“Though I’m grateful for Vincent Bugliosi’s helter-skelter motive and the convictions it brought, I don’t buy into it for a second. There’s something more, some deeper motive for the killings.”
- Doris Tate, mother of Sharon Tate, from the book Restless Souls.
I have no direct evidence that someone was controlling Charlie or telling him to start HS. Even if true, I don't know how such a control would be exerted. On the other hand, there is more than enough circumstantial evidence that strongly suggests that Manson and Family were being 'managed' somehow by higher forces associated with the Government.
--The unusual nature of Charlie's PO in San Francisco
Somehow Charlie was assigned to Dr. Roger Smith, the world's most educated and overqualified parole officer, known for his lenient- to- non-existent supervision, and who apparently never had any other parolee to supervise other than Charlie. His next job was to manage the "Amphetamine Research Project" run out of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic.
Dr. Roger Smith, aka "Jubal"
--The Researchers
The Family was a 'research' subject by the National Institute of Mental Health, via the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic, while up in the Haight, at Spahn, and at Barker, whose researchers, while following the Family around, apparently didn't notice all the crimes being committed by the group. And who were apparently never of interest to the investigators or Bugliosi, as there is no known interview of them.
--A 'Hands-off' policy on Charlie and Family before TLB
A poster on another forum neatly encapsulated the evidence:
http://www.lsb3.com/search?q=A+Review+of+Spahn+Ranch+Raid+Documents
poster LynyrdSkynyrdBand April 5, 2013
...it seems perplexing that the Family could continue to function with so many of the group already known to, and wanted by, various branches of authorities.
The 16 August raid would net: Lutesinger - wanted for questioning regarding a recent murder. Grogan - an escapee from a local mental institution placed there after being charged with exposing himself to children (also with three recent arrests for Grand Theft Auto).
Good(e)- recently freed earlier that week on a charge of fraud. Manson - on federal parole, who had recently been questioned regarding separate assault, rape and murder investigations, and in addition was already on three years parole for his 28 July 1967 conviction for interfering with a police officer... Atkins - who was placed on probation after her 22 June 1968 drug possession (then and at the raid giving the same alias), and after her 30 September 1966 conviction for possessing a concealed weapon, she was also given parole for receiving and concealing stolen property before being extradited back to California to face federal charges of interstate transportation of stolen vehicles. DeCarlo was awaiting the appeal of his 1967 conviction and sentencing to five years for importing 11kg of marijuana across the USA-Mexican border in 1966, as well as an assault charge for his and Manson’s attack on DeCarlo’s wife, and the illegal registration of a fire-arm.
"It's like Manson had God on his side when all these things are going down, or else somebody was watching every move he made, somebody was controlling from behind the scenes. Somebody saw that no parole hold was placed. .. somebody very high up was controlling everything that was going on and was seeing to it that we didn't bust Manson."
--Preston Guillory, ex-LASO Deputy who participated in the Spahn Ranch raid
One could also add the curious, unexplained failure of the Crowe homicide detectives to quickly implicate Charlie, and the curious, unexplained failure of the Hinman homicide detectives to go to Spahn to investigate.
Manson himself seems to have been aware of his 'special' status when he was released:
Charles Manson Now, by Marlin Marynick
pg12of155
"So, I go outside, and I go over to the music and the Grateful Dead is playing, and they put me on the witness program. Not because I snitched on somebody or betrayed a trust. ...but they've got me on the Federal Witness program. They say, "Leave this man alone, do not put him in jail in any direction whatsoever, he's the devil, and we can't control him, and we can't whip him, we can't beat him." "
pg35of155
"I was on the witness program, the State of California should of never bothered me. They should have stood down off of me. I didn't have anything to do with that, that wasn't my play. .. What happened there wasn't my play, it wasn't in my lane."
If Charlie thought he had immunity, either real or imagined, how might this have influenced Charlie in his decision to commit the life crimes?
