Ed Gein-Psychopathic cannibal
There have however been extreme cases of real life sexualized cannibalism, such as those of the serial killers Albert Fish, Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer, Sascha Spesiwtsew, Fritz Haarmann ("the Butcher of Hannover"), Andrei Chikatilo, "The Soviet Hannibal Lecter" and Armin Meiwes.
Even though cannibalism can be seen as one of the most ghastly and horrific acts created by mankind, the question that needs to be addressed is why has man continued to perform such dreaded acts? Would you become so disgusted, after understanding the reasons why people turn to cannibalism, that you would become more cautious in trusting your own neighbour, relative or friend? This article is intended to make you realize the alarming and hidden truths that face mankind and in some way can be looked upon as an entire threat towards the human race if some day we were all faced with the dreaded fear of a collapsing economy, resulting in a world wide shortage of food.
Cannibalism is one of the most misunderstood subjects and is hardly ever discussed. The more you understand the reasons why certain individuals cause such brutal acts - the more you will be able to understand the truth about the fragility of the human mind, especially if exposed to economic poverty and severe food shortages. Also, the more you become aware as to the reasons why certain government authorities have control over the masses, the more fragile human nature has really become. Training solders to become de-sensitized to kill during ghastly war times as well as government cover up cases to secretly not expose the many thousands who had turned to cannibalism to survive during the world depression. Without a doubt, if there was a severe shortage of food, the masses would eventually turn to cannibalism as a form of survival and this fact alone has been hidden from the masses to keep us all ignorant so that we all continue to remain in our comfortable lifestyles. One major reason to this cover-up is that starvation is one of the major causes of cannibalism in any given society. If there was nothing else to eat, it has been proven that your neighbour, close friend or family member would resort to cannibalism. It has been known in many parts of the world that cannibalism exists amongst those where there is a shortage of food, especially, when there is no other ways of survival other than 'man eating man'. Above all, one needs to question the fact whether certain individuals also turn to cannibalism because there are many mineral deficiencies in modern day food today which causes that individual to subconsciously look else where to overcome this nutrient deficiency. It has been noted that children will bite their nails including the skin around the nails, peel and eat paint from the walls to obtain certain minerals they are not getting from their highly processed diet. There is enough evidence to show that in many cases of nutrient deficiencies, the working of the body’s own defence mechanism will eat its own organs to obtain certain missing nutrients. That is why some individuals are shocked to discover that they have been functioning for many years with only one kidney, even though they were previously born with two. In fact, there is clear evidence of the body eating its own parts in order to survive longer. Another example where the individual’s body attacks and eats its own organs can be seen in the case of cancer. This individual’s body is being eaten up by its own body because of severe nutritional deficiencies. However, this is completely stoppable once there is a replacement of complete vitamins and minerals feeding the cells. Such mineral deficiencies are responsible for many illnesses, ranging from all forms of physical disorders to ones physiological makeup and mental state of mind. However, the problem of such mineral and vitamin deficiency can not be ignored and one needs to ask the question whether such deficiencies can also turn an individual into a psychopathic cannibal in order to gain the missing minerals that the body has for many years been craving for. Most of these individuals who lack in such mineral deficiencies can become aggressive, violent offenders. They have no other outlet to obtain stimulation, especially when their brain is lacking in many minerals to create a natural flow of chemicals, resulting in free flowing stimulation. If they are not fed properly, not only will the body eat its own organs but also the individual’s mind will resort to doing the most abhorrent acts in order to continue to feed the mind of this missing chemical stimulus. All psychopaths are stimulation-seekers because their own minds lack certain chemicals to provide this natural free flowing chemical. Such individuals have gradually become insane because over a period of time, the chemical fluids surrounding the brain are gradually eaten by other chemical deficient cells within the brain in an attempt to heighten the individual’s physiological level of stimulus. Most psychopathic cannibals are mainly mineral deficient but at the same time, there are other factors that have contributed towards them performing such abhorrent acts. It has been noted that they are mainly driven by such ghastly acts of cannibalism mainly to prolong their sexual urges of heightened stimulation. Most psychopathic cannibals suffer from blunted emotions, therefore they will resort to such abhorrent acts to not only obtain heightened stimulation but most of all to prolong such stimulation. Most psychopathic murderers also lack activation in the prefrontal cortex which is one of the reasons they are unable to control their violent impulses.
