The Making of Michael: ‘My Other Self’

By David O. Rice

Michael Brewer was a mistake from the beginning. Neither of his parents had ever wanted the responsibility of having children, but through their desires and pleasure-seeking, an exciting alternative lifestyle was given to them. Pregnancy was not often the thing that was foremost on their minds, and subsequently, the mistake that they named Michael was created. And with absolutely no desire for the care of the infant, Michaels parents consigned the raising of the child to the hands of a nanny named Saundra, who definitely would not have been given the job if young Michaels parents had known the evil that lived inside her body. But as it turned out, young Michael had fallen desperately in love with his surrogate mother and wanted nothing more than to please his nanny.

Chapter 1

There are specific patterns of behavior displayed within the human psychological development stage which are formed during specific periods of time while in the process of personality development. These behaviors will often range from those that are considered as being normal or accepted behaviors within a cultured society and those that are considered as being antisocial or abnormal behaviors. However, during these extremely important periods of development, both of the normal and abnormal behavior types are formed into a template that is the mold for specific genetic profiles which reflect and determine the normal and also the abnormal characteristic of the developing personality prototype.

In as much as both behavior types, those that are considered as being acceptable as opposed to those that are determined to be abnormal by societal standards, are genetically imprinted on the human personality type that is being created.

However, critical functions during the developmental process must be performed at specific intervals during the entire developmental period. And the developmental period of a successful personality profile is completely dependent on the successful application and sequence of these intervals to create a healthy and acceptable personality. While any disruption or delay during this critical period can and often does result in developmental abnormalities within the completed process, and will create drastic changes in the entire personality developmental process, causing disturbing and drastic characteristics being added to the personality being developed. Delays that occur during any one of these critical periods is the major reason why there is a myriad of antisocial behaviors displayed by some members of our population so prevalent in today’s culture.

Development of the human personality is an extremely complicated and delicate process that can also be altered by chemical imbalances within the brain or the developmental process within the brain might also be compromised by something as simple as a dietary deficiency. However, external environmentally stimulating influences to the developmental process can also have a dramatic effect on the development of a human personality. The introduction of random environmental stimuli can definitely have a disastrous effect on the development of a particular personality. This also includes cultural or societal morays and beliefs that create attitudes toward what is considered as being acceptable moral behaviors displayed by these members of our society.

Personal morals, convictions, ethics, beliefs, and a few other factors that determine attitudes toward morality and how environmental stimuli is interpreted and processed by these individuals during their interactions within a societal structure that has established the accepted societal behavior and morality.

These factors have been imprinted within the characteristic development of mankind, and throughout man’s evolution, cultural morays have endeavored to guide and to a certain extent control cultural behaviors within societal boundaries, and of secondary benefit to our culture is that these beliefs could possibly decrease the moral decay of what society has long established as acceptable and non-acceptable behaviors that occur in our society.

However, a thin but very distinct line now determines between what is considered as being acceptable societal behavior and that which is viewed as being the juxtaposing position, and gives a more clear distinction between right and wrong.

Ultimately, this reversal of interpretation between right and wrong has changed some members within our culture into deviant individuals that consciously ignore societal rules of behavior, and gain a sadistic pleasure by observing criminal behavior as a means of outwitting the established controlling laws of our society and getting away with it.

It has practically come to the point within our culture that many individuals that practice criminal behaviors are given praise for committing crimes against our established laws, and they have gained a certain amount of notoriety and fame for having the ability to beat the system.

Our culture has somehow evolved to the point that many in our society now revere these criminally-minded people as though they were champions in their chosen field of criminality, and this is what further destroys the morals of our society, and the general population continues to gain pleasure and satisfaction in the success of certain criminal behaviors as the nation suffers even further moralistic degradation.

Behaviors that have traditionally been defined as being taboo or off-limits in the past are now considered as being nothing more than acceptable human behavior. And this drastic transformation in attitude has changed our entire culture from one that has always adhered to basic moralistic standards into one that encourages dehumanizing behaviors, which causes severe psychological damage or death to those that distain the use of the cultural moralistic values that are built within our society.