--Intelligence operatives around the TLB case
There seem to be a large proportion of intelligence agents/covert operators associated with TLB:
Ed Butler CIA
Propagated an op-ed piece in August 1969 titled “Did Hate Kill Tate,” in which he eerily presaged public awareness of Charlie's own Helter Skelter philosophy by blaming the deaths on the Black Panthers, even throwing in a reference to the Beatles. He had previously recorded Lee Harvey Oswald before the JFK assassination to paint him as a Castro sympathizer..Los Angeles County District Attorney Evelle Younger ex-FBI, ex-OSS, Air Force Reserve Intel
Los Angeles County Sheriff Peter Pitchess ex-FBI
Prosecuting Attorney Bugliosi Army Intel?
(We know he was in the Army, but try to find out what his military occupational specialty was.)
Lt Col Paul Tate Army Intel
I'm NOT suggesting he was involved, but the fact remains he was an intel guy.
Manson Family Documentarian Laurence Merrick(born Le'ev Lahav) ex-IDF, Mossad?
http://murdersofaugust69.freeforums.net/thread/1330/israel-manson-vampirism-freaky-merrick
Private Investigator Reeve Whitson CIA?
-Excerpt from Sharon Tate - A Life by Ed Sanders
"Hatami told me he has no memory at all of Manson coming to the front door of Cielo Drive, but that the memory was suggested to him by an investigator named Reeve Whitson, who worked for both Col. Paul Tate and the prosecutor Vince Bugliosi."
The only reference to a Reeve Whitson online is to a CIA operative active in central America in the '80s.
LAPD James Jarrett ex-Special Forces, CIA
Sinister spook/provacateur hovering around the edges of the TLB case. May have been the source of the stolen "case of grenades" to be used in an alleged escape attempt by Charlie towards the end of the trial.
http://murdersofaugust69.freeforums.net/thread/1128/1969-black-panther-timeline-relevance
--The Role of the FBI in the investigation
There was a small FBI file on Manson, consisting mostly of newspaper clippings, which basically seems to proclaim that the FBI wasn't interested in the case, but there is evidence the Feds were far more involved than they are saying:
-Statement by Millie McCormack, secretary in the Inyo County District Attorney's Office when Charlie and Family were arrested at Barker: "Once an F.B.I. agent was showing her how he drew his gun from the holster."
-Statement of Becky Binion, saying the FBI came into her father's Las Vegas casino to seize a photo of the Family taken there.
http://murdersofaugust69.freeforums.net/search/results?captcha_id=captcha_search&what_all=Binion&who_only_made_by=0&display_as=0&search=Search
-Statement by Debra Tate that she was interviewed by the FBI.
-Message In A Shampoo Bottle By Mary Tannen
"After the killings, the police and the F.B.I. went to see Torrenueva (hairstylist in Sebring's salon)."
http://www.mansonblog.com/2016/02/charles-manson.html
Robert Hendrickson:
"I would like to add: It is entirely possible that the Manson Family was infiltrated by the F.B.I.
AND that Helter Skelter was influenced by same. YOU only have do some research into the F.B.I.s dealings with the Black Panthers to understand just how far the F.B.I. would go and MURDER was NOT a stop sign. It might also explain WHY Col Tate's hands were TIED."
--The Motive: Killing the Counterculture
Cui Bono?
When solving a murder, one of the things investigators asked themselves is 'Cui Bono'-who benefits from this crime? The only beneficiaries of TLB(other than home alarm companies and gun shops) were those in the establishment who wanted to demonize and neutralize the threat from the counter-culture, which arose as potent reaction to the Vietnam War. And the CIA, of course, are the "go to" guys when conducting covert psy ops to make it happen.
OPERATION CHAOS The CIA's War Against the Sixties Counter-Culture
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_CHAOS
Operation CHAOS... was the code name (CIA cryptonym) for an American domestic espionage project conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency from 1967 to 1974, established by President Johnson and expanded under President Nixon...
