Hollywood Babylon Timeline ver.2
Shocking Information
Re: The Bug. Dial “M” for MURDER
Interviews and books of recent times have revealed an interesting web of love, sex, fear, murder and bad behavior. Here’s a few bullet points on the Nihilism Timeline:
–1959. Charles Manson operating a bogus talent agency, 3 Star Enterprises, out of Apt. 306, 6871 Franklin Ave. (Next door to Magic Castle, the apartments were owned by the Glover family. Later torn down for parking for Magic Castle.) Manson was pimping a 16 year old girl, whom he soon married so she could not testify against him in court.
–Early 1960s. Laurence Merrick, an Israeli Zionist fundraiser, comes to Hollywood with his wife Joan Huntington. They open The Merrick Studio Academy of Dramatic Arts to teach acting. Sharon Tate is one of their students. Their Studio, at 870 N. Vine St. in Hollywood, is very successful and receives “government” funding. The Merricks bought a house in Beverly Hills.

–Two weeks before Sharon was murdered, Victoria Vetri was at her house on Cielo Drive, and according to her ex-husband Bruce Rathgeb, Charles Manson came by looking for Terry Melcher. Someone, maybe Victoria, made a comment that Manson looked “creepy”. Victoria was later afraid that the remark was overheard by Manson, triggering the murder spree.

––August 13, 1969 Los Angeles Sheriff’s conduct the biggest raid in L.A. History at Spahn Ranch. Manson and others arrested but mysteriously released the next day. Word that the warrant had the wrong date was a lie. Tom O’Neill’s new book “Chaos” settles that one and much, much more.

Pretty amazing that Roman Polanski had a time machine and went forward to 1982 to buy a Glock 9mm and come back to 1969 to give to Victoria Vetri. Too bad he didn’t go backwards in time to prevent the murders. Can’t trust those fucking time machines to do shit right.
Good point. This came from the husband’s interview in the British press. It looks like he got the model of the weapon wrong, but his claim that Roman gave her the gun is still possible. Details of the
trial were never published in the U.S. press. If some researcher has the time, it would be of interest to view the actual trial transcript, probably a lot more info in there. If there are ever anymore
Hollywood Memorabilia shows allowed and if Victoria shows up again, I would like to ask her about that, although I’m not so sure she would want to talk about it. Thanks for your observation.
