Colorado Batman shooting shows obvious signs of being
staged
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) James Holmes, the Aurora, Colorado shooter
who reportedly opened fire at a Batman movie premiere, was a medical student at
the University of Colorado, pursuing a PhD in neuroscience, reports ABC News.
(http://abcnews.go.com/US/mass-shooting-colorado-movie-theater-14-peop...)
As part of the attack, Holmes painted his hair red and
referred to himself as "The Joker," one of the arch enemies in the DC
Comics-inspired Batman movie series.
(http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/07/20/police-14-dead-in-colorado-the...)
According to news reports, this sudden violent rampage
was completely out of character for James Holmes, who was described as
"shy."
The New York Times is now reporting:
Billy Kromka, a pre-med student at the University of
Colorado, Boulder, worked with Mr. Holmes for three months last summer as a
research assistant in a lab of at the Anschutz Medical Campus. Mr. Kromka said
he was surprised to learn Mr. Holmes was the shooting suspect. "It was
just shocking, because there was no way I thought he could have the capacity to
do commit an atrocity like this," he said.
(http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/21/us/colorado-mall-shooting.html?page...)
"He spent much of his time immersed in the computer,
often participating in role-playing online games..."
There is already conjecture that James Holmes may have
been involved in mind-altering neuroscience research and ended up becoming
involved at a depth he never anticipated. His actions clearly show a strange
detachment from reality, indicating he was not in his right mind. That can only
typically be accomplished through drugs, hypnosis or trauma (and sometimes all
three).
His behavior doesn't add up
His behavior already reveals stark inconsistencies that
question the mainstream explanation of events. For example, he opened fire on
innocent people but then calmly surrendered to police without resistance. This
is not consistent with the idea of "killing everyone."
Furthermore, he then admitted to police that his
apartment was booby-trapped with explosives. If you were really an evil-minded
Joker trying to kill people (including cops), why would you warn them about the
booby trap in advance? It doesn't add up.
"Holmes was taken into custody shortly after the
shooting, police said, adding he didn't resist when he was arrested,"
reports a local CBS news affiliate
(http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/07/20/police-14-dead-in-colorado-the...).
"After his arrest, Holmes told police about
'possible explosives in his residence,' Oates said. When police searched his
apartment, they discovered it was booby-trapped and evacuated surrounding
buildings, police said. Oates said bomb technicians are determining how to
disarm flammable or explosive material in the third-floor apartment. He said
police could be there some time."
None of this checks out. If you're a killer bent on
causing mayhem, why tell the police about your surprise bomb waiting for them back
at your apartment?
Holmes was clearly provided with exotic gear (and
bomb-making skills)
Continuing from CBS:
"He said pictures from inside the apartment are
fairly disturbing and the devices look to be sophisticated, adding the
booby-traps were 'something I've never seen.' One rifle, two handguns, a knife,
a bullet proof vest, a ballistic helmet, a gas device, a gas mask, military
SWAT clothing and unidentified explosives were also found in Holmes' car, a law
enforcement source told CBS News. Oates said Holmes wore a gas mask, a
ballistic helmet and vest as well as leg, groin and throat protectors during
the shooting."
Added on July 22nd: "He allegedly wore a helmet, a
throat guard, a ballistic vest, ballistic leggings and gloves and was dressed
in black."
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/explosives-removed-from-james-...)
In other words, this guy was equipped with exotic gear by
someone with connections to military equipment. SWAT clothing, explosives,
complex booby-traps... c'mon, this isn't a "lone gunman." This is
somebody who was selected for a mission, given equipment to carry it out, then
somehow brainwashed into getting it done.
"Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said Holmes'
apartment is booby-trapped with a 'sophisticated' maze of flammable devices. It
could take hours or days for authorities to disarm it," reports Yahoo News
(http://sg.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/suspect-neuroscience-phd-stu...).
UPDATE: (This section added to the story Saturday at 2:30
pm central, July 21, 2012). It is now being reported that exotic, advanced
booby-traps have been disarmed at the apartment of James Holmes. The Denver
affiliate of CBS News is now reporting:
(http://denver.cbslocal.com/2012/07/21/officials-expect-explosions-as-...)
Officials say they have removed all major threats at the
booby-trapped apartment of the Aurora movie theater shooting suspect on
Saturday. They have used a robot to go inside James Holmes' apartment. ...They
were able to disable a trip wire that was set to go off when the apartment door
was opened. "This is some serious stuff that our team is dealing
with..."
