Yes, it was a very interesting day in the good ole Lone Star State yesterday. My DSIL was actually in downtown Beaumont eating lunch when TSHTF. Here's a bit more from my local paper.

BTW - while the brother of the alleged shooter was on local TV last night with a local Nation of Islam activitist saying his brother felt he could not get "justice" he was arrested by the Beaumont Chief of Police on an outstanding warrant for - wait for it - indecency with a child.

Oh my word, Quanell X stood there with egg on his face! It was a hoot!

Soldier accused in Afghan killings on his way to Kansas base


By the CNN Wire Staff

updated 9:51 AM EDT, Fri March 16, 2012

(CNN) -- The American staff sergeant accused of killing 16 Afghans was on his way to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, on Friday, his attorney told CNN.

The soldier has been in protective custody in Kuwait and was expected to arrive at Fort Leavenworth on Friday afternoon, said the soldier's civilian attorney, John Henry Browne.

Browne said he had spoken with his client Thursday and he seemed distant, like a deer in the headlights. Their conversation was curt because Browne said he did not believe the phone lines were secure.

But he said he was wary of why the soldier was deployed to Afghanistan after three tours of Iraq left him with mental and physical injury.

The soldier lost part of a foot in Iraq and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Browne said the screening for the concussion was minimal. The soldier was told that his brigade would not deploy again but that changed suddenly and he arrived at the base in Kandahar province not too long ago.

Family fears for soldier's safety
"I am confused why they would send him back to Afghanistan," Browne said. "There was no 'maybe he shouldn't go' discussion."

snip

In describing his latest client, Browne painted a picture of a decorated, career soldier who joined the military after the 2011 terrorist attacks and has spent all his Army life at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington. Browne called him a devoted husband and father to his two young children who never made any derogatory remarks about Muslims or Afghans.

snip

He also said that the day before the slayings, another soldier on that base had his leg shot off in front of the suspect.

"That affected the whole base," Browne said.

Yes, I realize this is the defense speaking and, yes, I also realize this is no way, shape or form justifies the murder of innocent men, women and children. However, it does speak, finally, to what happened prior to the shooting.

I believe we forget that our soldiers are human beings placed in extremely stressful situations over and over and over. Aren't three tours enough? How many tours are enough - five, seven, fifteen?

Why are American boys on any War front anyway???

To satisfy the cravings of addicted old men who act as their masters?

Robert Bales Charged: Military Scrambles To Limit Malaria Drug Just After Afghanistan Massacre
Posted: 03/25/2012 11:50 pm

WASHINGTON -- Nine days after a U.S. soldier allegedly massacred 17 civilians in Afghanistan, a top-level Pentagon health official ordered a widespread, emergency review of the military’s use of a notorius anti-malaria drug called mefloquine.

Mefloquine, also called Lariam, has severe psychiatric side effects. Problems include psychotic behavior, paranoia and hallucinations. The drug has been implicated in numerous suicides and homicides, including deaths in the U.S. military. For years the military has used the weekly pill to help prevent malaria among deployed troops.

The U.S. Army nearly dropped use of mefloquine entirely in 2009 because of the dangers, now only using it in limited circumstances, including sometimes in Afghanistan. The 2009 order from the Army said soldiers who have suffered a traumatic brain injury should not be given the drug.

snip

On March 20, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Jonathan Woodson ordered a new, urgent review to make sure that troops were not getting the drug inappropriately. The task order from Woodson, obtained by The Huffington Post, orders an immediate “review of mefloquine prescribing practices” to be completed by the following Monday, six days after the order was issued.

“Some deployed service members may be prescribed mefloquine for malaria prophylaxis without appropriate documentation in their medical records and without proper screening for contraindications,” the order says. It notes that this review must include troops at “deployed locations.”

Army and Pentagon officials would not say whether Bales took the drug, citing privacy rules. When asked if Woodson’s mefloquine review was a response to the massacre, the military in Afghanistan referred the question to the Army. Army officials said they were “unaware” of the review. After being shown the task order via email, they stopped responding. The Secretary of Defense Office referred questions to the Army -- and then back to medical officials in the secretary’s office. Those officials have not responded.

But the sudden violence and apparent cognitive problems related to the crime Bales is accused of mirrors other gruesome cases.

You sorry SOB's - if you gave this terrible medication to this man and this was the result -

But we all know that no one above his grade will EVER be brought to justice. Nope - gonna be swept under the rug and folks will just say "Oh well, post traumatic stress disorder" until another one of our soldiers walks the same path.

