A Writer's Curse?
There is some overlap among the various pages of this website due to the fact that the disciplines overlap. Suicide is often seen in depression. Sigmund Freud, who is also on the False Prophets web page, committed suicide by a drug overdose in 1939 after years of writing books about his patients (The Rat Man, The Wolf Man, etc.). Harry Stack Sullivan wrote many books about psychotherapy before taking a drug overdose. Other writers included Ernest Hemmingway, Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, etc. Vincent Van Gogh was a great artist.

In 1888 bodies of women, mutilated, were found in the Whitechapel section of London. After this notes were written to the police signed "Jack the Ripper". Then a body was found in the Thames of a doctor who committed suicide. After this the murders and the notes stopped. Of course, the suicide could have been unrelated to the crimes, but nobody knows for sure. No killer was ever caught.

Shown here is Jack Kevorkian, who is in prison in Michigan for assisted suicide. Kevorkian helped people out of their misery. In this author's opinion, Kevorkian should be pardoned by President Bush. Bush will probably not do this because he is beholden to the religious Right. Opposition to assisted suicide comes from religious views. It is not clear to this author (Olson) why such religious views should govern the state. Religion and politics should not mix.

Shown here is Marilyn Monroe, the clipart coming from a Monroe website. This was not her real name, but rather a stage name. She supposedly died of suicide, but in reality she was murdered, and the murder was made to look like a suicide, as was also done in the case of Dorothy Kilgallen. It seems that Monroe was about to blow the whistle on unsavory connections between the CIA and the Mob. Her death was arranged by Sam "Momo" Giancana, who hired two assassins to do the job. One was called "Needles", but no needle was used. Rather a drug-laced suppository was used because it would not leave any needle marks. Noguchi, who did the autopsy, found no drugs in her stomach, but plenty in her blood.
