A writer responds to fan mail: ‘Dear Crazy People’

Sean Chercover is a former private investigator, originally from Toronto, who now writes and lives in Chicago. He is the award-winning author of “Trigger City” and “Big City Bad Blood” as well as numerous short stories. I’ve never read any of his works, but I’m certainly going to pick one up if I happen across it, especially after this.

As a contributor to a collaborative blog called “The Outfit” (made up of Chicago crime writers), Chercover has written An Open Letter To The People Who Send Me Crazy Emails. An excerpt:

Your letter is all kinds of crazy.

And while I’m flattered that you have selected me as the person to help you publicly expose “the hidden truth” you’ve discovered, I have some bad news for you.

You have not discovered the hidden truth.

• The Illuminati do not secretly control the Federal Reserve. Neither do “the Jews”, you racist nutjob.
• The Masons do not secretly run the Catholic Church, while pretending to hate Catholics.
• The 1993 WTC bombing was not an FBI false flag op.
• The assassination of JFK was not a secret operation carried out by “the Blacks” (see, “the Jews” above).

Read the whole thing, it’s worth it!
