Was British author Mary Shelley perhaps predicting the future of Greensboro when she first anonymously penned, The Modern Prometheus, better known as Frankenstein in 1818 just 10 years after our city was founded. Alas, there are no records of Mary Shelley's travels to Greensborough or anywhere else in the newly founded United States but her stories and the works of her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley and father, political philosopher and children's' author William Godwin were no doubt known on this side of the pond.
No, Mary Shelley did not create our Feckenstein, aka Jeff Martin, who like that notorious two sided character from the novella, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, seemed to be two different people altogether. Known online as Fec or Fecund Stench, Jeffrey Ray Martin was very
much like the "split personality" character referred to in psychiatry as
dissociative identity disorder and brought to life by Scottish author
Robert Louis Stevenson
In Jekyll and Hyde, Dr Jekyl is faced with the prospect of forever remaining the tortured Mr Hyde or taking his own life. Those who did help to create him are hoping Feckenstein chooses to die rather than talk about what he knows. Now that we know the truth about the monster Jeff Martin has become, what will Feckenstein choose to do?
What would you do after years of passing yourself off as a non violent man of peace?
Why did the media never report it?
Why did his history of violence not come up is subsequent trials where he had threatened others?
What did Ed Cone and the Board of Directors of Cone Hospital have to do with all this?
Why did Ed Cone suddenly stop taking up for Jeff Martin's freedom of speech when I started making public Jeff Martin's criminal record? Do criminals not also have the right to free speech? Or does Ed Cone just not want Jeff Martin to talk?
Greensboro's elites like Ed Cone and David Craft used Jeff Martin and as much as I despise Jeff Martin I intend to make sure it is never forgotten to what ends they will go.
