Chapter 811 God of Beauty

Anti-intellectual behavior is a kind of behavior that is automatically generated without thinking. The burning of witches in the Middle Ages and German communism are all anti-intellectual behaviors.

It is an undercurrent flowing in social life, and it is often used by people. The leader and founder of the People’s Temple, Jim Jones, was a good young man with good character and learning at the beginning. He served in the local church and was enthusiastic about He helped the poor and opposed racial discrimination. In the American environment where racial discrimination was prevalent at that time, he was rejected.

In 1953, Jones began to serve as his own pastor, built his own church, publicized the teachings, and did many good deeds at the same time, such as setting up free dining halls, opening day nurseries, and opening clinics for the elderly, which made his reputation and influence growing. Loyal followers. It should be said that at the beginning, Jones and his group were considered a relatively active church group.

But then Jones began to claim to be the incarnation of God, and at most he had thousands of believers, and even the governor of California became his close friend out of vote considerations.

However, when the People's Temple was developing rapidly, many scandals about Jones came out, such as depriving believers of their property, forging miracles of healing believers, abusive lynching of believers, and female believers being violated by him. This made Jones feel pressured, and felt that the land of the United States was no longer suitable for his development, so he led about 1,000 believers to leave the United States in 1977 and migrated to Guyana in South America.

Jones promised his believers: Jones Town will be a paradise, and there will never be evil from the outside world. However, in fact, his believers live a life of isolation, poverty, imprisonment and surveillance there. Jones formed a private armed forces , strictly restricts the freedom of believers, and any behavior of believers must obtain his consent. In November 1978, a U.S. congressman named "Leo Ryan" was brought to court because of the murder of a former member of the People's Temple Church. Some people came to Jones Town to investigate. Although Jones had made arrangements to make the believers who Ryan and his party saw seemed to be living happily, some believers still boldly approached Ryan and others and asked to follow them. He returned to the United States, which annoyed Jones and sent armed members to hunt him down. As a result, five people including Leo Ryan were shot and some escaped.

Realizing that he was doomed, Jones coerced all the believers to perform a suicide ceremony. The believers had to drink strawberry juice mixed with cyanide and sedatives. A believer recorded the entire horrific process with a tape recorder: the voices included Jones' crazy speech, the cries of the believers, the singing of praise songs, the mother pleading for the child, etc., as the voices of the people became poisonous, their voices gradually weakened and finally fell into dead silence.

Doing good deeds is a common feature of good people, and Jones took advantage of this. Zodiac may also collect "believers" through the media, and the second "substitute" may be selected from many of his admirers.

Whether it's a taxi driver or a pregnant mother with a baby, it's not like the young couples they dated before.

Catherine Jones went to check her car after being rescued, and it was set on fire. In the twelfth letter of Zodiac, he admitted this incident, which was different from his behavior of issuing the notice before the murder.

It was not only the army that participated in the Vietnam War, but also the navy. His knowledge of semaphore and astronomy may have been learned in the army.

In Vietnam, he may have enjoyed the sense of superiority brought by that race, but when he returned to the United States, he found that the children in his own country were engaging in equal rights, allowing blacks and whites to enjoy equal rights.

Then there are the guys who date girls who are too effeminate and not manly at all. Zodiac was crueler to the women than to the men when it came to his victims, and both of the survivors were boys.

The army needs boys to fight, and it will be useful to save their lives later. He also wrote in the letter: "There is also a weird lady from the province who never shouts and a weird girl who never kisses. I think she can't escape. dropped."

What does it matter to him if the girl doesn't kiss? If she wanted to become a nun and never kiss a man for the rest of her life, would a secular man still kiss a nun?

As for the kind of "weird dress", with his straight man's aesthetics, he may not understand what bohemian style is. In addition to wearing exaggerated clothes with a lot of sequins and bright colors, girls in the 70s also wear bohemian style. Mia clothing. If you wear clothes that don't fit his aesthetics, you will be killed by him. Which woman would like to kiss him?

