There's no place to escape to. This is the last time on the left
Canopolis and started
What I did like is I saw that picture of Beyonce now that she's pregnant with twins. Oh my goodness. I have the same body as her
Yeah, she does look a little Polish right now
All right, are we good to go Marcus? We're good to go
All right, welcome to the show for what I am Ben Kissel staring at Marcus Park's the other one. He's over in Los Angeles
Let me out
Are they holding a captive over there?
No, no, no, no, man. They're trapped in here with me my neighbor
I think has been having some sort of like war against me because of the way I record this podcast inside of the second bedroom in our
Apartment and it does sound like what Natalie's described is that it's a monster screaming at himself, right?
Inside of a small tiny room that I imagine he hears every word of yeah
I'm sure very thin walls in those apartments. So in his sort of weak LA fight against me
I hear him turn up his television. Oh like at night
Can't be that fucking easy no way I'm literally fueled by the power of Satan himself. Yeah
Well, you know gas the whole family
I'll go pull a line and then they'll have to go run that screaming out of there absolutely and you know
It's really escalating if they start putting hummus on your doorknob. That's the typical Los Angeles revenge
All right. Well speaking of I guess revenge to some degree. Let's go on to Jack the Ripper part for the suspects
My goodness, there's a lot of people who could have done it
Oh, it could have been anyone, but apparently it was not the fat guy from nuns on a road
You know, that's ridiculous. Did you know he's Hagrid from Harry Potter? Yes, and apparently he was also in from hell
So it all kind of works out
There are countless possibilities as to who their real identity of Jack the Ripper is
Or it could be a lady Jill the Ripper. Oh, we talked about that today because that's a whole other book
Intersectional intersectional. That's good. It's good. I'm glad we're open. We're inclusive here
I do though. I am so happy to to upload this information out of my head
And into the show. I am so pleased that we're at part four of Jack the Ripper the suspects
Let's start with let's get him in this fucker to the wall
Well, this is how they got the Central Park five arrested. Okay, let's let's take it easy a little bit. Let's look at some evidence
We're gonna start with one of the more far out theories
We're gonna start with the royal conspiracy
Now there's been many royal conspiracies and the fact that most of
The various sires of the royal family in the UK are
Visibly mentally handicapped. Absolutely. There's obviously been several conspiracies just to begin with just to keep the basic secret
That fucking Prince Abby can't tie his own shoes, but he'll certainly suck his own dick
Yeah, I mean that was the whole thing with Prince William and Prince Harry
Everyone loved them so much because they were the first Royals born with their feet going the right direction
And the new one, what's his name not Prince Harry? Who's the guy that's gonna be king? I don't know
We don't know. We don't know the Royals. Good Lord. No, that's what
It'll sit the ones with Mary to the fucking version of Katie Holmes. That's William. That's William. That's William
He's getting ugly. Yes. He looks like his fucking father because he's getting up though. His head is spreading
He's getting the buck teeth. His teeth are colliding and absolutely
So keep in mind what the royal family looks like right now and imagine them ten times uglier
Because Prince Charles was probably fairly attractive back in the day, but they the Jack the Ripper might have very well looked like him now
He might have so Joseph Sickert son of the famous painter Walter Sickert who was also a suspect
Claimed in the early 70s that the entire Jack the Ripper affair was a conspiracy
Perpetrated by the English royalty to cover up the birth of an illegitimate child fathered by Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward known to his friends as Eddie
You know, we're a bee I've also heard a bee which is good
You're gonna see because a bee or a bee was known as the slow child in the royal family
Yes, and that when when Eddie was born the doctor just said oh, no
It seems as if we'll have to create a serial killer to get the attention of our deformed son
Yeah, Eddie was rumored to be at the very least
mildly mentally challenged
He had an unusually long and thin neck and he hid that by wearing long starched collars
Which earned him the nickname?
collars and cuffs I
Tell you one thing mother. I don't mind then calling me collars and cuffs because it's certainly better than spaghetti neck
Can you pick your pick your head up son? Oh, I wish I could but it seemed to be my spine as as weak as my neck
There's players bring me some sort of stick that we can tape this back of me because I am simply soup with shoes
The non-stop British royal family inbreeding they deserve every deformed child they get it looks like the tech is done
I've accidentally robbed my own forehead against my penis. I must be completely wrecked
You are indeed erect and you're not wearing any pants. Could you go upstairs? You're embarrassing the royal family?
Okay, could you please just stop me at the top and push me down like a slinky?
And that's where the slinky was formed and created
So the story goes that Eddie was sent to the painter Walter sicker
Who was a close friend of the royal family so sicker could take him under his wing and keep an eye on the boy?
Presumably keeping an eye on him had to do with the fact that Eddie was a notorious bisexual
Can you imagine being sexually accosted by this dude?
You can't say no to the royal family. So if you're a guy, give it up show your baskets
Show your baskets and snakes. You're gonna arm it ready for the bit of the licking
You're gonna kill me yeah
So secret lived in the East End and Eddie while on one of his John's met and fell in love with a Catholic shop
Girl named Annie crook. She was soon pregnant as Eddie probably didn't think to pull out
The two were secretly married and moved in together
Eddie being a little slow for some reason didn't think that his mother Queen Victoria would notice that her son was now living with
The Catholic wife and child in the East End and as the royalty was none too popular at the time a scandal of this magnitude might have brought on
Revolution mother see mother. I couldn't possibly be a homosexual because I'm making love to this prostitute. Isn't it wonderful?
