Charles Manson was born as Charles Mills of madox on November 12th in 1934 in Cincinnati Ohio he endured a tumultuous childhood that was marked by instability and neglect his mother Kathleen madx was just 16 years old and struggling with alcoholism and involvement in prostitution when she gave birth to him after Kathleen's marriage to William Manson ended rather quickly Charles was placed in various homes and schools experiencing rejection and instability at a very young age this turbulent upbringing laid the foundation for a life of delinquency and petty crime crime by the time that he was a teenager Manson's brushes with the law were rather frequent and he spent a significant period of time incarcerated despite attempts at reform through various institutions Manson's criminal Behavior persisted in 1951 Manson cycle of imprisonment began leading to stance behind bars where his volatile nature earned him a reputation as being a dangerous man probation reports described Manson as deep ly troubled with a marked degree of rejection and instability despite efforts to rehabilitate him Manson continued to seek validation and love often resorting to criminal activities to fulfill his needs his offenses ranged from pimping all the way to passing stolen checks culminating in a 1961 conviction of a 10-year sentence at mcneel Island prison during his time in prison Manson discovered a passion for music and learned to play the guitar car released in 1967 Manson moved to San Francisco where he formed what would then become known as the family which was a group of around a hundred followers who shared his unconventional lifestyle and habitual drug use including LSD and magic mushrooms Manson's charismatic personality and ability to manipulate others LED his followers to believe in his Messianic claims including his Prophecies of a looming race war influenced by the cultural phenomenon the beatles' Helter Skelter Manson interpreted the song's lyrics as a call to incite violence and Chaos he immersed himself in apocalyptic ideologies drawing inspiration from The Book of Revelation and exploring teachings of Scientology and other Fringe religious movements Manson's delusions mirrored the traits of cult leaders emerging in the 1960s as he convinced his followers of his Divine Purpose and ability to foresee a the cataclysmic future before his Infamous spree Manson crossed paths with Beach Boys member Dennis Wilson hoping to launch a music career despite recording some music Manson's aspirations faltered leading to a descend into violence and depravity the crimes of Charles Manson and the Manson family began with Manson's quest for money and power he orchestrated a scheme to scam Bernard Crow leading to Crow's shooting under false pretenses of a affiliation with the Black Panthers a local gang fearing retribution Manson sought to escape hoping to establish a new territory the Manson family compound in pursuit of funds Manson targeted Gary Hinman believing him to be in possession of inheritance money when Henman refused to cooperate a group of Manson's followers were sent to persuade him henman's resistance led to his brutal murder in hopes of staging the scene to implicate the black Panthers the infamous Tate murders followed shortly thereafter on August 9th of 1969 Manson directed another group of his followers to the home of actress Sharon Tate and director Roman palansky the 8-month pregnant Tate was entertaining friends in pansy's absence Manson's group brutally murdered Tate and her friends leaving behind a scene of unimaginable horror the following night the labianca murders were carried out which further cemented Manson's reign of terror Manson accompanied by yet another group of his loyal followers targeted Grocery Company owner Leno labianca and his wife Rosemary the couple was subjected to a night of unimaginable violence with Manson actively participating in the brutality this time both murders were marked by extreme violence and ritualistic elements leaving messages scrolled in Blood and terrorizing the victims before their deaths the brutal Al ity of these crimes shocked the nation and left an indelible mark on American culture during the trial that followed Manson's manipulative influence over his followers became evident as did his Relentless pursuit of notoriety despite his conviction for first-degree murder Manson continued to exert a morbid Fascination over the Public's imagination becoming a symbol of the dark side of countercultural movements in the 1960s on January 25th of 1971 Manson was sentenced to life in prison with his followers receiving similar sentences Manson's marriages and relationships including his association with Aton Burton added layers to his already complex Legacy Manon died on November 19th of 2017 after spending over four decades Behind Bars his death however did not Mark the end of his influence as postumus legal battles over his remains ensued reflecting the enduring curiosity and Fascination surrounding his life and crimes in today's video as I said we're going to be analyzing the non-verbal communication that he displays during his first prison interview it's a fascinating time I think that's enough of the backstory let's go ahead and dive right into the video itself I know I chose you I'm not going to sit in that damn chair man I'll stand here and talk with the dude you know you were sent all right I'm going to go ahead and pause here so that little exerpt was left in there to add a little bit of context as to the dynamic walking into this interview that we're experiencing the reason that Manson did not want to sit in the chair was because he did not want to feel like he was looking up to anybody so he opted to stand instead and therefore looked down at the interviewer this lets us know a little bit about the mindset of Manson he does have an overly inflated sense of self if he refuses to stand or to sit to look up to somebody or even look across to somebody that allows us to know what his own perception of his own value and worth is and he's also starting this interview on a level of Confrontation he does not like to be one who is controlled he wants to be in control this all lines up with everything that he had touted up to the point of his eventual incarceration let's keep watching you know you were sentenced to the gas chamber and then they modified the death penalty where you happy when that was done was I happy when what was done when you found out that you weren't going to the gas chamber you're talking about dying now it gets me nervous what did you have any thoughts about something was you want to go anywhere okay going to go ahead and pause here so we're