These individuals that have laughed at the degradation of moralistic values within our culture, have now embedded an acceptance of their abnormally developed personalities into our society. Individuals that exist throughout every segment of our population, some of which are even considered as being leaders within our nation, are corrupted by the greed and lust that automatically comes with the gaining of power, and for the most part, these corrupt leaders are in control of the entire economic and judicial systems that conduct our nation’s affairs. And with their corruptive power and leadership roles having such a great influence within our lawmaking institutions, a subjective covert police state that has no resemblance to a true democratic society now is a reality.

Permeating this police state atmosphere we must now live with, it appears that the same evil dynamics that existed during past empires had been the catalyst that led to the downfall of the Greek, Roman, Russian, or Germanic empires, all of which were proposed to last for thousands of years, yet all of these great empires were totally destroyed from within by abnormally developed personalities and the subsequent corrupt behaviors displayed by the leaders of great empires.

Not only the corrupt and insane actions of many political and legal leaders within our society have brought our culture to its present state, but also the degrading behaviors perpetrated by some of our most famous celebrities, both male and female, are contributing to the decreased morals of our society.

Further evidence of our society’s moral decline can be found by taking a look at the antics used by some celebrities simply for the sake of entertainment. There are no behaviors deemed too vulgar or too corrupt that can’t be used to increase the popularity of these immerging entertainers. The people involved with this type of behavior are perfect examples of the dysfunctional atmosphere that currently exist within our society; numerous examples exist within our culture that are evidence of the tragic damage that is done to the moral and cultural fabric that can be observed within the world of entertainment, and surprisingly these abnormal shortcomings have become quite acceptable in our culture.

Many famous and infamous recording artists think nothing of degrading the feminine gender of our society before thousands of screaming fans, by referring to members of the female gender as sluts, bitches, or whores, and that also includes female entertainers.

However, entertainers and their fans as well take the position that there is nothing improper by referring to women as whores or bitches; these are simply words that are used as pronouns to indicate one’s gender. More and more we see these terms being used, and the indiscriminant use of these terms can definitely be considered acceptable by the way they are currently used in ordinary conversations, even during nationally televised programming.

The beauty pageants for young girls are also a major contributing factor to the decline of moral values that is seen in today’s world. The use of heavy makeup that is so provocatively applied that it is sexually exciting in appearance is now seen on young children, and it’s all done while these children are performing on stage under exotic colorful lighting, while wearing costumes that are purposely designed by professional experts to enhance the sexuality of these children.

These child beauty pageants are watched and enjoyed by millions of viewers during prime time viewing hours, and are sponsored by many fortune five hundred companies that spend billions in advertisement to promote these events. This makes those huge corporations equally to blame for the decay of morals. The prostitution of little innocent children is now seen as acceptable entertainment even though these young children are being sexually exploited, but there is no outcry of moral corruption from society; all because it is considered as just being entertainment, but at the same time it also generates billions of dollars for those that promote this legalized child pornography.

There are many other examples of personality development being totally dysfunctional and corrupted by monetary greed and an insane lust to obtain absolute dominance in the world of entertainment. There are the corporate executives who went unpunished for bringing this country to the brink of financial ruin and in the process destroying the hopes and retirement dreams for millions of investors; and this was perpetrated by an elite handful of conniving Wall Street bankers that walked away with wealth beyond imagination, and escaping culpability with the unbelievable excuse of having just made a few innocent financial miscalculations. But these ‘gentlemen- bandits’ were forgiven, and not responsible for the financial ruin that was perpetrated by the corrupted and insane overlords of our entire financial system; and they escaped culpability for any miscalculations that were made through their leadership roles, and were actually compensated for their incompetence by the banking commission criminals who created golden parachutes which gave these criminals billions of dollars, while normal everyday investors suffered financial ruin.

A major example of the current insanity that has distorted moral societal beliefs is that which is referred to as the moral majority of our country. This overwhelming group of idiots is the demonic essence of what has destroyed the moral fabric of America, and is definitely guilty of endorsing insane men to elective office that are incapable of managing a horse stable, much less managing the highest office in the land, and that also includes the duties to which the second-in-command is charged with. Yes, I mean the vice-idiot- charge.

