UGLY WORLD 12 by DAVID L
TAMARIN
DOUBLE 0 SWANGO
Double 0 -- as in James Bond, 007, means a license to kill. Dr. Michael
Swango, medical doctor from hell, also had a license to kill -- a medical
license. He didn’t help put terminally ill patients to sleep. He was
a serial killer of woman, children,
 men,
the old, the dying, and anybody, all over the world, and his crimes were neatly
covered up by the medical establishment, which showed itself to be just like the
Roman Catholic Church in its willingness to go to any length to cover up for and
help out criminals and enable them to continue killing for decades. One
person speaking out could have saved so many lives. But the medical
establishment showed their true ugly colors in this awesome tale of poisoning,
murder, and obsession with violence and death.
 “Blind
Eye” by James B. Stewart is an incredible story of one of the most prolific
mass murderers in the history of the United States, who, despite plenty of
evidence, almost got away with his crimes, and was allowed to keep committing
them for years and years despite the fact that it was known throughout the
medical community that he was a serial killer. Swango was given a prison
term for a minor crime and was sentenced to serve only a few years, when
investigative reporter James B. Stewart, a Pulitzer Prize winner wrote "Blind
Eye," published in 1999. Due to the revelations in the book, Swango
was tried on murder charges and given a life sentence, despite the efforts of
the medical community, Swango was finally put away in 2000.
Why did the medical community support Swango? Because he is a doctor.
And as is in the case of priests and police, they are a self-governing group and
will go to any lengths to cover up the crimes of their colleagues. What happened
with Swango is eerily similar to what happened to thousands of priests.
When they were caught engaged in misconduct, they were transferred to an
unknowing community, with the glowing recommendation of former colleagues who
knew all the sordid details. Every time he was fired, every time he was
accused of misconduct, every time he went to prison for battery by poison, his
supervisors crushed any investigation into his crimes, wrote false
recommendations to other institutions in other states, who went on to hire him.
Eventually his reputation grew so infamous he moved across continents to Africa,
where he went hopping from country to country, until he was involved in a new
scandal and was fired.
 What
types of scandals was he involved in? An extremely high incidence of death
among his patients, with some estimating his death toll at the rather
conservative 60 murder victims, dozens on non-fatal poisoning victims, and he
even caused his wife to commit suicide with his constant lies, mistreatment, and
her realization that he was guilty, using her to appear normal. He was
seen many times giving patients injections -- even though it is protocol for
nurses, and not doctors, to administer injections, and many of those he injected
lapsed into paralysis and often death. His colleagues, wherever he went,
showed signs of arsenic poisoning.
Dr. Michael Swango was a morbid killer obsessed with violence and violent death.
He kept scrapbooks of newspaper articles on violent death, poisonings, car
accidents, and serial killers. He worked as an Emergency Medical
Technician -- the first person to arrive at the scene of an accident, and he
loved -- LOVED -- his job. He got a major adrenaline rush when
there was a particularly terrible accident. He loved the violence and
gore, and morbidly discussed it with his colleagues, many of whom were offended
by his callous bloodlust. He was cruel and rude to patients. Most
disturbingly, he described his favorite activity, the thing that got him the
most sexually aroused -- when a child would die in surgery, he would volunteer
to tell her grieving parents the bad news, which he did in a callous and
sadistic way, and he once stated that it gave him an erection to tell some dead
young girl’s parents that their child was dead -- something he often did with
the knowledge that he himself was responsible for the death.
He idealized accidents, and described his Ultimate Accident scenario. A
busload of kids smashes into a truck filled with fuel and there is a big
explosion and burning kids are thrown through the air, with their severed limbs,
and heads landing on a wire fence that ripped the body to pieces, resulting in a
massive wall of fiery dead and dying children. This was the ultimate
sexual fantasy for Swango.
At one point he had a job where he was responsible for the water supply of an
entire town, and people involved expressed their fear that he had planned to
poison the town.
 Time
to go off on a slight tangent, to discuss serial killer Carl Panzram, the
subject of a recent biographical film from director John Borowski. Panzram
too had mass death in his mind. One of his plans was to rob a bank and
finance flying a plane over Britain and dropping enough bombs on the country to
fuel a US-UK war that would kill millions. He too dreamed of poisoning the
water supply of an entire town, killing every last man, woman, and child in it.
Back to Swango. One of
the tragedies of the case was its use as a justification for the
media-inspires-violence point of view, as Swango was fascinated by several books
and films, and his fascination with these certain books and films was used in
the case built against him, and which eventually resulted in his receiving life
in prison. The various works of art that were blamed for Swango’s violent
fantasies borders on the ridiculous, as his favorite film (despite some news
reports that I read that contradicted this) was "Four Weddings and a Funeral"
with Hugh Grant, and his love of this film was used to prove that he was a
serial killer. This is extremely dangerous territory for the first
amendment. If such a film inspired or encouraged a mass murderer, then
there would be some justification in banning it to prevent it him from driving
others to kill. The fact that one of the works cited is a Hugh Grant
family comedy doesn’t stop the people from making this argument, and does not
allow them to see the stupidity of blaming "Four Weddings and A Funeral"
from causing anything other than the urge to take a nap.
After all, Swango was literally convicted by the media, in particular the
publication and bestselling success of the book “Blind Eye” brought his
case back to life when it seemed like a conviction would be impossible for
anything more serious than fraud. And part of the argument laid out in “Blind
Eye” is that proof of Swango’s guilt can be implied or even proven by his
ownership of certain books and his admiration for certain books and films.
And evidence of his possession of a particular book was used as a reason to find
him guilty of assault, and in fact was a key piece of evidence.
