Once again my thoughts are running to the good people of Charleston, who have had their world turned upside down through a cold and calculated event. Looking at some of the evidence now coming out, my mind comes up with many more questions than answers.
My mind first turns to the agenda points of this story. Racist white man enters a black church and opens fire. The President, of course, comes out almost immediately and talks about the need to better control guns. He also talks about the attack in terms of racism and religion. Gun control. Two politically divisive hotpoints: race and religion.
Next, my mind immediately goes to the killer, Dylann Roof. Evidence does seem to indicate he had white supremacist leanings. Extreme views are a definite weakness that would make one more vulnerable and open to violence. I wondered about potential drug use. Very quickly the information came out that he had a drug record. He was caught in possession of a drug known as suboxone, which is used to help people get off harder illegal drugs. It is also associated with violence. This is all stuff that would make Roof more likely to be influenced to commit a violent act.
My next thoughts question if he had any direct contact with someone with government agency ties. The FBI has been known to set people up to commit violence. They've helped "terrorists" come up with plans to bomb bridges and commit other destructive acts (then, of course, they would catch these "terrorists" to make themselves look good). Nothing. Yet.
Another immediate question I had was about the victims/potential targets at the church. The church itself, Emmanuel AME church, was extremely symbolic. It had been started by slaves who later tried to lead a revolt and were hanged for it. Then there was the pastor, Clementa Pinckney, who was not only a religious leader but also happened to be a South Carolina state senator. Political ties. What didn't they like about this man?
This is where the mind of a conspiracy theorist wanders. This is also where I would exercise a word of caution. In recent years, the imaginations of conspiracy theorists have wandered dramatically. I've seen many postings about faking incidents--many of which do seem to have some basis in fact. However, I do believe the powers that be have mixed it up a bit. Not everything is totally faked or totally real. They do this with intention because it makes people follow up on wild goose chases and makes them look ridiculous. Very easy to point out someone who has made these sort of mistakes and discredit them.
I will say this about Charleston. I believe the deaths to be very real, as I have a good many friends in South Carolina. One of them knew the Reverend Pinckney personally.
I'm sure that much more information will come up in the days ahead. Make sure to follow your heart for guidance and clues that will lead you toward truth!!! Discernment is key in the treacherous waters we currently find ourselves in. Stay aware.