Lobbyists, Guns and Money

By PAUL KRUGMAN

Published: March 25, 2012

Florida’s now-infamous Stand Your Ground law, which lets you shoot someone you consider threatening without facing arrest, let alone prosecution, sounds crazy — and it is. And it’s tempting to dismiss this law as the work of ignorant yahoos. But similar laws have been pushed across the nation, not by ignorant yahoos but by big corporations.

Specifically, language virtually identical to Florida’s law is featured in a template supplied to legislators in other states by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a corporate-backed organization that has managed to keep a low profile even as it exerts vast influence (only recently, thanks to yeoman work by the Center for Media and Democracy, has a clear picture of ALEC’s activities emerged). And if there is any silver lining to Trayvon Martin’s killing, it is that it might finally place a spotlight on what ALEC is doing to our society — and our democracy.

snip

But where does the encouragement of vigilante (in)justice fit into this picture? In part it’s the same old story — the long-standing exploitation of public fears, especially those associated with racial tension, to promote a pro-corporate, pro-wealthy agenda. It’s neither an accident nor a surprise that the National Rifle Association and ALEC have been close allies all along.

snip

Yet that’s not all; you have to think about the interests of the penal-industrial complex — prison operators, bail-bond companies and more. (The American Bail Coalition has publicly described ALEC as its “life preserver.”) This complex has a financial stake in anything that sends more people into the courts and the prisons, whether it’s exaggerated fear of racial minorities or Arizona’s draconian immigration law, a law that followed an ALEC template almost verbatim.

Think about that: we seem to be turning into a country where crony capitalism doesn’t just waste taxpayer money but warps criminal justice, in which growing incarceration reflects not the need to protect law-abiding citizens but the profits corporations can reap from a larger prison population.

Now, ALEC isn’t single-handedly responsible for the corporatization of our political life; its influence is as much a symptom as a cause. But shining a light on ALEC and its supporters — a roster that includes many companies, from AT&T and Coca-Cola to UPS, that have so far managed to avoid being publicly associated with the hard-right agenda — is one good way to highlight what’s going on. And that kind of knowledge is what we need to start taking our country back.

7 dead, 3 hurt in Christian school shooting

OAKLAND, Calif. - Police say the gunman who shot and killed seven people at a California college was looking for a female administrator when he went to the building.

They also believe that teasing over his poor english skills could have triggered the shooting.

Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan said at a news conference on Tuesday morning that 43-year-old One L. Goh began randomly shooting people after learning the administrator was not there.

Seven people died in the shooting on Monday at Oikos University in Oakland and three others were wounded.

14 dead, 50 wounded in shooting at Colorado theater, police chief says
By Chelsea J. Carter, CNN

updated 7:50 AM EDT, Fri July 20, 2012

(CNN) -- A heavily armed gunman killed at least 14 people and wounded 50 more during an early Friday morning screening of the new Batman movie at an Aurora, Colorado, theater, police Chief Dan Oates told reporters.

Police arrested a man believed to be the shooter in a rear parking lot of the theater, Frank Fania, a police spokesman, told CNN. The suspect was not immediately identified, though Fania said he was believed to be in his early 20s.

"He did not resist. He did not put up a fight," Fania said. Police seized a rifle and a handgun from the suspect, and another gun was found in the theater, he said.
snip

Chaos broke out during the showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" at the Century Aurora 16 theater when the shooting began, police and witnesses said.

Witnesses told KUSA that the gunman kicked in an emergency exit door and threw a smoke bomb into the darkened theater before opening fire.

One movie-goer, who was not identified, told KUSA the gunman was wearing a gas mask.

Some people in the audience thought the thick smoke and gunfire was a special effect accompanying the movie, police and witnesses said.

"We just heard a pop, pop, pop, pop," said Quentin Caldwell, who was attending the Batman showing in an adjacent theater.

Cell phone video taken by someone at the theater showed scores of people screaming and fleeing the building. Some had blood on their clothes.

One police officer carried a girl believed to be about 9 with gunshot wounds to her back out of the theater, a witness said. "She wasn't moving."

Authorities also have evacuated the suspect's Aurora apartment building after "he made a statement about explosives" in his unit, Oates said.

