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”

“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”.
