Études sur les sept Églises : 3. Pergame

Études sur les sept Églises : 3. Pergame Nous avions vu la dernière fois l’Église de Smyrne, et nous avions compris qu’il s’agissait de l’Église de Dieu dans la période « de l’an 100 à l’an 323 ». Cette fois-ci nous nous tournons vers l’Église de Pergame, aux versets 12 à 17.

The Greensburg 6

The Greensburg 6 consisted of the victim, Jennifer Lee Daugherty’s six friends whom she had recently befriended at a community center in Greensburg, ten miles away from her home. Being mentally disabled with the mental capacity of a 14-year-old, it was not easy for Jennifer Daugherty to make friends. So, when her family saw that she had friends she regularly visited in Greensburg, they were ecstatic.

Living in the same apartment, there was Angela Marinucci, who was the youngest at 17 years old, and Ricky Smyrnes, 23. Both of them were in a relationship with each other. Then there was the 20-year-old Amber Meidinger, pregnant with Melvin Knight’s baby, who was the same age as Meidinger. Peggy Darlene Miller, 27, and Robert Masters, 36, also lived with them in the same place.

Whenever Jennifer used to hang out with all of them, Angela Marinucci noticed her boyfriend used to flirt with Jennifer. She also had, reportedly, overheard her boyfriend talking to Jennifer on the phone and proclaiming his love for her. This caused Marinucci a great deal of jealousy and insecurity. After taking Amber into confidence, she devised the whole plan against Jennifer and included the rest of the housemates in it as well.

Ricky Smyrnes was also a part of the torture and killing of Jennifer Daugherty. However, during the confessional tapes played in the courts amidst their trials, Smyrnes told the police that he had loved Jennifer, and she loved him too. She used to ride the bus to their apartment to meet him only. He only took part in the plan against her because he was afraid Angela would’ve killed him.

On February 10th, 2010, Jennifer Daugherty told her parents that she planned on going to her friends’ apartment in Greensburg for a sleepover that day. Her stepfather, Bobby Murphy, dropped her off at the bus stop from where she traveled to Greensburg on a bus. She had left a note for her mother that said, “I hope that you will have a good day at work, and I also love you very much”. These words came to be the last words she said to her mother.

As soon as Jennifer entered the apartment, things took a horrific turn for Jennifer. She was beaten with a metal towel rack, a crutch, and the hose of a vacuum cleaner. Her hair was shaved, and her face was covered in nail polish. Cruelly, Jennifer was forced to consume her own urine and feces. She was also forced to drink detergent and liters of vegetable oil. They had repeatedly stomped on her chest and stomach. Moreover, she was given sleeping pills and antibiotics in massive amounts as well.

According to Amber, Jennifer was stripped naked, gagged, and raped by Melvin Knight. She was then taken to the living room, where spices and oatmeal were poured onto her. She had begged her ‘friends’ to stop because she was in pain and her eyes were burning, but the group ignored her pleas.

Jennifer had begged them to let her go as night descended, but that is where the group decided that they will kill her as they couldn’t risk their safety.

The group forced her to write her suicide note before slashing her wrists. Jennifer was also stabbed in the chest and lungs by Knight. In his confessional tape, Melvin Knight stated that,

“Ricky got a knife and told me to stab her…and then I stabbed her in the chest three times.”

Then they wrapped Jennifer’s battered body in Christmas lights, who was barely alive. Then Smyrnes, Knight, and Masters choked her with the Christmas lights wrapped around her neck. Afterward, the group stuffed her body in a plastic garbage can and left it under a truck in the snow-covered parking lot of Greensburg Salem Middle School. On February 11th, her body was discovered by the Truck Driver, who had noticed something under his truck.

Angela Marinucci was decided by the court to be the main instigator of the entire ordeal against Jennifer Daughtery. Since she was 17 when the murder happened, so she did not qualify for the death penalty. She was, however, given a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Ricky Smyrnes and Melvin Knight were sentenced to death after Knight’s confession. It is also reported that while hearing his confession tape being played in the courtroom, Knight had laughed out loud in the court. He pleaded guilty to Jennifer’s first and second-degree murder, her kidnapping, and conspiracy to murder.

