Ken McElroy - the common or garden variety 'failed' psychopath
|
Karl Rove - The smart professional psychopath who never gets caught
|
I just finished reading the book In
Broad Daylight, by Harry MacLean. It is an account of a murder in Skidmore, Missouri. To sum it up in a sentence, Ken McElroy, who could be described as a child
molester, rapist, wife-abuser, thief (he had no other source of income),
stalker - in
short, a violent psychopath - was eventually murdered by citizens of
the town he terrorized, after it became clear he would never be arrested or
charged for any of his crimes - his lawyer was too good, and he always
managed to threaten witnesses not to testify. His case offers a good frame
of reference for understanding how a psychopath gets away with his crimes,
and the effect he has on normal people.
"With Ken, everything was
always your fault. If he shot you, and you prosecuted him for it, you were
the bad guy. He would beat up Alice [his wife], beat her silly, she would complain,
and then she was the bad person because she was complaining. He shifted the
fault onto the victim, and then the victim became responsible for his pain." (MacLean,
p.59)
This is typical psychopathic behaviour - blaming
the victim for the actions of the abuser. In biblical terms, it is called scapegoating.
The victim, or scapegoat, suffers for the sins of the psychopath. When stripped
of its slick veneer of propaganda,
Israel
's repeated offenses against the Palestinians (and Lebanese, and Egyptians,
and Syrians, etc.) amount to nothing more. They mercilessly torture and slaughter
the Arab population, and subsequently blame their victims for these very crimes.
When an Israeli
sniper shoots a Palestinian girl in the head, it is her own fault. Not
only that, it is the fault of every Palestinian. Collective punishment becomes 'self-defense' in
the mind of the psychopath.
Not only is the blame for their crimes shifted to an innocent
party, the crimes themselves often defy normal common sense and reason. When
Short Linville was asked by Romaine Henry, (whom McElroy had shot) to testify
at his trial as a witness (Linville had seen McElroy driving in the direction
of the victim, while McElroy later claimed to be at home), Linville said he
didn't even know if the man had been shot. After being shown the wounds,
Short said, "OK, now I know you been shot, but why were you shot? Nobody
shoots somebody without a reason."
The man replied, "Well there wasn't any reason, he (McElroy) just
came up and shot me."
Short thought, To hell with him. Why get into all that trouble if the man
wasn't
going to tell the truth? Even when berated by his friends, Short
refused to testify. "If Romaine wouldn't tell him what had really
happened, he wouldn't testify on his behalf." (MacLean, 113, 116)
The Zionist criminals would have use believe Osama murdered
2752 innocent Americans for a reason - they were complicit in the crimes
of
America
and had to be killed as an example. They possessed 'freedoms' which
were hedonistic and contrary to Muslim values. But what was the real reason
these innocents were killed? The answer is: the same reason Ken McElroy shot
Romaine Henry in the stomach and head. While it may appear that there was no
logical reason (Romaine had done nothing to McElroy to deserve being shot,
and perhaps none of the people killed on 9/11 had done anything personally
to the real conspirators), each event served a definite purpose. For McElroy,
shooting Romaine put everyone in Skidmore in such a state of fear that they
were helpless to stand up for their rights. They knew McElroy could shoot a
man for no reason and get away with it. For the Zionist Neocons, the purpose
was the same: to scare the shit out of their own citizens and use that fear
to fulfill their genocidal agenda in the
Middle East
. In short, it was to completely terrorize a gullible population. This is the
true meaning of the "War on Terror".
Not only is there often no reasonable justification for their
crimes, psychopaths are aware that normal people cannot conceive of committing
so heinous a deed for 'no reason', and take full advantage of that
fact. When in positions of extreme power (McElroy was a 'low-life' psychopath
compared to those who run governments and intelligence agencies) pyschopaths
organise the assassination of presidents; they carry out false-flag operations;
they murder their own citizens. When confronted with this notion, ordinary
people think, "There is no way my own government would do this. It is
too brazen. Surely someone would talk, and they would be found out." But
this type of thinking does not apply to psychopaths. While you or I cannot
conceive of telling such a big lie, psychopaths have no regard for the long-term
consequences of their actions. They do not think, But what if I get caught? They simply tell
another lie, and another, and another. They do not even have to be convincing
lies, to fool the ordinary citizen, it is enough that they are big and brazen.
Consider the pitiful explanations given for the 'crash' scene in
Pennsylvania, the
'crash' scene at the Pentagon, the spontaneous 'collapse' of
the World Trade Centers, the WMD claims against Iraq and now Iran (while Israel
is the only country in the Middle East to possess an entire arsenal of nuclear
warheads (up to 1,500) - a fact they still refuse to admit publicly).
