I was never that into Manson, but picked this up at the store on a whim and found it pretty captivating. Doesn't waste time mythologizing him (nor does O'Neill make any concrete hypotheses), but goes into some incredibly well-researched detail regarding MKUltra and the CIA's interest in using Haight-Ashbury at the peak of hippie culture to perform "field research" in testing the possibility of mind control with combinations of LSD and amphetamines.

There's a lot of irrefutable evidence that Manson was on the radar of the FBI / CIA for a while before the Tate-LaBianca murders and that they seemed to have a vested interest in keeping him on the street despite innumerable parole violations that should have landed him behind bars.

Highly recommended.

If you're interested in an exhaustively detailed analysis of some major (but subtle) discrepancies in the 9/11 narrative, I highly recommend checking out THIS archived series of posts from the mostly-abandoned "Lets Roll" forums by a user named "loopDloop."

In some ways, this information is so mundane and the analysis so deep that it can verge on tedious. But I highly recommend sticking with it, as the image it reveals by the end casts irrefutable doubt on the "official" 9/11 narrative by illustrating how it was shaped and edited from the get-go.

In my opinion, this is the most compelling evidence of the 9/11 conspiracy.
