Once again , I have to say, Yes sensational explanation for the GSG by a contemporary Ripperologist. This has far less problems than the “illiterate or mal-literate misspelling” idea. Relatively brilliant anyway.

Ju is always Juh. Why add a w unless he knew Jews had a W or it’s a V and he knew about silent e making u long? Or else it’s a mixed up French ending, Juives or female Jews. Plus “double negative” “like” French. Pretty good for a fantasist.

Problem is French doesn’t have “hommes” to include women like English has or had “man”. So you don't say Female Jews are the men that will be blamed for nothing.

Has ANY serial killer EVER killed to fulfill goals of black magic, satanism, etc? The idea keeps popping up then as well as now but I cannot think of ANY case where this was the driving factor.

If they were on the level, the Chicago Ripper serial killer crew were practicing black magic....
