Page 2

Charles Manson , né le 12 novembre 1934 à Cincinnati dans l'Ohio aux États-Unis et mort le 19 novembre 2017 à Bakersfield en Californie, est un criminel américain.

Dirigeant d'une communauté appelée « Manson Family » ou « Famille Manson » en pleine période hippie à la fin des années 1960, il se rend célèbre par une série d'assassinats dans la région de Los Angeles en 1969. Il est reconnu coupable, en 1971, du meurtre, très médiatisé, de l'actrice Sharon Tate, épouse du réalisateur Roman Polanski, alors enceinte de huit mois, et de quatre de ses amis. Il n'a pas commis lui-même les crimes, mais en est reconnu comme le commanditaire. Il est condamné à la peine de mort, commuée ensuite en une peine de prison à vie. Wikipedia

Charles Manson: Citations en anglais

“Pain's not bad. It's good. It teaches you things. Like when you put your hand in fire: Ow! You know not to do that again.”

Charles Manson's first prison interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbW0agGFv88 by 60 Minutes Australia (1981)

“We as human beings can invoke the ground here called the United States of America. And the reason our system has perpetuated in such a way is because all the powers of Europe and England and monarchies and all those big people; we have come over here and started another world where each man in the United States has that power because he has that courtroom.”

Interview with KALX radio at Vacaville http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G179-qOvCE8
Contexte: A lot of you young people, even though you go through college, you still don’t understand that courtroom. That courtroom is the court of the kings and lords of the world. We as human beings can invoke the ground here called the United States of America. And the reason our system has perpetuated in such a way is because all the powers of Europe and England and monarchies and all those big people; we have come over here and started another world where each man in the United States has that power because he has that courtroom. That courtroom belongs to every human being in the United States. And if you take that courtroom away from one human being, you’re taking that courtroom away from all human beings. Then what follows is you got kings and queens of yesterday – they’re gonna come and play croquet with your heads. They’re gonna take your courtrooms. They’re gonna take your money and they’re gonna take your country. They’re gonna take your resources. They’re gonna rip you off in every way you can think of because you didn’t give your own children the benefit of the courtroom that your fathers fought in battles and died for.

“If you are going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy.”

Interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C6K0umwZwo by Diane Sawyer (1994)

“I wanna say this to every man that has a mind, to all the intelligent life forms that exist on this planet Earth. I wish the British would say this to the Scottish Rites and the Masons and all the people with minds who have degrees of knowledge, and who are aware of courts, laws, United Nations, governments.
In the 40s, we had a war, and all of our economies went towards this war effort. The war ended on one level, but we wouldn't let it end on the other levels. We kept buying and selling this war. I'm not locked in the penitentiary for crimes, I'm locked in the Second World War. I'm locked in the Second World War with this decision to bring to the World Court - there must be a One World Court, or we're all gonna be devoured by crime.
Crime, and the definition of crime comes from Nuremberg, when the judges decided that they wanted to call Second World War a crime. Honor and war is not a crime. Crime is bad. When you go to war and you're a soldier, and you fight for your God and your country, that's not criminal. That's honorable. That's what you must do to be a man. If you don't fight for your God and your country, you're not worth anything. If you have no honor, then you're not worth petty's pigs.
Truth is, we've got to overturn this decision that you made in the Second World War, or the Second World War will never end. Degrees of the war was written in Switzerland, in Geneva, at conferences that were made by the men at the tables, clearly stated that anyone in uniform would be given the respect of their rank and their uniforms. Then when the United States and got all the Germans in handcuffs, they started breaking their own rules. And they've been breaking their own rules ever since. War is not a crime, but if you judge war as a crime in a court room, then turn around: If 2 + 3 = 5, and 3 + 2 = 5; if you say war is a crime, then crime becomes your war. I am, by all standards, a prisoner of war.
I've been a prisoner of war since 1944 in Juvenile Hall, for setting a school building on fire in Indianapolis, Indiana. I've been locked up 45 years trying to figure out why I got to be a criminal. It matters not whether I want to be; you've got to keep criminals going to keep the war going because that's your economy, your whole economy is based on the war. You've got to get your dollar bills off the war, you've got your silver market sterling off of the war, you've got to take your gold and your diamonds off of the war - You've got to overturn that decision, that hung 6000 men by the neck.
You killed 6000 soldiers for obeying orders. It's wrong. And the world has got to accept that's wrong. When you accept you're wrong, and you say you're sorry for all the things you've done, then that will be a note on that court, and we'll have some harmony going on this planet Earth, now.”

Interview with Bill Murphy (1994) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAjh_wOByoY

“Death is psychosomatic.”

Rolling Stone interview (June 1970)

“Money is a game. It's only real to the people who work for it. It's a monopoly game. It's a game of paper. It's all on paper.”

Interview https://youtube.com/watch?v=CNPW0WHIAvo?t=872 by Penny Daniels (1989)
