	Beatles, sent to start Armagedon (sp?) by causing the
	``blacks'' to rise up (Blackbird...)

	To start the final wars.  He hoped that the deaths would be
	blamed on the blacks, causing them to ``arise''.  He also felt
	that him and his followers were the children of Israel.

Thanks to all you folks who replied to the Manson Trivia. Here's
the answers:

>

>    Tate-Labianca murders in the late 60's (early 70's??)

	"Helter Skelter" from the 'White Album'

	The Beatles. Manson believed that they were sent from
	hell by the Devil.

	He believed that the blacks would be blamed for the executions.
	The blacks would then revolt against their white oppressors, taking
	control of the world. Manson believed that he could come to power
	in a Black world and dominate. (Odd, since Manson is white.)
