      In 2019 Nickolas & his publisher took money- ripped off several hundred people with the “sale” of that last Manson file book. Hundreds never received the book after paying & waiting patiently. Nickolas, likely pays his debts by ripping off good people via theft through salacious Manson File book rip off scheme.

    Morrison, Neil Young, Cass Elliott, Dennis Wilson, and so many more all knew Charlie.
    The story line promulgated for practically 55 years is that Dennis Wilson was the conduit to connecting Manson with Melcher, leading to the whole BS about sending Melcher a message for blowing off Manson by murdering the current occupants of Cielo Drive. Manson recorded songs at Gold Star studio in 1967, long before meeting Wilson in 1968. Helter Skelter has got to be the biggest bullsh*t story right after the two Kennedy and MLK assassinations. I knew Bugliosi was definitely 1000% full of it when he came out with his book on Oswald.

It's about the fact that there is this repeated ad nauseum fairytale that it was Dennis Wilson who brought Charles Manson out of the shadows and into society, leading to the murders. Nope! He was well known, met many before Dennis Wilson, and provided drugs to the Cielo Drive residents, plus those that lived in Laurel Canyon, and their entourages long after Dennis Wilson disassociated himself from Manson

    I had my 15th birthday August 9, 1969. I was still very giddy about Apollo 11. I eventually became an engineer. Though pretty young at the time of the murders, I was shocked at the cruelty of the crimes. I eventually heard and learned a few things about Manson. Here was a diminutive man with a horrendous upbringing. He was bullied and never knew much stability and he unfortunately engaged in criminal activity. Is it any wonder he seethed with hate, anger and resentment? I am not excusing his crimes, but our society helped produce this person.

    Thank you so much for this compelling interview - a breath of fresh air! Eric, you're a great interviewer; you ask great questions and let the guest speak. So often hosts seem to compete with guests as if to showcase their personal knowledge, which cuts into broadcast time. Consequently, viewers don't get to hear deeper perspectives of the guest. I stumbled on to this aspect of the murders a few years ago in the first chapter of James DiEugenio's book The JFK Assassination. The chapter underscores the almost ruthless, sensational-seeking ambition of Bugliosi to make a name for himself. At the time of the publication of that DiEugenio book, Helter Skelter was still the #1 best selling "true" crime book of all time. That's the degree of celebrity, clout, and grandiosity (as well the same disregard for fact) that brought us Reclaiming History.

    Nickolas Schreck & his cronies-publisher etc. ripped off a large number of people who honorably pre-paid for hardback signed copy his re-issued updated Manson File book. He then never delivered on it after a year+ of “delays”. Nickolas blamed everything but a dead Charlie Manson for the disappearing book & money act. He kept claiming publisher delays & other bullshit, all tactics to afford him a excused way out. I never received my copy nor did I get any apology or refund! He did this to hundreds of others as well!
    Is what it is. He’s still never given anyone any apology or real insight into why he ripped everyone off… maybe he’s still a heroin addict or wacked out on buzzard semen. Id give him credit for being creative around how he hustled his dope habit if he just admitted to the reason.
    There’s a reason he only has one ear.

    Eric! Nice job. And yes, get Nik on again. The story of this crime is, as he says, far more involved than anybody knows. The cover-up involving Charlie's relationships with Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, Neil Young, and so forth. All of these guys liked Manson's music and of course, they knew he'd been a criminal and had served time before; yet it only added to Charlie's myth. Hollywood never had trouble with ex-cons then or now, and perhaps it's their own flirtation with the evil they are all involved in that allowed them to be comfortable with him and HIS GIRLS - many of whom were used by the music industry (through Charlie). Great interview.

      Hollywood has no problems with dope or dope dealers, or hiring those that have no talent but think they do (cheaper to hire, easier to control). Manson was just a low-tier dope dealer & pimp, with very little talent for anything, much less music. People, for some reason, seem to think Manson is somehow unique or special, in a Hollywood full of Chuck Manson "artists". That's pretty much it. Criminals of a degenerate feather flock together. Pack a bunch of delusional druggies into one spot without any law enforcement for long enough, and you get a Chucky M's.