seeing a very agitated Manson he's pacing he's looking around he's not paying attention to the interview itself nor the interviewer and then when this question is posed he immediately poses it with another question that doesn't actually have too much weight behind it in that he's being quite vague with the questioning so we're seeing a couple of issues already he's already trying to squirrel around some of these questions now non-verbally speaking right shortly after that he goes into this very awkward posing where he's hoisted one leg up on a stool and he's done a dominating gesture by closing his fist and putting it on more or less where his hip would be located and he is looking down at the interviewer and he's already tried to wrestle control in that he's trying to switch and pose his own questions in response to questions so we're already seeing a power struggle come out from Manson from my understanding he refused to on any level be submissive to anybody else even in situations where that's how the rules would function let's continue watching were you happy when you found out you weren't going to go to the gas chamber Charles uh I knew I wasn't going to go to the gas chamber cuz I hadn't done anything wrong you're scared to fascinating uh the interviewer rear is back home his question which is good holds his ground and we see a manipulator come out where mins and runs his tongue through the inside of his cheek there that is a a self soothing gesture that's agitation coming out he's frustrated and angered by that question and then he says that he knew that he wasn't going to be put into the gas chamber because he hadn't done anything wrong and he holds eye contact with the interviewer when the interviewer does not respond immediately he ends up breaking eye contact and looking back down that holding of eye contact was to test to see where the waters were with that specific interviewer whether or not he was going to be able to kind of bully him or not I have to hold credit to the interviewer he did not get bullied on this portion of the interview so we're going to be able to continue on through this and gather as much as we can you scared to die sometimes I feel I'm scared to live living is what scares me dying easy um how long have I been in jail 34 years going to go ahead and pause there are you afraid to die and then he doesn't directly answer that question he says that living is more difficult dying is easy he does a very overt non-verbal display here with open body language here however since it's so overt and it is desynchronized from the rest of his verbal communication around that you can tell that it's very Force very controlled and that is something that he was aware of was how he would non-verbally display to other people and so we see him controlling aspects of that here and then he does again where he doesn't fully answer the question he answers it in some other way that doesn't really provide any clarity as to what was asked he does this regularly and now we're going to go ahead and see another diversion of topics over here as well 34 years so um out of 47 you've been here 34 I've been in jail a prison a long time all my life I was raised up in here so I understand jail so I understand myself and I can deal with that I set in my cell and I do my number like a convict does his number but there's different colors on different people's backs doing different things it's a different world I love the world I live in too just like loves the world he lives in you love the world you live in most going to go ahead and pause here none of this has anything to do with anything Manson is now just kind of going off on this interesting side tangent and it was these interesting side tangents that started to really highlight his psychological instability as he got older as his Insanity seemed to Peak through the cracks ever so slightly there was never any question about his intelligence in his earlier years especially as he was able to manipulate people so efficiently but as he continued to grow older that sharpness and that ability to manipulate started to fall off until we start seeing some of these irrational tangents coming out and sporadic emotional displays as we will continue to see here we hear this fake laugh coming in when the interviewer seems to be taken aback by his love of his world now and this fake laugh comes in again and again it is not a gen genuine laugh it does not reach his eyes and it's not coming from a a place of genuine emotion it's a response to questions and use to highlight the possible absurdity of those questions let's hear Manson's response to this most assuredly it's me you love all the pain that you've caused people all anguish you oh I don't know pain I don't know pain I have no depth of pain I have no depth of suffering I don't know ridicule all right so here we're hearing another one of those emotion sporadic tangents that do not make sense so he's here saying I don't know pain and he's starting to escalate he's starting to open up his body language and engage a little bit more in this is frustration and agitation in regards to that which does not make any sense in regards to what was being asked and he's saying verbally that he doesn't know pain he doesn't he doesn't know pain he doesn't it's it's a fascinating rather confusing way that he's displaying this point of view that he has which he will then very immediately switch back over and say well now I I actually I really do know pain I know pain very well it's a learning tool Etc and so these switching back and forth again is highlighting his mental instability at the time it's complex let's watch I don't know all the bad things I haven't been punished by you all my life since I was 10 years old I've been in every reformed school you got across the country and used to lay down and have to get my ass whipped till I couldn't walk tell me about some pain and that's our fault that's all people no a fault make strong good pain understand pain not bad Pain's not bad it's good it teaches you things all right so now we're hearing a fascinating play verbally that he's doing here and there's some nonverbals that go along with that he's saying obviously don't know pain and then he switches to this I wasn't beat until I couldn't walk side of things and I don't know pain and then you get this feeling that he's trying to say no like you don't know pain like I know pain and he's becoming more aggressive again and so there's this comparison game which again is pulling his ego into the center of things everything that Charles Manson did was very egocentric he was very very self-absorbed throughout the entirety of