    So, So Tragic. I'm not shocked anymore. So used to it

    Rocky_Shorz, what do you mean by "why is the government deciding mental health is not a disability and cutting so many loose right now...
    found it interesting since i feel everything is amped up these days.

    California has cut back 25% of the mental Disability eligibility with changes, the people haven't, but the people paying for it have...

    then there is no tracking...

    how many other states have cut back on those programs?

    I guess it is true.... if at first you don't succeed, try and try again. This time make the shooter appear to be a malitia type. Some wacked out constitutionalist. Seems like its always the same old story. X number dead, shooter is also dead. We are always kept in the dark as to the who, what, where, when, why, and how until they can cover all possible mishaps and discrepancies in the narrative. They will only give you bits so as to make the picture appear cut and dry. By the time they exhausted everyone anxious to know "WTF" happened, we fall for everything they spew without giving it second thought or consideration. Many will re-report what is feed to us as bread crumbs for now, just to get everyone re-repeating there narrative until it becomes carbon copied into our mind. I know what this is, and will turn into, as do most of you. As Rocky_shorz mentioned; this is heading in the wrong direction and fast...

    Truly we have had the same thing happen here in BONNIE SCOTLAND Thomas Hamilton The guy was a scout leader for years and the way it sounded at the time was that he took this role VERY SERIOUSLY but after the complaints went in "WELL" it was said he had molested a good many children mostly on his camping trips ... he would make up games that would entail them having to reveal themselves for whatever reason Anyway HE GOT SUSPENDED.....HIS REACTION....HE WALKS INTO A PRIMARY SCHOOL IN DUNBLANE AND JUST OPENED FIRE...... KIDS , TEACHERS , HIMSELF he was a COWARD !!!!
    he was selfish and he was insane WE LATER FOUND OUT !!!! WHY DO HUMANS DO THIS ????

    Have they found his "girlfriend" yet?

    Or is she now safely back at the secret base where they run these damned stunts from?

    I even think that all these years of so called suicide bombers in the middle east have been a similar program. They may well have perfected this stuff over there.

    Such a sad event. Many blessings and healing sent to those families affected directly, and also to the US and the rest of the world, who will continue to feel the reverberations of this event for some time to come.

    IF this is a Monarch ritual, it shows the desperation and desire to bring down the vibration as much as possible.

    The timing of this is not coincidental. The MSM machine is just gearing up today. Energetically, this will be on the news for the next week or two. There will be retrospectives, concentration upon the classroom of missing kindergartners, the parents, specials about the other school shootings, Columbine, psychologists and pundits, national mourning.

    The energy of this time is one of renewal, the mass media will be focusing upon the children and death, the most sacred lives of a culture, taken too early. Parents will grieve and fear, grandparents, other children. When people should be focusing upon their internal work, positive thoughts and moving through their own personal dramas they will be distracted by an event such as this, designed by killers to lower the vibration of all who partake of the mainstream media as much as possible. Keep people in a state of sadness and fear.

    I suppose we in the West are too inured to war. Hearing about deaths in countries that don't share our culture won't do it anymore. But an event like this touches everyone somewhere, as we're all children, brothers, sisters, parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents.

    For the children sacrificed, we should reinforce our resolve to raise the vibration and the light, to not let the MSM dictate the energy of these days and to continue on the path - for those who walk it - toward becoming that started for many of us so long ago and that is culminating in these times. Be blessed. We are all entangled, intertwined, and we are all a part of this story and its emotion as we are involved in learning about it and keeping updated. We must not give this event more power by allowing our vibrations to lower to the level desired.

    This is very sad indeed. How many have there been recently? Seems like a lot more than ever before. The trauma experienced by the people involved is hard to imagine. The negative energy that comes from something like this.
    In regards to whether this is mind control I would be inclined to treat every event like this as suspicious. Regarding the agenda of removing guns from the citizens of USA, then have a look at this post from a friend of a friend on facebook.

    " They just have to do something about the gun laws!!! When will they learn?? I saw a child being interviewed and from how he was talking it was like they have been trained to know what to do in this situation.... That's the prevention they're being offered?? Get rid of guns!!"

    This is how tptb spread fear and chaos, they are really desperate to keep us in a fearful and unempowered state. These are their final desperate rituals to keep themselves in control. Of course this is outrageous and really sad. I just sent my love to all who are affected by this horrific act.

    I know how this feels, because my country was twice affected by these kind of shootings a few years ago. It made the whole country to go into a fearful state for months thanks to the mainstream media. It's sad to say that you get used to events like this. Just surround yourselves and the ones that you love with love.

    SANITY CHECK!

    312,800,000 people in this country.......... 3 events involving 3(supposedly) in around 6 months.

    this is NOT normal OR COMMON..... do NOT let the hype surrounding these terrible incidences fool you, this is exactly as desired.

    This is, in fact, HIGHLY ABNORMAL and EXTREMELY UNCOMMON.