Gunman turns 'Batman' screening into real-life 'horror film'
By Michael Pearson, CNN
updated 8:01 PM EDT, Fri July 20, 2012

(CNN) -- The suspect in the mass shooting at an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater screening of the new Batman film early Friday had colored his hair red and told police he was "the Joker," according to a federal law enforcement source with detailed knowledge of the investigation.

At least 12 people were killed in the rampage and 59 were wounded.

A mug shot of James E. Holmes has not been released. Witnesses to the shooting described him as wearing a gas mask that concealed much of his face and head. But the federal law enforcement source's information about the suspect's appearance fits with a statement from New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, who was briefed by Colorado authorities Friday.

The Joker has long been a fixture in Batman comics and was famously brought to life by the late Heath Ledger in 2008's "The Dark Knight," the predecessor to Friday's release of "The Dark Knight Rises." Ledger won a posthumous Academy Award for his sinister portrayal of the iconic villain who encourages anarchists to take over Gotham City.

Meanwhile, authorities were faced with the difficult task of entering Holmes' Aurora apartment, which was left rigged with traps.

"It's booby-trapped with various incendiary and chemical devices and trip wires," Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said, adding that it could take days to work through the apartment safely.

Five buildings around the apartment building were evacuated, Oates said.

Investigators don't expect a decision until Saturday about entering the apartment and what to do about the explosives inside, according to a law enforcement source.

Police say Holmes, 24, dressed head-to-toe in protective tactical gear, set off two devices of some kind before spraying the Century 16 theater with bullets from an AR-15 rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and at least one of two .40-caliber handguns police recovered at the scene.

Law enforcement sources said the weapons were purchased legally by Holmes at sporting goods stores in the Denver area over the past six months.

A receipt obtained by CNN shows Holmes bought some of the tactical gear, including a vest and magazine pouch, online on July 2.

Colorado Movie Theater Shooting: Suspect Bought 4 Guns, 6,000 Rounds of Ammunition in Past 60 Days
PHOTO: Mr. James Holmes was a PhD student at the University of Colorado Denver?s graduate program in neurosciences. (though he was in the process of withdrawing from the program).

Suspected Colorado movie theater gunman James Holmes purchased four guns at local shops and more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition on the Internet in the past 60 days, Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates told a news conference this evening.

"All the ammunition he possessed, he possessed legally, all the weapons he possessed, he possessed legally, all the clips he possessed, he possessed legally," an emotional Oates said.

The chief declined to say whether the weapons were automatic or semi-automatic, but "he could have gotten off 50 to 60 rounds, even if it was semi-automatic, within one minute," Oates said.

The number of casualties makes the incident the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.

Ed Perlmutter On Batman Shooting: Colorado Congressman Calls James Holmes 'A Psychotic Son Of A Bitch'

Colorado Rep. Ed Perlmutter addressed the Batman shooting during a radio interview Friday, responding to reports that 71 people were shot during a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora.

Perlmutter, whose district encompasses Aurora, had some choice words about James Holmes, calling the suspected shooter "a psychotic son of a bitch."

snip

Aurora may have been named one of the safest cities in the U.S. by Forbes magazine last year, but in the aftermath of the movie theater shooting that took 12 lives, gun control is obviously still an issue -- one that's near and dear to Perlmutter's heart. The moderate democrat first ran for Congress in 2006, pledging to support the revival of a federal assault weapons ban.

With Perlmutter up for re-election this year, facing Republican challenger and pro-gun advocate Joe Coors, gun control will likely be a salient issue in the congressional campaign for Colorado's 7th District.

Parts of the profile of the killer: quiet, studious, nice neighborhood, nice, religious family, loner, top student...

Suspect in Colorado Batman shooting was former PhD student, apartment rigged with , explosives

*** As part of the advanced program in Denver, a James Holmes had been listed as making a presentation in May about Micro DNA Biomarkers in a class named "Biological Basis of Psychiatric and Neurological Disorders." In academic achievement "he was at the top of the top," recalled Riverside Chancellor Timothy P. White. Holmes concentrated his study on "how we all behave," White added. "It's ironic and sad."

**** Jackie Mitchell, a furniture mover who lives several blocks from the suspect's apartment building in Colorado, said he had drinks with Holmes at a local bar on Tuesday night, though he gave no sign of being distressed or violent. After Holmes approached him "we just talked about football. He had a backpack and geeky glasses and seemed like a real intelligent guy, and I figured he was one of the college students," Mitchell said.

