    I am not a psychiatrist, but there is something odd going on in this young man's mind. When I saw his mug shot something stood out for me immediately: he looks like two different people. His left and right sides are so dissimilar that they do not seem to belong to the same person. I worked with the mug shot photo in an editing program and came up with what Jared would look like if he were indeed more symmetrical and in essence what I ended up with were two complete persons - but two very different depictions of the same man.
    Oh dear, someone that doesn't realise that rarely is a face perfectly symmetrical. Below is an example of someone else that has an uneven face. In fact, if you take a picture of your face straight on and pop it into this website, or manually use photoshop to create the same result, I imagine your face will be uneven too.

    Is this a new low? Three days after a tragedy and the nonsense starts flying, even crap about sacrificing a nine year old. Hang your heads in shame.

    I dont know those people and presume if they are gving themselves a mourning period it will not involve searching our conversations.When its not too soon i presume they will look or not at their own discretion as they will the tv.
    Ofc everyone is appalled at what happened.Im suprised yourself is so sensitive, i presume you wont post here again after that comment to show the same respect we are shamed for not observing,because there is no such thing as too soon imo.You either open your mouth or keep it shup full stop.
    But thats my logic and i expect others to do me the same favour.
    It didnt stop the news papers did it? what about the news on tv? how long did they wait?
    You should send them a letter of complaint.
    Incase its not obvious im presumng you are taking a fast dive for the moral high ground to feel superior over us shameless troofers.
    Just dont forget to add fox and cnn too.

    As it happens, upon flicking down through some of the comments it seems that he doesn't really have one outside of some odd artistic perspective. :o

    Most people display facial assymetry. That's common knowledge. Interestingly, in some scientific research I saw, people found people with the most symmetrical faces the most attractive.

    PS - that's a photo of a guy who's just after killing a bunch of people, including a girl of 9. He's grinning like a moron. My thoughts: the unfortunate man is nuts. Crazy people and guns do not go well together. This conspiracy doesn't have legs, as far as I'm concerned.

    after soaking all this info in, processing it, my belief is he is not mk mind controlled, just a madman trying to make a statement.

    I think his thought process goes way deep, like a multilayered inside joke that he understands. My opinion is that his expression about coins and currency means change, like change in your pocket. He wanted to make statement about changing the government. He got our attention the only way he knew how, and believe he fully comprehends the ramifications of his actions. He wanted to be a murderous celebrity martyr, but he will go down as a sinister fool who outsmarted his own self. If he doesn't get death penalty chances are good IMO that he won't survive prison.

    You know theres a saying i read in a book about N.L.P
    It was something along the lines of "Every person makes the best choices they can given the abilities and resources available to them at any given time"
    This guy wether brainwashed or just unstable mentally made the best choices he could given the resources he had at that time.
    So i feel it unfair to label him a loon,sap,nutter etc.We are all neurotic in many ways each and every one of us and there is valid reasons he did what he did, its just not good the choices he made.so i dont hate and think people should remember this when speaking about these incidents.
    He is a person too and i feel sad for his issues.That could have been any of us in another life.
    No major point to that post, but i felt i should say that anyway.

    Give it a rest. You couldn't be more transparent. So many public people have come out of the woodwork to associate Loughner with what they hate the most - you hate conpiracy theorists the most so you are here to associate Loughner the teabagger/Nazi/Communist/anti-immigration/Jewish/homosexual/Liberal/Republican/Anarchist/Libertarian/Left-wing/right-wing/atheist/conpsiracy theorist/nihilist/anti-semite.

    I've read all Erad3's posts and anything else I can find supposedly by him online and he seems a very troubled and disturbed young man. I actually have some sympathy for him in this, at least as far as the information I have gathered so far.

    You think he became a mass-murderer because he was sceptical about the moon landings and he had some unusual obsession with grammar and creating his own currency? :rolleyes:

    One of the biggest loads of shyte i've heard in a while tbh

    There were people on abovetopsecret.com that treated Loughner exactly the way imo the way onbnoxious, arrogant types have dismissed and insulted the more out there and mysterious posters here.

    That's somewhat the impression I got; less anti-government and more anti-corrupt-government but he seemed crippled with paranaioa and other cognitive and communication problems so escaped into his dreams. Failed it seems by the courts and his family.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 david dare


    I'm not about to sympathize for this guy. However, there is a likely possibility that he is personality disordered. I've dealt with people with personality disorders. I had a GF who I believe has one, and she nearly drove me crazy, too. People like that usually have dark traumatic childhoods and grow up with a lack of sense of self that causes major cognitive deficiency. They blame all their problems on everyone else, have extreme black/white,all good/all bad perceptions with no middle ground, while they sabotage their own life, and yes, I agree with him escaping into his own dream world.