The actions of these men who were elected to the highest office in the land by this non-thinking silent majority came to office with one major priority, and that was of finding a way to engage our country in an unjust war for economic reasons. This was simply a means of the vice-thief in charge who was actually in charge of this group of thieves because of the incompetence and cloudy-thinking of the main thief, to reach his goal of gaining wealth from an inflated wartime economy. This would allow this thief to engage in an unjust war for profit, and at the same time appear to be noble and patriotic by representing themselves as heroes that were defending America.

There was no just cause for engaging in war against a nation of people who had no clue as to why they were being accused and attacked by our country for committing a devastating cowardly act of violence in New York City, when the men that had perpetrated this act of terror against our nation, were individuals that weren’t even citizens of the nation that had been attacked by the conniving, evil, corrupt elected officials that controlled our government.

These are some of the examples of the pervasive insanity that is caused by the degenerating cognitive abilities of the way people think and reason in today’s world. Although one of the most compelling examples of the distorted and insane way of today’s societal thinking can be seen in the recent exoneration of a murderer who walked into a quiet neighborhood in Florida on a rainy night, and shot to death a seventeen-year-old youngster simply because he happened to have black skin and was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, which made him appear as a threat to a bigoted K.K.K. pretend police agent; and to this very day incidences such as this continue to happen, and to make it even worst, scores of law officers are being murdered by equally insane individuals that are seeking infamous notoriety

But how could the murder of this young man have happened in today’s world very easily when one considers that all his defense attorney needed to prove is that the blackness of the victim’s face and the fact that he had on a hooded sweatshirt could absolutely be interpreted as being a threat to a white man’s life.

This insane redneck was not wearing the traditional white hood and sheet that is worn by members of the K.K.K.at the time he was out prowling a peaceful neighborhood while armed and dressed as a neighborhood guardian. But deep inside his warped mind, this white man was harboring hatred toward all black people. But in his hate-filled mind, he knew that he couldn’t just murder a black person, he needed a reason to justify murder, so he used this child’s appearance as being the reason for his murder. His could only gain satisfaction for the murder of a black young man if he could escape culpability and get away with the murdering him, if he thought of this young black man as being such a threat to his own life and safety that he had a right to challenge this young black male and even murder him, because there was an unspoken belief among most of the white population that all black people are considered a threat to the white race, particularly young black males.

But underneath his pseudo-police clothing, he was wearing the garb of the K.K.K., which wasn’t seen by the young hooded-sweatshirt wearing black man, but he should have known from his mother’s teachings that a white law-enforcement officer approaching him could very well be a threat to his life; he should have known that this was a white murderer from his fear-laden mother’s warning about confrontations such as this, and he would have a good chance of becoming a dead young black male lying on the cold wet sidewalk because of the innate racism of the white population. Try imagining the fear that was echoing in his mind, remembering his mother’s warning about some evil white men, particularly badge-wearing, pretend and sometimes real policemen that wore their hoods and white sheets underneath their police uniforms, and he knew that this kind of white person would go to any length just for the chance to kill a black male, and use the excuse of fear for his life as justification for murder and that the murderer would also be found not guilty in a court of law.

As it often happens during instances such as this, the white, vigilante clansman was found not guilty of murder by a jury panel that was equally as racist as this white murderer, this officer of the law who had sworn an oath to God and man that he would serve and protect all citizens, and this murderer was found not guilty of the murder of a young black male that was just walking down the street, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and eating candy while talking on his cell phone.

I have gone to extreme lengths in my attempt to understand what was going through the minds of those particular jury members as they went through the motions of pretending to be fair-minded and impartial while they listened to the bullshit defense that was being presented by the murder’s defensive attorneys, while looking into the eyes of the young black man’s family members at the same time.

The only conclusion that came to my mind while I stared at this group of obviously bigoted human beings was their deep-rooted belief that this armed white vigilante must have really felt threatened and vulnerable in the face of a young black male wearing a hooded sweatshirt, talking on his cell phone, and eating candy while walking down the street on a dark rainy night in his own supposedly safe and secure neighborhood.

These are extreme examples of how much our culture has lost in its ability to interpret the meaning between what is right and what is wrong, or basically what is the truth and what is bigoted untruth.

