The Diary of
JACK THE RIPPER
Is the most engrossing book, and even more so,
the DVD that covers the investigation and recreates
the scenes in the book - and both can be gotten at Amazon.com.

Now-the 'downside'

After the furious fight to prove the diary was real,
and all these specialists in dating the ink and paper,
and all the heated argument with the experts NOW thinking
it looked to be genuine---
The books owner admits it was a fake, then denys it saying
he was threatened into admitting fraud, then saying it was
faked again....who can say?

IT IS NOT
unheard of for folks like
those who conduct Ripper tours and have built HUGE works
on their own theories (published) to bring
powers to bear to obscure what could be the truth.

Ripperology IS big $$ buisness.

But the damage is now done:
If James Maybrick was, in fact,
The Ripper - he's been lost deep to
the shadows of doubt now.

But Why Do We Seek Jack?

Let's face it, he was an utter sick bastard,
and serial killer extreme. I thinks it's the fogs of
time as well as the fogs of Whitechapel that
have somewhat romanticized him and kindled our interest.

That's why I laugh at the fuss made
over that Oliver Stone film-
Natural Born Killers

It got people all twisted up in their undies
because it showed the killers as getting glam'd
up in the press and public.

And the same protesters would sit down and
get all enthralled at this DVD above, so where's the diff?

So, that having been said and
without further ado, we bid
thee good-night James/Jack/???
