The Manson murders — the seven killings committed by Charles Manson’s followers in two days in Los Angeles in August 1969 — are often thought to mark the end of the 1960s, as if those brutal slayings were the inevitable outgrowth of the counterculture, the dark consequence of long hair, free love, casual drug use and a general breakdown of authority and social norms.
This sentiment was most famously expressed by Joan Didion in her book “The White Album.” She wrote that “in a sense” it was true that “the Sixties ended abruptly on August 9, 1969, ended at the exact moment when word of the murders on Cielo Drive traveled like brush fire through the community.”

The author writes in another article that he decided to try micro-doses of LSD on a program to increase his productivity and intelligence.
Nuff Said
He may have been admired by Bill Ayers (first I’ve heard of that) but he had a lot more in common with modern white supremacists.
“Where does the garbage go, as we have tin cans and garbage alongside the road, and oil slicks in your water, so you have people, and I am one of your garbage people. I am one of your motorcycle people. I am one of what you want to call hippies. I never thought about being a hippie. I don’t know what a hippie is.”
“Hippie cult leader; actually, hippie cult leader, that is your words. I am a dumb country boy who never grew up. I went to jail when I was eight years old and I got out when I was thirty-two. I have never adjusted to your free world. I am still that stupid, corn-picking country boy that I always have been.”
“Whatever you do is up to you and it’s the same thing with ,anyone in my family. and anybody in my family is a white human being, because my family is of the white family. There is the black family, a yellow family, the red family, a cow family and a mule family. There is all kinds of different families.
“We have to find ourselves first, God second, and kind, k-i-n-d, come next. And that is all I was doing.”
Give his body to wild pigs to eat, No burial for that sorry f*****!!!!!
No true Scotsman would commit such a fallacy.
The NYT can lie all it wants to, but I was there, and the 60s left was as much about violence and revolution as it was about “peace and love.” “Off the pig” (i.e., kill police), and “political power comes out of the barrel of a gun” were two of the most popular phrases.
“Charles Manson recruited his family from the Haight Ashbury hippies and other young people.”
I’m pretty sure these folks were all SoCal denizens.
“He was admired by SDS and weatherman types like Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.”
Can you cite a reference for that? You know, in the interest of accuracy?
“He wasn’t a product of it. He used it.”
He was a product of Hell.
“When you see the children X’s on their head
if you dare to look at them, soon you will be dead.”

“Didn’t Bernardine Dohrn praise the killings?”
Yes. Dohrn, Ayers and the rest of the Students for Democratic Society(SDS) were admirers of Charles Manson. Rolling Stone magazine also featured Manson on their cover and did a hero worship interview with him.
This was the same Ayers and Dohrn who got Barack and Michelle Obama jobs in Chicago when Obama was just starting out. This is the same Ayers who got Obama placed on the board of the Woods Foundation. This is the same Ayers who wrote Obama’s supposed autobiography. This is the same Ayers who launched and financed Obama’s early political career.
“Offing those rich pigs with their own forks and knives, and then eating a meal in the same room, far out! The Weathermen dig Charles Manson.” was the quote from Bernardine Dohrn at a Students for Democratic Society meeting in 1969.
Manson was a con man. One of the questions that needs to be asked was where he learned the brainwashing techniques he used. They aren’t something normal people pick up on or use. He had training. There was an undercurrent of occult or satanism that ran deep in the circles he ran with. Called the “Process Church” and Anton LeVay’s Church of Satan and other phony balogna plastic bananna good time rock and roll BS that was so prevalent at the time.
One of the followers testified that lots of drugs were used to break down their will to resist. While LSD is some bad, bad stuff, he also mentioned Belladonna, though I suspect he was actually referring to Jimson Weed, or Datura - a pretty flower that I believe probably grows wild in the area of Spahn Ranch. This might explain part of it as well. One of the things he did was forced group sex - homosexual and otherwise. Whatever morals and boundaries one had been raised with, these had to be broken. While everyone dosing on hallucinogenics, they would mock “crucify” Charlie - who would claim to be Jesus, or the Devil, or whatever the situation required. “I’m the Son of Man!” (Man-son.. get it?)
Devil worship and crazy hippies, what could possibly go wrong?
I was to a certain part, involved in the era. I did stuff I wasn’t proud of. I did stuff I was proud of.
Anyway the Manson Family definitely evolved from the 60s counterculture. As did the weather underground @$$holes as you stated so well.
Vietnam caused the counterculture movement as the communists used it to cause it to form. And it wasn’t the war so much as our lack of resolve to finish it and win...and It was LBJ and the congress that decided not to fight it to win.
Those who would be drafted saw a non-win war and decided it wasn’t to die for.
Read about Manson in Haight Ashbury. Here is one article to get you started.

I’m sure the John Birch Society would have welcomed him! According to this idiot writer at the NYT
Yes he was.