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/0 ... ootin.html



Colorado Batman shooting shows obvious signs of being staged

..... According to news reports, this sudden violent rampage was completely out of character for James Holmes, who was described as "shy."

.... "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).

(mind-control subject? part of an experiment?)

.... 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."

* 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.

snip

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?



Quoting Mike Adams, who wrote this article:


Mike goes on to say that Holmes was unemployed, collecting unemployment insurance. He questions how an unemployed student/former student was able to purchase what he claims amounts to over $20,000 in guns, ammo, and equipment. He then goes on to make the connection which came to my mind, though not on such a high level, that this has to do with gun control laws/legislation.

Agree to all points above, Ruts.

The gun folks are already frothing at the mouth. I was very disappointed when neither political candidate said one word about gun control after the shooting.

Two Glocks and an AR-15? Those weapons are used for only one thing - the murder of human beings.

My son, the High Sheriff, is totally against civilians possessing these weapons and the ammo that goes with them. In a lot of cities and towns, police are totally outgunned because of the proliferation of these types of weapons.

When I heard the Police Chief of Aurora say he purchased six thousand rounds of ammo - I was like - where did this kid get the money?

As pointed out above, it is interesting (at least to me) that he so calmly surrendered when he had a loaded Glock in the car.

Doesn't make sense - but then most violence doesn't.

Batman Shooting was foretold in the 1986 DARK KNIGHT COMIC by ZEN GARDNER

Blood on hands of Obama, Mitt and NRA!
Condolences are empty words - what actions are you gonna take?

By Editorial Board / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Saturday, July 21, 2012, 12:47 AM

The police chief in Aurora, Colo., said he is confident that massacre gunman James Holmes acted alone. The police chief was dead wrong.

Standing at Holmes’ side as he unleashed an AR-15 assault rifle and a shotgun and a handgun was Wayne LaPierre, political enforcer of the National Rifle Association.

Standing at Holmes’ side as he sprayed bullets and buckshot into a crowded movie theater were Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, a President and a would-be President, who have bowed to the NRA’s dictates and who responded to the slaughter Friday with revolting, useless treacle.

Standing at Holmes’ side as he murdered 12 and wounded 59 were the millions of zealots who would sooner see blood flow and lives end than have to check a box on a gun registration form.

In a vain claim of innocence, the fanatics will say Holmes is a monster and a maniac, that he fired and fired and fired as a man possessed. Each protestation clamps their fingers with his around the trigger.

Because they made sure that virtually everyone, Holmes included, has unfettered legal access to heavy weaponry. And they made sure he was permitted by law to drive to the kill scene with a fully loaded arsenal.

Such is the conscienceless extremism of America’s gun lovers that they accept wholesale slaughter as akin to a fatal highway pileup. Accidents happen, in their grotesque view, and so do mass killings by firearms.

Batman Colorado shooting: James Holmes fixated by altered states of mind

James Holmes, the alleged "Joker" gunman, described his fascination with altered states of mind in a lecture to other students (when he was 18), and dosed up on prescription medication before the atrocity, it emerged on Sunday.

The first video footage of the suspect showed him as an awkward, nervous 18-year-old giving a talk at a science summer camp in San Diego on "temporal illusions". It also emerged that in the days before the attack, Holmes, a cannabis smoker, joined a dating website seeking women for "sexy times" and also tried to join a gun club.

*****

After the massacre Holmes calmly told detectives he had taken 100mg of the prescription painkiller Vicodin, and identified himself as "The Joker". The same drug was found in the system of actor Heath Ledger when he died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in 2008. Ledger played The Joker in the previous Batman film The Dark Knight. Vicodin side-effects can include euphoria, paranoia and, in rare cases, hallucinations.

*****

Brad Garrett, a former FBI profiler, said: "I see someone who appears to be very high functioning. He has some significant mental health issue I believe."

*****

He spent the summer of 2008 working as a counsellor at Camp Max Straus, which offers activities such as horse riding for underprivileged children.

****

Holmes received a grant from the National Institutes of Health for his PhD. He had recently undergone an intense three-part oral exam, before withdrawing from the course.

*****

His profile posted on the dating website Match.com was headlined "Will you visit me in prison?"

