N.B. The following is
HIGHLY SPECULATIVE and it is not my intention to upset anybody.
My intention in making this post is to look at this topic in a more fast and loose way and to shake up the debate as I feel the trail is going cold
and it's "shape" is being set by the media and I think it's worth generating a little outside-the-box thinking.
To the MODS: If this post is deemed inappropriate please feel free to delete. Thanks.
(BTW Doomzilla, I was aware about the mini bible, but I thought more info about it had come to light. And I do see the connection between it and
indoctrination into a cult if that is what you were getting at).
So, finished reading through the Earth Empires threads. If Dare's postings weren't so cryptic would have got more out of them, but very informative
nonetheless.
Themes that I picked up on in no particular order are:
Mind control
Sexual Frustration
Bisexuality
Teaching 8 year old girls (what's this one about?)
Bullying
Rape
Homelessness
Stabbing/Cutting people up
Paying Teachers
Dates (of the distant future?)
Jobs
Inside jokes eg. woman in a pink blanket
Ridicule of Dare
Dial up internet
Okay here goes from the hip:
I think he felt incredibly trapped.
I believe that he could just see no way of getting out of where he was. Neither through earning money nor joining the army. He felt he just wasn't and
couldn't be free in this reality.
Eventually he sought escape at first by doing mind altering drugs and then through lucid dreaming.
I imagine that it was during the mind altering drugs/lucid dreaming stage that he would have come upon his epiphany, revelation or whatever changed
him. It was then that he began to develop the mechanisms to break with reality and make his own construct. (Neo anyone?)
I think that he felt highly restricted by what he perceived as the society. (In my opinion it is indeed a constructed society that we live in
wherever, whenever and whoever we are and I think that to an extent this has to be).
I think that he made increasing efforts to create his own reality. He probably thought who should be allowed to create his miserable world with it's
scams of knowledge and money and debt etc. However his personally created reality seriously clashed with the general population's perceptions of
reality and this led to various conflicts.
But by now Jared couldn't go back. He couldn't let himself return to his previous existence and path, he couldn't return to the
"
Little Ease". He had to be free!
Therefore he had to believe and create his reality with increasing "solidity". Thus his increasingly bizarre behaviour in the eyes of the world he was
slipping away from. Up to the day he shot Giffords.
As for mind control, as I stated before, it is a recurring factor in his postings. So whether he was deconstructing the structure of society so to
create his own reality or subliminally pointing out that he was being mentally controlled, I will not speculate on at the moment except to say that I
keep thinking that he was involved in some type of abuse whether real or perceived. It is interesting that his friends didn't really hang at JLL's
house. And he seemed somewhat feral.
I believe that JLL's story has a lot more to it than just some whackjob explanation, although I will not rule that out. That is to say that there was
a logical (to him anyway) series of events that led him to do what he did, and not just because he felt like it or the "voices in his head" made
him...
And now I find myself asking the question "Did JLL kill before?" Did he rape and kill someone and cut up their body and dispose of it without being
caught? (Look at the Earth Empires posts relating to this especially the
cartoons) maybe an 8 year old?!! Or was he discusted/fascinated
by
this case? Could these be reasons for his behaviour?
I know there's many factors that I have missed such as his talk of meteors, 2012 and the Mayan calendar, what was the point of his flag burning video
and was he dabbling in black magic. Hopefully more facts will come to light soon and these questions can be properly looked at.
Again, I apologise for my speculative post, but I hope it will get some thinking outside the (TV) box.
Thanks for reading my guesswork.