He participated in the Vietnam War, thinking that he would be worshiped like a hero, but he was not favored by women, because at that time, American hippies often held anti-war demonstrations. Their creed was: defeat all misfortunes and conflicts.

Doing so also triggered another conflict. The US government at the time advocated continuing the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was an unjust war, not only for the Vietnamese people, but also for the Americans. In 1970, the Ohio National Guard killed four students who participated in protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University. A school strike broke out, and hundreds of thousands of people poured into Washington to protest.

Zodiac may hope to restore order to that chaotic society in his own way. Like Jim Jones, he established a town composed of his followers in Vallijo, Mexico, and he is the king of the town.

The women should dress according to his preferences, and then wait for his happiness at any time, and happily say how happy they are.

Zodiac can't wait to torture those "slaves" at will after death, he wants to enjoy it while alive, but no one implements his delusion, no one wears those Zodiac badges, on the contrary, a Swiss watch company designed a brand with that logo watch.

Surely someone will buy it, Zodiac is beautiful, isn't it? But if someone nicknamed him "mad cow disease," no one would want to buy it.

The police will remind girls to worry about bad guys, but they will not take away the power of girls to wear skirts.

If you dress too revealingly, you will get yourself into trouble. Martina still dresses conservatively. In the eyes of the men in the small town, it is the same as wearing nothing. The price of freedom is caution. Being a brave daredevil is not something to be admired thing.

Venetian women also used to wear very revealing clothes. Men protested this, and women protested that it was their freedom to wear what they wanted.

They won in the end, and they can wear as much as they want, but the eyes of the men turned to the nuns in the monastery.

When everyone else likes to be conservative, a scantily dressed person attracts attention; when others are scantily dressed, a conservatively dressed person attracts attention.

Venetian women won the freedom to dress but lost the attention of men.

Sometimes men pay more attention to the winning or losing of the "game" than the love between men and women. When they look at women with a rational mind, even Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt, cannot conquer Octavian.

She conquered Caesar and Antony, and she was still beautiful because of proper maintenance, but Octavian would not let Antony give half of Rome as a gift to Cleopatra.

He was sober, just like John the Baptist who was unmoved when he watched Salome dance the dance of the seven veils, or like Tang Monk in Journey to the West who was not obsessed with beauty no matter what female fairies he faced.

The only time Tang Seng was moved was the king of the Daughter Kingdom. She was smart and beautiful. Tang Seng told her that if there was an afterlife...

Zodiac was crazy, he thought about bombing the attack but didn't.

A lunatic called a talk show to find lawyers for help. This may have inspired him. In the eighth letter, he wrote a letter to Melvin Bailey who had been waiting in front of the convenience store for a long time:

Dear Melvin, I'm Zodiac, I wish you a Merry Christmas.

The only thing I want you to do is ask you to help me. I couldn't call for help because something inside me was overpowering me, I found it uncontrollable, and I was afraid that I would lose control again and kill the ninth, or even the tenth. Please help me, I'm dying.

Now the kids are safe from being bombed. Because the pit needs to be dug very large, the detonating device still needs to do a lot of debugging to get it right. But if I don't kill for too long and I don't kill for a long time, I will completely lose control and detonate the bomb, please help me, I can't take it anymore.

He was indeed asking for help, and Melvin Bailey still expressed great enthusiasm for "Zodiak" asking for help. He issued a statement to Zodiac through the San Francisco Chronicle: "Since you have asked me for help, I promise to do my best to provide you with any assistance you need and want. If you only want to see me alone, then I will go alone. If you want me to bring in a priest or a psychiatrist, or a reporter to talk to, I'll do it. I'll do exactly what you ask. You say you're losing control and might kill again. Please don't make the situation worse, let me help you now."

But Zodiac did not respond further to Melvin's statement. Once upon a time, when Melvin was out on business and he was not at home, a phone call happened to hit his home. The caller claimed to be zodiac, and the person who answered the phone was Melvin's housekeeper. According to Melvin afterwards, Zodiac had a pleasant chat with his housekeeper at the time, and Zodiac had no news from him for three months.