    This is a great interview. Very interesting. I do want to add though that Manson saying he didn’t deserve a long sentence minimizes the unnamed person he might have killed in prison for being somewhere on a snitch or pedo scale and others he admitted killing. Those descriptions are still taking the law into someone’s own hands and I believe taking on a role someone isn’t given in society.
    People have spoken of that happening all the time and we’re used to the concept from true crime discussions and here it sounds like it always has been but they are still describing murder.

      Because it didn’t happen. The killers told the reason for the murders during the trial. Copycat killings to make the police think the wrong man was arrested for the murder of Gary Hinman, since he wasn’t present at the murder scenes being in jail, Bobby would have to be cut loose in their minds.
      Susan Atkins admitted she lied on the stand during the penalty phase and that’s when she testified about the “drug burn”.

      Correct. All three murder scenes were made to look like the Black Panthers committed the crimes. And it went beyond just writing PIG and RISE on the walls. There were other incidents connected to the killings that took place to also frame the Panthers… ones committed by Manson himself. Why? Why the Panthers specifically? The Panthers didn’t even know Manson and his crew existed. These setups were born out of fear and self preservation. And it went far beyond paranoia about the Crowe shooting. You had to see what was happening at Spahn Ranch throughout July 1969 to understand this mortal terror of the Black Panthers.

    I am trying to be open minded but am deeply disturbed after watching this for 40 or so minutes. Because the victims are being shamed here. This is articulate and well thought out. I get he was Chalie's friend for 30 years. It disturbs me that he says it was never a cult, but a gang! I still believe the Helter Skelter events as crazy as it sounds. If you have known deeply mentally disturbed and twisted folks you start to see those exact behaviors. He isn't a serial killer... but he shot several people in Mexico, participated in all these murders one way or another. But he isn't a serial killer? A cult doesn't have to be organized well to be a cult or a gang. Not all cults are bad perhaps. But this one was.
    I believe Charlie was so good at what he does he even fooled this guy. I could care less if the victims were drug dealers or not! They were blamed for their own deaths! And your friend Charlie was a serial killer, and I am sorry for that too. And honestly, it's hard not to sensationalize the story because that is how crazy it is! Charlie was also basically continuing his pimping career by convincing ladies he was Jesus Christ. Its too bad Charlie had such a horrendous childhood. The system did create him. But what happend in 1969 is not that far fetched after all. It still happens. You have to watch out for normalization of deviance. Which is almost worse than sensationalism.

    I think this is slightly unfair on Tom O’Neill. I’ve read the book, I can’t think ever reading that he claimed Smiths only client was Manson, he also did very much prefix everything he investigated that he couldn’t prove through documentation as speculation and or circumstantial evidence. If Smith felt this was entirely untrue why didn’t he sue O’Neill for defamation or libel? So you have West and Smith in exact same place at exact same time and as a parole officer he was allowing Manson to travel freely across the state? Also, Smith had his meetings with Manson actually in the Height free med clinic and worse still, here’s Manson working with LSD having all these young girls following him and he didn’t see this as a problem and why would he ask permission for Manson to go to Mexico during his parole, strange request no? Shreck implied that Roger Smith and Jolly West just happened to be in the same place at the same time and that was it but Smith on public record said quite openly he knew West and had worked on a dissertation with him. He also stated he got involved in a professional circuit with him looking at high dosage of amphetamine use, so what’s “bullshit” to you sounds like direct factual evidence to me and that Shreck has made his mind up and won’t accept anyone whose discovered more than he has or has his own reason to discredit O’Neill.

      It turned out that both women had received glowing appraisals and impassioned pleas for leniency from none other than Roger Smith. In his petitions, Smith identified himself as a “former federal parole officer,” but he neglected to mention that his most recent and final parole client was Charles Manson-the very man who'd sent Atkins and Brunner to Mendocino in the first place.
      Page 282
      It would be surprising if Smith didn’t know that his ward was breaking the
      law -a lot. But he had only praise for his sole client. “Mr. Manson has made excellent progress,” he wrote in one of several reports he made to the head parole office in Washington, D.C. “He appears to
      be in better shape personally than he has been in a long time.”