*****

On June 25 he applied to join a private gun range, the $250 Lead Valley Range, in Byers, Colorado. Glenn Rotkovich, the owner, called to invite him for an orientation and got through to a "bizarre" voicemail message. "Looking back, and if I'd seen the movies, maybe I'd say it was like the Joker," Mr Rotkovich said.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... -mind.html


Looking at what we know so far about Holmes, there seems to be a change in recent behavior from the "trend" of his life prior to the weeks surrounding the shooting. He worked in a camp for handicapped kids; gave lectures to a science camp for kids, went so far in his PhD studies that he took a 3 day oral exam, then left the program. One thing I find interesting is that he received a grant from the NIH for his doctoral studies.....

The FBI former profiler says he seems to have mental health issues; he was on vicodin during the shooting...

Ruts - I can tell you some first year Ph.D. students have a very difficult time adjusting to the program.

Most of the Ph.D. candidates I have known are extremely intelligent. These folks made solid 4.0s in high school, during their baccalaurete years and in their Master's programs.

They then decide to take a Ph.D. One reason he may have decided to further his education may be reports that the only job he could get was at McDonalds.

Ph.D. candidates are urged to attend a different university so they can experience all that academia has to offer them. This may contribute to what happens to some of them.

Usually, they begin their program with 6 -9 hours of course work with another 3-6 hours of independent research. In addition, they become lab rats in a senior faculty member's lab.

Since it is reported he had an NIH grant, the pressures on him were extreme. I will bet you had had a Ruth L. Kirchstein Award:



http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-11-113.html

This is an extremely prestigous award and extremely competitive. See below for a link to the stipends, tuition and other payments to the awardees:

http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-11-067.html

When he applied for the fellowship, he had to have a "sponor" or someone in whose lab he could conduct his proposed research. See below from the first link above:



So this kid is in a deluxe pressure cooker. He arrives at University thinking he is hot stuff. He attends classes and then goes to the lab. He soon is yelled at by Research Assistants, Lab Techs, Post Docs and, possibly, the PI him/herself. He is made (deliberately) to feel like an imbecile.

Usually sponsors/mentors of this type of award have large labs with millions of dollars of research. Some call these "grant mills," if you will.

He thinks of himself as the elite of the elite only to find that is not so anymore. He is now at the bottom of the heap (again) and there are TONS of folks in this lab smarter than he ever dreams of being.

If there are ongoing experiments, he can't leave at 5:00 and go home. He must stay. He becomes sleep deprived; he no longer has weekends/holidays. He is married to the lab.

Now he took a three-part exam - this is the preliminary exam. This exam is usually 2 or 3 parts written (questions submitted by his thesis committee) and then the dreaded oral exam. This exam plus his grades are critical to his continuing in the program. Remember that at this level a C is considered a failure. Even Bs are frowned upon by committee members.

This is a great deal of stress for one so young. I've seen them commit suicide, leave school, and have sleeping and emotional problems.

I'm not trying to defend him in any way, shape or form. Just merely giving you a brief overview of what it is like.

Add to this a prestigious fellowship and you have pressures that most of us don't ever face.

What about this guy just being a successful product of the MKUltra machine!

And we are going to see more of this.... young people acting crazy!

We now have reports of the first cases of Zombie like behavior in Africa! Are they putting something in the water??? Yes - that is the case with chemical insanity.

But not this seemingly 'normal' citizines turning rouge! This is altered states or ALTERS taking control after being triggered.....


.:.

That is my opinion, Sky, and why I am looking at things that changed in his life prior to the massacre. I have seen the same scenario at Virginia Tech, and other such mass attacks. I believe that there is a "handler" who triggers him at a specified time, the methods of which I am not sure, but his behavior can be taken as a blueprint of how he was programmed, what he was programmed to do. I doubt that the investigation will reveal who was "guiding" him, or if it does, it will be squashed. Still waiting to hear if he was on anti-depressants.

I knew it!!

Defense: Shooting suspect was seeing psychiatrist

The former graduate student accused in the deadly Colorado movie theater shooting was being treated by a psychiatrist at the university where he studied, the first indication that he may have sought help before the rampage that killed 12 people and wounded 58.

Attorneys for James Holmes, 24, made the disclosure in a court motion Friday as they sought to discover the source of leaks to some media outlets that he sent the psychiatrist a package containing a notebook with descriptions of an attack.

The motion said the leaks jeopardized Holmes' right to a fair trial and violated a judge's gag order.

