Yeah weird its almost like they dont live in complete isolation from popular culture and so are drawing from the same stories and concepts when crafting an excuse for what they did

Uh-huh. They're ruled criminally insane, locked away with no chance of being interviewed and then come up with amazingly similar stories of being mind controlled. Seems very plausible.

Summary of the examples listed in this article:

  • Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock: Would allegedly lie in bed moaning and screaming "oh my god".

  • Florida Parkland HS Shooting: He said voices/demons told him to do it. [I suggest watching the footage of his arrest and interrogation, where it is almost comically obvious that he's bullshitting and trying to think of something that will make him seem crazy and less responsible for his actions]

  • Tennessee Church Shooting: Dude heard voices/demons and doesn't remember doing the shooting.

  • Navy Yard Shooting: Dude carved "my ELF weapon" into his rifle.

  • Florida State University Shooting: Sent emails referencing gangstalking and directed energy weapons.

  • Fort Lauderdale Airport Shooting: Claimed he was being mind controlled and had been forced to watch videos "for isis".

  • Baton Rouge Police Shooting: Was in an online group discussing "Remote Brain experimentation, Remote Neural Monitoring of an entire Humans Body"

  • Kalamazoo Shooting: Claimed voices/demons told him to do it, specifically cow head demons from Uber (the app).

  • Jared Loughner- Gabreille Gifford Shooting: Randomly started rambling about mind control in class.

Amazingly similar stories wow /s

There's a far more common similar story they all have, abusive fathers and chaotic mothers.

And that makes them good subjects for manipulation via drugs, hypnosis, and whatever other techniques the controllers use.

Mental illness has always existed, but how it is interpreted and how it presents is socially constructed.

In the modern western world, people with paranoid schizophrenia often interpret their illness in terms of mind control by the CIA, or whatever intelligence agency they happen to be most familiar with. I knew a paranoid schizophrenic in Australia who was convinced that ASIO was trying to poison him with radiation. Microchips and, sometimes, clockwork, are also often part of the delusion.

Those who are very religious interpret their delusions as "demonic possession". In much of Africa, they are interpreted in terms of persecution by witches.

The same mental phenomenon, sleep paralysis, used to be interpreted in terms of "the night hag" while today people are more likely to see "greys" and other alien lifeforms.

Once the victim is manipulated into having a psychotic break, they can be induced to do anything.
