Would the Ear Monster
actually be a diabolical group?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Deputy Police Commissioner Giandomenico Pumpo
has oriented investigations also towards the possibility of satanic ritual crimes
Carla Garibaldi
According to a source close to Police Headquarters, after the Ear Monster’s latest murder, the victim a homeless man named Alessandro Cipolla, as we had written previously, it seems that the head of the Homicide Section of the Squadra Mobile, Dr. Giandomenico Pumpo, has turned the investigation in the direction of the small satanic and para satanic youth groups, as it is not unusual fort these cliques to attack victims who are alone and helpless, vagrants in particular, who can easily be assaulted at night while they are sleeping rough.
The phenomenon of Satanism is quite widespread in Italy and particularly in our city, although until now it did not seem to have grown beyond alarm limits: Turin, with Prague, Lyon, London and San Francisco, is one of the princial centers of the cult of Satanism.
As CASOC, Centro Anti Sette Occulte Cattolico 5 made known some timeago, there are three major types of diabolical sectarianism: youth acid Satanism, of which an unidentified group is suspected of the Cipolla murder, historic-traditional Satanism, which is made up of adults, and psycho-sects. CASOC has been led for three decades by the canon Vincenzo Scofiani Biancon, who also performs the task of exorcist at the Curia, but it was founded in 1965, and directed for about a decade by Father Giulio Colamont. At the end of 1970 he had been moved from that role, then becoming parish priest of San Taddeo, a parish he still leads today. The priest had been moved after he was attacked by three young satanist drug addicts in February of that year – hallucinogens are commonly used by youth acid sects. He had been hospitalized with serious injuries and in a state of shock. For many months he had remained psychologically exhausted and underwent neurological therapies.
Juvenile diabolical cult worship, unlike adult and traditional cult practices, spreads propaganda about itself. Its promotion is found first and foremost in the lyrics of songs by famous rock group. These songs are in free trade and some words, if listened to in reverse, sing the praises of the Devil with a subliminal effect on listeners. Worse still, there is music circulating secretly that expressly celebrates atrocities such as rape or even the gutting of children and the killing of Jews, nomads, immigrants and vagrants with gas or fire: the so-called Nazisatanism. For some time now, there are some6 sites on the internet, that wallow in the macabre and demonic salaciousness, and they are increasing. The people influenced by this kind of propaganda practice the teachings they receive in a naïve way, and are therefore of greater danger for the public. On those websites, reviews of literary and cinematographic works of horror and satanic music intermingle with exaltation of the practice of all kinds of wickedness, and consider the various crimes against indiviuals and property as something normal.
Young people are the first to be influenced, but there is no shortage of adults. All of them are attracted by the idea of exercising absolute freedom in transgressing ordinary morality: in reality sheer license is being touted and put into practice, while freedom always presupposes, as a counterpoint, the exercise of one’s duty towards others, an indispensable condition for lasting social coexistence, according to the classical ethical teaching which, in the West, has a biblical matrix.
The step from theoretical learning to implementation is not far, with the result that many Satanists, individuals or, more often, are people in small groups; and it is precisely these people, according to the Police and Carabinieri as well as CASOC, that are the most dangerous for the physical safety of citizens. Do it yourself Satanism is composed of many more people than the official figure says, and there are at least a few thousand elements in our country.
The AST, Anti Sect Team of Police Headquarters, had told the press some time ago that the practice of young Satanists normally follows a precise process. At the beginning, they just indulge in, so to speak, desecrations of graves and other macabre rites in isolated areas where they use human remains and latex sexual simulacra, and sprinkle poultry or sometimes human blood taken intravenously at the time, or that comes from blood bags stolen from blood banks.
The small deconsecrated Santissimo Crocefisso cemetery at number 28 in Via San Pietro in Vincoli in the Aurora Rossini district had been an habitual place for this kind of nefariousness until a couple of years after the attack on Father Colamonti, which took place in that particuar area. To combat things like this, the Municipality had even used it later as an arena for cultural events on summer evenings and the devil worshippers had moved to other places, in the woods around Turin. Acid Satanists quickly switch to more criminal practices, such as carnal violence, carried out even on minors, up to the not remote possibility of ritual killings. Satanic rites can reach horrific levels.
Classical adult Satanism, instead, is much less visible than acid youth satanism and is very well organized, both ideologically and, in particular, in the theological, indeed antitheological sense seeing that the Judeo-Christian God is the object of contempt and the Devil is worshipped as god, considered a martyr of freedom, muddied with wilfullness. This planned and traditional Satanism has a very ancient even pre-Christian origin. It was hounded, mostly from the Renaissance onwards, by both the Inquisition and Protestant tribunals, and unfortunately this hunting also ended with the persecution of many innocent people who had nothing to do with Devil worship.
