Chris Kyle was put into a hypnotic trance by Eddie Routh who accessed hypnotic anchors implanted during treatment Kyle received as part of his PTSD treatment. Routh then emptied a 9mm magazine into Chad Littlefield before switching to a 45 and murdering Kyle. Routh himself fits the profile of a subject of hypnotic mind control and performed this as a programmed task. This assassination was planned by Satanists in the Dallas area (latitude N 33) who were looking for a public sacrifice of a significant American timed to occur on the 33rd day of 2013. This day (February 2nd) is known as the Candlemas holiday to some Satanic groups, and the numbers 33 and 13 have special significance in Satanism.
