LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A federal judge has ordered taped
conversations from 1969 between Manson Family killer Charles
"Tex" Watson and his now-dead lawyer turned over to Los
Angeles police, who are investigating the cult's possible
involvement in unsolved murders.
The written order by U.S. District Judge Richard Schell in
Texas, made public on Tuesday, upholds a ruling last year by
a federal bankruptcy judge. Watson had appealed the bank-
ruptcy judge's order from the California prison where he is
serving a life term, claiming that the tapes were protected
under attorney-client privilege.
Some eight hours of discussions between Watson and his
defense attorney Bill Boyd were recorded in 1969 after
Watson was arrested in the Manson family murder of actress
Sharon Tate and others in Los Angeles. The tapes surfaced
years later, during federal bankruptcy proceedings in in-
volving Boyd's now-defunct law firm in Texas.
"We're very pleased the judge ruled in our favor. We're looking forward to get-
ting those tapes and thoroughly analyzing the contents," Los Angeles Police
spokesman Andrew Smith said.
"This Manson Family crime spree is one of most notorious and heinous in South-
ern California history and we, the LAPD, believe we owe it to the victims and
their families to ensure that every facet of this case is thoroughly and com-
pletely investigated, and we plan to do exactly that," Smith said.
If Watson does not appeal the ruling within 30 days, Los Angeles police de-
tectives will travel to Texas to pick up the recordings which had been held
pending the outcome of the bankruptcy case, Smith said.
"We've got many unsolved homicide cases from that era here in Southern Cali-
fornia and we're hoping maybe something on these tapes may tie the Manson Family
or any of these individuals to one of those homicides," he said.
A Fort Worth, Texas-based attorney representing Watson in the case could not
be reached for comment on Tuesday.

Long Overdue Observation
by earthfire ini just thought this was funny when it popped into my head this morning.
funny because i should have thought of it long ago and i'm sure that i'm not the first to think this.
the big point comes after my little spiel.. so, god tells noah to build an ark because he has a lot of killing of the wicked to do and only noah and his family seem to be good enough.

Basically, it's a hope for goodness to survive in a world with
wickedness and crime. I'd avoid showing no better interpre-
tation ability than a fundamentalist conservative (like Paul
Broun), the sort of thing that led Higgs to once refer to
Hitchens as a fundamentalist atheist. It's kind of hard to
sympathize with an atheist worried about people killed in a
literal great flood, for example--it's more puzzling.

NLP, Subliminal Messages and the WT Writing Department
by 00DAD ina few years ago i became interested in the subject of neuro-linguistic programming (nlp).
while the core concepts of nlp have been largely discredited as new-age pseudo-science, there is no doubt that there is at least some validity to the idea.
words and images remain the key way we communicate.

Lincoln split logs and had a secretary named Kennedy.
Kennedy split a Lincoln to get a log for his secretary.
Abe Kennedy dropped a log when his secretary split.
Coincidence? I don't think so. -

Ricky Gervais on atheism & some ideas we can relate to
by alecholmesthedetective ini found this article really interesting because of the similar thoughts ricky expresses i could relate to and think are good food for thought irrespect of what you believe at the present time.
http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/12/19/a-holiday-message-from-ricky-gervais-why-im-an-atheist/.
for example.... people who believe in god dont need proof of his existence, and they certainly dont want evidence to the contrary.

Ricki's case isn't as balanced as it could be on the points brought up.If the point is not wanting harm or misinformation, the basic concepts of God
and atheism don't come with character determinants and there's proof of neither.
Don't be 'centric or intolerant about either since being so has caused some of
the biggest abominations in history. Making either law of the land is institu-
tionalized 'centric intolerance.If you add stipulations beyond that, add liberal not conservative ("proof" of
God, rights for women and LGBT people, evolution, cosmology, etc.)."The existence of God is not subjective. He either exists or he doesn’t. It’s
not a matter of opinion."Forced point. If the suggestions I gave are agreed to. the analogy with the
freedom of subjective reactions to music beyond the math of the music is a good
one, notably with regard to not wanting harm over differing subjective reactions
or misinformation about the known things. Otherwise, the quoted statement veers
toward requiring mathematical proof for subjective reaction to music/mistaken
claims of proof God is or isn't, which are misinformation.Part of understanding a choice to hope or not in a possibility is that harm
isn't justified for a possibility, not a proven, because arbitrary harm is
sadism and murder. It's an ironic point to try to force past in a plea for not
wanting harm."You can have your own opinions. But you can’t have your own facts."
True.
