Top Reddit reviews mentioning Murder & Mayhem True Accounts books:
Read "Devil in the White City". It alternates between HH Holmes and the World's Fair.
The book they're discussing is well researched, covering 3 decades of the Triad gangs and CCP agents using Macau Casinos and Great Canadian Gaming casinos to launder money
https://www.amazon.com/Wilful-Blindness-network-tycoons-Infiltrated/dp/0888903014
It's referencing all the lawsuits and interviews with RCMP officers and casino employees that were involved in many of the known cases of laundering money through Great Canadian Gaming, which was sold late last year to a NY hedge fund.
good stuff - have you read this:

You absolutely can. The Goldman's sued for the rights to the book and won back in 2007. They published it under the title If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer. You can buy it pretty much anywhere. Here's an Amazon link.
Not exactly. It wasn't leaked it was legally published. The Goldman's sued for rights to the book and won the rights to publish and 90% of the profits. They retitled it If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer and published it. You can buy it pretty much anywhere. Here's an Amazon link.
Has anyone ever read this book? Programmed to Kill: The Politics of Serial Murder by the late David McGowan. It sounds like it would give you a lot of information you'd be interested in.
I read it about five years ago. It was very interesting and exhaustively sourced, and it was scary how much of this stuff is easily verified. Especially the CIA-connected Finders, who McGowan individually and specifically names.
If anyone wants a copy, I might have a PDF somewhere.
Edit: Does anyone know a site where I can upload the PDF without some drawn-out process for making an account? I could also just email it to everyone that wanted it after this thread dies deep off the front page in a couple days.
>Novelist Larry McMurtry wrote that the book makes use of much recent research and is the most complete biography of Joseph Smith published to date, but that in reading Bushman, it is difficult to determine "where biography ends and apologetics begin.
and all its awards are from Mormon organizations, too
people who want an honest accounting would be much better served to read Jon Krakaur's masterful expose of the "church", <em>Under the Banner of Heaven</em>
Smith was a con man through and through, it's a good thing he died as young as he did before he could do even more damage
Check out the book The Devil in the White City
Its a really fascinating look at the World's fair in Chicago with going into H. H. Holmes as well. Now I'll warn you, it's a thick book that focuses more on the World's Fair, but it was super interesting.
Have you read this book? Some actual concrete stuff that happened.

The question is, is this systemic or a few rouge lunatics? The answer is disappointing.
I see MK Ultra has already been mentioned, and rightly so. There is also a theory that the government infiltrated the anti-war movement, and the surrounding hippie culture, and poisoned it with drugs to distract it from it's goal of ending the wars of the Military-Industrial Complex.
A story about H.H. Holmes, “America’s First Serial Killer” told in the cadence, rhyme scheme and ~meter of the song ‘Alexander Hamilton’ by Lin Manuel Miranda. Because, why not?
More or less historically accurate. If you’re interested in this guy, check out Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. Also a good story if, for some reason, you’re really into park design and American municipal politics of the 19th century.
Happy Friday!
There is some compelling evidence that Ruby "went crazy" due to the fact that the psychiatrist who went to "talk" to him in jail was actually an MKULTRA psychiatrist (i.e. knows how to fuck up people's brains).
Sounds ridiculous, as though we're just mashing together conspiracy theories, but look into it.
It's covered in the book Chaos by Tom O'Neill.
There's a lot more to this douchebag's story than meets the eye.

He's a POS and his family traces back to the Mayflower. Just like Morrison's father staged the Gulf of Tonkin.
Another moron from "the anointed" scrum who think they're better than you.
CIA created Crosby. Talentless hack.
Manson's "family" appear to have been an op as well.
https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Charles-Manson-History-Sixties/dp/0316477559?tag=search0ce-20
little known is that, even after the Tate/La Bianca killings, arms of this group were killing down into the eighties.
rumour has it that Manson, after taking up residence in the CA jail system for the rest of his life, became the head of drug distribution within that prison system (or someone was using him as figurehead). how do you go from being a "diryt hippy" to that?
things obviously weren't what they appeared to be.
This book answers a lot of related questions -I read it twice last year. https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Charles-Manson-History-Sixties/dp/0316477559
The Devil in the White City by Eric Larson. 50% of the book follows the elaborate and seemingly impossible construction of the Chicago World Fair and 50% follows the construction of serial killer H.H. Holmes' kill house. Cited on countless "100 books to read in a lifetime" articles.

