Damned Data: The Greenbaum Speech and its relevance to mass shootings and the gun control debate

Another day, another crazy lone wolf kills himself before the entire story can come to light.

If you haven't heard about the serial bomber in Austin, Texas, yet, you might be living under a rock. Briefly, Mark Anthony Conditt, a 24-year-old community college dropout with no violent history was killed yesterday when his vehicle veered off the road and crashed, detonating an explosive device he had with him. Local law enforcement, likely with help from the FBI, identified him as the serial bomber who had recently planted four devices in the Austin area, killing two people, injuring and traumatizing many more.

The lone wolf narrative is already being pushed, with law enforcement readily suggesting he acted alone. Nikolas Cruz was also a lone wolf, so was Stephen Paddock. Most all mass shootings in recent history have had lone wolf perpetrators. They also tend to have witnesses who suggest there were multiple shooters. Typically these get dismissed, and the media is used to assert whatever narrative the FBI and law enforcement present as fact.

Are you ready for the twist, dear reader? Pay close attention to the emotional reaction and the way your thoughts automatically veer. Are you paying close attention to yourself? Yes? What happens when I suggest many, if not all, of these mass-violent events are engineered and executed by a group of professionals.

I'm guessing there's a tendency to label me a conspiracy theorist. To believe that such secrecy and stealth is impossible. To immediately conjure data points that confirm currently held beliefs.

How'd I do? (let me know in the comments)

First off, I do theorize about the possibility of conspiracies as a means to effect social engineering. Does that somehow make my ideas ludicrous? Of course not. That is however, how your perception of such discussions have already been socially engineered. The CIA actually spent time and money in order to make the terms conspiracy and conspiracy theorist pejorative so that anyone challenging their narratives could be dismissed.

Secondly, secrecy is not only possible, it's more common than you think. From gag orders, to NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements), or simply proprietary intellectual property, secrecy is pretty standard. That's completely ignoring the levels of classified secrets the military and government use. There's even been local conspiracies in police departments (LA and NYC I'm looking at you) where cops have been doing shady illegal things for decades before their misdeeds came to light. Mafia-like organizations are as old as the history of humanity, and they thrived on the ability to execute conspiracies.

Lastly, when these organizations use the truth, they use it to back their narrative. It becomes twisted and subservient to a greater lie. So yes, these guys will tell the truth and use facts in order to back their statements. They'll present as much truth as possible, and then twist it just a bit. Finding that twist or looking at the true data points that they haven't mentioned lets you think critically about the event and analyze it to discern what is true or false.

Understanding these events of mass violence requires understanding their value. Naomi Klein wrote a great book called The Shock Doctrine. In it, she demonstrates how mass violence traumatizes the population - even when they aren't the direct victim. This state makes them highly suggestive, reactive, and emotional. You can channel that agitation into a political agenda with a tool like mass media. I wonder, is there any evidence this agitation is being channeled into a political agenda?

We've had a new shooting in Maryland, where a 17 year old brought a gun to school and supposedly shot two students. He was then gunned down by the SRO (school resource officer) who was armed at the time. Interestingly, it's not exactly clear if the SRO shot the suspect, which begs the question, if not him then whom? This level of confusion is normal surrounding these events, especially very early on while more details are yet to be revealed. Typically this is where candor is found, and even though traumatized witnesses are unreliable, I trust their version of events to be true-ish. These early accounts can also be useful when they start to line up, as happened surrounding the Las Vegas shooting.

This brings me to the reason I wrote this article. I want to introduce you, Dear Reader, to The Greenbaum Speech. If you have read it, congratulations. If not, I want to suggest to you that this speech by a professional therapist, Dr. DC Hammond, has the keys to understanding incidents of mass-violence in the current age. In it, Dr. Hammond discusses what he has found in the psyche's of victims of multiple personality disorder.

These people have often been raised in cults since childhood, and were used in horrible experiments in human mind control. They have been fractured, using drugs, sexual abuse, and torture, into dozens of multiple personalities which serve unique purposes. You can have mind-programmed sex slaves or mind-programmed assassins. Some of the victims reported alters that were programmed to generate snuff films or child pornography, others were liaisons for the mafia or couriers. When you have a completely obedient, programmable human at your disposable, I'd imagine there's many different tasks you could give them. The ones that are self-reported by these people under hypnosis are rather suggestive of the type of personality who does the programming.

This is the legacy of things like Project Paperclip - where our government brought literal Nazi scientists back to the US at the conclusion of World War II. Our intelligence apparatus gave them new identities and jobs. Mind control was one of their big areas of study. A lot of this came out in the 70s when folks starting exposing things like MK Ultra - and you can read about that on Wikipedia if you aren't familiar.

My point? This is all completely plausible.

I'm not spinning some wild theory that's utterly unrealistic. I'm taking a few data points - that are ignored if not completely FORBIDDEN by common agreement of ridicule upon arrival - and injecting them into the current milieu of seemingly random chaos. They have the means, the motive should be obvious.

Chaos frightens people, frightened people get hijacked by stimulation of their flight or fight response, and most will be more amenable to suggestion in that state. Worse than that - they can use the media to make each violent incident reach more people, inspiring fear in a wider audience. From there it's easy to prop up a few representatives to portray each group and then amplify their attacks on one another.

Let's look at gun control. We have these brave young people on the cover of time magazine versus the EVIL NRA. Immediately everyone on one side of the discussion is hijacked by their emotional investment. On one hand we have children's lives, on the other, a founding principle of our nation - neither can be taken lightly. What we see is polemic, derogatory language weaponized into memes.

Classic Machiavelli. Divide and conquer. Completely left out of the picture is any real understanding of the causes of these events, or even the mere possibility that they are engineered by nefarious folks with an agenda. This is why we won't be able to resolve the problem with mere gun control, although is it clear that this is one of the agendas they are pursuing.

What we really need in order to stop this kind of violence is to understand it. We must consider the possibility that mind-programmed killers are being weaponized as agents of chaos, because there's evidence for it. Heck, when you've read the backstory here, it becomes likely. When you have the FBI taking over any major investigation, there's an in to manipulate the narrative. We also have to remember that this is the same FBI that recruits impressionable young men with low IQs into terrorist plots for the purpose of getting a bust. These aren't good guys.

So take a chance, read The Greenbaum Speech. Don your tinfoil hat and wear it proudly! Too much? Okay, just wear it quietly in your bedroom while reading history and taking detailed notes.
