Listening to him talk about how difficult it was to get it published and the legal / financial side of it is incredible. It really goes to show how much podcasts and social media have upended traditional journalism. The long and short of it is the CIA didn’t cover their ass enough before the internet was invented, even then these are old school journalists or sons of victims / people personally invested in it as the only people looking into it.

Tom O'Neill deserves a Pulitzer. I have read this book and recommended it to (and bought it for) students and am never tired of hearing O'Neill talk about his 20-year slog. And to hear him say that there is more and maybe a second book. So glad he teamed up with Dan Piepenbring and this story saw the light of day. The audiobook is a wonderful listen.

@@MeeMee-gz5vp he’s not “full of shit”…. Just because there’s not physical evidence of something, doesn’t mean that something can’t be inferred… Look at Bundy.. He was essentially convicted with ZERO definitive physical evidence. So even courts will convict without physical evidence. And yes, O’Neil HAD TO say he couldn’t definitively prove certain things for legal reasons. The same reason media hosts will say “ALLEGEDLY the man arrested for SA this past weekend SA’d a minor.” Because the person isn’t yet convicted, they have to say allegedly for legal reasons. That’s the same reason O’Neil said that about “Chaos”. What’s PROVEN in “Chaos”, is that Bugliosi was a crazy person and a drunk who had multiple complaints/reports made on him by some women who he was stalking and intimidating. He made up so much of the stuff he used in the trial and in his book “Helter Skelter”. That book is complete garbage. That book is a total lie. They say these same things about Maury Terry, the guy who deeply investigated the theory of David Berkowitz, the “Son of Sam”, being involved in a satanic cult, and that he wasn’t the only shooter, but was just 1 of 4.

@@onemaddad3823 idk maybe I’m the odd one out here, but until an assertion is proven true without a reasonable doubt, I don’t believe in that assertion. To each his/her own. As for Bundy, and Aileen Wuornos for that matter, it didn’t help either of their cases by admitting to being the murderer. And didn’t Bundy have dental comparisons with the bite marks on one of his victims? Not to get too far off the subject, I think Chaos is another well-written theory as with all of the books published on this case. Also, that’s not news about Vincent Bugliosi - that’s almost as old as the murders themselves. In fact, just about everything in O’neil’s book is OLD NEWS, for the exception of his own theories. So what new “news” did Tom O’neil’s Chaos sell you?

@MeeMee-gz5vp

2 жыл бұрын

@@onemaddad3823 one more thing… everything in Bugliosi’s Helter Skelter is not a lie. How do I know? Because Bugliosi backs up what he says, such as tape and video recordings of the actual person telling what happened, unlike Tom O’Neil who just regurgitates what was already common knowledge about the case and adds a few spicy tidbits to appear like he’s privileged to hidden information. Anyone can do that, man, true crime writers have been doing that for years. The only thing out of Bugliosi’s book that was a lie is the race war theory itself. But because a race war wasn’t such a far fetched idea back in those days, and several family members did say they used to talk about an impending race war during their fireside chats, this made Bugliosi’s theory more believable. But regardless of why the murders happened, that still doesn’t lighten the fact that people were viciously and mercilessly slaughtered. It’s the act of murder itself that’s still appalling. Just my two cents.

Saw Tom O'Neill at Joe Rogan's podcast, and ordered the book immediately. Was my read of the summer 2020 - highly recommended! And if you, like me, feel confused about the intense name dropping in the first 100 pages or so, take notes about names and relations to each other. Helped me a great deal to fully understand the big web of suspects and acquaintances that Tom O'Neill lay out. Incredible piece of journalism!

Really Enjoy this rabbit hole that I've jumped down with Tom O'Neil. Can't stop reading and watching about MK-Ultra and the wake it left behind.

I could go on and on about how I intended to only watch this for 5-10 minutes because of other tentitives on my agenda, only to watch the video start to finish with no breaks. I could focus on how comfortable I found the interviewer's technique to be and as a result of his genuine listening skills, the momentum of information that was able to be gained as a result, and the quality of his follow-up questions. I could also mention the incredible level of likability Tom O'Neill has the extraordinary level of research and due diligence he has invested. His work and demeanor reek of credibility. But since I'm easily the most important person in my very real, very 2022 life, I have to mention how thoroughly insulted and disgusted I am with Amazon now. There have been a number of minor little business mistakes they have made in the past on my accounts, nothing that has ultimately not been rectified rather quickly and nothing that has kept me from moving probably +$750,000.00 through their buying service. "Steering away from White, middle-aged protagonists!", is racist and agist. But put those terms du jour aside. That is the language and thought-pattern of a Jedi-level, steaming piece of shit, sub-moron. You know a complete and total dumbass. A failure. I'm going to spend some time reevaluating where and through whom I spend my hard-earned, considerable cheese.

