At this point you ask: What's your point, John Rachel? Is this supposed to be funny? Actually it's pretty twisted!

Well, it is twisted. But it's twisted on a lot of levels. Not only is the killer clearly twisted, but apparently our cerebral cortex is too, if we actually believe that any of the measures outlined -- regardless of how commonly heralded they might be -- could possibly work. Apparently, all too often our minds are gripped by a covert confusion where form and substance are conflated into a toxic brew of false hope and ridiculous expectations.

'We have to do something!' subliminally becomes a license to do a lot of stuff which has no hope of succeeding but temporarily satisfies the anxious goading of desperation and guilt.

My point is that all of the chosen methods to stop the killer were obviously a total waste of energy and time. What incentive is there in any of the tactics for the killer to end his orgy of violence? He loves killing and mutilating people! He doesn't care what others think or how much suffering it causes. This is how he gets his jollies. Dead bodies are his reward!

There's only one option: He must be eliminated. He must be taken out of circulation!

And this is precisely the way we deal with our current coven of elected officials.

I'm not suggesting assassination. All I'm saying that if we want things to get better, these pay-for-play politicians -- serial liars -- who are puppets to Wall Street, investment banks, transnational corporations; who've let our country be stolen by a wealthy ruling elite; who have demonstrated time and time again they will never truly represent the interests and needs of their constituents . . . MUST BE REMOVED FROM POWER.

. . . THEY MUST BE GIVEN THEIR PINK SLIPS AND SENT PACKING . . .

. . . AND NEVER ALLOWED TO ROAM THE HALLS OF CONGRESS AGAIN!

We've had enough abuse. We've been victimized too long. No more lies.

Regime change in Congress in November 2018!