    But for that to be relevant the work would have had to continue into the late 80s and early 90s since Loughner wasn't born until '88. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Torakx


    I think the point is if they can do it once they can do it again.
    Doesnt have to be the same department or doctors.Can be anyone from any group, government or otherwise.
    Since the US gov have a track record of experimenting on its own citizens and government officials alot of people here might presume it was possible a government agency was involved here too.
    And i think its understandable to consider this.

    It does show that there is a track record of such things happening though. It does not prove or disprove anything. It is interesting though, particularly in relation to this case and the apparent behavioral change that Loughner underwent in recent years. Take this interview with his ex-girlfriend
    Kelsey Hawkes, an ex-girlfriend of suspected Arizona shooter Jared Lee Loughner, spoke out this morning on CBS's Early Show, saying the man the world has come to know since the massacre is very different from the one she dated nearly six years ago.

    "Back then he was completely different of a person, very caring, very gentle, very sweet, kind, a little quiet, but altogether pretty great guy," Hawkes told host Erica Hill.

    Asked if she ever saw anything in Loughner that hinted he was capable of such violence, Hawkes replied, "Absolutely not."

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/13/jared-loughners-kelsey-hawkes_n_808502.html

    There is a multitude of things that may have affected Loughner, however unlikely the idea of him being effected by psychological testing akin to MK Ultra should not be ruled out though IMO.

    But he was 22 years of age, of course he would have undergone large changes in that span of time. :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Torakx


    I went through a large change at age 30 too.Doesnt mean much as everyone does.
    But i am still the same peacefull person i always was so i didnt change much there at all despite the massive changes.

    And I'm assuming you went through that change in the same peaceful surroundings with no sign of mental distress or illness. Given Loughner's behaviour and the testimony of those around him during the course of those years, it seems the latter was not true in his case. Note I'm specifically referring to classmates who would have known him during those years, not those who knew him a few years ago and are shocked at what he became.

    Oh the subject of possible brain washing / MK-ULTRA use however, what would anyone have had to gain by Gabrielle Giffords assassination? Also, isn't the entire point of those projects to turn them into sleeper assassins? Surely Loughner's behaviour irl and on the various websites he visited runs contrary to the aims of said program?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Torakx


    What did he go through in those six years?

    His behaviour on those websites would make many think he was disturbed in the run up to the incident.
    Of course he probably was, but so far i couldnt say what caused the disturbance.
    It certainly doesnt sound like any run of the mill life considering the outcome six years later.
    Funny his girlfriend didnt mention anything relating to his behaviour six years ago accept he was relatively normal.
    Like babbling in backwards type speech, it makes me wonder did he always talk like that.

    Thats pretty interesting.
    I at one stage was attempting astral travel/lucid dreaming but failed miserably.
    After alot more research i started coming across rumours of it being linked with schizophrenia or D.I.D cant remember which.
    Also it can cause sleep paralyses so i decided to stop there before that happened lol
    Schizophrenia is known to be linked to the persons creativity and imagination,something also associated with lucid dreaming.
    Which would be located i think in the right side of the brain which is why i was talking about the left side of his face.
    But that was mostly guestimates as alot of that stuff is only now being researched and not many studies out yet on schizophrenia and the creative part of the brain.
    Im sure i read at least one relating to that though.
    Possibly somewhere in here http://www.carlzimmer.com/articles/

    Anyway i wouldnt be suprised if Loughner was attending as it sounds like the type of stuff he was into.

    This is from the European Science Foundation 2009.
    http://www.esf.org/activities/exploratory-workshops/news/ext-news-singleview.html?tx_ttnews
    He also describes Loughner as being obsessed with "lucid dreaming"—that is, the idea that conscious dreams are an alternative reality that a person can inhabit and control—and says Loughner became "more interested in this world than our reality." Tierney adds, "I saw his dream journal once. That's the golden piece of evidence. You want to know what goes on in Jared Loughner's mind, there's a dream journal that will tell you everything."
    http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/01/jared-lee-loughner-friend-voicemail-phone-message
    Lucid dreaming – when you are aware you are dreaming – is a hybrid state between sleeping and being awake. It creates distinct patterns of electrical activity in the brain that have similarities to the patterns made by psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia.
    (...)
    New data affirms the connection by showing that while dreaming lucidly the brain is in a dissociated state, according to Ursula Voss from the University of Frankfurt in Germany. Dissociation involves losing conscious control over mental processes, such as logical thinking or emotional reaction. In some psychiatric conditions this state is also known to occur while people are awake.