And, by all accounts, it worked:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/aug/02/charles-manson-linda-kasabian-polanski
The 1960s, the decade of love, came to an abrubt and bloody end when Charles Manson's 'family' murdered actress Sharon Tate and her friends. ... They were the murders that ended the 1960s, the decade of love, in a bloodbath that shocked the world.
--"The Manson murders sounded the death knell for hippies and all they symbolically represented," Bugliosi told the Observer last week. "They closed an era. The 60s, the decade of love, ended on that night, on 9 August 1969."
INTERVIEWS WITH BOBBY BEAUSOLEIL 1998-9 By Michael Moynihan for Seconds Magazine
Q: These people had been freaked out about the entire youth culture for years, and aside from maybe a few drug casualties or a few minor incidents, they didn't have anything which they could really trot out in order to show how terrible this all was—and now they did.
A: Well, exactly. They were looking for that thing that could be used to hurt the movement, or to put it to bed, to rest—to kill it essentially. They wanted to kill the youth movement, and the Manson cases were ideally suited for that. If any one event can be said to represent the end of the counter-culture movement, it was that event. It was used as a tombstone, in a social context. It marks where the youth movement of the '60s was buried. It's really a tragic thing.
Can the "Helter Skelter," "Drug Burn," or "Copycat" theories of motive explain the curious facts of this case? No, but the CIA theory can. That's why I believe in it.

Preston was disgruntled and had little to do with Manson and company other than the aug 16th raid.
I normally don't buy into conspiracy theories but the Manson case does leave me wondering about what it is that "the man" doesn't want us to know. This post fits right in with my post about an FOIA request I made to get Susan Atkins FBI file.
http://www.mansonblog.com/2014/05/freedom-of-information-my-ass.html
Nice job Starviego!
So, now the CIA is to blame?
PS- the CIA didn’t seed the clouds at Woodstock either.
The CIA is responsible for foreign threats and would likely have little to do with the MF except to the extent there is some foreign connection. The State, County, Municipal & Natural Guard agencies & units would have greater interest followed by the FBI. Then each wing of the military has their own intelligence group but I don't think they are part of this conspiracy.
Each enforcement/intelligence agency has their own turf to defend but sometimes there is cross-over. Also and especially back then they didn't always share information (job security).
Great write up but I didn't see anything compelling me to lean toward this particular right wing conspiracy. Presented are opinions and "ex-" various agency people, also with opinions.
I think it's important to remember that back then communications were a fraction of that today -- no cells, Pc's, 24/7 news. Local law enforcement had their hands full with many things going on -- the MF was just very occasionally monitored while frying bigger fish. The FBI was looking for serious threats, not maybe's or could be's.
The 'counter-culture' was really insignificant compared to the war, poverty, the commies and the economy. I know the FBI & Co. were far more interested in racial tensions and the Panthers (and clearly murdered at least one of their leaders).
I feel the domestic agencies "dabbled" in the youth cultures of that time primarily to monitor what was going on and even occasionally meddling but not really trying to change or sabotage anything. But it is a conspiracy that should be placed in the conspiracy bag with possibilities regardless of probabilities while waiting for further (and more solid) proof.
Again, thanks for the write-up Starviego.
No the CIA was not behind it.
NEXT
If Infowars claims Manson was an MK Ultra operative, then it um...er....must be true?
It seems crazy to think that the CIA would be involved but...
In Canada in the late 80/90's CSIS placed agent Grant Bristow in with the local white power groups. At that time those groups were not very organized and funded, but after Grant's arrival there was organization and funding. White power grew until CSIS' scheme was exposed.
So never put it past the government.
Robert C said..."The 'counter-culture' was really insignificant compared to the war, poverty, the commies and the economy. I know the FBI & Co. were far more interested in racial tensions and the Panthers (and clearly murdered at least one of their leaders)."
