The attempt to make God just in the eyes of sinful men will always

- Pastor William L. Brown.
1 “But mark this: There
will be terrible times in the last days.
2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God—
5 having a form of
godliness but denying its
power. Have nothing to do with them.
6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all
kinds of evil desires,
7 always learning but never able to acknowledge
the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses,
so also these men oppose the
truth--men of
depraved minds, who, as far as
the faith is concerned, are rejected.
9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those
men, their folly
will be clear to everyone.”

Therefore, I say:
Know your
enemy and know yourself;
in a hundred
battles, you will never be defeated.
When you
are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself,
your chances of
winning or losing are equal.
If ignorant both of your
enemy and of yourself,
you are sure to be defeated in every battle.
-- Sun Tzu, The Art of War, c. 500bc
There are two ends not to
be served by a wanderer. What are these two? The pursuit of desires and of the pleasure which springs from desire,
which is base, common, leading to rebirth, ignoble, and unprofitable; and the pursuit of pain and
hardship, which is grievous, ignoble, and unprofitable.

Prologue
http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/weird/lecter/1.html
Dr. Hannibal “the Cannibal” Lecter
first appeared as a minor
but
important character
in Harris’s novel Red Dragon. In the next book, The Silence of
the Lambs, Lecter came into his own, and the movie version highlighted the
killer’s complex relationship with FBI agent-in-training Clarice Starling. In these two novels, Lecter,
in his indirect,
Cheshire-Cat
way, advises
the FBI as they hunt for headline-making serial killers who are on the loose and very active.
...
The portrait Harris paints of Dr. Lecter is vivid and terrifying. His eyes are maroon in color, and his voice
has a
hint of a metallic rasp. His teeth are small and white. A mature man well into middle age, Lecter
is small and compact, and moves with
unusual grace and silence. He has six fingers on one hand, the middle
finger “perfectly replicated... the rarest form of polydactyly.” His sense of smell is highly
developed as
exhibited by his ability to detect Clarice Starling’s brand of perfume—L’Air
du Temps—on their first meeting in The Silence of
the Lambs, even though
she hadn’t worn any that day.

The
description of the temple itself underlines Kali's
awful, uncivilized
nature. The temple is constructed of bones, flesh,
blood, heads, and body parts of enemies killed in battle. The
severed heads are used as bricks,
the blood used to make mortar, elephant tusks serve as roof trusses, and on top
of the enclosure walls (a common feature of South Indian temples) "the
severed heads of peacocks, the
heads of men offered as sacrifice,
the heads of young babies also severed in sacrifice and blood-oozing flesh as standards were placed as beautifying
elements."14 The
temple is "cleansed" daily with blood instead of
water, and flesh is offered to the goddess instead
of flowers. The fires consuming the
corpses of sacrificial victims also serve as lamps.

Dahmer killed boys or men who looked
like boys; Lecter prefers mature men. In all likelihood, Lecter
would have preferred to have Dahmer on the menu than share notes with him.
Another possible source for Lecter
is the
Russian serial killer and cannibal Nikolai Dzhurmongaliev who made it his mission to
rid the world of prostitutes and managed to eliminate 47 women before he was
caught. Though the gender of his preferred
victims does
not match Lecter’s, Dzhurmongaliev
did share Lecter’s appreciation for a
well-prepared meal. The Russian made a habit of preparing
ethnic dishes out of his
victims and serving them
to his friends. Dzhurmongaliev shared other
characteristics
with Dr. Lecter.
As Carrie Comeaux, Elizabeth Eads, Sheila
Dickerson, and Van Tran write on their website “Real vs. Fiction: The Minds of
Serial Killers,” Dzhurmongaliev “was always seen as an unusually
calm man with an air of stillness about him, but when provoked, would strike
out with alarming force and injure those trying to restrain him.”

Bhairavi’s fierce, terrible, or
destructive nature is emphasized in some of her descriptions; for example, she
is said to wear a garland of freshly severed heads that gush blood over her breasts and to be seated on a
corpse (see the dhyana mantra of Rudra-bhairavi, preceding note 2 above). This aspect of Bhairavi is also mentioned fairly often in her
thousand-name hymn from the Visvasara-tantra, where is called Extremely

with the sun and fire,

doesn’t get very good material to start with. Go

Serial killers cherish a
personal fantasy of one sort or another, and killing lets them
live out that fantasy. Ed Gein, for
example, killed women and wore their skin because he wanted to be a woman. Lecter picks his
victims to fulfill his own unique fantasy. Interestingly, however, all of Lecter’s victims are men.
Despite his fascination with Clarice Starling, his fantasy
apparently doesn’t include women.
A murderer’s modus operandi (MO) is the
actions he must take to complete the kill.
The murderer’s signature is what he
does beyond that, ritualistic behavior that satisfies some aspect of his fantasy. Cannibalism is Lecter’s
signature, but Lecter is not satisfied to simply eat his victims. He must feast on them. The elaborate preparation for a five-star
meal of human flesh
is as
much a part of his fantasy as eating the flesh. The
preparation
of the still living brain of Paul Krendler,
Starling’s nemesis,
is a
recipe worthy

In the context of temple worship, the individual Mahavidyas are perceived as very similar to other
Hindu deities.
They are thought of as great beings who have an objective existence outside the devotee and who live in
heavenly places
or special,
sacred dwellings
constructed
for them on earth.
In this context, the ritual actions of the devotee are directed
outward toward the powerful
being, who is
affirmed to exist outside, above, or beyond the worshiper.