    Opinion (George Freund): TWO JARED LEE LOUGHNERS? NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT!

    Call me strange, but the guy in custody has brown eyes. The guy from facebook has baby blues. The guy at the book review is squinting, but his left ear is clearly visible. The guy with the brown eyes in custody has a long ridge in the ear lobe. The guy at the book fare does not. He has a bulbous formation at the top of the ear lobe. The book fare man has an elongated arch across the fore head. The man in custody does not. The pock marks on the face of the man in custody do not appear on the lower photos. They are similar, but they are not the same man. There are two Jared Lee Loughners.

    My point was, if the sole defence is going to be insanity then much of the evidence and/or background info on his motives may possibly be whitewashed. The fact that it is insanity however, is of little surprise, especially given the defence lawyers history of negotiating plea deals.

    The thing is Gizmo, if I was asked to give a verdict on what I have seen about this case I would concur with your view.
    However given Loughners own interest in mind control and similarities between this case and other possible MK Ultra participants such as the Unabomber, that I feel it is a topic worthy of discussion on this forum. Some people may find that is in bad taste however it is a topic that is covered on many other CT sites I have visited, so I don't see the problem people have with the different elements of the case being discussed here, regardless of how obscure they may seem.

    As do I, which is why I'm concerned regarding the insanity plea which I believe will lead to all other evidence being discounted. That may include his involvement in the Centre of Consciousness Studies as BB pointed out earlier and where exactly he got the inspiration for his youtube videos etc...

    To be clear, I don't doubt for a second he was mentally disturbed, I don't particularly think he was involved in any MK-ULTRA activity but I would like to know what set him off. The insanity plea, in my opinion, will probably not deal with these subjects in an in-depth manner which is why I've said the above.

    Right, maybe it's the fact that Loughner and the 'other possible MK Ultra participants' involved in atrocities such as this could all have similar types of mental problems leading them to become bombers/school shooters? My view on this is that it's just a madman who read up a bit on conspiracy theories before posting rambling videos to YouTube. But I will concede that it's absolutely vital to look into everything before accepting the general consensus.

    Well the question I would ask regarding this is, what is the cause of these mental problems? It is reported that Kaczynski underwent MKUltra type experimentation aged 17. Is it the result of undergoing such testing that influenced his behaviour later in his life? What are the long term effects on other subjects of this type of experimentation?
    Did Loughner undergo similar experimentation? Is there a history of schizophrenia in Loughner's family?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,405 ✭✭✭gizmo


    I found this bit of info extremely interesting. Evidence like that should hopefully ensure they can't use insanity as a scapegoat given that he seemed fully aware of the consequences of his actions.

    Gag Order Sought for Tucson Shooting Victims' Autopsies


    Published March 01, 2011
    | Associated Press


    012611_loughnersketch.jpg
    AP
    Jan. 24: In this artist rendering, Jared Lee Loughner, right, makes a court appearance with his lawyer, Judy Clarke, at the Sandra Day O'Connor United States Courthouse in Phoenix, Ariz.



    PHOENIX -- Federal prosecutors are seeking to bar the release of the autopsy results for six people killed in a Tucson rampage targeting U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.


    Court records show the request to U.S. District Judge Larry Burns for the gag order was filed Monday by prosecutors who say the families of five of the victims objected to the release of the reports.
    The prosecutors also are seeking to prevent Pima County's deputy chief medical examiner, Dr. Eric Peters, and his staff from talking to the media about the case.


    Jared Loughner is accused of shooting Giffords and 18 others.
    Killed in the January shootings were 9-year-old Christina-Taylor Greene, federal Judge John M. Roll and Giffords aide Gabriel Zimmerman. The other three were bystanders Dorothy Jean Morris, Phyllis Schneck and Dorwan Stoddard.

    Shooting suspect Jared Loughner is not mentally competent to stand trial on charges he killed six people and wounded US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in January, a federal judge ruled today.

    US District Judge Larry Burns found Mr Loughner (22), described by his lawyers as "gravely mentally ill," was incapable of understanding the proceedings against him and assisting in his own defense.

    The decision came shortly after Mr Loughner was hustled out of the courtroom for an outburst that disrupted the hearing. He spent five weeks undergoing psychiatric evaluations at a federal prison hospital in Missouri.

    Mr Loughner, a college dropout who investigators say has a history of mental problems, is accused of opening fire on Ms Giffords and a crowd of bystanders attending a "Congress on Your Corner" event outside a grocery story.

    So, they went for the "gravely mentally ill," option, instead of killing him. Interesting.