When the Israeli/Neoconservative factions of the Israeli
and American governments planned and executed the false-flag operations of
September 11, 2001, they were counting on the fact that, no matter how obvious
was the evidence pointing to their guilt, normal
people would not be able to fathom such murderous mendacity. Ordinary citizens
would come up with excuses for the criminals without any necessary guidance.
Scientists would line up to force-fit the facts to match up with the official
narrative. Even though it sure looks like a 757 did not hit the Pentagon and
it sure looks like WTC towers 1, 2, and 7 were professionally demolished, there must be another explanation, in their
minds. So they come up with a suitably plausible lie to protect themselves
from the disintegrative state of accepting an uncomfortable truth.
It is not that the idea that the true culprits were not 19
card-carrying members of Al-Qaeda, or that the towers were demolished, or that
the phone-calls were faked that is unbelievable; a criminal is a criminal,
no matter what country he is from. The reason the idea is so difficult to accept
is one of responsibility. If Osama
really did it, all the average American would have to do is support and have
faith in her government to take care of business; support the troops and pray
the devil is brought to justice. But who becomes responsible for 'taking
care'
of a government that is packed with corrupt, lying, murderous psychopaths?
Who investigates the criminals when they are the very men and women who would
be chosen to lead the investigation?
To the average American, denial of uncomfortable truths thus
takes priority over actually having to overcome apathy and laziness. This denial
is accompanied by a comfortable belief that no normal person would
have the audacity to commit such a crime in broad daylight. The fact is, they
did do it - in broad
daylight - with shocked looks on their faces, all-the-while knowing
that few would even question the fairy-tale they fobbed off on us as the 'truth'.
This is because psychopaths have a great understanding of
the way normal people think, and they know what they can get away with. The
owners of a local store in Skidmore [Bo & Lois Bowenkamp] were harassed
by McElroy after McElroy's daughter accused the store owner's employee of
calling one of McElroy's daughter a thief. McElroy's daughter had fabricated
the story, but this did not matter. After refusing McElroy's offer to
fight his wife for cash, and being stalked by him at her home, Lois "was
beginning to understand that, as far as the law was concerned, she and Bo [her
husband] would be left to deal with Ken McElroy by themselves. She was also
developing a bitter appreciation of McElroy's cunning. He
is smart, she thought. He knows just what he can get away with"
(MacLean, 146). With anyone else, the police would have given Mc Elroy a warning
to stay away from Lois and Bo. There were numerous laws that McElroy had broken,
but McElroy was left free to continue harassing, threatening, and stalking
the townspeople.
In the same way, Perle, Wolfowitz, Cheney, Zakheim, Rice and the whole sick
gang know what they can get away with. They know that with minimal effort they
can silence witnesses, have whistle-blowers murdered, buy judges and various 'experts',
investigate their own crimes (e.g. the whitewash 9/11 Commission), and get
people to believe their ridiculous stories.
"Stratton [the only cop McElroy feared] couldn't
account for his immunity from the law [McElroy won several dozen court cases
for felonies for which he was undoubtedly guilty]; he came to believe that
McElroy either got to the prosecutors, the judges, or the witnesses." (McLean,
163) After
shooting Bo Bowenkamp in the neck (a crime for which he was
eventually found guilty, although he served no time), McElroy was pulled over
by Stratton. When told about the shooting, McElroy said, "I ain't
shot nobody." Trena, his wife,
added,
"He was home with me. All night. He didn't go anywhere." (MacLean,
168)
Not only can psychopaths lie with a completely straight face,
the have a group of spellbound followers who are fully willing to lie for them.
McElroy's wives would do anything to cover up for their husband. Likewise,
the criminals responsible for 9/11 have a network of complicit liars, dupes,
and half-wits who will energetically proclaim their innocence. Academia, the
mass-media, the intelligence agencies, the military are all full of such types.
Michelle Malkin, Anne Coulter, Bill O'Reilly,
Rush Limbaugh, Hannity and Colmes,
Alan Dershowitz, various terrorism 'experts' and career military
men. The list is endless.
"[If] McElroy's actions
were methodical, his crime was crazy. Bo was not some lowlife who had provoked
McElroy by slurring a member of his family in the tavern. Bo was a nice old
man who had never met Ken McElroy until the confrontation in the grocery store
and, even then, he had had nothing to do with the little girl and the candy.
The arbitrariness of the attack was frightening. If it could happen to Bo,
it could happen to you, or your brother, or your daughter." (MacLean,
174)
It was only after one man took a stand against McElroy's
bullying, and refused to accept his terror tactics, that the town realized
something could be done. The agreed to stand together, keep a close eye on
McElroy, and notify each other on his whereabouts. They refused to be terrorized
any longer. Perhaps it was too late for this reasonable approach. The day after
this decision, three young men decided it was not enough, and shot McElroy
in the head.
There is a war on terror being fought as we speak. The normal
people of the world are fighting the terror of their respective psychopathic
leaders. Which side are you on?
