 59.1" title="Zoom Meeting Link">Zoom Meeting Link</a>.</p>\n<p><em>Chaos: 
 Charles Manson\, the CIA\, and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O'
 Neill &amp\; Dan Piepenbring</em></p>\n<p>Over two grim nights in Los Ange
 les\, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people\, includ
 ing the actress Sharon Tate\, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy an
 d seemingly no motive\, the Manson Family followed their leader's every or
 der - their crimes lit a flame of paranoia across the nation\, spelling th
 e end of the 60s. 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 - w
 as just an acid trip away.</p>\n<p>Twenty years ago\, when journalist Tom 
 O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders\, he worried ther
 e was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-u
 p behind the "official" story\, including police carelessness\, legal misc
 onduct\, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents. When a tense i
 nterview with Vincent Bugliosi - prosecutor of the Manson Family\, and aut
 hor of Helter Skelter - turned a friendly source into a nemesis\, O'Neill 
 knew he was onto something. But every discovery brought more questions:</p
 >\n<ul>\n<li>Who were Manson's real friends in Hollywood\, and how far wou
 ld they go to hide their ties?</li>\n<li>Why didn't law enforcement\, incl
 uding Manson's own parole officer\, act on their many chances to stop him?
 </li>\n<li>And how did Manson-an illiterate ex-con-turn a group of peacefu
 l hippies into remorseless killers?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>O'Neill's quest for th
 e truth led him from reclusive celebrities to seasoned spies\, from San Fr
 ancisco's summer of love to the shadowy sites of the CIA's mind-control ex
 periments\, on a trail rife with shady cover-ups and suspicious coincidenc
 es. The product of two decades of reporting\, hundreds of new interviews\,
  and dozens of never-before-seen documents from the LAPD\, the FBI\, and t
 he CIA\, CHAOS mounts an argument that could be\, according to Los Angeles
  Deputy District Attorney Steven Kay\, strong enough to overturn the verdi
 cts on the Manson murders. This is a book that overturns our understanding
  of a pivotal time in American history.</p>\nhttps://hoover.libnet.info/ev