Robert Masters was sentenced to 30 to 70 years in prison after pleading guilty to third-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder and abduction. Amber Meindinger pleaded guilty to the same offenses but received a sentence of 40 to 80 years in prison. Peggy Darlene Miller received a sentence of 35 to74 years in prison.

It is reported that the Prosecution was seeking a death sentence for Knight, Smyrnes, and Meindinger, but Meindinger didn’t receive a death sentence after she decided to plead guilty in court.

The police did not accuse Masters and Miller of participating in the entire act of torture and murder of Jennifer. However, the evidence from the confessional tapes suggests that they were part of the meetings in which the whole ordeal was planned. They had also voted for Jennifer to be murdered.

By Terry George. Le garçon d'Izmir. (la Smyrne des grecs).

[claudehenrion]

Smyrne :  il y a 100 ans, “la Catastrôphe”...

 Aujourd'hui, c'est “notre” rentrée à nous. Pour notre reprise de contact, un “billet” un peu différent des autres, écrit à la fois par piété filiale, par souci de la vérité sur un épisode sanglant de l'Histoire, et par crainte d'une répétition en cours –possible à défaut d'être probable, les choses étant ce qu'elles sont, les fous ce qu'ils croient ne pas être, et Erdogan ce qu'il est ! Il s'agit en réalité d'un moment charnière de l'Histoire moderne, qui n'avait pas été perçu comme tel,  lorsqu'il est arrivé : la destruction totale de Smyrne, ville grecque, par les turcs. Le hasard a largement mêlé ma famille à ce drame, puis m'y a indirectement “aspiré”, 70 ans plus tard.

Smyrne était, jusqu'en 1921, une superbe ville où il faisait bon être, et dont l'éclat rayonnait sur tout le pourtour méditerranéen. Thucydide, puis Virgile (qui voulut vivre et mourir là) le savaient déjà. Avec Lamartine, Chateaubriand, Gautier ou Loti, l'élite franco-européenne du XIX ème siècle aimait s'y retrouver : Smyrne faisait pleinement partie d'un espace onirique européo-orientaliste et Théophile Gauthier, en 1853, célébrant son charme oriental, disait “avoir trouvé là le paroxysme du raffinement et de la richesse culturelle que peut offrir une société digne de ce nom”. C'était “la perle de la Méditerranée”…  Mais la Turquie s'étant alliée à l'Allemagne en 1915, Smyrne fut, dans les traités, déclarée “ville grecque” (ce que, bien que située en territoire turc, elle était de fait, mais officieusement : “La Grèce Ionienne”). Le texte dit : “La Grèce occupera l'Ionie, mais sans l'annexer”. Il s’en suivit un ‘’grand remplacement’’ de population : de nombreux turcs durent partirent et des grecs débarquèrent, en nombre… Mustapha Kémal “Atatürk” ne le supporta pas.

Du 13 au 17 septembre 1922, un incendie gigantesque détruisit la presque totalité de cette ville de 300 000 habitants, après l’arrivée des troupes turques qui s'est terminée en un massacre des grecs, des arméniens et des anatoliens, et par l’expulsion de toutes les populations grecques d’Asie Mineure, filles de l'Empire Romain d'Orient (environ 500 000 départs en quelques jours), comme une anticipation du sinistre “La valise ou le cercueil” de nos pieds noirs. Smyrne-la-douce a oublié son passé raffiné et est devenue Izmir la turque, un grand port industriel, bruyant et immense, de 5 millions d’habitants. Turcs à 99,9 %, bien sûr.

Pour les Grecs, ce drame historique, humain et culturel est un traumatisme qui se transmet de génération en génération, sous le nom, souvent dit en français, de “LA Catastrôphe” (prononcé “à la grecque”, en roulant le “r” et avec un “ô” très fermé). Dans l'indifférence internationale devant l'assassinat de dizaines de milliers de chrétiens pourchassés et “lynchés” dans les rues, le consul américain Norton obtint l'intervention des flottes “alliées” (de la Grèce) pour interrompre ce qu’il décrivait comme un ’‘génocide’’. Cela se passait il y a juste 100 ans, mais des chrétiens sont toujours assassinés en terre d'islam, dans l'indifférence officielle, la seule différence étant que, en 2022, on appelle ces meurtres “de i’islamophobie”. Un comble !