Personation, the positioning or systematic
mutilation of the victim’s body, is another trait commonly
exhibited by organized serial murderers.
The killer may leave some object on or near the body or he may take
something from the body. Whatever the act of personation is, it’s intimately linked to the killer’s
fantasy.
Rinaldo Pazzi’s
grand guignol exit in Hannibal can certainly be taken as an
act of personation, but a more typical example is
Klaus the Swedish sailor in The Silence of the Lambs whose partial
remains Clarice Starling finds in the backseat of a 1938
Packard limousine locked in a warehouse. At first she
discovers a mannequin
in a tuxedo sitting in the backseat. On
the seat next to the figure is an open album full of old-fashioned
valentines. The head of the mannequin is covered with a
“black hood...as though it covered a parrot’s cage.” When Starling removes the hood, she finds a human head partially submerged in liquid, “the eyes long burned
milky by the alcohol that preserved it.”

Professional profilers analyze the victimology of their UNSUB to find out what the
victims have in common. Lecter’s victims were all men. In most cases he spent time with them, completing his
elaborate premeditated plan. (He did kill a police
officer during
his escape in The Silence of the Lambs, but it’s safe to say that this killing
was not planned to satisfy his fantasy. It was a brutal act of survival.) Some victims he knew well, like Raspail and Pazzi; others, like the census
taker whose liver he consumed with “some fava beans and a big Amarone,” he killed impulsively, simply because what the man did for a living offended him. In fact, that seems to be a common

venial. Krendler and Dr.
Chilton, who ran the hospital for the criminally insane where Lecter was incarcerated, were both
vindictive petty bureaucrats. Raspail
was a
bad musician as
well as an annoying personality. Miggs had no manners.
Unlike other serial killers, Lecter took no souvenirs or trophies to help him
relive the act and obsess over his fantasy. He has only
his memories. But what is this fantasy that he holds so dear and must feed like a beast locked within
his soul? Why
do petty, uncouth, common males drive him to kill? And why does he eat them—and not just eat them, dine on them, turning the
objects of his distaste into gourmet meals? What exactly is

flowers, incense, and fruit. Kali,

Mischa’s horrible slaughter and consumption by the
deserters
formed the fantasy that shaped Hannibal Lecter, a revenge
fantasy. In his dream, the deserters are crude and uncouth. They’re not
soldiers but deserters, cowards, ignoble by definition. They take over
Lecter’s parents’ property and relegate the young
residents to the barn. Their breath stinks. They butcher a deer as Neanderthals would. They screech like greedy vultures when they see the spilled blood seeping into the snow.

She
is the terrible one who has a dreadful face. She should be meditated upon as having disheveled
hair and a garland of freshly cut human heads. She has four arms. In her upper
left hand she holds a sword that has just been bloodied by the severed head
that she holds in her lower left hand. Her upper right hand makes the gesture
of assurance and her lower right hand, the sign of granting favors. She has a
bluish complexion and is lustrous like a dark cloud. She is completely naked, and her body gleams with blood
that is smeared all over
it from the garland of bleeding severed heads
around her neck. Her ear ornaments are the corpses of children. Her fangs are dreadful, and her face is fierce. Her breasts are large and round, and she wears a girdle
made of severed human hands. Blood
trickles from the corners of her mouth
and makes her face gleam. She makes a terrible sound and
lives in the cremation ground, where she is surrounded by howling jackals. She stands
on the chest of Siva in the form of a corpse. She is eager to have sexual intercourse in
reverse fashion with Mahakala. She wears a satisfied expression. She smiles(1).

The
description of the temple itself underlines Kali's awful, uncivilized nature. The temple is constructed of bones, flesh,
blood, heads, and body parts of enemies killed in battle. The
severed heads are used as bricks,
the blood used to make mortar, elephant tusks serve as roof trusses, and on top
of the enclosure walls (a common feature of South Indian temples) "the
severed heads of peacocks, the heads of men offered as sacrifice, the
heads of young babies also severed in sacrifice and blood-oozing
flesh
as standards
were placed as beautifying elements."14
The temple is
"cleansed" daily with blood
instead of water, and flesh is offered to the goddess
instead of flowers. The fires consuming the corpses of sacrificial
victims also serve as lamps.
The
description of the worshipers and the puja
at the temple is equally
horrific. A graphic account is
given of a devotee
chopping off his own head as an offering to the
goddess. (15) Warriors also offer their heads to the goddess to demonstrate their fearlessness. Yoginis
frequent the temple and
arrive there with swords and severed
heads, in
appearance like Kali herself. The temple is “full of blood, flesh, burning
corpses, vultures,
jackals and goblins.”(16) Kali herself is seated on a couch of five
ghosts (panca preta) with a corpse as a pillow. She sleeps on a bed
made of flesh.(17)

