  • “CRIME HUNTER: How ‘pedophile’s pedophile’ linked two serial killers”, 2022

    REVIEWED

    (This is a review of a 2022 article by Brad Hunter, published in Toronto Sun, March 12, 2022)

    Shockingly trashy! Even by Sun publishing standards

    A swamp of false and misleading statements

    Did Tracy Ullman pay Brad Hunter to write this? Is she a friend?

    Brad Hunter wrote; “As the clock ticked towards his date with death — May 10, 1994 — Gacy insisted he was innocent (he wasn’t) but also that he had accomplices”

    “Detectives had eyed two employees of Gacy’s contracting firm. They were Michael Rossi and David Cram. Cops found nothing but there was a third former employee that needed a closer look”

    “His name was Phillip Paske, a cross-dressing young man who had a penchant for violence and sex with boys. Paske was also the top lieutenant of a man named John David Norman, who Gacy suggested also played a role”

    Gacy specifically stated that none of his victims were John Norman-Paske male prostitutes, that he had no need for nor interest in them; “David Cram said Paske could get guys for me to blow me, and I told him no way, as I don’t want that kind coming around, so I would have had no need for Norman or Paske’s services”.
    —Gacy prison letter, March 28, 1992

    Brad Hunter wrote: “In the early 1970s, Norman was busted for running a nationwide sex-trafficking operation called the Delta Ring based in Chicago and Dallas that supplied underage boys to pedophiles. At the same time, he ran a bustling child pornography business”

    WOW! People shouldn’t presume to pontificate on historic crime cases, if they are completely ignorant of the facts, and Hunter was apparently totally clueless about John Norman. Norman was NEVER “busted for running a nationwide sex-trafficking operation called the Delta Ring”. In 1973, while living in Dallas, Norman ran a male prostitution service called “Odyssey Foundation” from his apartment there, between May and August of that year. He was raided on a tip from a young prospect named Brisindine, and charged with possession of marijuana and “conspiracy to commit sodomy”. A Grand Jury declined to indict him on either charge and they were dismissed. The only “pornography” Norman produced in Dallas was promotional nude photos of his sex workers.

    Brad Hunter wrote; “Two of the boys believed to have been slain by Gacy were last seen near Norman’s home. Coincidence?”

    First, one of those two boys, Michael Marino, was determined to be a misidentification, so there’s only one – Kenneth Ray Parker. On October 24, 1976, 16-year-old Kenneth Parker was last seen near a restaurant at Clark Street and Diversey Parkway, an intersection where Gacy picked up many of his victims. It was also close to a pinball arcade frequented by juvenile male prostitutes and the men who preyed on them – such as Gacy. So, yes, it’s a coincidence. No one has ever claimed to have seen Parker with Norman or Paske that day.

    Brad Hunter wrote; “Accomplices of Dean “Candy Man” Coryll alleged that the Houston killer worked with Norman and bought, sold and murdered scores of young boys” – OUTRAGEOUS! A bald-faced lie.

    David Brooks and Wayne Henley never “alleged that the Houston killer [Dean Corll] worked with Norman”, that’s bs. What they did say, was that Corll told them he was involved in a ring that bought and sold boys, also operating out of Dallas. Corll never named John Norman to them, he had no idea that John Norman even existed, and neither Brooks nor Henley ever uttered the name John Norman – not in their statements to Houston police nor during their long terms in prison.

    Refer: “Dean mentioned there was a group of people in Dallas which had similar activities to his. He mentioned a man named Art…”, David Brooks statement, Aug. 9, 1973

    “Dean told me that he belonged to an organization out of Dallas that bought and sold boys, ran whores and stuff like that. Dean told me he would pay me $200 for every boy I could bring him…” Statement of Elmer Wayne Henley, Aug.9, 1973

    Brad Hunter wrote; “Even after he was busted in 1973, Norman was shockingly never convicted for sex trafficking…”

    If Brad knew anything about these cases, which he obviously did not, he would have known that The Mann Act, the federal law prohibiting “transporting minors across state lines for the purpose of prostitution”, specifically applied to FEMALE minors only. Norman couldn’t be charged for trafficking BOYS and neither could anyone else!