his crimes and his just ongoings in life in general and then he's starting to kind of back up and create a little bit of distance and open up his body language again and you're hearing a little bit of tenseness coming to his voice as he's saying no pain pain is good it teaches you lessons and things like that so we're seeing this weird flip-flop again and this is one of the things that was very common with Charles Manson was this slipperiness of talking to him what I felt it compared to was was watching somebody try to hold on tightly to a bar of wet soap it's very difficult to get a hold of and that's how he orchestrated himself during these interviews very slimy weasy kind of person in general and tried to answer as many questions without answering any questions that he possibly could let's watch it teaches you things like when you put your hand in fire oh you know not to do that again yeah yeah I understand that written accounts indicate that you told the authorities don't let me out I can't cope with the outside world do you have a recollection of that and they make a desperate plea out of something man there's no desperate plea out of it say I maniac's outside let me back in I I didn't use the word desperate that's your word yeah well your your inflection in your voice tones were uh implications there well all right going to go ahead and pause there so now we're hearing him start to pack on some of these emotional implications behind the interviewer's questions that did not exist before letting us know again his level of insecurity in and of himself and so he's extremely egocentric and he's not very cure in himself which these are fascinating psychological patterns to be able to point out here during this time he continually is looking down into the side now that looking down into the side could be interpreted as perhaps shame however that's not contextually what's happening within the conversation here it doesn't seem as though there's a space for shame with what Manson's saying so this looking down to the side has to have another meaning or else that's just where he comfortably looks so we'll have to keep our eye on that as it continues on through the interview to see if there's anything that gives some clarity to that we're hearing some of these verbal patterns that are letting us know his mindset who he was as a person and the complications that all kind of bubbled around in his brain beforehand let's just keep watching there well you use the word Maniacs on the outside how are you different from The Maniacs on the outside and why do you call them Maniacs because you know something they think you are yeah it would reflect if you hold the negative I'm just going to go ahead and pause here so I have to give kudos again to this interviewer he is showing some signs of nerness or agitation uh in a physiological sense mostly made prevalent by the Dew of his skin he's starting to sweat he's feeling rather nervous about being in the room with Manson at this time however he's not letting that nervousness creep into his voice at all and he's also maintaining a level of non-verbal control as well even down to using a pointer finger towards Charles Manson during this rather intense interview so we're seeing some of these indicators that Manson was definitely a a force to be reckoned with but the interviewer was able to take that hold that and continue forward while still carrying out a fairly decent interview have to give kudos to that that's just something that I was noticing numbly from him let's let's home back in on mansom though a negative up to the light you don't see the light you just see the negative so I'm a reflection of your negative there's no doubt about that and I can handle that also I've been handling Ain I I don't know have you well I've been up and down these damn hallways in and out of these nut Wars for the last 10 years you think you could follow that act I'm playing for my life you working for money again we're hearing Manson have this mindset of I am a bad guy you all think that I'm a bad guy and I can handle that so he's taking this you versus me everyone versus me mindset and then along with that he's escalating it to a level of Confrontation to where he's now making it personal towards the interviewer I'm fighting for my life you're just doing your job side of things so Manson's desire for combatant interactions was rather intense and it did fuel a lot of his interactions before he was incarcerated as well not the least of which was his Helter Skelter racial War attempt that he had where he wanted there to be conflict and would go so far as to to spur on conflict and that could be for a number of reasons not the least of which is as he was growing up he was likely very comfortable and was familiar with states of conflict to where later on if there weren't points of conflict he would trigger them so that he could feel like he was back in his element again so we see that sort of patterning come in here let's just keep watching when you say you're playing for your life am I to assume that you think that someday you're going to get out of here get out of here get out of here where would I go now see what would you do if you got out of here okay with that Manson's a little bit thrown by this you could see that because of the overt manipulators that come in the self soothing gestures the preining that he starts to do very overtly with his hair after this question is asked he has his forced fake laugh in there and then he verbally does a bind time restating of what was already said before and all of this lets us know that he's right now scrambling psychologically to be able to come up with some sort of clever rhetoric to what has been stated before and hopefully non-verbally speaking around that we'll be able to see whether or not it's going to be a positive or A negative we saw a little crinkling in there in his nose and down at the corners of his nose that could be a possible indicator of disgust but it's not something that stuck out to me as prevalent enough to be able to say he's definitely feeling disgusted in this area so I would want to just continue to watch here got out of here what if they said they said to you tomorrow morning Charles Hey listen you're free you can go wherever you want to go do whatever you want to do what would you do I'll probably go out front of on the grass is sit out if you got out of here there are a lot of people who think You' so he answers without really answering what would you do and his response is a very immediate response like I would get out and go up front and sit on the grass which could be true U that nobody honestly nobody