Be serious lit, is this book written based on research or is it just schizo shit?
>>255050321. YOU read it2. FIND out3. ????4. TELL US THE ANSWER TO YOUR RESEARCH QUESTION!!!!
fucking obviously nobody's programmed to kill, though that didn't stop various governments from trying. the real conspiracy is that many weren't alone/were part of a ring
>>25505032read slower. it's very clear it's based on nothing but reading other books and connecting events thematically rather than basing anything on evidence. >>25505187>many weren't alone/were part of a ringvery poorly sourced circumstantial evidence of this.
Dude it's like all true bro but hue government destroyed all the evidence bro
>>25505613"One of the first things Gacy told investigators after his arrest was that he had not acted alone in several of the murders: he asked whether "my associates" had been arrested. When questioned whether these associates had participated directly or indirectly in the killings, Gacy replied, "Directly". He later claimed Cram and Rossi were involved in several of the murders.[48] Some defense attorneys and investigators researching the possibility Gacy had not acted alone in several of the murders have said there is "overwhelming evidence Gacy worked with an accomplice".[321]In the 1980s, Gacy informed FBI profiler Robert Ressler that "two or three" PDM employees had assisted in several murders. Ressler believed there were unexplained avenues to the case and that Gacy had killed more than 33 victims in multiple states. Gacy neither confirmed nor denied Ressler's suspicions.[ab][ac] Jeffrey Rignall, who had been assaulted and tortured by Gacy in March 1978, was adamant that at one point during his ordeal, a young man with brown hair had watched and participated in his abuse.[71][323][ad]Three days before his arrest, two officers followed Gacy to a bar where he met two employees—Michael Rossi and Ed Hefner. An anxious Gacy was observed walking with the two out of earshot of the officers to talk before returning closer. Gacy said to both young men: "You'd better not let me down, you fuckers. You owe it to me." The officers then overheard sections of a hushed conversation between Gacy and the two during which Rossi asked Gacy, "And what? Buried like the other five?"[324]In interviews from death row, Gacy said that at the time of his arrest, three PDM employees were also considered suspects in the murders—all of whom he said were in possession of keys to his house.[104] In addition to Cram and Rossi, Gacy named his former employee Phillip Paske, who was an acquaintance of Cram and a close associate of John David Norman. In the late 1970s, Norman operated a nationwide sex trafficking ring based in Chicago known as the Delta Project with the help of Paske.[325] At least two victims believed to have been murdered by Gacy (Kenneth Parker and Michael Marino) had last been seen alive close to where Norman lived.[326] This led to speculation that Gacy had been connected to this trafficking ring.[327]Gacy claimed that he was not in Chicago when sixteen of the identified victims disappeared. In 2012, two Chicago lawyers said travel records show that he had been in another state at the time of three of the murders, implying he had one or more accomplices.[328][329]"
There are plenty of court documents and interviews cited and he weaves all of that together into a really compelling argument for a global network of murderers for hire.
>>25505032Most of his arguments basically amount to>are we REALLY supposed to believe [something totally believable]???>the more LIKELY story is [schizo nonsense involving CIA traumatizing children via torture to turn them into switch-activated assassins]!!!I regret purchasing the book
>>25505032It’s a combination of both. McGowans books are all like this. That’s the easiest way to explain it.
>>25505854I hated how he kept throwing the phrase "caught a bullet to the head" in his book about Laurel Canyon. Like every time someone died for a solid third of the book he says it every time. Pissed me off. I believe it all however.
>>25505032It’s generally considered not well researched and the book “Eye of the Chickenhawk” is a lot better researched. They both cover a lot of the same ground.
Conspiracy books like this one give me a bad feeling. Some things should be stayed away from
