Hey mythili!
Yes, that is entirely correct. He was out of control and isolated from others but isn't that exactly the kind of candidate that is ripe for mind control? In my reasoning, if the relating Hexagram would have been almost any other than Hexagram 9 or the Taming Power of the Small with Line 4, the line of the minister accentuated(outside agency in service to the government which is pretty much what the CIA is), I would have also dismissed his actions as that of just one sick individual operating alone. But alas there seems to have been some kind of outside agency involved in guiding his actions that is clearly hinted at by the I Ching.The mirror image for Hex 44.4 is 9.4 which reads:
Six in the fourth place means:
If you are sincere, blood vanishes and fear gives way.
No blame.
If one is in the difficult and responsible position of counselor to a powerful man, one should restrain him in such a way that right may prevail. therein lies a danger so great that the threat of actual bloodshed may arise. Nonetheless, the power of disinterested truth is greater than all these obstacles. It carries such weight that the end is achieved, and all danger of bloodshed and all fear disappear.
Bloodshed indeed happened. Scary.

I'm not crazy, therefore I am a rational person and can honestly say I do NOT know anything for sure. I only know how it appears to me. The Oracle is a mirror to ones own consciousness, yes? Therefore, the person deciphering is doing so through ones own consciousness. I am merely trying to make sense of what the Oracle answered me through my own reasoning which is hence the Oracle's reasoning as it is a mirror of my own consciousness. There is no clear line between the Oracle and myself. What I see is based on the symbols that correspond to archetypes already slumbering in my own subconscious which is tied to the subconscious of all beings, this is the inherent synchronicity element the Oracle operates on. It may or may not be the complete Truth but just one puzzle piece. This is just one way it chooses to appear to me. As with any divination tool, the answer lies in the eyes of the beholder.
I understand what you are saying though. You think that I may be twisting the words of the Oracle to suit my own beliefs? Isn't that the whole point? As in dream interpretation where you have to find your own meaning? Or are you saying that the Oracle is completely objective?
Interesting that the idea of mind control comes up in these hexagrams. Perhaps this is a reference to the question about whether he was influenced by the negative political ads politicians like Palin were posting.

Well that would demolish the US Constitution, already being unraveled and torn apart before our eyes. However will you protect yourself and your family if someone broke into your home? Not only that, the founding fathers were careful to make it the 2nd Amendment after freedom of speech since that would keep the people armed in case of the rise of a tyrannical govt entity. Gun control would just give more power to the government military complex and organized crime, I mean look how the mafia burgeoned after the Prohibition.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
