Pentagon gunman sought ‘truth’ about 9/11
Internet postings linked to the suspected gunman in a Pentagon subway shooting suggest long-held frustration with the government’s reach into the private life of Americans.
The suspect, John Patrick Bedell, 36, died after exchanging gunfire with two police officers. He spent weeks driving to the Capital area from the West Coast, authorities said Friday.
A blog connected to him via the social networking site LinkedIn outlines a growing distrust of the federal government. The blog suggests a criminal enterprise run out of the government could have staged the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
It was the latest batch of conspiracy-laden Internet postings to surface since Thursday night’s shooting.

Pentagon gunman sought ‘truth’ about 9/11
What did I tell you folks about 9-11 Truthers? They are nothing but moonbats, barking at the moon MORONS that have NO clue regarding the REAL enemies of this nation! I posted my feelings about 9-11 Truthers here: The TRUTH about 9-11 Truthers
Keevill described Bedell as “very well educated” and well-dressed, saying Bedell was wearing a suit, armed with two 9 millimeter semiautomatic weapons and carried “many magazines” of ammunition. There was more ammunition in Bedell’s car, which authorities found in a local parking garage, Keevill said.
Noting that Bedell was wearing a suit, Keevill said: “There was no indication based on the way he was dressed that he had hostile intent.”
John Patrick Bedell, as well educated, and as well dressed as he may have been, was simply a dupe of the 9-11 Truther movement.
Regarding his clothing, and it being NO indicator of his hostile intent, tell me what you think a terrorist looks like. In comments, describe to me exactly what you believe a terrorist looks like.
Bedell having 2 9mm semiautomatic pistols and several extra magazines doesn’t qualify as being all that well armed in my estimation. The words, well armed and 9mm don’t go well together.
And for those PC individuals that are afraid to use the word TERRORIST for fear of offending, I am NOT one of those people. John Patrick Bedell was a REAL domestic terrorist, much the same as Ft. Hood shooter Malik Nadal Hasan. The big difference being, Bedell is DEAD! One less 9-11 Truther moonbat!
Debra Medina, the recently defeated GOP candidate here in Texas, is rumored to have ties with the 9-11 Truther movement. Medina has denied those allegations.
Granted, her denial came after she was asked by radio host Glenn Beck, “Do you believe the government was in any way involved with the bringing down of the World Trade Center on 9-11?” Debra Medina is a 9-11 Truther
That’s about as straight forward a question as can be asked, but Medina never gave a yes or no answer, she launched into a rambling tirade that left many wondering what the hell she had just said. She later issued a statement that was suppose to clarify the rambling tirade. It didn’t.
My point is, we, the citizens of the United States, don’t need people like that in office. Those that further this 9-11 Truther conspiracy are doing nothing to help our nation. I don’t mourn the death of John Patrick Bedell, but I have to wonder, the recent publicity that the 9-11 Truthers have received during the Texas gubernatorial race, could that possibly have been a catalyst?
The user named JPatrickBedell wrote the Sabow case was “a step toward establishing the truth of events such as the September 11 demolitions.”
That same posting railed against the government’s enforcement of marijuana laws and included links to the author’s 2006 court case in Orange County, Calif., for cultivating marijuana and resisting a police officer. Court records available online show the date of birth on the case mentioned by the user JPatrickBedell matches that of the John Patrick Bedell suspected in the shooting.
There were signs. There are ALWAYS signs. Malik Nadal Hasan left signs that he was going to be engaging in Jihad. The 9-11 terrorists that used airliners to attack the World Trade Center and the Pentagon left signs. In our FREE society, many of those signs went unnoticed, or were simply overlooked, or possibly ignored.
We’re seeing an increase in nonsensical attacks, Official: Plane crash pilot left anti-IRS Web note. I can’t think of a better way to describe it, nonsensical.
Many on the left are trying desperately to link the TEA Party to various anti-American groups, they are trying to convince the innocent viewer that the TEA Party is anti-government.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Please read the CORE VALUES and Mission Statement of The Rowlett TEA Party, then make your own decision. We are NOT anti-American anything, we’re not a part of the 9-11 Truther movement and we don’t support the enemies of America.
It is beyond me how ANY American can question the WHO DID IT of the 9-11 attacks. It is beyond my comprehension how ANY so-called American could attack the Pentagon and shoot those officers. Only someone that is not right in the head would do such a thing.
John Patrick Bedell committed those acts and was a 9-11 Truther.
But I digress.
To the so-called 9-11 Truthers:
Fact: 19 Muslim men hijacked 4 airplanes. 15 of the terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. 3 planes flew into buildings, the 4th one the passengers fought back. Almost 3,000 people died that day.
Fact: The Mossad does not use Muslims. And no Jews were informed not to go into work the day before. To believe other not only shows your anti-Semitism, but also shows your true IQ to be under (50).
Fact: No matter how much you hate this country, the truth is that the US DID NOT stage the 9-11 attacks. Muslims and only Muslims did. Blame them!
Message to those who think the Tea Party Patriots are anti-Government!
Tea Party Patriots are for government that was designed by our founding fathers and outlined in the Constitution of the United States of America! You know, the government by the People, for the People??? We are against the corrupt government that ignores the Constitution and We the People in order to promote socialist agendas and destroy this great country.
We are resolved to expose corruption where it exists and to make our voices heard AT THE POLLS!!!!
Need I say more?
Well done, again Fred.
I told y’all in the story, there is ALWAYS a SIGN!
HOLLISTER, Calif. (AP) - The Pentagon shooter had been behaving erratically, and his family feared in January that he had bought a gun, a law enforcement official said Friday.
San Benito County Sheriff Curtis Hill told the AP the parents of John Patrick Bedell filed a missing persons report and were worried about his mental stability. After reading an e-mail from their son to an acquaintance, the parents told deputies they were worried that he had purchased a gun.
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.
Parents of Pentagon shooter warned authorities
There are a lot of crazies out there and some obsure event will often set them off. Who knows what the tipping point on this guy was. I also heard he was afraid that the government was about to crack down on marijuana use. Sounds like a pot head and a 9/11 truther, not a good mix. In and out of mental health institutions-must have gotten his guns on the black market!
I wonder just how long it’ll take for pisslousy or some other whack job
like olberman, bill maher, etc,etc to associate him with the TEA PARTY? You can bet your honest dollar that it IS going to be connected to the incident.
Looking at the personal info of this shooter, well, he stands out as a kook. Had a grudge for over 19 years, says a lot. He also got busted for growing pot.
Still living at home with parents at 36?
As a retired Fed LEO, the issue caliber is .40 S&W.
Some with seniority carry 10 mm.
Both calibers are absolutely flesh tearing augers done in a millisecond.
At one time way back, our caliber was 9mm, and issued sidearm a Model 39 Smith& Wesson. No one trusted it’s stopping power. Any Officer with 7 years seniority could carry their own preference in caliber, as long as monthly qualifications were met and sustained.
Still, this shooter got the first 2 shots off clean, and only caused slight wounds due to his poor, untrained bullet placement.
And that is very good in this particular bushwhack.
This actions of this shooter will cause our training of guards to be stepped up a notch.
These people are all insane, period. How long will it take before this is turned into an anti gun story? Let’s see, convicted felon, mentally ill and only God knows what other disqualifications he had that should have prevented him from being a gun owner…
Yeah, but c’mon Patrick, you KNOW those qualifiers only apply to guys like us…
I am totally surprised that this isn’t an anti-gun story already… Give em time, the MSM never misses a chance…
“Truthers” are, clearly, as you state, nutters — plain and simple. They likely see a conspiracy in a box of Cocoa Puffs. And it’s interesting: listening to the news I heard my local station describe the man as “armed with an ARSENAL.” Yes, TF, an ARSENAL. Two handguns and some mags. That’s an ARSENAL. Guess they don’t want to check my gunsafe. But of course I might be the next guy to commit mass murder because, after all, I attended a Tea Party.