Obviously he eats his victims because they ate Mischa. An
eye for an eye. But why the
gourmet preparation? Why serve their
organs sautéed in butter and shallots? Why spend
exorbitant amounts of money on vintage wines to go with these human entrees? Because Lecter
knows he’s better than the troglodytes who killed his sister. He has refinement and a noble
lineage. He would never eat meat roasted
on a stick. He does it the most
sophisticated way possible. His meticulous
preparation of human flesh is his way of throwing it in the faces of the deserters who gnawed on Mischa’s bones.
Though Harris taunts his readers with the
expectation that Lecter will hurt Clarice Starling the moment he
gets the chance,
Clarice
is the safest of anyone in the books because she becomes Lecter’s
surrogate Mischa. Lecter states it
directly after he has her securely under his spell: “’And so I came to believe,’ Dr. Lecter
was saying, ‘that there had to be a place in the world for Mischa, a prime place vacated for her, and I came to
think, Clarice, that the best place in the world was yours.’”

In real life a serial
killer’s fantasy is never fulfilled. It evolves, becomes more
elaborate, consumes more of the killer’s
being. He keeps killing because there is never
any closure. Similarly, a fictional series character
goes on and on as long as the
public thirsts for more adventures featuring that character. The series detective returns time
and again in book after book to solve more and more crimes. Dracula springs fresh from the grave in new movies
and books season after season. The spirit of Lecter will go on as well, if not directly from the pen of
Thomas Harris, then in the myriad serial-killer
clones he has spawned

by the press "The Tooth Fairy," played by a splendidly buffed Ralph Fiennes. (If a body double wasn't being used
for some of his naked scenes, producers might well start to consider starring him as
an action hero.) He
brings real passion, violence and subtlety
to his psychopath, reminding us he played a
notable Hamlet on the stage, and making the character far
more interesting than the script suggests.

Imprisoning Sex Offenders Past Their Terms

Published:
KEARNY, N.J. — Robert Deavers,
guilty
of two
rapes, has done his 20 years in
prison. He still has
not been freed.
Instead, for five years, he has been locked up by state officials who are worried
about what he might do.
Mr. Deavers took another
try at gaining his release in the fall of 2002 at a hearing, his third. The subject
was his state of
mind, and he quickly
lost hope.
A state psychiatrist who had interviewed him
briefly told the closed, nearly empty courtroom that Mr. Deavers tended to self-righteousness and had been taken
to task in
group therapy for being overconfident.
A psychologist who had never met him but had
reviewed his records
said he
was egocentric. There was much
testimony about an incident in which he had bumped into a female guard.

and allure can be found in her
thousand-name hymn. She is said to give enjoyment (v. 10), to be completely beautiful

The law has long allowed the commitment
of mentally ill people who pose
an imminent danger to others. But the detention of these men, many legal
experts say, is a striking departure from the principle that people who are not mentally ill may be confined only for their acts, not their thoughts.
In yearly review hearings, the men are
judged by their sexual tastes and fantasies — or what psychiatrists suppose to be their
fantasies — as
well as their performance on psychological tests, their
attitudes toward authority and their willingness to acknowledge their crimes and disorders.
Many are rapists or child molesters, and the fear that
they might commit more of the same crimes is grave. In 1998 New Jersey — like
other states reacting to murders by sex offenders with previous convictions — authorized the
commitment of anyone who has served time for a sex crime and is found to
have a "mental abnormality or personality disorder" that makes him
likely to commit another crime. These men are to be given treatment, chiefly group
therapy, until they are judged no longer dangerous.
Five years later, only a handful have
been released,
and critics
of the commitment process — psychiatrists, civil-liberties advocates and even
some early supporters of the law — are concerned that it is merely an exercise rigged to keep sex offenders locked up for a lifetime.

Supporters of the law note that most of those
committed are repeat offenders, and say they warrant every effort to determine whether they
might commit future crimes. As hard as it may be to predict behavior, they say, the
alternative is waiting for another rape.
Yet because of the secrecy surrounding the law, few of those supporters
know how
it has been put into practice.
New Jersey, more than most states, seals the commitment process from public view. It is one of three states
that do not have juries at the hearings, which are closed to protect patients'
confidentiality. Patients'
names never enter any public record. The decisions of the two Superior Court judges who
handle all the cases are sealed.

