Helter Skelter (Manson scenario)
In the months leading up to the Tate/LaBianca murders, Charles Manson often spoke to the members of his "Family" about Helter Skelter, an apocalyptic war arising from racial tensions between blacks and whites
Manson had been predicting racial war for some time before he used the term Helter Skelter.[3][4] His first use of the term was at a gathering of the Family on New Year's Eve 1968. This took place at the Family's base at Myers Ranch, near California's Death Valley.[4][5]
In its final form, which was reached by mid-February 1969,[6] the scenario had Manson as not only the war's ultimate beneficiary but its musical cause. He and the Family would create an album with songs whose messages concerning the war would be as subtle as those he had heard in songs of The Beatles.[3][7] More than merely foretell the conflict, this would trigger it; for, in instructing "the young love,"[8] America's white youth, to join the Family, it would draw the young, white female hippies out of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury.[6][9][10] Black men, thus deprived of the white women whom the political changes of the 1960s had made sexually available to them, would be without an outlet for their frustrations and would lash out in violent crimes against whites.[10][11] A resultant murderous rampage against blacks by frightened whites would then be exploited by militant blacks to provoke an internecine war of near-extermination between racist and non-racist whites over blacks' treatment. Then the militant blacks would arise to sneakily finish off the few whites they would know to have survived; indeed, they would kill off all non-blacks.
I am comparing this earlier sequence of events to today's Dash (ISIS) . I have never been able to figure out why they would piss off everyone, even executing a Chinese citizen today. They want a war between the Muslims and the rest of the world fought in the Middle East. I consider most of them thugs to begin with and get their kicks from killing people, just like all shootings in the US except grander. They are able to find people who think very little of their own lives that they gain self worth thinking of murdering many more with the exploding vest. I really don't think they could recruit well reasoned people. All the shooters are the same whether it be in the USA, Paris, Lebanon or a plane in the Sinai
Simply thugs who have no value of themselves or others.
