The media wants people to believe that Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme has turned her back on Charles Manson. this is not true. Here is something she recently said about Charlie. Read the entire letter here.
One special 1967 day on Venice Beach, not far from the Redondo Beach of my old life, I met Manson and suddenly it no longer mattered I was hungry, hungover, and depressed. I was with the greatest genius on earth. But never did he ask me or anyone else to call him God. He was a humble little man and a giant who showed me how to connect with animals and birds and trees and took me into his arms and bed and his life. He loved me as he loved all the many women in our family.
The earth was Charlie’s first woman and many people wanted to follow him and that terrified the judge and jury who framed Charlie for the seven deaths of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and her friends and another couple. Charlie wasn’t there. Several of my family members were responsible and ready to die to save the land and air and water. But Charlie should not have been convicted. He committed no crime.
After the judicial lynching, I was in charge of the family, and on me weighed the responsibility to protect our environment. In Sacramento, on September fifth, 1975 I tried to wake everyone up by pointing a pistol at President Gerald Ford. I had not wanted to kill him or he would’ve been dead.
I didn’t mind being in prison. Living without Charlie was prison anyway. I was considered a pleasant and cooperative prisoner. I hadn’t applied for parole when first eligible in 1985 and didn’t apply for decades. I think I only applied because they were going to kick me out and make me look like a loony, and I could not allow that since all members of our family are bright and articulate and unapologetic champions of clean air and water and trees that live thousands of years.

Penny Daniels: Do you ever expect to get out of here?
Manson: Do I ever expect to get in there? That’s up to you whether I get in there or not. As far as getting out; I’m out, you’re in. You’re backwards. You’re upside down.
“If I’m in the position to help someone I’ll do the best I can. If I’m not in a position to do all of that, I have to take the position I’m in. I’m in a down position, so I’ll take the down position. I have all of my people, and all of my friends, and everybody I’ve ever met in good esteem. I judge no one; it’s everyone’s judging me. You’re looking at everyone judging me as being bad; I know what I am.”
— Charles Manson, 1991