I'm a daddy. I'm a daddy like daddy was
Yes, you are any crook to be fair was not a prostitute
She was just a shop girl who worked on it to edit tobacco shop
But now this is a prostitute there goes my lands right away turning from a lands to a rope it does
Oh, that's unfortunate. So the Queen asked her Prime Minister the marquee of Salisbury
To take care of the problem the marquee of Salisbury
I just picture her covered in brown gravy that we don't quite know what it what it
What the hell is inside of it? What makes it disgusting?
So Salisbury organized a raid on Prince Eddie's love nest on Cleveland Street and captured Annie crook
They then enlisted the help of the Queen's physician
Sir William Goh who attempted to erase the poor girl's memory a process which allegedly drove her insane
And this is where it would have been really helpful to have the men in black Will Smith and the white guy show up with one of their magic pens
But also we have a little bit of there is historical contents
Context in US history if you look at the MK ultra programs as they did do attempts to erase people's memories
And they destroyed their brains using you know the psychological
You know basically filling up with uppers and then bringing them down and then keeping them up all night
You can fracture a person's memory really well
But this is also this is where we're starting to get into weird territory about the Masons and who dr. Gull really was
Also dr. Gull the lobotomy was first starting to be played around with over in Sweden in
1888 so it's possible that Gull may have taken a page from their book and done a little bit of a knock-knock on her frontal cortex
Well, absolutely the old carpenter's trick
I don't think that the people who got lobotomies would consider it playing around
Something about it just when you're jamming a nail up someone's skull like their Jesus's palm on a cross
So this is supposed to be a game. This is fun. This is like a funny game. This is fun
I don't really consider the back of my head a fucking net. No
Strangely enough you just built a new memory of horror actually I can remember more things now than ever
But this whole story is really well put together in Alan Moore's from hell
Yeah, which is if you look at it. It's got in the back of from hell, which I'm in the middle of rooting
I'm right now again. It's fucking fantastic. It's got it's tremendous. It's absolutely the most tremendous
I cannot do this. Um, I
It's got a glossary about a hundred page glossary in the back that basically this whole story was pieced together from a book
Called Steven Knight's I believe is called Jack the right Jack the Ripper the final solution
It's like a really horrific conclusion the final solution
So William Gull came in Lord Salisbury came in they got any crook
But who they didn't catch was Alice the actual child that started this whole mess at the time of the raid Alice was in the care of
Mary Kelly who in this version of the story was an orphan rescued from the poor house by the artist Walter
Sickard and was at the time serving as nanny to Eddie and Annie's child
And after the police had come and gone
Mary left the child at a convent and returned to Whitechapel where she fell into the old cycle of drinking prostitution
Once more the good times. Yeah
There were just I just feel like
There are a lot of babies slept at convents. Yeah back in the day. Oh, yeah newspapers just thrown there on the steps
But as we know, Mary Kelly had some loose lips when she was in her cups and
That's
That is a double entendre
And she spoke more than once about the royal conspiracy that she had inadvertently been a part of and there were three women in
Particular who were listening to those stories night after night
Mary Nichols Elizabeth Stride and Annie Chapman three of the rippers eventual victims
And it just so happened that these women owed money to some local street tuffs
Now the idea is is that if it's true that they all knew each other and hung out the concept was is that they were gonna
They're gonna make this plan, right?
They believe that the reason why these people were starting to get murdered the uptick of murder that was happening
Whitechapel was because of these street gangs and that they started believing within the community of prostitutes
That they were killing people who owed the money that they were deciding to like basically were clearing everybody's deaths by murdering you
Well, I mean it had some truth to it because Emma Smith and this the Emma Smith part. This is actually a matter of records the Emma Smith
Who kicked off the whole Whitechapel murders the 11 murders that we know as the Whitechapel murders?
She was beaten to death by three street tuffs
Who were trying to extract money from her and this story is actually quite cute if you think of the street tuffs as cartoon
Rottweilers and pugs you see that is how you always make it cute
That is how you make it cute. What kind of dog plays the prostitute?
Oh, I'm all teased.
Cocker spaniel. Oh my goodness. I guess they got to live up to their name
So this group of Whitechapel prostitutes
They owed a debt to somebody who said that they owed the money pretty much paying protection
So they figured the best way to pay their debt was to blackmail Queen Victoria
And to giving them hush money to prevent them from blabbing to the press about an illegitimate Catholic royal baby
That easy just that easy
And then from hell the idea is that they talked to sicker as sort of their proxy
Yeah, because sicker was helping Prince Ebi who was walking around like a fucking human slinky and
Helping him try to be a normal guy sort of like in the movie house guest
Yeah, no, it wasn't long before Prime Minister Salisbury caught wind of the plot
And so he called on Sir William Gull who had done such a smashing job on Annie Crook to once again take care of the problem
Gull decided the best way to do this was not just a simple series of murders or even just
Disappearances that were carried out quietly
He decided to use this prostitute hunt as an excuse to perform a gigantic Masonic Ritual that would be known the world over
It's fucking me it would be killer if it's true would be an awesome fucking really dark horrible ritual
But it would really work, right? Yeah, and if you look at from hell, you said there's there's some weird connections, right?