The proceedings are a mix of psychiatry and law that according to many in both professions, blurs distinctions the system has long made between the mad and the bad.
The hearings are roughly modeled on commitments
for the mentally ill,
but
with a key difference.
In a regular civil commitment, the focus is on the
patient's current state of mind; crimes committed long ago are usually not
considered relevant. In the hearings at

Critics say the hearings deny offenders both the legal

They say the diagnoses — framed by lawmakers rather than doctors — are so vague they could apply to millions of people. By rummaging through a patient's past and psyche, they say, the state can always find a reason to keep him

The offender then awaits an initial commitment
hearing. There, the state presents its diagnoses and usually argues that the
offender has shown an inability to control his deviant impulses, which in turn
shows a high likelihood of committing another crime. The state wins 95 percent
of those cases, according to the attorney general's office, and even more of
the annual review hearings that follow.
In five years, 11 patients have been released out of
302 committed, according to the Department of Corrections, which would not say
why. The state has recommended none for release.
Courts around the nation have upheld
violent-predator statutes since
The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled last year that
the offender must be found "highly likely," not just more likely than
not, to commit further sex crimes.
But experts say none of those rulings have had much
effect.
Dr. Paul Appelbaum, a past
president of the American Psychiatric Association and an authority on
psychiatry and the law, said the
The association has called the predator statutes
"a serious assault on the integrity of psychiatry," objecting to the use of
statements made in psychotherapy as evidence against patients, and the use of
the mental health system for people who are not mentally ill. (Like most
states,
"It's hard to know where to start
because the whole thing is so crazy," Dr. Appelbaum said.
Many of those familiar with
Dr. Timothy P. Foley, a forensic psychologist who
has testified for both sides in commitment hearings, said one common
diagnosis — "personality disorder, not otherwise specified," or
N.O.S. — could apply to "anybody who's interesting."
"I would diagnose myself with
personality disorder, N.O.S.," he said.
Most psychiatrists and psychologists also say they can
never reliably predict recidivism, which Justice Department analyses show is
lower among sex offenders than in the general criminal population, though it
varies greatly by offense.
The state often cites patients' denials — or playing
down — of offenses as evidence that further treatment is needed. But most
forensic studies have found no link between denial or
hostility to treatment and future crimes.
Proponents of the sex-offender laws say it is the
responsibility of the legal system to make that difficult prediction.
"That's the way the law always works,"
said Richard Samp, the chief counsel of the
Brushing Against a Guard
Robert Deavers was the
first person to be committed under
Mr. Deavers, a 53-year-old
"I told them I'd wear a bracelet,
a chip with a G.P.S. tracking device," Mr. Deavers said in an
interview before the hearing. "I told them I'd urinate in a jar weekly. I'm the one who put myself in this position, so in order to make them feel
comfortable I'm willing to give up some of my own civil liberties."
But in the hearing, a new problem emerged: rushing
through a doorway recently, he brushed up against a female guard. Sent to
solitary confinement, he went on a hunger strike in protest and refused to
speak to staff members.
Mr. Deavers's public
defender, Joan Van Pelt, said the incident had been an accident and not
sexually motivated, and introduced the results of a polygraph test that backed
him up. But the state's psychiatrist was skeptical.
"That doesn't mean he didn't have
those thoughts,"
said the psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Gnassi. "Brushing past a woman, a man — it's difficult, I would think, not to have
some type of sexual thinking."
But it was Mr. Deavers's
reaction to the incident that most concerned the state's next witness, Dr.
Merrill Berger. "He didn't get it," Dr. Berger said of the guard's
complaint. "He was crushed that she would feel this way. This really
speaks to his egocentric view of the world."
The state contended that the incident showed a lack
of self-control, which would make Mr. Deavers likely
to commit another crime. The argument succeeded. The judge, Serena Perretti, found that he had been "acting against his
best interest, asserting his entitlement, regardless of the rights of
others."
In some states, similar commitment hearings are
full-fledged trials lasting weeks, but in
Patients often have no expert
witnesses to dispute the state's findings. Many said the public defender's office had denied their
requests for an independent evaluation, leaving them with no allies in court but a public defender who might have
40 other cases.
Their complaints are hard to verify; the public
defender's office would say only that "occasionally" it would refuse
to hire an expert "where to do so would not be reasonably expected to
advance the client's case."
Most of the testimony is based on the
patient's records, containing everything from juvenile charges to the notes of
his therapists. Many of the evaluators' reports were written years ago and
borrowed from yet older evaluations. The reports are often ambiguous or
sketchy, even indecipherable.
At a September hearing for Edward Gorcica, an exhibitionist who had exposed himself to
children, the state's psychiatrist, Dr. Michael McAllister, said he would
tentatively add fetishism to his list of diagnoses. He said he had just noticed
a statement in a 1999 psychiatrist's report that Mr. Gorcica
had mentioned fantasizing about feet.
Patrick Madden, the public defender, said the
handwritten report appeared to say that the patient "fantasized about
women but not children." Dr. McAllister, he said, had probably mistaken
the word "but" for "feet."
Judge Perretti, squinting
at the document, said that was the more logical interpretation and asked the
doctor if he would withdraw his statement. Not necessarily, Dr. McAllister
replied. He said he had seen other reports by that psychiatrist, who was
foreign-born, and that "sometimes his syntax is a bit off."
The record of a patient's crimes —
usually called "the official version" — takes on an
authority of its own, not just for its details, but also for the psychiatric
interpretations it contains about those details.
"This is so much like everything that was
criticized in the
She added, "If you say you didn't do it,
that's just evidence of how much you need treatment."
A Piece of His Record William Anderson, an amateur
boxer and occasional drug dealer from
But in July, at his latest review hearing, he was
confronted with a piece of his record that he thought had been resolved: the
specifics behind charges that were dropped when he accepted the plea bargains.
Mr. Anderson, 34, maintains that from the start, he
had denied some of the accusations in police reports. That was exactly the
problem, said Dr. Stanley Kern, the state's psychiatrist, who argued that Mr.
Anderson posed a risk of offending again in part because he "does not
fully admit to sex offenses as documented in the official records."
As Dr. Kern recounted the rape, Mr. Anderson, then
23, forced the woman to perform oral sex on him and submit to vaginal and anal
sex, and then raped her anally with a flashlight.
Mr. Anderson's public defender, Ms. Van Pelt,
protested that there was no evidence of an assault with a flashlight and that
that charge had been dropped. Ms. Van Pelt asked Dr. Kern if he had seen the
report of the doctor who examined the victim; it noted that there was "no
medical evidence of any lacerations or bleeding in the genital or rectal
area." Dr. Kern said he had not.
When Judge Perretti
announced her decision, it was not clear what weight she had given the events
of a decade ago. But she did note another detail from his record: Mr. Anderson
had fathered five children by the age of 18, "only three in wedlock."
"That does clearly indicate a maladaptive
pattern of behavior,"
she said.
She concluded, "I do not find any evidence
that, given denials, rationalizations and blame-shifting, that the
respondent's treatment has in any respect diminished his risk."