(NDLR. Une incidente un peu hors sujet : mon arrière grand père, pasteur luthérien hollandais, était Consul Général du royaume de Roumanie (autres temps, autres mœurs !). Il habitait une des plus belles villas sur “les quais” de Smyrne, encore connue sous le nom de “Maison Keun”. Elle a miraculeusement échappé aux flammes et c'est donc là que Mustapha Kémal s'est réfugié après le départ de la famille sur le croiseur-cuirassé “Edgar Quinet”… (sur lequel –je l'ai découvert il y a peu– servait alors Jean le Pen, père de Jean-Marie). Lorsqu'elle est devenue un musée (“Atatürk Musési”), j'ai abandonné mes droits (qui n’auraient sans doute jamais été reconnus, la Turquie étant... la Turquie !) et en ai fait don à la ville d’Izmir, ce qui a amené mon ami Suleiman Demirel, le dernier Président Turc fréquentable, à me faire citoyen d’honneur, ‘’Izmirli’’. Je n'en ai pas encore honte).  

Voilà pour la partie historique et la mobilisation de mes souvenirs. Mais c'est ensuite que ce récit se gâte … et risque de se gâter bien plus encore, dans les mois qui viennent. En effet, montant de plusieurs crans dans l’escalade verbale avec “l'ennemi éternel grec”, le président turc (totalement infréquentable, lui) Recep Tayyip Erdogan a prononcé samedi dernier un discours qui inquiète les Grecs au plus haut point : pour le satrape d'Ankara, les avions militaires grecs violent l’espace aérien turc et ne cessent de harceler(sic !) les avions turcs en mer Egée : “Si vous allez trop loin, le prix à payer sera lourd. Votre occupation des îles de la mer Egée [NB : proches de la Turquie] ne nous lie en rien : nous pouvons arriver subitement, la nuit, a-t-il menacé, selon une formule qu’il a souvent utilisée avant de lancer son opération contre les Kurdes, en Syrie. Ce fou s'est permis d'ajouter : ”Ô Grèce, regarde l’histoire, remonte le temps... et souviens-toi d’Izmir’’...

Cette déclaration ne doit rien au hasard : depuis plusieurs semaines, les tensions ont repris entre la Grèce et la Turquie, tous les deux membres de l’Otan (?), alors que les dirigeants des deux pays font face à des difficultés internes : le Premier ministre grec Kyriakos Mitsotakis (conservateur) est  fragilisé par une affaire d’écoutes, et le Président turc affronte une population de plus en plus inquiète par l'inflation galopante et la dévaluation de la Lire turque, chacun accusant l’autre de tous les maux… et les migrants restant pris en étau dans cette querelle. En outre, la découverte de gisements d’hydrocarbures en mer Egée offre à Erdogan une possibilité de contester le partage des eaux territoriales, alors que, à travers la minorité turque de Thrace, Ankara tente de revendiquer une extension de son territoire. En vérité, le satrape turc veut la révision des traités de Sèvres (1920) et de Lausanne (1923) qui fixent ses frontières. La situation est vraiment grave.

Depuis l’élection du Premier ministre grec Kyriakos Mitsotakis en juillet 2019, le “bras de fer” a redoublé d’intensité, Recep Tayyip Erdogan accusant même Athènes d’avoir saboté des ventes d’armes américaines à la Turquie. Le dialogue est rompu entre les deux voisins soi-disant alliés, au moment où, en 2021, la France a signé un accord de défense mutuelle avec la Grèce. En Mer Egée, la tension monte, les alliances risquent fort d’être mises à l’épreuve et nous sommes aux premières loges. Ce n'est pas seulement pour une évocation de mes ancêtres que j'ai cru utile d'évoquer aujourd'hui le récit de “La Catastrôphe”, mais parce qu'il arrive que l'Histoire repasse les plats ! Et une étincelle jaillit si facilement !
