Springfield Active Shooter Syncs to Sylvia Seegrist and Brenda Spencer

October 20, 2018. First hand reports from people inside Springfield Mall telling me they are locked inside American Eagle dressing room in lockdown after reports of active shooter at Springfield Mall. ~ Chris O'Connell, Fox 29, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Pictured above is the American Eagle in the Springfield Mall, Pennsylvania. Below is the American Eagle store in the Springfield Mall, Virginia. The stores are widespread throughout the malls of America.

In the Atlanta area, the Stonecrest Mall had experienced a shooting on Saturday afternoon, October 20, 2018.

On October 19, 2018, a shooting had occurred in a mall in South India, in Asia, and a man was injured in an Eastdale Mall, Alabama, USA, shooting.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, October 20, 2018, police and fire crews were dispatched to the Springfield, Pennsylvania, mall at approximately 1:05 p.m. to reports of a shooting in the parking lot near the Baltimore Pike. The argument began inside the store between two groups before it moved outside and escalated to gunfire. An Ulta employee said they heard the shots, but did not see the actual incident. The shooter fled the scene, and there is no longer an active shooter situation.

Springfield Mall Mass Shooting, October 30, 1985.

Sylvia Wynanda Seegrist (born July 31, 1960), an American woman, on October 30, 1985, opened fire at the Springfield Mall in Springfield, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. Seegrist killed three people and wounded seven others before being disarmed by a man who was shopping at the mall. The individuals killed included two men and a two-year-old boy.

On the first of two trips to the Springfield Mall on the day of October 30, 1985, Seegrist shopped for Halloween items at a party store. She then worked out at a fitness club, before returning to the mall for the last time.

Around 4 p.m. on Wednesday, October 30, 1985, Sylvia Seegrist, dressed in Army fatigues and black boots, parked her car at the front of the Springfield Mall. (Acquaintances said she was always angry and nicknamed her "Ms. Rambo.")
Seegrist alighted from her vehicle, a Datsun B-210, retrieved the weapon she had purchased, and then fired at a man approximately 30 yards from where she stood. The man was not hit and having seen the vehicle she arrived in, flattened one of the Datsun's tires to prevent an escape in that vehicle. Meanwhile, Seegrist had approached the nearest entrance and fired at, but missed, a woman who was using a nearby ATM. Before entering the mall, she shot and killed two-year-old Recife Cosmen who was with his parents waiting to eat at a local restaurant.

Once inside, Seegrist fired into some stores and ignored others. Though many customers fled when they heard the gunfire, she came across (Ernest) Earl Trout, who either could not or did not hear it and was simply standing in front of a store where he became one of the three people killed that day. Augusto Ferrara was the last person killed in the rampage. John Laufer, a local graduate student, disarmed her as she walked up to him and tried to raise her gun to shoot him. Laufer forced her to a nearby store while he waited for the arrival of mall security. The first guard who responded asked her why she had just done what she did; her reply was "My family makes me nervous."

Seegrist was 25 years old and had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia ten years earlier. Having been committed and discharged from mental care several times, her case stimulated discussion about the state's authority to commit at-risk people into mental care facilities versus individual rights.

The following passage is straight from my 2004 book, The Copycat Effect, pages 166-167:

Brenda Spencer, 1979

"I JUST DON’T LIKE MONDAYS"

Media interest in adolescent suicide clusters reached a peak in 1987 with the Bergenfield (New Jersey) incident. Then through the early 1990s, stories about teen suicides faded from the national television, magazines, and newspapers. But it was just a matter of time before the media would find a new, ever-more-sensational, youth-oriented death phenomenon. And that would be school shootings.

The "modern era" school rampages goes back to 1979 and Brenda Spencer, a 16­year-old girl, allegedly addicted to violent films and killing birds with her bb gun. Her father had given her a .22 semi-automatic for Christmas. Spencer would later remark: "I ask him for a radio and he bought me a gun. I felt like he wanted me to kill myself."