Why in the fuck would they have used Sir Gull because at the time he was not actually Queen Victoria's doctor
He was one of the Royal doctors that was around so what they say is the part of the Masonic twist here
Was the fact that he was a Mason that was chosen by several people with the police to be the dude
Who got the job and that according to from hell
The doctor Gull then went ahead and decided against everybody's wishes to turn it into a Masonic ritual
Because the Queen didn't want to actually be connected to anything so bloody and disgusting
But Gull was like now's my time as is as what happens with anybody who becomes the Masonic
Surgeon to the Queen or it could be that it wasn't Sir William Gull
Who's I who had the idea to make it a huge Masonic ritual? It could be that he was
Ordered to make it a huge Masonic ritual by none other than Lord Randolph Churchill father of Winston Churchill
Well, there's no way that that's not true
That's 100% true sir Gull sounds like the kind of guy who freezes soup so we can lick it
It also just sounds like another character that could have possibly been voiced by John Candy. Oh, absolutely
Now Stephen Knight who wrote Jack the Ripper the final solution said about the Masonic angle if
Masonic supremacy appears in jeopardy
It is reestablished by a show of strength by crimes of violence perpetrated to demonstrate the continuing power of free
Masons for the benefit of brothers abroad crimes of violence would have been committed to
Reestablished Masonic authority in the eyes of Masons everywhere
See the Masons were a part of the establishment and the establishment as we said earlier was somewhat in trouble at the time
Or at the very least was in a precarious position and the murders of these women would show the entire world
That the Masons were still in charge. I think if they could just look into the future a little bit
They would change the term final solution
It just no that book was written in like 1985
Probably could have he probably should have thought about yeah, so the comparison there isn't so good
It's very interesting because it's also kind of like the Sopranos
It's like the mob the idea is that you come in and you show everybody what that you really mean business
And we'll kill these five prostitutes which in the end
It's a really weird show of strength because they should have just killed a bunch of police officers
If you really want to do it just kill a bunch of police officers
Yeah, but the problem was that so many of the police officers the people in the upper echelons of the police department were free
Masons right and did circle have a love affair with his therapist. I
Don't think he talked about his feelings. Oh, okay. I don't know
I don't think he kissed his wife very often. I don't want to think about a British thing
That's a British thing where they don't touch. Well, yeah
They don't hug her I always remember that story our friend of ours told the story about how she dated him
Yeah, a guy from the UK for a little while and the big thing is that every time he came he'd go sorry
Well, I guess that's fine. They don't have any lips
Which makes it difficult to kiss it's more of a teeth thing and that's uncomfortable
Now some say that sir William Gaul was taking his orders as I said from none other than Lord Randolph Churchill
Although the Freemasons didn't I Randolph was ever a member
Secret maintains that not only was he a member. He was also the Magister Magistral Roll Room
You shitty Gandalf
Sounds like ya dumpy Gandalf
No Lord Randolph like oh so many of our suspects suffered from syphilis and
And naturally blame prostitutes for his condition. You were going to hear the word syphilis more than you ever thought or wanted
So every time you hear the word syphilis
You know smack your co-worker in the face
You could do that or be thankful you don't have syphilis or if you do have syphilis remember that you have it
Remember just remember and because Randolph was syphilitic
He was also impotent and so his wife began to step out on him this instilled in him a hatred of women
And so covering up the royal conspiracy in the most brutal way possible was the perfect outlet for Randolph's twisted desire for revenge
So this is all boner related stuff, huh? I mean most things are bone. All right
Let's most things in history. Yeah all of history is boner related
And if you look at that what from hell and what Alan Moore talks about a lot is that these rituals a lot of the times
We're talking about
Restraintening the power of men over the female energy of the moon-based religions that used to control this area of the UK
Right, okay, so there's a lot of hate against women specifically
I mean as always, but if this was a very concentrated time, okay?
So right now so the theory is they wanted to cover up having a disabled child and they want to cover up this guy not being able
To have a baby not at all not well no no prostitute's child. No it was not a prostitute at all
They're not all prostitutes. Absolutely not they are not all prostitutes
Any crook was a shop girl who worked in a tobacco shop who had an affair with Prince Edward
She was a Catholic Eddie at was a Protestant
It would have been a huge scandal for a member of the Protestant royalty to marry and have a child with a Catholic
Woman so the Queen got Lord Salisbury to cover up the entire incident. Okay, that's where we are
Lord Cubes steak came down when he said we've got to wipe this out even though
Technically a royal marriage can be annulled if the Queen said I didn't say that you could get married to that person
Yeah, so she could have just ended the whole thing wait writing a piece of paper
But it said she said kill these prostitutes right or Lord to meet said let's go and kill all these
Right, so let's go or it was Sir Randolph Churchill. We don't know
So let's go through some of the Masonic links
Catherine Edo's the fourth victim was found in mitre square the mitre and the square are tools of the stone mason
And are emblems of free masonry
She was also the recipient of facial mutilations in the form of upside down triangles
Which could be an echo of the compass on the masonic logo you with me?
Yeah, or he was just trying to make a really gross-looking clown face. Yeah, I was gonna say the world's first juggalo
Then there's leather apron while the killer did not wear a leather apron
It sure saw was reported in the press quite a bit that he did and is it a coincidence that masons wear aprons as well?
This could have been a rumor pushed by the Freemasons to signify to other members what was really going on. Nice
Then
There's the message the Jews are the men that will not be blamed for nothing
Which was found written on a building right above a bloody piece of apron belonging to Catherine Edo's right after her murder
This is a possible reference to the three Jews
Spelled J U W E S in masonic lore those three Jews or jubella jubello and jubilu
Did they three masons who murdered their grandmaster hire him a booth during the building of Solomon's temple?
