Mate, I read Helter Skelter when I was maybe 13. I'm a true crime buff. I am well aware that Manson grew up in juvie, that his mother was a 15 year old prostitute and his birth certificate lists him as No Name Maddox, that he was 33 when he got out just in time for the Summer of Love, etc etc etc.
You still give me absolutely nothing to back this up.
Manson was effectively insane. He also HATED all forms of lawful authority after a childhood of being brutalised by the state. He took several hundred acid trips in 1969 alone, he routinely disappeared off grid for weeks at a time, and he never stopped being a violent criminal. He was not any kind of guy who could be a reliable asset for the CIA. Others at Spahn Ranch - Shorty Shea or Danny DeCarlo, for example - yeah, I could see it. But Manson himself? None of that makes sense. Just because someone wrote it in a book, that doesn't make it real. ?