    Refer: The Mann Act

    Brad Hunter wrote; ““Gacy, Norman and Paske are all in Chicago around that time,” Tracy Ullman, an executive producer of the Peacock docuseries John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise, told oxygen.com. “I find it hard for all these things to just be a coincidence.”

    Well, Gacy LIVED in Chicago for many years, and both Paske and Norman were released on parole into Chicago – they were REQUIRED to live there under the terms of their release. None of them “arranged” for them all to be living in Chicago at that time. Maybe the Illinois parole board set that up deliberately, just to create a mysterious “coincidence” to trouble Tracy Ullman 50 years later?

    Brad Hunter wrote; “One of Gacy’s claims was that Norman’s sex-trafficking ring was making snuff films with young boys. Gacy told detectives they should look through Norman’s videos to see if they recognized any of the victims he’d killed over the years”

    There’s no way Gacy could know that, of course. But there simply were NO “Norman’s videos” to look through! John Norman never made ANY films. All of the CSAM Norman is documented to have made, was in the form of photographs. All of it.

    Refer: “chicken” film which Chicago police claimed Norman had somehow masterminded from his jail cell, was really THEIR idea, and THEY incited a group of pedophiles to make it!

  • “Eye of the Chicken Hawk” reviewed

    Sex, Lies, and Manipulation – overview

    “Eye of the Chicken Hawk”, by Simon Dovey is a self-published masterpiece of manipulative misinformation. It’s not remarkable for what is in it, as he would like to believe, it is remarkable for what is not in it. Almost all the information, about any given case or subject he discusses in this book, has been left out. In this review series I will be highlighting these omissions and providing the missing facts, as well as debunking falsehoods and correcting narratives.

    What Was Left Out

    Ernst Dieter Korzen and Stefan Michael Mahn

    “Eye of the Chickenhawk” begins with this claim, on pg. 6; “…in reality snuff films were confirmed by law enforcement authorities before the turn of the 20th century. In 1999 it was reported: “Two Germans have been jailed for life after becoming the first people in Europe to be convicted of murder while producing a ‘snuff movie,’ a film in which real victims are tortured and killed. A court in the town of Hagan heard how Ernst Dieter Korzen, 37, and Stefan Michael Mahn, 30, filmed themselves sexually assaulting and torturing a 21-year-old woman in 1997 to produce the snuff movies which they expected to sell for more than $25,000. The victim died before the production was complete and the pair kidnapped a second woman to finish the video. But she escaped and the men were arrested…”

    “The victim died before the production was complete…”, she died when the camera was off or not focused on her! They went for a schnitzel break perhaps, and when they got back she was dead. They didn’t capture her death “on camera”, that’s why they had to start again with another victim. “…the pair kidnapped a second woman to finish the video”. But this second woman escaped! and then they were arrested. Game over. So these two horrible men were incompetent filmmakers and incompetent murderers. Whatever they had filmed with the first victim, couldn’t be called a “snuff”, or they would have stopped there. They may have intended to make a snuff film, but they failed.

    The Legendary Russian Child Snuff Films

    Dovey’s next try, on pg. 7-8, is the legendary Russian child snuff film claims. He says;

    “These fears were confirmed the following year when Italian authorities discovered films coded “Necros Pedo” among those being distributed internationally by a child porn network based in Russia. “Last week Italian police seized 3,000 of Kuznetsov’s videos on their way to client’s in Italy; sparking an international hunt for paedophiles who have bought his products. The Italian investigators said the material includes footage of children dying during abuse. Prosecutors in Naples are considering charging those who have bought the videos with complicity in murder. They say some may have specifically requested films of killings. . . The most appalling category was code-named ‘Necros Pedo’ in which children were raped and tortured until they died. . .The Naples newspaper IlMatino published a transcript of an alleged email exchange between a prospective client and the Russian vendors. ‘Promise me you’re not ripping me off,’ says the Italian. ‘Relax. I can assume you this one really dies,’ the Russian responds. ‘The last time I paid I didn’t get what I wanted.’, ‘What do you want?’, ‘To see them die’. ” and cites as his reference — ‘British link to snuff videos’, The Observer, October 1 2000

