I wish to begin this enigmatic essay with two important caveats. First, the relative popularity rate of serial murder is always socially and culturally specific. This means that a decline or increase in the rate of serial murder worldwide, cannot even be properly analyzed, much less a definitive conclusion reached.
Any and all analysis of serial murder rates and popularity must be limited to a single society/culture, and for the purpose of this essay, the only society and culture that I will be analyzing, is that of amerikkka. Many of My Forbidden Truth insights contained within this analysis are applicable to other human societies and cultures, but the overall analysis itself is specifically limited to amerikkkan society. Clearly, even if serial killing is on the decline within amerikkkan society, it might just be entering its Golden Age within a different society.
Second, as you all know, accurate definitions are very important to all Truth quests, and so I wish to very clearly define the criteria that I am applying to determine whether or not an individual qualifies as a serial killer. The Forbidden Truth definitional criteria is as follows: 1 or 2 individuals, acting alone or as a couple, without any broader support network, successfully carrying out three or more  “illegal” murders over the course of a minimum one month period of time. There must be a minimum of three successful harvestings, separate and distinct from each other. Attempted murders in which the intended victim survives, do not count towards this three dead, three separate event, minimum one month period of time, definitional threshold.
I use the term “illegal” in order to establish a definitional distinction to exclude the millions of individuals who carry out legal serial murder under the authority and encouragement of their society: The soldier, the cop, the executioner, the hunter, the abortion doctor, the female abortionists who choose to serially abort their biological creations, etc…
And finally, it must be clearly understood that all serial killers are inspired and motivated by True Reality-based rage and hate which directly reflects the victimization, personal trauma, and direct injustice that they, as children and as adults, have been subjected to. No serial killer is motivated by a desire to obtain money, even if he carries out his 3+ serial murders during the commission of armed robberies. No serial killer is motivated by a desire to become famous, even if he specifically declares this to be his primary objective. No serial killer is motivated by the desire to have sexual contact with another human, even if this is his declared motivation/objective.
We must understand that serial killers are human beings, and human beings lack insight into their True behavioral motivations. This lack of insight might be slightly lower, percentagewise, among serial killers than it is among the general population, but it cannot be discounted. We must recognize that most serial killers do not perceive their own motivations within Forbidden Truth Self-insight.
Because serial murder is such a basic and natural expression of personal victimization, and universal victimization of all human beings beginning in childhood has been a functional reality throughout modern human history, we must understand that serial murder has occurred and will always occur, until humanity becomes extinct. A lack of media coverage of illegal serial killing in the past, does not reveal the factual reality of a lack of serial killers operating during any past period of time.
Within this understanding however, it is absolutely fair to understand that serial killing goes through varying cycles of popularity within every society, based upon several factors which will be discussed in this essay. The specific question at hand is this: As of the year 2015, is it fair to draw an analytical conclusion that serial killing in amerikkka has reached a functional peak, and is now in a state of decline?
Scholars of serial murder, such as Myself. recognize that the period from 1970 to 1995 deserves to be recognized as a Golden Age of serial killing, in amerikkka. Inspired by the successful political assassinations of the 1960’s, and the engrossing cases of Boston Strangler serial killer Albert DeSalvo and the still unidentified Zodiac serial killer of the San Francisco area, an entire generation of children and young adults, during the later 1960’s and 1970’s, were awakened and inspired to the potential reflective glory of becoming a successful serial killer, and chose to pursue this life path achievement.
Beginning in the early 1970’s and continuing through the mid 1990’s, amerikkka experienced an explosion of serial killing, which qualifies the time period for the label of Golden Age. This Golden Age of Serial Murder in amerikkka  saw a large number of highly successful and enigmatic serial killers, establishing a permanent new mark of reflective rage upon the culture of this diseased, deranged, and universally harmful society.
Consider the charming list: From Ted Bundy to Edmund Kemper to David Berkowitz to John Wayne Gacy to Henry Lee Lucas to Gary Ridgway to Jeffrey Dahmer to Carl Eugene Watts to Larry Eyler, we can document hundreds of known and identified serial killers who operated inside of amerikkka during this Golden Age.
But something changed in the mid 1990’s. The number of arrests of serial killers began to decline. The number of active, unsolved, prolific and ongoing serial murder cases, such as the Zodiac and Green River, also began to decline.  The question at hand: Is this decline real, or is it a media invention? And, is this decline merely a natural rate variation which can be expected to reverse itself in coming years based on the law of averages?
Let us consider several enigmatic factors: First, the mass media maintains great control over public reality perception. It was the mass media, in the 1960’s and 1970’s, which helped to popularize serial murder via extensive and sensationalistic coverage of the 1960’s political assassinations, the Boston Strangler and Zodiac serial killer cases, as well as the Ted Bundy and Son Of Sam serial killer cases a few years later.
Back in the day, national newspapers openly printed the writings of at-large serial killers. The phenomenon was relatively new to societal leaders, and so they lacked a comprehensive plan of censorship and media control regarding serial killers. This allowed for a brief window of Truth expression to slip through the hive mind of social control. Today, things would be different. Today, if the Washington Post, as an example, were to begin receiving letters from an at-large individual claiming to be a prolific serial killer, and providing concrete evidence to this effect, the newspaper would not publish the letters. Instead, it would call the pigs, turn the material over to the pigs, and obey any censorship demand of law enforcement and other governmental leaders.
Who knows how many letters from active and at-large serial killers are being sent to the media these days?? We do not know, because the climate of censorship is much stronger today than it was in the 1960’s, 1970’s and even the 1980’s.
