Here is what the media is reporting: 51-year-old Bill Sparkman, a census worker, was found lynched from a tree near a Clay County, Kentucky, cemetary. The word FED was “scrawled on his chest.” Most stories are either suggesting or completely accusing that right-wing anti-government sentiment was the motive.

Here of course is what the media is not reporting. The body was discovered Saturday, September 12. The FBI was involved immediately because Mr. Sparkman was technically a federal worker at that point. The FBI is not revealing much, and is continuing to investigate.

Additionally, the source of the statement regarding the “scrawled” word FED has not been indentified, may not be in any way related to the investigation, and has not been corroborated by anyone else, including the nature of the scrawling. Keep this in mind: this alleged message may or may not have even occurred. That someone made the claim is clear, however very few news sources add that he is not authorized to discuss the investigation to any degree of detail.

The left-wing is overjoyed, evident on so many story comments and blogs, that right-wing hatred has finally killed someone.

The Czar has been here before, and fully expects—in a few weeks—a terse, quiet announcement on a weekend that the bastard responsible for Mr. Sparkman’s murder has been arrested, and is a die-hard liberal who wanted to send a strong message that Obama isn’t progressive enough. The Czar is not alone in this suspicion: the victim’s mother has said she believes she knows what happened, who did it, and why; however, she is refraining from comment until the FBI completes its own investigation. But the murder isn’t as simple as the press thinks. Indeed, a coroner continues to investigate the possibility that this is a suicide.

This is a weird, disturbing, and sad story (especially given Mr. Sparkman’s immense popularity in the community). But one fact is emerging: right-wing hatred of the government did not kill Mr. Sparkman, not contribute to his death. The facts, as they emerge, will paint a more embarrasing story for the media.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
