ISP on SERIAL KILLERS: Charles Manson
|
|
|
|
Charles Manson. He and his cult, "The Family," together killed
|
|
seven people, bloodied and butchered. The people who he and others killed,
|
|
the Tate and LaBianca families, were wealthy and well-off. What could have
|
|
made them do such a thing without pity or remorse? Read on........
|
|
|
|
|
|
MANSON: The Man Himself
|
|
|
|
In 1954, Manson set up a commune-based cult, drawing in hippies,
|
|
drifters. and the unemployed at the Spahn Ranch, near Los Angeles. Manson
|
|
had lovely ideas and his followers or "Family" regarded him as a
|
|
Christ-like figure. They indulged in free love practices, pseudo religious
|
|
ceremonies, and used drugs such as marijuana and LSD.
|
|
|
|
The Black Panthers were a major black movement in the 1960's. After
|
|
killing a leader of this movement in self defence, Manson grew scared on
|
|
the promise of revenge from the Black Panthers. Scared, Manson ordered his
|
|
followers to practice guerrilla tactics and they did so, without question.
|
|
|
|
Manson sad he taught love because in love there is no hatred, but John
|
|
Flynn, a man who testified at his trial, testified to some very
|
|
incriminating admissions by Manson. Barbara Holt, a "Family" member, fled
|
|
the group before a raid. She later showed up as a prosecution witness, a
|
|
potential danger to Manson, so faithful members of the "Family" tried to
|
|
kill her with a hamburger laced with LSD. Before her testimony, another
|
|
"Family" member, Gary Hinman, who had also fled he group, was killed
|
|
because he had betrayed the "Family." As you can see, the punishment for
|
|
crossing the "Family" was severe.
|
|
|
|
Manson makes claims to thirty-five murders. Although he was convicted
|
|
for others, there was not enough evidence to bring him to trial for the
|
|
thirty five.
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE MOTIVE BEHIND THE MAN
|
|
|
|
The driving force behind Manson's killing was hard to prove and hard
|
|
to believe. Manson had a plan in his head. When the Beatles first
|
|
released "The White Album," it was a hit. Manson listened to it often. He
|
|
had a great devotion to the Beatles, who he believed spoke to him across
|
|
the oceans in their lyrics and songs. Manson saw the 4 Beatles as the 4
|
|
Angels that announced the ending of the world in the bible. (Armageddon)
|
|
|
|
On "The White Album" there are two song titles containing the
|
|
word revolution. These are "Revolution 1" and "Revolution 9." Manson
|
|
thought the Beatles were talking about a black/white revolution. The word
|
|
rise can be found in "Revolution 9" and could be depicted as a prediction
|
|
of a Black uprising. One song in particular, "Helter Skelter" seemed
|
|
unexceptional to the normal ear, but was given a weird interpretation by
|
|
Manson. Man saw the Blacks as stupid and felt he had to show "Blackie" the
|
|
way. His plan to kill seven wealthy white people and to blame it on the
|
|
blacks would start his plan of a black/white revolution which he called
|
|
"Helter Skelter." He attempted to frame the black people by writing "Death
|
|
to Pigs" in the victim's own blood and carving the word "war" in the
|
|
stomach of his victims. Manson denied allegations that this was the motive
|
|
behind the murders but many of Manson's followers said that Manson often
|
|
spoke of this revolution, "Helter Skelter."
|
|
|
|
Another controversial song on the album was "Sexy Sadie." It was
|
|
believed by Manson that the song foretold his murder trial when Susan
|
|
Atkins made a crucial mistake on the witness stand. She made the "Family"
|
|
appear to be murderers of the seven butchered victims while Manson felt he
|
|
was convincing the jury of their innocence. Manson believed he foresaw this
|
|
even before the trial.
|
|
|
|
THE FOLLOWERS OF MANSON:THE FAMILY
|
|
|
|
The killers of the Tate and LaBianca families now serve life in
|
|
prison. Four people, all part of the "Family" were convicted of these
|
|
murders: Charles Manson, Susan Atkins, Leslie Van Houten, and Patricia
|
|
Krenwinkle. It is interesting to see that most of the killers are women.
|
|
Another woman, Linda Kasabian, who drove the killers to the murder scene,
|
|
turned state's evidence, and literally, got away with murder. Charles
|
|
Watson was another member of Manson's group and was a Texan citizen, so he
|
|
was tried under Texan Law. The others were tried in Los Angeles. He was
|
|
also given life imprisonment. The trial, which lasted nine and one half
|
|
months, cost Los Angeles one million dollars.