Shortly before noon crews were successful performing a
controlled detonation... More controlled detonations were possible.
...there were multiple trip wires throughout the
apartment. Investigators have also seen what appear to be mortars planted in
the apartment -- sort of the kind of mortars that might be seen in a commercial
fireworks show. Up to a half dozen of them are scattered around.
...they have seen a number of inflated balloons in the
apartment... with many appearing to be filled with a powder. Also linked
together are bottles of liquid. ...a strong smell of gasoline emanating from
the apartment.
...several boxes on top of the refrigerator and there are
lights flashing on the boxes.
...30 aerial shells (fireworks) commercially legally
available for purchase. ...the suspect may have filled them with smokeless
powder. ...entering the apartment would have caused a trip wire to trigger one
liquid container to pour/mix with another. When the two mix together, they set
off the main charge of the device which may be additional flammable liquids.
...an enormously dangerous mission. About 100 personnel
are on scene.
And the BBC is now reporting:
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18937726)
Technicians made a first attempt on Friday to disarm the
traps, believed to include explosives, but withdrew when it became clear the
property was too dangerous to enter. Sgt Carlson said the device was set up to
detonate when the first person entered the flat. "We've defeated first
threat. It was set up to kill, and that could have been police officers or
anything," she said.
"In addition to the shells found in the apartment,
jars of a kind of accelerant were also found inside the dwelling, said Aurora
Police Sgt. Cassidee Carlson."
(http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000087239639044446430457754103267932...)
"Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates expressed frustration on Friday with the
web of wires and devices Mr. Holmes had connected inside his apartment, which
were hindering the investigation into the shooting. ...It was unlike anything
he had seen before."
FBI has a track record of staging similar assaults, then
stopping them at the last minute
This is not your run-of-the-mill crime of passion. It was
a carefully planned, heavily funded and technically advanced attack. Who might
be behind all this? The FBI, of course, which has a long history of setting up
and staging similar attacks, then stopping them right before they happen. See
four documented stories on these facts:
http://www.naturalnews.com/035849_domestic_terror_plots_FBI.html
http://www.naturalnews.com/034325_FBI_entrapment_terror_plots.html
http://www.naturalnews.com/033751_FBI_terrorism.html
http://www.naturalnews.com/035757_FBI_terror_plots_false_flag.html
As you soak all this in, remember that the FBI had
admitted to setting up terror plots, providing the weapons and gear, staging
the location of the bombings and even driving the vehicles to pull it off! This
is not a conspiracy theory, it's been admitted by the FBI right out in the
open. Even the New York Times openly reports all this in stories like this one:
NYT: Terrorist Plots, Hatched by the F.B.I. (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/opinion/sunday/terrorist-plots-help...)
THE United States has been narrowly saved from lethal
terrorist plots in recent years -- or so it has seemed. A would-be suicide
bomber was intercepted on his way to the Capitol; a scheme to bomb synagogues
and shoot Stinger missiles at military aircraft was developed by men in
Newburgh, N.Y.; and a fanciful idea to fly explosive-laden model planes into
the Pentagon and the Capitol was hatched in Massachusetts. But all these dramas
were facilitated by the F.B.I., whose undercover agents and informers posed as
terrorists offering a dummy missile, fake C-4 explosives, a disarmed suicide
vest and rudimentary training. ...the F.B.I. provided a van loaded with six
55-gallon drums of "inert material," harmless blasting caps, a
detonator cord and a gallon of diesel fuel to make the van smell flammable. An
undercover F.B.I. agent even did the driving...
Comment added for clarification: I'm on the record
saying, in the video posted below, that the FBI is "80% good guys"
and "20% bad guys," which is typical for almost any law enforcement
organization. Most FBI men and women are working in the interests of upholding
the law. It's only a relatively small number who engage in the kind of
terrorism training mentioned by the New York Times, above.
Mystery man Holmes has no background
On top of all this, Holmes apparently has no background.
"He's not on anybody's radar screen -- nothing," said a peace officer
in a NYT article. "This guy is somewhat of an enigma. Nobody knows
anything about him."
