No More Helter Skelter?

Charles Manson has appeared to let his "Helter Skelter" scenario die down. His new found love is  "ATWA" (air, trees, water, animals), which is of same importance to his "wife" Afton Burton (environmentalist). For those not sure of what the Helter Skelter scenario is, it is Manson's theory that blacks and whites would fight an apocalyptic war over racial tension. "The core of this philosophy was a kind of Armageddon. Charlie preached that the black man was going to rise up and start killing the whites and turn the cities in to an inferno of racial revenge. The black man would win this war, but wouldn't be able to hang onto the power he seized because of innate inferiority."  Manson's plan was to recruit young white Americans to join him. He and the "Manson Family", his cult, would produce songs that would be a subtle hint to join them.
Charles Manson came up with the theory of "Helter Skelter" by hearing the Beatles song, which was named exactly that. While Charlie was in jail for trying to cash a fake US Treasury check, an inmate taught him how to play guitar, and from there on he became obsessed with the Beatles. After hearing the song, he also looked into The Book of Revelations, which helped him concoct the theory of Helter Skleter.
But, now that Charles Manson is a "changed man", does that mean he's switched to the good side, as Afton Burton thinks? I guess we will never know, but his love for her could be as true as saying that he was never a manipulator.