👏👏👏My thoughts exactly
Chanel said: So never put it past the government.
US agency most likely to do that and other 'ultra' things would be the NSA (National Security Agency).
Super Major Top Secret -- originally tasked with collecting and disseminating information - later developed a covert operations element .... maybe.

Plus they were bogged down in the hugely complex “Louie, Louie” investigation of 1964, which stretched FBI resources to the limit:
http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-fbi-laboratory-weighs-in-on-the-dirty-lyrics-of-louie-louie
...the FBI launched a formal investigation in 1964 into the supposedly pornographic lyrics of the song “Louie, Louie.” ... the United States Department of Justice began receiving letters like the one addressed to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and dated January 30, 1964. “Who do you turn to when your teen age daughter buys and brings home pornographic or obscene materials being sold…in every City, Village and Record shop in this Nation?” ...
Over the course of the next two years, the FBI gathered many versions of the putative lyrics to Louie Louie. They interviewed the man who wrote the song and officials of the record label that released the Kingsmen’s smash-hit single. They turned the record over to the audio experts in the FBI laboratory, who played and re-played “Louie Louie” at 78 rpm, 45 rpm, 33 1/3 rpm and even slower speeds in an effort to determine whether it was pornographic ...
Hoover played the song over and over, trying to find hidden messages. Like Charlie played the White Album over and over, trying to find hidden messages.
OO-ee-OO!
Starviego said: "Plus they were bogged down in the hugely complex “Louie, Louie” investigation of 1964, which stretched FBI resources to the limit"
Yes, taken as a whole law enforcement and investigation were not ready for the late 60's & early 70's. Cops back then still wore a shirt with tie and pressed trousers with maybe a snub-nosed .38 cal in their holster -- nothing like the comic book paramilitary goons of today with their armor & velcro bling.
I remember the "Louie, Louie" caper ... I was in what was called junior high school and we all snickered, but the song was extremely popular and they would have had a large scale riot had they arrested the Kingsmen so, as I recall, it passed pretty quickly. Also, I don't remember the adults at the time giving it all much notice.
But as General Jack D. Ripper might have said, the FBI needed to be forever both vigilant and observant over communist influences that may attempt to threaten the very essence of our precious bodily fluids !!!
Taking anything seriously that comes out of Bobby Beausoleil's mouth is like using a quote from Donald Duck. Interesting post, however....
The end of the sixties didn't bring an end to huge anti-war protests
Did you even read what Operation Chaos was? It was not about "destroying the counterculture". It was about investigating possible contact and collusion with foreign countries (Soviet Union, Cuba, etc.) or see if they were being used as unwitting dupes. Unless they suspected the Family was being trained for gorilla combat in Cuba, you can rule that one out easily.
There is always the official version, and there is an unofficial version. A lot of CIA dirty dealings are hidden behind such terms as 'espionage' and 'counterintelligence.' Spies do a lot more than spy. 'Wet' operations are a reality.

LtCol Tate had friends in the FBI? Did he work them as an Army Counterintelligence agent?
RESTLESS SOULS Brie Tate
Patti: "Earlier that morning he'd (PJ) gone to Holy Cross with five of his friends from the FBI to set up a protection perimeter for our arrival. Along with providing protection, their other purpose was to look for suspects."
It is not a big secret that there was an FBI investigation from the very start of the TLB murders and yes, even before. They were involved in the drug angle of the case.
The real reason Dennis Wilson moved out of his home was because they all knew the feds were onto the drug dealing going on there with Watson, Moorehouse and the others.
Susan Atkins was involved in a drug ring in SF that operated behind a front of being leftist radicals (anyone who has read her first book knows this). Kasabian was busted in a raid.
The fact is, even before a lot of these people met Charlie, they were on the radar of feds and it all had to do with dope.
https://carvercantin.com/short-history-fbi-cointelpro/
By the mid-1970’s Senate and House committees launched formal and lengthy inquiries into government intelligence and covert activities. These investigations revealed extensive covert and illegal counterintelligence programs involving the FBI, CIA, U.S. Army intelligence, the White House, the Attorney General, and even local and state law enforcement... (maybe even the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department?)