    Terrifying, isn’t it? “footage of children dying during abuse”, “children were raped and tortured until they died”. Surely, this must be the real thing, real child snuff porn films?
    Good thing, none of it is real. The following month it would be revealed that Italian police had been operating a fake CSAM ordering website for the previous two years. Constructed with the help of Microsoft, the police sting site was designed to lure and trap the very worst of the persons seeking to buy CSAM online; the twisted sickos who would order a film which they believed genuinely depicted children being raped and tortured until they died. Suckers really did “order” videos on the police site, which gave the police all their personal info, including an address for undercover police posing as a delivery service to put the tape right in their hands. No weaseling out with excuses, for these perverts, they’re going to prison. But how do you convince the sickos, that the videos advertised on your police sting site are the real thing? By having “police investigators” declare that “the material includes footage of children dying during abuse”, in media coverage. You could include a disturbing email exchange “between a prospective client and the Russian vendors”, wherein the vendors assure him “this one dies” – except those aren’t Russian vendors, they are Italian police. They will tell the sicko whatever he wants to hear, whatever it takes to get him to order the video and get himself arrested.


    The real Russian website, the “Blue Orchids” site, used these categories; “Russian Flowers,” “Girls,” and “Man and Boy”, the police sting site used “Snipe” and “Necros Pedo”, that’s one way to tell them apart. The films under the “Necros Pedo” category, the only ones claimed to be snuff films, were “Thief’s Punishment 1”, and “Thief’s Punishment 2”, filmed by Victor Razumov in 1999. These depict the very real abuse and suffering of a 15 year old boy. They are not classic fake snuff were actors fake “the acts” in them.

    They just aren’t snuff films. The boy doesn’t die;
    “In February 2001, the Moscow City Police identified the 15-year-old boy in the “Thief’s Punishment” series and brought him to Moscow for questioning. The boy identified Victor Razumov as the man who raped and abused him in the videos. Based on the boy’s testimony, Razumov was arrested for forcible sexual assault. Razumov is currently awaiting trial…” –

    “Fake Web site traps child porn suspects in Italy
    Italian authorities have charged almost 1,500 people in an Internet child pornography sting that could lead to one of the biggest trials in the country’s history.
    Suspects were charged after being lured to a fake child pornography Web site, police said Saturday.
    For between $400 and $6,000 US, browsers were told they could order videos or computer discs showing children in explicit sexual acts.
    The Web site also claimed to offer gruesome images of youngsters being raped and then tortured to death”

    The fake police sting site is the one offering “gruesome images of youngsters being raped and then tortured to death”

    and here

    https://edition.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/europe/italy/10/28/rome.porn/

    “The huge number of people were trapped in a complex investigation which involved the authorities setting up a fake paedophile Internet website.
    The site, set up with the help of the world’s biggest software company, Microsoft, was called “amantideibambini” (“loversofchildren”).
    In Italy, packages ordered on the Internet were intercepted when they arrived by mail and were repacked. They were then delivered to the addresses by undercover police officers disguised as postal workers and carrying hidden cameras”.

    That was the first installment of Sex, Lies and Manipulation a review of “Eye of the Chickenhawk” by Simon Dovey. “Stay tuned”, there are many more installments to come.

  • It’s About Winning

    Cases: John Wayne Gacy, Dean Corll, John Norman

    Promotion of revised and false sub-narratives. Summary; that John Wayne Gacy (JWG) and Dean Corll “belonged to” “a larger network of pornographers and sex traffickers” and “were associated with” a large nationwide sex trafficking ring run by John Norman.