 Picture
Number 8 in the book is a photograph of evidence seized by the state in 1984
when his Illinois apartment was raided, and one of the items is “The Poor Man’s
James Bond” which has a skull and crossbones on the cover and contains recipes
for various poisons. It was found near handwritten poison recipes used by
Swango. Possession of the book was used in the argument against Swango.
What were Swango’s other crimes, according to book?
He loved "Pulp Fiction."
Unbelievable as it may seem, this was used as evidence to support the theory
that he is a serial killer and a psychopath. Swango asked a couple to
watch the film him, and “The film was exceedingly violent and bloody, with a
particularly intense scene of sadomasochistic torture. Within ten minutes, the
Lorimers were horrified and wanted to turn off the tape. But Swango was
fascinated, insisted on watching, and said afterward that he loved the film.”
The Lorimers were particularly offended because, as the author states, they
thought he was a Christian, and no Christian could enjoy such a film. But
look at the argument. Think about how "Pulp Fiction" starts.
Tim Roth and his girlfriend hold up a diner. This lasts several minutes
and cuts to the credits. This cuts to Samuel L Jackson having a prolonged
discussion with John Travolta. They talk about foot massages and Amsterdam
and Royales with Cheese and more. Then they break into the apartment of
some kids who stole some drugs and they confront the kids. One is quickly
shot, and then we have a heated intense scene of confrontation where Jackson
drinks the kids’ soda. Someone runs of the bathroom, firing a gun and
missing the two men completely. At this point, we are over 15 minutes into
the film. There has been one shooting, but it was quick and bloodless, and
probably happened more than 10 minutes into the film. So, based on the
first ten minutes of "Pulp Fiction," is it believable that these people
were so horrified that they would be begging Swango to turn the movie off?
Does enjoyment of this film constitute sociopathic behavior?
 His
next sin: he found the classic "Twelve Angry Men" to be brilliant, and he
was a fan of classic movies. "Twelve Angry Men" is the story of a
jury deliberating a murder charge, yet the movie has little violence. By simply
acknowledging the movie to be a brilliant film he somehow is indicating that he
is guilty of a whole series of crimes!
Finally, he loved "Four
Weddings and a Funeral," and somehow violence and death were a frequent
topic of discussion for Swango. Upon reading this, I began to actually
question his guilt. He was alleged to be macabre, because he enjoyed
mainstream films like "Pulp Fiction" and had one of the classics of
subversive writing.
 When
he lived in Africa and similar charges were leveled against him, his apartment
was searched, and authorities were stunned to find a copy of the anthology "HIGH
RISK: Aa Anthology of Forbidden Writings" that contains chapters by outsider
artists such as William S. Burroughs and Kathy Acker, and Karen Finley. I
am a proud owner of this book, and I am not ashamed to admit it. My
ownership of the book in no way indicates that I am prone to violence or
anti-social behavior, and I would assume most people who have read the book or
parts of it are not serial killers obsessed with violent carnage and poison.
The author redeems himself by exposing the corrupt “peer review” process by
which only doctors are considered fit to judge other doctors and an attitude of
fierce protection of all doctor crimes, and the desire to cover up the crimes,
and transfer the offender to somewhere new to start victimizing. In other
words, doctors, like pedophile priests and killer cops, can count on their
brethren to help them commit crimes, get away with crimes, and find new
locations to commit those crimes and new victims. Just as the entire
priesthood has had its image destroyed by the pedophilia scandal, hopefully this
book will make you aware that all doctors, in a sense, are guilty and part of
this corrupt system. They seek to make money, avoid blame, and avoid
lawsuits, as opposed to practicing medicine or helping people.
OK, that is it for this Ugly
World. I wanted to get something published so that I can get back on track
and start writing these on a more regular basis. But I’ll say a few last
things before this issue ends. John Borowski’s documentary on Carl Panzram
was an incredible documentary about this serial killer, and it is a shocking
film, because we learn the real violent abusers in society are the men who run
prisons and jails, not hoards of violent serial killers. Most of the
brutality in the documentary is pain suffered by Panzram, not inflicted by him
-- it is a compelling shocking documentary, and now, he is a few dollars away
from collecting his goal amount on his latest social marketing campaign -- to
raise money for what will surely be a fascinating documentary on serial killer
culture that will feature individuals like Joe Coleman -- so find his campaign
at:
http://www.indiegogo.com/skculture.
Newsbreak -- With days to go he has raised the requisite amount!
Here’s a first, I have some things I want to promote (hey, the column is free at
least!). If you go to my
AMAZON page, you will find several Kindle stories, please consider buying
one of the Kindle short stories!
http://www.amazon.com/David-L-Tamarin/e/B00A9HMXF4/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=sevecine-20
is my page. The story I want to promote the most is “What Happens in
The Attic” which deals with supernatural surreal war crimes and Obsessive
Compulsive murder behavior that is kept within a diseased family. PTSD,
the cyclical nature of violence, the scarring effects of war, horrible sexual
atrocities, and more, fuel this surreal nightmare available exclusively at
Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/What-Happens-Attic-ebook/dp/B00A7OKCK2/ref=la_B00A9HMXF4_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1361933965&sr=1-7.
Warning: it is very sick. Also check out the book Amazon kindle banned,
which is currently sold in censored but still sick version called “What Did
You Do?” The full story is called “What Did You Do To The Children?”
but they would not run it. Some day I hope to make available the uncut
version of the stories -- any publishers with some guts out there??
NUMBER 13 is coming very soon…
If you were offended by Number 12 and it’s bashing of the medical establishment,
get ready for my next diatribe as I trash that evil bitch known to many as
Sister Mother Teresa. But I’ll reveal the truth about this bitch who
belongs in hell.