Is it possible that Counterintelligence specialist LtCol Tate was involved in such activities? And if so, would that be more than coincidence?
Did Paul Tate even have contacts in the CIA? A source I quoted in this thread comes to mind:
-Excerpt from Sharon Tate - A Life by Ed Sanders
"Hatami told me he has no memory at all of Manson coming to the front door of Cielo Drive, but that the memory was suggested to him by an investigator named (possible CIA agent)Reeve Whitson, who worked for both Col. Paul Tate and the prosecutor Vince Bugliosi."
.
Col. Tate was Naval Intelligence. His having contacts within the CIA is not unbelievable, but not exactly relevant.
I'm of the opinion that both Col. Tate and Peter J. Folger found out or at least had a good idea of exactly what happened and why the murders happened. It was in fact Col. Tate who was the first person to reveal that Jay Sebring was the "Candy Man to all of Hollywood". I suspect a large part of the animosity between the Tate and Folger Family has to do with Peter J. Folger working to obstruct the investigation as to why they happened while Tate was trying to find out such information.
There is clear evidence that Folger had a word with many of the early suspects, such as Billy Doyle, PRIOR to the Police sat down with them.
I always enjoy your posts, Starviego. Thank you. A wtf moment for me in The Family was when Sanders tells us that Smith and his wife becomes the temporary foster parents for Mary's baby after the Mendocino arrests.
The CIA doesn’t have the number of assets that people believe they have. Most employees aren’t operational, they are analysts. In fact, the smallest segment of the CIA is the operational arm. To think that they would be involved at the Manson Family level is rather Tom Clancy-esq.
I’m sure that the agency did some collecting on the counter culture and as already mentioned, likely with violent activists to see if there were any ties to the KGB- how were they being funded/resourced/etc. I’m sure collecting was done on the major players of the counter culture- psychotropic drug introduction, SDS, Black Panthers, anti war event organizers, etc.
The intelligence community is also very compartmentalized. A naval intelligence officer doesn’t just call his CIA analyst buddy and get dirt on someone. Those programs are special access and one has to be “read on” to the program to even know its existence. Couple that, with communications of the time such as unsecure landline phones and written secret documents carried by hand in diplomatic pouches etc- and you can see how hard it would be for Col. Tate to get any intel, even if he’s “cleared” to the level of classification of the information he was seeking.
Remember too, in 1969, the CIA was consumed with operations in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. They didn’t have resources to send operational people out to Death Valley to collect on a bunch of dirty hippies.

Huh? He was in the Army.

What animosity?
I enjoyed reading this post and the debate that follows. That said conspiracy theories like this always remind of the Underwear Gnomes. There seems to be a chain of evidence missing between former intel geek and the answer to the question posed in the title.
You can get a glimmer of the FBI’s interest in the Manson-Hinman/Shea trial: guns.
Starviego said: "The FBI doesn't do drug investigations They leave that to the DEA."
DEA was formed in 1973 -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_Enforcement_Administration
Starviego responded: [MM said: "Col. Tate was Naval Intelligence."] -- "Huh? He was in the Army."
If Tate was in the Navy he'd be a Captain ? (Navy Captain = Army Colonel).
Starviego,
Interesting. I have been walking around my city, pondering this motive and post for a few days. Not sure I'm sold thay it happened to end flower power but I am amazed at all the research. What makes you think they chose Charlie Manson? The CIA had no idea he'd be able to acquire a following.
I meant at the time the CIA was plotting it all out...why Charlie?
I can only speculate as to why they used Charlie. It's possible they recognized his special talents while he was in prison. One thing is certain--they got the right man for the job (if you believe in my theory).
