LATEST THEORIES

SO HERE IS MY THEORY. IT MAY BE NONSENSICAL AND STUPID BUT TRUST ME THIS IS WHAT I THINK


There are basically 2 organisations. The CORRUPT LAW ENFORCEMENT GROUP(CLEG) and the VISUALIZE CULT GROUP (VCG) .

Red john is being funded by Visualize and that is why he got most of his resources from and probably Bret Stiles is behind it too. The CLEG is probably are a bunch of high ranking corrupts that do dirty works within the law enforcement which uses the code word tiger tiger.I bet Lisbon is also part of it somehow. The organisation have been hunting down red john and also using the work of red john to do the killings at some point. Red John at the other hand being hunted and framed by CLEG tries to lead Patrick to find out about the CLEG by giving him clues firstly the tiger tiger poem. Patrick at the same time is being used by the law enforcement group especially Gale Betram to get information on Red john. Red john is trying to make patrick think that he is a part of the CLEG. Then he wanted patrick to eliminate the key members of the corrupt law enforcement group. The 3 hooligans which is Gale betram, smith and mcallister. Ray Haffner and Bret stiles are on the same side and pretty much working together, supporting Red John and not RED JOHN THEMSELVES. I may not think that Bret stiles is red john father but that might be an interesting plot. Taking down the CLEG was red john prior motive. Red john is a charming man who could easily bring women down to his knees and money to make a man does his dirty work. Bruno Heller said red john was there from the start. We just don't know who but I KNOW ;)  Red John , from the description given and from clues of s06e01 and s06e02, is and will obviously be Bret Patridge :) If not then it could be a disappointing Kirkland theory or the absurd Ray Haffner theory or worst an unknown who make his first appearance on season 6 as Red John

I think the clue in 06x01 Bruno Heller was talking about (if there's one) is right in this scene. Not a theory, just some thoughts.

- Thers's a red thing on the table (00:10) but I think this is irrelevant

- Look at PJ's face at the moment when Partridge comes (00:30), could it be that some element made him realize Brett is RJ?

- 'You truly don't know?' Ok now imagine PJ and RJ are two masterminds and RJ is Partridge, it could be that when they're facing each other (01:35), both of them know PJ has figured out that Partridge id RJ, that is why in the same episode, Partridge fakes his own death to try and make PJ believe he is not RJ.

- There's the same cop walking around in the background. Look carefully (00:14 by the boat, 00:27, 00:48, 01:13, 01:33). Why would he walk randomly around the crime scene?

Just thoughts guys, peace. <3

Can't really give a while lot of explanation here, but I just can't shake the feeling that this is all going to lead back to Brett.  I haven't checked future episodes for cast listing, because I don't want to spoil the surprise for myself, but I really hope I'm right.  He seems perfect for this, and being presumed dead is so consistent with the whole biblical motif that's going on.

Not a theory, just a fun coincidence: Jack Plotnick´s character on Criminal minds is called Tanner Johnson, which is composite of Red John minions surnames (Todd Johnson, Dumar Tanner and Orville Tanner).

Guys i have found out about the conspiracy behind the mentalist show.
Red john is a real person because visualize is a real organisation
masked by the name CBS. You can see for yourself , visualize and CBS
both have same symbol. That means Red John is someone real so my guess
is that Red John is no one other than Nicholas Cage himself. he fits
rosalinds profile and his last name is cage which sounds like prison ,
and Red John will be in prison when he is discovered.

For the long shot I go with Rosalind. She is misleading them with false clues, she's not really blind (the smiley face is a 'I see you but you can't see me' message. Connected from carnival days, possibly related to stiles. RJ disappears for a season, Rosalind is in witness protection. I think she has leverage against TT and blackmails to keep them covering her identity, although they do so without actual knowledge of her name etc, but also has followers loyal to her. Abuse me all you want, it's my opinion and we are all entitled to one! If you disagree, so be it. I also wonder if PJ himself could be RJ. I don't know. The fun is in the guessing.