(http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/21/us/colorado-mall-shooting.html)
Mr. Holmes's only criminal history is a traffic summons,
the authorities said. He earned a bachelor's degree with honors in neuroscience
in 2010 from the University of California, Riverside, and was a graduate
student in neurosciences at the University of Colorado at Denver's Anschutz
Medical Campus... He was currently collecting unemployment...
Question: How does an unemployed medical student afford
$20,000 in weapons gear?
If you start to look at the really big picture here, the
obvious question arises: How does an unemployed medical student afford all the
complex weapons gear, bomb-making gear, "flammable" booby trap
devices, ammunition, multiple magazines, bullet-proof vest, groin protection,
ballistic helmet, SWAT uniform and all the rest of it?
Added July 22nd: "Police said Holmes spent months
amassing explosives, weapons and ammunition." (http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/explosives-removed-from-james-...)
A decent AR-15 rifle costs $1,000 or more all by itself.
The shotgun and handgun might run another $800 total. Spare mags, sights,
slings, and so on will run you at least another $1,000 across three firearms.
The bullet-proof vest is easily another $800, and the cost of the bomb-making
gear is anybody's guess. With all the specialty body gear, ammunition,
booby-trap devices and more, I'm guessing this is at least $20,000 in weapons and
tactical gear, much of which is very difficult for civilians to get in the
first place. Comment added: Don't forget the cost of all the training
(thousands of dollars) and the bomb-making equipment. Holmes reportedly had 30
improvised grenades, mortars, binary liquids that explode when mixed, wires,
exotic bomb equipment... this gets expensive very quickly (even if you can
source this equipment!).
The mere manufacture of an explosive booby-trap device
is, all by itself, a felony crime by the way. And remember: "Aurora Police
Chief Dan Oates said Holmes' apartment is booby-trapped with a 'sophisticated'
maze of flammable devices. It could take hours or days for authorities to
disarm it," reported Yahoo News (http://sg.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/suspect-neuroscience-phd-stu...).
Question: Where does an unemployed, introverted medical
school student get the training to deploy sophisticated booby traps, tactical
body armor, weapons systems and more? Certainly not in graduate school!
All this leads to an obvious third party influence over
all this. Someone else taught this guy these skills and funded the acquisition
of the equipment.
Update: An article posted on Sunday by the Daily Mail
reveals Holmes had a "'mind-boggling' stash of ammunition" and
"three types of explosives were found - jars filled with accelerates,
chemicals that would explode when mixed together and more than 30 improvised
grenades." This further adds to the financial cost tally of what it took
to put all this together. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2177156/James-Holmes-Dark-Kni...)
The Wall Street Journal is also now reporting: "the
suspect bought four guns over the past 60 days, and over the Internet bought
3,000 rounds for an assault rifle, 3,000 rounds for Glock handguns and about
300 shotgun rounds. The suspect also had a 100-round drum-style magazine for
the assault rifle that would have allowed him to fire 50 to 60 rounds a
minute."
(http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000087239639044446430457754103267932...)
Note: Some readers have questioned the $20,000 figure
estimated here, saying this gear could have been acquired for only $10,000 or
so. I doubt that, as all the extras that you need to effectively run these guns
cost a lot of money: training courses, spare magazines, etc. Just a decent
AR-15 battle sight (a holographic red dot sight) can run $1,000 - $2,000.
Search "ACOG" if you don't believe me. It is also reported that
Holmes bought 6,000 rounds of ammo, which definitely isn't cheap either,
especially given that we now know half of those rounds were rifle rounds. It's
clear this guy was spending big bucks. Whether it's $10k or $20k isn't really
that much of a point.
Staged just in time for a vote on the UN small arms
treaty?
More and more, this shooting is looking like a deliberate
plot staged by the government itself much like Operation Fast and Furious
pulled off by the ATF
(http://www.naturalnews.com/032934_ATF_illegal_firearms.html) which helped
smuggle tens of thousands of guns into Mexico for the purpose of causing
"gun violence" in the USA, then blaming the Second Amendment for it.
