The Truth About Charles Manson
YouTube ^ | Nov 23, 2017 | Stefan Molyneux

Posted on 11/23/2017 7:26:44 PM PST by Arthur McGowan

On November 19th, 2017, the infamous Manson family cult leader Charles Manson died at the age of 83. While discussing the Manson Family provokes flashbacks to the gruesome murders in August 1969 by Manson’s followers, very few people examine the backstory which leads to these types of tragedies. You cannot understand Charles Manson as an adult without understanding what happened to him in his childhood. What is the truth about Charles Manson?

Charles Manson was the byproduct of the television age.

>>His life story shows what it’s like to be a fatherless son of a whore.

Barack Hussein Obama went all the way to the White House.

And yeah, he still had daddy issues.

I doubt that Manson “discovered” LSD through his connection to the Beach Boys.

SF was awash with LSD (which was ‘legal’ then and pharmaceutical industry produced) when Manson was living there before heading down to LA.

And Timothy Leary was among those experimenting on prisoners with LSD in the early 60s.

“Charles Manson was the byproduct of the television age.”

Born in 1933, I doubt they had a TV in the house before he left home...in, what, 1951?

Stefan Moyleneux just did a 1 hour 38 minute podcast on this very subject. What a horrible childhood that guy had. It just further proves what we already know to be true. Single mom whores raise children that go to jail.

“Bite me.”

Thank you for your factual, cogent, tightly-argued response.

This kind of high intellectual level in discussion is how Western Civilization advances in knowledge and virtue.

You are a credit to the conservative movement and this forum.

Probably deserves more sympathy than he’ll get - nobody sees the tortured child when the adult product goes berserk...

You get spanking confused with beatings. I haven’t read this story but still remember my mother’s shock at Manson’s childhood. Still, many children have terrible childhoods and don’t go on to murder defenseless pregnant young women...

Well, Jones was some looker! I’m sure women threw themselves at him. I still admire his beauty in Ryan’s Daughter. Did you know he’s dubbed in the film? He couldn’t do the British accent so Lean had his voice replaced. Sarah Miles - never my favorite either, Chris. (He was married to Susan Strasberg, btw.)

I see you've resorted to copying ebb's 4th grade antics when you lose the debate. I guess you don't like being exposed as a 9-1-1 TRUTHER.

BTW....are you still a Romam Catholic priest? It's a simple yes or no.

Manson & Co personified the progressive nexus of the Deep State Counter Culture.

"I’m the fellow who gave LSD to Brian Wilson in the early Sixties. I have been vilified for doing this for almost fifty years. I would like to set the record straight about this event..."

On the list of all the things Manson compulsively blabbed about -- "when I first dropped acid" -- seems to be conspicuously absent.

Manson was a member of the weathermen underground like Dorden and Barrys buddy Aires.

It was called the Weather Underground not the Weathermen Underground, Manson was never part of it and her name is Dohrn not Dorden.