cared about that response that's not what the point of the question was so again this is Manson trying to take a question and manipulate his way around that question answering it without answering it at all so again we're seeing another point of manipulation from Manson after this whole slew of self- soothing that's fascinating it seems as though his response to any form of situation be it question or scenario that challenges him is to have a level of agitation and then figure out a way to manipulate his way around it fortunately the interviewer kind of sticks with this line of questioning let's just see people who think you'd go start killing again again who you guys are misinformed I haven't killed anyone I didn't break the law judge knew that but people didn't want to hear it the judge knew it he washed his hands he said I know it but what can I do people want this judge never said that judge knew that's what old said no judge didn't say it he got off shook the hands didn't he you're so white and pure judge didn't say you were innocent are you innocent innocent of what well that's what I'm saying none of us are innocent yeah just because you're convicted in a courtroom doesn't mean mean you're guilty or something what does mean you're guilty well you know you're guilty what about shade what about him well what about him pause here again we're having this whole little Bandy back and forth where the interviewer is employing and pushing this specific line of questioning and implications thereof and Manson is doing everything he can to ridle out from underneath that he he devalues the the quality of the legal system he devalues the word of the judge he misquotes the judge and then he tries to turn a question back around onto the interviewer himself and all of these are manipulation points then again this is his characteristic is if he's not comfortable with a line of thought or questioning instead of denying it or or responding to it genuinely he tries to manipulate his way out of half to even acknowledge it or he tries to manipulate it over into an area where he then feels he can respond to it without actually responding to the original line of questioning which we're about to see him do here he got killed well the word is you killed him word is that you're an old woman word is you have turkey in sky word is I don't know what word is somebody else tell you that I didn't tell you that kill Shay hell no did you cut to him's ear off hell yes why why how' that feel when you cut cut his ear off uh what did it feel like yeah well I had done what he said so word is and then again Manon tries to divert now throughout all of this he's maintaining this look down into the side he rarely looks up so from this point on I'm going to be paying careful attention to when he does look up to check in with the interviewer or see if his words are landing a lot of the times when a person is extremely manipulative like that and refuses to hold eye contact the points that they do is to see if if these things that they're saying are starting to land or to gauge with the emotional responses of the other person and so instead of it being something to where it's a look up for emotional connection or social connection he's looking at it as a a means or a tool so he's doing that and again he's diverted the attention of I don't you know word is word who even cares like you there could be turkey in the sky and again a lot of these rather illogical comebacks to the statements being said start surfacing again on top of that we're seeing a consistent manipulator as he's pushing his hair out of his face here all of this could be easily avoided by him not looking in the direction that he is or by simply sitting down and composing himself for the interview as a normal person would all of which he refuses to do and I'm sure the partial reason for that is because he does not want to be controlled let's just continue watching done what he said for about 20 years I've done everything he told me to do and I got to thinking now why don't this guy do something I tell him to do and he said um no I said well how comes I'm always doing what you tell me to do but then you never do what I say do and he said well blah blah blah so I said now you do what I say and he said no I said you do exactly what I say and he said no I'm telling you I'm not asking you I'm telling you you do exactly what I said and that's about the extent of it all this all cult all that Hocus Pocus stuff that you guys are playing I don't know nothing about all that you know nothing about something called Helter Skelter tell me Char I'm going to go ahead and pause here so something that Manson has displayed here is his frustration again with people not listening to what he wants them to do and so this interaction that he's having with this person in his past talking about how he had to do what this other person said and now it's time for him to start giving the the commands here and as that is met with any level of resistance we're even even seeing Manson's representation of himself grow more angry and a little bit less controlled another thing to note is that when he's angry he does a specific look down at his nose at the person to which he's speaking too which is another indicator of his own psychological mindset of elevation above whoever he's speaking to he feels like he's better than the person that he's speaking to here he felt like he was better than the person he was speaking to at the time and anytime that that is met with resistance anger is something that follows and anger is definitely a catalyst for poor decision making so as we're seeing this start to really form it's making a lot more sense as to what Manson's mindset was behind it everything and why he pushed the way he did also helps us understand how very involved in the crimes that were carried out in his name he was by absolute necessity due to his displays here one could then extrapolate that based off of this point here seeing his response and his recollection to people confronting him and going up against him that that would not be an isolated incident that he would in fact still respond with this anger and agitation to whoever decided to push up against him this is not unheard of and as his need to be manipulative and Charming fell away then his anger would replace that and it would become more overtly demanding and commanding rather than manipulative so that's just something that we're able to make note of as we're seeing this come through here let's continue watching tell me Charles I don't know it's a fairy it's worse than a fairy tale it's a fairy tale it's a it's it's a comedy it's a comedy