However, it must also be taken into consideration that as much as the public’s interpretation of the law may have been morally corrupted and tainted by bigotry and racial hatred, there is no possible legislation that our government could ever propose that would eliminate or erase the bigoted racial hatred that is imbedded within the hearts of certain Caucasian individuals. Even the prayers of those that are targeted by these maniacal demons cannot solve the problem of destructive evil, or race hatred; prayer is comfort for the souls of those people that are hated and discriminated against. Only the ones that are charged with the mediation and enforcement of the law within our system can change the dynamics of this situation, and most of these people are wearing the white robes of bigotry and hatred underneath their tailor-made business suits, so they gladly do nothing at all.

The corruption that is seen within our political and judicial systems is not the only factor that has destroyed the moralistic climate of our country; there has also been a persistent dynamic in the attitudes of people in general concerning the destruction of the moral foundation which should support justice within this great nation of ours. It is the way people actually think that has been corrupted, and that additional factor has been an overwhelming component in the demise of morals in this nation, and it is based on selfishness, hatred of others, and most of all, unrestrained envy and jealousy that has brought us all down to this point in which we find ourselves.

It seems as though every day, people are now frequently asking the question, Why don’t my beliefs and morals give me the power to find pleasure in whatever it is that I want or lust for in this world? Eventually, this question gains a foothold and begins to corrupt the public’s cognitive ability to the point of some people seeking ways to satisfy those needs and desires no matter what they may be, and quite often, these desires will demand behaviors that are contrary to what is generally accepted as being normal and accepted behavior.

Sexual gratification is the overwhelming force that determines what human behavior must be employed to gain that gratification which is sought, and also the accumulation of wealth is another necessary factor that is needed to obtain the sexual partners that give gratification to those seeking pleasure. Both factors are powerful motivators that inspire and corrupt the average person, who subsequently attempts to conceal the deviant human behaviors that are needed to obtain those abnormal sexual desires.

People who pursue satisfaction of their deviant sexual needs usually exhibit behaviors that should be kept behind locked doors and hidden away from societal boundaries. However, with the decay of moral and ethical rules that have been put in place as a means of controlling abnormal or deviant behaviors that are used in the pursuit of sexual pleasures; those seeking deviant desires will not put any limit on what morals or taboos they are willing to break in achieving those lustful, hidden desires.

There are people who could care less about what societal rules they must break in order to gain the satisfaction they seek, and this has caused a dramatic increase in the number of people that seek membership in secret societies and groups, or sex clubs that conceal the depraved behaviors that are needed to satisfy those seeking abnormal sexual pleasures, and those behaviors should be kept behind locked doors.

In achieving sexual gratification that is contrary to what society considers as ‘normal’, the use of depraved behaviors which can and often does lead to severe psychological trauma to those seeking the satisfaction of abnormal desires, and this situation might eventually corrupt or destroy any semblance of what is considered ‘normal’ sexual behavior in the minds of these people.

It is also possible that the covert behaviors that are often used could possibly create a group of savage predators that only find sexual excitement by harming or killing its victim after the act of copulation, which is much like certain species of arachnids. After mating the female dispatches and then consumes the male in order to provide nourishment after the fertilized eggs have hatched. In as much as this behavior is an instinctual or genetic behavior with some species of spiders, it is unlike the behaviors displayed by some humans who have evolved into an abnormal psychological monster which gains satisfaction just from the act of murder itself, and harboring the desire to kill and murder after a sexual encounter.

This personality type is described as being a sociopathic predator that openly prowls city streets, concealed behind a facial mask, pretending to be just another normal human being; and by using this façade of harmlessness for the purpose of luring prey to the killing ground is usually success in the hunt. These are also the people that hide behind the locked doors of secret clubs and organizations or their own closets hiding their evil behaviors.

For this beast to be successful in hunting prey, their victims must not be able to recognize the monster that is hidden behind the smiling face of an apparently quite normal looking person. However, the inability of the potential victims to recognize these stalking predators has turned the human population into nothing but a herd of sheep that are unaware they are living in a killing field, and in the presence of a vicious pack of predators.

Not all of the people that have veered away from what is considered as normally accepted sexual behaviors can be described as monsters, some are people that simply want the freedom to pursue the satisfaction of fulfilling their sexual dreams and fantasies with no intention of bringing harm to anyone while pursuing their deviant desires such as: same sex copulation, bestiality, group sex, or even having the chance to participate in huge coliseum-like mass orgies that would be held without the fear of public scrutiny. All they want is the opportunity to experience those sinful desires, and be able to perform those acts in complete and total privacy.