A common behavioural feature of the psychopathic individual is that normal living is not enough so they crave excitement and stimulation. One of the defining characteristics is that they lack a conscience. They don't feel bad when they have done something wrong. However, there are some psychopaths who do have a conscience and are aware of what they have done is wrong. Most of us will feel bad when we do wrong and we'd know it, we'd feel guilty. Psychopaths simply lack that emotion. Psychopaths therefore have a completely different emotional make-up from normal people. They don't worry about being counterattacked by the person they are attacking - they have no fear. They tend to have low physiological arousal, slow brain wave, low heart rate, low sweat rate and this can be measured in clinical tests. It has been found that schoolchildren with low physiological arousal at age fifteen are more likely to become criminal, violent offenders by age thirty. These children with low physiological arousal were much more likely to become aggressive and anti-social at age twelve. So we certainly have an established link between stimulation seeking and later anti-social and aggressive behaviour. But the question that needs to be addressed is that why does such stimulation-seeking lead some psychopaths to cannibalism. Not all psychopaths become cannibals. Are we all a test case for future experiments so that the parasitical elite can control us by creating a materialistic and fearful robotic race? The other question that needs to be clarified is the fact that if government authorities have been studying these disturbing cases for many years why have they not introduced special support and guidance programmes into our schools to prevent this behaviour from continuing. Such behaviour can be stoppable at an early age and corrected. Unfortunately, this behaviour has continued because government officials want to create fear into the masses in order to have control over them.
It is very difficult to understand why people eat other people's flesh. But we do know that, at one level, breaking boundaries in life, rule-breaking, is linked to low physiological arousal, which predisposes to stimulation-seeking. If you view cannibalism as a form of stimulation-seeking, as doing something bizarre, strange and unusual for a kick, then there could be a link here between low physiological arousal, stimulation-seeking and these bizarre acts of eating flesh. But why do some individuals grow up to become psychopaths? Again, we are dealing with the question of nature versus nurture. Are they products of their environment? Have they been moulded by bad parenting or broken homes. A variety of biological factors is involved in causing and driving psychopathic behaviour, factors that often work alongside socio-environmental factors to mould and drive the violent offender. It has been proven that birth complications and maternal rejection is one of reasons. Raine and his researchers conducted a study of over 4,300 live male births in Copenhagen, Denmark, in a one-year period. They measured complications at the time of the birth, such as forceps delivery, breach birth, placental abnormalities, pre-clampsia and anoxia (lack of oxygen to the foetus, which can cause brain damage to the baby). During the first year of the babies' lives, they interviewed the mothers to determine whether or not there was any maternal rejection of the child. This was measured in three ways: firstly, if the mother did not want the pregnancy; secondly, if she had made an attempt to abort the foetus but failed; and thirdly, if the child was institutionalized for at least four months in its infant life, because this kind of detachment caused major disruption to the mother-infant bonding process, which has been shown to lead to psychopathic personalities later in life. Raine's researchers were collating a combination of biological measures - birth complications that lead to brain damage that go unrecognized, maternal rejection of the child, which can result in a lack of emotionality and impersonality. They followed up the babies until they were eighteen years old and found that the individuals with this combination of birth complications plus maternal rejection were the most likely people to become violent offenders in adult life.
Ladies and gentlemen, in this case you're going to hear about things you probably didn't know existed in the real world. In this case, you're going to hear about sexual conduct before death, during death and after death. Will you be so disgusted by that you won't be able to listen? This was how Jeffrey Dahmer's defence attorney began his opening speech in the trial of his notorious client.
