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...John Patrick Bedell, 36, of Hollister, Calif., was identified as the shooter. Officials said they'd found no immediate connection to terrorism but had not ruled it out.
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."
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...

Sis and I always joked around and called him ‘John Mellenhead Cougarcamp.’ He’s done a lot to deserve that name in his old age, LOL!
He was a busy, busy youngster!
“Mellencamp had trouble with the law as a teenager, including an arrest at age 8 for breaking and entering. He formed his first band, Crepe Soul, at the age of 14 [2] and later played in the local bands Trash and Snakepit Banana Barn. He eloped with his pregnant girlfriend, Priscella at the age of 18[2] and had his first child in December 1970-just six months after he graduated from high school.”
And then he grew into a socialist whackjob:
“In 1985, Mellencamp released Scarecrow — an organic record with socially-aware lyrics that was filled with songs focusing on the plight of the American family farmer, small-town life, and the state of the nation. Scarecrow is now considered a classic American rock album and marked the true beginning of Mellencamp as a serious social commentator. Shortly after finishing Scarecrow, Mellencamp helped organize the first Farm Aid benefit concert with Willie Nelson and Neil Young in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985. The Farm Aid concerts remain an annual event and have raised nearly $36 million for struggling family farmers as of 2009.”

Only $36 million raised in 24 years? Fail! Maybe some of us small farm operations should apply for some aid? Wonder what the parameters are? Will they give money to conservative farmers, or just pot growers? ;)
Only? That's a lot of only.
I was a Green Beret. I was on a Green Light nuclear weapons team. A lot of the old crew went over to Delta. Unlike the guys at Christians In Action, we actually had to do the grunt work of operations. The planning, the duck ups, the things that could, would and did go wrong are immense. The delusin that there exists some team, crew, company that could, out of the box pull off this is the terrain of movie fans.
Not, really....It is just a fact based on the design of the buildings. The notion that the perimeter columns carried 100% of the gravity load, as you contended, is false (movie terrain, if you will).
The perimeter columns shared the gravity load with the core columns and were nowhere near the maximum design load (I think that I read that the core columns were at 20% capacity and the perimeter columns were at 50% capacity). The buildings were designed to survive a strike from a 707 and had an incredible amount of redundancy designed and built into them. The damage to the structures, as a result of the aircraft impacts, does not explain the symmetrical collapses at near free-fall speeds.
In fact, NIST threw out the original pancake theory and, in the end, refused to even report on the collapses themselves. The fires, also, do not explain the symmetrical collapses at near free-fall speeds.
So, what does?
The Underwriters Laboratory's and NIST's testing of models, under the same conditions, failed to produce a collapse of any sort.
So, how did we get three symmetrical collapses at near free-fall speeds in the same day? What is the probabilty of that occurrence?
Speaking of physics, how does one explain the conservation of momentum and energy in these collapses?
I was a Green Beret. I was on a Green Light nuclear weapons team.
Thank you for your service.
The delusin that there exists some team, crew, company that could, out of the box pull off this is the terrain of movie fans.
You didn't seem to mind your delusion that omitted the 47 huge core columns...movie fans seem to love that one, though.
And...prior to the collapse of these buildings, had you never seen a symmetrical collapse of a building? Obviously, it has been done before, which was a result of the work of expert crews, and was not the terrain of movie fans.
The WTT were unique in their structure. And, by the way, none had been controlled demolition ever. Another varible, that the ghost company had to deal with.
All falling objects approach free fall. Don't know what so special about that.
I doubt the WTT where designed to withstand a 707 impact. Please give me a link to the original source engineering specs.
A-ha! A Dangerous Right Wing Extremist! Because everybody knows that only super patriot Radical Right Wingers don't like the US government! [/sarcasm]
Your stated doubt could be evidence of more of your movie terrain going. And...how in the world did you make a comment about engineering and physics with no knowledge of the building's design?
"We looked at every possible thing we could think of that could happen to the buildings, even to the extent of an airplane hitting the side," said John Skilling, head structural engineer. "However, back in those days people didn't think about terrorists very much."
Skilling, based in Seattle, is among the world's top structural engineers. He is responsible for much of Seattle's downtown skyline and for several of the world's tallest structures, including the Trade Center.
Concerned because of a case where an airplane hit the Empire State Building, Skilling's people did an analysis that showed the towers would withstand the impact of a Boeing 707.
"Our analysis indicated the biggest problem would be the fact that all the fuel (from the airplane) would dump into the building. There would be a horrendous fire. A lot of people would be killed," he said. "The building structure would still be there."

Use the link and read the article, which was printed in 1993 after the WTC bombing. Interesting comments.
All falling objects approach free fall. Don't know what so special about that.
So, how, exactly, did these three buildings become "falling objects" with in tact steel structures below them? Why didn't the intact steel structures below them impede, at all, their falling?
We know that in controlled building demolitions this condition is engineered and made to occur, in the collapse, via explosives, which remove the resistance of each successive floor. How did it happen in the three WTC collpases?
Well... At least we know we didn’t lose you yesterday.
Sarah Jessica Parker?
Look'it, y'all need to grow up and stop bein' babies about this, it's simply a crime that has not been investigated and prosecuted.
No emotion necessary on that level, it's just a job, ok?
So get to work, already.
Find a thread you can hang with and start pullin', for me it was the controlled demo.
I spent many years working closely with same, so it struck a chord.
It's like, say you were very close to Frank Sinatra, and there, on the radio was a singer sounding extremely close to his voice quality and style, and somebody says, "oh, that's Frank Sinatra",well , you would know better.
And, you might not say anything because you didn't want to get into an argument, but you know better.
Ok, even better, Santa Claus, you know we all got into that argument when we we're little.
But, at a certain point, you cross over, and very few, if any ever go back.

Idiot...
“And supposedly, the demolition team was so expert that they could factor in a massive burning for hours, near the demolition cord and explosives.”
Don’t forget their powers of invisiblity...
In fact, the wrong tower had to be blown first, as the fire was going out, the chance had to be taken.
See? They’re everywhere, LOL!
Sarah Michelle Gellar? too funny
" Uh , lets see,, the left hand is the one over here so the right hand must be.....no. Maybe its the right hand is the one over here and...."
