Jesse Michels

Did he have any criminal background?

Where do you think he was implanted with this thing?

Was he at UCLA?

Because Jolly West was obviously head of psychiatry at UCLA.

Were there any connections between him and Jolly before the bombing?

They removed a computer chip from his butt.

And then you hear things like Charles Manson, responsible for the most famous murders, the Tate-LaBianca murders.

Right.

Sharon Tate, famous actress at the apex of her career, murdered in cold blood while pregnant with Roman Polanski's, uh, I don't know, son or daughter, but, uh...

And we now know from Tom O'Neill's amazing book, Chaos.

Very amazing book.

Amazing book.

And just hard-headed journalism over decades.

He started as like this beat reporter, like looking into, you know, it was like the anniversary of the Manson murders.

He was just going to do an article.

And then he met Vincent Bugliosi, who was the lead prosecutor on the case, who wrote the book Helter Skelter and realized, oh, my God, this narrative is entirely off.

It's all cover stories.

It's all a cover story and realize that Manson in 1967 was going in consistently to the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic in San Francisco.

Exactly.

And Jolly West had an office there.
