual anguish that results from the tension between the affirmation of rational belief and the realization of quantum perception is the axis upon which the sub-aeon of Chaos magic revolves in our time: solve et coagula.

The “Manson Family” was a laboratory for engineering mind-rot; that the test subjects were subsequently killed, imprisoned or discarded should surprise no one.

Imprinting in the mind of the masses that the Family’s activities were inchoate Helter Skelter counter-culture gobbledygook concealed for a half century the actual players and their objectives. At present we inhabit a different aeon.

[Caveat: not all or even a majority of “trans-gender” people who identify as members of the opposite sex are violence-prone, any more than all or most hippies identified with the mayhem of the Manson Family. They are nonetheless, a barometer of deeper trends in present day human behavior and psycho-history].

Another mind-manipulator, Dr. Henry Murray, was a member of the “blue blood” American aristocracy. He attended the finest schools, Groton and Harvard, and earned an M.D. from Columbia University and a doctorate in biochemistry from Cambridge University. He was chief psychologist for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS, later to become the CIA), and conducted military experiments on the utility of brainwashing. At Harvard he supervised psychoactive drug experiments on Kaczynski. (Cf. Alston Chase, Harvard and the Unabomber; also Jonathan D. Moreno, Mind Wars: Brain Science and the Military in the 21st Century; and Twilight Language, p. 339).

Charles Manson and Ted Kaczynski (along with thousands of others), were conditioned and shepherded by means of mind control administered by intelligence agencies of the Federal government. Manchurian candidates are churned out on an institutional assembly line, the existence of which in Manson’s case was buried, and replaced by Assistant Los Angeles District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi’s Helter Skelter theater.

The once hidden government, now dramatically revealing its true nature, is ritually escorting the American people on a ceremonial Oz-trip, from one assassination and massacre to another, with no guilty party brought to justice, ever.

After which, with feigned bewilderment, we scratch our heads at seemingly incomprehensible mysteries of iniquity confronting us: our southern border left wide open and massively invaded; a decades-long war against tribesmen in Afghanistan ending in our total defeat, and media Neocons risking a nuclear conflagration with Russia over a border war with Ukraine.

Our laziness, apathy and amnesia have created a psychic supernova that annihilates our will to think and act independently—even to procreate. Our existence in the open-air diabolist’s behavior modification laboratory is ever more transparently clear.