On January 29, 1979, Spencer pointed her gun out her bedroom window to San Diego’s Cleveland Elementary School across the street. She waited for the principal to open the school. At that point, Spencer began firing on the students who were coming to school. For twenty minutes, she had the students, teachers, and the crossing guard pinned down. During that period, Spencer killed the school principal and the school’s caretaker, as well as wounding nine students, aged 6 to 12. During the next two hours, Brenda Spencer talked to the police and press, before finally surrendering. Explaining to reporters what he had done, she said: "I just started shooting, that's it. I just did it for the fun of it. I just don't like Mondays.... I just did it because it's a way to cheer the day up. Nobody likes Mondays." She finally surrendered, and was convicted on two counts of murder. Brenda Spencer is serving two 25-to-life sentences.

Brenda Spencer, 1996

The victims: Custodian Mike Suchar and Principal Burton Wragg.

The Boomtown Rats, an Irish rock group touring America at the time of the Spencer shooting, decided to write a song about the event. "I Don't Like Mondays" became their most successful and most enduring hit despite the fact that many American radio stations refused to play it....
A decade would pass — almost to the day — before shootings at schools would start to be "news." On January 17, 1989, Patrick Purdy, also known as Patrick West and by other names, returned to the school he had attended 15 years before. But he wasn’t interested in a pleasant homecoming. Instead, Purdy, wearing a t-shirt with the word Satan on it, opened fire at the playground of the Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton, California, killing five children and wounding 35 youngsters and a teacher with his AK-47. All were the children of Southeast Asian refugees. Purdy then turned the gun on himself, and died by suicide.

Both the Purdy and Spencer incidents were atypical of the later school shooters pattern. Neither was current member of the student body they attacked, and Spencer was female; most school shooters who caused fatalities in the late 1990s were males who were suicidal. But the era of school shooters was dawning, and it would clearly follow a copycat blueprint attentively "followed," if not fueled, by the media. ©Loren Coleman 2004.

A Strange Murder on the 33rd Parallel North

The story began innocently enough. A body had been found near an isolated county road.

But as it began to unfold, the details seemed more and more bizarre. 

On November 9, 2015, a female body was found in the woods about five miles from Highway 82 on South Sandy Road. The person had been tied to a tree. The body had been stabbed. And it happened around Halloween. 

The site is on the 33rd parallel north latitude. This is significant in twilight language. See "33s: The Rebirth of Pan."

Finally, the victim was identified, as Samantha Payne, whose birthday is October 30th.

On November 10, 2015, reporter Travis Vaughn filed this report with the Moundville Times:

Multiple law enforcement agencies are investigating the grisly discovery of a dead Maplesville woman who was found tied to a tree in the Talladega National Forest on Monday, November 9, and have already arrested two suspects in connection with the death.
The victim has been identified as Samantha Christine Payne, 29, from Maplesville.
A hunter reportedly made the discovery in the Oakmulgee Division of the Talladega National Forest Monday morning around 9:00 a.m. in the forest and close to the South Sandy Shooting Range, off South Sandy Road. The area is near where Hale, Bibb, and Tuscaloosa counties come together.
Late Monday evening, Fourth Judicial Circuit District Attorney Michael Jackson issued this press release: "A female was found tied to a tree in Hale County. She had stab wounds and was dead. Her body was found in the National Forest. The Tuscaloosa Police Department and Hale County and Bibb County Sheriff's Office are investigating. Michael Belcher is the suspect in custody.”
Belcher is being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail on a Capital Murder charge.
Another suspect, Chylli Bruce, 18, of Brent, has also been charged with Capital Murder and is also being held in Tuscaloosa County. More arrests are possible.
Investigators believe Payne, Belcher, and Bruce were together the night of November 1 in Bibb County and that Payne was killed and her body was left sometime between November 1 and early morning of November 2. On the morning of Monday, November 2, law enforcement from Hale and Tuscaloosa counties came into contact with Bruce and Stephen George, 27, of Brent, on South Sandy Road after receiving a call about a suspicious vehicle. Hale County deputies arrested Bruce and George that day on drug charges.
Payne’s body was discovered a week later in the woods 100 yards or so off South Sandy Road. (Permission granted by Vaughn to reprint it here.)

