Re: Knife Attack in Moscow Synagogue Allegedly Inspired by Violent American Video Game, Postal 2
Dear Ambassador Ushakov:
I am an expert, recognized as such in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, and
elsewhere, as to the disturbing nexus between violent video game play and real-world violence.
I have been repeatedly interviewed as to this nexus by the BBC and by major news media in this country.
As you know, a young person in Moscow just went on a knifing spree, allegedly inspired to do so by the
incredibly violent PC video game, Postal 2.
In this game, by the way, a player can place his virtual gun into the anus of a cat to use the feline
as a silencer. That is how depraved is Vince Desi, the head of the company that makes this game. He
is a sociopath.
This game is being distributed around the world by Mr. Desi’s US company, Running with Scissors, whose
corporate slogan is “To kill or not to kill? What a stupid question.”
We have had a large number of killings in this country linked by law enforcement to these types of
murder simulation games. Our US Defense Department actually uses virtual reality killing simulators
like this to break down the inhibition of new recruits to kill, so of course it has this same effect
on civilians.
Running with Scissors has recently entered into an arrangement whereby it can distribute its murder
simulators via the Internet, thereby bypassing various nations’ restrictions on the distribution of
such harmful material to minors. The Russian Federation must stop this practice.
I am a Republican who can tell you that United States President George W. Bush has direct financial
ties to the violent video game industry—such as Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., through massive
campaign contributions by the political lobbying firm of Blank Rome—so there is a collaboration of
sorts between the US government and the violent video game industry to export this dangerous garbage
around the globe. In fact, our Defense Department has actually subsidized the creation of some of
these virtual reality killing games at an agency known as the Institute for Creative Technologies.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is this program’s chief enthusiast.
I appeared on ABC World News Tonight blowing the whistle on this nonsense, which also extensively
involves the Sony Corporation.
Please feel free to contact me for additional information as soon as possible. I think at the very
least the Russian Federation should lodge a formal protest with the United States government regarding
the importation of Postal 2 and the mayhem at the Moscow synagogue that it may very well have caused.
Regards, Jack Thompson
