Or let itself be eaten, if this is the sort of “art” its self-annointed elites create during wartime, and its plebes happily consume without comment.

Read More...Mike Franks discovers a strange article while searching through the home of his dead grandmother — a letter that states, “I Will Skin and Eat Your Children. Upon Finishing, I Shall Fashion Tools out of their Bones,” with the signature “G.W.” He takes the letter to an expert who authenticates it as the handwriting of George Washington, and the text a self-exposé of his behaviour as a murderous cannibal. That night, Franks and his family encounter members of a psychotic patriots group, with ivory teeth and dressed in Revolutionary War attire. They demand the letter, but are forced to leave by the arrival of the police.
The next day, Mike turns to Professor Hartkinson of the local university for information. The old man tells him about “the Washingtonians” and how history has been based on a false image designed to hide the truth (referring to Washington’s cannibalism and the fact that Benjamin Franklin is a composite character based on the accomplishments of several lesser individuals). Franks and Hartkinson are attacked by the Washingtonians and Mike is abducted and taken to Mount Vernon, the home of the killer President.
