Los Angeles, 1969. The air hums with peace, love, and revolution—until it doesn’t. A string of brutal murders rips through the city, orchestrated by a man with wild eyes and a twisted gospel: Charles Manson. The CIA. The FBI. MKUltra. Mind control. Cults. Conspiracy. These aren’t just buzzwords—they’re threads in a tapestry so dark, so tangled, it has haunted investigators for decades. We’re revisiting the Manson Family Murders—not the story you know, but the one Tom O’Neill uncovered in Chaos. A story where evil walks hand in hand with something far creepier: the possibility that Manson wasn’t just a madman, but a pawn in a mind-control game run by the U.S. government. Buckle up, folks. This one’s going to get freaky.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
