    James Holmes being a neuro science major reminds me of the old CIA program called MK-ULTRA(Mass Killings Using Lethal Tradecrafts Requiring Assassination).Â
    This brings back the memories of Dr. Jose DelGado and Donald Ewen Cameron.

    This program was brought to light in 1975 during what was called the Church Committee in Congress.
    Claims were that MK-ULTRA was abandoned, but with the CIA and these other “black box” programs of the government tend to have their names changes, etc.

    James Holmes was more than likely a Manchurian Candidate or sleeper agent.

    Why in this case? To move the legislation and discussion along for GUN CONTROL.

    BIRTH CONTROL TODAY, GUN CONTROL TOMORROW, MIND CONTROL THE DAY AFTER, THEN WE REST.

    The Globalists won’t rest until they take your guns away and then enslave you. They will get it as the public is too stupid to see how they are being bamboozled. Wake up people.

    If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.  George Orwell

       I do not believe Mr. Holmes was inside the theater that night, I believe it was a set up partly to stop his father from testifying at the LIBOR trial, and to demonize guns and ammo. Holmes was just a handy tool who woke up and wondered what the heck he was in jail for.

The sequester budget cuts mean lower reimbursements for chemotherapy drugs for Medicare patients — a change that’s forcing some cancer clinics to turn away patients, in order to make ends meet.