Jeffrey Dahmer was born into a comfortable, middle-class family who lived in relative rural tranquillity in Ohio. At first glance, Dahmer's childhood was a happy one. But several events in his childhood may have proved significantly formative for the young boy's development. Brian Masters, who studied and wrote about the case at length, interviewed Dahmer as well as his father and stepmother. Masters had this to say about Dahmer's upbringing: His parents were attentive to him in their manner, but their manner was diluted. In his father's case it was diluted by two things. First of all he was a very busy man; he was hardly ever at home. He spent the week in another state working and came home at weekends. Secondly, he was also himself a withdrawn character, not a demonstrative, outgoing man but a quiet subdued, controlled man, not the sort of person who would throw his hands around his son and cuddle him. His mother was more demonstrative, but all her demonstrations have been reserved for herself. She had become a hypochondriac. She was always taking pills for everything all day long. She was always lying in bed during the afternoon and the morning, appearing quite dead to the world and in some bizarre way also appeared dead to her son. Therefore, his mother's bizarre behaviour of being unattentive towards her son and not being able to show him any form of proper nurturing other than taking sleeping pills and remaining motionless, may be one of the reasons Dahmer enjoyed having sex with his victims after death.
As Dahmer grew up, his parents' once-happy marriage started to crumble. This unhappy atmosphere at home simply forced Jeffrey Dahmer into his own private world, a world of fantasies that revolved around dissecting dead animals and playing with their bones. During his teenage years, alcohol began to play a major part in Dahmer's life. At the age of fourteen he was already drinking heavily, and alcohol would later be the agent that by passed his inhibitions and fuelled his aggressive sexual urges. It has also been proven that alcohol destroys many different minerals including all the B vitamins which have a detrimental effect on an individual’s emotional, mental and physiological make up. Alcohol and drug abuse is one of the major causes of violence in our youths today and is one of the main contributing causes of criminal behaviour. Over a period of time, continued use of such excessive alcohol consumption, will deplete the body and mind of vital minerals, causing many forms of physical and mental illnesses, in particular, cancer and psychosis.
When Jeffrey turned eighteen, his parents moved towards getting divorced. His father, Lionel moved out of the family home into a motel and when Joyce Dahmer moved away, taking Jeffrey's younger brother David with her, Jeffrey Dahmer was left alone in the house. It was shortly after this that Jeffrey Dahmer met and murdered the first of his seventeen victims, hitchhiker Steven Hicks, whom Dahmer had picked up near his parents' house in June 1978. Dahmer was just eighteen years old. He invited the young man back to his home and the two of them drank beer and smoked some marijuana together. But then things got out of hand. 'The guy wanted to leave' Dahmer told the police thirteen years later, 'and I didn't want him to'. Dahmer became angry and battered the hitchhiker to death with a barbell. The hitchhiker now lay limp and dead on the floor. Dahmer undressed the man, stroked his chest and masturbated over the corpse. The next day, overcome by fear and panic, he moved the corpse to the 'crawlspace' underneath the house and dismembered the body, putting the parts into three rubbish bags. At the same time he paused to slit open the belly - he wanted to examine the organs inside. After completing the dismemberment, he stuffed the rubbish bags down a drainage pipe at the back of the house, covering them with earth.
Dahmer's bizarre obsessions had now developed into murder, and he would never be able to return to normality afterwards. For the next nine years he desperately tried to fight his urges, but the battle was one he lost steadily. He had started drinking heavily while still in high school, but his alcohol problems became much worse. He enrolled at university but was thrown out shortly afterwards, partly because of his drinking. He enlisted in the army, serving for almost two years in Germany, but the army's regular supply of heavily subsidized alcohol again led to his being discharged early. The army did, however, train Dahmer as a medic for six months, and this training ironically gave him skills that he would put to use when he started killing again. Eventually, he started going to church and reading the bible with his grandmother. Dahmer admired his grandmother's faith, one he wished he could share. He also felt guilty about his homosexual thoughts and fantasies. Both his father and grandmother were devout churchgoers - and for a while Jeffrey Dahmer truly believed that religion would lead him out of his obsessions.
After a while, however, his interest in religion started to wear off, and the old urges came back to Jeffrey Dahmer. He stole a mannequin from a department store and slept with it, imagining it was a real person. He even went to the local cemetery with the intention of digging up a corpse and taking it home. And then he began submitting to his homosexual desires. He started frequenting gay bathhouses in Milwaukee, where it was easy to meet and have sex with other men. But what Dahmer really desired was for the other man to keep still. H