Are you suggesting books like wilful blindness, that cover the decades of CCP agents money laundering activity through our casinos and into our housing markets, could actually be true?
It's a really good book for any of the deniers out there, how rigged a few games like money laundering and housing have been here, making the market more expensive for all of the non-criminals in the country
It's a book written by a Senator from Nebraska who was part of the committee that investigated a case in Omaha back in the 80s-90s.
You can find a PDF version free online; I don't have a link, but I know it's out there.
If you're more on the up and up you can buy it on Amazon.
There is also a documentary produced by the Discovery Channel, Conspiracy of Silence, that never aired but I would suggest reading the book first - it's much more detailed.
Fair warning, it is not always easy to read. It's not overly graphic, but it can be disturbing.
Fundamentalist Mormons marry multiple children many of the time.
Read a book for once in your life.
For youtub babbies
Chin up brother. To quote Carl Sagan, knowledge is preferable to ignorance.
Even when it sucks. Usually does. Just to be a dick and take you further down rabbit holes, check this out!

But in all seriousness I forget what it was like before learning real history, and I mostly forget being 18. I'm up to the ass in conspiracies and sources lol, anything you're interested in can be found but be careful on this sub. The meta conspiracy of there being bots, trolls, and worse here is true. There are also reasonable people, honestly I'm just here because you can't even discuss these topics with most people.
It goes deeper than this. Highly recommend this book:
Like for like with Aus, incredible.
> In principle, that would be impossible because it's blatant corruption.
If you think the government is in any way above blatant corruption, I have a bridge to sell you.
really good book just came out
https://www.amazon.com/Wilful-Blindness-network-tycoons-Infiltrated/dp/0888903014
Covers the Triad gangs buying up Vancouver housing since the 80's with joint ventures between CCP, Macau Casinos and Great Canadian Gaming assistance.
The author did his due diligence, everything is sourced from police, rcmp, casino employees and lawsuits as well as various news reports from some of the scandals. It is just amazing how certain certain gangs from Asia came here and laundered/parked their ill gotten gains in housing with open arms really.
You can see the cover here: https://smile.amazon.com/If-I-Did-Confessions-Killer/dp/0825305934
You really need to zoom in to see the "If" at the top of the "I", and not only is the lettering tiny, it's also very low contrast.

I want this book. Ill sell it to you for 20$ after i read it
>... Now, if you're brand-new to the series, you can be forgiven for not getting much, if any, of that from the experience of actually watching "The Wire" pilot. Though it has some roots in previous TV shows -- most specifically NBC's "Homicide," which was based on Simon's non-fiction book (and which Simon himself wrote for in its later years) -- for the most part, "The Wire" took a very different approach to narrative from any series in American history, so much so that it essentially had to teach you how to watch it. The cast is huge -- and the season one cast is tiny in comparison to later seasons, which would bring in new characters from the Baltimore docks, City Hall, schools, newspapers, homeless community, etc. -- and almost everyone you meet will play a key role in the unfolding storylines.

>Back in 2002, I would say it took me at least three or four episodes to get even a tenuous grasp of who all these people are, what they're about, to whom they owe their loyalty, etc. (If you are, in fact, watching the series for the first time -- or even for the first time in a long time -- I'd strongly suggest watching at least that many in a concentrated burst before attempting to move to a weekly schedule, even though that's the rate at which I'll be doing these reviews.)...
Holy cow - you weren't kidding about it being a thousand bucks. I haven't seen that book or pdf anywhere else, but an excellent examination of the case by John DeCamp (the children's lawyer) called "The Franklin Cover-Up" is on amazon for a very reasonable price.
I highly recommend it, although it is extremely disturbing and sometimes graphic about the crimes committed.

Very true.
I tried to allude to him and the rest of the Laurel Canyon scene's elite/ military ties in the second to bottom entry, but it probably needs some clarification. David McGowan's book and talks go into the distinct ties between Frank Zappa, David Crosby, Jim Morrison, Charles Manson, and others to military intelligence, who had a massive covert presence in the area.
In short, when Frank Zappa included the paranoid little line "there's this guy from the CIA and he's creeping around laurel canyon" on one of his earliest albums, I take him on his word.