The
World Health Organization defines "health" as unim-paired mental, physical, and social
well-being and functioning. We have a
long way to go before even half of the human race reaches this condition. In
the meantime a large number of therapists will either lose their initial optimism
and succumb to depression or cynism, or they will
talk themselves into believing that they have been more
successful than they actually have been.
Clearly,
then, there are definite limits to healing, although the word itself suggests
otherwise. "Heal" is related to the German word, Heil, meaning “heal” or “whole”. In northern German
dialect the word Heil is used in the sense of
“whole”. The Swedish word hel, “whole”, and the Slavic word celyj, “whole” or “complete”, belong to the same word
family. In other words when we set
about to “heal” our patients, we want them to become “whole”.

We
describe here how we tried various approaches, discarded what failed to work,
and developed and refined new concepts and techniques. Our end product is a
systematic process that, under specified conditions, can achieve the single
objective of helping a criminal to change himself into a totally responsible
and constructive person.
The
title of this chapter may seem to refer to criminals. It does not. We, the investigators, were reluctant to give
up concepts and theories that had worked for us in treating noncriminals.

Our
criminal patients have come from a wide range of backgrounds, with respect to
socioeconomic status, religious preference, and domestic stability. Our
subjects were of average intelligence, as determined by prior testing...The age
span of our group has been fifteen to fifty-five. We have worked with drug
users and nonusers.
We
began our work with the attitude that it was to be an open, diligent search for
facts. We encountered things that we did not understand at the time, but we
kept minutely detailed notes, which were a continuing source of methodologic change. We were not interested in diagnostic
labels, having believed for years that such labels concealed more than they
revealed. Our emphasis was to be on patient's underlying motivational factors
that led to their committing crimes. We were actively interested in sociologic
factors, as well as psychologic.

Benjamin B. Wolman. (October 1999) Antisocial behavior: Personality Disorders from Hostility to Homicide.
Prometheus Books;
Paperback: 200 pages. ISBN: 1573927015.
Antisocial
behavior is an extraordinarily well-written book. It reveals the psychological
nature of the psychopaths. Moreover, Wolman makes an attempt to explain what
factors give rise to antisocial behavior. Admittedly, he does this very well. Psychopaths are described as being
indifferent, cunning, immoral, impulsive and insidious individuals. What is more, they usually show no signs of remorse for their gruesome
deeds. The implication here is
that they totally lack
compassion for their fellow beings.
Wolman unveils that psychopaths
are narcissistic individuals; they have a tendency to think that they are
entitled to other people's things and that they deserve to be loved. The above mentioned traits are thought to be
characteristic of highly
maladaptive individuals. However, Wolman also
points to environmental
determinants as possible causes of deviant behavior. Parents
and teachers can sometimes contribute to the rise of antisocial and sociopathic behavior.
Wolman emphasizes that hyper-permissive
parents do not teach their children the importance of morality and consequently
their children will fail to distinguish right from wrong. According
to Wolman, the primary purpose of morality is to inhibit inborn instincts and
impulses. Furthermore, the way that parents rear their
children can be crucial. Parental rejection can adversely affect their
children's self-confidence and self-reliance. Undeniably, these children will
feel neglected and unwanted if their parents are not affectionate and
considerate. Needless to say, abusive parents foster deviant behavior in myriad
ways. Children of abusive parents are usually very aggressive, hostile and tend
to hate their parents. These children cannot however behave aggressively toward
their parents as they fear that they might retaliate. Instead, they behave
aggressively toward weak people who are unable to fight back.