Holmes' lawyers added that the package contained communications between Holmes and his psychiatrist that should be shielded from public view. The document describes Holmes as a "psychiatric patient" of Dr. Lynne Fenton.

snip

The University of Colorado's website identified Fenton as the medical director of the school's Student Mental Health Services. An online resume stated that she sees 10 to 15 graduate students a week for medication and psychotherapy, as well as 5 to 10 patients in her general practice as a psychiatrist. Schizophrenia was listed as one of her research interests........Fenton worked for the U.S. Air Force in Texas as an acupuncturist before joining the University of Colorado in 2005.

snip

Holmes' appearance at his first court hearing on Monday stunned the victims' families and fueled speculation about the state of his mental health. His hair dyed a shocking comic-book shade of orange-red, he looked sleepy and, at times, inattentive.

Prosecutors said they didn't know if he was being medicated. Friday's defense motion, however, was the first confirmation from the defense that Holmes was seeing a psychiatrist and that he had sent a package to the doctor.

The package was seized by authorities on Monday after it was discovered in the mailroom at the university. It's unclear if it was sent before the attack.

snip

District Court Judge William Blair Sylvester has ordered all motions by prosecutors and the defense be filed under seal so they cannot be inspected by the public. Sylvester also ordered the university not to release records on Holmes.

More details on the court activities and on the psychiatrist here: http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Defe ... php#page-2

The article contains a call for states to go beyond the federal regulations that bar those who have been found mentally defective by a judge or who have been committed to a mental health institution from purchasing firearms. Some states have done so, instituting stiffer regulations; Colorado has not.

It also has details about the psychiatrist's history that throw shadows on her qualifications.

This story keeps getting more and more "interesting". I have verified this info as appearing in more than one news source. Connecting the dots by writers of articles is their own interpretation, but the essential facts are accurate.

LinkedIn profile shows Colorado Killer's Father builds predictive models for financial service fraud

According to his LinkedIn profile, James Holmes’s father, Dr. Robert Holmes, who received a PhD in Statistics in 1981 from the University of California at Berkeley, worked for San Diego-based HNC Software, Inc. from 2000 to 2002. HNC, known as a “neural network” company, and DARPA, beginning in 1998, have worked on developing “cortronic neural networks,” which would allow machines to interpret aural and visual stimuli to think like humans.

The cortronic concept was developed by HNC Software’s chief scientist and co-founder, Robert Hecht-Nielsen. HNC merged with the Minneapolis-based Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO), a computer analysis and decision-making company. Robert Holmes continues to work at FICO.

Robert Holmes brief bio at linked in states the following: “My educational background is in Mathematics and Statistics. My experience over the last 10 years at HNC and FICO has been in developing predictive models for financial services; credit & fraud risk models, first and third party application fraud models and internet/online banking fraud models.”

Management Experience: I am currently managing a team building Falcon Fraud Manager Credit card fraud models. I have also managed teams in the Telco and Identity Theft fraud areas.”

How interesting and coincidental is it that in the film The Dark Knight Rises Bane gets his hands on Software that is used to expose the fraud in Wall Street and literally guts the rich?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021030972

From another source:

Breaking: Colorado Massacre Linked To Historic Bank Fraud? YES! and this also follows the Batman Rising (Phoenix) plot perfectly!

Robert Holmes is currently the senior lead scientist with the American credit score company FICO….and will testify soon, to Senate, on LIBOR scandal. Robert Holmes algorithms were said to be used to discover this massive fraud scheme.

snip

It is just too coincidental to not be eerily synchronistic. This software has been said to be able trace the Trillions of Dollars that have just vaporized into thin air. All of the spending in theory could be traced to the exact bank accounts of the elite thugs who have stolen it. Now these Software insiders who may have information to nail corrupt officials have always wound up being fingered by intelligence agencies and many have died mysteriously.

snip

Just prior to the shooting in Aurora Colorado, where James Holmes the son of Robert Holmes the software developer allegedly killed 12 and injured over 50 others a scandalous report was issued in the United kingdom about the LIBOR scandal where it has been discovered that much of the wealth held by the so called 99 percent is being held in offshore accounts far away from the taxman and that there is software that is now being used to track and expose those who are abusing the system.

Makes you wonder if this is part of the PROMIS/INSLAW software or a modified version that is far more accurate and that the future is the exposure of criminal activity that would send the world into global civil unrest. Could it be that Robert Holmes was involved with the creation of such software models and that his son was programmed to kill in order to create a distraction from the fraud scandal that would rock the world?