You said you look like you look like you have questions Benjamin. No, I just there's
There first of all your whatever question you ask you first educate yourself
Yeah, no, it's just the names. I'll start with the religion that they were part of yes
And also this would be the first time in recorded masonic history that someone decided to be hip and called them the Jews
On all in one go. No one else had ever called them the Jews. It would just seem like some guy at some point
It's like calling somebody like it's basically saying like lit
It's like saying like yeti. He made it cool
To be like the Jews are the ones that people in these three, but no one in recorded history ever said that also
I found an alternative theory about the apron in the bucket
This guy wrote in the essay in the essay book jack the ripper the mammoth book of jack the ripper and this essay
Hold on. I'm trying to find him the author
He who who blames a fisherman named carl feigenbaum trevor marriott
He says that was common practice for prostitutes to shit in aprons and leave them everywhere
Oh, the old dukey surprise
Carl why why yeah, no, you can't just say that without saying why he just said it
Well, I mean, I think that that sounds very that's a fun thing to do back then
He said they couldn't get to toilets. So they would shit in fabric in their own clothes
They would cut off pieces of clothes and shitted them because they said that the the piece of apron was covered in blood and shit
Yeah, right, maybe she was on her fucking period and then she perioded in chat
Into an apron and then they just left it on the street. Yeah, but why was she carrying that around with her? Well, why wouldn't you?
memories
Think about it. Just the world's saddest runaway. Think about it. Just think about it. You're in dukey in blood
Don't you want a sandwich to take with you? No. No, I have a bag full of dukey and blood
I will be fine out here on my own
Well, there's a further connection to jubello jubello and jubilu
their punishment after they killed hyrum abeff
Was to be mule mutilated in much the same way the jack the rippers victims were by having their bodies ripped open
And their entrails thrown over their shoulders
Four of the five ripper victims have their throats cut from left to right in accordance with the masonic entered apprentice penal sign
Also, you're supposed to mind blowing a dude getting into the Freemasons and that's not even a joke
You're supposed to subjugate yourself to the master by getting on your knees in front of them
And a part of it is that they're supposed to be nude under the apron. That is not that is not fake
Wait, and literally you're wait. Hold on. It's a symbolic fileting of the people above you
Yeah, you got to go through that whole thing and then at the end you got to fake blow the guy
Yeah, do you have to make like a noise like
If you're a good fucking mason if you want to be a magistrarium, then yeah
But you don't actually do it
I don't know. I guess it depends on the style. Yeah, it depends on the style of the lord
Magistrarium strange final task, but
Well, those four victims that have their throats cut from left to right that also echoed the legend of the four crowned martyrs
Which is an important part of masonic mythology, but you might be asking if it echoed the four crowned martyrs
Why were there five victims?
One was a suicide
Ask the question marcus answer it
Well, unfortunately for kathryn eddows
The fifth was a mistake. Oh, if you'll remember the night kathryn eddows died
She used the alias mary kelly when she was arrested
So gull alerted by his connections in the police department that the ringleader of the royal plot had been found
He decided to finish the whole thing in one night and give kathryn the full masonic treatment thinking he was sending the biggest message of all
Which is why kathryn eddows
Despite not being a part of the plot that the hypothesis that steven. I put forward says right
That's why she got all of the masonic symbols and whatnot. Well, that you got to choose your alias very well
That's why if I ever get arrested it'll be like i'm james woods
And uh, everyone will treat treat me with immense respect and i am leonardo jacaprio. There's no way i'm not
But when these people finally did catch up with mary
She would get it worse than all of the others combined
Which was more of a message to the people of whitechapel than it was
To the freemasons anybody who might have known anything about the plot they would look at all of the women that were murdered
They would see the extreme cruelty
That mary kelly went through and they would keep their mouths shut
Oh, yeah, I wouldn't say anything remotely close to something that mary kelly said if that was the outcome
Yeah, no there is a uh, there's a ton other masonic tie-in that I think is really interesting
But this is mostly it comes from from hell and also it it's posited as a as a real occult finding within the streets of london
Or is the architecture of nicolas hawksmore now, our nicolas hawksmore was a royal architect
That was assigned to build something like I think it was 50 churches, but he ended up building
12 uh, and they were all within line with ease what they say is that if you plot them
Along certain maps right if you do it and you put when you mix that with the victims and where they were placed
Around the uk that they form a pentagram. They form a star now
I was looking at a map of it and it does loosely you can make it be a star
Yeah, if you're looking to make a ritual out of it, right and what he did was it
He was a mason that was technically he was developing these churches, but he snuck
Really intense pagan symbols into these churches like putting obelisks on top of a church
Instead of making it instead of like the traditional altar
He would make it look like a weird Greek circle the grotesque animals on the side of it very interesting
Uh, like off-center all of this has kind of to show clues that he's putting weird little like
Subversive messages into his churches now. There's an idea that sir gull
Used the positioning of the bodies in the pentagram alongside like the lay lines
That these churches in different little architectural bits made in order to what they say is give blood to the stones and create a gigantic
Power ritual which was again to subjugate the feminine spirit
Yeah in order to propagate the male power drive. Yeah sun driven subjugate
Subjugate the female spirit and to usher in the 20th century
Which was admittedly a time of intense violence a time of murder a time of war
Some could also say that this very same ritual could have been done to
Jambane Ramsey when she was murdered to usher in a new sacrificial age that we are in the middle of right now
Well, it's 9 11 get with the fucking program. I don't know why you're in your car
Pull over the pull your car over quit your job
Go to the uk and start getting some rocket launchers and take out these churches
You're gonna do that, huh?
