Mass murder and technological possession

The recent mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, by Robert Card, a veteran, but significantly one who was never deployed in combat, is strange in its similarity to other mass murders over the past few years. He murdered 18 people before leading police in a manhunt. News outlets initially reported that he had been found dead with two gunshot wounds. This story was later changed to a single gunshot wound, and was labeled a suicide. Card was reported to have never had a history of mental heath issues until this past summer, when he abruptly reported hearing ā€œvoicesā€. Check out how his sister-in-law described Card:

ā€œHe truly believed he was hearing people say things. This all just happened within the last few months,ā€Ā Katie Oā€™Neill, who is married to Cardā€™s brother, told the Daily Beast Thursday.

ā€œI have known Rob my whole life. He is quiet but the most loving, hardworking, and kind person that I know. But in the past year, he had an acute episode of mental health,ā€ she added.

Sudden-onset schizo paranoia, followed by a premeditated mass murder? Plenty of evidence suggests that his killing spree was meticulously planned. It was not spur of the moment. Surveillance images show a now-familiar scene: A man armed with a legally-obtained AR-style rifle, a purpose-driven posture, and the ability to kill erratically-moving targets with skill.

 

NOW. Here is another story you may not have heard about. This involves a would-be mass murderer, but one who took his own life just before he could commit his heinous act. Here is an excerpt of theĀ storyĀ , and I urge you to read it all:

A heavily armed man killed himself rather than carry out an apparent plan to shoot up a mountaintop amusement park in Colorado, his body discovered in a bathroom next to words scrawled on the wall, ā€œI am not a killer,ā€ authorities said Monday.

Diego Barajas Medina, 20, was found dead in a women’s bathroom at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park by a maintenance crew on Saturday morning, before the park opened to the public. He died of a self-inflected gunshot wound to the head, Garfield County Coroner Robert Glassmire said.

Medina apparently entered the park while it was closed, armed with an AR-style rifle, a semi-automatic handgun and explosives and was wearing body armor and tactical clothing, similar to what a police SWAT team member might wear, authorities said.

A message saying, ā€œI am not a killer, I just want to get into the caves,ā€ was written on a wall of the bathroom where Medina’s body was found lying on the floor, Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario said. Nearby was a handgun and explosive devices, some real and some fake, he said. The AR-style rifle was on a counter nearby along with a duty belt holding several ammunition magazines.

Vallario could not say for certain that Medina wrote the message.

There were no prior indications, either at home or school, suggesting he was planning an attack, Vallario said. But the sheriff noted that investigators have not conducted any in-depth interviews yet. The FBI will help review Medina’s phone records and social media postings as part of the investigation, he said.

ā€œGiven the preparation, given the amount of weapons and ordinance he had it almost seemed very highly likely he intended to use those against the community. He chose not to,ā€ Vallario said.

 

This latter story is horrific. Something clearly was compelling this good young man to commit an act of mass murder, but he was able to overcome it temporarily, just long enough to take his own life. We probably wonā€™t hear much in the news about Diego Medina, whose family is assuredly shattered with torment and grief. But his family must attempt to find out why this happened to their son. Cardā€™s family must try to find out why he abruptly committed mass murder. This just doesnā€™t happen out of the blue.

My theory: these killers and would-be killers are unknowing participants in a psychological experiment, MK-Ultra style. Were they slipped drugs from the bleeding edge of a government research lab? Who is the little Oppenheimer overseeing these ā€œpatientsā€? Has an institution or intelligence agency cracked technological possession, i.e. the ability to temporarily slip the consciousness of a killer inside another body? Yeah, sounds like crazy talk. I am aware. But these are questions that should be asked, particularly when a pattern develops. When men, women, and children of disparate backgrounds suddenly drop everything and commit a massacre in an almost identical fashion, we need to ask questions. The Vegas massacre, the various school shootings, the massacres occurring at random locations, even the Norway massacre and New Zealand mosque killings, all exhibit ominous parallels that deserve sunlight.

Should these people receive $3 billion in US military aid each year?

I commend the attitude of anyone who rejects foreign interference, but I wonder how they would feel if it also meant a halt to $3 billion as well as an ending of the US war guarantees? Also, ā€œwhoā€™s Netanyahu?ā€

Who is really teaching their young to hate?

Iā€™ve heard it so many times: Muslims, Palestinians, Iranians, et cetera, they all teach their children to hate Israel. And Iā€™m sure to some extent itā€™s true. But it this behavior really confined to a single side?
