Colorado shooting is a classic false/false flag operation



Within hours of the first news reports of the tragic shooting incident in Aurora, Colorado the first claims that it bore the hallmarks of a planned FBI/CIA operation began to surface. The message boards of the internet are alive with claims and counter claims centred around some of the most apparently trivial features of this event. Questions are being raised about the level of sophistication of the weaponry used, the design and construction of the booby traps at the perpetrators apartment, the use of tactical body armour, the response time of the Aurora police, the shift in the news story about a possible accomplice, every detail is being raked over and analysed, and it is in this that we find the real conspiracy here. Lets start with a few of the facts. James Holmes, the man arrested in the car park of the movie theatre in Aurora is an unemployed medical researcher with no criminal record other than a speeding ticket. He enjoyed computer games and particularly online role playing games. It appears that he arrived at the midnight showing of the new Batman film The Dark Knight Rises, parked his car in the parking lot of the theatre and prepared for his assault.

He was dressed in military issue ballistic protection clothing including gas mask bullet proof vest, leg and throat protection and military issue boots. He entered the theatre by the emergency exit, reportedly announcing “I am the Joker” before throwing a gas cannister into the auditorium and opening fire on the crowd. He was armed with an AR-15 assault rifle, two 0.40 Glock pistols and a semi-automatic pump action shotgun with multiple spare clips of ammunition. Immediately after the shooting he left the theatre and waited for the police next to his car. He surrendered to police without struggle and made no effort to resist. The police arrived at the scene within three minutes of the start of the incident, the police station being very close to the theatre. The suspect volunteered to the police the information that his apartment was rigged with booby traps, and gave them detailed information about them. Reporters on the scene were told that there may have been an accomplice but this story changed to a lone gunman story after a team from the local FBI office arrived.

So, on the surface we have a standard lone gunman rampage of the type that has been seen many times over the last thirty or so years in the US, yet there are a few potential questions to be answered. There are questions over the ability of a relatively poor medical researcher being able to purchase the equipment that he used. Estimates suggest that he would have spend in the order of $10,000 to $20,000 to amass the equipment, but this is not unachievable on credit if we believe that he intended not to survive the incident. There are also questions about the availability of the body armour that he used with suggestions that it was military issue and not available to the general public, but a quick study of the recent comic-con will demonstrate any number of cosplay fans dressed in many varieties of body armour from a range of comics and video games, so again this is not unusual. There are questions about the speed of the police response, but it should be noted that the local police office is two streets over from the theatre and that the journey between the two locations at midnight is a matter of moments. With regard to the change of story from a potential accomplice to a lone gunman this is a fairly standard response to media interest in an ongoing situation of this nature. The standard police procedure is to presume the possibility of multiple protagonists until such time as evidence to the contrary emerges.

So, why do I suggest that this is a false/false flag operation? The principle of a false flag operation is that an official body such as the CIA carries out an operation under the guise of some other group, as is the prevalent theory about the 9/11 plane hijackings. A false/false flag operation would be one in which in the aftermath of an event such as the theatre shooting, enough unanswered questions are left to suggest that it might in fact be a false flag operation. The purpose of this is to give the impression, through the online conspiracy community that the FBI/CIA intelligence axis is an all powerful controlling force thereby increasing fear and anxiety and allowing yet more anti-freedom controls.

This latest incident is almost certainly an example of a tragic individual with an undiagnosed delusional dissociative disorder, probably triggered by exposure to fantasy role playing games over prolonged periods and exaggerated by self imposed sleep deprivation whilst playing online games, combined with the easy availability of legal firearms and ammunition and the prevalence of tactical and weapon information online. It will be interesting to see how the story develops, and the ways in which it is used by the various interested parties to spread fear, and in which direction that fear is directed. What is interesting is that unlike previous spree killings of this type in the US the perpetrator has been caught rather than committing suicide or being gunned down in a shootout with police. This mirrors the Norwegian Breivik case and allows for at least the possibility of an understanding of the motives and triggers of spree killers.

Never forget that you are as likely to read government propaganda on a conspiracy website as you are to see it on Fox news. Trust no-one, question everything, the truth is an elusive beast.