Some people who study mind control or Mk/Ultra claim that at some point the CIA stopped direct research into this area and began to outsource their efforts to the 'cults.' And certainly you can call the Family a cult.
One is given the impression that Charlie's traveling around on the bus with the Family was kind of an ad hoc thing, but it may instead have been planned back when Charlie was in prison.
Patricia Krenwinkel 2016 Parole Hearing Transcript
INMATE KRENWINKEL: Billy Green -- he had done time with Manson in TI... ... but prior to even leaving with Manson, I talked to Billy Green and he had said.. Manson and I, we used to plan on getting a bus and just traveling the United States with some gals and have a good time. ..
I thought Charlie wanted to pursue a musical career when he got out? This kind of implies Charlie had already made plans to put together a 'family' before he got out of the Can. What else did he have planned?
Starviego,
IF your theory is correct, no wonder Charlie was pissed for the last 49 years. He sure got the raw end of the deal with the CIA.

"If Infowars claims Manson was an MK Ultra operative, then it um...er....must be true?"
Here is what Jones had to say about Manson on a recent program:
https://youtu.be/Ph6NH2eSoe4
2:00 "Manson was a part of a CIA mind control program ... he was a big man for the CIA who was delivering the drugs into the circles to begin the mind control operations."
4:20 " ...Charles Manson was inducted into a higher level DARPA(Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) mind control program and inserted into the highest level of rock and roll, movies... he knew all the major folk .... and was delivering large amounts of pure, weapons-grade LSD to campuses all over California. Then the wind-up toy either went off the rails or was ordered to carry out the murders ... but he was CIA, 100%.
7:40 "Charles Manson was jealous of the cult above him... he was getting kicked out of that cult. They weren't being nice to him anymore, and so what did he do, he went and killed their high priestess .. their goddess, who they thought was the number one woman in the Hollywood cult of Roman Polanski and others...."
OO-ee-OO!
Cui Bono. I've been preaching that for years and have tried to apply it directly to the drug burn theory. If Voytek was trying to set himself up to be the biggest supplier of MDA in SoCal, then who would he have been threatening? After August 1969 who became the biggest supplier of MDA in SoCal? Who?
Some more random thoughts: great post and great comments.
We must stop with info wars and Restless Souls however.
Cops are lazy, just like everyone else. One or two of them would have had to act like they do on tv, where somebody sees one thing which leads to another and then wants to make all of the connections. Even today with all the new tech the cops miss alot as proven by recent events.
My hyperbole for the day: The Tate-LaBianca murders may well indeed have ended the Youth Movement on a large scale here in the USA. But the 60s didn't truly end until April 30, 1975.
Starship Patty has always believed that this is the key.
Ed Sanders book softly brought up the notion that the government was involved in one way or another. I brought up the fact in another thread that Manson was known to attend the Esalen institute as did Folgers and process founder Robert de Grimston. The founder of Esalen has ties to government intelligence. I honestly don't believe Manson was part of anything only a willing dupe. Remember this case was portrayed as "the family" being drugged out hippies when Manson himself stated he hated hippies. It was used by the media to discredit a lot of real life protesting that was happening at the time.

Most of you people respond like a citizen. That's what stumps you. Think like a government agency and maybe you can put the pieces together just like the JFK assassination. But most people want to sweep things under the rug because they can't cope with the idea that their own government killed our then President.
If you look at the opportunity a group had to supposedly convince Mr. Spahn to work his ranch for him, (I don't believe it) to have the isolation to do whatever they needed to do and then kill people in a remote location that most of us couldn't even find in the Tate murders. It was more than planned. It was orchestrated. Operation CHAOS was real and pinning it on this is conjecture, but still needs to be considered.
Understand one thing, the CIA experimented on a lot of things no different than the Nazi's. Their focus is propaganda and chemical warfare. To say that the CIA doesn't work on domestic soil, "because of the rules" makes you an ignorant fool.
