James Holmes in the News
The Internet is coughing news about the Colorado Theater Shooter. Sometimes misleading, or wrong conclusions and then apologizing (like ABC as an example) other times leading toward certain areas of governmental or private institutions. While other news deal with gun laws and anarchic permissions to own a gun, not an army equipments used in combat in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and Yemen. Other news, however, discuss the issue of intillegence issue and IQ level of the persons commit this horrible mass killing.
Mass killing in the past occurred in history, since Herman Webster Mudgett (May 16, 1861 – May 7, 1896), who was better known under the alias of Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, was one of the first documented American serial killers in the modern sense of the term.
Many gave terms like to the event as belong to mass murderers, spree Killers, serial Killers, and the Visionary killers or the Mission-Oriented or Hedonistic Killers. But none describe the guy yet. May be he has a new type of killers produced by the top rank civilization, the United States and Norway. (The man who killed 77 people in a bomb and gun rampage in Norway one year ago, In Norway, Anders Behring Breivik is on trial on charges of voluntary homicide and committing acts of terror in the July 22, 2011 attacks. And his verdict is expected August 24.
American politicians and civil (patriotic) organizations like Norwegians will observe a minute of silence calling it the worst atrocity on American recent history after 911. Or since Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing Conspiracy, or Texas Major Nidal Hasan 2009 shooting spree. (He, 41, was accused for the shooting spree, which killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas and wounded more than 30).
What exactly happened? According to most news broadcast, newspapers and magazines, the summary of the event looks like this.
“James E. Holmes, 24, white, genius, is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 58 in the suburban Denver community of Aurora during a midnight screening of the Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises” on Friday.”
I believe that civilization and scientific progress plays negatively sometimes. During the final stages of World War II in 1945, the United States conducted two atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.in1945. The curse of the internet and technological progress, as sources told “ABC News that Holmes also bought 6,000 rounds of ammunition and swat gear, including body armor and a gas mask, through the internet.”
The media unfortunately focus on the feelings of victims relatives and friends after the killing not before the killing, I mean they look after the results, and forget about the causes of the killing. This is also unfortunately, a symptom of top civilization nations.
I think the media have to be careful of the news told by governmental agencies, because they may have errors of telling about the truth or suppressing important news such as the case in the Boeing 757, which was constructed from lightweight aluminum, penetrate over 9 ft (2.7 m). of steel reinforced concrete?” What’s missing usually more important than what’s told. The overt news is clear propaganda to cover up the covert news, which may down some heads in the white house or government or its Octopus arms, in the U.S, such as the CIA, and FBI or out the U.S as NATO and IMF.
I may conclude by giving philosophical broad advice to the government(s)-and should not be interpreted or considered as a threat as some agencies confronted by advices-to look down to the people not to look up to the above people on wealthy ranks when they manage their social policies which have the strange (and absent) term called: JUSTICE.
I can tell more in this analysis, in terms of my theory: Crescentologism. But I am afraid that many readers may missunderstood the point. (557 words) www.dryahyatv.comin
