And the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize goes to indefatigable peacenik and activist...from the country Trump is killing so many people in: Venezuela's opposition leader Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize, dedicates it to Trump [so he won't have any hard feelings and will maybe stop bombing her country, extrajudicially killing its citizens, and threatening to invade so that the CIA can keep dealing cocaine unimpeded by the current administration]. Why would a leader in opposition to Venezuela's duly elected leader thank Trump? They're on the same team attempting to depose and destabilize the country until it falls under U.S. control in accordance with the regime change policies of the CIA as detailed in John Perkin's Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (3rd Edition)
He clearly wanted the Nobel Peace Prize like a hungry dog wants a biscuit, and how did the Norwegian Nobel Committee members reward his selfless self-promotion? They gave the prize to someone I’ve never heard of, Venezuelan opposition activist María Corina Machado. I don’t think she’s even an American!
Kazakhstan is a massive country in Central Asia made infamous by Borat (Sascha Baron Cohen). It was once a Silk Route Buddhist country along Silk Road transmission of Buddhism. Islam conquered it, and Western hegemony followed. Now it has metal and modern music festivals, hiring self-proclaimed "drug addict" Marilyn Manson, one the smartest man in alt rock before being destroyed by drugs or bad judgment in general. He has faced criminal sexual allegations and still doesn't seem to reign it in.
A journalist's 20-year fascination with the Manson murders leads to shocking new revelations about the FBI's involvement in this riveting reassessment of an infamous case in American history.
Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young ["hippie"] followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, at that time eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order.
CIA creation Charlie Manson, LSD narcissist
Their crimes lit a flame of paranoia across the nation, spelling the end of [the hippies' great counterculture reputation and] the 1960s. Manson became one of history's most infamous criminals, his name forever attached to an era when charlatans mixed with prodigies, free love was as possible as brainwashing, and utopia -- or dystopia -- was just an acid trip away.
Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the Manso murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including
police carelessness,
legal misconduct, and
potential surveillance by intelligence agents.
When a tense interview with Vincent Bugliosi -- prosecutor of the Manson Family and author of Helter Skelter -- turned a friendly source into a nemesis, O'Neill knew he was onto something. But every discovery brought more questions:
Who were Manson's real friends in Hollywood?
How far would they go to hide their ties?
Why didn't law enforcement, including Manson's own parole officer, act on their many chances to stop him?
And how did Manson, an illiterate ex-con, turn a group of peaceful hippies into senseless and remorseless killers?
O'Neill's quest for the truth led him from reclusive celebrities to seasoned spies, from San Francisco's summer of love to the shadowy sites of the CIA's mind-control [MKUltra] experiments, on a trail rife with shady cover-ups and suspicious coincidences.
The product of two decades of reporting, hundreds of new interviews, and dozens of never-before-seen documents from the LAPD, the FBI, and the CIA, Chaos mounts an argument that could be, according to Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Steven Kay, strong enough to overturn the verdicts on the Manson murders.
