The leader of the FRC promptly accuses the SPLC of inspiring the crime (which I find ironic and hilarious, given that the SPLC accuses any two people to the right of Barney Frank of being a "hate group") and the right wing media goes into a state of apoplexy.
Yeah, none of this is fishy at all.
UPDATE: Remember that College Station shooter, who miraculously happened to shoot a passing Democratic activist in a hotly contested district? Well, guess where Ashley Todd -she of the faked Obama kinfe attack is from? College Station, TX. http://austinist.com/2008/10/24/college_station_mccain_worker_fakes.php
Good call, Mr Knowles. I really wish I could put my finger on what exactly is going on and what the purpose of these shootings are. Other than what we discussed the other day, an attempt to increase gun sales and flood the country with guns getting more and more of them in to the hands of the unhinged righties, I really cant make sense of it, but that theory seems to be the best one yet and it does make a lot of sense when you couple that with all the rhetoric coming from right wing radio about race wars, gays poisoning society and whites getting the shaft from immigrants and other minorities, it really seems there are plans in place to start some sort of civil/cultural war and those with the most guns will be left standing, in this case the religious right and NRA types.
Let me ask you this (or anyone for that matter) I noticed you (CLK) mentioned you didnt really believe in Manchurian Candidates and I am not entirely sure I do either, at least in the popular, hollywood sense of it. So, if these people are not mind controlled Manchurians as such, how would whoever is behind this get them to commit these crimes? I guess if they were to find a mentally ill person it wouldnt take too much to set them up as a patsy or even a shooter, someone like Holmes for example, but I am just having a hard time understanding how this would work especially for the ones who dont kill themselves as it cannot be easy to get someone to do this knowing they will then spend the rest of their lives in prison and also they would seem to pose a risk to their handlers if they were to talk later.
So, I ask, how do you see this type of thing playing out, how do they recruit and convince people to do these are in fact manufactured events and how do they later prevent those people from talking an fingering their handlers/programmers?
I am very familiar with MKUltra and all of that and I have a solid understanding of what mind control is and what they are capable of doing with it, but never having experienced anything like that myself or seen or known anyone under the influence of it, it is very hard for me to wrap my mind around it so hearing others explain how they thing this works, how these people are turned in to mass shooters and assassins, is always helpful and interesting and I would appreciate any comments wrt that from any of you here on RI.
One final question for you, CLK, I know you have said on your blog that you try and not draw conclusions until you have all the facts at your disposal, but given what you do have at the moment do you think Holmes was the shooter or was he just a patsy covering for another shooter or shooters who escaped in the midst of all the chaos afterwards? Personally I think Holmes was involved in some neuroscience experiments at that school (we know the family who supports that program financially has shady ties for example) and he was somehow turned in to a patsy due to this. Its like the Unabomber, we know he was used in mind control experiments while in college at Harvard and many researches now believe this played a big role in what he became.
