John Mark Karr - Rove’s Masterpiece

Premise: The current collective unconscious configuration:

Double “killer mommy” group-fantasy (see L. deMause’s NYC Psychohistory Institute group for full elaboration. http://www.psychohistory.com/ )

Jon Benet //’Patsy’ Ramsey: proposed scenario: the mother, possibly a victim of abuse herself, lashes out in blind Bad Girl! ‘punishment rage’ flashback from her own childhood, ‘accidentally’ bangs daughter’s head on the bathtub for bedwetting and impertinence. Thinking her dead, or refusing to face the consequences of her act, the further CS details are staged and the rest is history. (condensation of http://jonbenetramsey.pbwiki.com/Patsy%20Ramsey )

Enter John Mark Karr, whose mother tried to kill him as a baby.

Karr's Mother Tried to Kill Him, Family Friend Says
ATLANTA, Aug. 21, 2006 — The mother of the suspect in JonBenet Ramsey's murder tried to kill him when he was only a baby, a family friend told ABC News.

John Karr's mother, Patricia Elaine Adcock "made a big round donut [of kindling] and put him in the middle of it," said George McCrary, 76, who said he has known Karr's father, Wexford Karr, for 40 years.

"She just boxed the little baby in and tried to light it," McCrary said. John's older brother Michael "came running in just before she got the flame to the flammable material," McCrary added

Analysis and discussion

There are two ways of seeing the juxtaposition of these names prominent in today’s group token-space* (*field of communication)

“JonBenet Ramsey” and “John Mark Karr”.

A heinous 10 yr old murder case, thought to be thankfully behind us, of the little beauty pageant queen is now brought back full force, as if it were something the media audience was ‘wanting’ to re-experience. The Unc. brings about agreement between repressed desire – in this case, perverse childhood sexuality leaving victim dead) – and perception. The motive: to bring to consciousness the children killed by Bush’s Bitch Brigade, aka “security moms” (reversal of ‘protecting’ THEIR children by killing Hezbollah’s, who ‘want to kill Jews’ – suicide bomb kids are carriers of unconscious death wishes toward Jews.) and scapegoating a focused substitute.

At the group level of American experience, this would elicit the guilt we all share in killing the children of Lebanon (Iraq, Palestine, Iran on deck) – reflected (‘looped by association’) through each one’s own experience, with repression and displacement. It is what America the Beautiful has done to those poor people over there which group consciousness (read MSM) cannot accept, but someone must get punished for.

According to one view, Karr was never connected to the actual event, EXCEPT IN HIS FANTASIES. Never in Boulder at all, though apparently having some kind of hold on Patsy, possibly to get to Jon Benet. In my opinion at this point, this seems most plausible.

In the other p/o/v, he’s the killer. Mrs. Ramsay is not involved, which surely everyone wants to believe. Everyone’s love for their own mother provides a very powerful motive, when scenes of mothers killing their kids become conscious, to reject it and displace guilt from her to him. If the first view is true, this scene of his killing her EXISTS ONLY IN OUR FANTASY. Here is the double-fantasy configuration, same at each end of the “Y”. Rove’s masterpiece. Obituates the Cindy Sheehan rebellion (I already tagged her as the neocon’s “killer mommy” last summer, pre-Katrina – she was killing them; then came the hurricanes).


In context, the media was showing pictures of Israel shelling Lebanon, what few were available. This was a historical act of extraordinary cruelty, deliberately undertaken. Pat Buchanan called it collective punishment – then disappeared stage left, briefly, only to reenter stage right, as author of a timely smash hit book on immigration. (He doesn’t look Jewish, but I’ll swear they are brothers under the skin. I’d say it was Bay’s influence, but I’m afraid he would wack me out.)

Also in context was hugely elevated terror threat, originating from British intelligence. MI5 unfolds tale of a vast plot to bring down 10 airplanes simultaneously. Biggest terrorist attacks since 9.ll, busted serrendipitously on 8.10 (tune in for the aftermath). Jams airports, creates transportation chaos, saturates the atmosphere of tokenspace* with a new level of hysteria. (Raises the cathexis-potential in psychodynamics (the ‘economic’, energy factor). Ugly recoil in the public’s behavior looms, even now, (8.26), as minor incidents trigger big disruptive responses (100+ passengers imprisoned 7 hours in plane with two glasses of water).

BURSTING ON THE SCENE – MR. WIMP HIMSELF, if there ever was one.

Forget Fartman. Beyond your local ramblin’ NAMBLA man. Out of the brothels of Thailand, where the elite meet-to-eat, if your taste is tender young-uns. Here comes your John Lynd Walker, al-Queda type, liberal, girlieman, pussified, post-60’s culture product, ALL ROLLED INTO ONE sadistic, ultra-perverted, pornographic pedophile inhuman monster. (Use active imagination to condense fantasy elements.)

WHAT IT MEANS

God himself couldn’t have designed a finer token of cultural hatred for the GOP to campaign against. A Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin (Gannet) opinion piece announced: “John Mark Karr: The Logical Product of American Culture”, by James P. Pinkerton (8.24). Newsday online, edited by Pinkerton, had

Karr: I have fun, I have rights, I have the media
August 22, 2006
Inside the mind of John Mark Karr: Don't worry, I won't take you all the way inside my mind - I have to save something for my Barbara Walters interview!

