"Helter Skelter." It's the motive that defined an era. But was it the truth, or was it a brilliant prosecutor's perfect story?In Part 2 of our 4-part investigation, Fairshake dives deep into the official narrative that convicted Charles Manson and his followers.We explore the complete case built by legendary prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi—a story of a messianic leader who used a unique arsenal of psychological tools to turn lost flower children into killers.We examine how Manson allegedly weaponized Dale Carnegie, Scientology, and high-dose LSD to systematically break down his followers' egos.We'll trace the "clues" he supposedly found in The Beatles' "White Album" that led to his bizarre prophecy of an apocalyptic race war—a prophecy he tried to ignite with the words "PIG" and "DEATH TO PIGS" written in his victims' blood.This is the powerful, coherent story that convinced the jury and the world. Before we can find the cracks, we must first understand the foundation.Subscribe now to Fairshake so you don't miss Part 3: "Cracks in the Foundation: A Simpler Story of Drugs and Fear."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-fairshake-files--6771179/support.Thank you for listening.I’d love to hear your thoughts — share your perspective in the comments or a review.🎥 The full video version, complete with visuals, is available on YouTube: @thefairshakefilesAs an independent creator, I deeply appreciate every listener and every bit of support.