tragedy the body of Sharon tatas make believe uh that's make that's make believe that's make believe to the people that went in there and did what they did and who were those people you who you know yeah but you know who they were sure know who they were they were with you at the spawn Ranch they were part of this thing called if not the Manson family or the Manson cult the the Manson Ranch call it so then what you dealt the hand down in La you and that press you dealt the hand you put me on Life Magazine had me convicted before I walked in the courtroom you had what people wanted to buy when they wanted to buy it they didn't give a damn if they had to convict a district attorney they had have convicted the whole building to get that dollar bill going there they had big bucks going there they made 27 million, 100 million I'm bombing 10 $15 from my friend here here's another newspaper account that you going me go ahead and pause here so again we're seeing this aggression and frustration and anger coming from Manson as he's being challenged his point of view is being challenged by somebody who is not backing down and what's ironic to me is as he's displaying these various forms of aggression nonverbally and verbally what he is verbally saying is that he didn't have me he really didn't have anything to do with anything more or less implying that the people who carried out the crimes did the crimes on their own willy-nilly wants which doesn't line up with anybody that Manson himself wants around him as we've seen from Manson he wants people around him that he can manipulate and can tell what to do or what to think he is even trying to do it here and is getting agitated as it doesn't work so if he's getting agitated within One Singular short interview you can only imagine what he would do to the people that he wants around and how very very controlling he would have had to been in regards to those people around which logical processing then forces us down the Avenue of they would not have done XYZ unless Manson had wanted XYZ to be done because he does not want people around him that do what he doesn't want them to do so that's letting us know what his involvement would have been even if he hadn't personally put hands to weapons and carried out the crimes himself he was absolutely in control and the instigator of it let's continue watching out that you can now speak to since you haven't done it before that on the night following the uh killings at the house on SEO Drive in Los Angeles you accompanied four people to a home occupied by Mr and Mrs Leo Lanka yeah that you went inside that house and you tied them up and assured them that they were not going to be hurt MH that you went back outside and sent caban and krenwinkel and Watson and natkins inside the house to kill him true or false M did you do that chair's getting hot huh did you do that did I kill anyone no did you go in and tie at the Lanas sner very simple question that night this is a huge huge red flag in any interview situation if you ask a very straightforward yes and no question the response to it can be a straightforward yes and no answer things to be able to pay attention to and be aware of is non-verbally speaking if any level of manipulators self- suing gestures or postural adjustments come in during that that lets lets you know that there is a level of psychological processing that's happening there and something's going on inside that person's brain that they're not wanting to make privy which again if this is a yes and no question immediate red flag he does so very overtly he shuts down and he starts having manipulators and he even goes so far as to do a massive postural change very intentionally done to where he stands up moves the stool starts pacing looking around and then he makes eye contact with the interviewer again with this looking down his nose at the interviewer this level of aloofness too all lining up with his extremely overinflated sense of self and then he tries to divert the initial question the question was did you go in and tie up and his response is to well I didn't kill anyone not the question interviewer does great and doubles down I didn't say did you kill somebody I said did you tie somebody up that night and then again again Manson hones in and he's like well that night again this is another manipulation point he trying to figure out how to tie everything up into semantics rather than just answering the straightforward yes or no question and the only reason there would be to do that is if the straightforward yes or no answer was implicative of him again considering the context of what we've seen both verbally and non-verbally this is him admitting to guilt without admitting to guilt it's a fascinating thing let's continue watching August 10th 1960 milon that late August the 10 you6 why duck it why DOD it why not answering yes or no once and for all what it behind you is it me did I kill anyone did you tie up the Lanas Atkins testified you did that's what Susie said that's what she said it and you remember you were in the courtroom when she said it she's written three books and each time she said something different mhm each time did you tie him up did I well we came down from Ab oh my goodness I'm getting frustrated with M at this point just answer the question again he's backed into a corner and you could see him desperately trying to figure out a way to Riggle out of this corner which lets us know the only reason that he has to rle out of the corner is because the answer to that is yes I tied them up that's his only answer if he says no Then he is lying and at that point then he he must feel obviously that if he lies at this point he'll be caught out in it and now he's going to start poking at anybody else that he can so not the least of which was the person who has said yes he tied them up he did the things he's like well they've changed their story so many times that you know who can even who can even pay attention to what they say to which the interviewer is like this why we're asking you and we want you to add some clarity to this but he won't because the clarity to this is an affirmation as to what has been said about him which he can't do because that means he's guilty and he can't say that so let's watch [Music] adene and let's stay in Los Angeles August 10 19 69 there was a Hole in the Wall Gang there why don't you want to talk about it Charles why don't you want because I'm an Outlaw and I go so far and then that's all you know fascinating so he's picked up pacing here he's fidgeting very regularly with his microphone cord he's looking down constantly rarely making eye contact with the person