Take out the churches. Yeah, well you mentioned that's how you mentioned from hell
Uh, did you know the fat guy from nuns in the run? He was actually in the movie from hell
And isn't that something yeah two days episode is brought to you by Casper mattresses

Now there is a tiny bit of truth here possibly maybe a tiny bit of truth
According to Nigel Calforn author of the mammoth book of killers at large
Annie crook really did live at 22 cleveland street where she gave birth to an illegitimate daughter
That did actually happen
This cleveland street address would have been quite handy for the bisexual prince eddie
As 19 cleveland street was a homosexual brothel at the center of the cleveland street scandal of 1889
Where it was discovered that the aristocracy was bugger and telegraph boys on the download
Oh, my listen. I'm trying to wear these fancy new platform shoes that my friend lightning gave me
But it seems to me my ankles can't support the weight of my legs
Could you pour me into a barrel and take me to the nearest boy?
Just roll him down the street, I guess
Yeah, actually there's some who say that prince eddie himself was the ripper driven mad by a hatred of women and again
Siphalus, I hate you. I hate you and how perfect you look on your corset
My breasts just I've got bananas as what they've been called. They said my breasts are like bananas
And they're shameful. They're disgusting and mischievous. They look terrible when they're squeached
Oh
Good banana boob is always fun prince eddie. You're your edition of prince eddie really does sound like a villain in the invisibles
Yes, yes, I like the guy that's the assistant of sir miles. Oh, yeah, I've shot him again. I'm sorry
I'm sorry
You know, I just feel like society if they would have let him just be gay
He probably hates women because people forced him to be with them
Yeah, I mean, you probably could have been a great beard for somebody or no, it's not true
Oh, he loved it. Oh, this is bullshit. Oh, this is none of this is real. Oh, is that right?
None of this is real. I mean for example like eddie. He was 500 miles away at the time of two of the murders
But he had a long neck. So he's really only 50 feet away from anything
So you're saying he's like a rapist stretch arm strong. Yeah neck. Yeah, he just he always went into every room face first
Yeah, and the gul story that at william gul
He had suffered a debilitating stroke about a year before the murders began
Which would make it impossible for him to be the agile jack that we know the killer to be
I've been watching a lot of the wwe network and jim ross who is one of the best commentators in history also suffered a stroke
He was back a year later. He looks like um that that I know that commentator
Do you ever see them up at christmas carol the ghost of christmas present in that has a flat plastic face with fucking gray lips
That's what he has
Well, I don't know
I think it'd be kind of fun to have half of your face droopy under and the other half normal because then you can be like two face
Yeah, but you can say good me bad me. Yeah, but I don't think imagine actually, you know what that is very
That's a very useful way of thinking about it because william gul was probably about the same age as a jim ross
When jim ross had this actually
Gull was probably about 20 years older than jim ross was when he had the stroke. So try to imagine uh jim ross now
Killing five prostitutes and then running away
That's what you were gonna say very very easy. I thought you were gonna say jim ross watching the ripper kill mary kelly
You're like, oh, that's a slobber knocker
Oh, honestly, but there's truth to the fact that well
That's the idea is that he also had help with his driver
The edit coach driver that was with him and possibly propped him up where it was like bring me closer to the guts
And then she would just like move his leg back and forth and help his hands switch back and forth like that
Do it like that. Oh, there's the kidney. What a wonderful surprise
I you know, it's sometimes I open up these prosies and i'm just so surprised and not filled with candy
So we had like a kato or a morgan freeman from driving miss daisy type
No, we also know that while annie and alice crook did exist
Eddie is absolutely not the father of alex crook as he was hundreds of miles away when the baby
Was conceived. We know that from birth records. Did morry povich weigh in
You are not the father
That's absolutely lovely because I was extremely scared of the fact that I could make love to a man long enough
That he would have a child
Strange
But speaking of that baby alice cook grew up quietly in the convent where mary kelly had allegedly
Dropped her off alice ended up marrying the painter walter sickert
Who gave birth to joseph sickert and it just so happens that joseph sickert was the source of almost all of this
Much like jeff mudgett who bullshitted his way through claiming his ancestor hh holmes was actually jack the ripper
Which is also not true. Interesting. No way
No way. There's no way. He just needed money
And he had no skills and nothing to offer society. And so he threw his fucking family under the bus
That's what i'm thinking. It's such a strange thing to be like. No, I guarantee you my grandfather was a serial killer
I'm not gonna. Why would I make that up? Of course. I mean, I will be paid to say this now
the other thing is though, but his
walter sickert did a very interesting thing as a painter is that he painted these really uh
Kind of thoughtful pieces about prostitutes in the white chapel area
That's where this these kind of stories came from is that he had made friends
In in the in that neighborhood and because he would use prostitutes as subjects, which is actually pretty common
But he would do these weird sort of things where their faces would be all mashed up because I guess I don't know what the term is
There's an artistic term that is like it's supposed to feel like a thing and not be a thing like it's not portraiture
Impressionism
Yes, that's exactly it and that the face would the face would be all messed up
And so the they there are a lot of modern
Ripperologists that go on to say the reason why he does this to the faces is because it's it's symbolic of what the ripper did
And he knew who the ripper was chunky painting
That's kind of what it is also ripperologist. Yes. Love that turn
Now created by collin wilson who wrote the poltergeist book is one of my favorite fucking
Uh, uh favorite occult books of all time. Yeah, well collin wilson also wrote the book on the black monk of pontifract
Collin wilson is one of the greatest cult writers of the 20th century. Very cool. Yeah, he's a fantastic writer
So the huge ripperologist, which makes him an unbearable nerd
Now the closest anyone of the time came to any
Suspect at all comes from an actual document known now as the mcnaughton memo
Sir melville mcnaughton was the former chief of scotland yard cid and in a private handwritten memo melville
Outlined three suspects that for years have been the subjects of speculation. The first is montague. John drew it
So listen
I was looking up. So where are the the the this is like a famous piece of uh of evidence in the jack the ripper lore
Right, this idea of this memoranda that he wrote naming these three possible possible suspects
He wrote it in response to the fact. He was defending a man named thomas cut bush, right?
