Loughner had hundred + posts at abovetopsecret.com website
Edited on Fri Jan-14-11 05:59 PM by RamboLiberal
He also appears to have posted more than a hundred similar messages in the past several months on the conspiracy website, Abovetopsecret.com.

"We here at AboveTopSecret.com, our owners, staff and membership find ourselves in the unfortunate position of apparently being one of the largest (if not the largest) repositories of online postings by someone who has been classified as a 'monster' (among other things) due to his (accused) actions of two days ago," according to a message posted Monday on the site.

Abovetopsecret operators said their research resulted "in an overwhelming amount of anecdotal evidence" that a poster called "erad3" is Loughner.

The messages have similar themes to other Loughner posts: government brainwashing, concerns about currency and declining use of proper grammar.

Loughner's web posts on the conspiracy site also address the end of the world and additional government conspiracies. He also made several postings about NASA, saying several spaceflights are hoaxes.

1. It's full of conspiracy stuff; you can't believe anything you read on it
I'm unaware of it having any special political bent; though its general ideas that powerful forces are doing things in secret can mean lots of anti-government stuff.

3. Byron Williams on his way to shootup the Tides center liked that site
Besides Beck, Williams' favorite sources of information include a familiar litany of fringe writers and websites, including Jones, David Icke, the Jeremiah Project, and AboveTopSecret.com.

7. Exactly, and that's my take on Loughner, too
He was an anti government conspiracy nut who latched onto any conspiracy stuff he could find as proof that he wasn't crazy, the rest of us are.

2. The Washington Post reported that a very concerned poster at TopSecret advised
Loughner to either seek help for schizophrenia or resume taking his meds to which Loughner replied "thanks for your concern".

:rofl:

The 911 Conspiracies forum is pretty popular. Looks like some of our own Truthers would fit right in.

28. Posts w/anything about 911 are linked to the Dungeon, BUT...
If legitimate questions with references to books about the Warren Commission are posted, they go there, too.

OTHER remarks found there are a repository of Stupid. Let's be accurate about stupid.

12. WOW I had not visited there in a while
Lougher is a perfect fit to them.

Might need to go down that rabbit hole this afternoon... suffice it to say the health warning is necessary... there lies madness... in a chtullu kind of a way.

20. Interesting.
The guy was completely utterly batshit crazy.

Very impressed with the posters over there, btw.
For the most part they were very patient with his rantings.

24. I can't help but wonder if Rep. Giffords' husband's status as a Shuttle astronaut might be linked...
...in some tangential way to Loughner's selection of Giffords as a target, after reading his conspiratorial ideas about the space program.

22. Just because a nut claims that 9/11 was an inside job
Edited on Fri Jan-14-11 08:56 PM by cbc5g
Doesn't mean 9/11 wasn't an inside job

governments attack their own to drum up support, I thought people would have learned that by now especially with the revelations about the gulf of tonkin attack.

25. The newly released video
of him walking around school makes me think he might have posted on the Ron Paul Boards
Currency. Constitution. Illegal wars.

I had heard he was a 911 truther previously.