Age is not even a factor in the pursuit of sexual gratification; there are as many elderly members of society that are joining secret sex clubs as any other age group of people. Both individuals and long-married senior citizen couples that have lived their entire lives within a puritanical culture, but have also had closeted dreams of experiencing some secret sexual desire that they have long held throughout their lives, and now they have found the perfect vehicle that will allow them the chance to fulfill those long sought exotic and thrilling pleasures, by becoming a part of this alternative lifestyle that is hidden behind locked doors.

The increasing number of people today that are joining the circle of secret club memberships is huge because its members are given the perfect opportunity to pursue their sexual fantasies. Although it must be understood quite clearly that being an elderly member of our culture doesn’t necessarily mean that older people have any less need for sexual gratification in any way, shape, or form than any of the others seeking fulfillment of hidden desires. Some older members of these clubs are really seen as often being the catalyst that increases the lust and passion seen at some of the sexual gatherings held at these clubs.

Chapter 2

North Bay Shore is one of the most affluent islands within the chain of Lake Erie resort islands off the north coast of Cleveland; and North Bay Shore’s yachting club is one of the most exclusive clubs that can found anywhere in the country. This exclusive retreat is quite selective in its membership selection, and what particular type people are allowed to join.

Even the applications of the wealthy of Cleveland’s high society are granted membership to North Bay Shore’s Yachting Club, it is strictly by invitation only, and these invitations are only given to the richest members of Cleveland society. Simply having a mere million dollars isn’t enough to gain entry into this exclusive club, only those having stock portfolios in excess of five million plus are pursued by the North Bay Shore Yachting Club to become members of this exclusive club.

However, the amount of one’s wealth wasn’t even enough for a small number of the membership. These separate members wanted something far more than just to be members, what these few members actually wanted was to create an inner circle of club members that existed within the exclusive North Bay Yachting Club.

The agenda for this inner circle of members within the club involved something that might possibly be considered profound or even sinister if the general membership were to ever discover its existence or the secret agenda it had, and would probably discontinue their memberships immediately if the truth were ever known.

This inner circle of members within the North Bay Shore Yachting Club was well organized, and became a secretive unit whose priority had nothing to do with the accumulation of wealth and cared nothing about the yacht club’s long history of being the most prestigious yachting club along the northern shores of Cleveland. Choosing a façade to conceal the true purpose of this group, these secretive members formed into a group of stock market investors which would explain the need for their private meetings to the other members of the yachting club, while keeping their true agenda from the inquisitive eyes of the other members that belonged to the club.

This gave the inner circle exactly what it needed, the opportunity to explore all of the taboos and sexual fantasies they could imagine, and be able to fulfill those lustful pleasures of the flesh, all behind the closed doors of their investment group.

With this creation of an alternative lifestyle, the members of the inner circle could freely bathe themselves in complete and total decadence, and exploit every deviant sexual fantasy that could be imagined; and all of this would be accomplished within the privacy and confines of their pseudo stock investment club.

This inner circle was divided into sections, with each section having at least six members, and each section managed by a disreputable Brokerage Firm that was located in the city of Cleveland; and which at one time had been investigated by the Federal Trade Commission for insider trading. However, none of the brokers were ever proven guilty, and the charges were eventually dropped after a staff of attorneys, who were also members of the North Bay Shore’s ’inner circle’ came on board as legal advisors to the defense team.

These club attorneys were immediately recognized by several members of the local news media as also being members of the North Bay Yachting Club, and with several members of the legal defense team for the brokerage firm suddenly recognized as yacht club members, an undercurrent of questions began circulating among the general membership of the Yachting Club, and they were asking why these defense attorneys were also a part of the inner circle members within the North Bay Yachting Club?

However, with the passage of time the questions gradually ceased, as it often happens with rumors of impropriety, the questions lost creditability with the Yachting Club membership, and also with no further accusations coming from the Federal Trade Commission, the inner circle members continued to be an active part of the North Bay Yachting Club.

The profits generated from inner circle investments continued to greatly increase the stock portfolios of the entire membership of the Yachting Club, although gaining more wealth wasn’t really the true objective of the inner circle, somehow, quite a few of the yacht club members became suspicious that there were ulterior motives connected with
