Programmed to Kill: The Politics of Serial Murder

Programmed to Kill should be read by every truth seeker who can handle it.It's amazing to live in these times as the veils are lifted all around us. I used to think that anything "satanic" was just a joke, like some of the negative "reviewers" who probably did not read the book.I remember the media circuses around the Boston Strangler, Richard Speck, and others, and it's clear the media purposely see no deeper evil.You don't have to believe the devil is a living being to understand that satanism is the religion of the psychopathic power trippers, and satanic rituals reinforce the death of any shred of "conscience" and close this insider group together against the rest of the world.Dave did a lot of research that "mainstream media" would never touch. After all, influencing public opinion to make democracy safe for fascism is their job.People who have awoken since 9/11 can understand the "strategy of tension", as revealed about the Gladio program--keep the public scared, so the authorities gain absolute power.I get it now--Aleister Crowley was no joker. People who idolize him idolize any and all crimes including child kidnapping, torture, mutilation, and rape, even of small children.It's hard to read and hard to put down this book. It is very well documented, and reveals the most scary side of how evil criminals are used by government to demoralize the public.We can not hide from the fact that our government kidnaps and tortures people. These programs have roots in satanism, with "people" like Lt. Col Michael Aquino, founder of a satanist temple, their architects.This is a very important book. Read it!

The corruption, brutality, and evil that McGowan describes in this book is literally unthinkable, surpassing by far the most gruesome and hideous depravity you are capable of even imagining. More revolting still is the unfathomable degree to which the most essential guardians of the public trust, the police, the courts, the legislators, etc., are *totally and actively complicit* in the most most unspeakably deplorable evils ever perpetrated either in reality or in the human imagination. The only possible explanation here is that these agents of public trust are *systematically* farmed from carefully cultivated and guarded pits of nefariousness. That is the *only* possible explanation for the corruption.McGowan methodically establishes his argument with a relentless account of strange coincidences, anomalies, curious omissions, and quiet disclosures that, when taken cumulatively, form undeniable patterns of criminal organization, corruption and covert military/intelligence activity permeating all of this. In the mist of this torret of documentation, he somehow manages to write with a verve and--amazingly--humor that, in light of the subject matter, can only be called heroic.McGowan really should do a better job in citing his sources clearly. With his prior book, *American Fascism and the Politics of Illusion*, this failure to cite his sources in a clear and timely manner impelled me to dock a star.With this book, I'll let it slide. McGowan does include a list of references at the end of the book, though he should back up at least his more extraordinary claims in the course of the text. Quite frankly, I have been able to independently corroborate every allegation in the book that I have looked into. Everything he says about Marc Dutroux is real. The fascinating story about G.W. Bush, as governor of Texas, commuting the death sentence of Henry Lee Lucas is real. The stuff about top NSA Operative Michael Aquino starting a Satanic cult and making a pilgrimage to a former Nazi palace in full Nazi regalia is true. And so on.This book convinced me that McGowan is essential reading for those who want to get to the real core of how modern power politics operates and what the real modes of government and social organization are around the world. McGowan is almost uniquely indispensable.

Essencial to understanding the reality of the deep state. Could not put it down but read right through.

Wife loved this book. Great author

Excellent review of the serial killings of the past 60 years or so in relation to the 'deep state'. Mcgowan's book, like Nick Bryant's The Franklin Scandal which he references a few times, posits an nefarious entity intent upon satisfying the basest instincts of the human species. Also like Bryant's book, the evidence presented is extremely compelling, yet not completely indisputable. Perhaps this entity is both so thorough in its operations and so inextricably connected to the power structures, that an air tight case cannot be built. The book is a page turner and will challenge what you've been lead to believe about the some of the most notorious criminals paraded across your TV sets and reported in your tabloids.The book is not without problems though. Mcgowan does seem to repeat, without vetting, some of the more apocryphal accounts of the biographies he present. These are pretty much harness though and he is never incredulous on the judicial aspects of the cases. An example of where he could have been more careful is when he describes Charles Manson's mother as a child prostitute who abandoned Manson soon after his birth. This is factual incorrect but widely believed. And that's why I'm giving this a 4 star review. There really is no excuse for authors to perpetuate falsities especially when writing about this type of material!Overall this is a compelling account of the abhorrent episodes of serial killings (and pedophilia) that offers a fresh perspective about its existence within a civil society.
