Book Reviews of Programmed to Kill: The Politics of Serial Murder
Book Review: Are You Programmed to Disbelieve?
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is for people who are already familiar with the fact that the media habitually ignore serious issues. If this is new to you, it might be better to first read for example Mc Gowan's own "Derailing Democracy - The America the Media Don't Want You to See", or "Into the Buzzsaw" by Kristina Borjesson.
Programmed to Kill is the result of what strikes me as careful research into America's prosecution policies regarding "serial killers". The non-prosecution of child kidnapping and forced male and female child prostitution crimes is evident from, for example, the Johnny Gosch and Paul Bonacci cases. You can read one court case transcript here: www.ritualabuse.net/franklin.htm
After reading that, you will probably be less surprised that some "serial killers" are released from prison while announcing that they will kill again, or told to go on their way after only paying $60 in court costs. Former Son-of-Sam "serial killer" Dave Berkowitz looks pretty happy these days at www.forgivenforlife.com.
Contrary to popular belief, "serial killers" do not appear to work alone, they are sometimes shielded from prosecution by patsies and the networks of (satanic) ritual abuse and child prostitution in their context are real. What David McGowan writes about is very hard stuff, but he presents it well. In the few places where he speculates, it is clear that he does so and I find his speculations very sensible. The book is very readable throughout. There is, dare I say it, even a spark of humor here and there.
This well-crafted book is indispensable for those who enjoy finding out what the worst is that is being covered up. At least, I can't imagine what could be worse than this. Even if the American government openly admitted that they were behind 9/11, I would find this worse.
