One way of looking at the Sharon Tate murders is as a drugland revenge killing. Manson had previously been the drug connection for and wonder child of rich heiress Abbie Folger, who was one of Tate's murdered guests. Another guest was a rival drug pusher/connection Voytek, who had taken Manson's place. Of course, the guests that night (except Tate) were enjoying a psychedic experience themselves...and by design NOT a murderous one. Perhaps Voytek was supplying clean drugs, without CIA additives--and hypnosis--which came from Manson. All the same, quite likely CIA could have known, specifically, when Folger and Voytek were there--at Tate's House. Then they lifted the cage, gave Manson the info. Manson knew his arch rival, but CIA/FBI had selected Tate. Why? She was chosen to have the most impact. The most beautiful movie starlet they could get. One specifically targeted at impressionable young boomers. There may be much more to this than that. She could have had special knowledge about the RFK assassination in particular, and also the JFK, as I speculated in an earlier post. There could be a confluence of reasons, which is why the Tate Murders were the first, and the last, as they provided the intended effect, mission accomplished.
Many along these connections might have no idea they were working for a government program. This almost certainly applies to Manson himself. Manson was a far right racist kook. But such views would have been prime material for a program like this. But to keep Manson from knowing he was part of a government program, there might well be several layers of equally unknowing individuals in between.
They may in fact see their mission, mostly, as undermining "communist" US government, through organizations such as John Birch Society, when actually they are unwittingly part of it...part of a secret program to discredit the counter culture.
So many of the players may have no idea of what they are doing in the overall picture. They are, for example, just delivering a picture, or an address, or going to a motion picture preview.
But nearer the top, people would have to know more. Some people just outside of government would just have to know, and be in a position to demand a lot of money for that knowledge. Such a person might become amazingly rich, starting around 1969. But there would be few of those, maybe only one, who had the most direct line to J Edgar Hoover. Many more of whom for which this was just a free movie show, or a meeting with a fellow right wing racist kook in a park. As a general rule, the people on the right wing populist side were government aligned. The people on the lefter side were not, generally, though some high key players (and likely drug pushers, hard drugs esp have been supplied through intelligence agencies as their way of controlling intellgence sources) had to be pretty left-wing friendly--and that's where knowledge and potential profits from this enterprise often would increase. Ugly guy like Manson knows nothing but does the business, smiling guy who designs the whole plan walks home with millions, and starts a billion dollar business.