Classical demonism, even if it does not show itself blatantly and no longer reaches the point of ritual killings of newborns and virgins as in the past, is nevertheless ideologically responsible, because of its terrible masters, for the modern crimes of the acid Satanists and, in general, is the demonistic form most opposed to social goodness, because it broadly fights any traditional moral and civil value with psychological force and ample economic means: its members are socially elevated in unsuspected environments, and constitute lobbies of real economic, political and artistic-cultural power. Many of the intellectuals among them are strongly critical, if not actually caustic, versus Christianity and, above all, against the Catholic Church, pretending to be atheists, but in reality, in their demonic upside-down way, they firnly believe in the supernatural.
This adult demonism is also elitist in terms of the number of members. In Italy, according to CASOC, it consists of just ten groups with a few dozen members each: a few hundred people in all. It is sure that there is one such conventicle in our city, which is among the oldest, again according to CASOC.
Finally, with regard to the third typology of the satanic groups, the psychoscects, according to both Police Headquarters and CASOC they include the largest number of followers, in our country a few hundred thousand, and represent a de facto Satanism that is practiced in the psychological and economic subjugation of the members to their leaders, even as far as slavery, starting with the systematic mandatory donation of their personal patrimony to the group, meaning, in essence, to its leaders. Psychosects, however, do not present external forms of demonic adoration so, like adult Satanists, even these people can arguably be suspected of the Ear Monster’s crimes: as long as, of course, that they are indeed ritual murders as the Deputy Police Commissioner suspects.
Moreover, while on one hand we hope that the new line of enquiry indicated by Dr Pumpo will lead to a rapid end to the evil affair, we must not overlook the fact that the previous victims were assaulted in their own homes.
The body of the fifth victim, again a female, had been found by the police a few days after her death, thanks to a complaint from a friend and colleague, who had become suspicious because the woman had not showed up at work and had not answered her phone calls. After obtaining authorization fron the magistrate to enter the house, the police had managed to get in by breaking down the door, closed with only half a turn, just like in the first three murders. The victim’s name was Mosca Scrofagnocca, a 58-year-old saleswoman in a maxi shop selling kitchen and bathroom accessories. Unmarried with no relatives, she lived alone, renting an old two-room apartment in Via Stampatori. The crime, according to the magistrate, must have taken place the day after the Cipolla murder. This corpse also showed the signs of a forceful knock to the head prior to the perforation of the cerebrum with an ice pick.
The day after the body was found, Vittorio had learned from Evaristo that counter-terrorism had kept an eye on Scrofagnocca in the 70s and 80s: there were notes about her at the DIGOS office at Police Headquarters, from which it appeared that Scrofagnocca’s revolutionary ideas ran in the family, her parents having been die-hard Stalinists in Togliatti’s Communist Party in the 1940s and 1950s, and had been known to Police Headquarters as habitual agitators and had occasionally bashed Christian Democrats bill-posters during the first election campaigns. The the two had unfortunately given their daughter the name of Mosca Stalina7 , although, after the tumultuous riots that began in '68 and then collapsed in the 80s, she had used just the name Mosca, which did not immediately recall the now defunct Soviet Union.
An intriguing detail had also emerged from the archives that could prove useful to the investigation into the Monster: the woman been a warehouse worker in the past in the same factory making shower doors where the second victim had also been employed, and more or less in the same years. This could make you think a little more attentively about the political lead, though not disregarding the leads of the demonic group and the psychopathic serial killer.
In the event that the murderer had been a serial killer, it was and interesting fact, according to criminologists and social psychologist counselors at Police Headquarters, that he had never contacted either the media or the police, unlike those serial killers who loved to grandstand with messages, challenging society, like the archetype of all serial killers, the infamous London perpetrator of at least five murders, carried out from 31 August to 8 November 1888. He had sent three letters to the press, presumed to be authentic, and in the first he had signed himself Jack the Ripper, as he would later be called in the newspapers and would go down in the annals of criminology, and in all three missives he had provided alleged clues ridiculing Scotland Yard.
In the case of the Ear Monster, the absence of postal, telephone or e-mail messages had led psychiatric experts to outline some features of his character, albeit with reservations: he, or she if it was a woman, probably suffered from a profound inferiority complex; moreover, he had to experience pleasure, both sadistic and self-damaging respectively, in looming covertly over Turin, scaring it with cruelty and, at the same time, denying himself the intimate satisfaction of revealing himself, at least a little, to the world.
For Deputy Commissioner Pumpo, on the contrary, the Monster's silence validated the idea of the demonic group that killed for ritualistic reasons and that had every interest in remaining in the shadows, like all the satanic communities.
For Commissioner Sordi, the hypothesis of a common killer was worth considering, because the fact that there had been more than one would have favored the perpetration of the murders, but it did not necessarily mean a lot of people and not necessarily a demonic environment. In his opinion it could have been, instead, one of the amateur cases that criminologists called magister-alumnus, meaning a pair of serial killers comprised of one person who conceived the murders and the way to implement them, and an apprentice pupil, the perpetrator or co-perpetrator.
At the time Vittorio considered all the conjectures important and, not being in favor of any of them, he waited for more relevant data.