Who was your named after your great-grandfather who did what for a profession?
He's just
It was like technically a very bad name for a gardener
Yes, um, but thomas cut bush was being arranged for stabbing women in the butt
And they were trying to pin the jack the ripper crimes on him and he says no no no no
He's not these are the three people. We think it might be he just likes to stab butts
You know that is a strange phenomenon. It happened in new york city about three years ago. There was a random butt slash
You around as well. Yeah, that's strange. I remember that
So montague john drew it the first of the three suspects
He was a london lawyer whom mcnaughton said was suspected of the crimes by his own family
saying that he was privy to quote private information that
mcnaughton did not disclose in the memo super private
Everything was very private now
This is like the weird x thing in every one of the riprologist suspect algebra
That is the thing that's hard to describe because they keep saying well
If these cops and certain members and certain investigators had private information
They didn't publish it
So we're just gonna bank on the fact that that's the proof is in that cloud of gray
The proof that we need is in that term private information and that you can then use that to basically turn anybody into a suspect
So this is an upstanding member of society as well
Well, really the only thing linking montague to the murders was the fact that he committed suicide soon after the mary kelly
Murder by jumping into the tens river with stones in his pockets to weigh him down
Now it was said that
Montague suffered from quote sexual insanity
But the reality is that montague was most likely just gay and was being blackmailed at work because of it
And for some reason his family thought it was better that he was remembered as jack the ripper rather than just some lawyer who happened to be gay
It's really sad because he was a teacher and a lawyer which you have you have to be very smart
Yeah to be both and and strong to carry around all those stones in your pockets
It's a good core workout good for your thighs and your glutes
Yeah, now the next man in the memo is michael oestrog described by mcnaughton as quote a mad russian doctor a convict an
unquestionably a
homicidal maniac
Oestrog was not a doctor and no evidence connects him to the murders
He was just a terrible person hanging around whitechapel at the time
But most people were yeah
I mean, but there were some who were really bad the bad the worst the worst ones which is just like that's because as a base
Everybody's rough
You just go from either gross to bad to potential serial killer to actual serial killer
Well, you get the feeling the grossest ones were probably the happiest they were in heaven
They were in their own version of mortville, you know from desperate living
Yeah, as far as being just a terrible person in uh, whitechapel goes the same goes for erin kosminski
A polish jew employed in london as a hairdresser
He was allegedly driven insane by quote solitary vices, which was victorian code for jargon off way too much
They all sound like characters lil mac has to knock out and punch out
They all sound like people that would just have a unique boxing style
Now kosminski is often lumped in with david cohen another jewish man who ended up in an insane asylum just like kosminski did
However, it is probable that cohen is not this guy's name as cohen was just the name that asylum workers gave to jewish people
When they couldn't spell their last name and couldn't be bothered to just ask them how they spelled it
Yes, there's so many people that they talk about how like their whole fucking histories were wiped out because people
Were just too lazy to learn how to spell polish names. It's like me. My name's a brow ski
It's easy when I say the name's a brow ski so often I get the uh, that's quite a name
And I'm just being like it's fucking really easy
It's it's spelled like it sounds and that's racism and that's my new thing man. I'm not white. You're a polish. You're polish
I'm not white. All right. Who are these guys? I'm standing with the kosminski's
The cohen's that were falsely blamed by martin fido
Martin fido who wrote a whole book about blaming these jewish people and your last name is slang for a dog
Well, I think that that's just so I'm so happy. You're a social justice warrior for the polish
Yes, we need to stand up and protect the recipe for ice
It's only the recipe. Yeah, it is that is a tricky one
Uh, I mean, I'm from wisconsin. It's skis all over the place. Uh, it's a brow ski zolkowskis
That's that's a very common name, but I think it is difficult for a lot of people to understand
Well, fido thinks that cohen was actually a whitechapel bootmaker named Nathan
Uh, come in ski. Hmm another victim of syphilis
Both come in ski and kosminski were committed and the murder stopped afterward
Which is really the only thing linking either one of these guys to the murder
So the mcnaughton memo all of these uh all three guys in mcnaughton memo. It's paper thin stuff
They're all very easily ripped apart. Okay
Also the guy the head of the cid after this guy anderson also said the same thing
He blamed the polish jew and he said that the killer ended up in an asylum and there are a lot of people that use that
One statement that he made as the basis for all of this is the idea
They end up so people a lot of times start in the asylum records like poor martin fido who said like my author
My my boss could not afford a research assistant
So I had to go to the uk myself and go through all of these dusty ass fucking like asylum
Um fucking records from 150 years ago. Oh, that's fun though
You get to be like nicolas cage and national treasure and you get to go
I miss going into a library and looking at micro fish. You still can well you can but what's the point?