Ian Huntley's
very ordinary world was turned upside down when his wife ran off with his
younger brother and his mother set up home with a lesbian lover.
The traumatic
events in the mid-1990s brought him close to a complete breakdown and he
embarked on a string of affairs in which he preyed on younger women and
underage girls, seeking to control and manipulate them.
He impressed the
youngsters by projecting an image of success, wearing suits and telling tall
tales about his past, including that he was a pilot and a bodybuilder.
But, in reality,
it was all a facade which hid his own failings as he drifted aimlessly between bedsits and low paid jobs.
Huntley was born
on
A weak child, hospitalised by asthma and bullied, he went to
He was ridiculed
by other pupils as "Spadehead" and the
"white cliff of
Classmates
remember a child who was "quiet", a "bit of a loner" and a
"hanger-on" who ran to teachers if provoked.
Little about him
stood out apart from his having had to be taken to hospital several times after
asthma attacks.
A friend, Yvonne
Puck, now a mother of two, said Huntley was an "average lad".
"He just
blended into the crowd. He wasn't outstanding at anything. He was just your
normal, average kid growing up," she said.
But in the years
immediately after he left school it seems Huntley's obsession with younger
girls was already materialising.
Schoolgirls
would give him money to buy alcohol for them in off licences
and, after his arrest at Soham, one woman came
forward to say she had been French-kissed by Huntley when he was 18 and she was
13.
She said he had
tried the same with some of her friends.
In December
1994, Huntley met 18-year-old Claire Evans, embarked on a whirlwind romance and
asked her to marry him.
At least one
local girl had already turned him down.
They wed within
weeks at a register office in
But the marriage
was over within days and Claire, an RAF administrator,
moved out.
She later fell into
the arms of Huntley's younger brother Wayne, who had been a witness at the
wedding.
After much
soul-searching
The cuckolded
older brother flew into a rage, vowing never to speak to the younger, more
successful Wayne or his wife again.
The love
triangle became the subject of local gossip and Huntley was shattered, claiming
to fellow drinkers in pubs that he had caught his brother and his wife in bed
together.
His revenge was
to refuse to get divorced until 1999, during which time Wayne and Claire stayed
together.
In 2000 they
were eventually able to marry at Thetford United
Reformed Church in
Following the
collapse of his marriage in 1995, Huntley moved round various cheap rented
flats and dead-end jobs in
His only release
was his ability to pick up girls, generally young, in pubs and clubs.
Huntley's final
partner Maxine Carr told jurors that one of his girlfriends had given birth to
Huntley's daughter, now aged five, in 1998.
Another woman he
was involved with was Rebecca Bartlett, who was 19 when Huntley was 23.
She lived with
him for nearly six months, during which time Huntley was calling himself Ian
Nixon.
During this
turbulent period in his early 20s, Huntley's parents, Lynda and Kevin, also
split up and Lynda went to live with a lesbian lover Julie Beasley, who was
nearly 20 years younger and a security guard at a factory where she worked.
The couple lived
openly together above a shop.
This and his own
turbulent love life took their toll and, according to friends, Huntley had some
form of breakdown.
One said:
"He couldn't believe what was happening to his life, everything he loved
was turning upside down."
It was following
the parental split that Huntley took his mother's maiden name and began calling
himself Nixon.
His tendency
towards being a Walter Mitty character intensified
and he would tell workmates and girlfriends all sorts of stories about his
past.
At different
times he said he was a former RAF pilot pushed out on medical grounds, that his father had died when he was a child and
even that he had won the Lottery.
He got jobs
through a local recruitment agency, including working at a fish processing
plant in Caistor, near