First, just let me say that friends don’t let friends carry 9mm.
Second, can you say lacks focus?
“He spent weeks driving to the Capital area from the West Coast”
(most of us could get to the east coast in a matter of days, stopping each night for rest…)
“cultivating marijuana and resisting a police officer”
(c’mon, duuude - what are you gonna be? a pot head slacker, or an activist? everybody knows that pot head slackers don’t resist arrest - they embrace it! they use it to justify there more intense involvement with the wonder drug! duuuude, where’d you get your indoctrination, man?)
“described Bedell as “very well educated” and well-dressed”
(oh, man - you mean you went and got educated while you were at college? man, you musta missed out on the primo partys, man. no wonder you don’t know all the rules, duuude, you really gotta lose the preppie look or you won’t be taken seriously as an anarchist who just wants to grow and blow, man.)
These 9/11 Truthers are unhinged. Not all are violent, but many have the potential to be.
Anyway, what kind of a NUTJOB goes marching up to the Pentagon like Bedell did. Sheesh.
I heard tonight that he liked to “self-medicate” with marijuana. Just like my neighbor’s adult son, also a 9/11 Truther. Heh.
If these nutbars actually think the government staged the 9/11 attacks than the government must have also organized the plane that crashed into the IRS building in Texas as well.
It’s clear to me now, there are no actual criminals in this country on government conspiracies.
These “Truthers” drove this guy to the brink and he shot at policemen at the Pentagon.
Just like the way Al Gore drove those people in Argentina to commit suicide and kill their own kids because they feared global warming. When will these people be held accountable for what comes out of their mouths?

The media will try to tie this attack to the Tea Party movement, but this man was a far left moonbat, he had nothing in common with the Tea Party movement. Luckily the influence the mainstream media once had is waning, people realize that their agenda is now.
I don’t really care what he was carrying, he was a damn nutbag. He was nothing more than lost 9-11 truther with a mental problem.
I’m not too concerned that Olberdouche or any other lefty, libturd progressive radio or tv show dickwad links him to the tea party…I am concerned that his action will spark a renewed gun grab effort, every one of these douchebags that use a gun under the guise of disgust over the government does nothing but help the anti’s in their quest to disarm the American people.
Oh and YES I have a 9mm, among a couple of other handguns, and rifles, and a 9mm is just as deadly as anything else given the operator is in double tap range of the target.