he wants to be any where else than where he is here this is obviously a very good line of questioning that the interviewer is on right now and again kudos to the interviewer for sticking to this questioning and not letting him wriggle on by it he's now pointed at the person who accused him he's pointed at local gangs he's pointed at any other thing that he could possibly point at he's also now shifted around to saying well well I'm just a an outlaw which is then him taking and weaponizing a level of victimization that he has then placed on himself so that perhaps there will be a little bit less heat on him for this question because he's an outlaw and it only goes up to and it all of it sounds rather illogical and irrational and again this is this is part of his Insanity starting to creep through as he's been behind bars and going on in age here it's I would I would I would be getting frustrated at this point as the interviewer I have to give kudos to the one that is doing a a pretty decent job right now let's continue and if you did like asking Jesse James and if and and and if and and and if as others have written and as others have testified and as the media has reported you did that yeah and you sent your friends back in to do the deed aren't you Howard my friends back in to do the terrible deed does that make deed turn on did we the castle there with the vampires and the Frankenstein and the uh bugs and lizards dying in the deserts do we have the water that's dying and the whales are being killed and the seals We Go Again Lay It Off on somebody else let's point to all the other arm I'm in the world all by myself yeah on this one you are yeah yeah who's okay if that's the way you see it for you you never talked about this before but I'm going to make it I'm try it one more time now you can see them AR you got a pistol on you no sir they wouldn't let me in here if I had a pistol you know that as well as I do so why even ask the question D well I just thought you might not like what I done you want to do something about it I don't much care for what you've done yeah lot of people don't how do you feel about that I don't think you're a monster Charles how yeah they think you're a monster because you reflect this news media on me cult leader I never had a long hair before I got busted I never had a beard before I got busted I I went to shave and the guy said no you can't shave I said I need a razor shave no you can't shave let me get a haircut he no we don't want you to change your appearance they said I had a great family and I was the following and leaders and all that there was no followers and leaders a bunch of kids out the ranch playing to me playing at what playing at Living do you miss okay so we're seeing an agitated Manson pace around and continue to deflect and divert attention and and be weasy and squirly and slippery with his responses and is now trying to attack the interviewer by saying the interviewers a monster and then trying to claim innocence that he wasn't a monster he was just like this really chill fun happy go-lucky guy that liked to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed why if innocent would you not just say you know I didn't do this obviously that's not something that's an option for him let's continue watching women certainly my goodness yeah damn right yeah what do you think of women oh I like them yeah they're nice if they're put together well and everything and they're soft and spicy yeah they're nice BL they keep their mouth shut and do what they're supposed to do why do you say that cuz that's what a woman's supposed to do keep her mouth shut and do what she's supposed to do sure and besides the Sun that you had in so right before this whole very sexy the statement that he says here he's talking about how there were just a bunch of kids out at the ranch doing living just living and yes there were a bunch of young people out at this Ranch just living of which he was the eldest and all of them attested to looking up to him as a fatherly figure which then if he's a fatherly figure that's a level of control that he has over these people which then again Cycles back around to him having to be in control of what was being done then after that the interviewer is asking him about his relationship with women and all that his resp the exclusive response that he has throughout all this is very objectifying which just again highlights for Manson his own self-importance he feels like he's the best thing to happen to the Earth and that young people women just anybody should probably listen to him and if they don't listen to him he starts to get pretty confrontational about it letting us know two things e both of those things one he has as we've covered very overinflated sense of self and then two he has a level of insecurity that if other people don't agree with him he takes that as a personal affront and he can't handle that so we're seeing just all of these classic traits of somebody who is primed for for being a cult leader which he was so let's continue watching that you had in your marriage you've got what four other children somewhere I don't uh uh think I've been uh uh uh responsible for as much as you people want to lay on me all right somewhere out there somewhere there's at least one son that we know of that's your child who's probably about 25 or 26 years old you talk to that kid what are you going to say to him you got to catch it on your own boy trains hard row rough and that's it it's all I knew D anyone ever told me all right again another instance of victimization my life was hard so I'm just going to make sure that everybody else's is hard too which is just victimization that has been weaponized so he's now showing himself that he believes himself to be a victim in all of this and he wants to weaponize that to where even if he has the opportunity to help another person I wasn't helped so I'm not going to help anybody else it's all letting us know very clearly who he really was as a person despite whatever weird smoke that he tried to blow at people h it becomes extremely blaringly obvious who he was and how he functioned if you pay attention to the details rather than just the words let's keep watching and you want to hear something yeah he'll do it better than me do what whatever he does he'll do it a little better kids do don't they sometimes yeah that's what makes them such a guess they always seem to get through how were you in school I hear that you weren't too good but maybe I heard uh depends on which school I did very well at reform school yeah yeah I did good in uh in every place that uh I was ever told to do good in I've been