Welcome to Tin Foil Hat with Sam Tripoli. In this episode, Austin Ward Picard and Brad Binkley delve into the disturbing connections between the Aurora theater shooting, the Sandy Hook tragedy, and the LIBOR financial scandal—highlighting that both James Holmes and Adam Lanza reportedly had family members linked to the ongoing investigation.. They argue that Holmes, a neuroscience student with alleged DARPA connections, shows signs of being a modern Manchurian Candidate, potentially subjected to mind control and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Drawing on From PSYOP to MindWar by Vallely and Aquino, they highlight the use of psychological warfare to erode free will and reshape identity. The Aurora event mirrors Columbine in method and symbolism, with testimony from ex-prisoner Steven Unruh and references to the 1986 Batman comic suggesting deliberate behavioral programming and "Revelation of the Method" as part of a broader assault on human consciousness.