    What are people saying about this, what specific claims are being made? I chose a short video on Youtube for a random sampling, because it has multiple people expressing a range of ideas; “John Wayne Gacy’s connection to sex trafficker John Norman”. You needn’t watch it if you don’t wish to, I’ll quote from the speakers, here.

    Karen Conti : (repeating things she claims JWG said to her) – there may have been a snuff film operation, that some of these young men and boys were being killed and videotaped, and the videos being sold on “the black market”. JWG didn’t say who was involved. In her own words; “there was probably a black market for that kind of stuff…back then”.

    JWG speaking; (previously recorded interview) “Philip Paske was involved with John Norman, and Norman was running ‘boys for hire’. They were making snuff films with young boys” (from another segment not in this video) “They ought to look through Norman’s confiscated films to see if they identify any [of JWG] victims”.

    What is being left out?

    1) JWG was in police custody, December of 1978.

    2) the first video cameras compatible with video cassette recorders came on the American market in 1979* prior to that, video cameras came paired with reel to reel recorders (portapaks). During the time when Gacy’s victims were being raped, tortured, murdered and slaughtered, there were no video cassette cameras. Young men and boys were NOT being killed and videotaped, by Paske-Norman or by anyone else, during the years that Gacy was killing boys and young men – because the technological means to do this did not exist at that time.

    3) similarly, there were technological obstacles to making pornographic movies with the popular Super 8mm home movie cameras. These cameras recorded frame images onto a film strip encased in a cassette. Developing that film strip was not something that anyone could do “at home”, it required a proper film lab and expertise. Sending your Super 8 cassettes to Kodak labs for developing and hoping their lab technicians wouldn’t notice criminal images on it, was so obviously stupid that no one would risk it. Not even John Norman. That may be why there’s no evidence of any “confiscated John Norman” films. He just didn’t make his own pornographic films. Norman was quite adept as a photographer, he could develop photo film in a closet if necessary, like thousands of other American amateur photographers of all ages were doing. That’s the way he created nude or pornographic images of boys, as photos, not films. The fact that JWG apparently didn’t know this, suggests that he didn’t really know much about Norman. Gacy’s attempt to shift blame for murdered boys and men buried under his floorboards; “those boys were making snuff films and burying the bodies in my house!”, has practical realities problems.

    4) “I’m going out to make a snuff film! See you, with the video/film, in a couple hours”, if it was really that simple, Gacy surely would have done it himself! It sounds like JWG was the one lusting to make snuff porn. His sister says she found packets of pornographic pictures taped to the underneath of a dresser drawer. In her brief look through, she saw they depicted JWG in a threesome with other men. “In talking with Marty Zelinski, who was an employee and family photographer for John Gacy, he was asked to photograph pornography by Gacy and turned it down. In Terry Sullivan’s hand-written case notes, they show that Gacy asked several living victims if they’d like to appear in male pornography”**

    But why would Paske, and/or Norman, WANT to make snuff porn? They weren’t like Gacy. Gacy murdered young men and boys. Paske’s criminal record for assaults shows he could be violent, but he never murdered anyone, he was only the lookout in the robbery where someone was stabbed to death, he wasn’t the killer. Norman never murdered anyone. Gacy abducted people and held them captive with restraints; “Gacy chloroformed him [Jeff Rignall] and drove him to his house, where his arms and head were restrained in a pillory device affixed to the ceiling and his feet locked into another device”, there’s no evidence that any of Norman’s male hustlers were abduction victims, nor that he ever held them captive. Gacy sexually tortured his victims, he delighted in causing pain and seeing them suffer. John Norman’s extensive criminal convictions record doesn’t include acts of rape or sadism.

    If John Wayne Gacy “belonged to a nationwide sex trafficking ring run by John Norman”, what would that mean?

