Book Cover & Preview Text
PREVIEW. Excerpts from the chapter “Manson confesses” (NOTE: In this chapter the dramatic Manson letters and postcards are excerpted and presented in a transcript form. In this chapter he compares himself to Hitler, Genghis Khan and the mighty monarchs of the United Kingdom. He writes: “Im the law, police, judge, church, government.” For the first time, in his own words, he confesses to his crimes. The Sharon Tate murders “are a warning to the nation.” “Yes Im a animal killer or whatever it takes for my own world & the people with me—” “Ive come to live to kill…Ive got the power to do it the madness to carry it out & the dispensation from god.” “My knife is so sharp.” On many occasions Manson giveth his permission to use his letters; on many occasions he taketh away his permission. We also are witness to his many moods; his ups and downs in prison. And we are able to view Charles Manson’s wit, occasional clarity of thought, wisdom, his insights and humor.) August 20, 1975. First letter. Four legal-sized pages. From San Quentin. In this letter he showed me his favorite word (play). This enabled me to break the Manson code as I was able to resonate with his Unconscious mind. August 21 1975. Second letter. One page legal-sized pages. From San Quentin. "Dear Richard, Ive been thinking about that smart letter I wrote to you yesterday. I was mad at the world. If I had a kecit (cassette) recorder and you had one –you could ask questions & I could answer. & you may be able to put a book together. “Ive been in darkness so long that Im kinda blind…we can work out a great book." PERMISSION. He giveth. Post card from San Quentin 1975 (postmark blurred) "You’re a nut—what you like or dont like about CM can stand in line with the rest who only judge there own reflections. Im not trying to beat you at any thing…Im a person of peace & a servant not a warrior." Git me a kecit” (NOTE: cassette recorder). PERMISSION. He giveth. July 1 1976. from Vacaville. 6 page letter on 8 ½ paper. CONFESSION: “Maybe if I got out I could mass murder & put new laws. Ive come to live to kill…Ive got the power to do it the madness to carry it out & the dispensation from god.” July 7 1976 from Vacaville. 4 pages on 6”x9 ½ paper. After lamenting about being confined to prison for 30 years, he again writes about dispensation. “I am the authority & hold dispensation.” (NOTE: He rules his subjects as a mighty monarch world. A dictionary definition of dispensation: “An exemption or release from an obligation or rule, granted by or as if by an authority. To pardon, to forgive.”) July 29 1976. 4 page ltr from Vacaville on 8 ½ inch paper. CONFESSES AGAIN IN FIRST PERSON. “Yes Im a animal killer or whatever it takes for my own world & the people with me—my knife is so sharp…” In this part of the letter he focuses on my comment about a violent society: “Do you mean my society or yours—my society is peaceful.” 1976. postmark date not visible. KEEP PRIVATE; DON’T PUBLISH: He taketh away.You should of realized a lot of what I wrote you was not for a book—I didn’t feel no book without a tape (recorder)—youll see what I mean when we talk—Im not in (to) paper words.” The Secret Service paid him another visit. The guards wanted to cuff him so he refused to see the SS men. He asked me to accept Lyn Fromme, Sandy Good, Bruce Davis & the others in the family. He referred to the letter from Ed George (prison administrator) that said I might be a Manson follower and might be terminated corresponding with CM if they found proof. The letters CM sent to me to forward to Lyn & Sandy were not forwarded. I told him I could not do that. KEEP PRIVATE: On the last page (page 3) he wrote, “You should of realized a lot of what I wrote you was not for a book.” He wants to have his words tape recorded. (NOTE: He did co-author a book MANSON IN HIS OWN WORDS by CM & Nuel Emmons (his prison buddy who was released on parole). Manson never confessed in the book. July 27 1976 from Vacaville. 4 pp on legal-sized paper. DON’T PUBLISH THIS: “I see into much that few could ever realize.” DON’T PRINT WHAT IS CONFIDENTIAL. He asks me again not to print everything he tells me. He taketh away. Once again I remind him of our agreement. I am the writer. If I am censored I will not continue our journey. August 2 1976. from Vacaville. 1 pp on legal-sized paper. HE WANTS TO GET OUT OF PRISON TO KILL. Manson again voices concern over the ecological disaster, including whales beaching themselves “because the water is so bad.” I cant get out to start the killing –they got to be killed they got to stop doing what there doing August 21 1976 from Vacaville. 1 page on legal-sized paper. KILLING PEOPLE. This is the second letter postmarked August 2 1976.

About the Author
1. WHY I AM QUALIFIED TO WRITE THIS BOOK: In his 92 letters, 12 postcards and two visits to Charles Manson in the prison ‘nuthouse’ (his word), the mass murderer revealed why he killed Sharon Tate (“a warning to the nation”). He wrote, “I received a dispensation from God.” He also wrote, “I am the law jury judge church government.” He confessed, “My knife is sharp. I can kill anyone I want.” Manson sent me 35 pounds of his personal mail to me, including letters from members of his family. He also sent family members to visit me for friendly and not-so-friendly purposes. I know how he seduced people through his magical mind. I discovered his 10 methods to attract people into his sphere of influence. The San Francisco Chronicle wrote, “Rubacher is on to something.” Very true. 2. SOMETHING MORE PERSONAL. Like Forrest Gump, I was given the gift to open the soul of people. Because of this gift I was able to put the searchlight on his soul. Manson sensed my innocence. In the book I explain what happens to me when a crisis arises—Manson sent people, including his former body guard at Folsom Prison, to do me harm. In moments of psychological combat my left brain shuts down and my right brain accelerates into action. Very mysterious. Very true. 3. WHERE I LIVE AND INFO ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE. Since 2001 I have lived in the Land of Children, also known as The Land of Smiles—THAILAND. I wrote a book about my experience in the magical kingdom—“Thai Touch,” where the good and bad are told with a comic touch. I met the Forrest Gump of Thailand and wrote a story about him in "Thai Touch." I found four Thai women who are the counterpart of the TV series “Sex and the City.” I interviewed the foursome. The story is called “Sex and the City, THAI STYLE.” Through my special gift, for which I am constantly grateful, I discovered the secret of Thai peoples’ soul—kon thai kii len (Thai people are playful). For me, there is no “bad hair day” in this magical place. Very true.
