There is a plethora of unexplained and possibly unexplainable details to this incident. But for myself just looking at what’s been made available to the public via the news and televised hearing of Mr. Holmes. I would not be at all surprised that he was “programmed”.
His Neuroscience grant points to a high probability that one of his government “minders”, (there’s always one around it seems like), spotted him as a good subject for grooming and aiming him in the direction that was needed. If he was borderline Paranoid Schizophrenic he could have been pushed over the edge with the right stimuli. Add in psychotropic drugs to ‘control’ that and you have a walking/talking candidate for the incident of your choice.
Add in the U.N.’s ATT Treaty and the Fast and Furious Meltdown. There was the ‘need’ for an incident featuring personal weapons aka ‘Guns’ and you have the kernel for a great political statement or at the least a movie.
I think that you are on to something. From the communist viewpoint, sacrificing a dozen or so sheep for the greater good makes perfect sense. They cannot gain complete control when so many people have the arms to resist. I think that one should remember that in the last free election held in Germany before WWII... Hitler had the support of only 34% of the population. Hitler established firm gun control in 1938. Team Obama knows that if they can disarm the citizens that they could take over this country.
