Is the DC Sniper 'Drawing' a Celtic Cross?

Mondo Washington

Sign of the Celtic Cross
Is a Pattern Emerging to the D.C. Shootings?

WASHINGTON, D.C.—One theory zipping around the Internet today is that this city’s sniper killings are the work of a person or persons methodically etching the outlines of the Celtic cross onto the map. The Celtic cross is a ringed cross, and while it plays a part in Christian theology, it is also a pagan symbol.
If there’s any truth to this notion, that means the next killings will be somewhere north of Washington in Maryland, perhaps between the town of Frederick and Baltimore. Then the sniper(s) will proceed down the Chesapeake Bay, killing someone around Annapolis and repeating murders along the bay.

Some are seeing similarities between the killer(s) and the Zodiac Killer of the early 1990s. He set out to murder one person for each astrological sign—a plan that he relayed to both the media and cops. The sniper(s) so far have shot a young boy, a young mother, an elderly man, a cab driver, a landscaper, a government scientist, and last night a man who had just finished filling his tank at a Manassas, Virginia, gas station.

All the shootings have been sniper style: one shot. The shootings occurred near main thoroughfares—the Beltway around Washington, and last night on Route 66 heading from Washington west into Virginia.

As for the death tarot card, Biddy Tarot, a professional tarot reader, provides a thumbnail description on her Web site (biddytarot.com). Death is ruled by the Scorpio sign of "sex, death, and taxes." The armor worn by Death shows him to be invincible. No one has triumphed over death. Death does indeed ride a white horse (the white truck), the sign of the purifier.

"All sectors of the human race are represented here, men, women and children. Death is not a respecter of age, race, or gender."

A Celtic Cross, give me a fucking break. The words 'straws,' 'clutching' and 'at' spring to mind.

Maybe it is someone in The Reel I R A........
or was it Elvis, Shergar, or some NRA member?

My own pet theory is that it's some highly trained special forces nut who has flipped out having come back from Afghanistan. Reap what you sow......

The way that there has not been much publicity about it until the pas day or so. I mean compared with the total mania about the talcum powder 'anthrax' last year. If they suspected it was a 'foreign terrorist' there would be a lot more publicity I think.
