Fun read about the #Manson murders, the ‘60s and Hollywood. Intel Agencies get plenty of space, too. There is a short section that every #JFK assassination conspiracy theorist & denier should read: the chapter on the incredible Dr. West 
Dr. Louis Jolyon West has quite the Wikipedia entry. Son of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants, he hustled hard to receive special Army Medical training, get to Colonel in the air force, become chair of psychiatry at University of Oklahoma… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Jol…
And was involved in every major brainwashing/cult court thing in American history except the Manson trial. Dr. West was a paid CIA contractor in the MKUltra program. He received copious $ via CIA fronts. He saved correspondence.
He boasts of being able to break minds, fake memories, erase memories, etc., which could have been a ruse for funding. He later was at UCLA and in San Fran to observe & study the hippie drug thing.
Author O’Neill makes a great circumstantial case that Dr. West the expert on hypnosis & LSD & Manson the cult leader whose Family used LSD might’ve known one another due to both being involved with the HAFMC run by David Smith en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haight_As…
Dr. West went to study psychedelics & hippies. Manson was there via his federal parole officer. Manson was Roger Smith’s *only* probie. No other assignment. 🤔 O’Neill lacks a smoking gun, but the coincidences stack high. What is weirder is Dr. West’s involvement w/Jack Ruby
To believe Oswald acted alone, one must believe not just in the #LoneGunman theory but then a *second* lone gunman (Ruby) killing Oswald. We will never know Ruby’s motives or story because he went insane while imprisoned. When? When he met Dr. West.
Ruby was jailed quickly. Doctors visited him. Immediately, Dr. West pushed to be assigned to Ruby but the judge said no. Once Ruby had new counsel, West got his chance. Ruby’s new lawyer who brought West in would later get a job at West’s university.
A few MDs saw Jack Ruby & said he was fine. Judge agreed Ruby was stable. Once West left Ruby’s room on April 26th, 1964 (note that date), Ruby was delusional & crazy. No witnesses in the room during their meeting. Ruby heard things, saw hallucinations, and was incoherent.
In June of 1964, the Warren Commission investigating the #JFK assassination visited Ruby to interview him and found a rambling shell of a man. Earlier in the proceedings, they described him as their most important witness. Useless.
Who was the CIA liaison for the Warren Commission? Richard Helms.
Who knew of MKUltra at CIA? Richard Helms.
Who was an MKUltra contractor experienced in hypnosis, psychedelics & boasted about inducing temporary mental illness? Dr. West.
Who knew of MKUltra at CIA? Richard Helms.
Who was an MKUltra contractor experienced in hypnosis, psychedelics & boasted about inducing temporary mental illness? Dr. West.
Dr. West testified at the Patty Hearst trial, got to Ruby & Korean War POWs, yet never testified at the Manson trial despite brainwashing/cult issues at the heart of the case against Manson. We will never know why, but maybe it was “an MKUltra experiment gone right”.