One of the pieces that nobody ever talks about is Squeaky Frohm. How does she go to Manson connection to Presidential assassin? Detectives work off this kind of information and make deductions. It makes perfect sense to reasonably believe in the possibility that the government was involved with the Manson family.
Oddly enough, Netflix produced a wildly boring fictional series on the Manson family and it so happens to demonstrate connections.
I don't know anything about Charlie's PO but that would be the funnel into the idea of a relationship with them.
Either way, if you don't have an open mind about this, you are just a fool who refuses to be in search of truth. The CIA has done many things you need to account for in your little mind.
This is no different. Maybe some day more information will be released to tie the CIA with the Mason family and Spahn Ranch.

Because he was well known as a Buddhist, the FBI investigated the meeting-place where Gary(Hinman) took me that first time to see if there may have been a larger conspiracy.

Steve's contracts always contained clauses that were strictly McQueen. ... we had to pay for periodic trims by Jay Sebring, the hot men's hair stylist of the time. Sebring lived in L.A. Actually, the contract gave us a break in the barbering department by saying that, in a pinch, Steve would accept the services of a hair stylist who was "equally as good as Jay Sebring." ... Jay was one of the victims in the Charles Manson gang killings at Sharon Tate's home in L.A. The FBI questioned me because I had visited Jay the week before on his Sausalito houseboat.
Charlie talking about his 'get out of jail free' card:

...following the murders "she(Krenny) was always fearful that they would be arrested for what they had done, but 'Charlie said nobody could touch us.' "
I’m enjoying the new details and theories and comparisons in Tom O’Neils book called Chaos, Charles Manson, the CIA and the Secret History of the Sixties. Years later he has an interesting viewpoint developed over 20 plus years of research and interviews.
O'Neill came up with another name:
https://youtu.be/j56wRSZ8NSI
1:35:00 mark
Person named Paul Rohan was working for CIA, in charge of finding out why some people were more impacted by LSD in changing the personality. He lived in a complex of bungalows at the foot of Topanga Canyon favored by the bohemian set, and handed out LSD to the people living there. Tex lived there at the same time. Paul Rohan was interviewed by the LAPD in reference to TLB at the time, because he lived next to Watson(before Tex started hanging with the Family).
Another name:
Dr. Jolyon West and Roger Smith wern't the only Feds who hung around the HAFMC while Charlie was there. US Army Chemical Warfare specialist LtCol. Jim Ketchum, whose area of expertise was the use of LSD, THC, and other drugs as 'incapacitating agents,' also paid a visit:
www.amazon.com/Chemical-Warfare-Secrets-Almost-Forgotten/dp/1424300800/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Chemical+warfare+secrets+almost+forgotten&qid=1606336508&s=books&sr=1-2
With freedom hitherto never experienced, Ketchum wore civilian clothes and had virtually no one to report to, remaining free to pursue his own educational goals. Meanwhile, The "Summer of Love" was in full swing in San Francisco, and Ketchum worked one night a week pro bono at Dr. David Smith's "Free Clinic". There, He gained experience treating people freaked out from excessive doses or bad trips on LSD, PCP etc. .. Ketchum also provided psychotherapy to a few young people* at the Clinic. They had no idea that he was doing chemical warfare research for the Army**. Eventually, however, he sadly had to break the news that he was a lieutenant colonel, returning to Edgewood(Arsenal) to resume his chemical research.

*"psychotherapy to a few young people" Is 'psychotherapy' a euphemism for mind control programming, and is 'a few young people' a euphemism for members of the Family?
**The implication is that his visits to the HAFMC were part of this 'chemical warfare research,' and not just volunteer work done out of the goodness of his heart.
And at Esalen, there are yet more spooks:
--Esalen co-founder Richard Price, who majored in psychology while in college, then went into the Air Force and was stationed at Lackland AFB near San Antonio, at the same time CIA-connected mind-control researcher Jolly West was there (in 1954). What are the chances that the psychologist and the psychiatrist on that base knew each other?
