FEMALES CAN ALSO BE LETHAL
FEMALES CAN ALSO BE LETHAL

THE ASSASSINATION OF THE NORTH KOREAN LEADER’S HALF-BROTHER, KIM JONG NAM, IN MALASIA, BY POISONING, THIS WEEK, REMINDED ME OF MARY SURRATT AND “JACK THE RIPPER”, FOR SOME REASON.
WOMEN ARE AS CAPABLE AS MEN IN ASSASSINATING OR MURDERING SOMEONE; MAYBE, MORE CAPABLE THAN MEN ARE THEY, SINCE THEIR FEMALE SEX BEGUILES MALE INDIFFERENCE TO THEIR TACIT DANGER.
MARY SURRATT WAS A BOARDING HOUSE OWNER IN WASHINGTON, D.C. SHE WAS ALSO A CONFEDERATE SECRET SERVICE (CSA) AGENT FROM BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, THE VERY CITY THAT ABRAHAM LINCOLN AVOIDED IN 1861, WHEN COMING TO WASHINGTON VIA TRAIN, TO FIRST ASSUME THE PRESIDENCY. JOHN WILKES BOOTHE WAS HER LODGER. THESE FACTS ARE NOT GENERALLY KNOWN. I LEARNED THEM READING WILLIAM WELLS BROWN’S EXCELLENT, 1867 HISTORY OF BLACK TROOPS IN THE CIVIL WAR. HE SURMISES, FROM THESE SELDOM-MENTIONED-FACTS, AND OTHER EVIDENCE, THAT SHE WAS THE LEADER OF A CSA ASSASSINATION GANG THAT KILLED LINCOLN, AND ALMOST KILLED SECRETARY OF STATE, ABOLITIONIST, WILIAM SEWARD, ON THE SAME DATE, APRIL 15, 1865, AT THE SAME HOUR.
THUS, “JACK THE RIPPER,” OF LONDON, ENGLAND, MAY WELL HAVE BEEN A FEMALE, LIKE MARY SURRATT, AND LIKE THE KILERS OF KIM JONG UN’S, HALF-BROTHER, IN KUALA UMPAR, MALAYSIA’S AIRPORT.
