Has Batman replaced The Catcher in the Rye as a trigger for mind control assassins?
A curious theme running through several recent shootings seems to be a connection to the Batman comic book franchise, a coincidence which runs parallel with CIA mind-controlled assassins of the past being found with copies of the book The Catcher in the Rye.
A recent shooting in Las Vegas appears to be the work of two crazed Batman fans. The Facebook pages of Jerad and Amanda Miller, the two accused shooters who allegedly killed two police officers inside a Cici’s Pizza in Las Vegas, as well as a Walmart patron, are littered with photos of the married couple dressed as Batman villain The Joker and his love interest and criminal accomplice Harley Quinn.
Similarly, on July 20, 2012, James Holmes walked into a theater in Aurora, Colorado, and threw smoke grenades into an audience before unloading a hail of bullets, killing 12 people. Patrons had flocked to watch the latest Batman flick, “The Dark Knight Rises,” and many publications claimed Holmes painted his hair red as a reference to the Joker in a scene from “The Dark Knight.”
After the shooting, multiple witnesses claimed they saw accomplices aid Holmes, and once incarcerated, an inmate housed with the accused shooter claimed Holmes complained about an “evil” therapist who had “programmed” him to kill.
Holmes was also linked to DARPA-funded research into neuroscience programs at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Denver, and while attending the Salk Institute of Biological Studies in San Diego, he also designed a computer program using flicker fusion, a science examining how light flicker rates affect human behavior.
