| A look inside the mind of erad3 (most-likely Jared Loughner) @ Above Top Secret |
| 2011-01-11 |
| 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. Online research that began on Reddit, and continued here on ATS has resulted in an overwhelming amount of anecdotal evidence to support the notion that the "erad3" member account here is Jared Loughner. Indeed, the content found in more than 4,000 Google search returns (including some pages in the mainstream press) have drawn the same conclusion. This is a rather unique situation, to say the least. I and our staff have been considering if we should provide a public statement, and if we do, what should we say? Especially since we're already being contacted by the media for comment and more information. The postings of "erad3" reveal someone who clearly has many questions for which answers have been elusive if not outright impossible to obtain. And despite the best efforts by many of our members, it seemed there were no answers to be found here for which he was satisfied. As is often typical, recent analysis in the media is rampant with all manner of conclusions, second-guesses, exaggerations, distortions, and missing information. The opinion of the staff and owners of AboveTopSecret.com is that it serves the public interest to provide an easy method to access every post made here by erad3 (normally, visitors must be logged-in to view such information). Given the large amount of vitriol and invective aimed at those who have been mistakenly accused of inspiring Loughner, I am glad that ATS has done this so that we can see for ourselves what was going on inside his head instead of relying on secondhand reports from the typical sorts of character assassins masquerading as the media. |

| #1 Those at the DHS should have a cattle prod stuck up their anuses and pointed at this article. Then say "see nothing to do with American Renaissance!" "If you guys stopped watching pron every working day and relying on the Southern Poverty Law Centre for your analyses, you might learn something" Honestly, what has DHS ever accomplished? Can anyone think of one reason why they shouldn't be abolished, root and branch, immediately?? |