This has made me think about Nick Brookfield's doco with Aileen Warnous. She said two things that stuck out to me and even more so now I've begun reading Tom's book... 1- She tells Nick to "wake up" because the police knew she was killing people but let her carry on. 2- She mentioned to Nick that the guards were wrecking her head by sending sound waves into her cell and turning the vibrations up and down over and over. I don't think she was lying about any of this. Just a few things that are red flags to me.

Stateside and England. Some of it was next level info that I’ve seen slowly theorised on by other parties or confirmed/echoed in the news here and there since, Gacy having accomplices and the like. One thing I remember standing out to me was Dahmer. He was an experiment. Had a cctv set up in his lounge. Rocked back and forth and phased out. His one escapee/survivor, a naked gay teen bleeding from the anus on a city street in daytime- was returned to his custody by the police that arrived. They looked in his apartment when there were bodies in barrels present- only to leave him as he was like everything was fine. There must have been at least an odour ffs.

This guy tells a fantastic story thank you all

Paul Tate, Sharon's father, was military intelligence. Sharon at 16 years old, was straddling a US Missile for the cover of a 1960 issue "Stars and Stripes" magazine. Sharon was not married to Roman Polanski, she was in love with Jay Sebring aka: .Thomas John Kummer. Tom was the real father of Sharon's baby. She was not renewing her contract with MGM and, anyway. Abigail Folger had been groomed to be a private banker bursar like her mother, and she wasn't playing ball. They were both targeted and murdered for their own reasons. Haircuts were $1 then, "Jay Sebring" lived in a $1 Million property, any barbers you know living that large? You cannot fathom how deep this rabbit hole actually goes down.

You are not right about anything. Not one thing.

Tom, why is Debra Tate utterly utterly disinterested in the fact that the official Bugliosi case has just unravelled with gaping holes? She seems to have nothing nice to say about you, but I've never heard you say anything negative about her, which is good. Does she live in a fantasy world about this story and just can't handle the truth? I really would like to know what's wrong with her. Surely her first and only loyalty should be to her sister Sharon and knowing the truth.

Great Interview True Crime is so crazy cause you never get the full truth and probably for the better cause it’s so unreal just shocking Tom has such heart and grit to go through all those years writing this book

Dude that’s nuts. Great content Danny. Keep em coming.

This was an absolutely fascinating interview! I am definitely buying this book

Great Book Tom! In Shane O’Sullivans book Who Killed Bobby, Jolly West is brought up with possibly being the radio man that Sirhan was meeting with. West was involved with Patty Hearst & the SLO. He saw Jack Ruby. Dig deep in books like Who Killed the King , James earl ray saw a hypnotist, the attempted assassin of Wallace saw a hypnotist. West was at the top of his game but their was more like West out their. Read the book who killed John Lennon. Russ Bakers masterpiece Family of Secrets about the bushes is a must Read. Another strange thing is that when the Manson Murders occurred Polanski was in England looking for a location to film a movie called the Day of the Dolphin. A movie about a dolphin trained to assassinate the president. In the nonfiction book The Search For The Manchurian Candidate it clearly states that their was a CIA doctor at that same time obsessed with training dolphins with hypodermic needles attached to them to kill enemy frogmen. ( I know off subject but strange) Has anyone ever wondered why the Author of the book Manson Files which is extremely expensive can’t find it cheaper then 200$ who opposes the CIA theory and Ed Saunders book called the Family because of the connection to the satanic church called the process avoids questions about Reece Whitson at all costs. Everyone needs to dig deep. Things like Manson mastered the highest level of Scientology in which it has been proven that Hubbard was in fact extremely close to Aleister Crowley who was working closely with the CIA for years. Even the fact that a big time la costa nostra (Mafia) member Carbo was very close with Manson is huge because the CIA has been working hand & hand with the Mafia since project underground and with Vito Genoese in Italy When Patton liberated it. The Mafia & the CIA again ran the drug trade together! Read Strength of the Wolf by Valentine. Labianca was a massive gambler in huge debts to the mafi. This rabbit hole is massive and these things just are not coincidental. Must reads are Acid Dreams, Operation Mind Control, Journey Into The Madness, The Search For The Manchurian Candidate, Cointelpro, The Secret Team, The Cult of Intelligence, The Devil’s Chessboard & Who Killed Bobby. I’m currently researching Jonestown & my podcast/Vlog is about to restart soon. Manson, Kennedy, Ruby, MLK, RFK, Malcom X, Lennon , Hoffa, assassination attempts on Wallace , the Pope ,Reagan by Hinckley ( friends with bush VP and former director of CIA after MK-Ultra was exposed) the connections are insane. Do the research the answers are there. Thank you Tom for your dedication, we look forward to the next book. In the CIA the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. They portray this image that they are constantly screwing up. That’s all part of espionage. You only know what they want you to know. Everyone should listen to MAE BRUSSELS old radio shows. She was ahead of her time and this was her masterpiece. She covered all this.