All this looks like James Holmes completed a
"mission" and then calmly ended that mission by surrendering to
police and admitting everything. The mission, as we are now learning, was to
cause as much terror and mayhem as possible, then to have that multiplied by
the national media at exactly the right time leading up the UN vote next week
on a global small arms treaty that could result in gun confiscation across
America. (http://lewrockwell.com/eddlem/eddlem61.1.html)
Even Forbes.com wrote about this quite extensively,
warning readers about the coming gun confiscation effort related to the UN
treaty. The story was authored by Larry Bell
(http://www.forbes.com/sites/larrybell/2011/06/07/u-n-agreement-should...) and
says the UN treaty could "override our national sovereignty, and in the
process, provide license for the federal government to assert preemptive powers
over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to
our Second Amendment rights."
In other words, this has all the signs of Fast &
Furious, Episode II. I wouldn't be surprised to discover someone in Washington
was behind it all. After all, there's no quicker way to disarm a nation and
take total control over the population than to stage violence, blame it on
firearms, then call for leaders to "do something!" Such calls
inevitably end up resulting in gun confiscation, and it's never too long after
that before government genocide really kicks in like we saw with Hitler,
Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and other tyrants.
Governments routinely murder millions
Here's a short list of government mass murder carried out
throughout history, almost always immediately following the disarmament of the
public (and usually involving staged false flag events to justify the
disarmament):
50+ million dead: Mao Ze-Dong (China, 1958-61 and
1966-69, Tibet 1949-50)
12+ million dead: Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1939-1945) -
concentration camps, civilian deaths and dead Russian POWs
8+ million dead: Leopold II of Belgium (Congo, 1886-1908)
6+ million dead: Jozef Stalin (USSR, 1932-39)
5+ million dead: Hideki Tojo (Japan, 1941-44)
2+ million dead: Ismail Enver (Turkey, 1915-22)
1.7 million dead: Pol Pot (Cambodia, 1975-79)
1.6 million dead: Kim Il Sung (North Korea, 1948-94)
1.5 million dead: Menghistu (Ethiopia, 1975-78)
1 million dead: Yakubu Gowon (Biafra, 1967-1970)
900,000 dead: Leonid Brezhnev (Afghanistan, 1979-1982)
800,000 dead: Jean Kambanda (Rwanda, 1994)

A "monopoly of force" in government is far more
dangerous than a crazed lone shooter
So yes, James Holmes and other crazed shooters kill a
number of people each year in random acts of violence. It's horrifying and
wrong, but it's nothing compared to the millions of lives that governments tend
to destroy when they gain total power over the populace.
The most dangerous thing in the world, it turns out, is
not a crazy person with a rifle; it's a government with a "monopoly of
force" over the entire population. And that's exactly what the UN spells
out as its goal for the world: Stripping all power from individual citizens and
handing "monopolies of force" to the governments of the world,
shoring up their positions as the only "legitimate" power on the
planet.
See this document entitled, "Geneva Centre for the
Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF)" policy paper No. 24:
http://www.naturalnews.com/files/Revisiting-the-State-Monopoly-on-the...
As this document reveals, a table entitled
"Governance solutions for reasserting the state monopoly on the use of
force" lists the options available to governments to re-establish
"monopolies of force" against their own people:
• (Re-)establish state monopoly
- Ownership of WMDs
- Safety Inspectorates
• Prohibit business activity
- Justice and Execution
- Deadly Force?
• Regulate/limit activities
- Private defense/security services
- Control of financial transfers
- Export controls
- Transport and infrastructure safety
- Environmental impact
Interestingly, that document also describes
"terrorism" in a way that perfectly matches the Aurora, Colorado
"Batman" movie theater shooter:
Terrorists aim to spread panic and fear in societies in
order to achieve political goals, be they based on left- or right-wing,
social-revolutionary, nationalistic or religious ideologies. They are organized
in a clandestine way, most often in small groups and cells... Typical tactical
means include kidnapping, hostage-taking, sabotage, murder, suicide attacks,
vehicle bombs and improvised explosive devices.
A global monopoly of force
This document is a goldmine of information about the
globalist agenda to disarm and enslave the population. Check out page 28, which
reads:
The legitimate monopoly of force should not be limited to
the nation-state but should be based on the local, national, regional and the
global levels.
Global Security Governance and the Monopoly of Force
At the global level no monopoly of violence exists. The
UN Security Council already has a monopoly power to authorize the use of force
at the global level, although the UN was never given the necessary means to
exercise this authority, such as the capacity to implement sanctions, a police
force and armed forces...
This deficiency in global governance acts as a bottleneck
and a barrier to the creation of the democratically legitimized monopoly of
violence that is globally required.