    1. It can’t just mean meeting Phil Paske, giving him some work, and having a beer with him a few times in Gacy’s house. Norman’s passion at that time was his Delta Project. Wouldn’t belonging to Norman’s ring mean joining Delta? Becoming a Delta Dorm Don? Taking in a cadet or two? No evidence for any of that, though. Norman liked to give his sponsors frequent ‘updates’ on Delta. There’s a video where you can see his folksy-newsy style. He crows about Phil Paske and how pleased he is to have him as an “executive assistant”. No mention of John, no “John WG has come on board, I’m sure he will prove an asset”, or anything. Tracy Ullman observed that pedophiles had ways of communicating even if they never met face to face. That’s true, and the newsletters perhaps most important of all. Were any copies of “The John Norman Newsletter” found in Gacy’s home? Copies of Hermes Journal? Better Life Monthly? Broadstreet Journal? No? I don’t see much belonging going on.

    What is the false narrative underlying all of this, this and the rewrites of the Corll case going on in tandem?

    It’s a false narrative in which the Serial Killers and butchers of boys, ala JWG and Dean Corll, are fully and openly accepted and embraced by the entire boy-lover/pederast underground, as their Brothers. Because all of them are really clones of Corrl, or Gacy. Perpetually lusting to torture and murder boys, and especially, to generate and view torture photos and snuff films. So they are all too happy, the pornographers and the boy hustler pimps, the BL newsletter and journal publishers and all their subscribers, to help a Brother out. To sell the serial slayers, boy sex slaves, knowing they will be tortured and murdered. To keep their secrets, and help hide the evidence when necessary.

    Thankfully, however, it is a false narrative, it was never the reality. Dean Corll could never have been buddies with Roy Ames, not if Ames knew the truth about him. And JWG could never have been buddies with John Norman, not if Norman knew what Gacy had done.

    If there had ever been a Congress of the self-professed boy-lover pederasts, all the subscribers to all the BL newsletters, and John Norman got up on stage and declared; “My friends! Welcome our new Brother Dean from Houston. He likes to torture and murder boys!” There would be a riot. If they didn’t lynch him right there, many were surely drop the dime on him to police as fast as they could.

    Because, boy-lover pederasts develop deep-seated delusional rationalizations about their relationship with the boys in their lives. They need to genuinely believe that their relationships with boys are beneficial to the boys, that they are making their lives better, giving them everything they want and need, at the least making them happy. These rationalizations protect them from full conscious awareness, that they are in reality harming the boys. Not physically, not many open boy-beaters in their ranks. But the sexual exploitation is harming them, the adult “boyfriends” are betraying their innocent trust, and the love they profess for the boys is ultimately a manipulation that will turn to poison as they mature. And when the wheels eventually come off the delusional perception of themselves, and they can no longer lie to themselves, it’s not uncommon for them to self-destruct. “OMG! I’m really a monster!”

    Having someone openly confess their desire to harm boys, while professing to be one of them, would be too confronting for them. They would never stand for it. “That’s not who we are! You’re not one of us, you’re a monster”. There’s not a smidgen of understanding about boy-lover psychology evident, in the false narrative rewrite of historic cases currently being evangelized in multiple formats; podcasts, books, documentaries, etc., despite involvement by the illustrious Dr. Ramsland. And I think I may know why.

    Tracy Ullman said; “When myself, Alison True and Bill Dorsch started working to unearth details behind the John Wayne Gacy case, I had recently been widowed and was working two jobs while raising three kids”, “For years, all three of us were called “conspiracy nuts”. Our ideas were refuted. We were sworn at and had phones hung up on us. We were roundly and publicly criticized by people who had a PR advantage..”

    It’s not about uncovering and documenting the facts about historic crime cases. It’s about “winning”, and the way you win is by developing a PR advantage over the people who had ‘oppressed’ you in the past, and flooding public perception about those cases with your personal narrative about them – the story that you want to be true, about them. It’s about kicking sand in their faces, shouting; “I told you that I had as much right to play in this sandbox as you, and now that I’m 10 feet tall, I’m going to push you out and make sure that no one will ever plays with you again”
