Chaos
Chaos by Tom O'Neill is a deeply researched investigative non-fiction book that exposes startling connections between the CIA's MKUltra mind control experiments, COINTEL Pro, and the infamous Charles Manson murders of the 1960s.
Recommended“I just got done reading the 2019 book by author Tom O'Neal, titled 'Chaos: The CIA and Charles Manson.' It dives into the Manson Family and all this other stuff and draws a bunch of conclusions that I think you guys would find interesting.”

Helter Skelter
Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry is widely regarded as the definitive true crime account of the Manson family murders and the motivations driving their crimes.
Discussed“We agree with you, Full Body Taste; it does raise a lot of fascinating questions. There are some holes in 'Helter Skelter.' Tom O'Neal is writing in good faith; he spent decades researching these links, and he had a lot of falling out situations with various publishers.”
