s608 - reede smith gets arrested, red john will be gale bertram.

Hi. 

Who has sent that message "Patrick wants to see you" to Stiles? 

I think we're all looking at this in such a simple way. Nobody knows who Red John is so why would he have to be one person. Nobody said he was one person so maybe he is a name of an idea. 3 people have the 3 dot tattoo which could symbolize the 3 of them that make up Red John.

Between the 3 of them they can have a solid alibi no matter which one of them is committing a Red John related crime.

I think the reason he only made one shot is because out of the 3 of them only 1 could have killed his wife. The other 2 would probably be left tied up to burn in the explosion.

Just a point observed:

When Jane got the clue of three dots tattoo, ideally he could have assembled all the suspects on his own... but he lets the team know (Lisbo, Wayne, Cho, Sexy Grace) and yet... except for Haffner, he himself invites all the suspects.

Why did he inform entire team? Not at all Patrick Jane's style.... Does he doubt anyone in the team?
May be that explains Bret Stiles receiving note saying "PJ is lukin 4 u...". May be not... Thoughts??

Even when he solves any case, he never gives the facts right away to the team... he always reveals the killer and then explains.

Patrick's game again??? Possibly??? More than possible... its probable... isn't it?

The main reason I believe this is... If PJ believes that it is a vital clue against Red John, he will never ever reveal it to a second person including Lisbon....

Unless there is someone on RJ's side from Patrick's team, I will be disappointed... coz any other twist will not be as good as this....

C'mon Patrick....

I am certin of one thing only.
I think that the tatto that this girl who was supposed to bug Cho's office really refers to TT group, which DOES NOT work with Red John.
Look at this more closely - RJ is too smart to send some girl to bug CBI, if he had his team of TT there all along.
So this leads to a theory, which most of you discovered, but no on said id at loud.
I think one of TT member killed this girl, and she was trying to make a clue for police, so they can find her killer. She wasnt aware that her killer was one of the police officers, also a vizualise member.
This means that either Jane got tricked by his own mental issues with cathing Red John as soons as possible, or he knows all this things but plays with us and with RJ himself to mislead him.
If i would've guessed who is RJ now - i would say its Michael Kirkland.
Watch the scene when RJ rescued PJ - he asks him "Do you know who i am? do you recognise me?" Bob Kirkland asks same thing. Maybe he dont want to let in his mind the thought of his brother being RJ.. I dont know.
But still, Patrridge theories seems plausable, but also a little bit far-fetched. If RJ doesnt work with TT, it would be a problem for him to fake his death. Either way, if RJ faked his death multiple times before, he would gone off with this without anyone noticing.
I think its a little bit too confusing, but Heller knows what he's doing.

So summing:
*RJ doesnt work for TT
*TT hired this girl to bug Cho's office
*RJ is either Partridge or Michael Kirkland

What do you think?
(sorry about my bad english - im from Poland and its my first post here)
Hope you enjoy real answer for RJs identity!

I think there are something hidden in the tyger tyger poem if you compare together with the lamb poem:

"The Tyger" is the sister poem to "The Lamb" (from "Songs of Innocence"),
a reflection of similar ideas from a different perspective (Blake's
concept of "contraries"), with "The Lamb" focusing more goodness. "The
Tyger" presents a duality between aesthetic beauty and primal ferocity.
The speaker wonders whether the hand that created "The Lamb" also
created "The Tyger”

Seems that patrick jane is the lamb and red john is the tiger. So, we can relate red john with "primal ferocity", but with "aesthetic beauty"?

Last night I ordered Chinese food and they packed it in this bag.

This startling revelation has opened up my mind to the truth.

I'm

now convinced that Red John and Tyger Tyger have ties to Chinese
restaurants and that fortune cookies are a method of persuasive mind
control created by Visualize. They're so subtle, yet effective. Red
John's disciples are a collaborative network of psychotic cashiers. They
have
access to databases that contain everyone's personal information,
because they have it on file from each pick-up order. When Lorelei
Martins says that Patrick and Red John could have been 'friends' when
they 'shook hands', she is eluding to the fact that Patrick, like the
rest of us, has taken from the Chinese while at the same time continuing
a relationship filled with tension and mistrust. The Tiger and the
Dragon are both central creatures on the Chinese calender. The color red
is a common theme in almost every Chinese restaurant. The Chinese flag
is 'Red All Over.' Most of the Mentalist episode titles contain the word
'red.' This is the 'Lie' within the 'Truth' that the S6, Episode 7
promo was hinting towards. Red John is masterminding China's rise to
power. Global domination is the highest level of achievement and the
true goal of Visualize. It's up to Patrick to discover this dark truth
and take measures to stop this threat before it's too late. The true
identity of Red John is.....Xi Jingping, China's president. It explains
how he is able to travel around so quickly without being discovered. He
has all the connections in the known world and the means to conceal anything he pleases. It would also provide some insight as to why he has a fondness for murdering females.