Is this a strange revelation of the method where the scene in the movie is supposed to be some pretext for what may happen at the London Olympics? According to a blurb posted on Media Monarchy a scenario has already been put forward demonstrating that the motive of any attack on the 2012 Olympics would be to cover up the LIBOR scandal and destroy all the bank records. An attack on the Olympics would be a quick fix to exit the elite’s present dilemma.

According to Media Monarchy a retired general sent a chilling memo to Author Steve Quayle connecting the attacks in Cinema number 9 at the Century 16 theaters in Aurora to the LIBOR scandal, Robert Holmes software exposing the elites and how their quick fix would be the bombing of the London Olympics.
The general says that the attacks would be the impetus for the construction of the “New Jerusalem”:

“London Olympic Opening Ceremony Artistic Director Danny Boyle labeled the ceremony a reflection of “our green and pleasant land”—a reference to the song ‘Jerusalem’ —-famously sung in the movies Chariots of Fire and also sung at Prince William’s wedding. The song uses the words of William Blake’s poem, which suggests the new Jerusalem would be in England….”

There is a LOT going on here and the movie itself, "The Dark Knight Rises", is in itself a sort of predictive programming, based on financial scandals, Wall Street, heroes who expose the banksters, and a lot more. You really have to do more research than I can post here to begin to see all the threads that are making up the web of this "Smoke and Mirrors" event. Here are a couple of links for you to read to get a more in-depth idea of what is going on behind the scenes.

More on James Homes and DARPA

Holmes Family Has Deep DARPA Connections (excerpts)

James Holmes has had a number of links to U.S. government-funded research centers which has prompted police and federal law enforcement officials to order laboratories and schools with which Holmes has had a past association not to talk to the press about Holmes.

Holmes was one of six recipients of a National Institutes of Health Neuroscience Training Grant at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Denver..... Although Holmes dropped out of the PhD neuroscience program at Anschutz in June, police evacuated two buildings at the Anschutz center after the massacre at the Aurora movie theater.

The Anschutz Medical Campus is on the recently de-commisioned site of the U.S. Army’s Fitzsimons Army Medical Center.

at the age of 18, Holmes served as a research intern at the Salk Institute at the University of California...for the previous two years before Holmes worked at the Salk Institute, the research center was partnered with the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and other univesities and the Mars candy co. to prevent fatigue in combat troops through the enhanced use of epicatechina, a blood flow-increasing and blood vessel-dilating anti-oxidant flavanol found in cocoa and, particularly, in dark chocolate.

The research was part of a larger DARPA program known as the “Peak Soldier Performance Program,” which involved creating brain-machine interfaces for battlefield use, including human-robotic bionics for legs, arms, and eyes. DARPA works closely with the Defense Science Office on projects that include the medical research community.

In addition to his father, James Holmes' grandfather is Lt. Col. Robert Holmes, one of the first Turkish language graduates of the Army Language School, later the Defense Language Institute, in Monterey, California. Graduating from the Turkish language class in 1948, Holmes spent a career in the Army, which likely included more than a few intelligence-related assignments. Typically, U.S. military officers conversant in Turkish served with either the Defense Intelligence Agency or the Central Intelligence Agency.

Eerie Coincidence: Colorado University Had Identical Drill On Same Day As ‘Batman’ Massacre’

A Colorado university just 16 miles away from the site of Friday morning’s deadly ‘Batman’ massacre staged an identical exercise the very same day in which students were trained how to react to a gunman firing at people in a movie theater.

Amidst specialized classes in disaster life support for 150 second-year medical students, one of the scenarios being used to train the students is how to respond if a shooter fires at people in a movie theater and also uses a bomb in the attack,” reports the Denver Post.

The added detail of a bomb being used in the drill makes the similarity with the shooting even more creepy given the fact that gunman James Holmes used a smoke bomb during his deadly assault..... The shootings in Aurora were actually incorporated into the training at the University which took place just hours after the massacre.

Other parallels include a 1986 Batman cartoon in which “a crazed, gun-toting loner walks into a movie theater and begins shooting it up.”

As Angus Hogwarth notes, there are numerous other paralells with the Batman series involving acts of violence taking place in theaters.

In another shocking coincidence, a trailer that preceded The Dark Knight Rises for a movie called Gangster Squad shows gangsters emerging from behind the screen to shoot up a movie theater. Warner Brothers were forced to desperately pull the trailer within hours of the Aurora shooting.
