Charles Manson Breaks 20-Year Silence to Talk Global Warming

Cult leader and convicted murderer Charles Manson has broken a 20-year silence to give a jailhouse interview. But don’t expect any coherent opining. Instead, Manson gave a confusing, rambling interview to Vanity Fair Spain Magazine in which he criticized President Obama and spoke out against global warming.

Charles Manson Breaks 20 Year Silence to Talk Global WarmingThe Daily Mail has Manson’s quotes:

‘Everyone’s God and if we don’t wake up to that there’s going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we’re doing bad things to the atmosphere.

‘If we don’t change that as rapidly as I’m speaking to you now, if we don’t put the green back on the planet and put the trees back that we’ve butchered, if we don’t go to war against the problem…’ he added, trailing off.

Manson, who described himself to his interviewer as a ‘bad man who shoots people’, brainwashed members of a commune known as The Family into butchering eight people including film director Roman Polanski’s pregnant wife Sharon Tate in July and August 1969.

[...]

Interspersing English with Spanish, he added: ‘I’m very mal hombre, nasty.

‘I’m in the bullring. I run in the bullring with the heart of the world.’

‘I don’t play. I shoot people.

‘I’m too bad. I’m a mean guy. I’m an outlaw. I’m a criminal. I’m everything bad.’

The 76-year-old Manson hasn’t given in interview since 1987. The year will mark the 40th anniversary of his conviction.

Besides speaking out against global warming, Manson also took time to criticize President Obama. According to him, Obama is a “slave” to Wall Street.

“I think Obama is an idiot for doing what he’s doing,” he said. “They’re playing with him.”

    I thought they meant Charlie sheen, not Charlie Manson.

    i do think that if the good people in the state of calf. had not had the overwhelming compasstion for the murder’s of unborn chirldren, their mothers , and their neighbors , this man ( and i use the term looely) this man would not be an issue. therefore ,,in my oppinion we should NEVER give this murder any platform of any kind .

    Why do people insist on letting worthless, inhuman parasites speak out about anything? This.. thing.. is a murderous boil of the butt of humanity. Why would anyone want to lend credance to anything he has to say? Why won’t people just let him rot in silence?
    Study him, fine. Learn what you can about psychotic sociopathy and intense megalomania. But really, who in the world cares about this criminal murderer’s political / social / spiritual stances that led him to brainwash the mentally and morally bereft into killing people for his sick lusts?
    This is what the media thinks of as journalism? The half coherent ramblings of a madman…

      Charlie just wanted to get rid of blackie (as he called them, not me) by framing them for the LoBianco/Tate murders. He was a racist then and is now, so he doesn’t like Obama. Unfortunately he is not on death row since California repealed the death penalty after his sentence. They subsequently re-instated it but Manson’s sentence had already been commuted. As far as his statement on global warming. Well, the man is nuts, we all know that.

      It’s funny, this website, which so many of you take seriously, an has article about Charles Manson’s opinion about global warming, which I didn’t take the time to read. Why isn’t this being carried by the mainstream media you ask? The reason is obvious: nobody cares about anything Manson says.

      That is, except you people who read this website and post here. This is important news to you. This is an opportunity for you, in your own mind, to connect Charles Manson to the President of the United States. That makes you feel good right?

      Why is it that you so easily make that connection, Obama = Manson? That obsession to connect our President to anything bad, like Hitler. Is it any wonder people question why it is you hate the President so much, when the Manson, Hitler, Stalin comparisons are so obiously false?