One of the prime suspects arrested is Michael David Belcher, 31. The group "Stop Judicial Corruption in Alabama" has characterized Belcher as an "Alleged Bibb County Drug Kingpin."

Chylli Bruce, 18, was also taken into custody as a suspect.

The victim, Samantha Christine Payne, 29, from Maplesville, had a birthday on October 30, the day before Halloween. She went to Maplesville High School as a teen.

There is some indication that the victim and the arrested parties were fans of the Insane Clown Posse, from Facebook photographs and "likes" (although most have been deleted recently).

Maplesville High School mascot is the Red Devils, complete with Trident and their team's Devil Mascot.

In the Bridgewater Triangle, there once was a similar case that took place decades ago.

That incident was in the Freetown State Forest, Massachusetts, of a dead teen found tied to a tree. In the 1980s, some law enforcement folks talked of the theory it was a Satanic cult killing. But investigators tended to go with straight murder. It became a famed crime story in that area:

From Wikipedia - 

In November, 1978, the body of Mary Lou Arruda, a 15-year-old cheerleader abducted from Raynham, Massachusetts that September, was discovered tied to a tree in the [Freetown-Fall River] state forest. James M. Kater of Brockton, previously convicted of kidnapping in 1967, was convicted of the kidnapping and murder of Arruda in 1979. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court overturned the verdict, and he was convicted again in 1986. The verdict once again overturned; he was retried in 1992, with that attempt ending in a mistrial

Meanwhile...

Some followers of Insane Clown Posse, also known as Juggalos and Juggalettes, have been known to be involved in alleged kidnappings, killings, and attempted murders. See, especially, the incidents in 2008 and 2011.

Intriguingly, there may have been ISP crimes due South of the site of the Payne killing.

For example, according to a Dothan, Alabama police statement, a robbery took place around 12:45 a.m. on Tuesday, April 26, 2011, at the Hobo Pantry store. The police reported a man armed with knife stole some cash and ran from the store toward Westgate Parkway. The robber was a white male, about 6 feet tall, who weighed 175 to 180 pounds, had blue or green eyes, wore desert camouflage pants, a black hooded sweater with red and green animated pictures on it along with the black and white Insane Clown Posse mask over his head.

What is known, here in 2015, is that Samantha (a name meaning "flower" that became popular in the USA, after 1964, with its use on the television program Bewitched) Payne (sounds like "pain"; means "villager, rustic," and later "heathen" from Middle English Payn, Old French Paien, which was often given to children whose baptism had been postponed or adults whose religious zeal was lacking) is dead. Two or three suspects have been associated with a crime that must be difficult for her family and friends to believe happened.

The Perfect Synch Storm

The events of October 2014 have been mind-boggling in terms of twilight language, lexilinks, synchromystic overlapping thoughts, and copycat phenomena. Many interpretations and observations have been made across the blogosphere this month, too many for me to link to, as well as in the social media and backchannel emails. The mainstream news has even jumped in, now and then. But I do need to pause, to take a few minutes to take stock of the fact that we are in the midst of this, and get ready for November 7th. More on that soon, but let's take a moment.

This horrible month seems to have started on Saturday, September 27, 2014, when five bodies in the Strack family were discovered to have died mysteriously in their duplex on the road leading to Springville High School in Springville, Utah. That high school's mascot is the Red Devil - based on the concrete company that was named after the use of the word "devil" throughout the area, not just because of the devil on the cement bag, as some would have you believe.

The wormholes are temporal and the rabbit holes are deep. The twilight language played games with many clues during the last 30 days.

One day was so bad, October 24th, that it was termed by one blogger, "Black Friday."

Even evil/killer clowns became part of the mix: see here and here.

