First Joe Stack, Now John Patrick Bedell

Looks like a 911 truther that hated Cheney, grew pott,was arrested for it in the past and was probabaly under its influence/delusions when he did it.

Also, PAUL: MANY on the Far-right are extreme economic libertarians and socially libertarian (therefore, they are pro-pot). That you do not know this telling…..many libertarians are Tea Partiers…..

“The Onion” had a joke story a few years back about helping schizos by imbedding messages in radio transmissions, books, newspapers, and having helpful government operatives follow them around.
More crazy people (whether “rightwing”, Islamist,”leftwing”, drugged up, or plain “crazy”) are going to go even more crazy when the government starts buying into their theories and making statements that they are the main threat. Take already paranoid minority of people and then start policies like: CCTV cameras everywhere, RF id tagged licenses and passports, email/cellphone tapping everyone, automatic license plate readers, health “czars” having access to all your personal health information, secret courts, secret prisons, free speech zones, gun grabs, etc! Logicially do you think some of paranoids will start to “act out” especially in times when the economy is crashed and taxes, fees, and fines are rising?

John Patrick Bedell and Joe Stack had more in common than the media seems willing to state. They were both techies from California. Both probably have had their job security/livelihoods thrown into shock since the H1B/L1 outsourcing/insourcing visas came into play. Thank Microsoft, Oracle, Whirlpool, et al, for their small contribution to the rise in terrorist activity? Maybe?

It is pretty obvious this “target of opportunity” is being used by ABC and it’s competetors to further demonize and marginalize all of us who are willing to look at reality. They would have us believe longstanding mental issues did not have as much to do with this guy’s actions as being a 9/11 Truther or using medical marijuana within the law.
To anyone who is willing to look at the evidence, it is clear that the government’s “conspiracy theory” on 9/11 is patently false. I recommend to all honest people who believe the goverment’s tale of two towers and a pentagram the video, “Core of Corruption” which is available on Google video. It is almost exclusively clips of mainstream media coverage on the morning of September 11, 2001, and CSPAN clips of Congressional hearings that confirm the disinformation and coverup of the facts surrounding the ruthless attack. What we have been conditioned to remember is NOT what happened.
But a warning: Telling the truth in an age when everyone is lying is a radical act. You might find yourself labeled an extremeist, nutbag, wingnut, tin foil hat, or TERRORIST. On the plus side, based on the Department of Homeland Security’s criteria, being called a potential terrorist is a compliment to any moral, freedom loving American.

“Like the ranting suicide note/manifesto that Stack posted on the Web, we already are finding digital clues to help explain Bedell’s motive, including possible Sept. 11 conspiracy theories and anger over anti-marijuana laws and previous bust.”
Boy, this well-worn narrative of Joe Stack’s well-articulated suicide note sure is getting old. Maybe some of these so-called “bloggers” ought to get rid of their computers and get an education. It’s clear they spend far too much time typing and far too little reading.

They “shared a resentment towards the government and an interest in the internet.” That’s like writing nothing at all. It’s like writing that two guys in the sixties shared an interest in rock and roll, and the fear of being drafted. How can you make them alike, except in their misery? While rock and roll took the edge off the fear of death in a jungle for nothing, the internet clearly offers the pleasure of being remembered and played back, in a world going nowhere for most people. I personally think rock and roll was more fun.

I believe, for the most part, that what Paul wrote is worth repeating. Please folks, don’t immediately trust the media like a good little sheep and investigate things on your own from time to time.