After the Great Depression in the United States, Keynesianism penetrated into every corner of society during the transition of the government. At that time, social problems were serious, and the lack of education was serious in the decades after the economic crisis was resolved.

Intellectuals are hindered from ascending, and there are contradictions between intellectuals and existing authorities.

In the movie The Day After Tomorrow, no matter how much the hero warns the vice president, it's useless. Is the vice president a fool?

The vast majority of people will make the same choice as the vice president at the moment before the real disaster.

Global warming is a serious problem, but no one can survive without money. In terms of immediate interests and the interests of future generations, contemporary people have made their own choices—to enjoy themselves in time, and to think about future problems later. The most urgent task is to develop the economy.

People will wake up from the "American Dream" fabricated by advertisements, media, movies, and politicians only when the United States becomes no longer suitable for survival. But at that time, capitalism has exposed its claws and started to harvest human lives.

Pomona vaguely remembered that last year she wanted to remind people to pay attention to the Yellowstone volcano, which could erupt at any time, and that would be a disaster faced by all mankind, a crisis like that in 536 AD.

But that volcano may erupt the day after tomorrow, or it may be 100,000 years later. People are willing to gamble on that probability. After all, human beings only live for 100 years, and they give up so many benefits, such as degrees, houses, and decency, for an unreliable warning. How is this worthwhile?

Besides, who is she? Why listen to a warning from a nobody? Coupled with the fact that so many things happened later, she didn't bother to talk about it.

No one would listen to the warning of the unknown man. At first, no one took ZodiacII’s warning seriously, thinking it was a prank. It wasn’t until he started killing people according to the trailer that the police and the media took him seriously.

Zodiac was more fortunate to have met Paul Avely of the San Francisco Times, a former war correspondent in Vietnam who was also a licensed Private eye with gun. He is a standard American, bold and speculative, who is not afraid of anyone with a gun. He didn't put Zodiac's letter on the last few pages of the newspaper, next to the crossword puzzle, he put it on the front page.

While causing a sensation, he also found an excuse. He did this to avoid real people being hurt by it. What a great excuse, just like the United States announced that it joined the Vietnam War because it was hit by the Viet Cong fish, so it must not It is as above board as not to fight back.

What did they do in Vietnam?

Zodiac "trained" the killer the way a commander trains soldiers, and he felt no shame or guilt for killing four young men.

Children who are disobedient can be taught, but he feels that everything that is not good will be destroyed, so what is the standard for success? Take up arms and be a white supremacist invader?

Boys don't take up arms and kill like Rambo, and girls don't throw themselves into the arms of "heroes".

Pomona doesn't see a problem with wearing bohemian clothes or that girls who take vows to be nuns don't have a problem with not kissing guys.

Girls are going to become nuns, no one is in a relationship and marriage is none of her business, and dating a boy is a death threat.

As long as she wasn't dating Zodiac, she was damned in the eyes of that serial killer.

There is nothing wrong with men liking young women, being too young is a crime, female college students are between adults and minors, "the children are safe now", this child should be about 10 years old, immature, more likely to be raped manipulative.

But he knew it was wrong, he was resisting, ETT might be the abbreviation of "pedophile" in some foreign language.

"Are you interested in me because I look like I've been fifteen?" Pomona asked the ex-Death Eater, who was leaning against the head of the bed and smoking a cigarette, naked with the Dark Mark tattooed on his arm.

"No!" he said sullenly, "I haven't touched a student."

Pomona felt relieved when she thought of how hard he had beaten Ron and Harry, and how he kept his distance from the female students.

"You like older ones? Do you have an Oedipus complex?"

"I swear, sooner or later, I will burn the articles you read about perverts." He gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"I think I'm such a wicked witch, luring you, a virtuous man, into corruption." She smiled smugly. "That's what makes you interesting, Severus, you're a virtuous Dark wizard."

He looked up to the sky and sighed, as if he was questioning Zeus painted on the ceiling, he asked, "Why did you make her?"

She had thrown away all the paper that was a mess, and now she was more interested in this younger "lover".

As for Zodiac, she sort of understood why he felt lonely.