--"Dr. John Lilly was a resident of Esalen in the summer of 1969. He claimed through his (NIMH sponsored)research that it was possible to create "push button human agents" through manipulation with isolation tanks, drug therapy, electronic stimulation and auto-suggestion." -Paul Hart

MR. STENE: May I point out to the court that Danny DeCarlo is a veteran of the Coast Guard, honorably discharged — served four years.
DEFENDANT DANNY DeCARLO:
Top secret clearance, your honor.
Another one: Charles Winans

Four months later, when pictures of accused Manson Family murderers appeared in the news, Louise James recognized Tex Watson as a visitor at the Winans house.(near Carmel in early '69-- Watson rejoined the Family in February or March of 1969)
Susan Atkins met Charles Winans through Tex Watson. According to Atkins, Winans supplied the dope to the Manson Family.
--She(James) recognized some of the women from the Manson Family, and Charles Watson specifically, over at Charles Winans’s home, her next-door neighbor.
...In the summer of 1967, Charles... left San Antonio and again moved to Hollywood, where Charles associated professionally with some of the most celebrated names in rock and roll.
...The Winans family spent several months at the Log Cabin in Laurel Canyon, ...close friend, Richard Williams.
--“Charles started the first “head shop” in South Texas in 1966 in the front room of his art gallery (Gramma’s Tea House: San Antonio). …. Charles also created The Electric Kiss Light Show at the Mind’s Eye night club in San Antonio in 1966.”
(It sounds like he was being “sheep dipped” in San Antonio before being reassigned to the West Coast.)
--Mae Brussell
... in my neighborhood a man moved in from Texas. He was dressed as a hippie, but he wasn’t a hippie. .. A non-hippie from Texas, he lived here for about one or two years, walking down the coast, going the music scene. And he wrote, just prior to the Sharon Tate murders, that, “…the hippies would have made it…” — this is what Henry Kaiser published — “…would have made it if, number one: they had a sense of humor. And number two: they weren’t so violent.
--According to Brussell, Winans was the Manson Family’s main drug supplier. After the murders, Winans, “. . . cut his hair, put his shoes back on . . .” and returned to the Monterey Language School, setting aside his hippie guise, which had served its purpose.
Krassner said that he went to the California Institute of Women(in '73) and interviewed a trio of convicted Manson killers: Leslie Van Houten, Susan Atkins, and Patricia Krenwinkel.
Krassner: When I asked about Charles Winans, Susan Atkins replied, “Oh, yeah, Tex took me to sleep with him. And he gave us dope.”
--Krassner wrote that Winans works in “Naval intelligence,” and that he was “an agent provocateur, who had posed as a hippie artist” and who “orchestrated the scenario of violence and witchcraft” that led to the killings in Los Angeles at Sharon Tate’s home and the killing of Mr. and Mrs. LaBianca.

Paul Hart says:
November 12, 2021
I spoke to two of Winans’ friends and his third wife. After working with Air Force (not Naval) Intelligence (ISR unit) as a Cryptological linguistic and signal communications officer… Winans was reassigned to a secret “behavior modification” research program for Air Force intelligence. Cryptologic linguists for the Air Force trained at two locations… Lackland AFB in San Antonio and the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA. That’s why Winans was in Monterey. The institute was open to intelligence officers from all branches of the military.
Dianne Lake experiencing voice-into-brain technology?
New York Times, Nov 11, 1970 Dianne Lake trial testimony
A key witness in the Tate‐La Bianca murder trial admitted under cross‐examination today that she hears voices... . When questioned.. as to what the voices said, she replied, “They say that this, is Charles Manson speaking” She said that it did, not sound like Manson's voice but that it: said it was him and would give her orders.
Miss Lake... said that she first began hear ing voices while she was on an LSD trip nearly three years ago. [So just about the time she joined the Family.]
