Helter Skelter
Manson's philosophy was that a black man was going o rise up and start killing all of the whites and cause a race war. The black man would win, but not hold onto his power because of his inferiority. In 1968, The Beatles had released a song from their White Album called "Helter Skelter." Manson believed that the lyrics fit into his theory. The racial Armageddon was given this name. The Manson Family would survive by hiding in the desert. From the Book of Revelations, Manson pulled the idea that there was a "bottomless pit" in which led to a city of gold. The Manson Family would then take refuge there and estimated that their population would rise to 144,000. Then they would fight the black man and take over the world. Manson would be the fifth angel, Jesus Christ. The other four angels were The Beatles This led to the murders at the Tate and LaBianca houses because they believed that they would need to show a black man how to do it.