an outlaw ever since I was born I went to reform school when I was about 10 and I learned to box and cry and I learned to do all the things that you do in reform school then I went to uh I escaped there a bunch of times and I went to prison and I learned everything that you do in prisk and I talked to all the guys and asked him everything this is fascinating so he's already contradicted himself again non-verbally speaking what is consistent throughout all of this as he looks down into the side that seems to be his area of looking for thinking and whether or not this is to come up with some form of smoke to blow or to actually try to regurgitate some form of fact that's all centered around in that area of looking he still seems to be rather agitated as he's pacing and doing manipulators and sitting up and sitting back down down fiddling with his microphone cord his chair his shirt anything that he can we're seeing those self- soothing gestures come out the agitation is very obvious then he says I did really good in reform school and flip it just about a couple sentence later and he's saying no I I ran away from reformed school a lot uh which is the opposite of a good good student he doesn't help himself in this area at all I don't know if he was hoping to be able to to be released from prison but if he were this was the wrong way to go about it let's continue watching guys and ask him everything they knew and they told me all the things they knew and then I went to the end of it and then the old man would be ready to die and he'd say well son sincerity is the best gimmick remember that I said all right be sincere that's that'll win it he said that's it sincerity and honesty he said he'll do it he'll check him every time I said well sincere and honesty I never tried that I tried everything else but maybe I'll try sincere and honesty so then I looked in the book and it says the Wes of sin is death so wasn't until he got to the point of being impr prisoned that he decided to consider doing sincerity and honesty this however this whole Spiel that he's now saying here has taken on an era of performative ism he's no longer emoting genuinely he's starting to do this very stage representation of himself fake laughs are in there an odd non-verbal display with his hands very tightly crossed so this could be seen as defensive we're seeing a manipulator up here facial manipulators can be uh in relation to increased psychological processing so we're seeing that come out as he's fiddling with his beard fake laughs this is this is almost like a Persona that he's put on into this specific little area here while talking about being sincere and honest which is just it's it's a fascinating contrast between reality and his perception thereof let's continue watching this though death now I F Well I don't want to die so maybe I have been sinful here maybe I am wrong maybe I'll take a look at my life and say well I'm going to change and start all over you know and I know I go to God and I say hey man you going to forgive me and he going to say what do you do you forgive you and what' you come to me for forgive yourself man I be bothered how do you feel about spending the rest of your life fascinating approach to religion too apparently he was reading the Bible in this area and he was going to turn to that religious side of things but then he was like in my mind if I approached God God would say well why are you coming to me and forgive yourself which that highlights Manson's view of the world as that it was very much him versus the world and he had everything more collected he was smarter he was better he was wiser than everybody else around and even with his view of religion God himself defers the Forgiveness Factor the power of forgiving of sins to to Manson himself again but yeah I you looking through this it's hard for me to Fathom how a person could watch Manson be it now then anything along those lines and see anything but the manipulator that he is it's just Fascinate let's keep watching your life prison well we're all our own prison we each are our own wardens and we do our own times we get stuck in our own little trips and we kind of Judge ourselves the way we do you know uh I can't judge nobody else best thing I can do is try to judge myself and live with that let's assume that one day hey that's not bad advice that's not how Manson lived that's not how he actually orchestrated his life that's just what he touted here in this specific thing and again this seems to be another point of the manipulation which he's he's a very efficient and proficient manipulator which does make sense as to why some of the younger generation of the time more gullible were likely to follow somebody who could answer these questions with seemingly wise advice on occasion uh all the while maintaining this level of manipulative control over everybody that makes sense contextually but to me he just seems like a very nasty person in general let's keep watching you were parole let's just un R let's just make blade do you ever think you will be yeah do I think I will be well I never been parole before I went up to the board and then never went they said I was incable and that Not only was I incable but I'd never grow up and I kind of agreed with him if you got out tomorrow do you have any scores to settle on the outside scores well do not have any scores out there and we're making the right on not tell you buddy well I don't write that note I'm stupid make him believe and then he shifts and he does a whole slew of nonverbals here as he's crashing in between emotional displays none of them are genuinely leading into the other letting us know that everything that he's displaying there is unfelt it's not actually based in Psychology he's just displaying all of these different things which then to me lets me know that he does have a level of quick and overt control over his non-verbal communication he's able to display what he wants as we just saw here again the the context around it being able to pay attention to the profiles of those emotions being displayed the context verbally and with the rest of his body is important to be able to make note of with the genuine non-verbal displays that he has here but as far as face value displays as soon as he's sing and we're play acting here he begins to playact very overtly it seems as though it might be a subtle nod that he's making to his own sense of control that he has in the situation and of him himself let's continue watching to the point to where I'm not really sure and believe it or not there are a lot of people on the outside that think about the possibility of you coming out of here