Um, you know what?
This is you don't miss it. No, I don't know. Well, what's the point? You could go do it?
You've never even looked at micro fish. You were blind drunk through every class you ever took. Yeah, but you can still look at micro fish
You can do that in any sort of mindset
This story or this, uh, this seems most plausible of a theory for me because they're all polish
And I think we have to think about that all they gotta do is to put on their dress backwards and tell them they're running away
It's like all of that sir. It's all you. It's very easy to fool a polish person. You're telling me you're running away
But you I can tell you're coming towards me. All right, but I take you word for it
But it's very uh, it's very uh, it's strange because also it's about the the idea of polish
Was also a broad term for anybody that was of eastern european descent
So they're even looking they're trying to specify polish people
But they actually meant that to be anybody austrian that because they were incredibly racist and lazy. Yeah
Well, I mean racism against polish people in england persist to this day
That was a huge part of brexit was all of keeping all of the polish immigrants out of england
So this this stuff, uh, yeah, it's nothing new that's going on here. Absolutely
Now there are literally hundreds of other suspects in the jack the ripper case outside of just those three
And it would take just as many episodes to cover all of them as we spent just covering the murders
So in the interest of time here are just a few of our favorites. Ooh, there's dr. Thomas cream
That's interesting dr. Cream. That's how i'm gonna start calling myself. Yeah, like right before I go dr. Cream
Dr. Tommy cream poisoned for london prostitutes in 1891 as he stood on the gallows for those crimes. He supposedly yelled
I am jack the
But he swung before he could finish the last sentence. Who knows what he was gonna say. Oh my goodness
I am jack the stripper
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the stage jack the stripper
And him just taking his wagging his dick out. Oh, yeah
Chippendale indeed next is severin
Entom Niovic Klosowski
Another another polish gentleman. He was a barber surgeon who lived in whitechapel in 1888
guilty
Anybody's got a hyphens. Yeah, it's like we're called multi hyphenates because we're right director director of that kind of shit
But that's the kind of hyphenate that will kill a prostitute and look for its uterus. Absolutely. Oh a barber surgeon
No, no they barber surgeons were all over the place for centuries barber surgeons were people who did minor surgeries
They did bloodletting bloodletting
But they would also cut your hair shave your beard or give you an enema if needed
So you can go to the barber and get your anal cavity completely flushed out and come out with like a mohawk
Yeah, or a bowl cut
Yeah, that's just how it was in those days. There's very versatile uh people one-stop shopping. Yeah
So this guy
Severin he was arrested seven years after the jack the ripper murders for poisoning three consecutive common law wives
And when he was caught he said
So you've caught jack the ripper at least
Or have you?
I don't know actually. I don't know
I should actually put a question mark on the end of this. So you've caught jack the ripper. I hope so
Because all the women are very afraid
And they won't spread them
They won't spread him as much. I'm sure they wouldn't know. I mean you can't kill three of your wives
No, not get away with one back then but no way then there's francis thompson a british poet an opium addict
Who lived on the streets of london between 1885 and 1888 and he was
Often heard to brag about owning a leather apron
That's not an accomplishment. No, it's not an opium
Uh heroin for all intents and purposes. You can't kill somebody on heroin. You can't even kill yourself. Look at Kurt Cobain
He was murdered
He was murdered. He was murdered. So in 1888 francis thompson wrote a poem called the ballad of the witch babies
With any luck, you'll think i'm Ozzy Osbourne
And that was about a quote lusty young knight who disemboweled women now that name the lusty young babies
That might be just a fiction. I'm not sure I found it in a weird novel about uh jack the ripper victims, uh, but
I like it. I mean, so you're like going around and be like, how do you just grab a baby? What's a good word for cute, uh innocent
lusty
lusty
Those babies always giving me them bedroom eyes asking for what I do
asking for what I do to them
That is not a description for a baby ever
No, one particularly interesting suspect is robert donston stevensson aka dr. Roslyn donston
He he changed his name to roslyn sounds like a bailiff
He allegedly committed the murders as a part of a massive black magic ritual
Donston had actually written an article at the time of the murders accusing another doctor named morgan davies of the murder
Allegedly using details the police had not released to the public
That's because he was sort of like an amateur jack the ripper investigator who kept showing up
He was just like an annoying dude who wanted to write articles
So what he would do is he would write these articles from the perspective of the killer
Where he would like do and it was very sensationalistic and he would put some things in there that were real
But a lot of it was like weird conjecture in order to sell newspapers
I also love that this is just razzing
You know a person that you don't like be like hey donny take a look at the paper today
I accused you of five murders
It would I did this is funny you get the joke
Now that guy don't send he later went into business with the editor of lucifer magazine
A woman named baroness vittoria cremers
Oh god, though. I bet honestly. I bet she was kind of hot. Oh, Victoria. She sounds beautiful. Victoria cremers. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, yeah friend tells you he's gonna set you up with his friend vittoria. You're gonna go on that day
Oh, absolutely. She's not a warrior cremers because back in the day the uh
Uh, sir names used to be named after what your family did
So basically the concept is like her name is essentially victoria jerkoffsya
Yeah, which also that does sound kind of polish know how to think about it vittoria squirt maiden. Yeah cremers
She's not a playboy hot, but she'd definitely be on the cover of cherry or some of the other more club
Oh club continental. Absolutely tough club to get into. Well, you have to have $3.99
So baroness vittoria
She found neckties caked with dried blood in donston's room and when she asked where he had gotten them
He said they had belonged to jack the ripper
And that was the first ever instance of flirting with a goth woman because that's how you do it
No other she said it's the first time you show the instance of like just showing a john Wayne gacy picture that made a woman wet for you
I think it worked. Now those ties eventually made their way to the man who was by far
The person who has mentioned the most on last podcast on the left
famed power bottom allister crowley. Oh my god. Yeah
God, he's just in everything. Yeah, he just shows up. He's just we're gonna pop
He also uh happened to have weird concerts with a man named elleron hubbard. Who's gonna show up too
Yes, and we will talk about elleron hubbard coming up here in the future. Yes, we will
Uh, crowley said that donston was without a doubt jack the ripper and that the ritual was donston's attempt to turn himself invisible
Did it work? Interesting. Can you imagine if it worked though?
