In 1999, entertainment reporter Tom O'Neill accepted a three-month assignment from a film magazine to write a story about how the infamous Charles Manson  Tate–LaBianca murders that changed Hollywood. Tom missed his deadline but continued to investigate the murders, falling down a 20 year investigative rabbit hole that birthed his new book “CHAOS” which is the product of those two decades of meticulous research, hundreds of interviews, and falling-outs with publishers that led to financial and legal repercussions.  Tom’s book, 'Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties' presents his research into the background and motives for the Tate–LaBianca murders committed by the Manson Family in 1969. The evidence Tom has uncovered blows massive holes in the official narrative of the Charles Manson story and exposes corruption, & cover ups, and Manson’s connection to the CIA’s MK Ultra, LSD testing, & psychological warfare mind control programs. Toms book is the holy grail of true crime and on this episode Tom tells some shocking stories that had to be left out of the book.
