there WAS no Manson Family till we got busted. There was a music group known as The Family Jams. But, you know, all that Manson Family thing -- the D.A. put that together. There was the family of the underworld called F.I.S. -- Family of Infinite Soul -- but that is the brotherhood of God.
Charles Manson
Everyone's says crazy fool, your always gazing at the night,
with my arms around a tree, loving life with all my might...

THE EARTH IS BEING DESTROYED FASTER THAN YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT. MY GOD, MAN, CANT YOU SEE YOUR BOTHER STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU GIVING ALL?
Brenda McCann (Gold)
1970
When you look at things in a positive manner,everything can work out perfect. You know, like as fast man can go he is destroying everything he can destroy. The pace that he has picked up in sawing the trees down, killing the animals and shooting everything...You know, there's one thing I flashed on the other day: a police man took me over, and on his helmet, you know, right on his forhead, there's a beast, a bear, a bear beast on his forhead. And I say 'Well, can't the people see the mark of the beast? it's not a hard thing to see.
Charles Manson, 1970
