The Happy Survivor
December 2, 2015
THE HAPPY SURVIVOR is a standard fixture of the shooting psy-ops which are now coming so fast and furious it’s hard to keep up. The Happy Survivor is the tear-less, dry-eyed, smiling relative or friend who has totally assimilated a violent death of a loved one within days or even hours and talks about immediate forgiveness, raves about the dead person’s fantastic love of life, and stresses the importance of moving on. He may even, as in the case of one Sandy Hook mother, load up on some Sharpie pens and scribble happy messages on a coffin. Ah, the joy of the life cut down! In short, the Happy Survivor is not to be believed. Whoever the producer is, he is repeating himself. Two recent examples of the Happy Survivor are Zoe Alexander, the sister of Nick Alexander, who allegedly died at the Bataclan Theater in Paris (hilarious interview footage with mildly profane analysis by RedSilverj above) and Davey Blackburn, the photogenic Indiana “Christian pastor” whose wife, Amanda, was allegedly gunned down by two black assailants on Nov. 10 in Indianapolis.
A few words about the Blackburn case: The coroner became involved before Mrs. Blackburn was dead. Coroners are never called until there is a dead body. Sorry, but that’s just standard protocol. It’s downright rude when a coroner gets involved too soon. That is just one tip off in this case. Here’s another: Davey Blackburn, who exudes intense self-love in all of the dozens of photos he supplied to the press, basically announced his wife’s death before she was taken off life support. One day after his wife was shot in their home and before she was dead, he not only supplied lots of stagey photos to news stations, but released a long, sentimental statement, obviously not written in the heat of grief, in which he spoke of her in the past tense. He started requesting donations with this professional-looking fundraising page the same day — again, before she had died and one day after she had been shot.
Here is an interview with Blackburn, speaking about forgiveness after the arrest of the assailants. He appears to be trying hard to suppress a grin. And here, three-quarters of the way down the page, is an interview with two friends of the Blackburns, who are not suppressing grins at all. They are smiling one day after their friend has been allegedly shot in the head. They talked about the need to move on while their friend was still on life support. By the way, notice the absence of images of the 2,000 people who allegedly attended Amanda’s incredibly creepy rock funeral.
I haven’t gotten yet to the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood event, starring the raging, wild-eyed, white Christian bigot and arch-enemy of humanity on a shooting spree among the self-less, heroic, and federally-funded baby killers. But I think it is still playing on TV screens near you and there must be a few Happy Survivors.
What is the purpose of the Happy Survivor? The goal is to desensitize. Death sentimentalized is not death at all. The goal is to wring your heart out until there is nothing left of it. The goal is to rob you of your humanity so that when your neighbor is thrown in jail or mysteriously disappears or your son is blown to pieces in a distant land, you will smile and move on.
