Manson a Patsy?
A Mae Brussell Broadcast From October 13, 1971.
A Mae Brussell Broadcast From October 13, 1971.
Mae was known as the queen of conspiracy research. She had a radio show on KLRB starting in June of 1971. Her theory is that Manson was a patsy created by the government to bring down the hippie movement. Mae can ramble on a bit, so you can fast forward to twenty minutes in (to get to the Manson stuff).
I can't say I agree with anything she says here. I just think it's interesting, that someone is taking this tack in 1971, right after the trial. I think Mae was a bit of a nut.... but she was a true original.
Some info on Mae Brussell:
Mae appeared as a guest on KLRB, a local FM radio station independently owned by Mr. and Mrs. Bob and Gloria Barron. Mae discussed her views on political assassinations and the New York Times release of the Pentagon Papers.
There were times when death threats forced Mae off the air -- one time by Charlie Manson family member Sandra Good in September 1975.
At one point Mae resorted to recording her shows at home on her small General Electric cassette tape recorder and privately mailed out copies to her subscribers. In 1983 Mae's show moved to KAZU in Pacific Grove and there it stayed until her last broadcast (#862) on June 13, 1988. On October 3rd of that year, at age 66, Mae died of cancer.
