Not many people are aware of Scientology's links to the Clintons, the NOI, The Manson Family and other groups.

What would be the point of having ties to the Manson Family?

...ties to the Manson Family?

It's a tenuous tie, at best. Charles Manson had a passing brush with Scientology before he became the leader of the Family.

What would be the point of having ties to the Manson Family?

The connection is that Manson took a couple classes, left and used some of what he learned to attract people to his family.

As far as I know he's never been declared clear.

Nor has he been embraced by the church, but detractors have been quite eager to link him to them.

That being said, the membership numbers they report include anyone who has bought a book or taken an introductory class, whether they pursued it any further or not.

If the truth be told, the Manson Family death-toll was small change compared to the Clinton Family death-toll. Let our memories go back to the Arkansas years to the Ruby Ridge & Waco years, from Fort Marcy Park to Benghazi and Fast & Furious and everything below the radar through out those years.
