Episode 42 - Agent of Chaos (Pt. 1)
On this week’s episode, Shawn Shumway and I discuss the book Chaos, by Tom O’neill. We’ll look into CoIntelPro, Chaos and MK Ultra as well as the claims that the Manson Family murders and the ultimate end of the 60’s movement may have been brought on by our own government!

I want to thank Shawn Shumway for once again returning to be my foil while we discuss an amazing book that I believe everyone should read and learn more about, Tom O’neill’s Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the 60’s. This journalists' look at the 30th anniversary of the Manson Family murders turned into a 20 year obsession that I think breaks at least two of the biggest cases in the history of the United States. You should read this book, yes you, even after you listen to this podcast. I will not do it justice, but there are most definitely spoilers so consider yourself very forewarned. In the show notes, I’ve included a link where you can buy Tom O’neill’s book and support local bookstores at the same time. We’ll be telling the story in a different way and linking the players together from different angles, showing the connections that I can hypothesize freely about, while Tom O’Neill had to stick to what he could completely prove in the documents. I’ll be talking about CoIntelPro, Chaos, MKUltra, Jolly West, the JFK Assassination, the Manson Family Murders, and how the CIA may have successfully ended the 1960’s.
Oh, and before I move on, I want to thank wikipedia for providing the source of a lot of the facts that I flesh out the story that Tom O’neill did a much better job of in his 20 year thesis.