Cannibalism: A modern taboo
By Clare Murphy
Photo
The new world was frequently depicted as being rife
with cannibals
Armin Meiwes, the German who is standing trial for eating an
acquaintance, has advised others not to follow his example.
But he is unlikely to be the last to sample
human flesh.
After years of wrangling over its very existence,
anthropologists increasingly concur that cannibalism is a tradition which has
spanned both cultures and centuries, although the extent to which it has been practised remains an academic battleground.
General repugnance has met the case of Mr Meiwes, who has confessed to
killing and eating a man he met after advertising for someone who wanted to be
killed and eaten.
While modern societies have proven largely
sympathetic to "survival cannibalism" - eating others on the grounds
of nutritional necessity - many remain uncomfortable with the notion of
the ritualistic consumption of human flesh - however consensual the act may be.
Demonising effect
The term cannibalism derives from the name of the
West Indian Carib tribe, first documented by the
explorer Christopher Columbus. The Carib tribe was
alleged to eat others - it remains unclear whether they did indeed do so.
Early accounts of cannibalism by
European colonisers have been widely viewed with suspicion on the grounds that allegations
may well have been made in an effort to illustrate the necessity of civilising foreign peoples.
For cannibalism has frequently been used as a means to demonise others:
Medieval Christian culture frequently depicted the Jew who had a taste for the
blood of Christian babies.
But while anthropologists approach stories of
cannibalism with caution, there do nonetheless appear to be substantiated
examples of both ritualistic and survival cannibalism throughout history.
Murder and survival
The Aztecs are believed to have practised cannibalism on a large scale as part of the ritual religious sacrifice of war captives and
other victims in a practice known as exocannibalism - the eating of strangers or enemies.
Earlier this year the United Nations accused rebels in the
Democratic
Photo
Mr Meiwes
insists the act was consensual
Aboriginal Australians are meanwhile believed to
have taken part in what is seen as a more benevolent form of cannibalism - endocannibalism - the consumption of friends and
relatives, who are usually dead.
In this case, the body of a dead person was ritually
eaten by his relatives as a means of allowing his spirit to live on.
History also provides ample examples
of cannibalism during famine and other periods of severe shortages.
Survival cannibalism was made famous by the film Alive, based on the 1972 air
crash in the
And somewhere between ritual and
survival lies the case of the Fore tribe in
While the men of the Fore tribe supplemented their
bean-and-sweet-potato diets with small game, women and children made up for their
lack of protein by eating the brains of tribal members who had recently died.
Some scientists hold the practice responsible for
incidences of a fatal brain disease, the symptoms of which are similar to the
human form of mad cow disease, although other experts have disputed the link.
Breaking a taboo
In many countries, the consumption of
human flesh is not itself a crime.
Perpetrators tend to be convicted on
the basis of accompanying acts: Mr Meiwes,
for example, has not been charged with cannibalism, but with murder for "sexual
satisfaction".
A number of high-profile cannibal
cases have involved the
eating of flesh in
a sexual context.
Albert Fish, who has been called America's Bogeyman,
raped, murdered and ate a number of children during the 1920s. He claimed to
have experienced immense sexual pleasure as a result.
Russian serial killer Andrei Chikatilo,
who murdered at least 53 people between 1978 and 1990, also indulged in
cannibalism. His crimes were linked to sexual problems.
But what distinguishes Mr Meiwes' self-confessed sexual cannibalism from killers such
as Fish and Chikatilo, or acts committed by peoples
such as the Aztecs or the Congolese rebels, is the ostensibly consensual
nature of his act.
Mr Meiwes
met the man he was ultimately to eat, 43-year-old Bernd-Jurgen
Brandes, in early 2001, after
advertising on websites for "young, well-built men aged 18 to 30 to
slaughter".
Mr Meiwes
told investigators he took Mr Brandes
back to his home, where Mr Brandes
agreed to have his penis cut off, which Mr Meiwes then flambeed and served up to eat
together.
Mr Meiwes
says he then killed Mr Brandes
with his consent.
But the allegedly consensual nature of
the act has done nothing to pacify German disgust.
Whether Mr Meiwes' victim was willing or not, eating another
for anything less than necessity remains a taboo in the modern world.

Only a minority of US troops collected Japanese body
parts as trophies, and it is not possible to determine the percentage who did. However "..their behaviour reflected attitudes which were very widely
shared."[3][4] In addition to trophy skulls, teeth, ears and other such
objects, taken body parts were occasionally modified, for example by writing on
them or fashioning them into utilities or other artifacts.[5] "U.S.
Marines on their way to Guadalcanal relished the prospect of making necklaces
of Japanese gold teeth and "pickling" Japanese ears as
keepsakes."[6] In an air base in

There is some disagreement between historians over

The collection of Japanese body parts began quite
early in the campaign, prompting a September 1942 order for disciplinary action
against such souvenir taking.[3] Harrison concludes
that since this was the first real opportunity to take such items (the battle
of Guadalcanal), "Clearly, the collection of body parts on a scale large
enough to concern the military authorities had started as soon as the first
living or dead Japanese bodies were encountered."[3] Eric Bergerud explains the attitudes which lead to this behavior
by noting that the Marines who fought on Guadalcanal were aware of Japanese
atrocities against the defenders of Wake Island, which included the beheading
of several Marines, and the Bataan Death March prior
to the start of the campaign.[12] When Charles Lindbergh passed through customs
at Hawaii in 1944 it was controlled if he was carrying bones.[vague] This was
because of the large number of souvenir bones discovered in customs, also
including “green” (uncured) skulls.[13]

