Charles Manson, MKUltra and Louis Jolyon West

(This blog was begun the night of August 16, 2019 and completed the following afternoon)

I don't have a movie review tonight because I watched Episode Six of Spielberg's "Taken" instead. It's an amazing show, a ten part, fifteen hour miniseries that has many many threads and is way too complex for me to detail, which is why I haven't been writing about it. I think I did give a synopsis of the first two episodes, but then the storyline branched out too far for me to continue. All I can say is that if you are a fan of Alien Abduction stories (which I normally am not), or if you are interested in the Roswell story (now that's more like it) or Aliens in general (ditto) and the possibility that hybrids may already be living among us, then this is the show for you. It does get a little bit soap opera-y (pronounced "Opera - ee") in places, and you wish Spielberg......um, wait a sec, let me turn the italics off.....you wish Spielberg would reign in some of his "human condition" tendencies to concentrate on the secret military aspect of the tale, but that's a small quibble. It's a pretty awesome show, and 17 years old now, at that. Give it a view if you are so inclined. Spielberg won't let you down.

Since I don't have a movie, I'd like to write instead about the book I've just finished, "Chaos : Manson, the CIA and the Secret History of the Sixties" by Tom O'Neil. I mentioned in an earlier blog that I was being blown away by what I was reading in the book, and now that I have finished, I think it is certain that Vincent Bugliosi's "Helter Skelter" theory was not simply erroneous but was deliberately fabricated, and that it was fabricated to cover up a far more sinister set of complications behind the Manson murders - i.e., that they were the result of an MKUltra experiment gone wrong (or perhaps "gone right", as one Federal Agent put it in the book).

Before I go into a tirade - and I may not even do so tonight if I become too tired - I'd like to ask you to consider something. Have you ever heard of Dr. Josef Mengele, the "Angel Of Death" of Auschwitz? Indeed you might have heard of him, for he is well known in history as a diabolical person. Have you ever heard of Shiro Ishii? He was the Japanese equivalent of Mengele, a doctor who during WW2 worked out of a facility called Unit 731 that studied the offensive potentials of biological warfare, a new prospect at the time. His studies utilized human guinea pigs in the same way as did Josef Mengele, in a vicious and amoral method. If you read about his experiments, you may think him even worse, if such a subjective conclusion was possible between two monsters such as these men.

And now that I have asked you if you have heard of Drs. Mengele and Ishii, I would like to ask you if you've ever heard of Sidney Gottlieb? I'm not sure if he had a doctorate in anything, but he was a chemist and a scientist who came to work for the CIA and to eventually create and head up their MKUltra  program, which was carried out in the strictest secrecy.

If you research Sidney Gottlieb (beyond phoney baloney propaganda on Wikipedia and the like), and if  you read enough books on the extent of the MKUltra project, you will have no choice, unless you are an unresolved equivocator, than to conclude that Sidney Gottlieb was America's own Dr. Mengele or Dr. Ishii - a sociopath who saw human beings as objects. With MkUltra, he created a project that would study the effects of mind control on unwitting subjects, using techniques like hypnosis and surreptitiously administered drugs like LSD. You'd have to study the subject yourself, for it is far too involved for me to thoroughly describe in a blog, but you can trust me when I tell you that if you were to research Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA's project of MKUltra, you would hardly be able to come to any other conclusion than that Gottlieb was a monster on the same level as Mengele and Ishii.

My point is that you would have to conclude, if you were being honest with yourself, that we here in America have had diabolical and inhuman sadists - monsters is the correct term - operating under the guise and protection of governmental "research", who have been every bit as cruel and evil as the despicable monster scientists we have catalogued and abhorred from Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan.

They have had the historically recorded Mengele and Ishii. We have had Sidney Gottlieb. The difference is that we as a nation have yet to acknowledge his crimes. Gottlieb is not yet in the history books as a psychopath, though hopefully he is on his way. Joining him, one also hopes, will be another monster named Louis Jolyon West.

West was a psychiatrist who began his career in the Air Force. Eventually he came to work for the CIA as part of the MKUltra mind control program. Author Tom O'Neil did extensive research on West, and has documented proof, written in West's own words, that he had developed the ability to implant false memories in subjects, and to create secondary personalities (i.e. "split" personalities) in people, using drugs like LSD and other hallucinogenics, combined with hypnotism.


In his career, "Jolly" West examined Jack Ruby, who "went insane" after their meeting while Ruby was in jail for killing Lee Harvey Oswald. After being examined by West, Ruby was no longer coherent and was no longer of any use as a witness for either the prosecution or defense in his case. In other words, whatever he knew about a conspiracy to kill JFK, he could no longer tell it.

"Jolly" West also examined Sirhan Sirhan, a more or less proven Manchurian Candidate, and finally he examined Timothy McVeigh as well. For an excellent and thoroughly researched book on the OKC Bombing case, I highly recommend reading "Aberration In The Heartland Of The Real : The Secret Lives Of Timothy McVeigh" by Wendy Painting. If you read this book, you will see just what kind of human experimentation secret agencies in this country are capable of.

Was McVeigh a Manchurian Candidate? Read the book and decide for yourself. I know what my answer is.

Which brings us to the case of Charles Manson.

Was he ever examined by Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West? We know that one aim of the MKUltra program was to create mindless killers who could be programmed to kill on command. We also know that LSD experimentation for the purpose of mind control was one of the main goals of the CIA in it's MKUltra program. In his book "Chaos" (et al), Tom O'Neil has researched Manson's activities in the year 1967, from the day he was paroled from Federal prison in March of that year. Manson immediately headed for San Francisco, even though traveling away from Los Angeles County was a violation of his parole.

Manson would be treated with unheard of leniency throughout his 2 1/2 years of freedom between his parole and his re-arrest in October 1969 for the Tate murders. During that time he committed multiple crimes, that not only his parole officer was aware of, but also the District Attorney of more than one county and detectives from both the LAPD and LA County Sheriff's Office.

Why was Charles Manson treated with kid gloves by these law enforcement agencies?

Could it be that he was under the supervision of the CIA?

And was he ever in contact with "Jolly" West, the Agency's top shrink?

There is circumstantial evidence to suggest the possibility, but that is all I have time to relate to you now, because I have to head back to Pearl's. I will try to finish up my thoughts on the matter this evening. See you then.  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo  :):)
