Resentment of the U.S. government and suspicions over the 9/11 attacks have surfaced in writings by the Californian identified as the gunman who shot two Pentagon police officers before he was mortally wounded in a hail of return fire.
Signs emerged that Bedell harbored ill feelings toward the government and the armed forces, and had questioned the circumstances behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
In an Internet posting, a user by the name JPatrickBedell wrote that he was "determined to see that justice is served" in the death of Marine Col. James Sabow, who was found dead in the backyard of his California home in 1991. The death was ruled a suicide but the case has long been the source of theories of a cover up.
The user named JPatrickBedell wrote the Sabow case was "a step toward establishing the truth of events such as the September 11 demolitions."

I think that youre title shouldve said Pentagon shooter rallied against U.S. government on internet. Otherwise it is very misleading to say the least
The 36-year-old gunman who shot two Pentagon police officers before he was fatally wounded was one of the best circuit design students at San Jose State University, but also a troubled man with a serious drug problem, the Mercury News has learned.
At a news conference in Washington, D.C., today, authorities said Bedell had been on a road trip from the West Coast to Washington. Police did not disclose a motive, despite Internet ramblings by a JPatrickBedell who wrote that he was "determined to see that justice is served" in the death of Marine Col. James Sabow, who was found dead in the backyard of his California home in 1991.
A number of official investigations have concluded that Sabow committed suicide. Members of his family have long insisted this to be untrue and say that Sabow was murdered because he knew of weapons- and drug-smuggling activities at the base.
WASHINGTON John Patrick Bedell may have left red flags all over the internet, including blog posts about 9/11 being a hoax, and YouTube videos ranting about a complex system of "information currency," but it seems that no one was listening. Or at least no one that would do anything to prevent his alleged rampage at the Pentagon Thursday night.
A Wikipedia entry linked to Bedell, posted under the name JPatrickBedell, says that he intended to "see that justice is served in the death of Colonel James Sabow, as a step toward establishing the truth of events such as the September 11 demolitions and institutions such as the coup regime of 1963 that maintains itself in power through the global drug trade, financial corruption, and murder, among other crimes."
Col. Sabow's 1991 death was ruled a suicide but has long been referenced by 9/11 conspiracy theorists, and his own family, as a precursor to the "9/11 demolitions" and an effort to cover-up the government's involvement with the attacks.
A YouTube video, posted by the username jpbedell2006 lays out a theory called "information currency," which describes a "a framework for information management that uses financial markets to create the economic signals (prices) that will effect complex human actions in the real world based on specified information."
In an odd parallel effort, Bedell also condemns what he calls "unjust laws, cannabis prohibition" in the Wikipedia post linked to him, and says he grew 16 cannabis plants on his balcony in Irvine, CA in order to protest those laws

No its not, it gives a complete picture and makes it obvious, in plain site obvious, what just went down. In fact, I've noticed all the news stories lately have weird implications and ramifications.
He's a truther, and was just set up and murdered. I can feel this with every bone in my body.

It's very irrelevant that he did so on the Internet...
I'm sure if this was 50 years ago, he would have wrote the same things either down on paper, or submitted an article to his local newspaper to express his views...
Are we gonna now monitor Hilroy and/ the NYT's>?
Hill said that Bedell has been on the department's radar since 2003, when deputies found him walking along the side of the road. They wrote him up as a "5150" - police code for crazy - and took him to his parents house.
Hill said that Bedell, 36, has been at in-patient mental health institutions at least four times.
In addition to vast conspiracy theories, Thursday's pentagon shooter had an idea for a new currency based on knowledge.
John Patrick Bedell was a "genius" circuit design student at San Jose State University and a "pothead," sources told Mercury News.
Here's our best interpretation of his Youtube economic
manifesto:
* A creator uploads his creation to the Internet.
* Authorities issue him units of Information Currency (IC).
* Bloggers and other disseminators of news that want to use the content give the creator units of Monetary Currency (MC) for units of IC.
* New internet users give MC for IC, and then use the IC to obtain Verification Certificates (VC).
* VC's strengthen the bond between user and creator.

I remember that lady that met Obama dying, I thought it was an odd coincidence at the time.

No self important terrorist would go to work without cammo, would they?
Was he "out of his mind"? Likely .... after all, he was a hop head.
A hop head trying to find a source, might just have found that source. At that point silencing became mandatory.
