What if Charles Manson wasn’t just a crazed cult leader—but part of a secret government experiment? In this episode, we’re going to talk about the shocking revelations from CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O’Neill. From missing parole files to CIA mind control programs like MKUltra, we’ll go through the connections between Manson, U.S. intelligence, and a potential cover-up designed to destroy the 1960s counterculture. Was Manson’s violence allowed—or even… engineered? <b><br /></b><br /><br /><br /><b>Connect with Paige:</b><br /><ul><li>BlueSky: reverietruecrime.bsky.social</li><li>Instagram: instagram.com/reverietruecrime</li><li>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paige.elmore</li></ul><br /><b></b><br /><b>Resources:</b><br /><ul><li>CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O’Neill: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4udsef3b" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tinyurl.com/4udsef3b</a> </li><li>Audio and Video for CHAOS: <a href="https://tom-oneill.org/audio-video-for-chaos/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tom-oneill.org/audio-video-for-chaos/</a> </li><li>CIA.gov - MKULTRA: <a href="https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/06760269" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/06760269</a> and <a href="https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP88-01070R000301530003-5.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP88-01070R000301530003-5.pdf</a> </li><li>CIA.gov - Project Mockingbird: <a href="https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/PROJECT%20MOCKINGBIRD%5B15770719%5D.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/PROJECT%20MOCKINGBIRD%5B15770719%5D.pdf</a> </li><li>Dr. Louis Jolyon West: <a href="https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/c84j0hcd/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/c84j0hcd/</a> | <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1999/01/09/us/louis-j-west-74-psychiatrist-who-studied-extremes-dies.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.nytimes.com/1999/01/09/us/louis-j-west-74-psychiatrist-who-studied-extremes-dies.html</a> | <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Jolyon_West" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Jolyon_West</a> </li><li>Book review on the CIA website: <a href="https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/Review-Chaos-CharlesManson-25-Sep.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/Review-Chaos-CharlesManson-25-Sep.pdf</a> </li></ul><b><br />Intro and Outro by Jahred Gomes: </b><a href="https://instagram.com/jahredgomes_official" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://instagram.com/jahredgomes_official</a> <br /><b></b><br /><b>Background Music: </b>Mirage by Hayden Folker | https://soundcloud.com/hayden-folker | Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all | Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US <br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support</a>.