Read the book when it first came out, I think Manson's parole officers are among the best evidence for the quote theory, I really wish the author had made a post script about all the behind the scenes he talks about in this video, like the tex tapes...

Bought the book, read in three days (nights), and I loved it. I can’t imagine taking in this information via audiobook.

Jolly West visited Jack Ruby in jail in Dallas, the other doctor that was already seeing Ruby as well as others who were dealing with Ruby have said he changed that day and never changed back to the person he was before that visit. I forget what book this is in but you can search to find this is the truth,

One thing that I always thought important is that Tex Watson took along a long length of rope to Cielo Drive, along with wire cutters. The house had open ceiling beams and the rope was tied around the necks of the victims and over the beams. I think it shows that they knew exactly what the house was like as the rope was only used for that purpose.

mae Brussell had this all figured out after kennedy and manson. she had a radio broadcast and spoke of all the mind control/patsy/decoy stuff.

CHAOS by Tom is very insightful in the crazy times of the late 60s and specifically MANSON. There are 2 other books I would recommend reading if you are into this topic and have not done so. Weird Scenes in Laurel Canyon and Programmed to Kill the Politics of Serial Murder. Both written by David McGowan. There are several interviews with Mr.McGowen but he passed away due to cancer.

Ton L He never proves any direct connection between Manson and the CIA. He even says so.

I knew a guy for awhile (gym) here in the Midwest who turned out to not only have gone through high school in the South Bay with Lynette Fromme but actually drove her to school and back in his carpool click. He was popular because he had a sweet 60’s convertible Mustang. He brought his signed with note (from her) yearbook to the gym one day to show me. He remembered her well. He said she was like the typical kind of hippie girl but she was really into the environmental aspect of it. He said there was strife in the home which led to her parents kicking her out of the house after high school. Apparently she met the family/Manson right, like immediately, after getting kicked out of the house. It made think, what if she got kicked out a day or two earlier or a day or two later. She probably never would have met and got groomed into the family and her destiny would have been much different.

As a child of hippies during that time; i have always been fascinated with the 60's and especially with the Manson incident. I read Bugliosi's book while babysitting one night as a teen; had read "the Family" by Ed Sanders when i was about 11. Read Paul's book about being in the Family. I've read "Chaos" twice ; then saw that the book about Sidney Gottlieb "Poisoner in Chief" was at my library and read that. There are so many tentacles that reach out into so many things...you could really spend a lifetime.

Might anyone imagine if Charles Manson - guru to the simple minded and backward children - and Rev. Jim Jones were able to team up! They would be "The Devil's Duo" for sure!

Definitely one of my all time favorite interviews. Regarding SirHan... RFK JR has been absolutely clear that SirHan failed at shooting RFK as ballistics showed his bullets where everywhere except in RFK and it was a cop who stuck his gun up into the right rear part of his head behind his ear that killed him. RFK Had muzzle residue from the cops gun that was at point blank range. SirHan just missed multiple times.... The cop was.... A back up?? But RFK jr has talked about this in interviews. It was a cop who pulled it off..... SirHan fucked up. Feel free to cross-reference this info as RFK JR said that so many people all just believe that it was SirHan.... The dude missed. It was a cop. Just behind RFK on his right side placed his pistol right at the back side of RFK s head and the bullet from his pistol went into the head behind his right ear. Sorry for the Ramble. I am just surprised that I remember this.. 😂.. Awesome interview 100% ⭐🙏

I didn't expected so many backstage stories (that I actually never heard of before!).

By researching for his magazines/books #Tomoneil has met some very interesting people and gathered some priceless info filling in the blanks on some of history's immortal characters and cases for us at his own risk and expense. I salute this #author for his dedication .

That was the best interview I’ve seen on YT. Well done. Brilliant guest. Couldn’t put my phone down. Riveting.

The author of the Sidney Gottlieb book, Kinzer, mentioned that Gottlieb dies of a possible suicide in 99, now Tom O’Neill says Jolyon West also topped himself off? Mindboggling.

Mae Brussell was talking about all of this stuff ... in the early 1970s. If Tom could have listened to all of her material, or could have corresponded with her, before she mysteriously died, in 1988, maybe more could have been possible? But, I'm definitely buying this book.
