<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>I found it on Amazon. I wasn't able to confirm the term anywhere else, so I posted it on the JonBenet thread, thinking if it was authentic, someone here would have heard of it.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>Let's do a little critical examination of this Amazon connection, so we can tease a little more information out of it.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0451408713/102-6139296-6996956?v=glance&n=283155">www.amazon.com/gp/product...e&n=283155</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Go to the Amazon link. Right off, something is wrong. The title is listed this way: <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Who Killed Jonbenet Ramsey?: A Leading Forensic Expert Uncovers the Shocking Facts (Onyx True Crime, Je 871) (Mass Market Paperback)</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <br><br>Where it should just be a title, they've added a series number and noted that it is a mass market paperback. While the title of the book is in all caps in the picture, somebody didn't know enough to realize that JonBenet should have the B capitalized (and for that matter, an accent over the second E). The book came out in 1998, and nobody associated with it (or even a stranger) cared enough to make the entry look a little more professional in all this time.<br><br>Now let's look at the review you are quoting. Johann, the reviewer with no last name or country listed (likely European, due to his quoting punctuation?) , has a single review to his name, making him 1,388,081st in the Amazon reviewer rankings. Being one million, three hundred eighty eight thousand and eighty one on a list does not inspire much confidence. Johann's had a rather crushing reception from the Amazon readers. Only three out of nineteen who responded found his review helpful. Had anyone here actually read his review you'd have seen that Johann gives as a source for the supposed JonBenet=Satan information <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>The Biggest Secrets</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> by David Icke<br><br>Freeper dataman says "I read a book by an absolute nutcase (David Ickes) that Jon Benet Ramsey was raised for satanic sacrifice to a demon called JonBet."<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a38a277ef4379.htm">www.freerepublic.com/foru...ef4379.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>The rest of the items that come up in a google for "David icke" + jonbet are all repetions of the Icke passage. So there's your source, FWIW. <br><br>No confirmation (well-sourced or otherwise) elsewhere on the net, and the only source given that of the raving looney David Icke. I think the JonBenet=JonBet=The Prince of Darkness meme will have to go in the Weakest Link bin.<br><br>What you might want to note is that "JonBet" is a typo often made on the web. And when people start looking into the James Guckert who some thought was Jeff Gannon and Johnny Gosch, note that there are typos or bad research referring to him as "Jeff Guckert," and that there are James Guckerts out there with differing middle initials.<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Caveat lector.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br> <br><br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
