Who Was Omar Matten?

What is the Genetic Feedback Mechanism?

The massacre of Orlando which was carried out by Omar Mateen at Pulse, a night club of Orlando, in Florida, on the night between 11^th and 12^th June 2016, strikes for two reasons: the high number of victims and the two different theses about the reason that should have induced the killer to carry out the mass massacre.

Victims of the massacre of Orlando

The 49 dead (50 with the killer) and the 53 wounded people make the massacre of Orlando the one with the highest number of victims in the American history.

As for the “reason” the action is based on, things are a bit more complicated.

At 2.22 a.m. of 12^th June 2016, 20 minutes after entering the place and starting shooting the killer, with a call to 911, gives a “clear terrorist purpose” to his action by exalting the Islamic State and mentioning those who were responsible of the outrage to the Boston marathon.

In more occasions, before the outrage, Omar Mateen had published, on many social sites, proclamations exalting Islamic terrorism ” You kill innocent women and children with your air attacks, now you have to experience the revenge of the Islamic State. In the next days you’ll see some more attacks from the Islamic State in the Usa![1]. In fact links with no better specified Islamic terrorists, the killer would boast of with his colleagues, had attracted the FBI’s attention on him already in 2013 and 2015. Twice the FBI had investigated about Omar Matteen, but the investigations had ended in a stalemate and had been placed in the archives. Another episode is more disturbing: twenty days before the massacre the killer had tried to buy, in a gun shop, some bulletproof vests and munitions of various types; the shop assistant who had become suspicious should have refused to sell him what he had asked for and later he should have called the FBI to signal him.

Sale of semi-automatic rifles

Obviously this call, like all the other alarm signals, hadn’t had any sequel.

At this point the attempt of authorities and media to give the massacre of Orlando a possible alternative motivation is more evident: repressed homosexuality disguised as homophobia. So the declaration of his father who should have said his son(the killer) had been shocked when he had seen two men who were kissing each other and the one of his ex wife who should have declared her ex husband was a gay, they seem attempts of keeping distance from a probable charge of connivence in terrorism rather than real evidences.

Another assertion of his ex wife when she tells about Omar like “an authoritative, sometimes violent, but not too religious fellow” is more interesting and for our thesis as well.

On the other hand the phenomenon of massacres in America has existed for at least five decades and started many years before Islamic terrorism.

American massacres

Just next August is the 50^th anniversary of the first of the American massacres, the one of Charles Joseph Whitman.

Whitman, a Serial Killer

On 1^st August 1966 an ex marine, after killing his mother and his wife in his own place, barricated himself on the 28^th floor of the University Tower. Then he fired with all the arms he had brought and killed 16 persons before being killed by the police. The massacre Whitman committed, besides being the first of the American massacres, has another peculiar and important feature we can’t find in any of the other massacres which took place afterwards: in a letter left by his wife’s corpse he asserts he can’t understand the reasons of the action he has just done (his mother’s and his wife’s murder) and of the one he was going to commit (massacre). Always in the same letter Whitman complained he had called for help a University doctor and had told him he was worried about his violent impulses and his continuous headaches he suffered from, but this help had been denied to him; but above all it’s surprising the fact that Whitman, in the ” explanation” letter, had asked to be subjected to autopsy because , this way, maybe, the reasons of some of his violent instincts should have found an explanation. In fact the autopsy the killer’s corpse was subjected to revealed the presence of a cerebral cancer at an advanced stage.

University-Tower

Since that far 1^st August 1966 massacres in America have taken place at a regular rhythm; a different motivation was given to every new case since killers themselves were the ones who would try to give a meaning to their action.

After fifty years the only acceptable motivation for such an estreme action as the one of commtting a massacre, is still, in our opinion, the one of Whitman; yet as far as we know no serious study has been done to try to understand how a cerebral cancer can modify, also make them extreme, the aggressive tendences which are already present in an individual. With the coming of Islamic terrorism anyone whose nature drives him to commit very violent actions like the ones of a massacre, might find very useful appealing to an ideological-religious motivation, at present a very strong one. In the case of Orlando massacre it isn’t our job to know whether Omar Mateen were really linked to, or at least inspired by, Islamic terrorists but the fact is that there is no real link with terrorism in a lot of American massacres.

As for us we have already widely reported, on the blog, our thesis concerning unexplained human aggressiveness with the entire sixth chapter – Rebellious Angels –from the original book Il Virus intelligente [2].

The reference to the American massacres is particularly in the first three posts [3].

On the base of this thesis unexplained human aggressiveness the phenomenon of the American massacres is included in, is a part of a genetic feedback mechanism or negative retraction which has to contain the abnormal growth of human population. After the genetic feedback mechanism or negative retraction was widely studied and now it’s acknowledged to be really active in animal population, I think that it can work effectively in human population as well.

Explaining, in this post, the genetic feedback mechanism or negative retraction in human population should be too long and so we refer to the already published posts.
