Echoes Of Laurel Canyon - Part Twelve
A Name You Don't Know - Reeve Whitson, CIA's Shadow Of Laurel Canyon
If you have followed this “Echoes Of Laurel Canyon” series, you know we have contended that all the Charles Manson meet points in the Helter Skelter saga were under CIA/FBI rogue surveillance by IB Hale and his son Robert Allen Hale to compromise Hollywood with “sex, drugs, and Rock and Roll.” This CIA strategy shift I call “from guns to guitars” or “from RPG to LSD.”
Instead of training snipers to blow the heads of political opponents like John F. Kennedy in the street in broad daylight in Dallas, the new strategy would be a less obvious strategy of compromise with sex, drugs, and rock and roll in the mecca of propaganda, Los Angeles.
The CIA shift from guns to guitars would be nicely captured in one family. The General Dynamics business executive and former FBI sniper IB Hale, with his son, Robert Allen Hale, would give way to a new generation of hippie infiltration. The Robert Allen Hale assassin of Dallas in 1962 and 1963 was reborn as the Lauren Canyon songster Sundance in Laurel Canyon in the late 1960s.
