A brief excerpt from the book Sharon Tate Campaign Plan MMXX
© 2018 Michael A. Walker
"The plan envisions an end state where there is severance of the linkage between Manson and Sharon Tate in the American psyche. At a minimum, the American public should know Sharon Tate more for whom she is and not what was done to her, and that is where promotion of the common good comes into play. The resources to accomplish this task exist. This girl, Sharon Tate, was born one day; she grew up and lived for a while. She loved boys, got married and was expecting, but one day her life was taken by someone. Stunned by the savagery, people lost association with her life and the joy that she brought to others. This also happens to other people in the world but not nearly in the same manner. In Sharon’s case there are a lot of presentable pictures, many of which she probably would not mind people seeing. Can you help? That is all I wanted to say." Sharon Tate

Learning About Sharon Tate as a Person
An excerpt from from the Introduction to the  book Sharon Tate Campaign Plan MMXX
© 2018 Michael A. Walker
"The question is how we can know Sharon is an introspective person with a higher degree of certainty. There is a clue given to us in a rare 1966 interview of Sharon taken from the interior of the Château de Hautefort where she remarked 'The full-time job is to learn your craft and also to try to keep yourself what you really are.' We now know from this that Sharon was an actress that drew lines and did not permit the profession to dictate what her core personal values were going to be. Nothing is clearer than Sharon’s determination to live life with the weightier matters of honoring her parents, marriage, and the bearing of children taking precedence. Sharon knew what mattered most in her life despite pressure from many directions to violate her conscience on matters of ultimate importance."

An excerpt from the Rationale section of the  book Sharon Tate Campaign Plan MMXX
© 2018 Michael A. Walker
"In light of what transpired, has Sharon Tate’s dignity remained intact? If her dignity is in question, is it salvageable? As far as her murder is concerned, Sharon lost her dignity because of it, her killers evaded paying the ultimate price, and we are left with a paradox. From every other indication as discussed throughout the following pages, the answer to questions regarding the feasibility of repairing Sharon’s dignity is “yes” on all counts. However, there are identifiable problems to overcome. Technically, this is a qualified yes at this point in time."

Never Rely Upon the Word of a Convicted Murderer

An excerpt from the Preface to the book  Sharon Tate Campaign Plan MMXX © 2018 Michael A. Walker
"This case easily puts Mr. John Q. Public into a position of thinking he can only rely upon the word of a convicted murderer to know what happened and who did what. There is a solution in situations where the basis has to be something other than the only living eyewitnesses and this is the situation in this case. After much thought, the only sound basis would be the physical evidence. This seems to be difficult to comprehend or accept by most people because they are romantically inclined. That is to say, they have come to over-rely on human relations to the exclusion of all else. Also, we cannot expect the murderers to recall the eye color of the people that they murdered one by one even though they looked into the eyes of these people. The most we could hope for would be that the murderers noticed perhaps light or dark colored eyes in this example of perception processing variance. What is left from the entire process can still never become a basis. There are several examples of this over-reliance on romantic inclinations worth noting in this case. In one instance, the police insisted that it had to be someone that knew the victims at the crime scene. In another later instance, the criminals were not so bad anymore and should be released because they mellowed out. In both of these examples, romanticism got to the point that it clouded judgment. Romantic inclination is where nearly everyone goes awry. People get sucked into this case on account of its frequent romanticizing. To be clear, the overriding problem with that prevailing attitude is that the only possible eyewitnesses for reconstructing how the murders in this case occurred were the convicts themselves because everyone else other than the murderers died at the scene of the crime. There remains only one way of acquiring a valid basis."

Who was Sharon Tate as a Person?

An excerpt from the Introduction to the book  Sharon Tate Campaign Plan MMXX © 2018 Michael A. Walker
"One of the first attempts at a more comprehensive Sharon Tate biography for the general public occurred in May of 2000. In Greg King’s book – which is at times venerable and at times apologetically exploitative – he mentions[1] that Sharon Tate usually carried with her a copy of Will Durant’s book The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the Greater Philosophers[2]when going on long voyages abroad. Durant’s brief introduction includes the following related philosophical concept that Secretary Donald Rumsfeld would later amplify regarding how the formal planning process begins to tackle wicked problems: 'Philosophy is a hypothetical interpretation of the unknown or of the inexactly known in the front trench in the siege of truth.' What we can say from this biographical detail about Sharon is that she was a self-disciplined reader well able to navigate abstract, conceptual subjects with her introspective intellect. Images of Sharon seem to almost exude this introspective personality of hers. The ability to differentiate between the known and unknown with increased fidelity leads to the development of assumptions that allow the planning process to go forward."

Excerpt from the Foreword
© 2018 Michael A. Walker
"Each page of Bugliosi’s book1 was worse than the page before. I was able to fill in some blanks to the whole story depicted in the television movie, and was at least getting a view of the bigger picture. Along with these impressions, I noticed there was still scant information about Sharon Tate as a person after completing my comparative analysis between Bugliosi's book, the television movie, and a book written by one of the murderers. Sure, there was some basic data presented in Bugliosi's book such as retracing some of Sharon’s steps prior to the murder and some rather vague, overgeneralized information as to her personality. As time went by there was news about releasing Sharon’s murderers from prison which was not an entirely unexpected development. However, it caused alarm about the rate of decline going on within our justice system. I sensed that something had to be done about it by the old guard that would come out of retirement, step in, crack some knuckles, and restore public confidence in the institution. For convicts, there were only four possibilities: 1) Wrongly convicted, 2) Activists making conscientious sacrifices, 3) Mental cases, or 4) Just plain evil persons."
