Santa Barbara Shooting: Too Many ‘Coincidences’?…Or Maybe No ‘Coincidence’ at All

Stephen: My instinct says this shooting is a result of some serious planning and mind-programming – and not just by the perpetrator, 22-year-old Elliott Rodger. As soon as I heard this young man was the son of someone connected to Hollywood (and especially the movie The Hunger Games), my radar went up higher. 

For those who may remember, this picturesque city is also connected to Hollywood – it was the setting for the long-running American soap opera Santa Barbara. Ironically, Saint Barbara was the patron saint of armourers, artillerymen, military engineers, miners and others who work with explosives…

The author of this piece, Jon Rappoport,  draws some intriguing parallels and data together, including the link between this recent incident and Sandy Hook and its similarities  to a reckless driving incident in Isla Vista, California in 2001. Certainly food for thought.

Elliot Rodger, Santa Barbara Killer: Parallels and Numbers, By  Jon Rappoport, May 25, 2014 -  www.nomorefakenews.com

These are preliminary notes. For now, they’re based on media accounts of the killing spree on May 23, 2014  in Isla Vista (Santa Barbara), California—and of course, these media accounts of mass murders should never be accepted, on their face, as ironclad facts.

Elliott Rodger is reported to be the son of Peter Rodger, a unit director of the film, Hunger Games (Stephen: This is now confirmed). According to press accounts, the father specifically directed a short film within that film—a propaganda piece extoling the “new society” in which ritual sacrifice of children in the Games is a way of never forgetting the treason of rebellion/war in the “old society,” the rebellion which must never happen again.

As a parallel to the film, the killing of children in Isla Vista (in California, USA) on May 23 will forward two agendas which are claimed to be crucial to maintaining the cohesion of the new emerging society: wall-to-wall gun control and massive/invasive/toxic psychiatric care across every stratum of the population. (Stephen: This bit sounds like fear-mongering to me…)

Such was also the agenda in the wake of Sandy Hook—where Suzanne Collins, the author of The Hunger Games, resides.

(Stephen: Rappoport next includes a link to a reckless driving incident which also took place in Ilsa Vista in 2001)

Isla Vista, 2001: David Attias, a freshman at UC Santa Barbara, ran down and killed four people with his car, after which he got out and said, “I am the angel of death.”

Like Elliot Rodger, Attias is the son of a Hollywood director, Dan Attias (Ally McBeal, The Sopranos).

NBC: “Attias set off on the vehicular assault after being spurned by a woman.”

In his now-published Manifesto, Elliot Rodger goes on at great length about women rejecting him.

He also mentions meeting with his psychiatrist, Charles Sophy (manifesto, page 112), who gave him a prescription for Risperidone, an anti-psychotic drug. Rodger claims he researched the drug online and didn’t take it. He suggests or implies that he has seen Dr. Sophy (“my psychiatrist”) a number of times.

Were other drugs prescribed in the past? SSRI antidepressants (Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac)?

These drugs are well-known for pushing people over the edge into suicide and homicide. (See numerous accounts at SSRI Stories).

Dr. Charles Sophy (twitter) is a psychiatrist in private practice in Beverly Hills. On his site, you can text him live, for instant therapy. He is also, as stated on his site, the Medical Director of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.

Considering the fondness various secret societies have for rituals (e.g., ritual sacrifice of children, as in The Hunger Games), and also their fondness for numbers and codes, consider this number: 23.

• David Attias’ 2001 vehicular slaughter in Santa Barbara occurred on February 23, 2001.
• The official release date of the first Hunger Games film in the US was March 23, 2012.
• Elliot Rodger’s rampage in Santa Barbara took place on May 23, 2014.

Just another coincidence.

(Stephen: Elliot Rodger, at 22, was also in his 23rd year… BTW, The Number 23 was also the title of a 2007  psychological thriller film starring Jim Carrey and directed by Joel Schumacher ( The Lost Boys, Batman Forever) . The movie’s plot involved an obsession with the 23 enigma, an esoteric belief that all incidents and events are directly connected to the number 23, some permutation of the number 23, or a number related to 23.)
