Manson Phile: Charles Manson Interview With Geraldo Rivera (1988)

Source:Manson Phile- Geraldo Rivera trying to interview Charles Manson, in 1988.
"Bringing the truth to life, and to Geraldo, who was destroyed by Manson everytime Geraldo was thinking he got the best of him...

There is no lying in Manson's words, and like most people, Geraldo is unable to face the truth, or rather "Unable to see the forest for the trees"

Destroy your mind, don't think about it...

If you are willing to fight for something you believe in, then you should also be prepared to die for it... If you are willing to die for it, then you should also be willing to kill for it... Some join the military and fight for their country, kill for their country, die for their country and become respectable dead heroes; and, this is deemed justified and legal by the fighting side as there is no law in war---murder is only condoned when it seems VERY clear to the masses of fighting side, whether it is money, land, or even pride of doing the 'greater good' that they are fighting for...

But moreover, people fight for beliefs, using the idea of wrong and right as the premise and justification behind it---a self solving concept of hot and cold that appears to be complete and benign... We create our own idea of right and wrong, then outside of that we create what we are willing to admit is right and wrong, or rather what we are unwilling to admit to others about ourselves... This, creates the great inexcusable concept of society, a false sense of security that feels good by lying to ourselves which kills diversity and creates a 'universal standard' for everyone...

The human thought for progress is a fight before it is started, the articulation itself is the idea of insecurity, imbalance, hope... 

Progress would mean that society has to change, and society doesn't exist outside your box...

Destroy your mind, save yourself... There is no struggle...

One thing (and trust me there's more than one thing) that I do not respect about Charlie Manson is that he's never taken responsibility for his crimes and his life and has always tried to put everything on society and his upbringing. 

Of course Charles Manson had a rough start in life and never had a real family life and was passed around with no one wanting to raise him. But at the end of the day, we all including Charles always have a choice. We can treat innocent people well to the point we respect their right to life and not be hurt by other people. Or we don't and have others do our dirty work for us because we don't have the balls to do the jobs ourself. And personally murder the people who represent what we believe are holding us down meaning society.

Charlie deserved to have a real shot at life and for his father to stick around and raise him and for his mother to do the same thing and that didn't happen. Or at some point when he was struggling going from jail to jail and so-forth. Someone should've stepped in and tried to give him a start in life. And that never happened but we always have a choice to either do well or not and Charlie choose to murder.

Geraldo Rivera has always been a bit of a tabloid interviewer and talk show host. Doing shows on things that almost anyone with a conscience would want to keep to themselves or only discuss with their most respected friends. But he's very intelligent and a good interviewer. And didn't interview Charle Manson because he felt sorry for the man or thought he was wronged in someway. But to see how a man like that operates and try to see what goes on in his mind.
