Yet again, there’s no evidence cited to support these claims. You can assert that mental health professionals are wrong; in fairness, that sort of thing went on at Carneal’s trial where prosecution and defense psychologists refuted one another. But if you cite no actual evidence, no one is under any obligation to believe your claims. As such, we are under no obligation to believe Walsh’s claims about chemical imbalances. The worst part of this is that if I were in agreement with claims that video games encourage this sort of behavior, I’d be infuriated that the point is so badly argued in this instance.
But the failure to cite or understand evidence isn’t confined to the sections of Walsh’s article with which we’ve already dealt. There’s still the matter of Clive Thompson of Wired Magazine. First, let me clear up some ambiguities. No, you did not miss a CNN special report detailing Thompson’s shooting spree on a school campus because such a thing never happened. As such, he’s not a case study in violence like the school shooters listed elsewhere in the article. Instead, an article he wrote for Wired is the object of Walsh and, by extension, LaRouche’s attacks. The section on Thompson opens thus:
“On Nov. 5, 2007, degenerate writer Clive Thompson supplied clinical evidence to support the charge by Lyndon LaRouche that, the intended end-game of computer games is to drive the player to suicide. In addition, he provided clinical evidence that it is an obvious intention of certain institutions to popularize this cult of death, in the United States and Western Europe.”
And what is the clinical evidence, you may ask? You can read the rest of Walsh’s article and how he quotes Thompson, or you can read Thompson’s article yourself. I suggest reading Thompson’s article, as he makes some very interesting points. Specifically, that he’s a very bad Halo 3 player and, as a result, he can only adopt suicide tactics that mimic the techniques of suicide bombers in order to ever get any score in the game at all.
“Oh great,” I can hear some of you muttering. “Now Clive has gone and done it. We’ll all be labeled as junior suicide bombers now. Thanks, Clive!” But hold on for a moment. That’s not all he says. He also says:
“I do not mean, of course, to trivialize the ghastly, horrific impact of real-life suicide bombing. Nor do I mean to gloss over the incredible complexity of the real-life personal, geopolitical and spiritual reasons why suicide bombers are willing to kill themselves. These are all impossibly more nuanced and perverse than what’s happening inside a trifling, low-stakes videogame.”
And, more tellingly:
“I’m an adult, with a job and wife and kid, so I get maybe an hour with Halo on a good day. I wind up sucking far, far more than most other Halo 3 players, and despite the best attempts of Xbox Live to match me up with similarly lame players, I usually wind up at the bottom of my group’s rankings — stumbling haplessly about while getting slaughtered over and over again.”
Hmmm, let’s see now. Thompson has never killed anyone. He has a job. He’s married. He has kids. He’s an adult. And he is, by his own admission, a crappy player of Halo 3 because he actually has (gasp!) a life outside of games. How does this provide clinical proof of video games promoting violence?
Return to the Adrenaline Vault on Friday to read the final installment in this three-part series.

Lyndon LaRouche must be a very important person in your life for you to write a three part series, constantly throwing his name around. Are you sure you’re not in love with him?
The cult has a new edict for members to not respond on the internet or blogs directly becuase it is turns into a horrific mess for the cult. To show everyone how delusional and demented the Bizarro world is, the cult has members attacking critics and exposers of this lunacy as being infatuated with Larouche! This is hilarious to see as cultists attack you for paying attention to a mad man who has reportedly spent 250 milion dollars of other people’s money to get the globe to accept him as their saviour.
Many of the elderly Larouche members have fled in disgust and what is left is a collection of college drop outs who have moved to what is now called “LaroucheTown” near Purcelville, outside of their former colony in Leesburg Virgina.
What makes this cult very dangerous is their history of violent actions against people they disagree with or ignore as in the case of something called “Operation Mop Up” where Laoruche took 1970 college drop outs and set them in psycho zeel to assault leftist groups who did not accept Larouche as their saviour. Jult look up ‘larouche and mop up” to find some more info.
The cult drives it members to an around the clock frenzy of a never ending apacolypse unless Larouche is placed in power before he passes away. To do this Cult Master laoruche has a never ending tale of impending doom and a world where Al Gore wished to kill billions of dark skinned people to implement a “New Dark Ages” by the Queen of England. There is much concern of the buildup of pure hate against public figures on under nourished and naive losers who are told by Larouche over and over that dying like Joan of Arc to save civilzation is the least that othey can do.
IN the case of Al Gore, the cult spent endless resources on producing hysterical screeds about how evil Al Gore is and how he must be stopped. The cult also has bragged on their internal communications about how easy it was to circumvent Mr. Gore’s security during his 2008 speaking tour and get within an arm’s length of he and his wife..
This is very scary when one sees how a Manson like figure can push unstable people over the edge by calling Mr. Gore a racist and wishing to exterminate billions of dark skinned people.
This is more disturbing when one reviews what Larouche has stated about the African American Presidential candidate Obama Barack in a recent commandment broadcast to the cult.
“I mean: Obama is a racist. I mean, with an
African father–he wasn’t much of an African father, but
was an African father of Kenya. He was part of a B ritish
operation, which took over Kenya, through MI5′s operation. But this guy was away from Kenya, and he married a Margar et Mead type, a
woman who had a number of successive husbands, like Margaret Mead
did. Went out to the poor, brown people, in Asia, and had sex
with them! It was called “Coming in Samoa.” [groans, laughter]
And she wore through a number of successive husbands, and by
them, had various children. And therefore, you’ll find Obama’s
ancestry, if you chase his family tree, everybody’s climbing and
swinging from the branches there–from all over the world! All
parts of the world! This guy is the universal man. Every monkey in
every tree, from every part of the world, has participated in the
sexual act of producing him. And he works for organized
crime–which is a branch of British intelligence.”
Larouche has declared the cult’s support for Hillary.
One can only imagine a young, sleep deprived Larouche Youth Movement Zombie confronting Obama or Al Gore at a public event and imagining him or herself to be a saviour of humanity by inflicting something horrible on them or their spouses.
Just last week, Larouche’s VP candidate for office, Rev James Bevel was convicted of incest with his daughter in a court room which contained unimaginable horrors . Justv google Rev James Bevel and incest to read the daily descritpions of the trial.
This cult takes creepy to a new level of sickness.
Those Al Gore comments lend him a little credibility.
Hey, Goatalicious–
Don’t you post on Skull/Bones? Didn’t you say the same thing there? What is it with you and your obsession with believing that other people have obsessions with LaRouche?
Hmmmm, perhaps this is why LaRouche has not taken me up on my offer in the third installment of this series just posted today. Maybe it’s for the best.