Dehumanisation
Picture
U.S government poster from WWII featuring a Japanese
soldier depicted as a rat
In the U.S. there was a widely held view that the
Japanese were less than human.[14] This view was caused by the popular anger at
the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor amplifying pre-war racial
prejudices.[11] The U.S. media helped propagate this view of the Japanese, for
example describing them as “yellow vermin”.[14]. In an official U.S. Navy film
Japanese troops were described as “living, snarling rats”.[15]
The mixture of racism, dehumanizing propaganda, and real and imagined Japanese
atrocities led to intense loathing of the Japanese.[14] Despite the impact of
this propaganda, U.S. Army opinion surveys found that the high degree of hatred
towards the Japanese expressed by soldiers in training typically declined
dramatically once the men entered combat.[16]
The combination of Japanese soldiers' reluctance to
surrender and hostile American attitudes to Japanese contributed to the fact
that relatively few Japanese soldiers were taken prisoner. (For a discussion of
Allied soldiers "standard practice"[17] of killing Japanese prisoners
and Japanese attempting to surrender see Allied war crimes during World War
II.) Niall Ferguson states in Prisoner Taking and Prisoner Killing in the Age
of Total War: "To the historian who has specialized in German history, this
is one of the most troubling aspects of the Second World War: the fact that
Allied troops often regarded the Japanese in the same way that Germans regarded
Russians – as Untermenschen."[18] Since the
Japanese were regarded as animals it is not surprising that the Japanese
remains were treated in the same way as animal remains.[14]
Simon Harrison comes to the conclusion in his paper
“Skull trophies of the Pacific War: transgressive
objects of remembrance” that the small minority of U.S. personnel who collected
Japanese skulls did so as they came from a society which placed much value in
hunting as a symbol of masculinity, combined with a de-humanization of the
enemy.
Brutalization
Some writers and veterans state that the body parts
trophy and souvenir taking was a side effect of the brutalizing effects of a
harsh campaign.[19]
Harrison argues that while brutalization could
explain part of the mutilations, this explanation does not explain the
servicemen who already before shipping off for the Pacific proclaimed their
intention to acquire such objects.[20] He believes that it also does not
explain the many cases of servicemen collecting the objects as gifts for people
back home.[20] Harrison concludes that there is no evidence that the average
serviceman collecting this type of souvenirs was suffering from "combat
fatigue". They were normal men who felt this was what their loved ones
wanted them to collect for them.[21] Skulls were sometimes also collected as
souvenirs by non-combat personnel.[19] Skulls and teeth were also sometimes
traded amongst personnel.[19]
Revenge
According to Bergerud
“Stern disciplinary action” against human remains
souvenir taking was ordered by the Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet as
early as September 1942.[3] In October 1943 General George C. Marshall radioed
General Douglas MacArthur about “his concern over
current reports of atrocities committed by American soldiers”.[25] In January
1944 JCS issued a directive against the taking of Japanese body parts.[25]
Directives of this type may have been effective in some areas, "but they
seem to have been implemented only partially and unevenly by local
commanders".[3]
In May 1944 Life Magazine published a photo of an
American girl with a Japanese skull sent to her by her naval officer boyfriend.[26] The letters Life received from its readers in response
to this photo were "overwhelmingly condemnatory"[27] and the Army
directed its Bureau of Public Relations to inform U.S. publishers that “the
publication of such stories would be likely to encourage the enemy to take
reprisals against American dead and prisoners of war.”[28] The junior officer
who had sent the skull was also traced and officially reprimanded.[21]
The Life photo also led to the
On 13 June 1944 the press reported that President
Roosevelt had been presented with a letter-opener made out of a Japanese
soldiers arm bone by Congressman Walter.[21] Several
weeks later it was reported that it had been given back with the explanation
that the President did not want this type of object and recommended it be
buried instead. In doing so,
In October 1944 the Right Rev. Henry St. George
Tucker, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States of
America, issued a statement which deplored "'isolated' acts of desecration
with respect to the bodies of slain Japanese soldiers and appealed to American
soldiers as a group to discourage such actions on the part of
individuals."[30][31]

Context
All WWII remains discovered in the U.S. attributable
to an ethnicity are of Japanese origins, none come from Europe.[5] The
practice[citation needed] of taking skull trophies was resumed during the
Vietnam War.
Many Australian soldiers also mutilated Japanese
bodies, most commonly by taking gold teeth from corpses. "The vast
majority of Australians found such behaviour
abhorrent", however, and it was considered a crime by the Australian Army
and officially discouraged.[33] In another similarity to the U.S. Army,
Australian troops almost never mutilated the bodies of the German and Italian
soldiers they faced in North Africa and Greece. Australian soldiers
"unusually murderous behavior" towards their Japanese opponents was
caused by racism, a lack of understanding of Japanese military culture and,
most significantly, a desire to take revenge against the murder and mutilation
of Australian prisoners and native New Guineans during the

“Thou belongest
to That Which Is
Undying, and not merely to time alone,” murmured the Sphinx, breaking its muteness at last. “Thou art
eternal, and not merely

in thy heart, as I waited,
sand-wrapped, in thy world. Know thyself, O mortal! For there is One within thee, as in all men, that comes and stands at the bar and bears witness that there IS a God!”
