MANSON ON DEATH ROW
April

Every society gets
the kind of criminal it deserves!
Robert F. Kennedy, 1064
Assassinated June 6, 1968
If you've seen the 30 minute film introduction to "The Legend of
Charles Manson" available by Real Player on our Home Page, you
probably recall that famous prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi saying Manson,
like Hitler, has some other aspect to his personality, some
frightening and tangible power and quality about him that no one as
yet has been able to discover."
What Mr. Bugliosi may not have known when he made that statement 30
years ago, was just how close he had come to understanding one of
life's greatest mysteries.
It
is generally agreed among historians and scholars that the 20th
Century produced only three men who possessed a significant amount of
unordinary power. While John F. Kennedy represented the power of good,
Hitler and Manson, according to popular belief, held/hold the power of
Satan himself. And let's be honest, that's probably why you have come
to this website or other sites dealing with Manson. There have been
many other mass murderers that have killed many more innocent souls,
including Lieutenant Cally who ordered over 500 old men, women and
children and babies to be massacred on behalf of the United States
Government. There are no websites dealing with him and his name is
almost never mentioned in the news.
We
propose that the key word here is POWER. The power to control ones own
mind and perhaps others. Paul Watkins, who turned states evidence to
help convict Manson, declared Charlie to be "one powerful
Dude." Brooks Poston, a family member who also testified, said
"the idea of what Charlie was scared the shit out of me."
So
does Manson really hold some kind of "frightening and tangible
power." Possibly, the answer may lie in the Court's Decision to
deny Manson his Constitutional Right to defend himself.
Had
Manson represented himself, cross examined witnesses and presented
arguments to the court and jury, the question of his power, which was
just as controversial 30 years ago as it is today, would have been
tested and proven to be non-existent and you would find very little
mention of him on the internet today.
But
because "The People" realized the potential for a much
greater disaster, the possibility that Manson might actually wield a
satanic cloud over a vulnerable and moderately educate jury, the
supreme exception to sacred rights granted under our frayed
constitution was deemed warranted.
Actually, as happens in law as well as in life "The People"
created it's own catch 22. By making all the pre-publicity concerning
Manson's power, which was necessary to convince anyone that it was
Manson who masterminded and controlled the events of August 9, 1969,
Satan himself was given flesh and made whole.
As
the public was gobbling up this incredible tale of the Devil's
resurrection in sunny California, apparently some lawyers and
especially the gun toting judge were greatly affected, to the extent
that the court would exercise the very rarely used "Devils are
not allowed to practice the law" exclusion.
Hence, even today we remain saddled with at premier dilemma; could
Manson have won over the Jury or would he have failed, thus proving he
had no power over anyone? More likely, Manson would have used his
power to show that he had no power over anyone , including "The
Family," to commit murder.
The
everlasting story here is, that if Manson goes to his grave without
ever discovering the real truth, as to his power, only popular belief
can become the accepted truth. The pertinent facts as they stand today
are: Manson had/has the power to control the minds of others and his
power was/is so great that he could not/cannot be allowed to represent
himself in a United States Court of Law.
Now, with those two facts judicially noticed and accepted by everyone,
perhaps you can begin to understand Manson's universal attraction.
On
a planet where all the world's leaders are self indulged in immature
and destructive behavior, no wonder a figure like Manson stands out.
For a moment lets be objectively honest and carefully at the four best
men the greatest nation on earth has to offer.
One
is more concerned about the welfare of spotted owls than the
corruption and murder in law enforcement. One thinks Basketball
players can save the world. One still thinks Commie Gooks are coming
to get us and one doesn't appear to think at all. If you compare
Manson, a man with actual court proven supernatural powers, to four
dorks in suits Regis Philbin wouldn't be caught dead in, what do you
expect young open minds to think?
Further, in a day and age where school children write term papers
about serial killers instead of presidents, your presence at a website
like this is becoming more normal than you think. Our hits per time
zone show that Manson has a universal attraction outdone only by movie
stars and rock stars.
It
now appears that with Manson, like Hitler, anything bad or negative
said about him merely adds to his appeal. We find it totally amazing
that the names of two American presidents, overcome by the sixties, go
almost unnoticed but for their involvement in the Vietnam war and even
the once so famous Princess Diana is but a blip on the historical
calendar, where the name of Charles Manson continually and after 30
years still evokes mass public attention.
We
guess, that the test of Manson's power may now rest solely in the
ability of his infamy to survive beyond the ritual grave and should
that occur, America will have won another of her very own true legends
for time everlasting.
As
an after thought, what if Manson was granted his Constitutional Right
to represent himself in a new trial, wherein his mystical power was
not enough to save him from conviction and this time the GAS CHAMBER?
Wow! You'd think the victim's relatives and everyone but "The
Family" would be mobbing the steps of the Supreme Court demanding
a new trial.
And
if Manson actually Zapped! the witnesses and the jury to make them
declare his innocence, well, at least then we would finally know for
sure that the DEVIL really does exist!