But I will tell you three things. I am the logical culmination - or at least predictable result - of three cultural trends visible during my 41 years on this Earth: First, baby-boomer hedonism. Second, rights-based legal proceduralism. And third, the media's enabling of what I regard as "authentic" behavior.
, as a boomer, I grew up with "Do your own thing" and "If it feels good, do it!" And, of course, "Free to be ... you and me." Well, for me, spending "quality time" with children is my thing. It's what feels good to me. It's who I am.

Now, of course, the authorities are saying that I went too far, that personal freedom doesn't include having sex with children. But where were they when the novel "Lolita" was published, back in 1955? That book, about an older man's affair with a12 1/2-year-old girl - which provided erotic inspiration to millions of pedophiles - is regarded as one of the great works of 20th century literature. And needless to say, I agree!

Second, I know my legal rights. We all have rights, which keep the government from cracking down on us. Rights for everyone are embedded in our culture; young Hillary Rodham Clinton wrote her law school thesis on the legal rights of children, including the right to sue their own parents. Decades later, when Michael Jackson, exercising his romantic rights, was ambushed by the cops, he hired a bunch of lawyers and got himself off. That seems to be the test: Can you hire enough lawyers?

Sadly, I don't have Jackson's money, so I have to depend on some lawyer taking my case pro bono. But I'm not worried; I'll get a good one, because whoever takes my high-profile case is guaranteed fame - and probably fortune - ever after.

Third, speaking of fame, let's not neglect my best ally, my enabler, the media. The media brought me close to girls I had never even met. Before I ever knew of JonBenet Ramsey, for example, the press had brought me the sensational news of Polly Klaas, the girl who was taken from me - you would say "murdered" - in Petaluma, Calif., back in 1993.

She became famous in death. Most people were repulsed by the crime, to be sure, and laws were changed as a result, but I had my own unique reaction - as is my right! The more I learned about her, consuming the tabloid-y news, the more I grew, shall I say, fond of her and her memory. So of course I moved to the same town, Petaluma, to work there as a schoolteacher, to bask in the aura of her continuing ghostly presence. Does that sound weird to you? Well, turn on a TV, and you will see what I mean: In the bluish glow of television, as well as computers, the dead have a kind of second life, flitting forever on screen.

Yes, the media provide the light that pulls me out of the dark …


Comment: Pieces that begin “inside the mind of” invoke the psychodynamic mechanism of “identification”: the perceived object is a reflection, or ‘projection’ of what is unconscious in oneself (the reader’s own mind). It is a common device used to arouse interest, but carried through here almost as with glee (“Ha! Ha! We got one of the little bastards this time!”), using the first person singular like that --- gee, this Jimmy Pinkerton guy … could almost be the dude himself…

The accompanying Karr pics also elicit “identification”: you* are in the seat next to him; everybody is controlled and respectful around you*; making statements to the world press… The media, itself, picks up on itself, confabulating on how he “manipulates the media to get attention” – a secondary narcissistifc spasm upon arriving at the truthfulness of this truly repulsive side of themselves (which, being unconscious, they naturally confuse with the rest of humanity’s). Women make mommy over you. It would take a mommy to love that. Got mommy in you? (Karr as Jesus – on the mother’s side)

This is Dark America’s unconscious side. Can’t stand to look at it. Can’t resist showing it.


FOLLOWING THE SIGN-USES: LINKS AND ALLUSIONS


Now, there is no time in the unconscious, Jung found. Nothing ever changes. Its contents are bound forever (the word means nothing there) in Archetypal relations. It is the oldest (reptilian brain), hence most conservative, part of the human psyche. (CF. THE UROBUROS; Mad Max)

Thus, the Ramsey girl’s horrific death, 10 years ago, brings back what happened to little Mary Phagan, outside Atlanta, Ga. 93 years ago. The 13 yr old girl was brutally assaulted and killed during a Confederate day parade, allegedly by Leo Frank, owner of the pencil factory where Mary Phagan had gone to pick up her check. Frank was a Jew, and his arrest and trial brought out a large wallop of (what would now be called by the then-formed ADL) “anti-Semitism”; stirred up, by some accounts, by Baptist preachers who saw theological symbolism in it. He was also accused of cocain use, abusing other factory girls, and sexual perversions. He was convicted, jailed, then lynched by a spontaneous Citizen’s Action Committee when big-money NYCity Jewish influence threatened to get him pardoned. The similarity of his case, vis a vis the little factory girl, and the case of John Mark Karr vis a vis the little Ramsey girl is striking. The way the monied, elite, ‘different,’ uppity, clannish “Jew” group were perceived, and collectively felt about, then, was projected onto Leo Frank. It is those same range of feelings projected onto J.M. Karr by the media.

This depth repetition in the unconscious, fed by many branches of the 20th century river draining into the Zuider Zee, explains the wealth of strange, uncanny, wild coincidences. Most striking in the present case is the common “killer mommy” theme. Each person’s developmental experience would pass through a “wish mommy dead” stage; mirrored to different degrees by the reverse, “mommy wishing me dead”, and post-partum depression mothers who actually do wish their kids dead. Merged and conflated (re-)birth fanatsies from this early, and even earlier childhood history provides the matrix for linking: “little girl killers” with the present set of current events. For among the related contents again today is the Jewish question. From Leo Frank to the state of Israel; from Mary Phagan/Jon Benet Ramsey to Hezbollah. It’s as if a perspective showed the same dynamics from a broader, ‘raised’ point of view, with substituted characters and textually re-distributed energies