Let us understand that the successful serial killer undermines the fascist and mind-control power of the government. The successful serial killer reveals a path of freedom of action, and of mind autonomy, which directly threatens the social order. The successful serial killer reveals to all humans that their slavemasters cannot keep them safe, that this claimed benefit of the shackle that is government, is a pure lie and fanciful illusion.
Every government has a vested interest in discouraging illegal serial murder, and in concealing its rate of serial murder, as well as concealing any active and ongoing serial murder rampages, not only because they point out the tactical impotency of government and law enforcement, but because they can and do inspire other torture victims to initiate and pursue their own serial killing careers.
So, any analysis of whether or not serial murder is in decline today, must take into primary account the fact that governmental censorship in amerikkka today is much more strident and prolific than it was 50, 40, or even 30 years ago, and that there is absolute and strong motivation for government to intentionally censor and withold from public knowledge or focus, the factual sagas of serial murder cases, both solved and unsolved by law enforcement.
Let us move on to another primary issue: Technology has changed greatly over the past 50 years, and these changes have not benefited the aspiring or actual serial killer who desires and plans for a long and successful career of harvesting humans. Video surveillance of both private and public places inside of amerikkka has greatly increased over the years, creating a much more difficult environment for serial killers to successfully operate within. Even the cellular telephone, which did not exist in the 1970’s and most of the 1980’s, significantly compromises the tactical security of an active and operational serial killer.
Without going into great detail, it is certainly fair to conclude that the operational environment for most types of serial killers has become more difficult in recent years, and torture victims who might aspire to claim cathartic vengeance through prolific serial murder should be expected to recognize and understand this fact, and perhaps choose a different path to achieve True Reality catharsis.
Let us consider: Is the commission of dynamic mass murder also significantly more difficult to achieve today, than it is to become a successful, long-term, prolific serial killer?? Upon Forbidden Truth analysis, the answer is no. There are certainly factors at play which have marginally increased the difficulty of an individual  successfully carrying out a large-scale “illegal” mass murder. Police training and tactics, the development of SWAT teams, the increased use of metal detectors, and even the invention of the cell phone, allowing for a faster alert to the pigs, these and other factors have made mass murder more difficult today than it was in the 1970’s and 1980’s. But the flip side is at play here, too. Access to assault weapons with high capacity magazines is slightly better today, than in 1970. Ability to access building blueprints is still good. Obtaining tactical diversionary devices such as smoke grenades is still good. Very simply, the tactical environment for successful mass murder has been compromised much less than the tactical environment for successful serial murder.
Moving on, I personally deem the following issue to be extremely relevant to the question at hand. Not surprisingly, the average human has never imagined, much less considered, this perspective: Serial killing is, essentially, an act of both optimism and hope. Yes, optimism and hope for the future. Consider, the serial killer, be it consciously or subconsciously, is planning to commit additional murders in the future. He is optimistic that in the months and years to come, he can and will carry out such murders. He is hopeful for the future, at least in terms of his own actions and achievements. He is generally not suicidal, even if on a subconscious level he may desire to be captured and punished.
Contrast the mindset of the serial killer to that of the mass murderer. The mass murderer is generally not optimistic about the future, and generally not very hopeful of being able to carry out additional mass murders in the future, and much more often than the serial killer, the mass murderer may be actively suicidal and willing/eager to die immediately after his harvestings.
As I have often revealed, the human species is devolving to extinction, and right now, it is in its final death throes of a devolutionary spiral. Optimism, hope, and planning for the future, are not mindsets which can be expected to increase in popularity during the final death throes of human devolution. Therefore, the optimistic and hopeful mindset of the aspiring serial killer is at direct odds with the factual reality of the human devolutionary death spiral. At the same time, the suicidal hopelessness of the mass murder rampager, dovetails well with the factual reality of human devolution.
It is very interesting to note that in amerikkka, ever since the rate of serial murder may have begun to decline in the mid 1990’s, the rate of mass murder rampages has definitely increased during the past 20 years. I conclude, via unbiased Forbidden Truth analysis, that this increase in mass murder, and the possible decrease in serial murder, speaks directly to the factual reality of the human devolutionary death spiral increasing in intensity.
We still have not answered the primary question of this essay: Is serial murder currently in decline in amerikkka??? Well, I am sorry if the climax to this essay disappoints the reader, but after all of the above brilliant analysis, My final conclusion must and will be: I do not know for certain.
There are too many unknown factors and variables, for an absolutely certain conclusion to be reached. The amount of government censorship of the media that is occurring on this issue, is impossible for Me to determine and know. The number of Undetectable Serial Killers who might be active and operational at this time, an issue I have written about in previous essays, is impossible for Me to determine and know. The fact that this type of statistic cannot be expected to maintain a constant upward trend, must be acknowledged. Meaning that even if the rate of serial murder has declined in the past 20 years, the rate could still explode upward in the next 20 years to come.
Truth is vitally important. Whenever the seeker of Truth does not know something, cannot arrive at an absolutely definitive conclusion, he must consciously recognize that the question cannot be answered, the issue cannot be resolved. There is nothing wrong with this. It is a sign of strength of mind, not weakness of mind. And so I arrive at the conclusion that this question cannot be definitively answered.
But, there is very real evidence, very real reason to think that serial killing might be in a state of decline. Seekers of Truth should consider this possibility, and continue to analyze why it may be so. I expect mass murder to continue to increase in popularity and volume, as the human devolutionary death spiral continues.