|
|
|
|
Many people have wondered how these so called "normal" people could
|
|
commit such morbid crimes and show no signs of regret or remorse. Its is
|
|
suggested that Manson used threats, guilt, and partial fear to seduce these
|
|
people into doing what he wanted. Manson's followers were devoted to him,
|
|
doing whatever he wanted. They so much believed in him that they did not
|
|
question what they were doing.
|
|
|
|
THE MANSON HATE LIST
|
|
|
|
Charles Manson is said to have kept a secret list of future targets,
|
|
with graphic details of how he is going to "deal" with these people.
|
|
Prisoners who have shared jail cells with members of the "Family" testify
|
|
that this was a frequent topic of conversation among them. All individuals
|
|
on the hate list were white (suggesting that Manson would blame the blacks)
|
|
and the list seemed to deal with the rich and famous for whom Manson
|
|
invented cruel tortures. Some examples: Frank Sinatra, skinned alive,
|
|
Steve McQueen, boiled in oil, Doris Day, raped and impaled, Tom Jones,
|
|
tongue cut off, Elizabeth Taylor, breasts cut off, Richard Burton,
|
|
castrated, etc.
|
|
|
|
THE MANSON LIFE AND TRIAL
|
|
|
|
A movie, entitled "Manson" was taped prior to the trial in Los
|
|
Angeles. It was questioned if the movie gave an accurate portrayal of the
|
|
life of Manson, or if it made a mockery out of him. The information
|
|
presented in the movie is considered to be a documentation of the life of
|
|
the Manson Family. The film was taped prior to the trial and was ordered
|
|
to be removed from public viewing because it was thought to be a possible
|
|
influence on the jurors.
|
|
|
|
The Manson trial lasted nine and one half months and cost Los Angeles
|
|
tax payers one million dollars. Four people stood trial: Manson, Patricia
|
|
Krenwinkle, Leslie Van Houten, and Susan Atkins. They were all convicted of
|
|
five murders altogether. There were two other people with them on the
|
|
night of the murders. Charles Watson was a texan citizen, and was deported
|
|
to Texas to be tried under Texan law. Linda Kasabian turned state's
|
|
evidence and got away with murder. All particpants in the murders, with
|
|
the exception of Kasabian, were found guilty and were sentenced to death.
|
|
This sentence was revoked and turned into life imprisionment. There was
|
|
great concern for the possibility of the popular image of martyrdom being
|
|
assigned to Manson and his "Family."
|
|
|
|
Manson used suggestion and passive hypnotism to make his followers
|
|
answer any command of his. People did unquestioning acts of any sort, even
|
|
murder at his whim. He found the fear in people and enjoyed playing on it.
|
|
Manson's followers frequently said, "He reflects back to you what you want
|
|
to see." Manson himself said: "You are using us fpr a scapegoat, trying to
|
|
look past Nixon, and past Vietnam. I am only what your world made me."
|
|
Another quote of Manson's is: "I hate the world I live in." By the age of
|
|
thirty, he had fifty convictions against him.
|
|
|
|
Manson believed in free love and experimentation with drugs. Followers
|
|
of Manson came from all over the globe. They believed they had to go to
|
|
the desert and bring along all the children they could convince to join
|
|
the,. Children were not excluded from anything and this "freedom" appealed
|
|
to may yound people. They could participate in free secual activities,
|
|
experiment with drugs, or use guns and cars. Manson's ranch became a home
|
|
for runaways, people in trouble with they law, and hippires. Manson did
|
|
not like hippies, and he said they were just trying to be different and
|
|
were looking for trouble, hence the name he gave to them: "slippies." Girls
|
|
in Manson's "family" made a ceremonial vest that tells the life of Manson
|
|
in thread. Bruce Davis, Manson's second in command, overdosed on LSD and
|
|
was mentally and physcially disabled. On August 11, 1972, police raided
|
|
the ranch and arrested the killers for auto theft with the intention to
|
|
later convict them of the murders once they had firm evidence.
|
|
|
|
The motive was the strangest and most unbelievable thing that the
|
|
police had to deal with. Manson saw the Beatles as prophets that described
|
|
a race war between the whites and blacks. Manson planned to start this war
|
|
up by blaming the murders of members of black society. Only it didn't work
|
|
out that way. Manson planned to hide in the desert until the war ended.
|
|
Manson believed he would later have to take over because the blacks were
|
|
inexperience leaders. He called this plan Helter Skelter.
|
|
|
|
The seven deaths the "Family" were convicted of were oriented around
|
|
the rich and famous. Sharon Tate, who was eight and a half moths pregnant,
|
|
was hanged and her baby was cut out of her. She was the wife of movie
|
|
director Roman Polanski. Abigail Folger was the heiress to the vast Folger
|
|
estate and was killed along with her lover Voityck Fryowski, a famous
|
|
writer. Jay Sebring was present at this gathering because he was a former
|
|
boyfriend of Tate's.