and they're genuinely scared of oh boy I might just just make dust everything terrible one little guy terrible oh or how insecure are we as human beings put all our fear on one little guy you're afraid to let him out he might break all the toys why do you say little guy because I'm not the guy you trying to make out of me that's not me I don't know what my way is everybody keep little guy so yes he's trying to downplay his own significance in this because it's his point of manipulation that he has here however what I do find fascinating is that people are terrified that he'll come out and Inspire more of these brutal crimes that he has already inspired we've already covered in this interview alone interview alone how much influence he had over those situations people were afraid that he would get out and do that again and those brutal crimes were centered around the vicious murders of various people but when he's saying he tries to downplay the fear by comparing brutal murderers to Breaking toys so it lets you also know that his sense of guilt centered around the crimes that had been carried out at very Le least just carried out in his name he viewed it as very inconsequential it's just it highlights a little bit of his psychology behind everything again it's all characterized throughout all of this with this forced fake laugh that nobody's really buying at this point but he continues to stick to this weird little display that he has here let's continue watching there's only a little bit left yes is everybody keeps telling me I got all these things I read the other day where I had magical powers and now I told everybody in the chapel I said Z zap zap zap I said where's my magical powers man you can't read you can't believe what you read in the Press I could get no magical powers mystical trips and all that kind of crap yeah it's kind of silly yeah got witches and devils and um one guy come up and said I I heard you said you were Jesus I said uh no man I ain't said nothing he said I'm glad he said I'm damn glad I said why he said I know you ain't here I said how do you know he said cuz I am I said okay but I mean you know I've been in the net for CH even I beg begrudgingly laughed at that little joke situation now the some of the superpowers Supernatural powers that he was accused of having were centered around his ability again to influence people not the least of which was his ability to possibly hypnotize people which then at the time especially and even still today to an extent there was a lot of misconception centered around hypnotism not the least of which was this forced hypnotism to where the subject of the hypnotism could just be hypnotized without them giving any level of consent which is not how hypnotism works there's a level of suggestibility that has to exist there to begin with and then along with that the person who was being hypnotized has to be willing to be hypnotized for it to fully function and for people then to be able to say well they forced hypnotized person to feel a certain way or do a certain thing that's just not how hypnotism genuinely functions again there is a copious quantity of information out there in regards to things like hypnotism or various Mentalist style capabilities if you would like to be able to hear from somebody who is very efficient at this go and check out Spidey uh I believe he runs a channel called the behavioral Arts go and check out his channel drop a comment saying hey would you mind covering something about hit ISM or mentalism he's a very good source for that uh so go and check him out also he does non-verbal communication reading as well so yeah consider going and looking at that but to have Manson bring that up there that would be a genuine point of where I would believe him that he doesn't you know doesn't have any mystical Powers but then he tells that little story about the Jesus thing and you could see the interviewer laugh I had to laugh a little bit it was actually a kind of a funny joke moment and at that moment you actually can kind of see what a genuine laugh from Manson looks like and sounds like as he's actually laughing to a joke rather than this forced fake titling laugh that he had done throughout the rest of it there's 6 seconds left let's watch that and then we'll talk the net word for 10 years so you can't expect me to uh to rationally take this thing serious and that's it rationally take this thing serious uh which is I feel rich coming from him uh talking about rational as throughout all of this his irrational line of thinking is extremely highlighted and made very prevalent through a number of avenues so he wants to be in control or wanted to be in control of every aspect of everything that he touched he wanted people to see him in a certain way and do everything he could to be viewed in that certain way if anybody was pointing fingers at him or feeling like they were going to implicate him at any level he would become very squirly and slippery with his responses non-verbally speaking any time he was challenged he became agitated and aggressive and again all of the verbal narrative throughout all of this it reveals an extremely overinflated sense of self so that's my little analysis of Charles Manson helping us understand some of these serial killers what they're processing is like things to help us understand our day-to-day lives to be able to see are there people in our lives that are doing things like this are we just blindly following things that can lead into areas like this or we asking the questions that are important and doing our own thinking in and of ourselves so let me know what you think in the comments of this video is there something that I did miss about Manson and if so is would you like me to do more videos on it would you like me to continue down this case perhaps look at other people extraneous to him perhaps some of his acolytes that he encouraged to go out and do these crimes things like that let me know in the comments below if there are any other requests or suggestions you can do that in the comments or in the socials or via email however you feel like doing that I have a link tree in the description of this video that has some resources it has my socials linked it has my credentials everything like that that you could kind of hopefully want in a little package it's all down in there if you would like to go check that out thanks again to upside for sponsoring this video I highly suggest you use that service it could save you a little bit of money here and there but but without further Ado that's all that I've got for the today my name is Logan and you have been oh so awesome as you always