How have people been internally integrating all of this?

Let me share some thoughts sent to me by one individual who wishes to remain anonymous. It certainly speaks to the attempt by folks to try to make some sense of all that is occurring:

I wanted to suggest an additional interpretation among the welter of logical interpretations, as to these events. Possibly this is another form of the Killing of the King ritual. The Native America lad who shot up his friends and family at the Tomahawk school had been recently elected "Prince." And the MK-Ultra-style attack on the police by hatchet-man (once again a fellow connected to the US military), took place in Queens. It's all standard Kabbalist ritual, as I see it. So much of these repeated event-makings stink of straight astrotheology/kabala/sorcerous numerology. As the "cosmic doorways" community is aptly detailing. Much easier making sense of all of it when this is assumed as the source. Amusing to me that the "American Slave" assaulting the "Big House" is highlighted by the lad's strangely but childishly informed and expressed postings about the Rothschild dynasty. Also amusing that days later some bloke who "wasn't on his meds" "drives/rams into" the Ten Commandments in OKC, a city with its own unique Satanic flair. And recently the ACLU attacked the idea of this monument, essentially siding with the Church of Satan. They both had the same response to the assault on the monument. Of course, the smashing of the tablets has a clear Biblical resonance, to be understood by Biblical types more than I, probably. The reportage makes an effort to note that the 2nd commandment was the one which suffered the break..meanwhile, it is the 2nd Amendment which is rife in the news. What with all these unstable shooters running about in the land...And as you've prolly noticed, Zale was 32, suggesting a possible succession-link to the lad's chosen number 33...Yep: heady times, Mr. Coleman.

Regarding the number 237, after I noticed that the Logan Airport Ebola scare was linked to Flight 237, other items began turning up, related to 237. See here, here, here, and here.

Then AWG/RDR said, "Within hours of reading this, I went to the tag agency to get a new license plate for my car. Oklahoma tags have three numbers followed by three letters. The numbers? 237, of course!" And he wrote about it here.

Native Americans. See here. Native Americans and 237. See here.

Insights have been shared on the Canadian War Memorial attack, here and here, for example.

Even some events I did not discuss need to be mentioned, like the White House astrologer dying.

I wrote about "car rammings," and soon RDR observed that the Ten Commandments were run down in Oklahoma City.

Temple Mount sychs and car rammings predict the potential for other events. Like the one that happened today:

But wait, Halloween is Friday! And we aren't through with pitchforks/tridents yet.

Coming soon...Why November 7th is worth watching...

Aurora Halloween Mask

How would you feel if a kid showed up at your door with this mask on for Halloween, trick or treating?

It is ironic that the man accused of killing 12 on July 20th, when first wearing a Bane-like outfit to be revealed as a self-styled "Joker," has now become a mask.

The mask was briefly displayed for sale on eBay on Friday, October 6, 2012, and then withdrawn. Some reports indicate the price reached $500.

The individual who placed the eBay notice put this description with the listing:

Halloween is only a month away. SHOCK EVERYONE YOU KNOW! He was referred to as "The Joker", "The Dark Knight Shooter," "The Ilama," "The Extraordinary Gifted" but his real name is JAMES HOLMES! There is nothing more scary than crawling into James Holmes mind and wearing his face. His "soul penetrating eyes" and "The Joker" orange hair makes this mask the most disturbing object you will ever own. Imagine owning the mask of supposedly the most dangerous mass murderer in US history. This is a high quality latex rubber mask which was custom designed for a private collector overseas. I won this mask playing high stakes poker tournament when I was in Europe. I guaranty you that this is the only mask in the world and it is practically priceless because it was used in the production of the most controversy documentary which will come out in 2013. This mask is sold as is and there are no returns. If you have 0 feedback and you are interested to bid on this item you have to contact me first. I will ship the mask immediately after I receive the payment. Good luck!

Others have found their own ways to be a "Holmes" copycat without a mask.

 

This includes the tragic stories of those wearing other masks.