    Quote Posted by Carmody (here)
    Just so people understand, these things are not new.

    They are new to people with no sense of history, yes, but they most certainly are NOT NEW.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster

    The Bath School disaster is the name given to three bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, on May 18, 1927, which killed 38 elementary school children, two teachers, four other adults and the bomber himself; at least 58 people were injured.

    This is a caution. A caution for retaining perspective, regarding any sort of push that may emerge from the given politics, the given corporations (and hidden interests) behind it.

    If they did not create the situation, I can guarantee that many will step into the gap and work very hard to use it to push their given agenda.


    My next question is, OK, what could this be used for, as cover?

    3000 US troops just reentered Iraq.

    Just yesterday, Russia admitted that Syria may fall.

    And so on.....
    3k troops deploying to Iraq is HUGE, what else are we being mislead from?

    a build up for a Syria attack??

    Thanks Paul, I've got a feeling we will soon see an executive order signed by the phony president banning several types of guns, probably happen real soon too, probably on Christmas or New Years Eve....(when no ones lookin)

    While President Obama delivered his condolences he appeared to be tearing up...I wonder if it was out of guilt and remorse. Because now he can really see the true essense of power and how it grows like weeds and for the first time he was able to sympathize , he is after all a parent.

    I just came upon this thread. I have not read the posts above. So if I've repeated other's thoughts, it must mean it needs to be said again and again.

    Peace, & Blessings especially to everyone that are and will be touched by this senseless atrocity.

    What better way to up the fear scale, and block out peace and harmony for the upcoming 12/21/12 than to use innocent children?

    These little ones are Blessed Warriors doing their part to raise the conscious vibration.

    Thank you and God Speed, Light Ones.

    We are being conditioned to see these types of events as "normal/common" through the brainwashing of the mainstream media....it is really to the point that a few out a few hundred million pulling this crap really doesn't matter....the masses are fooled and they WILL disarm America soon (or try).

    That is the sanity check....and there's been more than 3 shootings in the last 6 months too.

    these shootings" ...I have not checked this............But ties into a lot of what
    we suspect these are not neccessarily as random as reported.....( mind control) ?

    312,800,000 people in this country.......... 3 events involving 3(supposedly) in around 6 months.

    this is NOT normal OR COMMON..... do NOT let the hype surrounding these terrible incidences fool you, this is exactly as desired.

    This is, in fact, HIGHLY ABNORMAL and EXTREMELY UNCOMMON.

    Here are some statistics that I presume are nationwide not just for Viginia ?




    Homicides by Students on School Grounds During the School Day: 1992-93 to 2010

    The rate of homicides in U.S. schools has declined substantially since the early 1990s. There was an apparent interruption in the downward trend during a period of highly publicized shootings that may have generated some copycat shootings.

    UPDATE: Wrong Shooter?

    Quote 4:52 p.m: Ryan Lanza, 24, brother of gunman Adam Lanza, 20, tells authorities that his younger brother is autistic, or has Asperger syndrome and a “personality disorder.” Neighbors described the younger man to ABC as “odd” and displaying characteristics associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
    4:41 p.m.: Federal law enforcement sources now say Connecticut school shooting gunman was Adam Lanza, 20, and not his brother Ryan Lanza, 24, as earlier reported. Adam was found dead in the school along with his mother, a kindergarten teacher there.

    Quote While President Obama delivered his condolences he appeared to be tearing up...I wonder if it was out of guilt and remorse. Because now he can really see the true essense of power and how it grows like weeds and for the first time he was able to sympathize , he is after all a parent.
    I agree.........

    I would have a tear in my eye if I had to announce this tragedy to the nation !

    Twenty children and six adults have been killed in a shooting attack at a primary school in the US state of Connecticut, police say.

    Lt Paul Vance said the gunman was also dead, but did not identify him.

    However, officials told US media the killer at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown, was a 20-year-old son of a teacher at the school.

    Newtown is now one of the worst school shootings in US history, after 32 died at Virginia Tech in 2007.

    Early reports named 24-year-old Ryan Lanza as the gunman, but anonymous officials later said his brother Adam, 20, was the suspect.

    Ryan Lanza was being questioned by police, the Associated Press and New York Times reported.

    Lt Vance said 18 children were pronounced dead at the school, and two died after they were taken to hospital. Six adults were also killed. The gunman died at the scene.

    According to US reports, the gunman's mother was a teacher found among the dead at the school.

    One person was also injured, and police were investigating a "secondary" crime scene, where another victim was found dead, Lt Vance said.

    He gave no details, but said New Jersey police were providing assistance

    Dressed in black and wearing a bullet-proof vest, the gunman is thought to have had several weapons at the school, although it is not clear whether he used more than one.

    The attack took place in two rooms within a single section of the school, police have said.

    Night has fallen in Newtown, and school officials announced that a memorial service would take place at 19:00 EST (00:00 GMT).
