LATEST THEORIES

Not a theory, just some weird questions about the last episode.

Stiles received the note after the team debrief, cooper, reede and McAllister meeting. So one of them can be suspected to be the author of the note.

After the note scene, Haffner met Lisbon , in a public place, so maybe Lisbon is afraid somehow of Haffner.

After the visit in bertram's office, lisbon did a real weird and disappointed face, why ?

When Patrick Jane told everyone in the room that one of them is Red John because of the tatoo, Bertram take a interesting look on his right as if He is thinking about it.

Red John = Reede Smith....

The name  "Reede" translates to " Red one " in Old English...So his name is really " Red Smith "....

Also...The RJ alias " Roy Taliaferro " translates to "King Smith "....

Further ..... The name " Smith " itself is from the Old English word "smitan", which means " to strike "....

So Reede Smith = "The Red One Who Strikes" with the alias " The King who strikes "

Read the poem "Tyger Tyger " by William Blake...It describes a mythical godlike "Smith " who creates a fearsome, deadly creature in a furnace that exists either in heaven or hell....He uses a hammer and anvil to imbue this "dread" creature with terror and death...

Blake isn't talking about a real tiger of course... which is why he misspells it " Tyger "...The Tyger symbolizes the evil that exists in this world ...And Blake asks how the same smith that created the Tyger could create a person like Jesus of Nazareth (the lamb )

Red John also thinks of himself as a godlike ( Smith-Reede Smith ) who can create an evil entity of great power....and he has created the  Tyger-Tyger Organization

Not so much a theory, if RJ turns out to be Reede, I would be really dissapointed, dosent find him the least charasmatic as all the ladies following RJ says he is.

Haffner looks like a lost puppy , drooling over Lisbon, but that can be an act to try and take Lisbon away from Patrick.

Kirkland's
twin brother, oh my, hope not, thats like, when movie makers make a
great movie, and you really looking forward to the end , and aliens pops
up, even tho the actor would pull out playing the part, he could scare
the shit out of me.

Bertram, a charasmatic womanizer , the same for McAllister
, ?!? I think not, Brett Stiles on the other hand, I think he know how
to seduce a woman, and make her feel like she's the only one, just see
how Van Pelt in a way is seduced by him, but again there is the age to
consider.

You have by now understood who I want to be RJ ,
Partridge, ( I know he's supposed to be dead) , he is the only one who
really wants Patricks friendship, and awlways testing Patrick , when it
comes to RJ murders, he almost always gets it wrong on a crime scene
just to hear what Patrick has to say, he admires Mr. Jane in a sick way.

And
what better way to plan the two of them to meet, without the
interuption from others law enforments then to fake your own dead, and
setting up a meeting face to face and finally see who get's who ?

The simplest proof you will ever read. All you need to be able to do is count.This is a fact. Bruno Heller says Red John KILLED Partridge.

Lets be serious. The guy painting Lisbon's face is the same guy who killed the copycats. Its Ray Haffner. We see Ray Haffner carves up Partridge.

So Ray Haffner is Red John OR he takes orders from Red John. Next episode at the hospital, Ray Haffner says "I heard you were this close to Red John," implying Lisbon was near him physically.

So we're already down to 2 suspects:

- Ray Haffner
- Brett Partridge
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------But in Black-Winged Redbird, Patrick says Red John's just killed Sophie Miller. Then he goes on to say he's killed 2 people in the space of days. 2?.... Eileen Turner, Brett Partridge, Sophie Miller... That's 3, right? In Patrick's eyes, since he already knows Brett Partridge is Red John, he doesn't count him as a true victim. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What about Ray Haffner?

Well the clue is, in episode "Red John's Rules," you hear Partridge say "Red John's been laying low for years, working through friends and proxies."

So, Ray Haffner is a friend.

A lot of people are saying STOP THE BRETT PARTRIDGE THEORIES. HES DEAD.

Wake up.

1. Maybe it's BP maybe it's not BUT how on earth could one of the 7 suspects be killed BY RED JOHN and not be addressed or observed by Patrick !!! Red John was IN THAT HOUSE yet Patrick just went about his merry way. Wake up!!!

2. The actor was surprised and flattered to find out he's RJ, and was a Waldo. That's Partridge, Smith, and the Sherriff!

3. RJ wants to be Patricks friend. Ever see Patridges dialog with PJ?? It's SO OBVIOUS HE WANTS TO BE FRIENDS WITH HIM!!!!

4. Picture BERTRUM telling PJ he wants to be his buddy!! Idiotic. Picture Smith or Haffner doing it. NO WAY.

Remember. Jane gets RJ when RJ comes out and tries to offer Jane friendship. Does that work with ANY OF THE 7???

Just 1. Brett P

Finally i figured out who Red John is!

Red John is US President, Barack Obama.

1. First, the smiley. It looks identical with Obama smile.

2. Second, he killed because he was enourmously depressed with his workload as US president. Therefore, he need some fun and gain some ecstacy.

3. Bertram, Smith, Mc Allister, and Partridge were Obama associates. They cleaned up the mess make by RJ. RJ killed Partridge because RJ worried he will revealed to Mr. Jane his true identity. So was Kirkland.

4. Obama dont like to be humiliated. He liked Jane because he was a con man. He was a perfect candidates for the next Secretary General of White House.

5. He hunts Hightower because she rejected his love during college. They studied together in Hawaii before.

6. Obama spare Lisbon because she is hot and knows that Jane attracted to her. He killed Sophie, Miss Frye and Lorelei because he thinks all of them didnt fit Jane. Instead, all of them has fallen love to Jane. However, Jane refused and stayed loyal to Lisbon. RJ appreciated that and help him to deceased all of them out of records.

7. Visualize has large connection and Obama had to favor them to win more votes in the upcoming election. Last time, Obama realized all members of visualize contributes 30% of the total vote in the election. If he owned Stiles to vote for Democrat, Obama doesnt need to lobby the Jewish for swing votes anymore.

Thank you for reading!
Finally Red John is revealed!!!
