Who is Red John?

Theories of alexandrediori (2)

I read a theory that I disagreed with, yet upon doing so a possible clue was revealed regarding Ray Haffner as Red John:

Food for thought:

In my opinion, the character of Red John is too smart to make a move like the one made in the argument above. I suspect Ray Haffner is the last "RED Herring" in the series, before the real Red John is revealed.

It is plausible that the Real Red John set this whole situation up, to make Ray look like Red John. I suspect Ray did have something to do with the death of the private eye, however he is not Red John. A tattoo with three marks? This clue was too easy, almost as if it was fed to us to accept.

I suspect, the real puppeteer behind the scenes, is orchestrating the down fall of the Desert Rose list of suspects. Ask yourself, why would the real Red John share a list of 7 names that his identity was on, only to implicate himself. He has been in control of himself and countless others for a very long time, while evading capture ...only to be found on a final list of 7?

Then again, Loreleis intervention changed things - so it is possible, although I don't think so. Red John is a ghost of a character, and my concern of course is with the show ramping down with the final season and the reveal around the corner - I feel the real Red John's identity will be found out, but he will simply elude capture leaving the last part of Season 6 focusing the loop on the Tyger Club and Visualize.

Well, I won't list the reasons which leads me to believe that Partridge is RJ, because others already did it even better that I could.

I want to draw your attention to two interesting and suspicious points:

1. Someone possibly have said it already, but in the beggining of seasons finale Lisbon shows up with her hand injuried and not a single explanation is given. She just said that hurts in the night before: the night of the murder. Is Lisbon a RJs accomplice?

2. What if the list is fake and was previously prepared by Jane? Do you remember when he puts a stick in the door? He could have prepared the entire board, knowing that RJs would have access (by a CBI helper or by Kirkland - even if he's not a Red Johns guy or RJ himself, he could have been spied) and, in this way, make RJ thinks that have advantage when in fact is the opposite, because Patrick would know that RJs just thinks that he restricted the suspicion to that 7, however, he restricted to a list even shorter or have anothers extra-suspects.

The thing is, based on the idea of Jane having a different list than that one cited by RJ:
1. If RJ is someone in the supposed fake list, Patrick could be closer than Red John thinks (thinking that the real list is shorter)
2. If RJ is someone out of the supposed fake list*, Jane makes RJ feels relieved deceiving him and making more clear the far RJs can reach

* I know Heller said that RJ is someone on the 7 of Jane's list, however, he may have...lied. I guess he did it before, isn't he?


Anyone support this line of reasoning, Jane's being clever than the series make it looks, dodging including RJ, playing the fool when his suspect list is revealed by him?

(PS: Sorry for the english, I'm brasilian and not fluent, but did my best to make it as clear as I could, hope it's not confuse)