It seemed like all you'd have to do is be uh become a poet
And then everyone will stop caring you exist. Absolutely. Why don't you just be an actor? That would also work
But the most famous of all ripper suspects though
He is not famous for being a suspect is charles latunga dodson
aka
Lewis carol author of alice in wonderland. No, this is my question. He is
He was a child molester, right? It's debatable latunga
Is that right? I don't want to everything is ruined
Uh, you know, isn't that what this show has taught us nothing is is good except for mr. Rogers
We know that nothing is good except for mr. Rogers and we know everyone's they've been trying to get dirt on mr
Rogers for decades
It's never happened. They've been trying to get dirt on them. They started that whole sniper rumor
They started all kinds of stuff
No one's ever got dirt on mr. Rogers and they never will because he's the only pure human soul to have ever existed
Although I will say this about mr. Rogers a bit negative. His mother did make all of his uh all of his cardigans
Uh, she didn't want to do it though. Uh, he actually forced his mother to work. He forced her at gunpoint
She took a gun up her vagina. Oh
No, no, no, no, no
That is a mother's love. That is a mother's love for her son
I mean she was chained to the sewing machine and was forced to work, but that's okay
now
Lewis carol author of alice in wonderland as we all know it was claimed in the book jack the ripper
light-hearted friend
That carol confessed to the murder in a series of anagrams
Found in a children's primer version of alice in wonderland called nursery alice
Here's the original
So she wandered away through the wood carrying the ugly little thing with her and a great job
It was to keep hold of it it wriggled about so
But at last she found out that the proper way to keep it tight was to hold itself foot
And by its right ear
Hmm rearranged. This is what it reads
She wriggled about so but at last
Dorsion and bane found a way to keep hold of the fat little whore
I got a tight hold of her and slid her throat left ear to right her hoe
It was tough wet disgusting too so weary of it. They threw up jack the ripper
And away you go
That is wild and this guy wrote alice in wonderland
Yeah, that guy wrote alice in wonderland. But before you read too much into that
Listen to what can be done with the first three sentences of richard wallis's jack the ripper light-hearted friend
This is the first three sentences of that book. It says
This is my story of jack the ripper the man behind britain's worst unsolved murders
It is a story that points to the unlikeliest of suspects a man who wrote children's stories
That man is charles dodson better known as lewis carroll author of such beloved books as alice in wonderland
Now three anagram enthusiasts
Rearranged those three sentences to say this
The truth is this I richard wallis stabbed and killed a muted nicole brown and cold blood
Severing her throat with my thrusty shiv strokes
I set up orenthal james simpson who is utterly innocent of this murder ps
I also wrote shakespeare sonnets and a lot of francis bacon's works, too
So he's a plagiarist
That is horrible. Now the lesson is that anagrams are pretty fucking cool. Yeah anagrams are fun
What that is the nerd piece of shit isolationist message we're sending today anagrams can be fun
Anagrams can be fun, but you're just rearranging a series. I mean, there's really not that meant you the the options are endless
Yeah, that's fun. Can say any that is that's what the I love anagrams. Yeah, I have never seen such autistic fun before in my life
Yeah, and anagram you could make that spell ran a gam
Or a whole series of different kinds of things
Anagram could be anagram. Yeah, it could be
Nagram sometimes I like to read words backwards, too like marcus is
Sarkar
Sarkam Sarkam Sarkram Sarkram Sarkram sounds like a god
Ben is neb
Ben is neb
All right. Well that concludes jack the ripper part four the suspects part one
That's right. So technically this will be a five parter only a two parter on the suspects
Yeah, it's gonna be like harry potter and the deathly halos how that was two movies
This is going to be like a yeah part four is two episodes because this episode has been all of the ridiculous suspects
This has been all the people that definitely did not do it
I had nothing to do with it the next episode
We're going to cover two guys who we actually believe are very good candidates for jack the ripper
The reasonable suspects is what we'll call it and you know what it comes down to it is that I want the I want this series to
Be as complicated as the research. Absolutely. It's taken. I have literally read three books about jack the ripper
I've also the entire mammoth book of jack the ripper. I'm reading from hell. I've watched hours of documentary footage
None of it is is fixed
None of it is solved. You've never looked more polish in your life

And now she's gonna I hope y'all like jack the ripper
Well, yep, absolutely. Um, I cannot wait like all good horror movies. This one has another ending coming
Yeah, which is definitely feels like saw fight. Yeah, that's where we're at. Uh, hopefully none of us get cancer here
Um, you mentioned harry potter. I hagret. Hey grit. Uh, he was also in from hell
