excerpt: Media reported at the time of the shooting that Bedell was a registered Democrat, but an anti-government 'conspiracy theorist', who adhered to libertarian principles. Bedell's Wikipedia page, which has been removed but is mirrored here, stated that he was ""determined 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."
The day after the shooting, the London Times reported 'Pentagon gunman blamed US government for September 11 attacks'. Bedell also had a blog, Rothbardix, which to its' credit, blogspot has not removed.
On his blog, Bedell wrote, in part:
"Hello, and thank you for listening. Justice is a universal desire of conscious individuals. In modern society, critically important organizations work to ensure that justice is established and preserved. Those individuals who work to uphold justice deserve our thanks, our gratitude, and our support. My purpose in this message is to support those who work for justice by addressing matters that any individual within our existing institutions of justice would find difficult or impossible to address."
Bedell continued to discuss property rights, the 'injustice of theft' by governments, and the exploits of 'ruling elites' and 'institutionalized violence'. He explained how governments orchestrate and take advantage of crisis to oppress the people, referring to the September 11th attack and the 'satanic violence' taking place on behalf of the U.S. government in Iraq: [full article here
