THE MANSON FAMILY

from History Mystery · host History Mystery

Episode 185 | Historical EventsIn this History episode we focus on Charles Manson and the Tate-LaBianca murders of August 1969 — how a failed musician recruited mostly young women from the counterculture, built a system of psychological control so complete that when he told them to kill strangers they went and killed strangers, and how the "Helter Skelter" motive was less important than the mechanism that made ordinary people capable of extraordinary violence.Charles Manson didn't pull the trigger. He built a world in which pulling triggers was the natural conclusion.#HistoryMystery #MansonFamily #TrueCrime #History #CultThis podcast features narration with a synthetic AI voice.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/history-mystery/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
